Whispering Verse

"I'll criticize you again when I get home."

Now is not the time to reason with the cat, Shade said to the aggrieved cat, reached out and grabbed the ring from the cat's mouth, took the cat out of the box and let Tifa hold it.

He placed the [God's Gift Box] at his feet. The box seemed to respond to the light of the scale in Iluna's hand, preventing the pus that had covered the entire open space and spread towards the crystallized forest from infecting the three of them.

"Meow~"

Mia huddled in the arms of the soft Tifa and looked at Shad with her big eyes. This cat had a very weak golden shimmer, like the sun, but also like the afterglow of the divinity on Shad's body at this time.

"I thought your ring was here."

Shade showed the [Fish Training Ring] and then put it on his finger. In this way, he wears two rings on both hands, which looks more symmetrical. When Darkness' right hand landed on the ground just now, the black figure that rushed out of the [God's Gift Box] was obviously Mia. It was Mia who snatched the ring from the severed hand. This cat likes the [Metamorphosis Ring], so it is possible that it also likes the [Fish Training Ring].

"You damn thief!"

A curse-like voice came from Darkness's mouth, but it was not Darkness's own voice. It was clearly the devil speaking in the language of the devil. Amidst the gurgling sound, Xia De opened his mouth slightly to express surprise:

"Without the ring, you can actually use his mouth to speak? You really want to invade Darkness' body!"

In this completely dark area, the three people were illuminated by golden light and leaned together. The light of the scale in Iluna's hand barely allowed them to see Darkness.

"Ivan Darkness, answer me, who is I talking to now?"

Shade asked.

"You want to snatch my body?"

The sound coming out of Darkness's mouth this time was indeed his own.

"Yes."

The devil's language came out of Darkness's mouth again, but the man who had become the second chosen one was not worried at all. He maintained his human pus form and smiled:

"You were hit head-on by the terrifying potion just now, and you endured so many attacks from the thirteen-ring warlock on my behalf. You even gave me all the power you absorbed from the darkness to complete the ritual. How much power do you still have now? I have already After becoming the Chosen One, I have mastered that huge amount of knowledge and power that you can't imagine at all. Do you think I haven't been guarding against you?"

In the right eye covered by human pus, scarlet light spots flickered, and Darkness continued to talk to himself. It was probably a similar scene for the ring magicians themselves to communicate with themselves.

The devil spoke with Darkness' mouth:

"At the moment when the chosen one's ceremony was completed, you were affected by the power of [Balance]. Are you really okay? If it weren't for me, you seem to have temporarily lost the power of the middle ring. The only one who can kill the chosen one is Chosen One, across from you now stands another Chosen One, but I am not affected by her terrifying balance.

Do you believe in the gravity of destiny? My dear Ivan, you must be careful. The human next to her seems to be hiding a more terrifying power. You still need my help now. "

It seemed very strange to use Darkness's mouth to make a bewitching sound.

Darkness's back seemed to have been embedded in the giant crystal pillar. His height and shape continued to increase, and at the same time, more and more black pus poured out from the right half of his body.

But Shade is still waiting. As Darkness becomes stronger, he is also gradually grasping the touch in the darkness. Enough spirit is enough for him to perform thaumaturgy across levels. It seems that this time there is no need to waste any drop of divinity.

"what do you want?"

Darkness asked softly, looking at Shade with both his normal eyes and the covered right eye, but these words were obviously not meant for him.

The devil finally revealed his purpose:

"Help you swallow the power of [Dark Realm], allowing you to cross levels from the sixth ring to a high level directly. In return, share your power with me. I will have 6 hours of your time every day in the next 24 hours. , take complete control of your body.”

"Then, you will continue to extend this time with repeated requests until you completely occupy my body?"

Darkness smiled.

"You have no choice. Can you escape now without my help? Opposite you is the chosen one who awakened earlier than you. It is a woman with the power of a witch. It is a guy who doesn't know whether he is human or not."

Shade felt insulted.

The devil's language whispered:

"You need me, don't you?"

Shade translated the devil's words to his companions. Tifa shook her head to express her incomprehension about Darkness, while Iluna looked angrily at Ivan Darkness who was gradually disappearing from the edge of the light:

"We all inherit the power of the ancient gods and shoulder that responsibility. Do you really want to share your power with the devil, taint the pure darkness, and taint your own identity?"

"Look, they're stopping me from helping you, they're all afraid of me."

The demonic language in Darkness's mouth continued to murmur, and Shade also translated it very considerately.

In fact, the transformed spirit after swallowing the darkness was enough for Shade to incompletely open the [Little Match Girl] mystery lock. Even if he couldn't defeat the current Darkness, it would still be enough for him to escape with his companions, because Darkness would never have the time to waste time with him here.

But Miss Carina is still here, and Shade can't leave her behind. What's more, if he left at this time, he had a hunch that the church would never be able to keep Darkness.

We still don’t know what is going on outside, and whether Hermons the Bloodweeper has other arrangements. But Shade doesn't want to always worry about a powerful enemy in the distance that needs to be dealt with, and worries that his enemy will appear again whenever he encounters any danger. Only after worrying about him for more than ten years can he truly be dealt with.

Therefore, he did not choose to open the mysterious lock [Little Match Girl] to escape, but wanted to try another possibility.

"Why don't we try another method."

The golden luster of the scales held by Iluna was being compressed, and Darkness was completely hidden in the dark realm. But the scarlet light shining in his right eye, which was covered in human pus, was still there.

Before he entered the darkness, Shade clearly saw a strange, ooze-like thing lying on his back, whispering softly in his ear.

Shade seemed to understand what was going to happen next. Only this was the most reasonable:

"I see, this is what the devil wants."

Thin whispers lingered in everyone's ears. The rich darkness and the human pus flowing on the ground seemed to turn this place into an abyss. Iluna was already a little unsteady on her feet, and Tifa hurriedly supported her. The cat that was originally held by Tifa took this opportunity to jump onto the shoulder of the girl with long brown hair, lowering her head and curiously looking at the golden scale she was holding.

The light of the ancient god's power shone in the cat's curious and innocent eyes.

"It's about to end."

Shade, with the afterglow of divinity lighting up on his body, said softly, getting ready to roll the dice.

The voice of the human pus demon came from the darkness, and that voice used another, more ancient language. The power of this language seemed to be able to directly corrupt any strong soul in this world:

"How about, my Ivan, let me be your 'other me'."

Iluna and Tifa looked at the scarlet light representing Darkness's right eye in surprise at the same time, and amidst the sound of gurgling black pus, they both heard Darkness's answer:

"Why should I promise you?"

"You want to walk alone in the darkness, so why not let me be your shadow, forever, my dear Ivan, always with you. This is all for a greater power."

There was only the sound of gurgling pus around them. After a few seconds of silence, the three of them heard the answer given by the chosen one:

"You are me"

This was a sentence spoken in the common language of Delarion. Iluna sighed, knowing that the most terrible thing was about to happen.

"I am you."

The ancient demon language spoke this sentence, the scarlet light went out, and everything fell into silence.

After that terrifying second when the whole world seemed to be silent, with the sound of wind tearing the eardrums, wild laughter came from the front again. Not from the front, but from all directions, scarlet light spots representing demons came from all directions, surrounded by demon whispers, terrifying roars, and a fear that was completely indescribable in human language.

"Silver Moon!"

Raising his right hand high, Shade shouted loudly. Because he was protected by Iluna's power of balance at this moment, the light finally penetrated the darkness.

All three of them saw that there was only light left in the hemispherical area where they were standing under the tree. The surrounding dark crystal stones stood tall. From the pus on the ground, from the dark air, and from the darkness above, countless terrifying... Things are taking shape.

The combination of modern humans and ancient demons creates an even more terrifying phenomenon.

Thousands of demons, relying on the power of the fusion of the chosen ones of [Darkness] and the human pus demons, using the power of the [Dark Realm] as a breeding ground, are coming to the present from the rift between history and the past.

The silver moon on Shade's fingertips and the light on the scale in Iluna's hand were extremely shrinking, but Darkness seemed to be everywhere.

He has now transformed into thousands of demons.

"Without restrictions and reverence, the wanton abuse of the chosen one's talent turned out to have such terrible consequences. He actually communicated with history and used human pus to shape the demons of the past. It seems that we still underestimated the power of Iluna. , if the chosen ones have no bottom line and no longer intend to be human, they can be so terrifying, so the fortune tellers will do their best to find them."

Shade said softly.

He stood in front of the two girls:

"Don't worry, leave everything to me."

The demons around them, in the sky, and even under the ground stretched out their hands, or hand-like organs, at the same time. The darkness extended, and the light had been compressed into a small circular area surrounding their feet. Even the moonlight on their fingertips was about to be extinguished.

But the scars on Shade's body were not affected at all. The demons were afraid of the light and did not dare to touch them.

He looked up at everything around him:

"Darkness, you were finally swallowed by darkness."

When the [Twenty-sided Dice of Destiny] is thrown, it will immediately lead to good or bad luck, and the person who throws the dice will definitely know it later. Although the good luck determined by the dice cannot be specified, in the face of life-threatening situations, the results of the dice will have a greater probability of affecting the situation around them, ensuring that the person who throws the dice knows what the dice affects before he dies.

That's why Xia De chose to save the 20-point chance until now.

Before throwing the dice, Shade squinted at the cat on Iluna's shoulder. At this time, both Iluna and Tifa had almost turned black, but the frightened and trembling cat was still completely normal. Not only that, when the surrounding light is extinguished, the faint shimmer on the cat is very conspicuous:

"I knew that after the second night of divine descent, I was definitely not the one who restored you from a doll."

Shade thought in his mind as the [Twenty-sided Dice of Destiny] in his hand was thrown into the sky:

"it's over."
