Chapter 613 The Second Power

Regarding the Lion King's worries and arguments, although the system did not express its position, it was slightly disapproving in its heart.No, perhaps it shouldn't be said that she didn't take it seriously, but that the other party had joined the group for a short time, and her and the system's perspectives were somewhat different, which led to a slight deviation in her understanding of the relationship between the system and Yi Guang.

The Lion King is an existence with dual attributes of "king" and "god". Her absolute rationality allows her to always maintain a superior attitude when looking at things, and analyze things with pure interest thinking.Although the system likes her way of thinking very much, it has to be said that the perspectives between "king" and "tool" are still somewhat biased, which makes her worry that the system seems superfluous in many cases.

The system is 100% confident that Yi Guang will not have conflicts with her because of her behavior, and the reason is not just a simple interest relationship.If it was just for benefits, she and Yi Guang might have reached the end of Caster's team long ago, just like in the world of "Dark Soul", there was a major ideological difference between Yi Guang and the system.If the two sides hadn't made a compromise that time, or if Yi Guang hadn't thought about it and had gone all the way to the dark, I don't know what the situation would be like now.

But, at the end of the day, that's all a thing of the past.After experiencing so much, Yi Guang's mentality has already undergone many changes, and the system has become extremely familiar with Yi Guang.Perhaps in The Lion King's view, the system often asserts its power and does things behind Yi Guang's back.It's like Dameng... Ah bah, the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty ruled over power, and the eunuchs Jin Yiwei mutilated Zhongliang and disrupted the court?Don't be kidding, if the person sitting on the Golden Luan Hall hadn't nodded, the eunuch who covered the sky with his hands in the eyes of outsiders would not dare to breathe aloud.

In the same way, if it is not good at grasping Yi Guang's thoughts and bottom line, the system would not be able to do this kind of thing.So what if Yi Guang knew the truth?Is Estes dead?No, she is still alive, and in the short term, her strength has improved to a higher level, which is in line with the expectations of this mission; Esdesh's growth is restricted by Yi Guang, is it harmful to Yi Guang?It's all beneficial but not harmful...Even, Yi Guang himself may be subconsciously on guard against Esthers.

After all, she is a queen who completely obeys the law of beasts. Esdeath is a double-edged sword. If you use it well, you will be invincible, but if you use it poorly, it will hurt your own people.From the beginning, he kept pace with Yi Guang, and then he was left far behind by Yi Guang. As the host of the system, Yi Guang naturally has an advantage. If a sum of resources is used to improve Estes, the strength gap between the two will become what it is today?You know, although Yi Guang has a dark face, his strength structure has basically been formed in the mission after "Zhan Chi", and the consumption of points and Saint Quartz is very small.Under such circumstances, he intentionally or unintentionally widened the gap between the two... Perhaps Yi Guang himself didn't think so, but subconsciously he did.

"You still don't know that guy well, Miss Lion King..."

Leaving such a sigh, the consciousness of the system fell silent again, and the negotiation with Erica and the European magic world was temporarily handed over to the Lion King.And at about the same time, the blizzard caused by Esdeth finally stopped completely, and the divine power left by the "God of Disobedience" on this land quickly dissipated.Of course, Yi Guang, who is still quite careful, did not forget to clean up the scene after eating. He summoned the divine power of the sun, and quickly melted the large amount of snow on the scene caused by the snowstorm.

No matter what conjectures or clues the magicians who come to investigate later will have, at the very least, ordinary people should not be aware of too obvious a sense of disobedience.Under the Mediterranean climate, it is obviously against common sense for such severe extreme cold and snowfall to occur, let alone being so strangely concentrated in such a small area as this forest.As for the witnesses and a series of aftermath, there are few people here, and the local secret forces will handle it properly, so Yi Guang only needs to deal with the troublesome parts.

"Outsiders, you are more dangerous than I imagined..."

Suddenly, Yi Guang heard a soft sigh from someone.But when he looked around carefully, he found nothing, only a trace of strange energy fluctuations telling him that this sigh should not be an illusion.

Do not follow Pandora...

Even if the other party didn't show up, but just spied on for a short while, Yi Guang could guess the other party's identity.According to the rules set by Pandora herself, as long as humans and gods coexist and coexist, this disaster girl will emerge from the unpredictable "underworld".Esdeth's current identity is "God Slayer", which is considered a human being, and even a "child" of Pandora, while "Mekar the Disobedient" is a god, which just conforms to her rules, so she appears here, rather It is also a matter of course.But obviously, the "beast nature" and "swallowing" power displayed by Yi Guang made this disaster girl feel jealous and even fearful... probably because of this reason, she didn't need to show up directly in front of Yi Guang. body.

After all, she is also a member of the "God of Disobedience", even if she does not deal with the two camps of "Goddess of the Earth" and "Steel and Sky", she still has some meaning of sadness.Maybe she is afraid right now, fearing that once she shows up, Yi Guang, a monster from outside the world, might swallow her together.

Regarding this, Yi Guang just smiled and didn't care.First, the strength of the "God of Disobedience" encountered so far is not very strong, and they are not considered a threat; second, Wendy is active somewhere in this world, and there is this crazy woman who is enough to make Yi Guang feel like an enemy Existence, other things have to be properly put aside.As a mere "God of Disobedience", how can He De be compared with the Herrscher who has the body of the King of Gulangi?

To put it bluntly, among the aborigines in this world, the only ones that Yi Guang felt the need to take seriously were the powerful "Heroes of Steel" in the later period of the original "Godslayer" and the "Last Hero". "King" and the "Goddess of Destiny" hidden behind everything, the plug-in of "Ancient Covenant Dafa" and the concept bonus of "The Original Mother Goddess" are not a joke.

But these people are just plot characters after all, Yi Guang probably knows their details, and the upper limit of this world is here, no matter how strong they are, Yi Guang still has a great chance of winning.As for Wendy, even Yi Guang, who is now many times stronger than back then, still feels deep fear when recalling that battle.That kind of absolute power, the terrifying force that can break through all of Yi Guang's offensive and defense head-on, is the biggest source of anxiety in Yi Guang's heart.

"It seems that the effect of imitating the ceremony is good..."

Aside from the slight discomfort brought by Pandora's peeping, Yiguang's sun power melting has almost melted the surrounding snow-covered forests and ruins.Then he looked not far away, instilled the power of Mekal by himself, and imitated the "usurpation ceremony" to try to shape the powerful Esdeath.The power of divinity has been completely absorbed into Esdeth's body, and the divine aura and energy fluctuations on her body are getting weaker and weaker. This means that the simulated ceremony has reached the final stage. What is the final result of this ceremony? , Yi Guang is still looking forward to it.

However, the current top priority is to leave here as soon as possible.After all, Esdeth has been fighting "Mekar the Disobedience" for so long, and the local magicians must be on their way here.

"Let's meet the Lion King and the others first..."

Saying that, Yi Guang took Esdeth, who had not completed the ceremony, together to a secluded corner near the small hill where the system and the others were.After Estes was fully awake, the two started to head towards the system together.

"How do you feel now? Didn't go through the 'Pandora of Disobedience' and injected divine power directly. Is there any discomfort?" Halfway, Yi Guang began to ask about Esdeth's physical condition.Anyway, this is the first time to try to simulate a mythical spell like "Usurpation Ritual", and it lacks powerful props like "Usurpation Ring".This can be said to be a temporary experimental move in essence, so Yi Guang is actually a little uneasy—even if the system judges that this will not cause any negative effects, and Esdeth's current state looks normal.

"No problem, it feels good..." Estes nodded and said to Yi Guang while feeling the powerful force in his body, "It seems to have acquired a very interesting ability."

"An interesting ability?" Yi Guang raised his eyebrows, "What kind of power is it?"

Although it was not instilled by the orthodox "God Killer" ceremony, after all, Yi Guang imitated the principle of the "Usurpation Ritual" and injected a part of the power of "Mekar the Disobedient" that he could not absorb into Esdeth's body. Therefore, according to the results of that ceremony, it is not impossible for Estes to gain power again.However, just like the original scriptures of the ritual, the result of obtaining power is not fixed, and is determined by the priesthood of the god and the character and desire of the "god killer" who accepts the spell.Therefore, Yi Guang is actually quite curious about the second power Esdeth has obtained.

"That's it..."

As Esdeth's words fell lightly, her whole body completely turned into a golden lightning bolt under Yi Guang's gaze, and it dispersed into countless lightning bolts in an instant, and rushed to the end of Yi Guang's field of vision.Then, under Yi Guang's surprised and curious eyes, the golden lightning regrouped again, revealing Esdeth's appearance.

"It's really an interesting ability."

PS: It seems that the state has recovered a little...

Chapter 614 Negotiation with Erica

"This is..." Seeing the scene where Esdeth suddenly turned into a thunderbolt, Yi Guang showed some curiosity, "Elementalized body?"

With Yi Guang's current eyes, he can naturally see that what Esdesi showed just now is not simply a high-speed movement with special effects added.At that moment just now, she really turned her body into pure electric light, and then reassembled her body according to her own mind.

It looks like the shape transformation skills of some elemental creatures, but in essence it is hundreds of times better than that kind of thing.Because Esdeth's reassembled body is not a temporary human form simulated like those elemental creatures, but a real flesh and blood body.In other words, the ability Esdeth just demonstrated, she really restored it after a complete transformation between flesh and blood and elemental energy.

This is not something that can be achieved by general body energyization, and even among the existences called "gods", there are not many who can do this.

"The abilities of those 'Gods of Disobedience' are interesting..."

Yi Guang nodded, and he couldn't help but think of the previous "Wilerslana the Disobedience", who also came and went without a trace. The ability that Esdeth acquired at this time is similar to that of the other party.Perhaps the result of the infusion of the ritual of usurping power is not just endowing the "godslayers" with the power of gods, but some people even transform some inner things in the direction of "gods".

"This kind of high speed is a bit uncomfortable..." Esdeth smiled a little, and seemed very satisfied with this ability, "Just think about it, and I will appear there in the next second. It's a little confusing. However, it is indeed a very useful ability, especially when the battlefield is divided, it can almost ignore the time consumption to carry out rescue work. However, the current situation does not seem to allow me to test its maximum Effective range and duration..."

Even though he said so, Yi Guang could still see the eagerness in Esdeth's eyes.

"Anyway, there's nothing to do now, why don't you try it yourself first, anyway, you can locate my existence through the contract between us." Yi Guang touched his chin, and then said to her, "Go early and return early .”

"If you go early and come back early, there's no problem." Estes nodded, and then turned into a golden light again, disappearing from Yi Guang's field of vision.Sure enough, she couldn't wait for a long time, and saying hello to Yi Guang was just a routine.Probably even if Yi Guang refused, she would run out without saying a word - of course, Yi Guang has no reason to refuse her, after all, Esdeth is still a reliable person in business matters.She should know something about going early and returning early.

"In that case, then I'll go and meet the two protagonists of the original novel first. Even if Esthers is not around, I have to make up the whole flicker first." Yi Guang said to himself, while Continue walking up the hill.But after walking a few steps, he seemed to remember something, and frowned slightly, "Uh, wait a minute, I seem to have forgotten to remind Estes that someone may come to make trouble recently... But it doesn't matter, a group of small It's just a role."

Yi Guang suddenly remembered that in the original book, after Kusanagi Godou killed "Vereslana the Disobedient", he was approached by a group of magicians in a weak and stupefied state after transformation, and was even kidnapped.It seems that a group of magic associations who call themselves the "Oriental Machi Church" approached them because they believed in Veleslana and tried to avenge God or something.Although the plot of this world line has not changed much, the "suspects" who killed Veleslana have become their own group. If they come to the door, it is normal.

But if you think about it carefully, this group of people is nothing more than a group of third-rate magicians with a small organization, which is similar to a "cult". If it was Esdeth, if the opponent dared to do this, he would be blood splattered five steps away.

So after Yi Guang realized this problem, he just waved his hands needlessly, saying that it was casual, anyway, Esdesh would definitely not suffer.

"Erica Brauntree from 'Copper Black Cross', and the traveler from Neon, Mr. Kusanagi Godou?"

Putting aside the thoughts in his head, Yi Guang came to the place agreed with the system, and saw the man and woman who were the protagonists of the original story.Although in all fairness, because of a series of problems such as the narration in the original book, Yi Guang's feelings towards Erica are not very good, but since she has not done anything that makes Yi Guang feel disgusted, and Yi Guang still needs her as a As a contact person in the magic community in Southern Europe, Yi Guang still greeted the girl and boy in a very gentlemanly manner.

"Ah, hello, thank you and your companions for saving us."

Kusanagi Godou didn't have any opinions, and naturally he didn't have any superfluous thoughts. He was simply grateful to Yi Guang and others for saving his life.However, as another person involved, Erica's brain immediately started to spin after seeing Yi Guang.But on the surface, the daughter of a famous Italian family returned the gift quite politely.

"Exactly, but you are..."

Although her attitude towards Kusanagi Godou was a bit bad before, it was only because of Erika's own nature and her status as a nobleman. If she was facing someone with a similar status, Erika would naturally show Reciprocal courtesies.Since they met once before, Erica had some impression of Yi Guang, and knew that the three of them were together.Since the blond woman in front of her claimed to be the successor of "Pendragon", she even took out the "Holy Sword Excalibur", which is absolutely impossible to fake, to prove her identity, while the other blue-haired lady It's the newly promoted "King"... Then, if you say that the remaining member of this trio is an ordinary person with no status, Erica will never believe it.

Even if the other party said it was a servant, Erica would not believe it, because obviously, the relationship between this descendant of "Pendragon" and the newly promoted "King" did not seem to be very good.But they are still acting in a team, so the remaining person among the three must be playing the role of lubricant and peacemaker.Those who can stay in this position safely and securely can't do without two brushes—no matter what the status of the newly promoted "king" was before, since he can complete the great cause of killing gods, it must be someone the best in the field.

"How much did you talk to him?" But Yi Guang didn't pay attention to Erika and Kusanagi Godou's question, and turned his attention to the Lion King.

"Not much, I just introduced myself to them." The system handed over the dominance of the body to the Lion King. This king with the attributes of the gods relied on the power of the system to temporarily cover the aura of divinity, but the way of speaking was still the same. As indifferent as ever.

Yi Guang nodded: "Since Miss Artoria didn't talk much with you, it seems that she left all the problems to me, so okay, let's talk about the business. I know, you guys The question I am most concerned about right now must be about the seventh 'King', right?"

"Indeed, it's better to say that because of the appearance of the seventh king, the entire European magic world began to have a commotion." Erica nodded, "Because of the traces of gods that appeared in Sardinia, many magic associations have set their sights on to this island. So, after the appearance of the seventh 'King', it was soon known."

"However, apart from you, we haven't seen a few abnormal guys in Sardinia." Yi Guang touched his chin, "Could it be that he was frightened by the 'God of Disobedience'?"

"It's just a bunch of low-class guys." Erica curled her lips in agreement when she heard Yi Guang say this, "Because I'm afraid of the power of God, I only dare to peep in the dark, but I'm a member of the 'Red Copper Black Cross' Knights, so it is naturally impossible to hide in dark corners like them."

"So that's the case, but the two of you dared to break into the core area where the 'God of Disobedience' is. It's true... I don't know what to say." Yi Guang shook his head, but quickly nodded again, " But it’s okay, if you are brave enough, it will be good for our future cooperation. I just don’t know if the elders behind you also have your courage.”

Although I don't like the so-called personality of Erica, who always likes to dominate the scene in the original story, but Yi Guang has never been a person who uses emotions, and Erica has never done anything that makes him actually disgusted.Therefore, he still talked to the magician noble lady very gently, and at the same time, he did not hesitate to express his appreciation for the little courage she showed—since he wanted to cooperate, it was necessary to maintain a good atmosphere. Shang Yiguang still knew.

"Uncle is one of the best and most powerful knights in Italy. He is only inferior to the 'King of Swords'. Your Excellency should not doubt his bravery." Erica frowned and said to Yi Guang , "Instead of discussing this issue, why don't you report yourself?"

Even though she was overwhelmed by the majesty of the king in front of the Lion King, Erica still showed her proper demeanor in front of Yi Guang. Much better to speak than that "Pendragon".For the conversation, this is enough. Erica would rather negotiate with this man than have more conversations with that lady. The pressure is too great.

Could it be that this man is like a spokesperson for the outside world in the team?

"Me? I'm just a hermit who knows a little bit of martial arts and magic. Even if I report my name, no one will know, and I don't have a noble family inheritance like Artoria." Yi Guang also responded at this time, "If As you can see, we are just a small group that doesn't even count as a magician association. My two companions are not very good at communicating with people, so I will handle these matters. As for the name, you can Call me Lanza, a user of 'Blood Magic'."

While Yi Guang was introducing himself, a cloud of blood-like dark red liquid suddenly appeared around him, suspended in mid-air.From it, Erica could feel the obvious mana fluctuations.

Chapter 615 Blood Magic

"You can call me Lanza, a user of 'Blood Magic'."

Saying this to Erica, Yi Guang waved his hand and summoned a cloud of dark red liquid, proving that he was a magician who studied the so-called "blood magic"—as the name suggests, the so-called "blood magic" was of course human or The blood of animals is used as a medium to cast a branch of magic.Whether it is the "Moon World" where "Fate" is located or in this world of "God Slayer", this kind of magic exists.After all, this branch of magic also has historical prototypes in the real world.Among the "demonology" circulating in the European Middle Ages, there are many so-called "black magic" that use blood as a medium, and this is probably the origin of the "blood magic" in these two virtual worlds.

Because the concept of "divinity" is not a fun thing in this world with "God Slayers", and the power of "beast nature", which is very violent at first sight, is even more frightening, so Yi Guang can only choose Disguise against the power of "blood" that the magicians of this world can accept, and negotiate with them.As for the source of this power, it naturally comes from the original "Curse of Blood". After integrating his own power, the part of Yi Guang who is a "human" has the power to control "blood".

From the concept of mysticism, "blood" can represent not only the covenant between "human beings" and "God", but also the temptation of "darkness" to lead people to fall.It was a god's ritual, and it was also the whisper of a demon, and it was appropriate to represent the "humanity" between "divinity" and "beast".At the same time, after seeing Yi Guang revealing this power, Erica, who is a person in the magic world, did not show any expression of disgust or fear, only simple surprise.

"Blood magic...is there still such a thing?" Erica couldn't help being a little surprised when she saw the power demonstrated by Yi Guang, "First it was 'Pendragon', and now it's 'Blood Magic', aren't you old antiques who popped out of nowhere? How old are you this year?"

"Wait a minute, since it's called 'Blood Magic', doesn't that mean... the magic of manipulating blood?" Compared to Erika's questioning of Hiko's age, Kusanagi Godou, who is an ordinary person, also expressed surprise.But this student's perspective on things is very different from that of Erica, who is a magician. "Can control the existence of blood, isn't that the so-called 'vampire'?!"

"Sure enough, it's a layman... Although the legend of 'vampire' does come from the users of 'blood magic', it would be foolish to equate 'vampire' with 'blood magic' itself." Erica interrupted Kusanagi Godou’s completely layman’s speech, “In ancient times before the legend of ‘vampires’ began to prevail, ‘blood magic’ was already popular. In human civilization In the enlightenment stage of China, blood sacrifices to gods often appeared—the most famous ones were the blood sacrifice worship of the Mayans and Aztecs in Central America, as well as the living sacrifices in the Yin and Shang Dynasties of China. It is generally believed that such The blood sacrifice ceremony is the source of 'blood magic', and those priests who performed blood sacrifices to the gods are the original 'blood magicians'."

"Oh? Is that so?" Kusanagi Godou scratched his head, "Then, in other words, the 'Blood Magician' is not as scary as imagined?"

"Not necessarily. After all, magicians who use blood as a medium, like 'necromancers', they don't care much about human life, which is why they were later regarded as heretics." Erica shrugged, Then he looked at Yi Guang, "However, the descendants of the 'Pendragon' family, who are part of the 'Holy Grail Myth', will be mixed with the 'Blood Magician'. Is it because the times are really different?"

When new beliefs arise, old beliefs are naturally degraded as servants of the devil, just like those "witches" who were originally worshiped by the earth mother. "Blood magicians" were regarded as more evil and unclean than "witches" because they violated the church's commandment of "no shedding of human blood". They were hunted and killed more cruelly than "witches" in the Middle Ages. The story of "vampire" began to spread slowly since then, which is why "blood magic" has almost been lost in modern times.

However, the group of "magicians" has been at odds with the church for a long time, and their concepts are different from ordinary people.Therefore, for most "magicians", "blood magic" is just a relatively ancient and rare branch of magic, and they don't have any overly complicated ideas.After all, whether it is the Middle Ages or modern times, in the eyes of the church's magic stick, everyone is the same thing-"a group of people who play with the power of demons".

Although after the end of the era of church rule, magicians often appear in human society in the form of emerging nobles or capital consortiums, with a glamorous appearance and seemingly elegant noble etiquette, there is no need to worry about being like their predecessors. persecuted by the church.But this concept handed down from ancient times has not changed. After all, magicians are also researchers to a certain extent. Their pursuit of mystery and desire for powerful power make them inherently anti-human and anti-social. The fanaticism of "God of Disobedience" and "God Slayer" is a good proof of this point.

If you are full of curiosity and longing for the "God of Disobedience" and "Devil King" who symbolize "natural disasters" and the disappearance of countless lives, then "blood magic", a small-scale technology that uses the human body as an experiment and research object, can make magicians They naturally don't take it seriously.At most, it is the same as the "Necromancer", its position in the magic world is a little sensitive, and everyone is somewhat reluctant to put it on the table.But if it is really capable, it is not impossible to be recognized by mainstream magicians.

But to be reasonable, even if the "magicians" don't care, as the inheritor of "King Arthur" who has something to do with the church, and even as the main body of the "Legend of the Holy Grail", he can still compete with the "Blood Magician" among magicians. They are all non-mainstream guys mixed together, shouldn't it be?What about your faith?Where's your chivalry?

"It doesn't matter what kind of power you use, what matters is people's hearts. Power itself has no position." Hearing what Erica said, the Lion King snorted slightly, and then expressed his opinion, "This Although a man can't be considered a good person, he is definitely not a mean and sinister person, why can't I act with him?"

"Uh, I'm sorry, I'm just a little curious." Erica immediately realized her broken promise, "But I don't think that neither Mr. Pendragon nor Mr. Lanza, who is the servant, will give up because of the little girl. Blame it for a momentary slip of the tongue?"

Well, I have to say that although Erica is a very nice girl, she is also an excellent knight.But her somewhat familiar and self-talking character is indeed a bit of a headache, so she adds a label of "Yi Cong" to Yi Guang.Probably because she felt that Yi Guang, as an ordinary magician, could get along with the descendants of "Pendragon" and the seventh "King", probably because he was working as a diplomat and servant in the team. .In the circle of nobles and magicians, this kind of thing is quite common. The only thing that is a bit unconventional is that this group seems to be a servant and two masters, which is very rare.

"Of course not, we are not such narrow-minded people." Yi Guang smiled, as if acquiescing to his identity as "Yi Cong", "And to be honest, if we are unknown people like us, if we want to To gain a foothold in the world of magic, one must have contacts from famous families..."

As he said that, Yi Guang looked at Erica, with a very obvious hint: If we talk about a famous family in the magic world, isn't Erica in front of me a worthy candidate?

"So, is this the cooperation you mentioned before?" Erica's eyes moved slightly, "Indeed, in the name of the Browntree family, you can be quickly accepted by the magic world, but...why?"

"Huh?" Yi Guang frowned, "Why did you choose you?"
