Chapter 1031 "Miraculous" Resurrection

Seeing Klein, who was exuding cold air, stop his heartbeat and breathing, and his body collapsed in his arms, Angel's heart felt a little stinging even though he knew that he would be resurrected in a short time. Especially since all of this was actually caused by her own hands.

Gently placing Klein, whose face was bloodless and whose body was gradually becoming cold and stiff, on the ground, Angel used the power of frost to further lower the temperature of his body, almost reaching the level of "freezing", then picked up the fallen lantern beside him and returned it. In the basement of the mill.

Compared to the first time she came here more than half a year ago, the bloody smell here has completely dissipated, replaced by a rancid smell due to lack of ventilation. A few rats were swimming in the metal pipes connecting the basement and the mill above, but in As they approached the basement, they turned into gray stones, completely blocking these passages.

After cleaning them, Angel stretched out the hand without the lamp and watched as his dark red blood seeped out from his smooth palm and turned into fine, gem-like particles, heading in different directions of the basement. Floating away, falling to the ground, forming complex runes and graphics.

As the blood of these real mythical creatures left the body, even if Angel deliberately restrained his power, the mossy stone walls around the basement became gray and hard due to the leaked power, and the dark green moss died one after another and became the stone walls. part of.

This is the angel of Sequence 2. Even a drop of blood is imbued with divinity, which will cause devastating damage to the surroundings... Looking at the impact of these few drops of blood, Angel sighed secretly, and the complete rune was about to be drawn. When he stopped, he returned to the ground and took Klein to the basement, placing him in the center of the rune array, the same position where he would stand later.

Angel was also a little unsure about whether the lifeless body could be brought to the other side through the location where the power of the "City of Disaster" was leaked. The only example she had at hand was to "travel" to Trier through the altar in Bansi Port. The experience of the catacombs, the body of Bishop Miller of the Church of the Storms, whom she killed at that time, also followed her to Trier, and was then left in the tomb by her.

At least the "Man in the Mirror" who knows better than me thinks this method is feasible... She muttered, squeezed out a drop of blood, carefully avoided Klein's body, and completed the runes on the ground.

As her spirituality escaped, surrounding the entire basement space, the blood stains on the ground lit up with a blood-red luster as if being ignited, illuminating the pitch-black space in an extremely strange way.

Then, one person and one "corpse" disappeared without a trace in the sudden light.

——Above

the gray fog, Klein opened his eyes.

He could still feel the coldness in his chest, the stiffness of his limbs, and the fatigue of his consciousness at low temperatures, but these illusory perceptions disappeared immediately, leaving only deep doubts.

"I was actually reborn on the 'Origin Castle'?"

He touched his body and looked around. It took him a while to confirm that he was now in a spiritual state, just like every time he held a Tarot meeting, or He walked four steps backwards, letting his spirit body rise into the gray mist.

Klein had always thought that this "death" would be like being killed by Ince Zangwill in Tingen City, where he would be resurrected directly from the body after a brief loss of consciousness, but this time it was obviously different. Gained more "initiative".

"Is it because after I was promoted to Demigod, my connection with the source of 'Origin Castle' has been further deepened, so the process of 'spiritual body transfer' that I couldn't feel before can be clearly felt this time?"

He murmured to himself As he spoke, he looked around and clicked on a crimson star that was radiating light. His eyes immediately shifted to the position of this "believer".

Before the action began, Klein recited his honorary name, allowing "The Fool" to establish a religious connection with him to avoid accidents. When his spirit body was resurrected but his body was missing, he could rely on the light of prayer. I found a clue, but I didn't expect that it would be used in another form now.

Under his condescending gaze, Angel was moving his pale face and frozen body into the basement, preparing to "time travel".

It feels so weird to see your own body with your own eyes. This is different from the ritual of "calling yourself". The latter is just stiff but still alive, but now it is completely dead... Klein has something He watched with emotion as Angel carefully placed the corpse in the center of the temporary altar, and suddenly realized that he could be "resurrected" at any time.

As long as his consciousness is willing, the spirit body can return to his body at any time, and some kind of power will obtain his state of being alive in the past from the fog of history, graft it onto the completely dead body, and let him complete "resurrection".

This is the power of "miracles".

Miracle...Miracle Master?

Klein instantly understood that, including the time when he possessed "Cline Moretti" after traveling through time and resurrected the body that committed suicide with a gun, the two resurrections after death were manifestations of the power of "miracles." And this power comes from the "Miracle Master" in Sequence 2, which he borrowed in advance.

"According to my previous speculation, there are four opportunities for such resurrection, and this is already the third time... Does this mean that 'miracles' are also limited?

"Wait until I am promoted to a real 'miracle master ' ', will these resurrection numbers further recover, or remain at their current status? If it's the latter, that's a shame. Other miracle masters can be resurrected four times, but I only have one left...

"Of course, compared to those mid-to-low-sequence 'diviners' who have no chance of resurrection after death. "I'm so lucky."

Thinking of the tuxedo clown who died in front of him in Tingen City, and the Rosago who died under his and Miss Sharon's counterattack, Klein couldn't help but curl his lips and feel sorry for himself. Shame on the greedy and insufficient.

And this made him discover that the advance advance of the resurrection of the "Miracle Master" was obviously not the power of the path itself, but most likely came from the authority of the "Origin Castle", otherwise other diviners must have shown similar power. What's more, the first resurrection in the true sense was on the night of the blood moon when he had not yet joined the "Nighthawks" and was still an ordinary person. Even if the "divineer" could advance a miracle, it would not be his turn. If he finally Did you choose the "Secret Peeper" or "Sleepless One" path?

"This is what I'm most worried about. It seems like my own choices are actually predestined..."

Thinking of the "Fool" card I drew when I passed by the circus divination house on the day of "travel", I thought of myself in The self-proclaimed Fool above the gray fog, and thinking of the Roselle diary he had seen before deciding on the path to the potion, Klein felt as if fate had already drawn a path for him that seemed smooth but was actually extremely dangerous.

"All the gifts of fate have already been marked with a secret price, just like now I can only go to the land abandoned by the gods and become a 'Miracle Master' to return these opportunities for resurrection..."

He complained silently, looking at his body. It disappeared in a burst of dark red light, and then reappeared in another basement with an obviously different style.

Based on the surrounding environment, he could determine that "he" had arrived at the place abandoned by God.

Also appearing with him was Angel, who was holding a lantern. The latter looked around, his eyes resting on Klein's body at his feet. He leaned over with a smile, picked up his upper body, and kissed his somewhat cold lips. .

"It's time to wake up, Sleeping Beauty."

She whispered the name of the fairy tale that only she and the other party understood.

It's indeed a bit like the prince kissing the princess to wake up... No, it's the princess kissing the prince to wake up.

Klein also smiled, and with a thought, the spirit body naturally sank into the gray mist and flew towards the corpse below.

At this moment, another thought occurred in his mind involuntarily:

Since the gifts of fate have a price, does the Angel given to him by God also need to be paid?

————

Angel breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Klein in his arms open his eyes and his eyes gradually focused.

What she is most worried about is that Klein will die completely, or that the power of the "City of Disaster" will cause some kind of mutation or pollution, although this may be solved by praying to Mr. Fool or other gods, or being "resurrected" again , but it is very dangerous after all.

Feeling the body in his arms rapidly heating up and returning to normal from the cold state, Angel put down Klein and slowly climbed up from the ground, looking around at the walls made of thick bricks, the wide stairs and the altar-like stone table. .

"'Rose of Redemption', 'Red Angel', 'Dark Angel', 'Angel of Destiny'..."

Reciting the three ancient and mysterious powers of Hermes, Giant and Dragon engraved on the altar. After reading the text, Klein nodded thoughtfully, looked at Angel and said,

"This is the abandoned village in the God-forsaken land that you came to when you were looking for the ingredients for the 'Despair' potion?"

Angel was stunned for a moment, and his eyes quickly moved around. Scanning the stage, he replied:

"Yes, this village looks very much like a place where giants live. The doors, windows, tables and chairs are several sizes larger than those used by humans, but the architectural layout of the village is very similar to the village of Isla Sorna, as if One is original, the other is counterfeit..."

"This is probably related to the leakage of the power of 'City of Disaster', and Bansi Port also restored the ancient bloody sacrifice under this power,"

Klein replied casually, taking the initiative to take the initiative from Angel. He took the lantern in his hand, looked at the small amount of oil inside, thought for a moment, reached out and grabbed a "historical image" lantern from the void that had exactly the same appearance, but could only last a short time, and extinguished the real one. Hanging on his waist, he held the fake one and said to Angel:

"From now on, the real lamp will be used sparingly..."

In the Land Abandoned by God, as long as you are in complete darkness, you may be attacked by monsters at any time. , or even the whole person disappeared silently, and no one could find a trace anymore. According to the experience of Silver City, even the Saint is no exception.

As for whether the angel could survive this weird power, neither Angel nor Klein dared to bet.

With the faint light, the two stepped onto the stone stairs leading to the ground one after another, and walked into the darkness where lightning flashed from time to time.

(End of chapter)Chapter 1032: Separation and Attack Arriving on the street of the village, before Klein raised the lantern and looked around, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared above his head.

It passed across the sky silently, and after a long time, the low thunder reached the ears of the two of them. Before that, Klein had used the flash of light to see the surrounding environment clearly, and found that he was in a building that was obviously for A street of houses designed and built by giants.

"The wooden doors and windows have long since decayed and disappeared, leaving only the stone frame. The moss has died and has almost become a fossil; there are no stars or moon above the head, and only lightning can bring short-term light... It is the same as the last time Angel 'travelled' and returned with me. The description is consistent, this is the God-Forsaken Land where Derrick the Sun lives..."

He analyzed it subconsciously in his mind, connecting the scene in front of him with the historical knowledge about the God-Forsaken Land that he had learned before. At the same time, the "Ancient Scholar" potion that had been silent for a long time in the body actually became loose and showed signs of digestion.

It seems that what he is missing is the history of the "Eastern Continent", as well as the cause of the God's Abandoned Land and his experiences over the past millennium... He had a clear understanding, held up the lantern, looked at Angel beside him, and said with a smile:

" We made a little gain just after we got here... Let's go see the bone burial ground you mentioned. "

By harvest, do you mean the digestion of the potion?"

Angel looked at Klein who was looking around excitedly, and was also happy for him.

The two crossed the street that had not been visited for countless years and walked towards the corner of the village.

During the not-so-long journey, Angel discovered that although most of the traces of life in this village had been erased by time, the dense stone pillars on the street were still intact. They were about four meters high, like a row of lost walls. The pillars of the wall.

But Angel keenly discovered that judging by the height of the giants, they were just lamp posts at best - the bowl-shaped protrusions above them were containers carrying liquid fuel.

"There should still be people here after the 'Catastrophe'. It wasn't until the surrounding food was exhausted and the environment was completely destroyed that it gradually withered and eventually died."

She said to Klein next to her with confirmation, and the latter clicked He nodded and agreed with her.

When the sun shines, stars and the red moon adorn it, such a small village has no need for such intensive lighting. Only in the "Land Abandoned by the Gods" where the night becomes eternal and dangerous, does the importance of lighting exceed everything.

Of course, the artificial light did not allow this village to survive. Even if they avoided the dangers in the night and tried to use monster corpses as food to survive, they ended up like the villages of Bansi Port and Isla Sorna, due to the "City of Disaster" "The leakage of power was inevitably contaminated, and eventually the body and head were separated in some kind of crazy sacrifice, and he died a violent death.

As long as the population of the tribe is reduced to a certain level, it will be impossible to reproduce. They will either migrate to other villages or cities, or they will gradually become monsters in the pollution and sink together with the fallen creatures hidden in the night...

Thinking like this, Angel looked towards In the endless darkness outside the village, she could barely see the rolling hills in the distance, the endless plains and scattered man-made buildings.

Wandering in the wilderness are various strange-looking monsters. They are looming in the darkness, like pieces of black mist moving silently. They have been paying attention to the only light in the village, but they seem to be aware of the danger and hesitate to dare. near.

It's completely different from the last time I came here. It seems that even if these monsters are crazy and deformed, they can clearly sense that Sequence 5 can be bullied at will, and Sequence 2 must not get close... She laughed secretly, and maybe they were still normal before ignoring these. A human or giant monster, he took Klein to the "boneyard" where countless giant bones were buried.

Beside the large open-air pit that had been exposed by years of wind, Klein finally saw the "aboriginal people" of the village. They had become skeletons more than two meters tall, missing spines and heads. There is a small open space separated from the heads piled together, as if they have been carefully placed.

"It looks like some kind of sacrificial site, like the cave on the top of the Bansi Port..."

Klein commented while holding up the lantern, and fished out one from the void. It had been with him for a while in the past, but now it's unknown whether it was in Reinette's. There was a gold coin somewhere else in his mouth, he bounced it up, closed his eyes slightly, and did a quick divination.

Bang - He grabbed the gold coin suddenly, frowned slightly, and muttered:

"The connection with the spiritual world is very weak..."

This is a bad thing for a "divinationist" who is proficient in divination and can avoid many dangers according to spiritual reminders. The news means that it is difficult for him to avoid hidden conspiracies and attacks out of sight, let alone predict dangers and formulate battle plans in advance.

"The 'mirror world' here is also self-contained and not connected to the outside world. This means that I cannot leave the land abandoned by the gods through the mirror passage, and can only return the same way..."

Angel also grabbed it in the void. She tried to grab the weapon hidden in the "mirror space", but found that this small area that was opened up in the mirror world and belonged to her had also lost contact with her.

It's similar to Trier in the Fourth Age, but it was jointly sealed by the "God of Machinery and Steam" and the "Eternal Sun". What about the "Land Abandoned by the Gods"... Angel looked up at the sky thoughtfully, She happened to see another bolt of lightning flash across her eyes, bringing with it a low roar and a brief flash of light.

This is very similar to the feeling that the "Tyrant" card gives me... If I hadn't been promoted to an angel and had a deeper understanding of divinity and divine power, it would have been difficult to discover the connection between the two... Blocking God Abandoned Could it be that one of the earth's powers comes from the "Lord of Storms", the former "Wind Angel" Leodro?

With this level of knowledge, she quickly discovered more clues:

the power of making people disappear without a trace in the darkness, and the clues that could not be found using various methods may come from the "Goddess of the Night" Amanisis, who She was once the "Goddess of Doom";

the fallen creatures that wander around and can use shadows to move quickly have powers similar to those of "Shepherds" and "Black Knights". Angel speculates that it is related to the sequence 0 of this path, the "True Creator" . At least three true gods have joined forces to seal this land... No, the "True Creator" is probably in a passive defensive state. His believers try to come here to worship the gods through the "God War Ruins", which means that he stayed in a dark, dark place. The possibility of the God-Abandoned Land being rampant with corrupted forces is very high...

With Klein's time observing the Bone Burial Ground, Angel quickly figured out the sources of various powers escaping from the God-Abandoned Land.

After listening to her narration, Klein not only had no worries, but replied with an even brighter smile:

"So, the followers of the Primordial Moon and Zarath, the forces I was originally worried about, will not be able to interfere with me. The former will naturally I was blocked by the True God, who had been exiled to that misty town by the goddess. He would only suspect that my coming here was a trap, especially after the last temptation was resolutely counterattacked...

"In this way, I only have to face Amon, who does not know whether his true form is here, and the believers of the 'True Creator' who may react, although the power that can be borrowed has also been reduced, the enemy is clearer. "

This is the main reason why he came to the God-Forsaken Land besides digesting the "Ancient Scholar" potion.

————

Creating a micro-earthquake, Angel rebuilt the open-air burial ground using the surrounding floating soil. Burying them so that these villagers who died tragically due to the leakage of the power of the "City of Disaster" would no longer be exposed to the wind... Although there was no sun, it was still not a good thing to be exposed in the wilderness.

Then, she and Klein returned to the Land Abandoned by the Gods .

"You really don't need me to stay for a few more days ? "

Looking at the sky where the lightning frequency dropped significantly, Angel asked.

"Anyway, you will eventually go back to a fixed point in time through here. What's the point of a few more days and a few less days? If something unexpected happens during this time, it might cause both of us to lose the ability to leave 'God Abandoned' There is no chance..."

Klein shook off the historical image of the lantern that he had summoned for an unknown number of times, and said pretending to be relaxed.

Of course he hopes that Angel can always be with him, but the process of searching for the "Dark Demonic Wolf" in the God-Forsaken Land must be arduous and long. Angel, who has been "anchored" in time at the entrance to Sorna Island, cannot always be with him. he.

"...And, can't I summon your historical images at any time?"

As he spoke, Klein used his free hand to pull at his side, and an Angel with a dull expression and dull eyes appeared staggeringly from the fog of history. .

From this point of view, I was really stupid when I let my brain go... Looking at the historical image that looked and dressed the same as myself, Angel muttered a few words and tried to hide in the mirror world. His consciousness immediately awakened in this "doppelgänger". The expression becomes animated.

"But you have to remember that when I was in the outside world, the 'mirror world' and the land abandoned by the gods were not connected, and the historical images could not be transformed into the real me."

The fake Angel said.

Seeing that Klein's expression was a little sad, she smiled and added:

"...At most, I will come here from Sorna Island every once in a while, and you can summon my history anywhere in the land abandoned by the gods. The image came directly to me."

After saying that, she deliberately opened her arms to let Klein actively embrace her, but at the last moment she gave up her mind to maintain this historical image and became sluggish, causing Klein to rush forward. An "empty".

...

Leaving all the "disaster" and other charms he carried with him to Klein, Angel returned to the basement, used his blood to reactivate the runes connecting the God's Abandoned Land and Sorna Island, and returned to the Raging Sea in a burst of darkness. of depth.

She looked at the dimmed runes with emotion, and her body naturally disappeared into the "mirror world" of the outside world. She was about to return to Backlund, but suddenly she felt like the world was spinning.

Then, she saw in the depths of the mirror world, a deep darkness quickly rushed towards her, like a tide, like a rushing "disaster" and "doomsday".
