Chapter 354: Decisive Battle (XVIII)
What is the 'soul'?
If you ask a mage this question, you will get a unified answer - 'the soul is the root of everything'!
Souls depart from the Sea of Chaos, pass through each world through the River Styx, and those souls who have no self-will will enter each world and become a new 'life'.
When a life is gone, the soul will re-enter the River Styx and then return to the Sea of Chaos through a long journey.
'Styx' is nothing more than a title, a concept, and only in the outer planes does it actually exist, and the main material plane absolutely does not exist.
No matter who you have, as long as you have the ability, you can capture the soul, and in order not to disturb the cycle of 'soul'-'life', every world will have at least one god of death, even if it is a world without any supernatural power, it will definitely have a 'god of death'.
Of course, the 'Grim Reaper' does not have to be a specific entity, but it may also be a conceptual existence that does not possess an entity.
However, from the unscrupulous behavior of the 'demons' and the 'devils', it is clear that as long as the 'cycle' is not broken, then the Grim Reaper and the Styx will not do anything.
It stands to reason that even the 'gods' should not allow some souls to reside in their kingdom, but since they do, it means that it is not considered to be 'disrupting the order', because the gods themselves represent the 'order' itself.
'Soul' is a taboo that no mage will try to touch - there were some mages who thought they were strong enough to try to study souls, but then, in addition to leaving a record of 'studying souls', not only the mage himself, but even the organization where the mage belonged, were uprooted, and nothing remained.
That's why, after thinking of that possibility, the old mage was so out of shape.
Demons and devils dare to devour souls, but they never 'study souls' because that is taboo, a 'taboo' that no one dares to touch!
But now it's different......
"My grandfather said I was a genius, and from the time I first started studying, he said I was a genius, and in fact I was a genius too. ”
At this time, the Marquis of Elfaro did not hold the teleportation stone, but his voice still echoed on the plain.
It's not that the two knights don't want to make a move, but the female swordmaster is watching from the side, and there is a 'monster' hidden behind the marquis, which makes them feel jealous and dare not take action easily.
The Marquis of El Faro began to tell his life: "I am the heir of the family, because I am a genius, so the 'curse' of the short life of the El Faro family will naturally end in my generation, because I no longer need to let the descendants inherit the knowledge and wisdom of our family to complete that illusory research!"
"My father was only in his fifties when he died, and he didn't want to die, but the mission passed down by the family for so many years made him have to die, if I wasn't a 'genius', I would have experienced this fate, and I would have died at an age when I didn't want to die, but I was lucky that I was a 'genius'. ”
The Marquis of Elfaro pointed to himself and said with a smile: "I have fulfilled the long-cherished wish of my ancestors and put an end to El Farro...... No, the mission of the 'Bauhinia' family has been passed down from generation to generation - we are the orthodox of the 'Bauhinia' family, and the rest of the branches are the bait we put out to cover people's eyes. ”
Knight Tosolo clenched the hilt of his sword, his eyes kept falling on the female swordmaster, he glanced at Knight Kyle beside him, and after a little thought, he asked the Marquis of Elfaro in a loud voice, "Since you have all been hidden for so many years, why are you still being exposed at such a time?"
“...... Heh, why do you want me to expose myself and the 'Bauhinia' family at such a time?" Marquis Elfaro shook his head and chuckled, "Isn't this an obvious thing?
With a confident smile on his face, the legendary necromancer raised his hands and shouted, "What we are after is the 'ultimate in magic', and as we all know, 'magic is a path to truth', then we are seeking the truth." ”
"There are many extremes of magic, we just chose the easiest one, maybe you all think I, or we are 'crazy', but so what?"
The Marquis of Elfaro raised his finger and pointed at these people in front of him, "None of you can stop me, or rather, you have had the opportunity to stop me before, but because of Krylov III - I thought he and I were the same kind of people, and they could do anything for the sake of their ideals, but I was wrong, he is no different from those wastes!"
The Marquis of Elfaro shook his head, and the smile on his face had become a kind of irony at such a time.
He couldn't see the dripping face of Krylov III, nor the excited expressions of the nobles after being called 'rubbish' again and again.
The Marquis of Elfaro didn't think that what he said was sarcastic, he thought that everything he said was the truth, so he didn't get excited about it—he was just 'telling the truth'!
"'It' has been born, as you guessed—" The Marquis of Elfaro looked sideways at the town behind him, "right behind me, you had a chance to stop me, but alas, Krylov III thought he was sure to win, let me finish the story, it's a pity, he almost won......"
The more the Marquis of Elfaro spoke, the more annoyed Krylov III became.
Even if what the Marquis of Elfaro said was 'true', Krylov III would never want to hear these words, which fell on his ears, especially harsh!
"Enough! What the hell do you want to say?!" Krylov III rudely interrupted the Marquis of Elfaro, who at this time had a hideous face, and had been thoroughly enraged by the Marquis of Elfaro.
At this time, the knight of Tosolo sighed, this time it was completely finished......
"Didn't I say that clearly enough? I think I said it clearly enough!"
The Marquis of Elfaro laughed again, but with a smile and a smile, he sighed and looked lonely, "We are all going to die here, because we will be the first meal after the birth of 'it', and of course, 'sacrifice'." Neither you nor I will die......"
"Ah!!!!!!!h
As soon as Marquis El Fallo's words fell, a scream instantly pierced everyone's eardrums and hearts!
Even the Marquis of Elfaro twitched the corners of her mouth, and she couldn't help but hold her forehead, and the female swordmaster needed to grit her teeth and endure the pain.
The two knights had a throb on their foreheads, because their position was also very close to the small city, so the impact on the two of them was enough to break the hearts of ordinary people, but the two knights survived with tenacity.
But after that, the two of them stood there as if they had collapsed, panting, and it was difficult to even hold on to the hilt of their swords.
This psychic shock spread across the plains, but because it was far enough away, the soldiers of the royal army did not suffer much impact, at most they fainted because of this psychic shock.
Now the battlefield behind the two knights is still fighting, and those undead creatures don't need fighting spirit and morale at all, as long as they can still move, then they will obey their master's orders and carry them through to the end.
Fainting on such a battlefield means 'death'!
However, 'syncope' may not be the worst, because 'psychic shock' is not the end, but a 'beginning'!
'You killed me......
'Devil!'
'Ahh......h It hurts!Mommy-Mommy!'
'All dead...... Hehe, they're all dead......'
'Noble, I want to be noble! I don't want to die, I don't want to die!!
In people's ears, chaotic and noisy voices suddenly sounded!
