Chapter 2775 Ghost of Resentment

Even for outsiders today, it is difficult to describe what kind of creature is lurking in the center of the burning village.

It has a hunched body and thick limbs, long and sharp fingers, and its entire body is covered with fiery red hair, but at the same time it is covered by blazing flames.

The flames gushed out from its torso and limbs, forming a blazing glow. Under the hair and flames, its skin was charred black, full of cracks and scars, as if it could be torn apart by the flames at any time.

Compared with its abnormal body, its head was even more terrifying.

When Shade looked at it, the monster also looked at Shade with a ferocious face. Its fiery red eyes burned with the flames of hatred, its teeth were sharp and dense, and its mouth opened with a chilling smile.

Even those who were completely unaware of the secret of this relic could immediately see the pain and anger in its image. This is the core of the sage-level relic - the lingering resentment, the "ghost of resentment" driven by resentment and hatred.

The powerful oppressive force and strange shape have already demonstrated its power, and when the monster jumped into the air and smashed towards the position of Shade and the cat like a flaming meteorite, Shade felt a stronger sense of crisis than being hit by the dragon:

"This thing is wrong, courageous body!"

The giant, which expanded to ten meters, raised his arms and crossed them in front of him, blocking the falling power of the ghost of resentment with a loud bang.

But the price was that the ground under the giant Shade's feet sank at least one meter, and at the same time, with the sound of air waves surging around, the violent flames almost engulfed the remaining half of the village.

At this time, the broken marks like magma flow appeared on Shade's body, but when the monster kicked his arm and then flipped back to the ground with the force, after Shade's arm clothes were burned, large patches of burn marks still appeared on his arms.

This was totally unimaginable before. Even if Xia De, the "hero of fire", could be injured or even burned to death by the flames, it would never be possible to have such a large area of ​​burns. Because there is only one kind of flame that can burn him now, that is.

"Original Fire! It's actually here with you!"

"Roar!"

The red mane trembled with the violent roar. It was obviously the appearance of a beast, but the mouth of the ghost of resentment was filled with burnt human teeth.

The monster inserted its hand into the sea of ​​fire around it, and then chopped the flame-shaped sword at Xia De's head. After being deflected by the huge yellow moonlight sword in Xia De's hand with a loud bang, it turned its body and then shattered Xia De's sword with a spinning flame slash.

The flame sword chopped Xia De's head again with unstoppable force. It can be seen that it doesn't know how to use a sword at all, but just uses the flame in its hand as a stick. And since it dared to get close, Xia De didn't hide at all.

He reached out and grabbed the flaming giant sword. Even the cat that was sensing the direction of escape heard the loud sound of Shade's left hand bone breaking.

But Shade's expression remained unchanged. He stretched out his right hand to grab the burning face of the monster:

"Black Moon Symbol!"

In the roar of the ghost of resentment, the huge Black Moon Symbol dispersed the flames on the ground and appeared under it. The flaming face, the flaming red mane and the charred skin gradually turned into ashes. As the flaming giant sword disappeared, the ghost of resentment also gradually turned into ashes from the face and dissipated with a wailing of relief.

Panting and suppressing the curse and severe pain, Shade's body returned to normal. His right hand covered the charred fractured left hand. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard another loud noise in the center of the burning village, and then the ghost of resentment that had just completely disappeared appeared again.

The hideous face turned to Shade immediately, and the flames burning in his eyes seemed to have more resentment and pain.

The cat immediately reminded:

"It's useless. As long as this flame is not extinguished, its resentment will not disappear. Unless you directly erase the entire relic, even a magic like the Black Moon Talisman will be useless.

Let's go, I found the exit, go to the dock, the exit is at the dock!"

So Shade hugged the cat tightly, and no longer cared about the villagers who seemed to be unable to see them and the increasingly violent flames around them, and immediately rushed to the dock in the east of the village.

And the "resurrected" resentful ghost obviously would not forget Shade because he died once. While dozens of house-sized fireballs that were tracking him fell one after another, the obviously agile and abnormal huge monster jumped again and landed in front of Shade.

"Raglai's jump."

After Shade's figure flashed, he had already come behind it. Just as he was about to rush forward, he found that the soul of an old woman beside him actually reached out and grabbed his arm.

Just now he clearly felt that all the villagers here were phantoms, but the soul of the old woman in the mountain village who took the initiative to grab him was actually real.

"Take it out, it's asking for help from you, take it out, we need clues!"

The cat also responded immediately, so Shade reached out and grabbed the old woman's soul and continued to rush forward. Behind them, the Ghost of Resentment raised his right arm and turned into a flaming whip, but the cat climbed onto Shade's shoulder and cast a spell again as the whip fell:

"Wall of Sighs!"

A total of five gray stone walls stood up behind Shade one by one, and the fiery red whip was not stopped until it broke the last wall.

The rubble and flames were blocked by the witch's spell, while Shade quickly dodged the fire pillars rising from the ground and the fireballs falling from the sky.

But fortunately, Gregory Village is not a big village. When the ghost of resentment smashed the ground with his left hand and turned himself into flames and came to the heads of the three people, Shade, who was carrying the cat and grabbing the old woman, had already arrived at the dock. location.

This time, Shade didn't need to be reminded by the witch, and he realized where the so-called "exit" was. However, the blazing flames had turned into a falling ghost of resentment above his head. Shade had to use thaumaturgy to enlarge his body again, and punched upwards with his right fist——

Boom!

His right fist shining with silver moonlight collided with the downward kicking feet of the ghost of resentment. This time, it was the cursed Shade who was knocked away by the blow. This wasn't an act, it was because he really couldn't bear the power of this monster.

But fortunately, this was also part of his plan, and the direction in which he was shot was the direction of the dock. So holding the cat in one hand and the soul in the other, Shade fell into the river that dried up due to the fire under the pier.

There seemed to be no water in the river, but he entered the cold river water the next moment.

Then all the heat and danger disappeared, and even the pain in the body became much more real due to the alternation of hot and cold.

After bubbling on the water for a few seconds, the boat gradually surfaced and lifted the souls of Shad, the cat, and the old country woman to the surface.

Light rain fell in the woods, and dark clouds covered the sun in the gloomy sky. The cold wind in late autumn makes a rustling sound when it sweeps through the woods, but the sound of gurgling water is actually the loudest at this time.

Without flames, the normal world would only have the desolation and loneliness of autumn. The dilapidated wooden boat then floated down the river, and the last trace of heat in 1854 had disappeared. After all, winter was coming.

Shade's breathing gradually became calmer, and he lay on his back on the boat without getting up immediately. The severe burns on his arms were slowly healing in the drizzle, and the curse entangled with ashes and resentment was gradually being driven away by the power of the soul because it was no longer affected by the relics, but this would take some time, so he just wanted to lie down quietly now. .

The leaves were swirling and blown over the river by the wind. Looking at the fluttering dead leaves, Xia De felt that the year was coming to an end.

The gray-black cat jumped out of his chest, and the cat's thin shadow lengthened in the air until it transformed back into the appearance of a gray-black haired witch.

She did not urge Shade to get up, but stood up and looked at the village upstream that was gradually moving away, to make sure it was still deserted, and then looked at the soul of the old woman they brought out together.

In the village where the fire had just started, she looked like a normal person, but after returning to reality, her spirit body became illusory, until now it was almost completely transparent, and the original panic expression on her face became indifferent. Even after experiencing such an incredible thing, she just stood motionless on the boat with an expressionless face.

The whisper element is entangled in her body, which means that she is still affected by the power of the sage-level relic [Remaining Grudge]. And when Flora tried to observe the deeper state of this soul, she even felt some kind of power that stung her eyes.

"Devil's power."

Shade said as he was lying on the boat. When Flora saw him trying to sit up, she hurriedly reached out to pull him up, and then treated his arms that were still slowly healing with some distress:

"You should take a rest first. You'll be fine for the time being. [Remaining Grudge] will not affect the scene outside the place where the incident occurred, and the monster cannot chase it out."

"I'm fine for now."

Shade shook his head and looked at Flora:

“I had contact with the Ghost of Resentment just now, and what I felt was not only the power of the First Fire, but the Ghost of Resentment was a part of the core that was split apart from the demon of fire, Dizast.

If this is the case, then the massacre of the village a hundred years ago was entirely the work of that demon. While hiding in the forest, it destroyed the Gregorian village in order to regain its power. I don't know if it's the reason for the relic's appearance, or if it's just a coincidence, but I'm worried that it will get out of there. "

"It can't move. This kind of event-like relic itself is not movable. Unless the core is killed, it can never leave the remains of Gregorian Village. It can't even transmit information to its body, or Said that the message could not be conveyed immediately.

Gaining the power of a Whisper does make it powerful, but the rules of the relic also place limitations on it. "

Flora helped Shade sit on the side of the boat:

"I think the appearance of the relic is an accident, otherwise the devil would have no reason to trap a part of himself in such a remote village. This is completely useless. In my opinion, this relic even played a role in sealing the devil.

But in this case, those who recently transported goods from that cellar are very suspicious. They seem to be fully aware of the relic rules in this village. Are those people worshipers of devils? "
