Salvatore felt that his mind was completely blank, and he was not even sure whether he was in a nightmare or not.
...Otherwise, how could the scene in front of me be so weird?
Hugo had just died before his eyes, and even his ashes were turned into a diamond ring.
I forced myself to hold on to the inexplicable feeling of grievance I felt when the elder left. I made up my mind to shoulder Hugo's guilt, vowed to practice Hugo's path, and even couldn't help crying in front of Annan.
In the end, it was Salvatore's remaining sense that told him... Annan should be the one he protected. As an adult in his thirties, he should not worry Annan, who was less than half his age.
So Salvatore finally became strong.
It was at that moment that he realized that he had finally grown up. In other words, it was finally time for him to grow up.
It was only then that he finally shouldered a "responsibility" that could not be ignored, shirked, or escaped.
——And he wiped his tears, and when he turned around, he found that Hugo was alive again.
"...Did you guys discuss this?"
Salvatore was silent for a long time and complained angrily: "Is this just to make me laugh? Do you want to see me cry? What kind of prank is this...Did you record it?"
"I actually recorded it."
Annan said seriously.
"Go to hell! You don't have a share in what I prepared for you! I won't give it to you even if I sell it!"
Salvatore squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, and roared feebly with a headache on his face: "I was really sad just now! Don't lie to my feelings, I really believed it and cried.
You bastard!"
"——Huh? What stupid things are you talking about?"
And "Vatore", who had transformed into a human-like posture, unceremoniously stretched out his hand and grabbed Salvatore's right cheek, pulling it outwards forcefully: "This is not you.
Are you stupid, you idiot? How can you blame others for being smart when you are so stupid?
"Use your brain - you are going to become the master of the tower, so don't give me any willful complaints here! Since I have become like this, it means that the ceremony has indeed been successful."
As a shadow, "Vatore" has lost its shadow, lost its outer shell as a demon, and now has the appearance of a girl.
The biggest difference is that her hands have become human hands instead of devil's claws. And the horniness on her body has become delicate skin... Although the color of the skin is closer to gray-white,
It looks a bit like a stone statue.
And her hair also turned into a tentacle-like structure composed of shadows. It even reminded Annan of the things under Kafeni's skirt...
Except for a few demonic traces, she is almost the same as a naked girl. However, her chest only has fat but no bulge, her smooth abdomen has no navel, and her ears only have cochlea but no ear canal.
Rather than being a human or a demon, it is more like some kind of demonic statue that "imitates human form".
In other words, it's a bit like a sin-eating spirit...
If it passes the review, there should be a picture here.jpg
In terms of Annan's aesthetics, Senior Vatore has obviously become more beautiful.
But obviously, Senior Sister Vatore is not very satisfied with her new form.
Because she doesn't look powerful or arrogant now. She looks more like "some kind of summon of Salvatore" than "a demon parasitic on Salvatore's body"...
"As soon as I entered the door, I realized that this was a ceremonial ground, but you just stood there stupidly? Where did your vigilance go? If you say you feel at ease after entering the Black Tower of Zedi, the lesson of the Spirit-bearing Monk is
No more? You are not even the master of the tower, why do you have such strong self-confidence? Ah?
"This time, the teacher is using the Secret of Creation to perform a ritual. What if it is used to burn you? What can you do to withstand this attack? The teacher did not use any high-speed incantation skills and just finished reciting it calmly.
You didn't even react to the whole sentence. You deserved to be killed!
"You are still here complaining about Annan. Can't you see that the teacher was resurrected by Annan? This was obviously not in the original plan... Why are you so stupid? You still haven't thanked me, idiot!"
Senior Sister Vatore complained softly.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, so she slapped the back of Salvatore's head hard, making a crisp sound like slapping a watermelon. It seemed that it felt so good, so she couldn't help but slap it several times in a row.
.
But compared to the previous sense of aggression and threat in the demonic form, this seems more like flirting, without any majesty at all...
Then the senior sister became even more angry.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting..."
Salvatore became aggrieved: "Obviously I was cheated, why did I still get beaten..."
Looking at the pitiful Salvatore squatting down with his head in his arms, Hugo sighed: "I don't want to lie to you, I did die just now..."
"To be precise...he is dead, but not completely dead."
Annan added with a smile: "As I said before, I gained the ability to resurrect."
"...I underestimated you, Your Majesty Annan."
Hugo breathed out and closed his eyes with a complicated expression: "I didn't expect that even when my own soul was completely burned out... you could still save me."
"All this is determined by fate, Sir Hugo."
The smile on Annan's face faded slightly and he looked at Hugo: "Do you still remember whose nightmare made me advance?"
Hugo was startled.
He suddenly realized: "So that's it..."
A long, long time ago, the reason why he saved Bernardino from being chased by the Tower of Black Glory... was because at that time, Hugo felt that his life should not be spent in such a muddle.
He has outstanding talents and can become an unparalleled healer. Because of that experiment, Bernardino has a talent that ordinary humans cannot naturally possess - not the perception of the soul, but the ability to directly contact the spirit body with vision.
.
Just like transforming a wizard, it is impossible to transform a spirit body.
High-level transcendent beings can sense spirits of a lower level than themselves...but even if the person staying there is not a spirit body, but a living person, they can still sense it.
But Bernardino's talent allowed him to directly see the vision of gold-level spirits when he was at the bronze level.
Although his body is still in the material world, he is actually part of the spiritual body.
This is something that all soul-stealing wizards cannot do - they try their best, but they can only keep approaching in this direction. But for Bernardino, this new talent that sacrificed his vision has always been
Passively effective.
Just like Isaac said.
When the "white-robed women" advance to the gold level, they will also have the ability to resurrect.
Even if there is no corpse... after the corpse is crushed into mud and burned into ashes, they can directly resurrect them. Of course, this kind of resurrection still cannot repair the soul.
But as long as the woman in white robe exists on the field and expands her domain, when everyone dies, their souls will automatically enter her domain and be stored by her.
She can resurrect anyone at will to a designated location beside her. She can also take away the dead and wait until they are resurrected in a safe place - in addition to being able to resurrect friendly troops, she can also use this method to capture the enemy's soul and counter the opponent's attack.
means of resurrection.
However, even a "loving mother" must be resurrected with a complete soul.
The spells of the Idol School and the Plastic School cannot have an effect on the soul; only the spells of the Soul-stealing school can have an effect on the soul. And if Bernardino becomes a gold-level healer, because of his special vision, his resurrection
Abilities are effective on the soul.
This was the reason why Hugo was optimistic about him in the first place.
...Although in the end, Bernardino did not take this path and even became an unforgivable sinner.
But Annan gained the same ability from his nightmare...
After going in a big circle, I finally came back to where I was.
