"What did you do to Gray!"

Looking at the fallen Gregory, Cory screamed and rushed towards Angus, but Angus just waved his hand expressionlessly, and Cory was fixed in mid-air and could only stare at Angus in vain.

"Don't worry, this kid is fine. Instead of caring about him, you might as well care about yourself."

Angus shrugged helplessly, but the scars on his face cracked again, which scared Corey immediately and didn't listen to anything he said.

"This damn wound!"

Angus cursed, stopped taking science, and continued to apply potion to the scars.

More than ten minutes later, Gregory finally woke up, but as soon as he looked up, he was stunned: "Cori, why are you..."

Gregory looked up at Corey who was fixed in the air. He couldn't speak for a long time, but Corey showed a surprise expression: "Grey! You finally...hey? My voice..."

Halfway through, Corey stopped, and he found that his voice was no longer as crisp as before, but rather like a broken bellows, hoarse and harsh.

"What the hell is going on!" Looking at Corey in the air, Gregory suddenly turned his head and looked at Angus, "What did you do to Corey!"

"To be precise, I just kept your partner quieter," Angus still had a expressionless face, but the green liquid that slipped along the scar made him look a little scary. "Actually, you should be clear about what happened to your partner."

"How can it be..."

Gregory subconsciously retorted, but as soon as he was halfway through, he was stunned. He just thought a little about "Why did Corey become like this", and a large amount of information emerged in his mind. At the same time, there was a long-clogged memory that was recalled by Gregory...

"Cori, I must be a knight in the future and protect you so that you will not be hurt anymore!"

"Well, Gray, from then on, I will be a mage and stand behind you to fight for you!"

The promises I made when I was young seemed to be whispering far away, but gradually, the sound became clearer and the dark memories also emerged again.

Bloody light.

The young Corey was lying on the ground with a little pain on her face, and blood gradually overflowed from behind him, while the young Gregory pressed Corey's chest with tears on her face. There was a hideous wound, and blood was pouring out.

Next to it, a wildebeest was dying his hooves irritably, and the dong dong sound seemed to be matching drum beats to the vows of the two teenagers.

Finally, Gregory remembered that it was four years ago, one day when they were teenagers, and he and Cory played the game as usual, but when Gregory clumsily climbed onto the back of the wildebeest, the spurs on his shoes stinged the wildebeest, which eventually led to an accident.

It turned out that on that day, Corey was already dead.

Gregory closed his eyes in pain, and Corey, who was put back to the ground by Angus, finally saw his image and sat blankly on the ground, unable to say a word.

His body was still wearing the clothes he had before, but his body became shriveled, and his clothes were hanging loosely on his shoulders, making the wide mage robe look like a shroud; his exposed hands were covered with black and purple corpse spots, and his nails became black and long, which looked disgusting and frightening.

Just as Gregory was in the memory, Corey also remembered the dusty memory. Finally, he understood and looked at Gregory blankly: "So, is this my mission?"

"No, this is just an accident." Angus shook his head gently, "You can live to this day, it is a total accident, or it is Gregory's obsession that makes you live again, but at the cost..."

Speaking of this, Angus stopped, and he felt the scars on his face were about to crack again, but Corey and Gregory, who had come back to his senses, had already understood that the price of resurrection of Corey was part of Gregory's soul!

As a person chosen by the will of the world, Gregory's soul is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and can even be compared with the souls of some kings. At the same time, Gregory's soul also has a trace of the power of the origin of the world. It is this power that allowed Corey, who should have died four years ago, to live as a "living person" for four years again.

It is precisely because of this, Gregory, who lacks this part of his soul, can still live, but after that, Gregory began to become a little stupid - he is very slow to understand things other than Corey, and his ability to understand complex things is even more weak to the point of being outrageous. Even his usual lack of concentration and prone to sleepiness is also caused by the lack of soul.

Fortunately, Gregory's combat talent was not weakened by the lack of soul, but was as engraved in flesh and blood, and even went further, because he relied more on instinct in battle, but instead showed this talent better.

Until today.

Just now, all of Corey's mind was trapped in Angus's illusion, so that his soul was also affected and broke free from the constraints of his body. When Gregory called him, the remaining souls belonging to Corey began to respond to Gregory and separated from the part of Gregory's soul who was only entangled. Finally, when Corey broke free from the illusion, his soul and Gregory's soul were completely separated. When he sensed the residual soul of the body, he naturally chose to return to the body.

So, Cory, who lost Gregory's soul support, became a corpse again, but the mana power he accumulated over the years and the vitality given by the will of the world made him unable to die completely, but instead became like this neither life nor death.

Of course, all three people present understood that Corey's state could not last long. As Corey's power gradually exhausted, he would die in the end.

"Angus, you must have a way to revive him, right?"

Gregory looked at Angus with hope, but Angus shook his head. Even if the scars on his face cracked again, he didn't care. Instead, he showed a sarcastic smile: "Resurrection him? If it was when he died a few years ago, I could save him at will, but it's not that simple now. The price of resurrecting a corpse is not something you can afford now."

"What's the price!"

Gregory asked with red eyes.

The sarcasm at the corner of Angus's mouth became stronger. He watched Gregory wait for a long time before finally making a cold and empty voice.
