Chapter 407: Deadly Sin Card: Night Demon (2-in-1)
As Ivus chanted, the space around him fell into complete silence in an instant.
The brilliant colors like oil paint are smeared in the space, and the "contrast" of Ivus's whole person suddenly begins to rise violently, and the whole person becomes vivid and prominent.
In the next moment, the right side of his neck, left chest, and abdomen appeared a brilliant red.
It wasn't the dark red of blood...... It's more like ketchup, or liquid fire.
In an instant, Ivus's whole person was suddenly shattered, and the painting style and tone returned to normal. And the sound returns.
At this moment, his whole body was covered with shallow cracks that were about to crack, and the aura of ethereal nothingness from the twin mirrors overflowed from the wounds all over his body. The cracks all over the body were soaked in white light.
Those three wounds are the three doors.
Like the three moons with different phases, clear moonlight oozes out when it rotates.
The dark and cold aura of the Fallen Heaven Division soaked in from beneath Evas, intertwining with the moonlight and filling in the illusory purple outline of the card.
The black and purple breath is entwined, constantly tuning, condensing, and gathering.
Ivus whispered to the Daredevil's name, "Daredevil...... Vignes, my little crow.
"I call on your name at this moment, and I impress you with jealousy.
"From now on, my life is your life, and my fate is your destiny......
"—Obey me, illusion of the way of transcendence!"
Ivus in the form of a child of the moon had a soft, hoarse voice, like the murmur of the night.
Then, Ivus and Daredevil froze at the same time. The surroundings were quiet and darkened again, except for the colors of Ivas and Daredevil. It's like a jewel in the moonlight under the dark night sky.
Ivus's pupils are similar to the Daredevil's scarlet. The moment the two looked at each other, a black illusory chain emerged from Ivus's heart and pierced into the Night Demon's body.
It was a chain of Ivus's "soul" and "fate".
It's not something tough. Rather, it's the opposite...... It was a very fragile chain that needed to be cared for.
If the Daredevil struggled, simply breaking this chain would be enough to inflict an instant blow on Ivus.
But she didn't put it up, but stood still, allowing Evas to connect with her soul and resonate with her.
In an instant, Evas's eyes went black, and his whole person fell into the void of nothingness.
When Ivus opened his eyes again, he saw himself in the familiar and strange streets of the Empire.
But it was not Bayard, as Ivas was well known, that stood on the street, but a dark-haired girl who was younger than Yulia.
A young girl walks alone in the rain. Her wet pupils were clear and soft, shivering like an abandoned puppy. She wore a thin and delicate white dress, a straw hat with a large brim on her head, and stretched out her hands to press her straw hat, but her long hair was still wet from the rain.
When people came and went saw Bayard, they bypassed on their own.
She walked forward in confusion, and those who were much taller than her were like two human walls, blocking the whole world in the misty rain. And that street seems endless, and there is no end to it. The figures on both sides seem to spread to the end of the world, and you can't see the edge when you look up.
There was only the sound of rain in the whole world, and no one spoke to her.
The girl walked like this, and at some point she became a big lady with a cold face and an elegant temperament, and it was still raining outside. The streets on the left and right have been subtly changed.
She wore a long skirt with a servant holding an umbrella behind her. Still walking in the crowd, the crowd is still out of the way of two human walls left and right.
But she walked down the street, and still no one answered her.
She walked again, stopped, and became the child of the moon with scarlet eyes, and the servant behind her was gone. The slender white fingers were pressed against the side of his mouth, and he was silent.
At some point, the rain around it had turned into a rain of blood. The streets were densely packed with fewer people, and the shops on both sides of the street became dilapidated.
At this moment, a shadow suddenly rushed from behind her, grabbed her and walked forward.
The shadow was like her tainted by shadows, and two-thirds of it turned into a pitch-black silhouette. On the originally white face, only one eye remained. The other eye turned into a dangerous red glow in the dark shadows.
That's another self!
She staggered forward following the swift shadow, but a rare smile appeared on her face.
She was chatting happily with each other...... But the shadow went faster and faster, and she gradually couldn't keep up. Then she smiled and gave up and let go of her hand.
When the shadow suddenly felt a lightness in his hand and turned around. She had turned into a puddle of blood, melted in the rain of blood.
Those two human walls have completely disappeared. The world has become so pure.
The blood rain fell to the ground like this, and the Shadow Demon kept looking back, bathed in the blood rain alone.
The streets were deserted, and the once prosperous streets were left with only the ruins of the aftermath of the war.
Pure smoke that steamed like black dry ice emanated from her, and two lines of blood slipped down her face. I don't know if it's tears or rain.
At this moment, she rubbed her eyes, looked at the night sky without sun and moon, and blocked her eyes with her hand.
She opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Because it's unnecessary.
There was no one around her. No one cares if she exists.
Even more tragic than the rage is that even the rage has turned into nothingness.
And at this moment, someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder.
The Shadow Fiend, half vigilant, half expectant, turned around and saw the white-robed priest with a black umbrella.
The hem of Ivus's robe was soaked with blood like a wave. And the shadow under the umbrella only shows half of his chin.
The corners of his mouth could be seen slightly raised. He looked down and chuckled, his mouth moving slightly to say something, and he let his umbrella forward a little.
- That's a small point.
Without letting yourself get caught in the rain, a small part of the space was caught.
When Shadow Fiend came back, she quickly began to change back to her previous form.
Shadow Fiend, Moonchild, Miss, Little Girl......
Eventually, she turned into the shivering girl in the white dress again, and turned around and hugged Ivus.
Evas didn't reach out and hug her, but lowered his gaze, compassionate, and gentle.
"Vignes, my little crow."
For the first time, Aihuas's voice came clearly from the bloody night.
The next moment, the curtain of red was pulled up again.
The whole world was submerged in a sea of blood.
When Ivus woke up again, he appeared in the maze of mirrors.
Countless shattered mirrors surrounded him, each containing a fragment of Vignes, or Bayard, from a different time period.
All of them looked at Ivus, smiling in different amplitudes, but all genuinely.
Ivus raised his hand.
Not in front of you, but in the air.
A huge, horizontal black circle instantly spawned from above the earth, rapidly rising upward.
Under the reflection of the circle, the virtual images in those mirrors disappeared in an instant.
The circle flew into the sky, and a crow pattern appeared in the sky.
A pitch-black circular mark is imprinted on the middle circle and covers the crow.
In an instant, the circle began to collapse from the outermost circle.
Circle after circle contraction, until finally only the black ring in the middle, about a person high, remained.
The crow motif inside flapped its wings slightly, raised its head and let out a silent and excited cry.
Ivus opened his eyes again, and found that the Daredevil had disappeared without a trace.
The crow ring, which was only a palm's diameter, appeared in front of Eivus, level with the ground.
And the two new tarot cards were also slowly printed out of the void one by one, and appeared on the upper and lower sides of the ring.
A pitch-black electric light is connected between the two cards, as if some kind of magnetic force is attracting them closer together.
The original "Lover" card was a naked man and a woman gathered together under the guidance of angels, and behind them were two trees symbolizing fertility and taboos.
The newborn lover card is controlled by a white-robed wizard with a string, and the emperor and queen are approaching like puppets, and the card face is similar and opposite. Countless overlapping doors open around it, and a path that shines behind it shines brightly.
The Demon Card, on the other hand, originally resembled a long-horned demon sitting on a throne with red skin. It looked at the slave bound in chains and manipulated by itself, and smiled cruelly. And those slaves have grown the symbols of the devil - horns and tails.
The newborn demon card is just a three-eyed white goat standing on top of a huge penis. Its swirling horns resembled two strands of DNA, pointing to the sky.
Eventually, as the two cards gradually spawned and became clear, they slowly moved closer to the middle.
When the two cards come together, it suddenly bursts into a burst of brilliance.
It turned into a thin card like a black crystal.
The face of the card is outlined in a blood-like crimson pattern.
Cold, cruel, mysterious.
It spun, and soon came to a well-behaved stop in front of Ivus.
Ivus stretched out his right hand, tapped lightly on the card, and wrote his name.
Its properties were also immediately revealed.
【Deadly Sin: Daredevil (Lovers, Demons)】
[Level: 50]
[Beyond the path, the attribute is dark]
The sixth energy level, the upper level of the illusion.
A truly devastating force - a powerful helper in defeating the Fallen Celestials!
Ivus took a deep breath, stifled the excitement in his heart, and checked the card's attributes.
The Mortal Sin Card cannot be used by "burning" the number of times, but it can be used once a day on both sides.
Generally speaking, positive is close to the effect of a spell; Reverse is the summoning of the body.
Sure enough, the positive effect of this card is a spell effect -
【Positive Summoning: Dire Mirror】
[Necessary: Dark 5]
[Immediate, non-contact, effective immediately]
[Effect: Summons the power of the Night Demon to erode the target mirror surface and generate a mirror image of itself; Mirrors can cast spells and have a separate pool of mana, but they can't make sounds, can't move, can't use items, and can't deal damage of any kind; When the mirror image lasts for one minute, is actively shattered, or is shattered by others, it will deal Shadow/Dirty/Curse type damage to the surrounding person or to the person who shattered it, and the damage can be switched by itself, and the target will be dealt the lowest type of damage by default.
【Reverse Summon: Daredevil】
[Necessary: Dark 5]
[Maintenance: Dark 5 * Daily]
【Action, Summon】
[Effect: Summons the Envious Beast Night Demon to fight for you, and the Night Demon is regarded as a summon; When not in combat, the Envious Beast Daredevil can transform into a Night Raven and enter the following state; Only one Beast of Sin can exist at a time]
Like other cardinal sin cards, its blue consumption is also a thunderbolt of five points.
The reverse effect is a normal summoning, just like calling a little butterfly.
And the positive effect ...... Ivus glanced at it slightly, and it seemed to be a little interesting.
If Ivus understands correctly, this skill means that it can create a self-casting totem.
It can't "deal damage", but it can heal!
It can heal and add buffs. You can also draw cards with Ivus, and rounding up is equivalent to a two-line operation...... It's just that the mirror image can't do damage, and it shatters when touched.
But it doesn't matter if it's shattered at the slightest touch - because if someone attacks it and it is shattered, then the enemy will be counterattacked, even if it's far from the mirror!
If you don't interrupt, stand still and help someone heal, dispel, or add status; If interrupted, it creates a powerful adaptive counterattack!
And looking at that "independent mana pool", it seems that mirror casting can also do without the mana of Ivus's body!
It can be triggered actively, and it can also be detonated directly to deal area damage!
“…… It's a PVP skill. ”
Aihuas's eyes widened and he sighed with satisfaction.
Unlike the flame butterflies that small butterflies provide and can be used repeatedly, it tends to have extreme bursts.
The only drawback is that the mirror cannot be moved.
And if you use it well...... For example, with the "Cloak of Shadow" to disarm and stealth, it may also be able to mislead the enemy into thinking that they have teleported. This allows it to absorb damage and replace its death......
Anyway, the effect of this spell is a "non-action" spell that works "instantly". In other words, Ivas only needs a thought to take effect, and he doesn't need to reach out to a mirror.
It's just that I have to be a little wronged by the little butterfly.
Ivus couldn't get the Wandering Flame Butterfly and the Night Raven to follow him at the same time...... He could only let a great beast in his traveling form follow him.
And compared to the little butterfly, the night demon whose combat power has been formed is more suitable for following.
Not to mention, Ivas is now missing the Shadow Fiend, an overseer who can be used anytime and anywhere. Baby butterflies lack vigilance, and the Night Raven can make up for this.
Before summoning the Night Raven, Ivus took out his Book of Law and gave the card inside.
The count of the [Book of Laws of Aihuas] immediately jumped upwards by two knots and rose to (7/21).
The number of times Ivus's "burn card" can be used has also changed from once a day to twice.
At this moment, there was a sudden change in the Book of Law-
It suddenly bloomed with gorgeous brilliance, and the extraordinary trait that was originally written "Unlock after logging in to seven magic cards" suddenly appeared.
[Extraordinary Feature: At the cost of a logged-in Phantom Card that has not entered the cooldown, the effect of the Mortal Sin Card with the same attributes is enhanced]
This is......
"Mortal Sin Strengthened!"
Ivus's eyes widened in surprise.
- It's worthy of being your own book of law, and every entry is really the best!
Update complete!
After finishing the ceremony, I feel that I have to ask for leave tomorrow, and my body is almost unbearable, so I can resume my work and rest......
