Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

Chapter 353 [Death Whispering Demon·Mourner]!

After upgrading [Abyss] to the fourth level of destiny and obtaining the profession "Demon Mentor", Luo Xiu has obtained the qualifications to summon and contract demons.

And he has also prepared for the next summoning - the necessary knowledge for the summoning ceremony, the materials as the spiritual base, and the soul to be sacrificed, Luo Xiu has prepared everything.

His eyes then looked at the obsidian cage in front of him, a dim deep purple glow lit up in his pupils, and his fingers were already gently stroking the wall of the storage bracelet.

A group of dead and silent things emitting deep dark mist was slowly taken out of the bracelet by Luo Xiu.

——[Death Birth Crystal Block (Legend)]!

It was the drop obtained when purifying the "Death Birth God Heir" nearly a month ago.

There were originally two "legendary" quality crystals. After one was given to Saint Deacon Hubert, the other was taken by Luo Xiu and kept until now.

It was Luo Xiu's long-determined plan to use the "legendary" quality Death Birth Crystal for the summoning of demons!

In Luo Xiu's hand, the heterogeneous black crystal was emitting a deep, dark, dim light.

Even though it had been some time since it was obtained from the collapsed body of the "Death Birth God Heir", the death spirit contained in it was still quite rich.

The spiritual strands condensed from actual death were wriggling on the smooth surface like an undercurrent. Just touching it with fingers and holding it lightly with the palm, the overly cold touch still made Luo Xiu's skin feel a burst of obvious tingling.

That was the breath of aging and apoptosis... Luo Xiu held it in his hand and gently placed this sealed death object into the obsidian cage in front of him.

Then, he pulled both hands out, and his right hand was holding a colorful dagger that had been "engraved in the abyss", and his left hand was holding the blade tightly.

——Shh!

The dagger was pulled out from the clenched palm, and blood hung on the blade and swam on the surface of the blade, dyeing the colorful colors with layers of bright red——

The blood also gathered from Luo Xiu's palm and dripped on the surface of the "Death Birth Spirit Crystal", dispersing the dark mist on it a little, and the deeper, more surging, scarlet-colored death mist also instantly dispersed from the Death Birth Spirit Crystal!

At this point, the blood contract resonance with the summoning spirit base and the "Death Birth Spirit Crystal" has been established. At the same time, Luo Xiu's mind appeared with the skills and knowledge related to "Demon Summoning". He has also retracted the dagger in his hand, and his fingers are rubbing on the mithril ring that encapsulates the soul.

The skill of "Soul Manipulator" was activated, and dozens of dark purple spiritual tentacles were pulled out from the ring surface, dragging out a group of deep red soul light balls.

——That was the soul of "Order Killer" Velino Bakar!

The soul of a [Supreme] fifth-level destiny extraordinary person was enough to sacrifice to the "devil".

The soul manipulator dragged Velino's soul light ball to the obsidian cage. At the same time, more and more soul manipulators dragged many triple and quadruple destiny extraordinary people's souls from Luo Xiu's mithril ring and took them to the cage.

That was all the souls that Luo Xiu was going to sacrifice to the "devil".

While restraining and blending those soul light balls into a whole, the scarlet mist that was dispersed from the Death Birth Spirit Crystal had also spread to its strongest.

Dark purple light burst out and bloomed in Luo Xiu's pupils--

With Luo Xiu as the center, several rings of ritual arrays engraved with ancient and strange patterns quickly bloomed to the surroundings!

The rings surpassed the obsidian cage, and the outline was covered with mottled light and shadows that were sometimes broken and sometimes complete. An invisible and terrifying spiritual surge quickly condensed in the cage, and the trembling breath became more and more violent!

At this point, Luo Xiu stood still, raised his arms slightly, and prayed:

"——I use the remains of the dead as a cup;"

"——I use the pure soul as a sacrifice!"

"——I offer my body, my heart, and my spirit."

"——I crave the blasphemous peek!"

"——I crave the deep glimpse!"

"——I crave the true name of the deceased!"

"..."

The voice of his prayer was clear at first, then gradually became low and blurred, as if several identical prayers were uttered by the same person, and his voice became illusory and overlapping.

When Luo Xiu finished reciting the four sentences of the prayer, he heard an inhuman but understandable voice in his ears:

"——[Mourner]"

——Buzz! ! !

At the same time, in front of Luo Xiu, in the obsidian cage, there was a violent tremor, accompanied by a very strong buzzing!

The spirit crystal of death was broken, and the last trace of the source of death was extracted from it; all the souls also dissipated, and their spiritual essences were fully mobilized and eaten up.

All the invisible things and immaterial energy have been mixed together, forming a turbid mass that is constantly changing, rising and falling, and transforming. Finally, it is completely opened and contracted, turning into a huge, dark cocoon-

At the moment when the "cocoon" appeared, Luo Xiu's heart suddenly felt a strong throbbing.

The deep malice came like a tide and swallowed him in an instant.

Something deeper and darker than death emerged, making Luo Xiu feel extremely cold, and his fingertips began to tremble slightly.

But he was still praying, praying over and over again, to maintain the complete process of "summoning".

The light of the ritual array around him became more and more dazzling, and the dark cocoon in front of him was still rising, approaching a certain extreme point.

...

Until a crack appeared.

Gray light shone through the pores of the shell, and the originally surging spirituality in it also returned to quiet and invisible at the moment the gray light spread out.

In an instant.

The shell of the cocoon faded like melting mud, and the existence that had been summoned stood in it, with four different-colored eyes looking at everything around without emotion.

He is the devil, the real devil!

It is a completely gray slender body, and His face is a perfect oval, with four eyes opening like a seal, and below are slender and thin lips with a gray metallic luster like glaze, tightly closed.

The sharp horns symbolizing the devil protruded from His forehead, and on them burned flames intertwined with black and gray. And below his head, on his neck, which was twice as long as a human's and twice as thin, he wore four shackle-like rings, engraved with ancient, glittering words.

His body was covered with overlapping veils, with four arms extending outward from both sides, and two pairs of bloodless palms clasped together, one facing up and the other facing down, maintaining a posture that looked like a ritual.

As for his lower body, it was a gradually illusory figure. Luo Xiu couldn't see his feet, which looked like a ghost, and in Luo Xiu's eyes, he was floating in the air.

——[Deathrattle Demon·Mourner]!

That was his name, the name that appeared on the panel.

"...I come to mourn the dead."

He uttered a dry, thin lament, and his four eyes opened at the same time, his lips humming:

"It's a human..."

"I haven't seen a human before...but...I am familiar with the smell of you."

"It's just that here...there is no impending death."

"I am very sad, and I am also very hungry..."

He murmured these, and his four rolling eyeballs suddenly stopped, looking straight at Luo Xiu, uttering a terrifying death language:

"...Are you a corpse, or food?"

--Hua La La! ! !

When the mourner asked the last question, Luo Xiu vaguely saw that the scene in front of him was distorted.

At the same time, his spirit fell into a weak depression, but soon recovered.

This made Luo Xiu quickly realize that--

[Death Language Demon·Mourner], He attacked him the first moment he was summoned!

Although Luo Xiu possessed the [Abyss] affinity specialty "Evil Eclipse Bloodline", he knew that [Deathrattle Demon·Mourner] would not really regard him as an enemy, but not regarding him as an enemy did not mean that he would not attack him - this was the nature of things born in the "Abyss", and malice was their most restrained instinct.

He cursed himself with an instant death curse of "depth", but this curse had no effect on Luo Xiu, only making him slightly dazed.

Because of the effect of the "epic" quality specialty "Death Praiser", Luo Xiu was immune to all curses of depth and below. But there will still be some residual effects, but it is not a big deal.

It is precisely because of the existence of the "Death Praiser" specialty, as well as the powerful curse bonus specialties such as "Erosion Curse Wrist", and the blessing of the "Legendary" quality staff "Death Lament".

The category of "Demons" that Luo Xiu can best control and can play the most extraordinary role is this kind of "Death" affinity demons.

In addition, with the Death Birth Spirit Crystal dropped by the "Death Birth God" as a medium, Luo Xiu was basically certain that the demon he summoned would be related to "death", and the result was indeed as he expected.

...

After enduring a "curse", Luo Xiu still maintained a calm and indifferent attitude, and looked into the eyes of the mourner.

The "mourner" seemed a little surprised.

The "instant death" curse he performed had no effect at all. The "human" in front of him seemed to be a little beyond his expectations.

That was different from the slaves in the "Seven Abyss" who were only worthy of being kept in captivity and only worthy of being used as food for the demons. The mourner smelled the breath of his own kind, and felt a faint admiration, awe and... fear for this breath.

And when his oval face twisted slightly, and he was still thinking about something, he heard the "human" in front of him speak lightly:

"You are doing something you shouldn't do, 'devil'."

Immediately, Luo Xiu's arm, which had not been lowered, was slightly raised.

He opened his palm at the same time, and a handful of pitch-black flames leaped up from his palm!

The obsidian cage in front of him was burning with dark flames at the same time, quickly engulfing the [Deathrattle Demon]!

The flames had spread to his body, his four eyes began to tremble, and his body was shaking due to some discomfort.

The strong sense of oppression, far exceeding the pressure of his own "spiritual" level, directly shocked him and made him speechless.

The body of the demon was burning in this flame specifically targeting "demons", which was a kind of torture for him.

But for Luo Xiu, this was just a kind of "return" -

At the same time as the mourner cursed him, he "returned" the 200% effect of the instant death curse with the characteristics of his expertise "forbidden observer"!

The mourner has the ability to be immune to the death curse, but the venue for summoning him was chosen to be the "obsidian cage" because the cage has the effect of restraining the corresponding ability -

That is "deepening" and "suppression"!

The 200% instant death curse cannot kill the mourner, but it is enough to make him feel considerable shock and pain, which is enough to achieve Luo Xiu's purpose.

And in the flames of death burning.

Through the flames, the intermittent murmurs belonging to the "devil" came:

"——I understand."

"I will restrain... restrain the desire to feed on you."

"..."

He said this, Luo Xiu still stared at him with cold eyes, but he had extinguished the flames in his palms.

It was also quiet inside the cage.

"You will obey me, the demon named Mourning."

"I know what you are longing for, and I know what you are agitated by."

"What you are pursuing is this -"

As he spoke, Luo Xiu's fingers rubbed the bracelet at the same time and brought up a dark original book.

——"Sacred Scripture of the Abyss"!

Mobilize spirituality, gather it, and use the holy scriptures to stimulate the most profound and surging spiritual surge, which instantly envelopes and drowns the devil!

Right in Luo Xiu's eyes.

The demon was burned to the point of damage, and the broken body was repairing itself, but at the moment when the "Sacred Scripture of the Abyss" was shown to him, his four eyes suddenly widened, and a new voice came from his slender mouth:

"...This is it."

"...This is it."

“…what we are familiar with, what we have lost.”

"..."

As the mourner said this, Luo Xiu already knew what he wanted to know.

About [Abyss]——

Regarding the loose and broken seal, as well as the abyssal things that are constantly rising up from the ground, the source of all these is indeed the "Sacred Scripture of the Abyss"!

He thought quickly in his mind, connected them all, and then temporarily put them behind him.

He showed the "Sacred Scripture of the Abyss" to the "Mourners" for other purposes.

That is to rely on the personality of the "Sacred Code of the Abyss" to make up for the vacancy of the fourth level of destiny in the level of [Abyss], so that the "high-level devil" in front of him can be truly intimidated!

"Your roots are in my hands."

Looking directly at the devil, Luo Xiu said slowly:

"Follow me, make a contract with me - you have no choice."

"Think of what I'm going to share with you that none of the 'tyrants' could ever have."

"..."

"Can."

"The Mourner" nodded slightly, and his slender neck seemed to be creaking, making a soft sound.

"I will make a pact with you...blasphemer."

"Just offer me... a new death."

As he spoke, he spread his four slender palms together, stretched out one of them, and stretched out his fingers towards Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu also stretched out his hand and touched His fingers——

At the moment of contact, dark spiritual threads entangled and bit like snakes, and penetrated into both bodies at the same time.

That is a symbol of establishing a "contract" with the devil.

In Luo Xiu's panel, brand-new content immediately popped up——

[List of skills and characteristics]

[The memorial sacrifice of the dead (Deathrattle Demon and Divine Power): The Deathrattle Demon and the Mourner are immune to physical damage and will not truly die. The souls fed by the Deathrattle Demon, the Mourner, can "infuse" their power into corpses without souls. These corpses will be transformed into "dead souls", and the dead souls that have lost their spirituality will be under the absolute control of the mourners. 】

[The Curse of Death (Intrinsic Skill): Deathrattle Demon Mourner masters a series of death spells. The death curse performed by the mourner will add layers of "Dead Evil". If the "Curse" succeeds, it will add 2 layers. If the "Curse" fails, it will add 1 layer. When the "Death Evil" stack reaches 5 layers, it can be detonated. A "death curse" will cause an "original" wound to the target with a damage amount of 10% of its upper limit of life. 】

[Eruption of Deathrattle (Intrinsic Skill): The Deathrattle Demon·Mourner can apply a layer of "Deathrattle" to the target it attacks. This layer can be superimposed without limit. When the target subjected to "Deathrattle" loses a certain amount of blood, a "death" type curse with random effects and random intensity will be triggered according to the number of layers of "Deathrattle", and the effects of the curse will be spread around. If the target subjected to "Deathrattle" dies, all layers of "Deathrattle" will be detonated at once, causing a large-scale "corrosion" attribute damage to the surrounding area, and applying a deep "instant death" curse. 】

[Inanimate feeding (passive characteristic): Deathrattle demon·Mourner masters the cannibalization of souls. Creatures that are close to the mourner (except contractors) or creatures attacked by the mourner will have their souls eaten away until the complete soul is completely devoured - every time the mourner ingests a "complete soul", a certain amount of it will be restored instantly. "Health value" and "mana value" will gain a certain amount of attribute value increase, and this attribute value increase can be retained permanently. 】

[Contracted God (Contract Characteristics): This god is summoned by the contract and is subject to the restrictions of the contractor - in the current state, the maximum level with the contractor does not exceed 10 levels. If it exceeds the threshold, it will be dynamically adjusted to the threshold. ]
