Pastor's Tantra

As Aiwass chanted, the space around him fell into complete silence in an instant.

As brilliant colors as oil paints were applied to the space, the "contrast" of Aiwass's whole body suddenly began to rise sharply, and his whole body became bright and prominent.

The next moment, Aiwass's right neck, left chest, and abdomen turned bright red.

It wasn't the dark red color of blood... but more like ketchup, or liquid fire.

In an instant, Aiwass' whole body suddenly shattered, and his painting style and tone returned to normal. And the sound returns too.

At this moment, his whole body was covered with shallow cracks that were about to crack, and the ethereal breath coming from the twin mirrors overflowed from the wounds all over his body. The cracks all over the body were soaked in white light.

Those three wounds are three doors.

Like three moons with different phases, clear moonlight oozes out during the rotation.

The dark and cold aura belonging to the Fallen Sky Division penetrated from below Aiwass, constantly intertwined with the moonlight, and filled in the illusory purple card outline.

The black and purple auras are intertwined, constantly modulating, condensing, and gathering.

Aiwass softly called Night Demon's name: "Night Demon... Vignes, my little crow.

"I am calling your name right now, branding you with jealousy.

"From now on, my life is your life, and my destiny is your destiny...

"——Obey me, the phantom of the path of transcendence!"

The voice of Aiwass in the form of Moonchild is soft and hoarse, like a whisper in the night.

Then, Aiwass and Night Demon solidified at the same time. The surroundings became quiet again and gradually darkened. Only the colors of Aiwass and Night Demon became clear and bright. Just like jewelry reflected in the moonlight under a dark night sky.

Aiwass's pupils are similar to Night Demon's scarlet color. The moment the two looked at each other, a black illusory chain emerged from Aiwass's heart and penetrated into the Night Demon's body.

That is the chain built by Aiwass's "soul" and "destiny".

Not something tough. Rather, it's quite the opposite... It's an extremely fragile chain that needs careful care.

If Night Demon struggled hard, just breaking the chain would be enough to cause Aiwass to be seriously injured in an instant.

But she didn't offer any resistance. Instead, she stood motionless and allowed Aiwass to connect with her soul and complete the resonance.

In an instant, Aiwass' vision turned black and he fell into the deep void of nothingness.

When Aiwass opened his eyes again, he saw himself appearing on the familiar yet unfamiliar streets of the empire.

But the person standing on the street was not Bayard, whom Aiwass knew well, but a black-haired girl who was even younger than Yulia.

The young girl walked slowly alone in the rain. Her wet pupils were clear and soft, trembling like an abandoned puppy. She was wearing a thin and delicate white dress and a large-brimmed straw hat on her head. She stretched out her hands to press her straw hat, but her long hair was still wet from the rain.

After seeing Bayard, people coming and going walked around on their own.

She walked forward in confusion. Those who were much taller than her were like two human walls, blocking the whole world in the misty rain. And that street seems to be endless, and you can't reach the end no matter how you walk. The figures on both sides seem to stretch to the end of the world, and you can't see the edge no matter how you look up.

There was only the sound of rain in the whole world, and no one spoke to her.

The girl walked like this, and at some point she turned into a young lady with a cold face and an elegant temperament. It was still raining outside. The streets on the left and right sides have undergone subtle changes.

She was wearing a long skirt, and behind her was a servant holding an umbrella. He was still walking among the crowd, and the crowd still gave way to two human walls on the left and right.

But she walked down the street and still no one responded to her.

She walked again, stopped, and turned into the child of the moon with scarlet pupils. The servant behind her also disappeared. Slender white fingers were placed against his mouth, silent.

At some point, the surrounding rain turned into a rain of blood. The original dense crowd of people on the street gradually became fewer and fewer, and the shops on both sides of the street became shabby.

At this moment, a shadow suddenly rushed over from behind her, grabbed her and walked forward.

It was like she was polluted by shadows, with two-thirds of it turning into a pitch-black outline. Only one eye was left on the originally fair face. The other eye became a dangerous red light shining in the dark shadows.

That's another me!

She staggered forward following the fast-footed shadow, but a rare smile appeared on her face.

She happily chatted with the other party about something...but the shadow moved faster and faster, and she gradually couldn't keep up. Then she smiled and chose to give up and let go.

When Shadow suddenly felt a light touch in his hand, he turned around. She had turned into a pool of blood and melted into the rain of blood.

The two human walls have completely disappeared without a trace. The world has become so clean.

The blood rain just fell to the ground, and Shadow Demon kept looking back, bathing in the blood rain alone.

The streets were deserted, and only ruins after the war remained in the once prosperous streets.

Pure smoke evaporating like black dry ice emitted from her body, and two lines of blood slipped from her face. I don't know if it's tears or rain.

At this moment, she rubbed her eyes, looked at the sunless and moonless night sky, and covered her eyes with her hands.

She opened her mouth, but in the end nothing came out.

Because it's unnecessary.

There was no one around her. No one cares about her existence.

What is more tragic than the rage is that even the rage turned into nothingness.

At this moment, someone suddenly tapped her on the shoulder.

Shadow Demon turned around half vigilantly and half expectantly, and saw the white-robed priest holding a black umbrella.

The hem of Aiwass's robe was soaked with blood, like spray. The shadow under the umbrella only exposed half of his chin.

You can see the corners of his mouth rising slightly. He lowered his head and chuckled, moved his mouth slightly to say something, and moved his umbrella forward a little.

——That's a very small point.

Without letting myself get caught in the rain, I gave up a small amount of space.

When Shadow Demon turned around, she quickly began to change back to her previous appearance.

Shadow Demon, Moon Child, Missy, Little Girl...

In the end, she turned into the trembling girl in the white dress again, turned around and hugged Aiwass.

Aiwass did not reach out to hug her, but lowered his gaze with compassion and tenderness.

"Vignes, my little crow."

Aiwass's voice came out clearly for the first time in that bloody night.

The next moment, the red curtain closed again.

The whole world was immersed in a sea of ​​blood.

When Aiwass woke up again, he appeared in a maze of mirrors.

Countless broken mirrors surrounded him, each containing a fragment of Vignes, or Bayard, at different times.

All of them looked at Aiwass, showing different but sincere smiles.

Aiwass raised his hand.

Not reaching forward, but holding it high.

A huge, horizontal black magic circle was instantly generated from the ground, rising rapidly upwards.

Under the reflection of the magic circle, the virtual images in the mirrors disappeared instantly.

The magic circle quickly flew into the sky, and a crow pattern appeared in the sky.

A dark circular mark was imprinted on the middle circle, covering the crow.

In an instant, the magic circle began to collapse from the outermost ring.

It shrank round and round, and finally only the black ring about the height of a person was left in the middle.

The crow pattern inside fluttered its wings slightly, raised its head and shouted silently and excitedly.

Aiwass opened his eyes again and found that the Night Demon had disappeared without a trace.

The crow ring, only one palm in diameter, appeared in front of Aiwass and was level with the ground.

And two brand new Tarot cards were slowly printed out of the void, one up and one down, and appeared on the upper and lower sides of the ring.

The dark electric light was connected between the two cards, like some kind of magnetic force attracting them gradually closer.

The original [Lovers] card showed a naked man and a woman coming together under the guidance of an angel, with two trees behind them symbolizing fertility and taboo.

The new lovers card, under the string control of a wizard in a white robe, approached the emperor and queen like puppets. The card faces were similar but opposite like mirror images. Countless overlapping doors opened all around, and a path of light shone behind it.

The devil card originally looked like a horned devil with red skin sitting on a throne. It looked at the slave who was bound by iron chains and controlled by itself, and showed a cruel smile. And those slaves have grown the symbols of the devil - horns and tails.

The new devil card is just a three-eyed white goat standing on a huge penis. Its spiraling horns resemble two strands of DNA, pointing toward the sky.

Finally, as the two cards gradually formed and became clear, they slowly moved closer to the middle.

The moment the two cards were closely combined, it suddenly burst into a burst of bright brilliance.

It turned into a thin card like black crystal.

The shape of a crow is outlined in blood-like crimson on the card.

Cold, cruel, mysterious.

It rotated and soon stopped obediently in front of Aiwass.

Aiwass stretched out his right hand, lightly tapped on the card, and wrote his name.

Its properties were immediately apparent.

[Major Sin: Night Demon (Lover, Devil)]

[Level: 50]

[Beyond the road, dark attributes]

The sixth energy level, the upper level phantom.

The true destructive power - a powerful helper in defeating the Fallen Sky Division!

Aiwass took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and checked the attributes of this card.

The Sin Card cannot be "burned" to restore the number of uses, but its front and back sides can be used once per day.

Generally speaking, the upright position is close to the effect of the spell; while the reverse position is to summon the body.

As expected, the positive effect of this card is exactly the spell effect——

[Upright Summon·Mirror of Nightmare]

[Required: Dark 5]

[Instant, contactless, effective immediately]

[Effect: The power of summoning the Night Demon corrodes the target mirror, generating a mirror image of itself; the mirror image can cast spells and has an independent mana pool, but cannot make sounds, move, use items, or cause any type of damage; the mirror image lasts for one Minutes, when actively broken or broken by others, it will cause shadow/dirty/curse type damage to the surroundings or to the person who was broken. The damage can be switched by yourself. By default, it will cause damage of the type with the lowest resistance of the target]

[Reverse Summon·Night Demon]

[Required: Dark 5]

[Maintenance: Dark 5*Daily]

[action, summon]

[Effect: Summon the jealous beast and night demon to fight for you, and the night demon is regarded as a summoned object; in non-combat state, the jealous beast and night demon can turn into a night crow and enter the following state; only one sinner can exist at the same time beast】

Like other mortal sin cards, its mana consumption is also an unbeatable five points.

The reversed effect is a normal summon, just like calling a butterfly.

As for the upright effect... Aiwass took a quick look and it seemed interesting.

If Aiwass understands it correctly, this skill means that it can create a self-casting totem.

Although it can't "cause harm", it can be treated!

It can be treated and buffed. You can also draw cards together with Aiwass, which is equivalent to a two-line operation... except that the mirror image cannot cause damage, and it breaks when touched.

But it doesn't matter even if it breaks when touched - because if someone attacks it and is broken, then even if the enemy is far away from the mirror image, he will suffer a counterattack!

If you don't interrupt, just stand there and help people recover blood, disperse or increase status; if you interrupt, it will cause a powerful adaptive counterattack!

And looking at the "independent mana pool", it seems that mirror casting can be done without Aiwass's own mana!

Actively trigger it, and you can also detonate it directly to cause area damage!

"...This is a PVP skill."

Aiwass opened his eyes wide and sighed with satisfaction.

Unlike the Flame Butterfly provided by Little Butterfly, which can be used repeatedly, it tends to have extreme bursts.

Its only disadvantage is probably that the mirror cannot be moved.

And if you use it well...for example, if you combine it with the control and invisibility of the "Shadow Cloak", you might be able to mislead the enemy and make them think that you have used teleportation. This allows it to absorb damage and die instead...

Anyway, the effect of this spell is a "non-action" spell that takes effect "immediately". In other words, Aiwass only needs a thought to take effect, and does not need to point to a mirror.

I just have to aggrieve the little butterfly a little bit.

Aiwass couldn't let the flame butterfly and the night crow follow him in traveling form at the same time... He could only let a big beast in traveling form follow him.

Compared with the little butterfly, the Night Demon with already established combat power is more suitable to follow.

Not to mention, Aiwass now lacks the shadow demon as a supervisor anytime and anywhere. What little butterflies lack in alertness, night crows make up for.

Before summoning Night Crow, Aiwass took out his Book of Law and put this card in it.

The count of [Aiwass's Book of Law] immediately jumped up two sections and reached (7/21).

The number of times Aiwass can "burn cards" has also been changed from once per day to twice.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred in the Book of Law——

It suddenly bloomed with gorgeous brilliance, and the extraordinary characteristics that originally read "Unlocked after logging in seven magic cards" suddenly appeared.

[Extraordinary characteristic: At the expense of a logged-in fantasy card that has not entered the cooldown, the effect of the sin card with the same attributes is strengthened]

This is……

"Sin enhancement!"

Aiwass opened his eyes wide with a look of surprise.

——It is indeed my book of Dharma, and every entry is truly top-notch!

update completed!

At least I have finished writing the ritual. I feel like I have to take leave tomorrow. My body can no longer bear it anymore. I need to resume my routine...
