Chapter 61 Deep Sleep Is a Gift

Chapter 993 Deep sleep is a gift

There are two main reasons why Hugo is approaching his lifespan.

One of them is that his lifespan has already been exhausted.

As if he came from Academy City, he lived in the life support tank of the Zedi Black Tower every day, relying on the holy fire of the Zedi Black Tower to maintain his vitality. When he broke away from it, he still looked like a young man in his twenties... However, this does not mean that his time has stopped at the year when he was in his twenties.

It was because Hugo was in the heart of the Black Tower of the Marsh and deceived the whole world as a "curse material".

When Hugo entered the Black Tower of Zedi, although he retained his sanity and control over the Black Tower of Zedi, his identities at that time were only "the master of the tower" and "the main battery of the Black Tower of Zedi". , instead of being a wizard... because he has lost control of his body.

If Hugo stays inside and doesn't come out, he can even stay in it for a long, long time. Until his sanity is completely blanked by the holy fire... Then, the succession mechanism of Zedi Black Tower will be activated automatically.

However, once Hugo reconnects his body and takes the initiative to leave the sealed state of Zedi Black Tower, he will immediately lose the characteristics of the magic material, and thus break away from this balanced state. His body, which has already entered old age in theory, will begin rapid "compensatory aging".

In addition, Hugo's soul has been burned to the limit, and it has become nothing but an empty shell. Even his sanity has become dull, just like a real old man, his reaction is slow.

Such Hugo would not only be unable to continue his life with the golden soul, but would even accelerate the aging of the body because of the weakening of the soul.

But Hugo died not because his soul was burned out...but because of aging, a slow, powerless death.

He chooses to burn all his soul now and pass all the power to Salvatore, in fact, it is because he can't bear this torture that is infinitely close to death...but still hangs his life and waits for a long time.

In fact, Annan knew that even if Hugo entered the Black Tower of Zedi again, he would no longer be able to extend his lifespan.

It's like an opened can... Even if the lid is put back intact, the food will start to spoil quickly.

The reason why he would put himself back in again was because he couldn't even stand still. Only by saving the spiritual intelligence that manipulates the body, can we use the power of the holy fire to deal with some things in the end.

Otherwise, he might even become incontinent...

Annan didn't want a truly kind person to end up in such a bleak end after spending his whole life serving the world.

There shouldn't be any inevitable death in this world. After all, even fate itself can be changed by Annan.

In Hugo's initiative to sacrifice himself,

When the position of the tower master and all the power are handed over to Salvatore in the grand ceremony...Annan can use the power of [Curse: Light of Light] to resurrect Hugo!

Because this curse does not require "integrity of the soul"... In other words, the resurrection power of this curse is even higher priority than the player's resurrection ability.

The reason why players can be resurrected infinitely is because when they signed the contract with Annan, their souls had already been stored in the Book of Skycart. And the bodies they use, whether they are on the earth or in the misty world, are just the projections of the souls stored in the Book of Skycarts.

It's a bit like the mode of the clone captain.

In other words, the resurrection of the Book of Cranes is not actually a resurrection in the true sense, but to recreate a body for the new projection—from the very beginning, the player is a "player" in the true sense.

The bodies they use are really their game characters.

It's just that they don't know about it...

However, [Curse: Light of All Lights] gave Annan the ability to resurrect in a real sense.

...Just like what Hugo had expected of Bernardino in the past.

He was born with the ability to understand the essence of human beings, and it happened that because of fate, he deviated from his original direction, participated in the experiment of the spirit resonance cauldron without dying, and obtained the vision of the soul - only in this case, can he have " The adaptability of "element of soul".

If you lose your horse, you will know it is not a blessing.

It was precisely because of his ill-fated fate that he was able to awaken the extremely rare soul element. At that time, Bernardino was probably the only Transcendent in this world who could resurrect others at will.

More than 60% of the gods do not have any form of resurrection ability.

And those great ritual masters who can use the resurrection ceremony must also require "the spirit body is 100% complete" and must be stored in the form of soul crystals as soon as they die before they can be resurrected.

Bernardino is the only resurrection master who can directly resurrect regardless of the integrity of the soul.

Although Bernardino did not take this path.

But after killing him, Annan inherited his resurrection power instead... This can probably be regarded as a kind of atonement for Bernardino.

Although Annan is not obliged to atone for him, and his sins have been redeemed but cannot be fully redeemed...but at least for Hugo, this may be a consolation.

Hugo would have been able to enter this nightmare.

Although it cannot be dismantled directly from the outside, and people with too high a level cannot enter...but if Hugo really wants to purify this nightmare, he can definitely find a few students or mentors. It's nothing more than a matter of signing a contract, and it's actually not troublesome.

After all, before entering this nightmare, Hugo would not know that the special nature of this nightmare is "replay". Experience cannot be passed on to others.

The reason why he held this nightmare has been hesitant.

In fact, it was because of his complicated attitude towards Bernardino.

If Hugo really regards Bernardino as an enemy, then of course there is no reason to hesitate.

So the situation is very simple.

Even though Bernardino tried to kill him and really let Hugo down, they can't be friends now...but they were friends once. Hugo couldn't erase this fact, let alone calm his heart, and couldn't treat Bernardino in the most rational way.

Just thinking about it, Salvatore bid farewell to Hugo with tears in his eyes... and Hugo told his students his last entrustment and life warning, and said goodbye resolutely to his students.

Then, amidst Salvatore's subconscious call, Hugo resurrected on the spot with a dazed expression.

...Scenes like that would be fun.

Annan chuckled, and the nightmare finally began to settle.

【Nightmare has been purified】

[Purify the nightmare with the designated identity, and the evaluation will increase]

[Knowing the whole truth, the evaluation has been greatly improved]

[Did not repent of the crime, the rating dropped]

[No apology to Hugo, evaluation down]

[Completed a powerful purification, the evaluation has greatly improved]

[Comprehensive evaluation - B]

[Get 100 Essence]

[Based on the region where the nightmare belongs to, you have obtained the holy light imprint of the silver knight]

Because Annan did not "apologize to Hugo" and "atone for himself" in the nightmare, fully satisfying Bernardino's wish, so the side missions of the nightmare were not all completed.

—but that's exactly what Annan wanted.

"Although I understand you completely, we are still sworn enemies."

Annan whispered: "I don't have the position to apologize for you... let alone think that your sins can be redeemed so easily.

"You were indeed pitiful. But now, you deserve what you deserve.

"You die with this unpaid sin, sinner—"

Annan's cold voice sounded in the void: "Slumber is the greatest gift to you."
