In the bottomless abyss, in an indescribable world.
The stars and moon make the night of this world look beautiful. But no matter how beautiful the night is, it can only whitewash the sky, but cannot cover up the desolation of the earth and the dryness of life.
This is a nearly deserted world.
On an abandoned continent, a lonely library stands quietly.
The library is filled with bustling decorations, countless books, ornately carved attics and spiers, as well as story-telling painted windows. The whole thing is filled with a sense of religious solemnity. In addition, the only other building in the library is
The creature was sitting silently at the desk, looking into the void in a daze.
If Angel were here, he would find that its appearance is exactly the same as the statue in the underground hall of the Void Tower.
It is the cruel scholar himself.
The cruel scholar's eyes, which had always been calm, now had a hint of surprise and even a hint of fear.
Its consciousness came to Rasudran for the second time in a short period of time, which the cruel scholar did not expect. The last time it was because someone wanted to destroy the inscription hub, but this time it was because of a person with a very strange soul.
The human said before that everyone who peeked into his soul had an accident. It scoffed at that time, and it wasn't until it actually probed that it realized that what the human said was not wrong.
The cruel scholar recalled the scene he saw after his consciousness came to him, and felt a palpitation in his heart.
It explored the place of human souls, and then it discovered a strange wound. The wound was gurgling with soul power with a power that did not conform to any rules. Although it was small, it was extremely pure.
This method of increasing the quality of the soul out of thin air makes cruel scholars think it is a mysterious thing.
But just when he was about to look through the wound to see what was going on behind him, he felt a terrifying sense of oppression descending on it from far away in time and space.
Before it could even see clearly what was happening, a torrent of information full of negative emotions hit its consciousness.
This impact not only affected the descending consciousness left in Rasudran, but also the cruel scholar's body.
The cruel scholar's consciousness was rushed out of the soul by the torrent of information. At that moment, there was even a sense of joy in his heart.
Because of that horrible sense of oppression, it has never experienced it since its birth.
After feeling the sense of oppression, the Cruel Scholar understood that the existence behind the wound was definitely not comparable to it... In fact, it had seen a person who was called a "miracle" among humans in its arrogance before.
exist.
This kind of "miracle" is also a great person who can overlook it.
But even that "miracle" didn't exert as much pressure on it as the previous one.
There are three levels of miracles, and it only encounters humans at the first level of miracles. Perhaps what stands behind that human apprentice is... the existence of the later levels of miracles!
When I think of this, even if it is it, a look of fear flashes in my eyes.
Who is that human apprentice? Who is the being behind him?
The cruel scholar thought silently. From what the apprentice had thought before, it can be seen that he himself did not seem to understand the mystery of the soul... and the existence behind the soul did not have much influence on the apprentice.
Most of it is just a little bit of soul power flowing through it.
The coexistence between the human apprentice and the terrifying existence behind him made the cruel scholar frightened and at the same time full of curiosity about the human apprentice.
"Both the body and the soul have strange places. I really want to study them." A cruel interest flashed in its eyes.
This kind of interest made him more excited than the human he met before.
…
Angel retreated without leaving a trace.
He didn't know what happened before, but looking at it now, the cruel scholar lowered his head and said nothing, and the pressure and sense of prying eyes on him had disappeared. Now was the best time to leave!
Angel didn't dare to cause any noise and just retreated quietly.
Seeing the door behind him, Angel seemed to have seen freedom waving to him——
"Humanity."
A calm voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
Like a malfunctioning machine, Angel turned his head bit by bit and looked at the statue of the cruel scholar in the center, with embarrassment and regret in his eyes.
Faced with such a powerful existence, Angel did not dare to provoke at all, and waited for its continuation with a respectful expression.
Even if the other party did not use coercion, he would not dare to escape at this time.
"You..." The Cruel Scholar paused, as if he was thinking about his words, and then said after a while: "Are you willing to become my believer?"
Angel was stunned. He had guessed what the other party would say, and even thought about his own tragic end, but he never expected that these words would come out of the cruel scholar's mouth.
The so-called believers are actually the admirers of the devil.
Among humans, many wizards lack personal abilities and will think of going astray. By believing in the devil and gaining the power of the devil, they can achieve their own goals.
In the Deep Alchemy Society that I met in Sky Mechanical City, almost all the senior officials inside were followers of the Lord of the Deep.
This kind of power often comes easily and can achieve the best results in a short period of time. However, the consequences of power are endless. After many people believe in the devil, although they have grown greatly in a short period of time, their potential will be reduced.
Gradually disappear. Moreover, believing in the Demon God is equivalent to selling one's soul. Even after death, the soul will return to the Demon God and there will be no chance of recovery.
To lure people into using immediate benefits to achieve longer-term goals is the devil's method.
Therefore, becoming a believer of the devil is definitely not a good choice.
When Angel heard these words, he subconsciously wanted to refuse. However, he was facing a demon that was countless times more powerful than himself, and Angel was worried that refusing would bring about bad consequences for himself.
"I don't know what is good or bad." A cold snort came from the mouth of the cruel scholar.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Angel was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that although he had just obtained the "shielding" green pattern, he had not activated it yet. Obviously, his
The inner activities were once again explored by the other party.
Angel was a little helpless. He refused the Demon God's request, and his fate was probably about to end.
However, when Angel was surprised, the cruel scholar didn't seem to do anything to punish him. He just looked at Angel with his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
Angel was very uneasy, but he didn't know that the cruel scholar was also hesitant now.
It said before that Angel would become its believer, which was actually a kind of temptation. Any believer of the Demon God will inevitably bear the mark of the Demon God on his body and soul. This is not only for the coming of the Demon God's will, but also for the coming of the Demon God's will.
Draw strength from believers and obtain believers' souls.
After seeing the terrifying existence before, the cruel scholar naturally did not dare to put the devil's mark on this human apprentice. It just wanted to test the bottom line of that existence.
If it leaves a trace of its thoughts with this human apprentice, will it cause a backlash?
——The curiosity about Angel suppressed the inner fear of the cruel scholar.
Angel's inner resistance was expected by the cruel scholar, and he was now waiting for the reaction of the being behind him.
Five minutes had passed, and Angel found that the cruel scholar did not move or speak after saying those words, which made his mood change from uneasy to doubtful.
If the Cruel Scholar really wants to kill him, any method will do.
It has no follow-up action now. Does it mean it doesn't care about its rejection? Or does it have other plans? Or maybe he is overthinking it. The cruel scholar doesn't care about his little apprentice, and its will has left Rasudran.
?
When Angel was thinking this, there was a sudden sound in the center of the hall.
Angel looked up. He originally thought the statue had moved, but it was not the statue that made the noise, but the "Hungry Death" demon that he had always thought was dead.
That weird demon suddenly woke up, half-propped his withered body, looked up to the sky and roared, making a weird guttural sound.
With the emergence of guttural sounds, the entire hall was shaking, gravel fell, dust flew, and several falling stones almost hit him. Angel could only keep moving to avoid it. When he came back to his senses, he found that he
The location is right next to the gate.
You can even see the dim light of the oil lamp outside and the ancient spiraling stairs through the hole in the center of the door.
Angel looked back at the central statue, which was still unmoved.
Angel was overjoyed. The exit passage was right in front of him. He turned around and jumped without hesitation, trying to escape from the hole.
But at this moment, streaks of light appeared in the center of the cave entrance.
When Angel hit the light pattern, it was like hitting rubber. A dent made him bounce back.
After Angel settled down, he looked at the light pattern and immediately recognized it. It was an inscription! Now that the inscription hub of Rasudran has been destroyed, how could there be a intact inscription? The only possibility... Angel
Turn around and look at the statue in the center.
Nowadays, the only one who can make the inscription reappear is the cruel scholar!
When Angel looked over, the cruel scholar still didn't move, but the skinny demon stood up unsteadily.
Its body is tall and tall, and its whole body is covered with loose skin, layered on top of each other, and covered with strange lines. Its head has almost no flesh, leaving only several layers of drooping skin.
It has one eye, one horn, and a bloody mouth full of fangs. The shape is horrifying and weird.
Angel couldn't identify what kind of demon it was, but he could see that the demon's eyes suddenly stared at him, his eyes lit up, drool dripped from the corner of his mouth, he muttered words, and walked towards it with empty steps.
Come……
Its pace is frivolous and looks weak, but its speed is very fast.
In the blink of an eye, it came to Angel and opened its big scarlet mouth full of fangs...
