Now is not the time to reason with the cat, Shade said to the aggrieved cat, reached out and grabbed the ring from the cat's mouth, took the cat out of the box and let Tifa hold it.
He placed the [God's Gift Box] at his feet. The box seemed to respond to the light of the scale in Iluna's hand, preventing the pus that had covered the entire open space and spread towards the crystallized forest from infecting the three of them.
"Meow~"
Mia huddled in the arms of the soft Tifa and looked at Shad with her big eyes. This cat had a very weak golden shimmer, like the sun, but also like the afterglow of the divinity on Shad's body at this time.
"I think your ring is here."
Shade showed off the [Fish Training Ring] and then put it on his finger. In this way, both of his hands were wearing two rings, which looked more symmetrical. Just now, when Darkness' right hand landed on the ground
, the black shadow that rushed out of the [God’s Gift Box] was obviously Mia. It was Mia who snatched the ring from the severed hand. This cat likes the [Metamorphosis Ring], so it is possible that it also likes the [Fish Training Ring]
].
"You damn thief!"
A curse-like voice came from Darkness's mouth, but it was not Darkness's own voice. It was clearly the devil speaking in the language of the devil. Amidst the gurgling sound, Shade opened his mouth slightly to express surprise:
"Without the ring, you can actually use his mouth to speak? You really want to take over Darkness' body!"
In this completely dark area, the three people illuminated by golden light leaned together. The light of the scale in Iluna's hand barely allowed them to see Darkness.
"Ivan Darkness, answer me, who is I talking to now?"
Shade asked.
"You want to snatch my body?"
The sound coming from Darkness's mouth this time was indeed his own.
"Yes."
The devil's language came out of Darkness's mouth again, but the man who had become the second chosen one was not worried at all and maintained his human pus form and smiled:
"You were hit head-on by the terrible potion just now, and you suffered so many attacks from the thirteen-ring warlock on my behalf. You even gave me all the power you absorbed from the darkness to complete the ritual. How much power do you still have now? I have already
After becoming the Chosen One, I have mastered that huge amount of knowledge and power that you can't even imagine. Do you think I haven't been guarding against you?"
In the right eye covered with human pus, scarlet light spots flickered, and Darkness continued to talk to himself. It was probably a similar scene for the ring magicians themselves to communicate with themselves.
The devil spoke with Darkness' mouth:
"The moment the chosen one's ceremony was completed, you were affected by the power of [Balance]. Are you really okay? If I hadn't been helping, you seemed to have temporarily lost the power of the middle ring. The only one who could kill the chosen one was
Chosen One, there is another Chosen One standing across from you, but I am not affected by her terrifying balance.
Do you believe in the gravity of fate? My dear Ivan, you must be careful. The human next to her seems to be hiding a more terrifying power. You still need my help now."
It seems very strange to use Darkness's mouth to make seductive sounds.
Darkness's back seemed to have been embedded in the giant crystal pillar. His height and shape continued to increase, and at the same time, more and more black pus poured out from the right half of his body.
But Shade is still waiting. As Darkness becomes stronger, he is also gradually grasping the touch in the darkness. Enough spirit is enough for him to perform thaumaturgy across levels. It seems that this time it is not necessary.
Every drop of divinity is wasted.
"what do you want?"
Darkness asked softly, looking at Shade with both his normal eyes and the covered right eye, but these words were obviously not meant for him.
The devil finally revealed his purpose:
"Help you swallow the power of [Dark Realm], allowing you to cross levels from the sixth ring to a high level. In return, share your power with me. I will have 6 hours of your time every day in the next 24 hours.
, take complete control of your body.”
"Then, you will continue to extend this time with repeated requests until you completely occupy my body?"
Darkness smiled.
"You have no choice. Can you escape now without my help? Opposite you is the chosen one who awakened earlier than you, a woman with the power of a witch, and a guy who doesn't know whether he is human or not."
Shade felt insulted.
The devil's language whispered:
"You need me, don't you?"
Shade translated the devil's words to his companions. Tifa shook her head to express her incomprehension about Darkness, while Iluna looked angrily at Ivan Darkness who was gradually disappearing from the edge of the light:
"We all inherited the power of the ancient gods and shoulder that responsibility. Do you really want to share your power with the devil, taint the pure darkness, and taint your own identity?"
"Look, they're stopping me from helping you. They're all afraid of me."
The devilish language in Darkness's mouth continued to murmur, and Shade also translated it very considerately.
In fact, the transformed spirit after swallowing the darkness is enough for Shade to incompletely open the [Little Match Girl] Mystery Lock. Even if he cannot defeat the current Darkness, it is enough for him to escape with his companions.
Because Darkness would never have the time to waste time with him here.
But Miss Carina was still here, and Shade couldn't leave her behind. What's more, if he left at this time, he had a hunch that the church would never be able to keep Darkness behind.
We still don’t know what is going on outside, and whether Hermons the Bloodweeper has other arrangements. But Shade doesn’t want to always worry about there being a powerful enemy in the distance that needs to be dealt with, and he will always be ready when he encounters any danger.
Worried that his enemy will appear again, he can only be truly eliminated after worrying about him for more than ten years.
Therefore, he did not choose to open the mysterious lock [Little Match Girl] to escape, but wanted to try another possibility.
"How about we try another method."
The golden luster of the scales held by Iluna is being compressed, and Darkness is completely hidden in the dark realm. However, the scarlet light shining in the right eye covered with human pus is still there.
Before he entered the darkness, Shade clearly saw a strange, slime-like thing lying on his back, whispering softly in his ear.
Shade seemed to understand what was going to happen next. Only this was the most reasonable:
"I see, this is what the devil wants."
Thin whispers lingered in everyone's ears. The rich darkness and the human pus flowing on the ground seemed to turn this place into an abyss. Iluna was already a little unsteady, and Tifa hurriedly supported her. She was originally
The cat Tifa was holding took advantage of this opportunity and jumped onto the shoulder of the girl with long brown hair. It lowered its head and looked curiously at the golden scale she was holding.
The light of the ancient god's power shines in the cat's curious and innocent eyes.
"It's about to end."
Shade, with the afterglow of divinity shining on his body, said softly, getting ready to roll the dice.
The voice of the human pus demon came from the darkness, and that voice used another, more ancient language. The power of this language seemed to be able to directly corrupt any strong soul in this world:
"How about, my Ivan, let me be your 'other me'."
Iluna and Tifa looked at the scarlet light representing Darkness's right eye in surprise at the same time, and amidst the sound of gurgling black pus, they both heard Darkness's answer:
"Why should I promise you?"
"If you want to walk alone in the darkness, why not let me be your shadow, forever, my dear Ivan, always with you. This is all for a greater power."
There was only the sound of gurgling pus around them. After a few seconds of silence, the three of them heard the answer given by the chosen one:
"You are me"
This was a sentence spoken in the common language of Delarion. Iluna sighed, knowing that the most terrible thing was about to happen.
"I am you."
The ancient demon language spoke this sentence, the scarlet light went out, and everything fell into silence.
After that terrifying second when the whole world was silent, with the sound of wind tearing the eardrums, wild laughter came from the front again. Not from the front, but from all directions, scarlet light spots representing the devil came from all directions, and the devil's whisper
, surrounded by terrifying roars and a fear completely indescribable in human language.
"Silver Moon!"
Raising his right hand high, Shade drank loudly. Because he was protected by Iluna's power of balance at this moment, the light finally penetrated the darkness.
All three of them saw that there was only light left in the hemispherical area where they were standing under the tree. The surrounding dark crystal stones stood tall. From the pus on the ground, from the dark air, and from the darkness above their heads, countless terrifying figures appeared.
Things are taking shape.
The combination of modern humans and ancient demons creates an even more terrifying phenomenon.
Thousands of demons, using the power of the [Dark Realm] as a breeding ground, are coming to the present from the slit between history and the past through the power of the fusion of the chosen ones of [Darkness] and the demons of human pus.
The silver moon on Shade's fingertips and the light on the scale in Iluna's hand were shrinking inwards, but Darkness seemed to be everywhere.
He has now transformed into thousands of demons.
"Without restrictions and awe, the wanton abuse of the Chosen One's talent turned out to have such terrible consequences. He actually communicated with history and used human pus to shape the demons of the past. It seems that we still underestimated the power of Iluna.
, if the chosen ones have no bottom line and no longer intend to be human, they can be so terrifying, so the fortune tellers will do their best to find them."
Shade said softly.
He stood in front of the two girls:
"Don't worry, leave everything to me."
The demons around them, in the sky and even under the ground, stretched out their hands, or hand-like organs, towards them at the same time. The darkness extended, and the light had been compressed into a small circular area around their feet, and even the moonlight on their fingertips could not be seen.
About to go out.
But the scars on Shade's body were not affected at all. The demons were afraid of the light and did not dare to touch them.
He looked up at everything around him:
"Darkness, you were finally swallowed by darkness."
[Twenty-sided dice of fate] When thrown, it will immediately lead to good or bad luck, and the person who throws the dice will definitely know it later. Although the good luck determined by the dice cannot be specified, in the face of
In the case of life-threatening situations, the result of the dice will have a greater probability of affecting the situation around you, ensuring that the person who throws the dice knows exactly what the dice affects before he dies.
That's why Shade chose to save the 20-point chance until now.
Before throwing the dice, Shade squinted at the cat on Iluna's shoulder. At this time, both Iluna and Tifa had almost turned black, but the frightened and trembling cat was still completely normal.
.Not only that, when the surrounding light is extinguished, the faint shimmer on the cat is very conspicuous:
"I knew that after the second night of divine descent, I was definitely not the one who restored you from a doll."
Shade thought in his mind as the [Twenty-sided Dice of Destiny] in his hand was thrown into the sky:
