In the bottomless abyss, in an unspeakable world.

The stars and the moon ring outline the beautiful appearance of the night of this world. But no matter how beautiful the night is, it can only whitewash the sky, and cannot cover up the barrenness of the earth and the drying up of life.

It's a world of near desolation.

On the abandoned continent, a lonely library stands quietly.

The interior of the library is bustling with books, ornate carved attics and spires, and painted windows full of stories, and the whole is full of religious solemnity. In addition, the only creature in the library was sitting silently at the desk at this time, looking into the void in a trance.

If Ingres were here, he would find that it looked exactly like the statue in the underground hall of the Void Tower.

It is the cruel scholar himself.

The cruel scholar's eyes have always been unwavering, but now they are a little more suspicious, and even faintly afraid.

Its consciousness descended on Rasudran for the second time in a short period of time, something that cruel scholars had not expected, the last time because someone was trying to destroy the Inscription Hub, and this time, because of a person with a very strange soul.

The man had said that everything that spied on his soul had an accident. It scoffed at the time, and it didn't realize that what the human was saying was wrong until it actually went to investigate.

The cruel scholar recalled the picture he had seen after the advent of consciousness before, and he only felt a palpitation.

It probed the land of the human soul, and it found a strange wound that was bubbling with soul power with a force that did not conform to any rules. It's rare, but it's extremely pure.

This means of increasing the quality of the soul out of thin air makes cruel scholars think that it is a mysterious thing in a trance.

But just as he was about to look through the wound and look behind it, he felt a terrifying sense of oppression descending on it from a distant time and space.

Before it could even see what was happening, a flood of negative information hit its consciousness.

This kind of impact, not only the advent consciousness that remained in Rasudran, but even the essence of the cruel scholar was hurt.

The consciousness of the cruel scholar was washed out of the soul by the torrent of information, and at that moment, it even had a sense of happiness in its heart.

Because of that terrible sense of oppression, it has never been experienced since its birth.

After feeling the oppression, the cruel scholar understood that the existence behind the wound was definitely not comparable to it...... In fact, it had seen a being called a "miracle" among humans on the arrogant side before.

This "miracle" is also a great person who can look down on it.

But even the "miracle" did not have as much oppression on it as the one before him.

There are three orders of miracles, and it only encounters humans at the beginning of miracles, and perhaps behind that human apprentice is ...... The existence of the latter order in the miracle!

When I think of this, even if it is, I can't help but have a look of horror in my eyes.

Who is that human apprentice, and who is the being behind him?

The cruel scholar pondered silently, and from what the apprentice had thought before, he himself did not seem to understand the mysteries of the soul...... And the existence behind that soul didn't have much impact on that apprentice, at most it only flowed a little soul power.

The mode of coexistence between the human apprentice and the terrifying existence behind it made the cruel scholar frightened and curious at the same time.

"There are strange things about the body and soul, and I really want to study them. A cruel look of interest flashed in its eyes.

This kind of interest makes it more exciting than the human it has met before.

......

Ingres stepped back without a trace.

He didn't know what had happened before, but for now, the cruel scholar bowed his head and was silent, the coercion and prying feeling on his body had disappeared, and now was the best time to leave!

Ingres didn't dare to make any noise, but quietly retreated.

Seeing that the door was behind him, Ingres seemed to have seen freedom beckoning to him—

"Humans. ”

The dull sound suddenly sounded in my ears.

Like a malfunctioning machine, Ingres turned his head little by little, looking at the statue of the cruel scholar in the center, with embarrassment and regret in his eyes.

In the face of such a powerful existence, Angel did not dare to provoke at all, and waited for its next step with a respectful face.

Even if the other party didn't use coercion, he didn't dare to run away at this time.

"You ......," the cruel scholar paused, as if pondering the wording, and then said, "Would you like to be my follower?" ”

Angel was stunned, he had guessed in his heart what the other party would say, and even thought about his own sad end, but he didn't expect that this sentence would come out of the mouth of a cruel scholar.

The so-called believers are actually admirers of the demon gods.

Among humans, many wizards are not capable of doing so, so they will try to go astray. By believing in the demon god and obtaining the power of the demon god, you can achieve your goals.

The Profound Alchemy Society encountered in Sky Machinery City, almost all of the high-level members inside were followers of the Profound Lord.

This kind of power is often easy to come by, and the best results can be achieved in a short time. But the consequences brought by power are endless, and many people have made great strides in a short period of time after believing in the demon god, but their potential will gradually disappear. Moreover, believing in the demon god is equivalent to selling one's soul, even after death, the soul will return to the demon god, and there will be no chance to turn over.

Tempting them to use short-term profits to obtain a more long-term goal is the means of the demon god.

Therefore, becoming a believer in the demon god is definitely not a good choice.

As soon as Angel heard this sentence at first glance, he subconsciously wanted to refuse. It's just that he is facing a demon god who is countless times stronger than himself, and Angel is worried that refusing will bring bad consequences to himself.

"I don't know what to do. A cold snort came from the mouth of the cruel scholar.

Angel was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that although he had just obtained the "shielded" green vein, he had not activated it yet, and it was obvious that his inner activities had been detected by the other party again.

Angel was a little helpless, he refused the request of the demon god, and his fate was estimated to be cold.

However, when Ingres was surprised, the cruel scholar didn't seem to punish him, but just looked at Ingre, as if he was thinking about something.

Ingres was very apprehensive in his heart, but he didn't know that in fact, the cruel scholar was also hesitating now.

It had previously said that it would make Ingres its follower, but it was also a temptation. Any demon god believer will inevitably imprint the demon god on his body and soul, which is not only used for the advent of the demon god's will, but also for drawing power from the believer and obtaining the soul of the believer.

After seeing the terrifying existence before, the cruel scholar naturally didn't dare to put the mark of the demon god on this human apprentice, it just wanted to test the bottom line of that existence.

If it left a trace of its own thoughts with this human apprentice, would it provoke a backlash?

- The curiosity about Ingres suppressed the inner jealousy of the cruel scholar.

Ingres's inner resistance, to the cruelty of the scholar's surprise, was now waiting for the reaction of the one behind it.

Five minutes had passed, and Ingres noticed that the cruel scholar had not moved or spoken after saying that, which changed his mood from apprehension to doubt.

If the cruel scholar really wants to kill him, any way will do.

It has no follow-up now, does it not care about its refusal, or does it have other plans? Or does he actually think too much, the cruel scholar does not care about his little apprentice, and its will has left Rasuderan?

As Ingres thought this, there was a sudden noise in the middle of the hall.

Ingres looked up, he had thought the statue had moved, but it wasn't the statue that made the noise, but the "starving" demon he had thought was dead.

The strange demon suddenly woke up, half-propped up his withered body, raised his head to the sky, and let out a strange guttural sound.

With the guttural sound, the whole hall shook, the gravel fell, the dust flew, and several falling rocks almost hit him, and Angel could only keep moving to dodge, and when he came back to his senses, he found that his position happened to be right next to the door.

You can even see the dim light of the oil lamp outside through the hole in the center of the gate, and the old staircase that rotates upwards.

Ingres glanced back at the central statue, which was still in a motionless state.

Ingre's heart was overjoyed, the passage he left was in front of him, and he did not hesitate to turn around and leap out of the hole.

But at this moment, a pattern of light appeared in the center of the hole.

Angel hit the streaks like rubber, and a dent bounced back.

After Ingres settled down, he looked at the light pattern and immediately recognized it, this is an inscription! Now that the inscription hub of La Sudland has been destroyed, how can there still be an intact inscription! The only possibility...... Ingres turned his head to look at the statue in the center.

Now, the only ones who can make the inscription reappear are the cruel scholars!

When Ingres looked over, the cruel scholar still didn't move, but the thin demon stood up slowly.

It was long, with loose skin all over its body, layered on top of each other, covered with strange lines. Its skull, with little flesh, was left with only several layers of drooping skin.

One-eyed, one-horned, and a bloody mouth full of fangs. The styling is scary and weird.

Ingres couldn't recognize what kind of demon it was, but he could see that the demon's eyes were suddenly staring at him, his eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth were dripping saliva, and he walked towards it with vague steps......

Its steps are vague and look weak, but it is fast.

In the blink of an eye, it was in front of Angel, opening its large, fanged scarlet mouth......
