I became the master of the alien world

Chapter 296 Collapse

"Yes, it was all my fault back then. It was me. I killed Stella with my own hands.

Later, because I didn't want to face such a cruel reality, I made up things that didn't exist out of thin air, blamed it all on Edward, and sealed my own memory."

Yorkby, who was lying on the ground, murmured to himself: "That girl, I used that girl to restore my past memories. Edward, am I really crazy?"

Yorkby slowly got up from the ground and walked towards Edward. The original murderous look on his face was no longer there, replaced by endless guilt.

Edward was holding Ellie and carefully checking her injuries.

However, when the sword was thrust out, it was interfered by Ellie's magic. In the end, the sword only stabbed the girl's shoulder. Although the injury was serious, it was not life-threatening.

"Edward, you should know better than me what happened back then, but why didn't you tell me? Are you pitying me?" Yorkby, standing next to Edward, said to Edward, his tone full of confusion.

"No, what happened back then has passed. What's more, it was such a painful past. For me now, I just hope that I can forget it forever. Unfortunately, it backfired... The reason why I don't mention it anymore is because..."

Edward looked at Yorkby and said, "You are my most respected senior brother, and also my best brother and friend. No matter what happens, this fact will not change."

"You, you really don't hate me? Even if I killed Stella back then?"

Edward shook his head and said: "It's hard to recover from the past. Let the past go by. No matter how entangled the painful past is, it will only increase the sadness. The past can no longer be undone. We must look forward.

By the way, Yorkby, what happened to you after you fell off the cliff? Who added the magic of immortality to your body?"

"This is a long story. When I fell off the cliff, I didn't die immediately for some reason.

My consciousness gradually became blurry, but I still subconsciously repeated Stella's name.

At that time, a man in black came to me and asked me if I wanted revenge or death.

I didn't think much and blurted out that I wanted revenge, and then he saved me."

"Who is that person?"

"I don't know, but when he came to see me one time, he dropped a badge here." Yorkby said, taking out a palm-sized dark silver badge from his pocket and handing it to Edward.

Edward took it and looked at it. There was a strange symbol engraved on it, which seemed like a ceremonial badge, but Edward couldn't remember it for a moment.

"Then what do you think about the origin of saving this man?" Edward put the badge in his pocket and continued to ask.

"Well, although I'm not very clear about this, the feeling he gave me... ah!" Yorkby suddenly fell to the ground mid-sentence, with a very painful expression on his face.

"What's the matter, Yorkby?" Edward asked after seeing Yorkby's painful look.

"Run away, Edward. Take your friends and get out of here, quickly!" Yorkby said painfully.

"What happened?"

"I, I...ah!" After Yorkby screamed, countless tentacles suddenly appeared from behind him, quickly wrapping him up and expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a few seconds, a huge monster appeared in front of Edward.

"Sacrifice the Blood Demon! Someone cast a sacrificial contract on him. And now that person is using magic to make the contract effective.

This will summon the Sacrifice Blood Demon, and the scary thing is that the Sacrifice Blood Demon will gradually eat away at the contractor's body."

Ellie, who had woken up, looked at the monster and said.

I saw the sacrificial blood demon suddenly shooting out several tentacles from his side to attack Edward. Edward immediately raised his sword to block the tentacle closest to him, then picked up Ellie and jumped back to see if he could avoid the sacrificial blood.

Demonic attack.

"What kind of monster is this?"

"I once read about the magic of ritual creatures in the teacher's book. That is, the caster offers certain things as sacrifices according to certain rules, so that the corresponding monster can be summoned for his own use. But because of these

Monsters are very powerful, so the ritual process usually requires a high price."

"What is it?"

"Usually various living creatures, blood, and sometimes even the caster's own soul and body.

The sacrifice to the blood demon must be at the cost of the caster's own body before it can be summoned.

But some people actually use the rules of the magic contract to sacrifice other people. In this way, the other person will become a sacrifice to the blood demon, but the caster himself can be safe and sound."

"Damn it, there is such a person. Is there any way to save Yorkby?"

After Ellie looked at Edward, she shook her head.

"No, it won't. There must be a way, there must be a way to save Yorkby. Wake up quickly, don't be manipulated by that monster!" Edward yelled at the Sacrificial Blood Demon.

"It's useless, he can't hear your voice. Yorkby has now become a sacrifice to the blood demon, and his body no longer belongs to him."

"No, I don't believe it! Yorkby, he will hear it."

At this time, the Sacrifice Blood Demon had approached them again, and countless tentacles shot at them again.

"Edward, be careful!" Seeing that Edward was at a loss for sacrificing the blood demon, Ellie flew in front of Edward and instantly formed a dark black barrier.

"Chaos Barrier, please protect us!" Countless tentacles were actually blocked by this black barrier.

Due to Ellie's previous injuries and the use of advanced dark defense barriers, she collapsed to the ground after blocking the attack of the blood demon, and blood continued to flow from her wounds and the corners of her mouth.

"Ellie, are you okay? Cheer up and don't let anything happen!" Edward shouted anxiously when he saw Ellie forcefully used magic to block attacks for herself regardless of her injuries in order to protect herself.

"Damn, damn monster." I saw Edward pushing his fighting spirit to the extreme. The golden fighting spirit not only completely enveloped the Shadow Oath, but also completely enveloped Edward's body. "Look at the move, the demon will slash in succession!

"

I saw countless sharp blades made of powerful fighting spirit, flying towards the target, cutting the opponent into pieces in the next second.

Just when the grudge was about to hit the target, the Sacrifice Blood Demon released countless tentacles from his side and wrapped his body tightly to resist Edward's attack.

Along with a huge sound, the fighting spirit finally hit the sacrificial blood demon.

"Did it succeed?" Edward looked ahead. The large amount of smoke and dust produced by the explosion prevented him from seeing the specific situation clearly, but Edward was very aware of the power of the sword he just struck.

"It should have been solved."

Just as Edward was gasping for air, countless tentacles flew out of the smoke and accurately hit Edward's chest.

Fortunately, the armor on Edward's body was hard enough, and the strong fighting spirit on his body greatly strengthened Edward's defensive capabilities. Otherwise, Edward would probably have died.

But even so, the strong impact still made Edward unable to stand up in pain.

At this time, Edward saw the Sacrificial Blood Demon slowly walking through the smoke. Like himself, the enemy had also suffered considerable damage in the previous battle.

However, what is frightening is that the blood demon of sacrifice actually recovers its body at a speed visible to the naked eye just like Yorkby. In just a few seconds, the body of the blood demon of sacrifice completely recovered.

Then he stretched out countless tentacles again and pounced on Edward.

[It seems like it’s really over this time.] Although Edward tried his best to dodge the tentacle’s attack, he had no strength to dodge its attack due to the previous damage he suffered.

Just when Edward had given up, the Sacrificial Blood Demon suddenly stopped attacking.

At the same time, another head popped out from his huge body.

"Yorkby, is that you?" Seeing the sacrificed blood demon suddenly stop attacking, Edward also noticed something strange.

"Yes. Edward, my friend!"

"Great, Yorkby, you're still alive!" Seeing Yorkby's consciousness reappear, Edward's face immediately showed an excited look.

"Listen, Edward. I, I can no longer control this body." Yorkby struggled with an extremely painful expression on his pale face, "This monster was summoned using my body. He

It is also immortal.

But that person seemed to be a little careless. After being swallowed by this monster, I still retained a residual consciousness.

So now I have gained his control again. Listen carefully, there is no immortal existence in this world. Everything is just an illusion of nothingness. The only weakness of this body is here."

As he spoke, a huge hole suddenly opened in the chest of the sacrificed blood demon, with a black crystal engraved with runes embedded in it.

That piece of crystal looked familiar, exactly the same as the one in the chest of the Ghost Bone Dragon that Edward killed at the Magic Trial Field some time ago.

"What on earth is this?" After seeing the crystal, Edward recalled the appearance of the Ghost Bone Dragon that put him in a tough fight on the training ground.

"This is a regeneration crystal created using the forbidden spell in the Book of the Living.

It can continuously absorb the souls and bodies of the surrounding dead, and then convert them into its own energy.

It is because of it that my body becomes immortal."

"Then what do you want me to do?"

"Kill me, smash that crystal. You can kill me. In this way, the demon parasitizing on me will disappear completely. So, Edward, use your sword, please use your sword to kill me, just like

"Atonement"

"No, I already lost Stella back then, and I still have many relatives. I don't want to lose you again."

"Don't be stupid, Edward, I, I should be the one who deserves to die.

It is because of my own selfishness that I continue to live in this world. All things happen because of me.

So now I have to repay the mistakes I made." At this moment, the sacrificed blood demon suddenly began to shake violently, "Quick! There is no time. I, I can no longer control him, no, no time,

It’s time. Do it quickly!

Edward, I am satisfied to die by your sword..."

I saw that the body of the blood demon sacrificed was shaking more and more violently at this time, and the human head that had appeared on his body had begun to slowly sink into his body.

"Yorkby! No!"

Edward shouted, then he raised the Shadow Oath in his hand and used all his strength to slash at the Sacrificial Blood Demon. The Shadow Oath stabbed the crystal accurately and instantly shattered to the ground. At this time, tears were streaming down his face...

…

"Hahahaha, it's not that easy to control me!" After Edward shattered the crystal, Yorkby said his last words in this world to Edward, "Thank you very much, my forever friend, thank you for being my best friend."

All done, Edward Trent, farewell!"

Without the support of the regeneration crystal, the enlarged Divine Comedy sacrificed to the Blood Demon began to squirm and split, and the entire basement began to burn and explode with the huge impact.

Before leaving, Edward took a deep look at the decomposing Yorkby, his eyes full of regret and reluctance.

"Farewell, Yorkby." Edward used his last strength to pick up the unconscious Ellie and quickly fled the castle.

A few days later, Edward, still covered in bandages, returned to the completely collapsed castle.

He stood in front of the ruins, silently looking at everything that had long since disappeared.

He knew that Yorkby's mention was buried in these ruins.

After a long time, Edward pulled out the black shadow oath from his back, raised it high above his head, and shouted to the sky: "I! Edward Trendo, swear with the honor of a warrior, I will never, never let anyone leave me again.

, we will never let such a tragedy happen again!"

In the days after Edward and Ellie left, Merlin, who stayed in the Silent Temple, was not idle either.

On the contrary, he was so busy that he almost went crazy.

Because Hajia, another great mage of the temple, left the temple in order to investigate the anomalies that occurred during the trial, this resulted in all the affairs of the entire temple being placed on Merlin alone.

For Merlin, who always hated taking care of things, this was nightmarish news.

If it weren't for his extremely strong mental power as a great mage, which allowed him to ensure enough rest, he would probably be overwhelmed by the heavy workload within a few days.

About a month after Hajia left the temple, Merlin suddenly received a letter from Hajia.

The letter said that he had discovered an astonishing secret and asked Merlin to send invitations to all magic unions, including the other two holy places, as soon as possible in the name of the Silent Temple.

Invite their major magisters to the Silent Temple for discussion. He will return to the Temple in a week and explain the whole story to everyone.

After following the requirements in the letter and sending invitation letters to the other two magic holy places, Merlin finally felt relieved.

Rather than the consequences of the abnormality that occurred during the trial, Merlin was more concerned about the fact that Hajia would be back soon.

"The troubles these days have finally come to an end." This was Merlin's sigh after sending the last letter.
