With the help of the remaining light on the treasure hunting cane, Rhodes' soul quickly floated to the open books.
Rhodes noticed that this book was once placed in Will's arms. After Will's soul left the body, as his body slowly decayed over a long period of time, this book was left in this darkness.
The space has not been discovered by anyone else so far.
Even though several centuries have passed, and even Will's body has decayed into nothing but remains, this book is still intact, and the title page still exudes golden light, containing a sacred aura.
It can survive countless years without being damaged, and the writing on the surface has no traces of blur. This classic naturally attracted Rhodes' attention.
Unable to get any help from other aspects, Rhodes focused his attention on this book. This is also the only thing that can help Rhodes in the current situation.
Thinking of this, Rhodes quickly reached out and tried to pick up the book and read its contents, but his hand passed through the book.
In his soul state, Rhodes cannot touch anything at all. Naturally, he cannot pick up this book. His body will pass through anything.
After realizing this, Rhodes cursed secretly. He had to use the dim light to check the contents of this book bit by bit.
The wind that blew by occasionally turned the pages of the tome for Rhodes. Often, Rhode had to read the contents before he finished reading. When there was no wind, Rhodes had to face the tome for a long time.
on the same page.
With a sigh, Rhodes missed the time when he once had a body.
I don't know how long it took, but Rhodes also roughly understood what was recorded in the classics.
This classic should have been written by the former Will. It records that he went from being a priest in a remote village to being a high-ranking priest in the city of Jericho, the capital of Erathia at that time, and was influenced by the King of Griffin Hearts.
Respectful deeds.
In the classics, in addition to recording the difficulties and doubts Will encountered, more importantly, it also recorded a secret method, which is what attracted Rhodes the most.
According to records in the classics, this secret method is called [Secret Method of Reception]. Priests can use this secret method to send the souls of dying creatures to Cloud City or Hell according to certain criteria.
In normal times, Rhodes would definitely look down on this secret method, but now, this seems to be Rhodes' only way out.
Rhodes has not forgotten that the location he is currently in is still a treasure house in the cloud managed by angels, which is far from safe.
In addition, the soul state is unable to cast space magic, which also traps Rhodes deeply inside the treasure house, with no way out, let alone returning his soul to his body.
Just as Rhodes was reading the contents of the book bit by bit, a heartbreaking roar suddenly came from above his head.
The loud roar spread throughout the space below the Gold Coin Canyon, and the echoes resounded in Rhode's ears over and over again. He could tell that the roar belonged to Will who was waiting above the gully, and he didn't know what happened to him.<
/p>
After thinking for a moment, Rhodes could realize what happened above. Those angels had obviously discovered the anomaly in the treasure house. Will, who was in vampire form in the ravine, was undoubtedly the best target for purification by those angels.
There was no time to hesitate anymore. He looked at the body lying on the ground without any breath, and then checked the system log. Rhodes' heart sank.
…………
"You have learned the skill [Secret Technique of Reception]."
"[Secret Technique of Reception]: Developed by the Stigmata, this secret method is only for human souls. After using it, it will be sent to Cloud City or Hell according to the soul's piety."
…………
In Rhodes' current attribute panel, all the previous values and skills are missing. The only one that lights up is [Secret Technique], and this may also be Rhodes' only choice.
Instead of staying in the treasure house in the cloud and waiting to be discovered by the angels, Rhodes would rather give it a try and leave his body here to let the separated soul find a way to break the sacred curse. Rhodes was not willing to let everything end like this. Taking a deep breath, even in the soul state, these actions could not have any impact on Rhodes, but he still retained his old habits.
Feeling the increasingly intense holy aura above his head, Rhodes no longer hesitated and placed his hands on Soul's forehead. A burst of shining light bloomed in his palms, and he used the secret method of attracting.
Low and sacred words echoed in Rhodes' ears.
"Rod, are you willing to give your heart to God and repent to God devoutly?"
Rhodes was startled and looked around. Except for his own body and the fallen Will, there was no one else around him. The sound had no source at all, but seemed to come from his soul spontaneously.
"Who is pretending?" Rhodes, who was in a spiritual state, asked.
"What a pity..." the deep voice came again.
Suddenly, Rhodes seemed to feel something, and he looked towards the ground below.
At some point, countless dark arms appeared there, and these arms were tightly wrapped around Rhodes' body. This also allowed Rhodes in his soul state to feel actual touch for the first time. He could touch those arms.<
/p>
Looking at those arms, Rhodes did not feel uneasy. What he felt was the breath that made him comfortable. The gray and black mist around the gully seemed to feel the presence of the arms, hovering around Rhodes. p>
The dark arms wrapped around Rhodes more and more, pulling him under the ground little by little.
When there were more and more pitch-black arms, from these arms, Rhodes also felt an aura that was homologous to the surrounding gray-black mist.
If the gray-black mist symbolizes greed, then the jet-black arms symbolize all sins, which naturally also includes greed. Those jet-black arms are more advanced than the surrounding gray-black mist.
"Secret Technique..." Silently reciting the name of this secret technique, Rhodes seemed to realize something, with a look of unwillingness in his eyes.
Looking at the powerful body that was half lying on the ground that once belonged to him, Rhodes' soul reached out to him, but was immediately covered by the dark arms around him.
As the secret method of connection progressed, Rhodes could not escape the restrictions of those dark arms no matter what, and his consciousness became heavier and heavier. The arms became more and more entangled in his soul, and finally completely covered his sight. Rhodes
Plunged into ultimate darkness.
Before his sight dissipated, the last thing Rhode saw was still the powerful body that symbolized power.
"Wait for me...I will definitely come back."
In the boundless darkness, only Rhodes' low words echoed.
