Chapter 183: Wild Hunt Transformation Ritual

"You just said, 'Raging souls are powerless to appease'?"

Ivus was keenly aware of the details of Merlin's words: "What's going on?" Is my soul still alive? ”

“…… Yes. ”

Although saying this to the heroes of yesteryear made Merlin feel a little embarrassed.

But he puffed up his chest and told the truth to Sir Hellechin: "It is obviously impossible for the giants of the past to hold a funeral for you. Even though some people have collected some of the bones, not only are they completely unclear whose part they are, but they are also unable to invite an elven priest from the church to go to Avalon Island for a funeral.

"These souls who cannot rest have been transformed into undead spirits because of powerful resentment. It's even more terrifying and powerful than it was in life.

“…… And the most violent undead among them is you. ”

"You are not allowed to invade or enter any room with the lights on and the door closed! Do not enter any area near a church where the bishop is stationed, and do not attack the sick, pregnant women and people with disabilities! You must not destroy the library or the school, and you must not harm the brave who play and sing to you!

"Thou shalt not drink the wine of the living, nor shall thou eat tribute or burning spices!

There was no warm-up, no transition, and in the blink of an eye, the rain was pouring down!

- It's amber!

…… Then you can only fight to the death.

As Valrhona in his arms dissolved into nothingness, he straightened up with some regret.

Then, in a trance, Ivus saw the heavens and the earth turn into a meaningless dusk.

"That's a good plan, Merlin."

On the contrary, it is similar to the entry for the blue sky and white clouds obtained by Aihuas when he just learned the fire worship technique and stepped into the path of dedication-

Wild hunting, on the other hand, is the opposite: it is hunting for the sake of death, but it gives people hope for life.

For example, if a temple or temple were opened to worship Lord Hellechin, even though the real Hellechin had been transformed into a rampaging undead, it would not have been possible to summon him. However, as long as the "Sir Helcin's weapon" in this temple is used as a medium, it is still possible to summon the former sober-willed and mild-mannered heroic spirit Helechin.

The gentle and bright voice of Khlechin resounded in Aihuas's heart:

[The Lord of Scales says...... It should be enough to do this level.]

Arthur winked at Ivus, reassuring.

Although his tone was so flat that it looked like he was reading lines, it was clear that his usual personality was similar to that. The other Knights of the Round Table are completely unaware that inside this Arthur, there is actually another actor - the future Arthur.

Dark blue electric light fluctuated, linked to all the stone tablets. The words on each stele lit up, and a dark blue electric glow shone on them.

The words leaped out of the stone tablet and emerged into the void. And there are grids that connect them together.

"In the name of the great sage, I will reshape your path of wisdom and beauty for you!

"I give you the privilege of speaking and singing! I give you the privilege of thinking and wisdom! ”

- That's a memory of Khalechin's "horsemanship" and "spearmanship"!

It's like an eye, it's like a door, it's like an egg, it's like some kind of gem.

It was a storm where the light was blurred, and it was impossible to see people clearly. As the rain fell, the lightning connected into a ball and enveloped Ivus in it.

The picture in Ivus's mind slowly began to zoom in, and Khlechin's sunny smile became clearer and clearer. Everything else fades into obscurity.

One of them was loud and full of life and energy, and the other was low, dark and slightly echoed. Each sound is always accompanied by another sound.

And Ivas saw it very clearly—in the innermost four stone tablets, Khlechin's experiences from childhood to adulthood were written.

Because death is always accompanied by life – just as hunting is for survival, it always brings death.

First, the four shortest steles were inserted in the four directions of Aihuas, east, west, north and south, followed by the slightly taller steles and they were staggered at a 45-degree angle in the outer ring, and then the four steles in the southeast, northwest and northwest, which were higher in the outer ring, and finally the four in the outermost circle.

Fragments of memory flowed through his mind—like one picture after another that had no end or end. He didn't quite understand what these clips meant, but just looking at them made him feel a little warm and nostalgic.

He raised his voice and said: "When the rainstorm of the seasons comes, the sound of the hounds of life and death is heard slowly. The unburied war dead roared from the storm—"

With four ancient combat skills that once belonged to the path of "power", but now they have been impregnated by the path of dusk and wisdom-

The dead and the living are stripped of the fourfold realm...... The Wild Hunt Ritual is to transform the souls of these undead warriors into the bodies of wild hunters, restoring them from the three to the fifth paths......

Hellechin winked at Ivus, pointing his thumb at Ivus and smiling heartily.

[Why don't you come and shake hands?] 】

When Ivas's mood became extremely peaceful, the dim yellow clouds dissipated.

Merlin said calmly: "It is precisely because of this that my king will hold the Heroic Spirit Summoning Ceremony that is still being experimented. Summon the Heroic Spirits who fought the giants in the past and fight alongside us.

In a trance, Ivus stretched out his right hand and slowly shook it with the big hand that was much larger than himself.

But there is an exception, and that is to become an undead while maintaining a conscious will. And this requires strong willpower to resist the invasion of the soul by the twilight...... And those who can do this are basically heroes. Hence the names of the undead as Heroic Spirits.

[Come on! 】

“…… But I don't think we have to wait until the battle is over. Against an apostle, perhaps the use of 'heroic spirits' alone is not enough. The best I can think of is to use the Heroic Spirit as a medium to transform your former soul into a Wild Hunter ......"

At this time, a new panel popped up in front of Aihuas:

Unlike his great power at the moment.

When both Arthur and Khlegin nodded in agreement, Merlin's plan was fully aided by the knights.

It's like the Earthbound Spirit who was sealed into the Phantom Card by Ivas - she was just a mortal little girl when she was a human, but under the great resentment, she became a fifth-level phantom.

I see.

And at this moment, the sky gradually became overcast.

It was a huge, golden turntable-like eye.

It looks like a crosshair.

They are able to summon "spirit weapons" with simple self-awareness; Or through some special, long-lasting weapons, to summon a light-type spirit that can control the weapon.

Hearing this, Merlin also breathed a sigh of relief.

Merlin drew the sword at his waist and raised it high above his head.

[Clear Container LV1 (Blue): You take the Amber Egg, and your soul is expanded. 】

"—I pray to Wei Zhe, the god of the four holy numbers!

"The God of Truth, the God of Silence!"

In the future, this skill will be a spell that belongs to the Authoritarian Path—this is the class of the "Squire" of the Authoritarian Path, and the professional ability exclusive to its advanced class "Heroic Commander".

“…… Is it possible to use the false self as a sacrifice and a medium, so as to achieve a ritual with the real Helchin? ”

He opened his right hand, which had been thumbs up, to reveal his right hand, which was much larger than Ehuas, and stretched it forward.

These heroic spirits certainly cannot be the master souls of these weapons...... They are merely imaginary illusions. In other words, it is the "holder" in people's minds. It is an afterimage that carries expectation and worship, an image that is faked into real.

As Merlin prayed, a thick, deep blue thunderbolt fell from the sky and landed on the blade of the sword in his hand.

In front of Eivus, "Hlechin" showed a bright and bold smile for the last time, and stretched out his other hand to Eivus to give a thumbs up again.

By the time Ivus came to his senses again, he had returned to the material realm.

- Doom Charge!

- Necromantic Charge!

- Storm Strike!

- Thunder's Fury!

And at this moment, a panel suddenly popped up in front of Aihuas's eyes:

Evas coughed lightly and said solemnly, "If it is to fight against the High Heaven and its apostles...... I will be happy to cooperate with your ceremony. ”

Suddenly, the Khlechin in the group photo seemed to come to life. And everything around them becomes blurred, melts and disappears.

"Those who are dead and whose souls are alive will be stripped of the sixfold realm! It has the way of twilight because of its death, the way of strength because it is strong, and the way of adaptation because of its existence!

- Don't be afraid, say the word.

With his long howl like a storm, there was a rumbling thunder in the sky. Crackling lightning spread through the thunderclouds, and a large area of lightning fell randomly and furiously around Aihuas.

Instead of summoning a large number of heroic spirits with three or four energy level strengths, it is better to directly transform the undead Helechin into a wild hunt.

Arthur chimed in: "It's up to you, Sir Hellechin. We need your help – you have great power beyond the 'Wall of Equilibrium' in your undead state. If we can turn into a wild hunt, it will be very helpful for us to fight against the 'tyrant'. ”

And the so-called "Heroic Spirit Summoning" is actually not summoning a real Heroic Spirit.

"You must not stop hunting, you must not stop fighting! Like a storm that never ceases, but sleeps temporarily—"

- It must be one of the knights in the current camp Arthur. It is able to continue to exist as a Heroic Spirit, also because it is always sealed away in the Holy Sword and remains asleep.

Unable to resist the urge, Ivas raised his head, clenched his fists and roared to the sky.

"Once the battle is over, we can rely on your connection to the souls of the dead to force the purification. After all, the heroes of the past should not be transformed into the undead who are feared and hated by the people because they have no place to be buried......

Time seems to freeze in the whole world.

Legacy Hunt LV2: [Wild Hunt Tactics -1 (0%)], [Dead Martial Arts -1 (0%)]

Eventually, the images slowed down and paused to the photograph of Hlechin with his wife, Valrhona.

He seemed to see something—

[Earth Affinity LV1 (Blue): You approach the Amber Egg and comprehend a little bit of the essence of the earth. 】

- And in this day and age, there is no authoritarian path at all.

- It was a ritual circle of sixteen boulders.

The voice that had been used as a narrator in Aihuas's mind suddenly sounded at this moment.

"Hate" is an extremely valuable nourishment for the undead. Transcendents who harbor great resentment and become undead tend to be much stronger than they were in life.

But hearing this, Ivas's consciousness gradually blurred.

Basic Occupations –

This is not only related to the path of authoritarianism and transcendence, but even to the path of beauty and the path of twilight. Necromancy has a similar ability, capable of briefly manifesting a soul that has already died, or even reincarnated.

True Immortal is very rare. And if left unprotected, the Heroic Spirits will gradually fade from their sacredness after some time, and degenerate into ordinary undead spirits over a long period of time.

It's essentially like burying polluting waste somewhere no one is – if it's really haunted, it's a big deal. Anyway, the undead can't run far, so you don't have to worry about chasing after them.

The "Heroic Spirit Helchen" summoned by Arthur was used to replace the irrational undead Helchen signing ceremony...... So as to soberly sell himself to Wei Zhe and become a wild hunt under Wei Zhe.

"No wonder he came out into a momentary time stoppage...... "Ivus thought to himself.

So Ivas settled down.

The only "true Heroic Spirit" that Ivus knew of so far was the Heroic Spirit sleeping in the red-hilted sword.

His expression was cold, still the same calm and steady poker face.

- Huh? Am I coming? Aren't you coming?

Ivus was stunned for a moment, and looked at Arthur.

Ivus should be the world's "first summoned Heroic Spirit". A Heroic Spirit summoned by Arthur himself.

The moment he met Him, a great fear appeared in Evas's heart.

Immediately afterwards, the extremely pure "skill" flowed into Aihuas's heart-

Khlegin and his retinue were tortured and killed by the giants while they were alive...... But after dying and turning into the undead, the giants did not dare to provoke them.

Listening to Merlin explain his plan and watch him begin to set up the ritual, Ivus began to understand.

Probably like when Ivus came into contact with Lancelot I during the Shadow of Avalon ceremony.

It is the fear that can burn curiosity and freeze hope, and the mind is emptied in the blink of an eye, and the sense of time is frozen here—

If "Sir Hellechin" is more conservative and disagrees with this, then he can't actually force Hellechin to be converted into a wild hunt.

Faintly, Ivus heard two hounds barking.

Three hundred years of combat experience have sprung up in Ivus's heart intermittently.

Ivas faintly saw something in the sky looking at him. But I couldn't see its existence at all, and I only felt that my mood was gradually becoming calmer.

What Merlin had to do was to exchange Sir Hellechin for the real.

With the help of the knights, Merlin completed his ritual field at full speed.

- The term "Heroic Spirit" originally referred to the spirits of the undead who were rational.

The four stone tablets that are staggered and oblique are written with words of respect for Wei Zhe.

[The rest, I'll leave it to you]

Often, the undead are either confused and hateful to the living, or they are transformed by great resentment.

In the midst of the storm that obscured all vision, the dark clouds on the horizon surged, and the herds of horses and hounds turned black in a blur.

As the words fell, Khlechin's image shattered.

Usually, this technique is used to guard the goal. For example, if you want to guard an important warehouse, but you are worried that someone will steal it, you can summon Heroic Spirits to create Heroic Spirits that never sleep and will not be bewitched by invisibility and illusion to guard the door.

Maybe it can't be done...... Or maybe it's because you don't want to do it. After all, Hellechin is his idol.

He had turned into a gigantic, pitch-black King of the Hunt, and an infinite amount of madness was surging within him. Eivus, who had never felt such a powerful force, even had the illusion that he could crush the earth with a little force.

From the experiences of being born and learning as a child and teenager, to the adventures, growth and love of youth. The third stele bears his exploits, and the fourth stele says the cause of his death.

[Earth Container LV1 (Blue): When you touch the Amber Egg, your soul is expanded. 】

This is probably the reason why the giants specially set up the inaccessible "Beheading Valley" as a place for execution.

Washton was enlightened.

This is exactly the contact that comes from the twilight path!
