Chapter 207 'The Life Hunter' (Second update, please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket)
Chapter 705 "Life Hunter" (Second update, please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket)
Franca got ahead of Lumian and told the part about the "Dream Festival" related to the "underworld people".
She said excitedly:
“The interaction between the two worlds is closer than I imagined!
"I didn't expect that besides the 'Fountain of the Samaritan Woman', there are similar points of interaction between the two worlds, and they are all related to the illusory river."
Speaking of this, Franka muttered in her heart:
It's a pity that the man who appeared on the fourth floor of the catacombs and is suspected to be from our world has not yet been found... "007", no, why is the efficiency of the "Eternal Sun" church so low? The traitor who cooperated with "April Fool's Day" is still
Didn't find it...
After Franka finished speaking, Lumian briefly added the origin of the black tomb and the situation of the ancient corpse.
"Hela", who was still dressed as a black widow, listened quietly, nodded slightly and said:
"What is clear now is that the illusory river is not equal to the River Styx in the underworld. It should be something of a higher level than the River Styx."
"Yes." Lumian was not surprised at all by "Hela"'s statement, "The black tomb not only reflects the power of the 'Death' pathway, but also the 'Night' and 'Warrior' pathways."
The Styx legends in the current world are all related to death.
Lumian felt that this might involve existences such as the "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun", the "Mother Tree of Desire" and the "Great Mother", which occupied multiple paths and multiple divine thrones.
"Hela" glanced at Franka, was silent for a moment and said:
"If what the 'Armored Shadow' said is correct, the state of Ming Taoist should be wrong. If you want to contact him, you must be very cautious and ensure that you have a way to escape from the corresponding area."
"Armored Shadow" means "sacrifice oneself into the river" to Ming Taoists, which means abandoning one's body or life.
"Understood." Franka sighed, "I plan to consider this matter after I become Sequence 5."
While sighing, she thought smugly:
Recently, the "Happiness" potion has been greatly digested. Even if there is no other opportunity, in two or three months we can prepare for the "Pain Witch" promotion ceremony... Now we have to start collecting the corresponding potion materials...
Can't say it, can't say it, can't tell Lumian, showing off this kind of thing makes me look vulgar and disrespectful to Jenna...
Lumian looked back and forth between "Hela" and Franka twice in confusion.
He felt that Ms. "Hela" seemed to have something or something important to say to Franka, but she didn't say it in the end.
Lumian rarely felt the "preoccupied" state from Ms. "Hela". The look she gave Franka just now and the few seconds of silence made him aware of some hesitation.
It's a pity that Franka is so careless most of the time and doesn't care about details. Otherwise, she might be able to find out something if she asks directly... Lumian's thoughts are racing, and he thinks that since Ms. "Hela" won't tell her now,
There must be her own reason for that, so she suppressed the doubts in her heart, pointed to the front of the dilapidated palace and said:
"I'm going to prepare for the ceremony."
"Okay." Franka replied with interest.
Although she had watched Lumian acquire the power of the "Ascetic", that was in the Fourth Age of Trier, where all kinds of dangers were intertwined, making her trembling with fear. She had to always pay attention to the surrounding situation, and she could not relax like she is now.
appreciate".
Lumian thought for a moment, took out a small metal bottle from the hidden pocket of his vest, and threw it to Franka:
"If I am in a very wrong state later, you can forcefully break the 'spiritual wall' and throw it in front of me or on me."
"Do I need to unscrew the bottle cap?" Franka asked with a smile.
"What do you think?" Lumian raised his eyebrows.
"Of course." Franka said with a smile, "It's just a joke. I want you to relax."
"Thank you!" Lumian turned around and walked to the huge stone chair at the deepest part of the ancient palace.
His intuition told him that there might be some connection between this huge mottled stone chair and Mr. Fool.
This will allow him to better get Mr. Fool's attention for the next ritual.
Seeing Lumian using the stone chair as an altar, placing the corresponding items, and solemnly placing a Loen gold pound in front of the off-white candle representing the god, "Hela" said in a calm tone:
"Don't worry about not being able to respond.
"Those who want to be secretive will naturally be secreted, and those who don't want to be secretive will not be secreted."
Lumian felt relieved, sanctified the ceremonial silver dagger, and created a "spiritual wall".
The voice of Franka and "Hela" talking suddenly became faint, as if coming from far away.
Lumian was not in a hurry to hold the ceremony. He lowered his voice and took the initiative to "provoke" Thermipolos:
"I'm going to extract your power again, what do you think?"
He hoped to anger Thermipolos to a certain extent, so that the other party might reveal hidden problems when responding, allowing him to grasp in advance whether and what the fateful angel was secretly planning.
Early detection, early treatment, early resolution!
The majestic voice of Thermipolos sounded:
"The further you go, the closer you get to the end. This is fate and cannot be changed."
"Is this your self-comfort?" Lumian laughed at Thermipolos' Riddler behavior.
Thermipolos's voice echoed in Lumian's body:
"The gift will bring the recipient closer to the giver. It seems that you are drawing out my power, but in fact it is constantly pushing your destiny towards me, making yourself more and more like me."
"This allows me to see something about your destiny with the help of your eyes.
"You and I are actually the same, we are both bugs trapped in fate. Except for the great beings, all living beings are like this.
"In the near future, you will find:
"Death is the end of everything, madness is the eternal melody."
Saying it means not saying it... Thermipolos is hinting that I will suffer a blow in the near future? Lumian laughed and said:
"Are you saying that on purpose? You want me to gain the power of the 'Life Hunter' with worry and fear, and then die here?
"Don't worry, death and madness can't stop me."
After speaking, without waiting for Thermipolos to respond, Lumian looked at the candlelight and recited in a low voice:
"The power of fate!
“You are the past, the present, and the future;
“You are the cause, the result, and the process;
"..."
As the ceremony progressed, Franka and "Hela" saw that all the items in the altar had changed. The stones softened, the candles swelled, the ground seemed to rot into a swamp, and countless strange insects loomed in the void.
The darkness outside the ruined palace became deeper and deeper. Silver-black liquid flowed out of Lumian's chest, including his entire body, as if he had turned into a contaminated mercury statue.
Lumian rolled over in pain. In the process, his body sometimes twisted, sometimes buckled, and sometimes showed other postures that were contrary to the human body structure. It was as if there were no bones, and the skin and flesh were filled with mercury.
Franca was stunned for a moment when she saw this, feeling an inexplicable phantom pain.
In extreme, familiar pain, Lumian saw Aurore.
Aurore, who has thick blond hair, is trying out "Evocation"!
Lumian stepped forward and stopped Aurore.
Just when he was delighted that the problem had been eliminated from the beginning and that Aurore would no longer be able to split into the evil personality of Roche Louise Sanson, he was shocked to find that Aurore's body had changed drastically, turning into a bloody state.
It swelled into a monster with three heads and six arms sitting cross-legged.
Lumian saw Aurore trying to ask "Hela" for help again. He reluctantly provided help so that his sister would never forget this matter. But when "Hela" came, Aurore had not held the final ceremony yet.
After the ritual, it still turned into a huge monster with three heads and six arms.
Several Auroras at different stages of life appeared in Lumian's sight, and they were about to make various crucial choices.
Lumian eagerly tried to save the fate of these Auroras and prevent them from sliding into the abyss, but he succeeded every time in letting their fate flow to another tributary. The final outcome was that Auroras' body and soul collapsed and became a three-headed and six-armed creature.
monster.
Is this fate? Is this an unchangeable outcome? Lumian's eyes turned red as he became more and more frantic in his futile efforts.
At this moment, he smelled the elegant and sweet smell, and the sound of singing that made him feel peaceful rang in his ears.
Lumian quickly regained his thoughts, regained his sanity, and regained consciousness.
The Auroras in front of him suddenly disappeared, leaving only the candles still burning quietly.
Lumian subconsciously looked back behind him and found that Franka and "Hela" were approaching, and the "spiritual wall" had been broken.
At the same time, Franka saw the two colors of silver and iron black in Lumian's eyes flashing continuously, alternating with each other, and finally merging together, settling into silver and black.
Lumian let out a breath, knowing that he was out of danger and had successfully obtained the power of "Life Hunter".
But he still felt strong depression and loss in his heart.
What he experienced in the hallucination just now seemed to indicate the final outcome of his wish to resurrect Aurore.
It took more than ten or twenty seconds for Lumian to finally break free from such emotions and become firm again.
How can you give up before you really try!
Franca breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, screwed on the bottle cap, and asked with a smile:
"How is it? What new abilities do you have?"
You really don’t regard yourself as an outsider. How can you casually ask others what their newly acquired extraordinary abilities are? Lumian cursed Franka and carefully examined his own changes.
His eyes that had just returned to normal were once again stained with silver and black, reflecting the figures of Franka and "Hela".
He immediately saw the mercury illusory river corresponding to the two ladies, saw the main trunk of the river representing their past and present, sparkling waves, and saw the many tributaries branching off from the present.
The illusory long river slowly moved forward, swallowing up all the tributaries, leaving only one of them, which became the main trunk, and the main trunk continued to branch off into new tributaries...
Lumian discovered that whether it was Franka or "Hela", one of the tributaries had a faint black color.
