226 The Devil Sword of Hate - The Birth of Apophis!
tens of thousands of years ago.
The continent of Arad at that time was very large, and it was not just the small area it is today.
The continent of Arad, which is now surrounded by the Gran Forest to the west, the Stru Mountains to the north, the Arnofar Forest to the east, and the sea to the south, was only the southern tip of that continent tens of thousands of years ago.
Tens of thousands of years ago, the continent of Arad had a brilliant civilization and diverse races, which was far from what it is today.
But it also corresponds to the saying, what goes up must come down!
After the prosperous continent of Arad reached its peak, wars broke out frequently and the continent fell into chaos.
At that time, the residents of the mainland, especially the highly civilized humans, were at ease for a long time without fighting, resulting in insufficient combat power and lack of morale, and they were defeated in the war.
On the contrary, the orcs living in the north have a low level of civilization, but their folk customs are fierce and their entire clan is armed with soldiers. They suppress other races including humans, dwarves, and elves.
The war spread across the continent, and the powerful orcs continued to invade the territories of other races. After tasting the benefits of the war, they became even more out of control.
Once, humans and dwarves joined forces to fight the orcs on a plain.
At that time, there were countless war dead, and corpses of different races could be seen everywhere on the battlefield, with broken limbs and bright red blood everywhere.
Coincidentally, there was a strange amethyst crystal underneath the battlefield. When the blood on the ground seeped into the ground, it was absorbed by the amethyst crystal and slowly changed.
Then several more wars broke out in that area, and more blood seeped into the ground and was absorbed by the amethyst.
Finally, Amethyst absorbed enough blood and broke out of the ground. According to its own instinct, it transformed itself into a two-handed giant sword based on the weapons left on the battlefield.
Not long after, a homeless man who came to the battlefield to pick up rags found a gorgeous two-handed sword with purple light. Thinking that he had picked up a treasure left behind by a noble, he picked up the sword and ran away.
Later, the homeless man met an orc bandit on the road. He thought he was dead, so he wanted to hand over the amethyst sword he picked up to see if he could save his life.
But who would have thought that when he held the hilt of the sword with both hands, he immediately felt that the blood in his body seemed to be absorbed by the sword, and his body was suddenly full of power, and he felt strong confidence in his heart, feeling that he was invincible and invincible.
Don't hesitate to swing your sword to fight the orc bandits.
When the tramp woke up again, he was horrified to find that he was not dead. There was nothing wrong with him, but there were many broken corpses of orc bandits on the ground around him.
The homeless man was so frightened that he tried his best to escape home. The amethyst sword he held in his hand was also taken back by him unknowingly.
The war on the continent is still going on. The elves who don't like fighting have retreated again and again, and have hid in the Grand Forest in the southernmost part of the continent. The stubborn dwarves and the tough humans have always persisted in confronting the orcs.
Just when the coalition of humans and dwarves was about to be completely defeated, a hero appeared.
It was a human holding an amethyst sword. As soon as he appeared, he broke into the orc camp alone, killed the orc commander and then escaped unharmed.
Afterwards, the human hero led the remaining troops and took the initiative to attack the orc city, earning himself endless glory with consecutive victories.
With military exploits and fame, high officials and generous salaries are indispensable.
The human hero was first made a duke, then married the princess of the human empire, and even ascended the throne as emperor after the death of the old king.
No one knew that the hero was originally just a poor vagabond who suddenly rose up to dominate the continent because he picked up an amethyst sword.
And he also has a very deeply hidden secret, that is, every time he uses the amethyst sword, he has to drink the blood of a living person. From the beginning of one person to the time when he drinks the blood of hundreds of people, he can't stop it.
satisfy.
Because his precious amethyst sword, although extremely powerful, sucks his blood every time it is used, and he must rely on the blood of others to replenish it.
In the ensuing war, the hero still led the combined forces of humans and dwarves to move forward bravely. Although he wanted to control himself not to use the amethyst sword, he couldn't help but kill with the amethyst sword in the end.
Quartet.
The temptation of power is sometimes more attractive than the temptation of money, and few people can resist it.
Finally, during a war, the hero overused his weapons and was too late to drink blood. As a result, he lacked blood and fell on the battlefield.
After the hero died, his son inherited the amethyst sword and became the second generation of human heroes.
After enjoying the power and glory, young people can easily become intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.
As a result, the hero's son was like a meteor, emitting a burst of destructive light and then quickly perished.
After that, many descendants of heroes inherited the amethyst sword, but they all ended up being sucked out of blood by the sword and died, and the secret of the sword was also exposed to the world.
Some people are afraid and dare not touch the evil vampire sword. But some people are not afraid. In order to gain powerful power, it doesn't matter if you lose a little blood. As long as you don't overuse it, there will be no danger at all.
However, human desire has no limits. After tasting the benefits of power, no one is willing to give up easily.
In the end, no one who used that sword had a happy ending!
From that time on, people called this gorgeous amethyst sword the "Magic Sword". No one was willing to use it anymore. They were all disgusted with this evil sword. The glory created by this sword in the past was also forgotten.
Gradually forget.
Is this sword really evil?
The answer is no!
The sword gives people great power, but in return, it only absorbs some of their blood. This is a fair deal, and no one suffers.
As long as the user has a certain amount of self-control and doesn't use the sword carelessly, nothing will happen.
However, human desire finally defeated reason. Regardless of one's own safety, he overused the sword and in the end attributed all the faults to that sword. It was really unreasonable!
Since no one dared to use the sword again, the combined forces of humans and dwarves finally could not withstand the orcs' attack and retreated to the southernmost part of the continent. They hid in the magic circle set up by the elves.
From then on, the continent was divided into two. The area in the north occupied by the orcs was renamed the Orc Continent; the area in the south protected by the magic circle inherited the name of the Arad Continent because of the vanity of those who fled.
Some shameless people blamed the failure of the war on the innocent amethyst sword, thinking that it was the ominous sword that brought about the war and failure.
As a result, the innocent sword was buried deep underground and heavily sealed, never to be seen again.
No one knows. The sword had self-awareness at the beginning of its birth. After going through wars and winning glory after war, the sword's consciousness grew rapidly and finally had a complete soul.
Originally it was quite happy. It knew that it was just a weapon, but it could bring endless glory to the user. This was the greatest value of its existence.
It was born in blood, and every time it uses its power, it must be nourished by blood. This is its instinct. It is also the price others have to pay for using it.
But those greedy people only want to use it, but don't want to take good care of it.
Although it is a weapon, it also has its own dignity.
It does not seek fame or fortune, it only wants to play its role and help the user defeat the enemy on the battlefield.
However, in the end, no one appreciated it, no one saw its true value. Just because of its blood-sucking instinct, they regarded it as an evil thing, despised it, hated it, and finally abandoned it and sealed it in the darkness.
's underground.
What mistake did it make that it couldn't even get the most basic treatment for a weapon?
It has never made any demands, even if a homeless man uses it, it is willing to pay, and it has brought endless glory to the homeless man.
But why does it end like this?
In the darkness and loneliness underground, it kept thinking and even forced itself to reflect on its unwarranted mistakes.
By recalling various past encounters with humans, it finally figured it out one day.
It turns out that I was not at fault at all. The fault lies with those shameless humans because they don't know how to use themselves and put all the blame on them.
Humans are so shameless and dirty!
After it suddenly woke up, its heart was filled with hatred, hatred for the weapon users and hatred for the entire human race.
It doesn't bother to carry the glory it received in the past, because those glory make it feel disgusting.
Therefore, it became ruthless and forcibly decomposed its heroic soul, abandoning the glory it had gained in the past, even if it fell from the epic level to the artifact level.
The strong hatred caused its broken heroic soul to degenerate into a demon soul, and it gained the ability to control the user in turn.
This is how the magic sword Apophis was born...
After breaking the seal and gaining freedom, the Demon Sword also found several strong humans, forcibly controlled them, and made humans kill each other to satisfy the hatred in its heart.
Therefore, there have been legends about the vampire sword in the continent of Arad since ancient times, which completely ruined the reputation of the magic sword.
Until a few years ago, Demon Sword accidentally discovered the Wailing Cave that was full of resentment. The resentment in it could nourish its demon soul, so it settled down in the Wailing Cave and regarded it as its own territory.
Now when he met Ying Tianyi and faced with the unsolvable Ming Yan, Demon Sword surrendered very wisely and accepted Ying Tianyi as his master.
Originally, if Ying Tianyi were a human, the Demonic Sword might have chosen to endure the humiliation and finally try every means to backfire on its master, even if they both died together.
But Ying Tianyi is not a human being, but a supreme god and the God of Death who maintains the order of the universe. Demon Sword feels that his opportunity has come.
Don’t you humans look down on me? Well, I won’t look down on you! Now I have a master who is the God of Death. As long as I can make meritorious deeds for my master and gain endless glory, who will dare to slander me then! I will
Prove to everyone that my magic sword, Apophis, is definitely the best weapon in the world, and slap those shameless humans with facts!
This is what the Demon Sword is thinking, and it is also the reason why it is shamelessly willing to accept Ying Tianyi as its master.
Since the magic sword has been completely controlled by Ying Tianyi, its thoughts cannot be hidden from its master. This made Ying Tianyi feel a little funny after knowing everything. He really underestimated the self-esteem of this magic sword.
Ying Tianyi held the sword in his left hand and the sword in his right hand, and said to the cool-looking magic sword: "Apophis, I don't have blood for you to suck. You try it. See if you can absorb my dark flames. If you can't.
You have no right to follow me!"
"Ah?" Demon Sword was startled by Ying Tianyi's words. I thought that the gods would not care about such a little blood, which would give it a chance to stand up and clear its name, but who would have expected that the master of the God of Death was even stingy and even
He is reluctant to part with the blood, and only feeds it the dark flames.
"Huh, ignorant boy!" Because they recognized the same owner, Mingyan Sword and Demon Sword seemed to have some spiritual connection. Finding that Demon Sword didn't know the benefits of Ming Yan, Ming Yan Sword immediately taught him a lesson: "Ming Yan is
The strongest flame in the universe, I was forged with the flames of the underworld. If you can absorb the flames of the underworld to temper the sword, your future achievements will never be lower than those of me!"
The stance has changed, and Ming Yan Dao is obviously more polite to Demon Sword. However, this old guy is really good at pretending, saying "old man", as if to establish his status as one generation higher than Demon Sword.
Demon Sword Apophis was not an idiot. He immediately understood the meaning of the Dark Flame Sword and said excitedly: "Great Master, please let me suck the Dark Flame! No matter how difficult it is, I guarantee that I will succeed!"
The danger of a demon soul sucking in the underworld flame is definitely not low. If you are not careful, the demon soul will be wiped out.
The demon sword has just tried the taste of the underworld flames, and it is definitely a terrifying level, but it does not want to give up. It wants to prove to the world that it is not an ominous sword, but a true sword of glory!
"Okay, please bear with it and don't scream in pain!" Ying Tian nodded, controlled the dark flames in his body to separate a strand thinner than a hair, and instilled it into the magic sword.
In an instant, an extremely cold and painful feeling invaded the demon soul's heart, almost causing it to die from the pain.
But it still gritted its teeth and endured it. It knew that Ying Tianyi was already its master, so the Mingyan that belonged to Ying Tianyi should not cause much harm to it. As long as it survived the initial discomfort of the fusion, it would not be able to do anything in the future.
It would be so uncomfortable.
The amethyst-like sword body of the magic sword began to change color obviously after absorbing a trace of the underworld flame, gradually turning towards black.
The purple-black demonic energy emanating from the sword became more and more sinister.
Naturally, Ying Tianyi knew the approximate endurance capacity of the demon sword, so he allocated a little bit of the underworld flame for it to absorb. Otherwise, by slightly increasing the output of the underworld flame and keeping it, the demon soul would be killed in an instant.
Fortunately, the fusion went smoothly. The magic sword absorbed the trace of dark flames without any risk. It felt more exciting than sucking blood. It was so excited that it almost flew up and spun around a few times.
Ying Tian tried it and found that the magic sword with the magic soul could not be stored in the soul item space, but the magic sword was too big to be hung around his waist. It seemed that it could only be placed on his back.
"Hunshang, Apophis, one of you, stick to my back!" Ying Tianyi ordered, throwing away the sword in his hand, and walked towards the three high-level undead.
The Dark Flame Sword and the Demonic Sword were hovering in the air, as if they were considering who should stick to them first.
Don't underestimate this positional ranking. For weapons, whoever is closer to the owner means more attention.
"Brother, it's better for you to invite me first, after all, I'm coming later!" Demon Sword was better at being a human being, so it thought for a moment and gave way politely.
"You can teach me!" The Mingyan Sword was very satisfied. It spun around in the air and leaned against Ying Tianyi's back. The handle of the knife poked out from the side of Ying Tianyi's left shoulder. Since ancient times, left has been followed by right.
The status is higher.
The demon sword followed closely behind, sticking behind Ying Tianyi's right shoulder, and the broad blade suddenly completely blocked the Dark Flame Sword.
"Slippery!" Ying Tian raised his hand and flicked the hilt of the magic sword, and couldn't help but chuckle.
Others may not be able to see through the Demon Sword's thoughts, but Ying Tianyi, the master, knows it all.
First of all, also attached to Ying Tianyi's back, the amethyst-like broad blade of the Demon Sword is more conspicuous. It is located on the outside and blocks the Dark Flame Sword on the inside. Others will definitely pay attention to it first.
Secondly, Ying Tianyi is right-handed, so he must use his right hand first when using weapons, so the magic sword attached to the right side will naturally have more opportunities to appear.
Ming Yan Dao, a veteran who likes to wear ancient costumes, did not notice these details, but the cunning Demon Sword noticed it, so he took the initiative to give in, but secretly took a big advantage.
Ying Tianyi did not break it. On the contrary, he was very satisfied with the demon sword's drive to be first. Only with drive can it exert greater power.
While Ying Tianyi stepped forward to observe the three high-level undead, Nuo Yu got behind him, looked at the swords and swords, and asked curiously: "Can your weapons with souls be able to speak?"
Demon Sword remained silent and gave Ming Yan Sword the chance to answer. This made Ming Yan Sword even more satisfied, and he couldn't help but agree with this sensible little brother.
"Reply Madam!" Ming Yan Dao is not stupid either. He had noticed the relationship between Nuo Yu and Ying Tianyi along the way, and respectfully replied: "An epic weapon with a heroic soul can only carry endless glory and reach the peak of the epic.
Only then can one reveal his consciousness and speak to the outside world. His subordinate happens to be the top epic weapon, so he can speak to others."
"What about it?" Nuo Yu pointed at the cool-looking magic sword and asked.
"Although it is at the level of an artifact, its situation is special and has long been beyond the scope of an artifact. My subordinates don't know how to explain its situation."
Ming Yan Dao thought for a while and said: "The independent consciousness in the artifact has a simple ability to distinguish. As it grows, the consciousness will gradually strengthen, and there is a very small chance of evolving into a heroic soul and becoming an epic weapon. Like me
This shirt on the Lord's body is currently a high-level artifact. If there is a chance,
It can evolve into an epic weapon. And Apophis, this kid, used to be an epic-level weapon. Even if he degenerates into a demon soul and his level drops, his power will not decrease, but will increase. It’s just that this kid is too special, and ordinary people can’t even
It cannot be controlled, only a hero like my lord can control it!"
Ying Tianyi was also listening to the explanation of Ming Yan Dao with his ears pricked up. Originally, he thought that Ming Yan Dao was tied with the magic sword at the level of an artifact. It was probably not a top epic. Who knew that this old boy was really a top epic?
level weapons.
As for the magic sword, in short, it is a freak. Although it is an artifact of divine quality, its power is comparable to that of a top epic, so even the Dark Flame Sword has to recognize its strength.
"Then you two... are both men?" Nuo Yu asked curiously... (To be continued...)
