Whispering Verse

Shade stared blankly at the water, and the beautiful head was completely attached to his back. Countless palms dripping with water grabbed the life ring to stop it from rotating, and legs restrained his body.

It was gradually wrapping around him, and its mouth whispered in Shade's right ear:

"People call me [Desire], but you are..."

It moved closer to Shade, wanting to lie on Shade's back and talk intimately into Shade's ear.

However, he accidentally looked at the pool of water with Shade's eyes. In the picture, the silver-haired woman in the mirror was still blurry to Shade, but lying behind Shade, the thing claiming to be "Desire" actually saw The silver-haired woman in the mirror looked directly outside.

It couldn't see the silver-haired woman's face clearly, but those eyes...

Shade couldn't hear the sound, but it heard it. Those silver eyes stared outside the mirror, outside the water, and stared at the head behind Shade:

[Only I can speak from this position. 】

The ancient language represents the real years. It is as if the wind from the long past has blown to the present, and the ancient grammar that has traveled through several eras has made the woman's head recall the past in the language of the ancients that she has not heard for a long time. The very long past has long been worn out by the relics. past.

It froze.

Shade suddenly frowned, then turned his head and looked back, staring into the eyes of the head at close range:

"Wait a minute, you said I'm a man and that I'm from the Sixth Age?"

"What?"

The head saw in Shade's eyes the brilliance of wisdom that represented normal thoughts.

"Of course I am a man, but the old gods told me that, strictly speaking, this is not the sixth era. Wait, so you don't even know this? Ha, I thought you were so powerful, but I didn't expect that I would be defeated by you. Frightened."

At this point, Shade, who looked at those eyes, completely woke up. He said seriously to the head behind him:

"And don't, don't talk in my ear."

Only then did he realize that he was entangled by the monster. After a little panic and nausea, he immediately understood what he was going to do.

Behind the back, the brass-colored [Gluttony] and black-iron-colored [Greed] auras almost merged into one. The high-temperature wheel ring was spewing steam and rapidly rotating, forcing those hands to let go of the life ring. At the same time, Shade's right index finger pointed behind him:

"Silver Moon!"

In the narrow dark room, the ultimate holy silver light burst out like the sun, and the legs that locked Shade's body were released little by little.

Plop~

Shade felt a lightness behind his back, then heard the sound of heavy objects falling into the water, and noticed that the splashing water wet his pants. But he did not check the pool again, but took one step from one end of the pool to the door at the other end.

He wanted to rush out along the already opened door, but the voice behind him stopped him. The head's voice was still sweet, but Shade felt it inexplicably. It was a little less interested, but it still asked like a humming song:

"You won, don't you want to know how to get that golden stone?"

Shade didn't even move. A series of water droplets flew from behind him, forming dense ancient letters in front of his eyes.

During the "Sea Return" ceremony, the golden pearl will be buried in the heart of the giant mermaid corpse that summoned the tsunami. A terrifying spell can separate the pearl from the fish-man's abdomen, and now this spell is right in front of Shade's eyes.

"There is the power of God in that golden pearl. That's why I have been sealed until now. Those fishmen still think that I am just a sea monster. But if you dare to touch that thing, the gods will look at you." Thief......"

She seemed to pause on purpose, and after a few seconds she said:

"But if you can use blasphemous methods to pollute the sea and return the pearl before touching it, the gods will not pay attention to you. After all, for a great person in high dimensions, it is not enough to disgust yourself for a thief."

Shade wanted to speak, but then he heard something fly out of the water and land behind his feet.

Looking back, it turned out to be a small piece of fresh meat with red blood:

"What's the meaning?"

"I said, as long as you look at me, I will give you the answer and a gift. This is a gift."

In the pool, only the woman's head was still above the water. Now that Shade knew what was under the water, he no longer had any illusions about the body.

"What's this?"

The woman lay on the edge of the pool and chuckled, stretching out one of her arms to let Shade see the bloody wound on it. The perfect skin and flesh were destroyed, but this only enhanced the charm of that white arm:

"Didn't you already guess it? This is my meat. Eat it and you will gain new strength.

Your enemies are fishmen, but are you sure you can defeat them in the water? You only have the second ring. I don’t think you can beat me even on land, right? My flesh and blood can allow you to perfectly adapt to the water environment, increase your lifespan, and give you short-term powerful strength. Even... there are other permanent powers. "

Shade had heard the rumor that eating mermaid flesh would lead to immortality many times in this world. But the mermaid race itself cannot live forever, and eating their flesh certainly cannot give them any special powers.

The relic in the pool that calls itself [Desire] does look like a mermaid...a very weird mermaid. Eating its flesh is equivalent to eating part of the relic.

This kind of thing sounds quite crazy, but Shade has no hesitation.

Awakening from the true reflection of [Desire], although he did not gain the power to reveal himself, the foreigner felt firmer than ever before. He truly understands himself and his heart, which is more precious than any power.

The woman in the ear chuckled, and the woman in the pool also chuckled. The piece of meat next to the foot is quickly turning black and smelly, and everything is decided by Shade.

He endured his nausea and bent down to pick up the fresh piece of meat. This sticky mass was probably more disgusting than the most disgusting thing he had ever eaten, which was the frog stuff.

"How about it?"

I asked in my heart.

[A pure polymer of elements and spirit, eating it will definitely affect your mental state. 】

"How does it affect it?"

[Can’t give you an answer. 】

"Also, I saw it in the pool just now..."

There was just something shameful about the thought.

[Outlander, I don’t mind anything, including your suspicion of me. 】

"What choice will your greed make you make? Or, will your courage let you try?"

[Desire]'s head smiled at Shade by the pool. Normal girls would be able to see their smooth shoulders if they lay down by the pool. But with this thing, you can only see the head:

"Do you need me to swear to the ancient gods again that there is no harm this time?"

Shade weighed the piece of meat and answered in a serious tone:

"There is no need to swear, but can courage and recklessness really be distinguished? No, in my opinion, the difference between the two lies in the final result, not in the current situation based on which the judgment is made. .”

With a slight stroke of his finger, the moonlight between his fingers peeled off a small piece of thin flesh. His control was pretty good. The thin piece of flesh was even completely transparent, but it also allowed Shade to see the hair-thin muscle texture.

He carefully put this thing into his mouth, and the fishy smell immediately spread to his entire mouth. Shade didn't dare to chew and appreciate the taste, but swallowed it directly into his stomach.

The abundant spirit spreads to every corner of the body, and that wonderful feeling of power is more effective than the soup on the Bones Pirate Ship.

"Can we make further judgment?"

[There is no poison or curse. It can indeed temporarily provide you with the power of dark desires. But if you eat all the meat in your hands, even if you are in the afterglow state of divinity now, your various desires will be amplified for at least a month. 】

The woman in the pool did not urge Shade. Shade stood there and thought about it, closed his eyes, and stuffed all the pieces of meat in his hand into his mouth.

"Ugh~"

He swallowed it directly through his throat, and then the strong feeling of vomiting made him tremble and fall to his knees directly on the ground. One hand was on the ground and the other was covering his chest. This feeling of vomiting is not only due to the bad taste, but also because after all the pieces of meat are swallowed, along with the rapid accumulation of spiritual energy in the body, the body seems to have absorbed something from the pieces of meat.

The muscles all over the body tightened, the blood vessels stood out, and it looked like there were small worms squirming under the skin. The dark lines were centered on the stomach and spread towards the body, as if Shade's body was covered with black runic chains.

In addition to the abnormality in his body, Shade felt like the world was spinning at this moment, as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss of darkness. As he fell, various abnormal scenes, and crazy illusions that made him afraid and addicted, were displayed to him one by one. in front of.

The brain is completely unable to perceive the real reality, and the endless emptiness and crazy desire are urging him to get what he wants.

But the benefits of eating this piece of meat were also revealed at the same time, and the life ring that had just been taken back by Shade automatically appeared behind him. However, as the black iron-colored spiritual light gradually enriched, no new spiritual runes were produced.

[Gluttony] and [Greed] faintly overlapped at this moment. The two-color aura of the two is not strong, but has a simple and heavy feeling.

As Shade kept retching while holding on to the ground, her voice appeared in her ears, and her murmuring voice still contained a smile:

[In the pool of desire, you saw me. Don't be afraid of dark desires, sin is a part of you too. What you swallow is the flesh and blood of desire, and what you gain is the power you have never discovered. 】

[Relic-Desire, gives you new power. 】

The black light spread to the entire life ring, and the strange luster made the woman in the pool keep a smile on her face and narrowed her eyes slightly:

"Crime..."

[Outlander, you have obtained the thaumaturgy - Chain of Sin. Use the chains forged by your desires to imprison the enemies of desire. 】

The black light on the surface of the life ring eventually turned into a blazing black flame attached to the life ring as the brass ring rotated. As the magic took shape, the flame flowed from the life ring to Shade's body. The black lines on the surface of the skin gradually overlapped with the flames, and with a clanking sound, the materialized jet-black chain appeared in Shade's hand.

Thaumaturgy - [Chain of Sin], the name is a bit strange, and it is not a thaumaturgy that corresponds to a single spiritual rune. The new thaumaturgy is associated with two spiritual runes, [Gluttony] and [Greed] at the same time.

You know, even Professor Garcia's Mystery Lock - Desolate Wilderness only corresponds to three spiritual runes.

Although the name of thaumaturgy is a bit deceptive, it has no offensive power. The effect is very simple. This black chain that seems to be able to absorb light is not offensive, but can be used to lock enemies. And the stronger the enemy's desire, the stronger Shade's desire, and the stronger the sealing effect of the chain.

Not only does it block the ability to move through the binding, this chain can even block the extraordinary power of the Ring Warlock. Although it cannot directly enhance Shade's combat ability, it is still a very useful thaumaturgy.

As the thaumaturgy took shape, Shade's consciousness was also recovering, but the fear and sense of emptiness of falling into the dark abyss remained for a long time before it truly disappeared.

After a while, Shade realized that he was holding on to the ground and gasping for air.

The spirit in the body has indeed increased. The current state, combined with the witch's golden ring, is almost enough for Shade to use the Mystery Lock [Little Match Girl] incompletely once. It's just that this power that doesn't belong to him is draining away quickly, and he can't waste time.

He lowered his head and looked at his arms and arms again. Those strange black lines had disappeared, and there seemed to be nothing in his stomach. Shaking the black chain in his hand, the strange metal made the user of thaumaturgy feel a little uncomfortable.

The black metal is cold, as if it can absorb light and not emit any light. Although it looks like a chain, each link of the chain is an ancient rune. All runes have different styles, but when translated into Drarion Common, these runes have only two meanings:

Gluttony, greed.

More thaumaturgy information was told by "she" in her ears. The length of the chain could be extended as needed, and Shade could also manipulate the chain to move, but it must be done within the range of vision.

"It seems that such advanced thaumaturgy is actually not offensive."

It took him a while to stand up, and then he felt something strange in his body again.

"Huh? How do you feel...this body has become stronger again?"

He himself was pushed to the second level because of his divinity, and his physical fitness was far superior to that of the same level of magicians. But now he actually has the feeling that his physical fitness has become stronger in a short period of time.

And not only did his physical fitness become stronger, which was probably an illusion, but Xia De actually felt that his skin had also improved a lot.

The original owner was a homeless person after all, and just a few months was not enough to recover from the effects of several years of wandering on his skin. Now, although the skin is not as good as the woman in the pool, it is definitely not the same as before.
