Pastor's Tantra

"Oops!"

Aiwass's expression changed, and he suddenly realized that he had made a huge omission!

In other words, his desire for transcendence confused his heart... and made him forget an important detail.

The contract he initially signed was with [Shadow Demon].

Because of this, when Shadow Demon was upgraded to [Night Demon], Aiwass's contract was over!

The contract ends and disintegrates on its own - and the invisible chain between Aiwass and Night Stalker will disappear.

According to the normal process, the night demon was expelled back to the dream world by the apostle of Sand Time.

After that, only Aiwass used the ritual directed at the Night Demon and spent a lot of power to briefly summon the Night Demon back to the living world - and this was only when the Night Demon actively responded to the summons.

According to Xian Xia's words, Night Demon has already passed the heavenly tribulation and is about to be forced to ascend.

The entry suffix of the upper-level phantom [priority +1] is "divinity". In a sense, the upper-level phantom is a god, or at least a demigod. Their power far exceeds the limits of the world, and they can only stay in the material world for a short time. Otherwise, you may incur the hostility of Sand Timepiece.

The Tiansi who were pulled down by the Ring of Ending Ceremony can themselves be regarded as victims. But even so, their existence will still be targeted by Sand Time Watch; not to mention those loose upper-level phantoms that are neither apostles nor Tiansi, and have no "establishment" and dare to take the initiative to go down to the lower world.

Aiwass now only has the third-level demon scholar profession, and it is absolutely impossible to successfully sign a contract with a high-level demon.

Demonologist, a low-level profession that can reach up to the third level at most, does not have that level of power!

This is basically equivalent to signing a contract with the gods!

The Night Demon, who has abilities in three fields at the same time, is indeed a god in a sense!

——But the demon scholar can’t do it, but the sin scholar who can seal the true god can!

"I don't want to leave, Master..."

Vignes hugged Aiwass tightly from behind.

She made an ethereal and hoarse voice, like a doll whispering: "Seal me..."

"Like the Flame-Contrary Butterfly... sealed into the tarot cards!"

Aiwass looked at Vines's face... Her expression was as if the game console was suddenly taken away and lifted up by her parents while she was concentrating on playing a game. 6̾̾

Her delicate and pale face lacked expression, but her eyes were filled with intense uneasiness and fear.

The scarlet blood streaks on her face looked like broken ceramics, with a strong sense of fragmentation.

"Don't worry, I won't let you go."

Aiwass did not laugh, but said extremely seriously: "I have already said... you are my little bird.

"And I... am your birdcage."

——No one can take you away from me!

Aiwass turned on the lamp and relit the candle.

He quickly started the preparations for making the card.

If the Night Demon is let go at this time... and Vignes is allowed to see Fallen Sky Division, maybe Aiwass won't be able to summon her back!

——You know, Fallen Sky Secretary was almost pulled down by the "shepherd" of the previous generation!

He must have been extremely hostile to the art of pastoral care.

The Shadow Demon was directly promoted to the Night Demon without any permission from the Fallen Heaven Division. Once he was a little curious, he could realize what Aiwass had done.

Now it's too late to summon the candle's apostle to ask what tarot cards are suitable for Night Demon.

...Of course, even if Aiwass summons Zhu Zhu's apostle before the evolution ceremony, he may not get the answer. Because the cards suitable for Shadow Demon at that time must be different from the cards suitable for Night Demon later.

The contract within Aiwass's body has collapsed, and the Night Demon is now ownerless. The descending apostle may be sent back to the dream world at any time.

"Vignes," Aiwass quickly shuffled the remaining cards and said softly, "it's up to you.

"Draw out with me...the two cards that belong to you. The two cards that are best for you."

This is the closest thing to "divination". You can choose the most suitable card for the Night Demon by relying only on your inner perception.

Night Stalker put his hand on Aiwass's. That dark, sharp, hook-like hand made Aiwass feel a strange coldness and smoothness.

Just like the humid wind on the seaside at night.

"The first card represents yourself. You draw it yourself."

Aiwass said softly, and together with Night Demon, they pushed the Tarot cards horizontally and opened them.

Night Demon relied on instinct and selected one of them.

Ligeia immediately came over to take a look, and Yanis also saw the card Aiwas chose from the painting. Only Yulia was still sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at Aiwass worriedly but somewhat gloomily.

"——The devil in reverse position."

Ligeia whispered: "It makes sense."

"Then there is the second card, which can suppress your power and represents the Pillar God..."

Aiwass said nervously.

There are only nine cards representing the Pillar God, and one of them has been taken away by the Butterfly. The probability of accurately drawing a card belonging to the Pillar God among the remaining cards is not very high...unless this is indeed a "divination" skill triggered by their spirituality.

Then, Aiwass turned over the tarot card.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

"...a true lover."

Aiwass said softly: "The card belonging to the twin mirror... is reasonable."

The Shadow Demon as "Bayard" lost its brand of rage because it devoured itself as the Son of the Moon; and it was precisely because it devoured its past self again during the promotion ceremony hosted by the twin mirrors that it regained its Received the Jealousy Brand.

As the superior demon of the Mirror Demon, the Night Demon is also somewhat conceptually connected to the "Mirror".

Use [Lover] to suppress [Devil]!

Aiwass immediately used the remaining ritual materials in the room to start making cards.

Because he had already prepared the materials for the Sin Card that Shadow Demon would use, Aiwass made them very quickly.

But during production, Aiwass was already frowning.

He still remembered that his dark attribute mana pool only had an upper limit of 44 points.

Because he has never considered the problem that the contract will be invalidated after the Shadow Demon turns into a Night Demon... No matter what, Aiwass must get the remaining six points of dark attribute mana immediately.

Every path has a way to restore mana.

The path of consecration is prayer, but the mana of dark attributes cannot be restored through prayer - the mana used by the pastoral flesh and blood of the path of consecration is the mana of the priest profession, and the mana attributes that can be restored by prayer are also the same.

As for the dark attribute mana, Aiwass basically never used it up.

Apart from the initial card creation, it was only used when using Pastoral Essence on Lily.

The way to regain mana beyond the path is to sacrifice. Restore mana to yourself by sacrificing the lives of others.

But it was impossible for Aiwass to trigger the evil—he had sworn an oath.

At this moment, Night Demon already felt uneasy. The world is rejecting Him, and Sand Time has noticed His presence.

... Damn it, what should I do?

Big deal...

Aiwass gritted his teeth and held the wrist of his left hand with his right hand.

Ligeia seemed to realize something, and her pupils suddenly shrank.

...Offering his left arm to get a little extra mana...maybe it works.

Anyway, there should be a way to grow it back in the future. There are several ways he can think of now...

But the question is, is one of my arms worth six mana points? To whom should I sacrifice?

But at this moment, Aiwass looked up at the "Lovers Card" that had just been drawn out on the table, looked up at the floor-length mirror in the bedroom, and was suddenly stunned for a moment...realized that another one was more... Good solutions are at hand.

——Is this also what you expected, twin mirror?

Therefore, Aiwass first prayed extremely devoutly to Si Zhu, quickly recovering the mana he had consumed in the pastoral ceremony just now.

Although it does not consume much on its own, it does consume a lot including the treatment provided by the Fire Sacrifice Technique. Fortunately, I can use the last prayer today to restore my status to full.

When his mana was replenished, Aiwass ran to the mirror in two steps and prayed loudly:

"I pray for the twin mirrors! The God whose number is two, the God who has no eyes and no self, the God who is pure and flawless——

"I am you..."

As the mirror surface glowed, Aiwass rushed directly into the mirror.

Another Aiwass in the mirror rushed out, and the two voices overlapped for a moment: "You are me——"

The shadow becomes reality, the body becomes nothing.

Another Aiwass with scarlet pupils appeared from the mirror.

——As mentioned before, the three-attribute mana pool of the Moon Child form does not correspond one-to-one with the human form of Aiwass. Instead, add them all up and divide by three.

In other words, after Aiwass switches to the Moon Child form, the two mana powers of other attributes that he has not used up can be balanced to make up for the missing part.

Aiwass's mana pool is 52 light attributes, 44 dark attributes, and 55 fire attributes.

After averaging, no more, no less, just enough!

So Aiwass put the two tarot cards together upside down, facing each other.

Dark attribute mana is continuously injected like a whirlpool... After more than five points of mana, the card has been completely torn into pieces. This is why there is no need for too precious card-making materials.

And a dark purple, vague outline of a card was held in Aiwass's hand.

So Aiwass started singing again, calling the twin mirrors for the second time:

"I pray for the twin mirrors! The God whose number is two, the God who has no eyes and no self, the God who is pure and flawless——

"Please take care of my heart and make it as pure as a mirror..."

"——I respectfully invite Fallen Heaven Secretary!"

Aiwass did not pause and declared loudly: "The sinful Tiansi, the fallen Tiansi!

"I have understood my sin, and I am willing to bear the mark of jealousy!"

The prayer ended on its own due to an error, but two completely different auras had already poured into the hands of Aiwass in the Moon Child state——

update completed!

I haven't finished writing the six thousand words... I originally wanted to finish writing the seal in one go today and ask for leave tomorrow, but it seems I can't ask for leave tomorrow. It's not a good idea to be stuck here and ask for leave. I'd better not ask for leave tomorrow and continue updating...

Please wait until you finish writing this paragraph!

Then sacrifice a book, written by a book friend, to renew the life of the cat!
