Time goes back to about a day ago. In the middle of the night, in the basement of Daniel's hometown.
Boom! Bart dug into something with his shovel, something hard. The feedback sound from the shovel hitting the hard object echoed in the dark and quiet basement, which was quite harsh.
"This is...?!" The precious light seeped out from the cracks dug in the soil, and Bart couldn't help but exclaimed.
He speeded up the digging, and the treasure light coming from the soil suddenly appeared in front of the young man's eyes. The treasure pit was filled with gems, gold bars, diamonds and pearls. Each of them was a treasure of genuine value, and with just the help of
The dim light of the kerosene lamp reflects the dazzling colorful light.
"This can be considered a... treasure..." Daniel, who was dying, sat on the ground and gasped: "This... was originally prepared to save his mother, but they can't be used... Bart, if I die
If so, just take away all the things buried here. You can go anywhere... live a happy life. Spend as much as you like... whatever you do... it's all your... freedom..."
"I don't want it." His half-brother whispered: "Don't look down on others. Who wants your charity?"
The young Black Iron Knight didn't hear his brother's protest. His hearing was getting worse and worse, and he only murmured in a low voice: "Bart... I'm sorry. All these years... I never knew... you were me."
Brother. At that time, my father brought you to my house... I thought... it was just because of his work... I should have noticed it a long time ago. I should have... treated you better...
If I had known about this earlier...I wouldn't have watched you suffer and did nothing..."
"It may be too late to say this now, but... please forgive me, Bart. May you... live a happy life..."
The world becomes darker and colder.
"So sleepy..." The knight boy was lying on the ground, unable to feel anything around his body: "I have to... take a nap..."
Darkness completely descended and captured him. At that time, Daniel was actually dead.
(Yes, I have died once. But why ------?)
Oops! The illusion changed again, continuing the scene after the death of the Black Iron Knight boy.
I don't know how long it took, but the low sobs of the rag-picking boy came from the dark basement. He was mourning the death of his brother. The place was filled with a dark and miserable atmosphere, and even the brilliant light of the treasure was eclipsed by it.
The young boy who picked up rags leaned on his brother's body and cried, but he was still unwilling to carry his brother out for burial. He was rejecting the fact that his only relative in the world had died.
However------
I don't know when, a woman's figure suddenly walked out of the darkness.
Watching this illusion from a third-person perspective, Daniel recognized this woman at this moment.
Oh, of course he recognized it. No matter who it was, no matter who it was, they would never forget that woman who was wearing a blood-red evening dress and walking in a coquettish and coquettish way.
That woman's name was Morgose Morgose Cornwell.
And this woman had secretly contacted Daniel before, in the morgue of the hospital on the day the Black Iron Knight boy's mother passed away.
"Young man, if the Lun family says that the Lun family has a way to resurrect your relatives, do you believe it?" Morgose, here and now, repeated what she said in the morgue in front of Bart. In the morgue
Similar words were said to Daniel, Morgoth said she could save Daniel's mother.
"Are you...?" The rag-picking boy turned his head and glanced at Morgose, full of doubts.
"He is not completely dead, but the succubus' poison is eating away at him. When the last brain cell in his body is eaten away by the poison, he is probably hopeless." The woman did not intend to introduce herself, but said directly
focus.
She took out a syringe from her arms, which was filled with blood-red liquid. She took off its needle sheath, pressed the hand on the end of the syringe, squeezed out some red liquid from the sharp needle, and then she smiled slyly at Bart.
Said: "This is a drug purified from a special liquid called [Chaos Blood]. If you inject this into his body--"
"Can Daniel's poison be removed?" Bart said eagerly: "Then give him an injection quickly!"
"No, just the opposite. If you inject this into his body, he will become an immortal monster." Morgosi sneered: "He will become something that is not even a [human], an extremely fragile life."
Although he is extremely fragile, he can never die. Even the most deadly poison cannot affect him. But as long as he becomes like that, he will never change back."
As if he realized something, the young man picking up rags frowned and stood up.
"But, this kind of undead monster has a very interesting characteristic. They can produce antidotes. If you inject poison into this kind of undead monster, they will struggle in pain. They will be tortured by the poison, and they will be very painful.
, but they will not really die. In the end, the blood in their bodies will become an antidote. As long as it is purified, it can probably remove any poison in the world."
Morgoth smiled even more weirdly and cunningly: "However, even if such an antidote is developed, it can only be used on the closest relatives of the person who became such a monster. If it is used on people who are not related by blood, then it will
It is no longer an antidote, but a poison."
When the woman said this, the boy who picked up rags frowned: "Do you mean------"
"Yes!" Morgoose laughed excitedly: "The Lun family is going to inject this drug into you, use your body to make an antidote, and save your brother. Everything is ready, all it takes is you
This is just a sacrifice. Do you want to run away? Or do you stand here obediently and let the Lun family turn you into a monster--a monster that can neither survive nor die?"
"You must be kidding me..." Bart took a step back, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
"The Lun family is serious." Morgosi said, "Your brother is a very special being. The Lun family will never want him to die. In order to save him, they can only sacrifice you. But you do not have no choice at all."
Either you submit obediently and let the Lun family turn you into a monster, and then save your brother; or you let the Lun family turn your brother into a monster, create an antidote, and at the same time let you accept your brother's power. The Lun family
It doesn't matter which one of you two brothers becomes a monster, as long as one of you inherits the power.
So, what are you going to do, young man? ------Sacrificing yourself to save your brother? Or sacrificing your brother who is already about to die and receiving all his power?
Make your selection now!"
There was no need to read everything in front of him. Daniel, who was watching this illusion as a third party, already knew the result. The fact was that Bart chose to sacrifice himself to save his brother.
"Ugh...! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh!------"
Bart, who was injected with red potion, struggled in pain, and his body began to swell strangely.
"You are so stupid, young man." Morgose watched all this with cold eyes and laughed sarcastically: "You made such a big sacrifice for that kind of [brother], are you an idiot?"
What did he give you?
He has parents, he has a home, he has everything.
But you have nothing and can only secretly watch his happy life from a distance.
You should have hated him and taken everything that belonged to you from him. But now, what stupid things have you done?"
"Uh-huh, uh-huh...but..." Bart, who was struggling painfully on the ground, replied in a low voice with tears in his eyes: "But I still have him...he is my last...!"
Bang! Before he could finish his words, the boy's whole body exploded. The flesh and blood that made up his body flew out and splashed all over the floor. From then on, there was no rag-picking boy Bart in the world, but instead a ball of sticky meat.
, an immortal monster.
He will forever struggle in the cycle of being unable to survive and unable to seek death. He has obtained [eternal life], but this is an incomparable eternal life.
Morgoth shook her head gently, not feeling any pity for the lump of flesh. She turned around and walked to the dying Daniel, and drew a little blood from the young Black Iron Knight whose body was still cold.
The blood contained the poison of Oscar the Succubus. No one in the world could detoxify this poison. But Morgose injected the poisonous blood into the immortal flesh.
The slimy mass of flesh began to twitch and struggle painfully. The poison tried to kill it, but it was immortal. Under its violent trembling and blood-spattered appearance, destruction and regeneration continued. Since it was immortal,
It is also extremely fragile, and a little damage is enough to "kill" it. It has died tens of thousands of times in just a few minutes, and has also been resurrected tens of thousands of times.
Then, amid infinite death and rebirth, an almost impossible antidote was created.
"Very good." Morgosi extracted some more blood from the meat ball monster. The purification process was very simple, or it seemed very simple under the control of the woman's skilled magic. The antidote was created in an instant.
, and was injected into the body of the Black Iron Knight boy.
"Huh..." Daniel, who should have been completely dead, regained his breath again.
Of course it is impossible for him to know what happened during the time he "died".
"You are so lucky." Morgose looked at the sleeping Daniel and sneered: "That's it for now. I will come back to you."
Then, the woman used a teleportation spell and disappeared.
(Bart...!)
The illusion quickly disintegrated. Daniel finally solved a mystery--if everything he saw in the illusion was true.
After the illusion completely disappeared, the dark storm only lasted a few seconds. Soon, whether it was miasma or black mist, whether it was storm or phantom, they were all sucked away by the lightsaber in Daniel's hand. Bone fragments remained on the ground.
, I don’t know if it can be regarded as the corpse of the Seat of Greed, but Daniel clearly felt that the dark and twisted god no longer existed.
(Bart...wait for me!)
(One day, I will definitely find a way to restore you to your original state.)
Bones were rolling. Only then did Daniel realize that another lightsaber had fallen from the pile of corpses and rolled to his feet. That ordinary lightsaber was the one Daniel originally carried.
Then who owns this evil black lightsaber in his hand? The young man looked at it with a hint of horror. This sight almost scared him to death.
That lightsaber is not only weird, it also has countless disgusting carvings on it, all of which are human faces twisted in pain. I don’t know if it’s because the lightsaber originally looked like this, or if it’s the seat of greed.
After absorbing the power, it became like this?
It is a serious crime for a knight to lose his own sword and he will be severely punished by the knights. Therefore, Daniel did not dare to neglect and leaned over to pick up his lightsaber that fell on the ground.
Cough! However, before he could stand up, he suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood and fell down.
The poison had accumulated so much in his body that he became poisonous.
"Ugh... Bart...!" Before he completely lost consciousness, Daniel took out an oxygen bottle from his backpack and covered his face.
Before he could take a few breaths of oxygen, he lost consciousness.
