"You plan to hunt Him in Mount Honakis?"
Amon obviously knew the whereabouts of Antigonus all along. "Heh, a friendly reminder, no matter how much Zaratul wants to be promoted to Sequence 1, at most he can only let his historical projection go for him. Even if you can keep Him, you can't get what you want. *Hu`Lian/Wen-茓? /Zu`Xin!Zhang!Jie·Geng-Xin*Kuai,"
Edward said: "With the historical projection, isn't it easy to find His true form?"
"Hmm?" He looked puzzled. "Is there any difference? Anyway, His consciousness can be withdrawn from the historical projection at any time. If it is so troublesome, why not go directly to find Zaratul's body?"
"I have my own plans."
Amon rolled his eyes and laughed, "Oh, I think I know."
"Besides, why do you think I should hunt Zaratul?"
"Not for the extraordinary characteristics of the miracle worker?"
Edward grinned and said, "That's right. If I can get the extraordinary characteristics of the Secret Servant that Zaratul took from Antigonus, and then find someone to help me crush it, would I still be worried about not having the extraordinary characteristics of the Miracle Master?"
"Oh, so this is what you were thinking. Congratulations in advance."
Edward looked at Him, poked two fingers into the cage and touched His head: "Congratulations, congratulations."
Amon: "…"
You really treat me as a pet, don't you?
...
After leaving Sephira Castle, Edward lay back on the bed and soon fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took,
He suddenly felt his spirituality move and woke up from his sleep. He found himself sitting on the sofa in the living room, and it was bright outside.
This is obviously a dream created by extraordinary abilities.
At this time, the door was pushed open, and Arianna, the servant of the night, walked in in plain clothes. She was still silent and expressionless, "Zaratul has arrived at Mount Honachis."
Edward was a little surprised. He didn't expect Zaratul to move so quickly.
"What is the situation now?"
"have no idea."
He said: "But with Antigonus' current state, Zaratul should be able to achieve his goal smoothly.
"Then can we go to that foggy town ahead of time and wait there?"
Arianna looked at Edward steadily. Even though he had been a monk with a peaceful state of mind for many years, he couldn't help but feel a little upset at this moment: You are so rude. You dare to use a god so openly?
I am really curious, why would my Lord agree to such an impolite request?
If Edward knew what he was thinking, he would have sneered: Why else? This was a one-sided deal. Tricking Zarat was part of the plan of the Goddess of Night. It was just brought forward a little, and it did not affect his original plan.
But for this I have to travel to the God-forsaken Land, or even the Chaos Sea, and risk my life for Him!
"...yes."
Arianna quickly regained her composure. "But my Lord told me that in His current state, He may not be able to keep His consciousness for a long time. Your time is limited."
"…"
Edward seriously suspected that these were just excuses from the Goddess of Night in order to create difficulties for himself and not let him succeed easily.
Why bother?
"Then I'll have to trouble Ms. Arianna to keep it secret."
"good."
...
In the secret palace on the main peak of Honachis.
After a series of operations, Zaratul's historical projection used the cooperation of the secret doll and the historical projection of Lalai to successfully deceive the crazy Antigonus, creating an opportunity for himself to obtain the coveted mysterious servant extraordinary characteristic - this was what Antigonus had taken away when he teamed up with Mr. Men to kill his father.
Now, after thousands of twists and turns, it has finally returned to his hands.
Now I am just one step away from being promoted to Sequence 1.
The chaotic battle between the Secret Doll Historical Projection and Antigonus was still going on. Zaratul (Historical Projection) was quickly traveling through this huge palace that was like a maze with his Beyonder characteristics. He was glad that if Antigonus had not fallen into madness, he, a Sequence 2, would have been able to fight the Sequence 1 who was taking the same path.
At this time, some light appeared in front of them. That was the exit of the palace. As long as they left here, they could use the historical projection of the traveler to directly travel through the spirit world and leave.
But the closer it got to this point, the more nervous he became, because the "enemy" he had expected had not appeared until now, making it seem as if his previous guesses were all just scaring himself.
It's okay - He comforts himself.
Unless it's a god coming directly, even if it's a Sequence 1, I can deal with it through advance preparation and return to my body with the things.
Just thought of this,
A black figure suddenly appeared at the exit in front. It was neither teleportation nor instant movement. It felt like it had been standing there from beginning to end, quietly waiting for me.
He immediately stretched out his hand and pulled out two historical projections. One was a Sequence 2 Weather Warlock, and the other was a Sequence 2 Duke of Entropy. These were two people who had a very good relationship with Him during the Solomon Dynasty.
The moment the two historical projections appeared, they rushed straight to the black figure, while Zaratul's own historical projection took the opportunity to bypass it and rushed out of the palace gate.
He kept moving, and once again pulled out a historical projection of a spiritual wizard, taking himself into the spiritual world, and then made a wish that the other party would no longer be able to track and predict him.
As his spiritual power and willpower were consumed, he knew that his wish had been successfully fulfilled. He immediately asked the spiritual master to speed up, tear open the space the moment he reached the destination, and was about to return to his body with the extraordinary characteristics of the mysterious servant.
But at the moment he stepped out of the spiritual world, Zaratul suddenly felt that his consciousness was frozen, and then he watched his body disappear bit by bit as if it was erased by an eraser.
The last thing he could do was to try his best to throw the extraordinary characteristics of the mysterious servant towards his main body.
Only then did he use his remaining consciousness to look at the black figure - a woman in a black robe was standing quietly at the exit, her beautiful and dull face, her eyes looking at him lifelessly.
"You, you are…"
The next second, Zaratul's consciousness fell into endless darkness.
...
In the foggy town,
Edward and Crisemena sat quietly in the chapel, while Pales stood by with a sad face: Old man, I only have half my life left and I am asked to risk my life for the rest of my life. It's really... so miserable.
As for the little snake Will, He said that He could only support some good luck remotely and would never step into the territory of the Goddess of Night.
"What will come later is just Zaratul's historical projection, so there is no point in simply killing him."
Edward said quickly: "So what we have to do is to leave Him here and give me time to find the location of His real body."
Crismena nodded: "Yes, I understand."
He then asked, "Can you...really pass through that barrier and enter the deep world to find your mother?"
"Yes!"
Edward gave her a confident smile, "I can do it!"
Chapter 618: Seeing the God Si'a Again
"Arianna has helped us keep it secret, so it will be difficult for Zaratul to detect our presence."
He looked at Pales again. "Master Pales, you will be in charge of causing trouble in a while, and try to steal Zaratul's abilities, even His historical projection, as much as possible."
"I... will try my best."
More than ten minutes later,
The three people who were originally sitting quietly turned their heads to look in one direction at the same time, then looked at each other, and realized that the fish had entered the net.
Zaratul's consciousness gradually returned, and as the endless darkness dissipated, he found himself in a black town filled with fog.
He quickly remembered everything that had just happened, and immediately cancelled the historical projection without hesitation, intending to return to his original body - but failed.
This small town seemed to have cut off the connection between the original body and the historical projection. His mood became increasingly heavy, and his breathing became much more rapid: "The person just now was indeed Him."
But Zaratul couldn't figure out when he had offended that being, and why he came to attack him personally.
But now is not the time to think about these things. The most urgent thing is to figure out where this is and how to leave.
He stretched out his hand and tried to summon two historical projections, protecting them by his side. Then he took out the divination crystal and performed divination on this town.
However, he could not predict anything about this town, nor did he know whether it was dangerous to enter it, let alone how to leave.
However, His spiritual premonition told Him that the way out was probably hidden in that little black church.
Following His thought, the historical projection of the Duke of Entropy, with the blessing of [Utilization], stepped out to the front of the chapel and then pushed the door open and entered.
Almost at the same time, Zaratul felt that the historical projection of the Duke of Entropy had lost contact with himself. He was startled and stretched out his hand to summon a new historical projection again.
But a familiar figure suddenly appeared. She was wearing a black dress that was not stunning, but had a faint smile on her face: "Good afternoon, Zaratul."
"Crismena?!"
How could it be Him!
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Zaratul felt a sharp pain in his chest, his throat felt like it was on fire, and his body felt extremely weak.
This is the witch's disease, even the historical projections are deeply affected.
He immediately stepped back and let the weather wizard's historical projection block him, but he only then realized that the surrounding area was already densely covered with countless almost invisible silk threads, blocking all his retreat routes.
Bang!
Zaratul snapped his fingers, turned into a ball of fire and disappeared, escaping from the range of the net, but the delay just now made him even weaker.
He gasped several times, his chest was like a bellows, he coughed, and his mind quickly became dizzy. Zaratul quickly summoned a demigod from the Jacob family and asked him to directly steal the germs in his body.
The moment he regained consciousness, he did not hesitate to use the power he had accumulated over hundreds of years to make a wish to get out of this dark town.
All of his willpower was consumed in an instant, and Zaratul felt heartbroken but also relieved—this was what He had accumulated specifically for His instant promotion to Sequence 1!
Just then, a word in Hermetic language sounded: "Restart."
The moment the voice fell, complex mercury symbols jumped out from it one after another, and instantly connected into a huge illusory scaleless snake.
The surface of this giant silver snake is covered with dense patterns and symbols that form one interconnected wheel after another, and each wheel has different signs around it.
The next second, the time around Zaratul seemed to flow backwards, and He quickly returned from the state of leaving to the state before He left, still staying in this black town.
Although the little snake was unwilling to participate in the battle directly, he helped Edward record several [Restarts] in order to prevent the situation just now from happening again.
Zaratul's heart sank, and he made a wish to himself once again, but he was horrified to find that the power from the miracle worker had disappeared, and then his spirituality was rapidly weakened, and he also fell from Sequence 2 to Sequence 3, and continued to fall without slowing down. ·l¢o·o′k¨s*w+.!co′m,
Zaratul had a deep impression of this feeling, as he had experienced it the last time he encountered "Amon" in Trier!
So, Amon was the one behind all this?!
Just as this thought came to mind, a child appeared. Ancient gears flashed in His eyes. In His hand, He held a wooden magic wand, which flashed rapidly around Him, leaving a trail of afterimages.
Then all the afterimages waved their wands at the same time: "Flavu!" "Petrification!" "Fall to the ground." "Steal." "Imperius Curse."
In just a moment, dozens of different types of control abilities covered Zaratul. After being hit by the first ability, He fell into a continuous "freeze".
Edward immediately seized the opportunity to do a quick divination, but found that the extraordinary characteristics of the mysterious servant were not here at all. He didn't know whether it was not stolen or sent away by "Him" in some way.
"As expected, things never develop in the smoothest way I wish."
Edward once again used Zaratul's historical projection as a medium for divination: "The location of Zaratul's real body."
A few seconds later,
Edward opened his eyes, looked at Christine and said:
"Help me delay as much as possible!"
Leaving behind a word, He left the misty town as a [destination], and then wandered directly to the island on the misty sea where Zaratul's real body was.
As soon as he landed, he saw an old man wearing a black hooded robe and a beard sitting quietly on a stone. He had his eyes closed and could not sense any breath of life.
This is no wonder. At this time, Zaratul's consciousness is in His historical projection, and only a shell of His body remains.
In the original novel, Zaratul has been in this state for hundreds of years, causing his true self to be on the verge of losing control and going crazy; and the historical projection has also turned into a monster in the foggy town. This is probably the inevitable result of the inversion of consciousness between the fortune teller's true self and the historical projection.
So, if we kill Zaratul's body at this moment, will it cause his complete death and extract the relevant extraordinary characteristics, or will it allow him to be resurrected again under the power of the miracle worker?
But without consciousness, how can He be resurrected? Will He still be just an empty shell when He is resurrected?
"In that case, let's skip these steps and not resurrect you!"
He used [Degeneration] on Zaratul's body again. The moment the opponent fell from Sequence 2, Lightning Storm and Space Tear started with Avada Kedavra at zero frame.
Frankly speaking, Edward and Zaratul really had no grudges against each other, but when you reach a high sequence, most of the promotions are filled with blood and killing, which no one can avoid.
In order to advance to Sequence 2 as quickly as possible and find Lilith, I have no moral burden!
"boom!"
Silver-white lightning bolts fell one after another, mixed with the torn cracks in space, and the light of the killing curse cast a dark green light on the surroundings.
But at this moment, Edward's spirit suddenly sounded an alarm, expressing a strong sense of crisis.
The next second, a giant black hand with a dark and sticky surface that seemed to be flowing with evil liquid appeared in front of Zaratul. A pale skull head quickly grew out of its palm, eyeballs with obvious blood vessels, a tongue with fangs, and all kinds of strange things, which made the feeling of extreme evil and extreme madness spread rapidly.
In just a moment, the ground of the entire island dried up and cracked, and all the creatures on the island became stiff and dead, including all the fish within a few hundred meters around the island, which also died and floated on the sea.
This is an attack from a certain state of the "evil god" Su'a!
Edward hid behind the illusory door at the first moment, and then he suddenly remembered that Zaratul seemed to have cooperated with the Rose School in the original book.
No wonder He dared to leave his real body here.
"Woo!!"
This pitch-black evil arm went straight to block the thunder, space tear and the killing curse. In just a moment, it seemed to have suffered great damage. After a trembling, it quickly shrank back with a sharp roar.
Are you kidding? You think I'm still the future Sequence 5 scumbag? Even if you are a Sequence 1 Archangel, it's impossible for you to take these three abilities unscathed.
Edward immediately stepped out of the illusory door and stretched out his hand to grab Zaratul, wanting to steal his entire body. But at this time, a door covered with mysterious patterns suddenly appeared in front of Zaratul, blocking this theft.
Then a pair of skinny, black hands that looked like they were covered with tree bark stretched out from the door. Edward suddenly felt a stagnation all over his body. He decisively [Unrestrained] this energy that was affecting his body and consciousness, and then grabbed the skinny figure that was stepping out of the door, directly stealing the other party's ability to transform into a resentful soul and his current thoughts.
Then, it transformed into more than ten illusory doors, bypassed the man and went straight to Zaratul.
As a result, he saw a middle-aged man with white hair and beard, who picked up Zaratul's body and flashed out, walking into a crack torn open by someone from the inner world of spirits.
"steal!"
Edward exchanged positions with the other party with a steal. While the demigod was stunned, the ancient gears in his eyes creaked and turned, and in three or two seconds, he fell to Sequence 5. At the same time, the illusory doors that had just appeared turned into Edward's afterimages, and each of them attacked the middle-aged man with Zaratul.
boom!
Just as the middle-aged man was about to transform into a resentful spirit and escape, his body suddenly froze and he lost the ability to think. He was struck by several white lightning bolts, and half of his body turned into charcoal.
An amplified killing curse engulfed the remaining half of his body. At this moment, the spatial tear that Edward had released in advance burst out under him, directly tearing his body and soul into pieces - the dignified demigod of the Rose School was killed on the spot.
At this time, the powerful figure in the gate who had just recovered - the future angel, now only the Curse King Baranca at Sequence 3, silently retracted the half foot he had stepped forward and retreated back to the gate of the spirit world.
Don't fight anymore. If you can't win, run away!
Chapter 619 Difficult
Sequence 3 can indeed crush Sequence 4, but they can't be killed instantly in the blink of an eye. This kind of opponent should be left to Lord Shen Nie to deal with. Anyway, our mission today is just to delay time.
With the death of the demigod, the body of Zaratul, who was taken away by him, was also affected by the thunder and fell straight down. A black hand tore through the space and grabbed him.
The dozen or so figures that Edward conjured up once again launched an all-encompassing attack on the evil gods Siea and Zaratul. At the same time, the illusory book in Edward's eyes flipped, unleashing the natural disaster recorded by Christmanna:
With a loud bang, a meteorite spewing flames fell from the sky and smashed into Suea's hand. He immediately grabbed Zaratul and wanted to retreat back to the spiritual world, but Edward's [Degeneration] ability reversed his movement - although the impact lasted only less than half a second, he eventually loosened his fingers holding Zaratul.
This time of less than half a second was enough for a wanderer to move around the battlefield several times and take Zaratul away.
The next moment,
Sua broke free from the influence of degradation, and the entire ocean was filled with an evil and dangerous atmosphere in an instant. The surrounding space seemed to have been violently shaken and became fragmented. Arms with hard brown bark seeped out from the cracks in the space and grabbed towards Edward at the same time.
boom!
In an instant, the entire island was pierced by dozens or even hundreds of intertwined black arms. It shattered into pieces with a roaring sound and turned into dry rubble that fell to the bottom of the sea.
"Bye, you're in good health!"
But at this time, Edward had already brought Zaratul to the star realm.
In terms of attack power, the 22 paths in the mystery have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is not necessarily possible to distinguish them clearly, but when it comes to escape ability, the gate path is second, and no one dares to claim to be first.
No matter how powerful you are, the evil god Suea, and no matter how much the Mother Tree of Desire is behind you, do you have the ability to chase you to the star realm?
Just as he thought of this, Zaratul, who had his eyes closed, opened them. His eyes quickly changed from the initial confusion to madness and violence. At the same time, Edward felt that his body was quickly losing control.
He immediately roamed away, not giving Zaratul the chance to continue controlling him with the Spirit Thread, and then used multiple [Unruly] to break free from control, expelling the Spirit Bug that Zaratul used to puppeteer him from his body - the Spirit Bug was in his hands.
Then he returned to the star realm with his accumulated power, and was struck by the Avada Kedavra curse with green light.
Although the crazy Zaratul has lost his mind, he still has the instinct to survive.
He stretched out his hand and pulled out a projection of history to block in front of him, then he turned into a ball of fire and jumped behind Edward. With a "pop" sound, he fired air cannons continuously from his mouth.
The Sequence 3 air cannon already had the power of a coastal defense cannon, and the Sequence 2 one was even better! Even the illusory door where Edward was hiding had cracks under the continuous bombardment and was about to break at any time.
Enlarge, [steal].
Edward grabbed Zaratul again, and the Sequence 3 level [Steal] easily completed the theft, stealing His ability to control the spirit thread.
Normally, even if Amon himself came, it would be difficult to steal the spirit thread control ability of Sequence 2 at once. After all, once Zaratul sensed the crisis, he could just exchange positions with the puppet. But at this time, Zaratul might have forgotten the puppet because of his madness, or it is possible that his puppets were lost in the fight with Antigonus.
The "Fortune Teller" who lost his secret doll had his survival ability significantly reduced.
Zaratul obviously also noticed something, and summoned three historical projections from the past in succession. Two of them were the two Sequence 2s from before, and the other was an old man in a black robe who looked somewhat like Zaratul.
As soon as this old man appeared, Edward once again felt the feeling of his spiritual body being controlled, and the speed at which his body lost control was even faster than that of Zaratul.
This old man is most likely the old Zaratul who was once Sequence 1!
At the same time, the other two Sequence 2s also launched attacks simultaneously.
A distorted idea of Edward wandering away, using the air to shoot directly at Edward and then amplifying his own behavior.
One controlled the surrounding weather, causing fog to rise, heavy rain to pour, and thunder to roar - and every attack was blessed with [Fatal Attack].
As for Zaratul's main body, he kept using the air cannon at a long distance - he really had "survival" engraved into his bones, and even in his unconscious and semi-crazy state, he could stay out of it as much as possible.
"Restart."
As his mind was distorted and he was being controlled by the Sequence 1 Spirit Thread, Edward knew that he couldn't rely on his luck with [Unruly]. He could only seize the opportunity when his mind was distorted and decisively use [Restart of Destiny].
The scaleless snake composed of complex mercury symbols reappeared once again. Dense patterns and symbols lit up the interconnected wheels, causing time to flow backwards in this area.
The intrusion of the spiritual line, the distortion of thoughts, the change of weather, and the air cannon all quickly flowed back, and the three historical projections also gradually showed signs of disappearing.
Edward immediately transformed into a dozen illusory doors, which were spread around Zaratul and his historical projection, and then the ancient gears in his eyes began to turn from slow to fast.
The three historical projections froze in their tracks and retreated even faster, lasting only seven or eight seconds before returning to the gap in history again.
Zaratul was about to use the same trick again, but Edward repeatedly stole His current thoughts, and then used the stolen spirit thread control ability to control Zaratul.
In just a moment, Zaratul's body froze. Unfortunately, after actually trying it, Edward found that the stolen ability could only do this, and he could not really create a secret doll - because the fortune teller's secret doll was actually to separate a spiritual worm and let it enter the secret doll through the spiritual thread to complete the secret doll.
Although the three Gou families are all made up of insects, star insects and spirit insects are different after all and cannot achieve the same effect.
Then he cast several killing curses on Zaratul's face, and at the same time, he tried to steal his historical projection ability, but unfortunately he failed this time.
Bang!
A cracking sound that did not exist in reality was heard, and the thread of the spirit controlled by Edward broke.
Zaratul quickly recovered from his stiff state. He took several killing curses in succession, which weakened his breath a lot. He knew that if there were more of these curses, it would really kill people! When another killing curse hit him, he turned into a paper man and disappeared. Then he turned into flames and fled into the distance without hesitation.
It's a pity that even if he used the fire jump to the limit, it was still not as good as Edward's "one-step" roaming.
However, this gave Him the opportunity to summon the historical projections again. Two Sequence 2 and one Sequence 1 historical projections surrounded Zaratul, but they did not even plan to take the initiative to attack. They just protected Zaratul as they continued to escape.
As soon as Edward appeared, he was guaranteed to be attacked by a series of thunder and crackling attacks, as if he would be killed in seconds. Edward tried to fight back many times, but was blocked by the historical projection in a suicidal manner.
For a moment, Edward began to doubt whether Zaratul's consciousness had returned - a body that had lost its mind and greatly weakened its combat power was so difficult to deal with. If it was Zaratul in his full state with a puppet, how could I hit him with my head? !
If we fail to take him down this time, it will probably be impossible to obtain the extraordinary characteristics of the miracle worker from Zaratul!
As soon as this thought came to Edward's mind, he suddenly had an idea. He once again blocked Zaratul's way and said loudly with a loud voice spell: "Zaratul, I only want the extra Miracle Master Beyonder characteristic in your hand. If you can give it to me, I will turn around and leave immediately."
His answer was a series of attacks.
Edward retreated into the illusory door, and then changed positions repeatedly, leaving behind a series of phantoms, and said: "Zaratul, maintaining three historical projections at the same time, your spiritual energy must be consumed very quickly, right? When your spiritual energy is completely consumed and you can no longer summon Them, how do you plan to resist?"
"I repeat, all I want is the extra extraordinary characteristic in your hand."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
