Chapter 487: Divine Power Erosion
Why did such a clear sign of the collapse of faith occur in Serente?Did he attribute Alfie's death to the fact that the Lord of Light had not given him the right guidance in time?Coughren was surprised by the mutation that had happened to Selent.
Except for a small cloud of milky white holy light remaining on the guardian hammer held in his right hand, Celent's whole body was already shrouded in dark yellow soul light at this time, and one after another soul divine inscriptions flew out of the sheepskin scroll on his left hand, hovering around Serent in the soul light for several weeks, and gradually dissolved into the surrounding soul light.
Celent found himself in a state very similar to when he was trapped in the giant egg in the Boar People tribe, and after each soul god that flew out of the parchment scroll merged into the soul light, a piece of information related to the soul god would automatically appear in his mind, most of which were soul magic, and some of them seemed to be some secrets about the soul god. It's just that these secrets are just words, and Celent can't connect them together for the time being.
What also made Sirent feel slightly strange was that when he received the information, he could vaguely sense as if someone was spying on his every move, but he couldn't find out who was spying on him, and where that person was.
As in the Dome, in receiving this information, Celent temporarily lost control of his body, and now only his right hand holding the Guardian Hammer was under his control, and he could still command him. If Cross were to attack him now, Serent would not be able to stop him with just one right hand and the Guardian Hammer.
Kroos, on the other hand, missed the opportunity in vain. When Cross discovers that the most powerful soul arrow he has at his disposal has no effect on Serent, he realizes that there is no second way to deal with Selent, which makes him hesitate.
After Kross fused with the Refined Bronze Snake, out of hatred for Alfie's deep bone marrow, and thinking that he had obtained the divine power of a soul god that was unique in the continent of Eliat, he did not spend too much time to familiarize himself with and grasp the information obtained after the fusion.
What made Cross even more frightened was that the divine power of the Soul God emanating from Celent's body was getting stronger and stronger, far exceeding the divine power he had mastered, completely shattering the confidence in his heart that he thought he had mastered the unique divine power of the Soul God.
After the main purpose of killing Alfie had been accomplished, the timid Cross began to retreat. He was about to "release" Celrant for the time being, and first return to the secret room to ask his master for instructions, and then make his next move, but he completely forgot that Count Delacoural seemed to have mysteriously disappeared.
However, as soon as the idea of escaping came to Cross, he was stunned to find that his control over the Refined Bronze Snake seemed to have dropped a lot. Instead of retreating as he intended, the little bronze snake slowly swam in the direction of Celent as if it was faintly attracted by something.
Cross desperately tried to control the little copper snake and let it stop getting close to Serent, but from the little copper snake, the idea of the little snake itself came from it. The little snake insisted that it must first stop Celent from continuing to absorb the soul divine text from the parchment scroll, and the instinct of the little snake told it that it was a great threat, and if Cross objected, then it would take back control of its body and do it on its own.
Cross then realized that the reality was far from being as beautiful as he imagined, and he was able to control the body of the Refined Copper Snake before, which was completely the idea of the Refined Copper Snake itself to "delegate" to him, and if the Little Snake was unwilling, he could take back control of his body at any time. Faced with the threat of the little snake, Cross gave in and temporarily relinquished control of his body.
After a hasty warning to Cross, the Bronze Serpent shot at the sheepskin scroll in Serent's hand without Kross's control, preparing to shoot the sheepskin scroll out of Serent's hand.
Sensing the hostility from the Refined Copper Snake, the Refined Copper Snake automatically generated a defensive shield around Celent long before the Refined Copper Snake attacked, which happened to block the Refined Copper Snake's face.
The fine copper snake is like a sharp arrow, the arrow is its snake head, against the defensive cover, desperately drilling into the inside of the defensive cover; feeling the pressure from the fine copper snake, the sheepskin scroll also responded, it concentrated all the defensive forces originally scattered around the Celent to the front of the fine copper snake, forming a dark yellow shield like substance, firmly blocking the progress of the fine copper snake.
At the same time, the speed at which the soul god on the sheepskin scroll flew out was greatly accelerated, and almost at the moment when the god text left the scroll, it was integrated into the soul light, and Celent also felt that the input intensity of the soul god information in his mind suddenly increased greatly, and Celrent, who had had an experience once, immediately understood that the most difficult test was coming, and last time he fainted because he couldn't accept so much information.
At this time, a voice seemed to whisper softly in Celrent's ear: "Relax, empty your mind and body to receive this information......
The familiar voice was very seductive, and after hearing this voice, Celent involuntarily followed the instructions of the voice, relaxed all his body and mind, and accepted the information about the soul god with the most peaceful mind.
One by one, the soul divine texts appeared in Serent's mind, and a trace of soul divine power accompanied these soul divine texts into his body, constantly washing among his limbs and hundreds of remains, looking for a suitable place to stay.
Previously, as the most devout believer of the Lord of Light, the Holy Light belonging to the Lord of Light had already purified every corner of Selent's body. The divine power of the god of souls could barely find a suitable place to reside in Serente's body.
I don't know why the soul divine power and the light holy light, which should have broken out in a fierce conflict, turned out to be safe in Selent's body, and wherever it was purified by the light and holy light, the soul divine power never stopped, just hurriedly passed by, looking for the next place where it could be accommodated.
From the outside, Silent is undoubtedly in a precarious position. Everyone only saw that Serente's skin bulged from time to time, and there seemed to be a small snake about ten centimeters thick with chopsticks scurrying around in his body. The little snake continued to release its soul divine power outward, and after the little snake passed through the little snake's skin, a terrible bump would appear, and blood seeped out of the bump. In the blink of an eye, Celent had been turned beyond recognition by the little snake, and his image looked extremely terrifying.
"Divine erosion! This is divine erosion!" Coughren shouted in panic. As the nemesis of the God of Souls, the Lord of Light left many negative accounts of the God of Souls to the Holy See. Silent's current situation is quite consistent with one of them.
It was the result of the soul divine power that began to continuously invade Celrent's body. As far as Kaufron knew, it wouldn't be long before the soul power drained the last bit of life essence from Serente's body, and Serent would die completely.
