Chapter 184 Unstoppable Approach
Seeing the feathered snake entrenched in the depths of the black mist, and seeing the face on top of the opponent's mountainous body, Azik was startled for a moment, and then his forehead twitched, as if someone had slammed a wedge into his temple, and the head part into two halves.
Amidst the severe pain, incoherent images suddenly popped up in his mind:
It looks exactly the same as him, even the subtle features of the feathered snake face;
A silent earth, countless pale corpses;
Floating in the air, clouds made of skulls of different races;
The pitch-black nodular tentacles drilled from the ground, and the dead fish-like eyes on the top of the tentacles;
He was forcibly pulled out of the transparent spirit body of his body.
After these flickering images, a pair of eyes with pale flames that were about to go out looked over, and a white feather stained with pale butter fell down, cutting Azik's transparent spirit body into two parts.
Part of it suddenly flew up and entered the "cloud of skulls", while the remaining part was mixed with a golden ornament that leaped out of thin air, and returned to the flesh and blood body under the burning of the pale flame.
Such a scene was like Thor's sledgehammer, hitting Azik's mind again and again, making him unable to bear the pain any longer. He raised his hand to cover his head, his knees gradually weakened, and he knelt down on the steps like a collapse.
He finally recalled everything, and understood the reason why he kept dying and resurrecting, always losing his memory and finding it again and again:
His soul is not complete!
Similarly, Azik also understood why the Feathered Serpent oppressing the entire space deep in the black mist had the same face as him:
That's him!
That is another "Azik Eggers"!
And all this stems from a hidden attempt before the death of God of Death.
There is "soul stitching", and there is naturally "spiritual division". At that moment, the crazy and powerful god of death seemed to have foreseen his own ending, and he was unwilling to die like that, and quietly divided his children. "Officer" soul, took half of it, and used something as a substitute to sew it together with Azik's spirit.
I don't know whether it is due to the deliberate arrangement of the god of death, or the unintentional influence of the plan of the artificial death god of the spiritual sect, the half of Azik's soul that was taken away and the goal of the artificial death god-the "uniqueness" of this path, are fused into one, so that The latter acquired a certain instinct, and began to actively influence the high-sequence powerhouses of the "Corpse Collector" pathway who failed in promotion.
And the other half, although there is a substitute, is no longer incomplete, but due to the incompleteness of the soul, it can only die and be resurrected again and again, just like the Sequence 4 "undead", and is affected by the "golden ornament" in the body , being called by the other half of the soul, every time Azik starts a new life, he will gradually regain his past memories as time goes by.
In the past, Azik tried to figure out the reason, but due to the natural recovery of most of the memory, it was very close to another death, and it was too late to do any exploration, and the plan of the Spiritual Cult to artificially raise the God of Death was only a few hundred years old. There were only preliminary results not long ago, so I have not been able to find the answer.
Ho, ho, ho!
Azik's hands had left his head at some point, and he was propped on the steps below, and a voice that was not like a human came out of his throat.
Drops of sweat slid off his forehead and hit the slate in front of him, soaking up a layer of light yellow oil, and giving birth to fine white fluff.
At this moment, he felt the cry and desire of the other half of the soul, the two "selves" who had been separated for more than a thousand years couldn't wait to merge into one and return to completeness.
"No..." Azik whispered in pain, not wanting to raise his head and stretch out his right hand.
He saw very clearly just now that the "self" transformed into a feathered snake has no reason at all, and is full of extreme cruelty and madness. If he reunites with the other party, he may immediately return to the original "Death Consul" state. Even become a fake god of death with only divinity and no humanity left!
Then he will forget everything,
Forget about everyone you once held dear.
"No..." Azik uttered another word from his throat, his neck lifted up a little bit uncontrollably, and black and cold scales emerged from it.
The position of his forehead suddenly protruded like life force, split from it, and a bloody gash grew out.
A golden light then emerged from nothingness and took shape in the flesh and blood.
This is an ancient ornament made of gold. It looks like a slender bird, surrounded by wings made of pale flames. Inside the bronze eyes, there are layers of rays of light, forming a mysterious and illusory door. door.
As soon as it appeared, Azik let out a low growl in pain, and raised his head completely. In the vicissitudes of his eyes, two pale flames suddenly ignited.
The illusory yet real feathered snake in the depths of the black mist straightened its body and poked its head out. Two identical but different-sized faces stared at each other silently, and there was silence.
Among the four balls of pale flames jumping, Azik with his hands on the ground twisted his expression and struggled to stand up little by little, and slowly walked towards the feathered snake known as the artificial death god.
As he approached, the entire mausoleum began to vibrate, and the surroundings became transparent, reflecting a world with countless skeletons and shadows.
Bloody arms, green and black vines with baby faces, and greasy tentacles with dead fish eyes or two rows of fangs pierced through the boundary between reality and illusion, and entered the mausoleum. He stuck to the ground tightly again, not daring to move.
…………
East Balam, Gurain City.
Daly Simone, who was rushing to the next target location, suddenly stopped and raised her hand to support her head.
"What's wrong?" Soest, the captain of the "Red Gloves" team, asked suspiciously.
Daly frowned slightly, and replied with a sense of sleepiness:
"I heard a strange voice, and felt a call from nowhere... I even wanted to kneel on the ground..."
"Did you hear that?" Soest asked the other team members carefully.
Just as Leonard Mitchell shook his head, he heard the slightly old voice in his mind say:
"Look in the direction of the violent sea."
Leonard turned his body subconsciously, looked at the port, looked at the violent sea in the distance, and saw that there was pure darkness, no strong wind, no huge waves, no dark clouds, no lightning, no heavy rain, and no sunshine .
…………
Although Klein had his eyes closed, he was so inspired that he could still sense the movement around him. He heard the painful whispers and roars that were suspected to be from Mr. Ards, and felt the real sense of silence and death.
what's going on? Although the "artificial god of death" deep in the mausoleum didn't attack Mr. Azik, it had a bad influence on him? Thoughts flickered in Klein's mind, and he felt anxious and panicked.
His spiritual intuition told him that what was going to happen next was definitely not what he wanted to see!
However, he couldn't think of anything he could do. He didn't even dare to open his eyes to see Mr. Azik's current state and experience.
This is not a problem that can be solved by courage alone. It is a gap at the level of personality, an irreparable gap.
In an instant, Klein felt a strong sense of powerlessness again, but he didn't give up, desperately recalling what he could use:
"Squirming hunger? No, it's not a class thing at all, it won't do anything...
"Death knell? Not to mention...
""Grossel's Travel Notes"? I didn't bring... the 'Dark Emperor' card, the 'Tyrant' card, nor...
"The Luck Stealer Charm... yes, the Luck Stealer Charm!"
Klein was overjoyed, and already had an idea:
That is to use the "Luck Stealer" charm to temporarily switch the fate of himself and Mr. Azik, and replace him to bear the impact of the "Artificial Death"!
At least, I still have the possibility of being resurrected, and Mr. Azik's previous death is not a victim, who knows if I can wake up again under this situation! Klein didn't think about whether the "Luck Stealer" spell could have an effect on Azik and the artificial Death God. He just thought that no matter what, he had to try it. He raised his right hand and stuck it into his pocket.
Then, he hesitated in his actions.
He lifted his arm up a bit, then fell back to its original position.
His whole body froze for a short time, as if he had turned into a statue carved out of stone.
Klein's lips moved a few times, his expression distorted in an inconspicuous manner, and then he swung his right arm violently, pulling his palm out of his pocket.
In the palm of his hand, he tightly held a black crystal card-like spell.
At the same time, Azik was getting closer and closer to the mountain-like illusory feather snake, and his pace was getting faster and faster, as if he was returning to his throne.
However, his eyes under the pale flames were full of pain, and his expression was twisted to the extreme.
"No..." Azik whispered again, white feathers stained with light butter stains grew out of the exposed parts of the body, between the gaps in the pitch-black scales.
The strong shout and longing made him completely unable to control himself, and he was about to soar into the air and leap towards the huge feathered snake with his face on it.
From the bird-shaped ornament on his forehead, pale flames spread violently and flowed to other parts of his body.
Klein's spiritual intuition frenziedly warned, and he quickly uttered an ancient Hermetic word:
"destiny!"
Just as he was about to use the spell, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and there was no more sound.
A slender white female palm appeared out of nowhere and pressed on the bird-shaped gold ornament on Azik's forehead.
A figure was then outlined between Azik and the mountain-like illusory Feathered Serpent, interrupting their approach.
With the help of external forces, Azik finally resisted the desire to become one and the irresistible cry, and the pale flames in his eyes "reflected" the figure floating in the air.
It was a beautiful lady, wearing a classic robe and a black hood, her face was expressionless, her eyes were dark but devoid of spirituality.
