Chapter 43: Future Vision (Pseudo)
The illusion that Roth is experiencing now that can recreate the past is a high-level divine technique unique to the former [Valhalla Church], called [Realm of Vanity], which should have been used only by priests of the Grand Patriarch level.
Even now, when the Pastists have defected en masse, the Church has not made it public, and Roth was able to learn about it thanks to Joel, a good disciple.
Before the true god fell into a deep sleep, this kind of high divine art was said to be able to rewrite the past, but now because it can no longer borrow the power of the true god, especially because of the pollution of the [past] of this world by filth, it seems that the former high divine art only has the ability to play back.
This is also in line with Roth's experience in the village's vision, where the villagers' reactions are all regular, and they don't really react to Roth's temptation, but the illusion brings up a similar situation from the past they have experienced, and replays it against Roth.
Normally, it's hard to tell, but the village's illusion has a drawback in that the villagers who lived a relatively peaceful life hundreds of years ago haven't experienced a few life-threatening crises, and there are limited models available in this regard.
The villagers there quickly recited the repetition of Roth's blade, and even one of them would only shout "Bandits!" no matter how many times he was killed, which may have been his last words.
But Roth is now in disarray.
Because in this fantasy of Castle Black, whether it is Jieli, Lijielit or Kosei, their every move is too real and vivid.
Previously, Roth had adopted a strategy of not interfering with the past as much as possible, so this was not obvious, but now the battle with Kosie made Roth a little confused.
Roth clenched his long knife tightly, blaming that Koshie for not fighting well, and had to stop talking and asking questions halfway through, causing distraction......
It was very dangerous to lose the spirit in the original [Realm of Death], not to mention that the current illusion was still based on the filthy black castle, and no one knew what would happen if it was lost here.
Let's fight, you won't be cranky in battle!
"It's not good to fight with doubts, Rot, that will lead to defeat!" Lijliet put her right hand around Rot's right shoulder, who wanted to take the initiative, and stopped him.
This is not a normal gesture used to pull people, but rather an act of intimacy between partners.
But what really stopped Roth was not the strength of her right hand, but the plump thing that was pasted up because of her action.
Hey, can he blame him? He hasn't been intimate with a woman since his mother died! Even if he reminds himself that this is just a phantom of the past, he can't be at peace.
"Hey Kosei, it was Mr. Roth who found your ambush before, and he claimed that it was a gut feeling, but ......" Lijliet was completely unaware of Roth's predicament, and just kept this position and said to Kosie, "He's not aware of his abilities as a short-sighted human, but we can see it, right?"
Kosher was induced to think by Lijielit's success, and gritted his teeth and said, "There is a human with a vision of the future!? Could it be that some other prophet has sent him to sabotage our plans!"
"It's not that simple!" Lijliet shook Rott to make his predicament a little more serious, "I can assure you, just as he doesn't know the truth about his abilities at all, he doesn't think he got here by anyone's arrangement, I say that, you should understand, right?"
"Hiding behind the scenes, so that the pawn unknowingly acts according to his plan......" Koscher was wearing a mask, but Roth could imagine the look on his face when he said this.
Isn't this vampire a little too easy to deceive, why does Lijielit let him think whatever he wants......
Kosher said to Lijielit, "Why do you want to cooperate with this pawn when you also sense that someone is plotting against you!"
Lijielit laughed, "It's not the first time I've been calculated, what's the matter?
"Don't you have any idea about the imminent extinction of the Bloodline!?
Lijielit said disdainfully: "I don't know how many species have been extinct in this world, and if it is the turn of vampires this time, it only shows the weakness of us as a race." ”
A purple-red flame burst out of Kosei's hand and shouted, "How can a noble blood race be a weak race!
"Kosei!" Lijielit's eyes flashed with bright red, so that Koseit couldn't make a move immediately, and then she patted Roth who was holding her arms and said, "There are three major classifications of future vision, and the way to deal with different future visions is completely different, do you know? The future is deduced by integrating all the information of the present, and the last is to grasp the past so thoroughly that it reaches the state of "nothing new in the world", and thus understands the future. What type of person do you think he is? Do you really think about what to do? Kosey!"
Kosei's will to fight was so noticeably weakened that even the flames in his hands shook because of it.
Fighting with doubts will lead to defeat, and Roth recalls this sentence, is this really just for Roth?
"It can't be the third, talent aside, it's impossible for him to accumulate enough experience for the third future!The first or the second, how should I deal with it......" Koche muttered to himself.
The red glint in Lijielit's eyes deepened, "Kosei...... Otherwise, you'll give up this time. ”
"No way! Now is the best chance, everyone trusts me to give me this task, how can I ......?"
As Koseige roared, Ligeret let go of her grip on Roth and whispered in his ear, "Come on." ”
The power in Rot's body suddenly exploded with a momentum beyond the usual, and the body made an action before thinking, and slashed forward!
Kosher was very jealous to avoid Rot's edge, and Kelly's right claw immediately grabbed him with a blood-colored trajectory!
Even while taking on the claw, he did his best to avoid Roth's possible offensive lanes, rather than choosing the one that minimized the damage.
"Hahaha!"
In Lijielit's unbridled laughter, the blood claws and purple fire clashed fiercely, and several small cracks appeared in the armor on Kosei's body in the impact, but fortunately, the night mode was enveloping his whole body, so he was not taken advantage of by the rising sun as if he was counterattacked in stealth mode.
Even with such a disadvantage, Kosei's sense of battle still found a flaw for him!
The nun who ran away from her place of light was scattered!
Now that there is no obstacle to her path, although Ligeret is immune to sunlight, her magic will inevitably be weakened during the day, and she has only just woken up, so she is very weak, as long as she is out of melee combat, she has no time to stop herself!
The Archduchess was known for her eccentric personality, and she often put herself in danger for unreasonable reasons, and it was clear that this time it was the nun who was all she valued!
Purple Fire turned into a giant snake and forcibly forced Lijielit back, but just as he was about to make a move, he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.
Will this be seen by the man who has the vision of the future?
How could Ligerlitt reveal such a glaring flaw?
There is only a moment of thinking about it.
It's really just a moment.
A dark spell struck Kosei's body.
Vampires are immune to dark damage, and so is the armor called the Veil of Night.
But Kosher didn't even have a chance to wonder this time, and the Night Veil malfunctioned under Ligerett's spell, and the sunlight-distorting function stopped working!
The damage of sunlight to vampires is not something that can be blocked by a set of full-body armor without special effects.
Unlike an arm that is exposed to sunlight.
It's also different from being hit in the face by the light.
The vampire fell to the ground, white smoke pouring out of the cracks in his armor, but this time he lost even the ability to wail, as his throat burned in the morning sun.
Ligeret shook her head and said to Kosei, "I warned you, I've seen the blueprints for the Night Veil. Or did the vampire who made this armor not even tell you about its greatest weakness? I've been so kind, I've been thinking about you, and you still don't appreciate it, there's really nothing I can do about you......"
Instead of losing consciousness in the agony, Kosher did his best to restart the Night Veil and get out of the sun's scorching condition before he was completely reduced to ashes.
Roth couldn't help but sneak a peek in the direction of the village at this time.
He didn't respond in advance to this or that after the slash, as Kosie had expected, he stood still and didn't strike again.
Because he saw Kosei's end in advance through Lista's apparition.
In the past that Lista was in, Kosie was also on the way to try to capture Jieli as a hostage, and was hit by Lijielit's dark attribute magic, causing the Night Curtain to fail, of course, the reason for the hit may be different.
It seems that this is the inevitability of this past, the end of history, just like the previous fight between Lista and Lijielit on his side but finally forcibly reconciled, sure enough, this time the [Realm of Delusion] is still a defective product that cannot change the past.
Finding a way to change the past may be the true purpose of the defected pastists, who have finally chosen to change the past rather than insisting on fighting the filth in the present and looking to the future one day when people can take back the world.
But did the true God not try to do this before he finally fell asleep?
Or do they still not admit the failure of the true God, think that everything is actually arranged by the true God, and rationalize everything in their own hearts?
Compared with the Wicken clan who was born, Roth, who was more deeply influenced by the [Gray Man] and Qin and Han cultures, could only smile bitterly in his heart.
So this time, the mastermind behind Castle Black asked the adventurers to repeat this illusion over and over again, could it be just to find a way to change the past?
If this is an experiment, then the realism that Lijielit and Kosher show is beyond the common sense of illusion may be the progress made by the people behind the scenes.
Thinking about this, a wave of curiosity welled up in Roth's heart.
Is it true that this past cannot be changed?
No, it's not that Roth really wants to change the past, but can't he just change the outcome of this illusion?
Like what...... Is it possible to kill Kosher here?
Unconsciously, his purpose was reversed 180 degrees, and he no longer wanted to wait and see how things unfolded, but wanted to take the initiative to change it.
Lista's phantom will always show what happened on his side first, Roth doesn't know the principle, and he is not in a hurry to figure it out, the most important thing now is to use this advantage that only belongs to him!
Under Kosei's jealous eyes, Roth suddenly began to practice his knife technique.
This abnormal behavior also made Lijielit very puzzled, don't you think of cooperating with me to pretend to be a ghost when you have won or lost, why did you go earlier!
Stupid and stunned, if it weren't for the old lady's superb acting skills and skills, could this battle be solved so easily!
Lijliet didn't bother to pay attention to Roth, ignored his "self-amusement", and said to Kosei, "Hey, boy, it's time to give up, right? A thousand years, a thousand years is enough for mankind to build a great empire from scratch, and the noble blood clan can't even think of a way to avoid extermination, right? ”
Koseige struggled to get back to his feet, trying to maintain his pride, "I...... I'll go back and take the punishment I deserve, but Archduchess Lijlit, you can't run away from your fate forever!"
"Well, okay, okay, whatever you want. Lijliet waved her hand to Kosei, "By the way, I asked you two things before I left. You didn't do anything to this village, did you? And what happened when my castle was overrun by demons? When I was sleeping, my house was robbed, and I was thrown into the river, and you don't care, and now you come and tell me to die for you, and you are embarrassed!"
Ko Xie couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Ha, that's right! You actually chose to ask about the safety of this village first than your own castle!"
Lijliet understood what he meant, and sighed, "Well, do you have to make things so troublesome? Why don't you just detain me while I'm asleep, and then I'll be in your hands when I wake up?...... Or did you actually try it? That's why I fell into the water?"
"Embark on your journey home, honorable Grand Duchess, where all questions will be answered!" Kosher bowed to Ligerett, and his body was enveloped in darkness, and when the darkness dissipated, he also lost his form.
Roth, who had been gathering momentum for a long time, used the three internal forces stored in the long knife in one go, and the fierce knife wind tore through the seemingly empty sky!
The feel of the slash made Roth extremely regretful.
Hit, but not dead.
It seems that his own sword swing has aroused Kosei's vigilance, but there is no way, without such preparation in advance, Roth has no confidence to kill him, after all, the perfectly timed counter-surprise attack before can only make a gap in his armor.
Although that blow deliberately avoided Kosei's vital point, it didn't spare any other hand, so Roth didn't feel that he had the ability to kill him with a single blow with all his might in his usual state.
In Lista's apparition, it was Ligeret on his side who was trying to intercept Kosei, because in the past that Lista had experienced, the battle had not been won like this.
After all, Roth doesn't have a real vision of the future, and he can't see through the concealment ability of the Night Veil, so he can only refer to the method of Lijielit on Lista's side to deduce the path of Kosei's escape, and it is not good that he has not completely emptied......
"Forget it, it's just a try. Roth wasn't particularly upset.
Whether he can change the past or not is a question for the man behind the scenes here, what is he worried about here.
For Roth, it would be a great thing to be able to solve the black castle in one fell swoop, but even if it didn't work, it didn't matter.
As long as there is no accident here, he has the confidence to straighten his waist in front of the chasing evil man, saying that he is definitely not a disaster.
...... Thinking about it this way, taking the initiative to find things is actually contrary to his original purpose, but Roth still can't help but want to do something and change something.
Just when Roth was distressed because he couldn't figure out why he did this, a powerful but wonderful slap hit him on the head, making him stumble forward, but he was a little reluctant.
Lijielit patted him with a look of surprise and said, "Lot, you really have a future, I can only barely sense him when I am ready in such a rising sun, you shouldn't be able to find him at all, right, how did you hit him?"
Rot's long knife was damaged during the battle with McTzekin, not only can the handle that could store eight internal forces now only store six knots, but the shock when activating the internal force in the knife has also become larger, and now he is a little out of breath, and he is still being slapped on the head hard, and he really can't reply.
"You can see something, but I can't figure out why you've been peeking in the direction of the village. Neither the second nor the third future view can explain this, but it seems to be the first one? You see the future that is supposed to happen in the village, and because you see it, the real future is skewed, right?"
While adjusting his breathing, Roth felt that it was good to admit it here, anyway, Lista should be able to help him step on the thunder all the time after this, which is equivalent to some kind of future vision.
He looked back at Lijielit, but he couldn't say what he wanted to say.
Because I don't know when, he is no longer on the original mountain road.
The spiral of blood and darkness filled the whole world, the mountains, the villages, and the Jieli were all gone, only the blood and darkness were endlessly tearing and devouring each other, forming one dark red vortex after another.
If you look closely, you will see that the dark colors are a little dirty, like the erosion of filth.
In this space, apart from Roth, there is only one existence left.
Her blood-red eyes were looking at him with interest.
