Chapter 55: Cancer

Roth followed the route he remembered, and without hindrance, reached the room where the villagers were supposed to be imprisoned.

The demonic power had faded, and the vampires had long since dispersed, leaving no obstacle along the way except for a few cave-ins.

It's not that Roth is still thinking about rewriting the illusion, but with the real Lijielit's ability, even if he accidentally throws him back with a slip of his hand, he can get him back in an instant, and since he was left in the illusion, it means that things may not be so simple.

It doesn't necessarily make sense to come here, but at least it's more in line with Roth's heart than staying where he is.

This is a room that is too gorgeous and comfortable for a prison cell, the floor is covered with purple velvet stalls, the jade walls are decorated with copper-colored candlesticks, and the magic candles emit a faint colorless light, so that everything in the room is plated with a strange original color, and the fly in the ointment is that there is no furniture in the house, probably to accommodate the villagers.

The worst that Roth had envisioned was a room filled with the corpses of the villagers, or a house collapsing and the fate of the villagers unknown, but the empty appearance of the place was beyond Roth's expectations.

Did they flee, but there were no footprints, and the corridors of the half-collapsed castle were littered with dust and rubble, and it was impossible for an ordinary person to move without leaving a trace, let alone a villager.

It seems that the only way to save people in this way is Sken's teleportation technique...... But in the original past, he shouldn't have been able to succeed, otherwise Jieli wouldn't have to become a vampire, and now that he has succeeded, can it be said that although he has pit himself to death, he has actually changed the course of the illusion in terms of the result? But he doesn't seem to have done anything, Lijielit also said that the succubus is a hidden character, which means that in the original past, she was just a bystander who didn't miss her face.

Roth didn't know what to do next, this illusion should have been meaningless when he messed up, right, could it be difficult to go back? Or go to find Jieli?

"Ahh

Whether she was the Ligellette of the Illusion or the real one, Roth didn't know.

"Lijielit, it's me! I'll come to this room, but there's no one here. ”

That should be fine.

"There's still a remnant of magic here, and I guess Skeng saved the villagers. Looks like I caused some distortion when I showed you the battle situation on my side, and this guy couldn't have made it in the first place. ”

It seemed to be the real one, and Roth breathed a sigh of relief.

"What the hell is going on?" he asked.

Ligeret walked into the room, she smelled of blood and sulfur, as if she had just experienced a great battle, it seemed that the real Lijielit had borrowed her own body from the illusion?

Lijielit seemed very tired, and when she walked in, she lay down directly on the velvet stall, let out a comfortable breath, and said, "I may have to ask you, what is the matter with the piece of meat parasitic on your body?"

"Lump of meat?" Roth didn't know what she was talking about.

Ligeret rubbed her head against the carpet, "Sure enough, you can't see it yourself...... Do you believe me?"

As she spoke, she held out a hand towards Rot.

Roth thought for a moment and grabbed the soft ...... Although I want to say this, I really can't describe it like this, but lotus root should be used to describe the wrist, and her fingers are not so meaty, yes, she is not fat, just a little more meat......

A sharp pain interrupted Roth's thoughts, as if something had scurried from his hand to his nose and eye.

He just wanted to cover his sensitive nose with his hand, but he was so smoked by the smell of blood that he had to let go.

"Ahem, this is, ...... at that time?"

When he reopened his eyes, which had been closed by pain, he found that half of his body was covered with sticky blood, and he couldn't wipe it off.

"What happened at that time? Tell me about it. Ligeret waited for him to recover before asking.

Roth felt that the problem seemed to be big, so he told Lijielit about the hallucinations he had encountered in the previous illusion in the Fallen Village, but he did not explain anything between himself and the Gray Man, and then he briefly mentioned the boy who smelled the blood on his body, and the encounter with the Outlanders.

"So you thought the blood spilled on you was just an indirect means of attracting trouble?" Lijielit, who was lying on the carpet, turned to her side, "but when I first noticed you, you had a sarcoma the size of half a man, and it was disgusting to look at." Now all that's left is blood because I took all those pieces of meat and played with them...... As a result, my power suddenly went out of control for a split second. ”

Roth looked at the blood stains on his body, imagining the appearance of huge sarcomas growing from these places, a little creepy, he lifted his clothes, and found that the blood was directly attached to his body, if the clothes were more than three centimeters away from the body, they would fade the blood, and once they got close, they would be soaked in blood.

"So what's going on now?" asked Roth, worried.

"It's hard to say, it feels calm, but I haven't found the reason for the loss of control. I felt a strange power from these pieces of flesh, and as a master of manipulating blood and energy, of course I wanted to refer to it, and I thought I had fully understood the secret of this thing, but now I am not sure. You should stay here for a while, and then let you out when I'm sure you're okay, so that there won't be another accident. Lijlitt said in a relaxed tone.

Lot nodded, knowing that it was useless, but he couldn't help but wipe the blood from his body.

"Do you want me to make you invisible again?" Ligeret suggested, looking at him as uncomfortable.

"Out of sight is pure...... No, no, even if you can't see it, it's still stuck to me, isn't it, so let me look at them. Roth refused.

"Won't you ask if I can help you get rid of it completely?"

Roth shook his head and said, "Aren't you already out of control because of this thing?"

"But now that I can't find anything out of the ordinary, I think it's a good idea to take the initiative to stimulate it. As she spoke, she held out her hand to Rot, and the blood on his body seemed to evaporate red, and the smell of blood became even stronger and more pungent.

"Nosy!"

A mouth emerges from the blood on Roth's body and shouts!

Then half of Roth's blood-stained body burst out as if it had exploded!

Ligeret was shocked and hurriedly used the black worm that was sent into Roth's body in order to allow him to perceive the blood, and the black worm instantly exploded, turning into pure blood, trying to heal the huge wound on Roth's body.

"It's a surviving vampire?ridiculous guy, you're just a flu-like being, and you dare to spoil my good deeds, I'm the cancer of this world!"

The blood-colored thorns tore through the space, leaving the unrecognizable one's space separate and pulled out, and Ligeret crushed the space to pieces as she tried to wake up Rot.

"Hey, Rot, wake up, if you really die like this, won't it be a stain on my life!"

The blood-stained part of Rot's body was almost completely gone, and Lijielit tried to repair the wounds on Rot's body, but the regrown flesh and blood instantly turned into a blood mist and drifted in the direction of a blood-colored thorn.

Lijlitt immediately shattered the space where the thorn was, but instead of completely shattering with the space, the thorn fell off a huge fragment of a human shape, and the fragment quickly transformed into the appearance of the unrecognizable one.

"What a nuisance...... You didn't create this illusion, did you? There's no reason for a vampire to do such a thing, is it the will of the world?"

While the unrecognizable person spoke, Lijielit had planned to collapse the space here again, but the space began to shatter, and those void gaps were filled with hideous flesh and blood, and even the spatial cracks that Lijielit secretly spread out were not spared.

"You want to destroy the whole illusion to kill me? Hmph, it doesn't matter if you succeed, but I don't have a reason to take care of you like that. ”

Suppressing her control over flesh and blood was unthinkable for Lizzett, and realizing the strength of her enemies, she gave up on continuing to be distracted and resisting the filth, and pulled all the blood and energy in the vortex of blood and darkness back to her body!

In the black castle where the filth appeared, the figure that had been sitting upright on the throne and could not even identify its gender finally became the lord of the castle.

Lista, who was fighting the vampire in the illusion assigned to him, was suddenly thrown back to reality, and the twin swords that had been swinging at the vampire slashed at the stone wall of Castle Black, shaking his arms numb.

"Hmm!

As he inquired, he retreated to find that his comrades, who were supposed to be fighting alongside him, had disappeared, and he didn't know what had happened for a moment.

Under the vigilance, he summoned the Wheel of Divine Might, and found that the Wheel of Divine Might, which could operate unhindered in the illusion, had reverted back to a state of disobedience, and Lista, who was stunned for a moment, realized that he had actually returned to reality.

I didn't lose my memory, and the dry food and injuries I ate in the illusion didn't recover, which is completely different from what the information said!

And to his surprise, neither to his surprise, is that Roth has not yet returned to reality.

“...... Is there a turning point to solve the problems here, or is it a crisis that makes everything worse......" Lista muttered to himself as he looked at Castle Black, which seemed to have made some changes in front of him.

Rot, who lost consciousness because he lost almost half of his body in an instant, has some signs of waking up for some reason.

Even Lijliet was amazed, because it was physiologically impossible for a human to remain conscious like this!

Even if she withdrew the power she had originally used to fight against the filth, she still couldn't take advantage of the unrecognizable, and nearly half of the blood she used to attack the opponent would be controlled by him, and Lijielit, who immediately changed her strategy, summoned her staff and fought the enemy with magic for the first time in a long time.

However, no matter how she toggles the properties of her magic, the effect is still extremely limited.

Fire, ice, thunder, rocks, hurricanes, and even great magic that directly interferes with space-time and gravity have little effect.

It's no wonder that a person who can get out of even the shattering of space can be hurt by the power underneath?

Lijielit just wanted to use the blind cat to kill the rat to see if the other party would have any elemental weaknesses, to be honest, when she lost in the control of blood and qi, she couldn't find a victory, but it was impossible for her to just wait for death.

Puff!

A thunderbolt that slashed at the unrecognizable man was transformed into a tree of flesh, and Lijielit hurriedly severed the connection to the magic to avoid being affected by the crazy growth of flesh.

And at this time, the transformed flesh and blood have begun to coalesce, and it seems that they are about to form a new unrecognizable person again!

"I wanted to play with you, but I didn't expect that guy to be dead...... I can't blame me!" the humanoid monster sneered, and the sarcomas that had filled the spatial rift caused by Lijielet before began to move, and Lijielit felt that her control over the illusion was threatened.

"Where the hell did the monster come from...... I've lived a long time!There's no reason I've never heard of such a horrible thing!" Lijliet didn't try to hide it, she just wanted to cry.

"Q...... I ......" Roth, who was only half of his body, muffled his voice came out of his mouth.

"Ask you, ask you?" Ligellette summoned a large number of blood-colored thorns to surround herself and the space where Roth was, preventing the unrecognizable one from interfering.

"Q...... I...... Isn't it...... Camouflage ......"

"Are you disguised?" said Ligerett strangely, "you have a lot of problems, big and small, what's the point of caring about this kind of problem...... Uh-huh!"

At the moment when Ligeret asked the question, a pocket watch suddenly appeared out of nowhere and fell to the ground.

"It's ...... Cursed breath?!" Ligeret was surprised.

Roth's body began to change at this time, from the image of a yellow-skinned and black-haired Qin and Han people to the appearance of a fair-skinned and blonde Wicken people, in other words, it began to change back to its original form.

This is the true face of the disguise ability of this pocket watch, not some transformation spell, but a more extreme existence.

Curse.

Like a prince who turns into a frog in a fairy tale, or a princess who appears as a white wolf.

Of all the curses, the most difficult to see through and the most difficult to break by force is the curse that is carried out voluntarily by the cursed, and a careless curse will penetrate deep into the soul, even if the caster himself is unable to break the curse.

The most common scenario in stories related to transformational curses is that when the curse is lifted, the prince who was about to die will instantly recover his health, and the purpose of the curse in such a story is not so much to do evil as to test the protagonist.

The pocket watch that Joel gave to Roth originally belonged to an Assassin, and the curse attached to the watch was also very special - the effect of the curse was only lifted when someone asked him if he had disguised or transformed.

This kind of self-binding curse is often strengthened, just as the common curse of the old days would die once it fought a person, in exchange for the means of great lethality in the face of inhuman objects, and at the cost of being immediately exposed if asked, this pocket watch is exchanged for a powerful camouflage ability that even legends can hide.

Disguise yourself with the curse on your pocket watch, wait for an opportunity to assassinate, and when the assassination fails, induce the assassination target to ask yourself to solve the curse, instantly heal the injury and change to its original appearance to fight back, which is exactly such an assassination prop.

It's just that in the eyes of Joel, who got this thing, this is an insurance for his master.

Even if something happens to Roth and he is seriously injured, as long as he unravels the spell, he can be cured instantly, and once Roth shows his face, he will naturally be protected by various forces because of his identity as Joel's master - or controlled, no matter what, he will not be in danger again.

But Joel could never have imagined that his master would become an adventurer, and it would not be long before such bizarre and dangerous things happened again and again.

As for this pocket watch, it is obvious that even its maker underestimated its ability, it is not only as simple as being able to hide from the legend, but the maker does not have the conditions and guts to test it in front of a stronger existence.

Of course, even if it was restored to its original state in an instant, the blood of the unrecognizable person would not disappear because of it, but unlike Lijielit's flesh and blood regeneration, the changes brought about by the cursed contact would allow him to temporarily restore his full body even for a moment.

So before the sarcoma of the unrecognizable broke through the blood-colored thorns, a gray sword qi from outside the sky arrived here first.

"Whew!"

Although the gray sword qi only passed through her blood-colored thorns, a sense of empathy and tearing still reached Lijielit's body.

"What's going on, although they can be equivalent to my clones, there's no reason why the damage will be transmitted!"

Even if she was taken away from the control of her flesh and qi by the unrecognizable person, her body was not affected by the other party, it can be said that it is by relying on this hand that she has been able to resist the erosion of filth for thousands of years, but at this moment, the gray sword qi can hurt her in this way.

And she's not even a target for the other party!

The tangled and inextricable blood in Roth's body actually left his body at this time, trying to escape.

Until then, however, the world had turned gray.
