The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 78: The Circle of Destiny
This is really an incomprehensible scene.
Salvatore felt that his mind was blank, and he was not even sure whether he was in a nightmare or not.
...Otherwise, how could the scene in front of me be so weird?
Hugo just died in front of his eyes, and even his ashes were turned into a diamond ring by himself.
I forced myself to hold on to the inexplicable feeling of grievance I felt when the elder left, determined to shoulder Hugo's guilt, vowed to practice Hugo's path, and even couldn't help crying in front of Annan. .
In the end, it was Salvatore's remaining sense that told him... Annan should be the one protected by him. As an adult in his thirties, he should not worry Annan, who is less than half his age.
So Salvatore finally became strong.
It was at that moment that he realized that he had finally grown up. In other words, it was finally time for him to grow up.
It was only then that he finally shouldered a "responsibility" that could not be ignored, shirked, or escaped.
——And he wiped his tears and turned around to find that Hugo was alive again.
"...Did you guys agree on this?"
Salvatore was silent for a long time, complaining angrily: "Is this just to make me laugh? Do you want to see me cry? What kind of prank is this...Did you record it?"
"I actually recorded it."
Annan said seriously.
"Go to hell! You don't have a share in what I prepared for you! I won't give it to you even if I sell it!"
Salvatore squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, and roared feebly with a headache on his face: "I was really sad just now! Don't lie to my feelings, I really believed it and cried. Damn it, you bastard!"
"——Huh? What stupid things are you talking about?"
And "Vatore", who had transformed into a human-like posture, reached out unceremoniously and grabbed Salvatore's right cheek, pulling it outwards forcefully: " Aren't you stupid yourself, you idiot? How can you blame others for being smart when you are so stupid?
"Use your brain - you are going to become the master of the tower, so don't give me any willful complaints here! Since I have become like this, it means that the ceremony has indeed been successful."
As a shadow, "Vatore" has lost its shadow, lost its outer shell as a demon, and now has the appearance of a girl.
The biggest difference is that her hands became human hands instead of demonic claws. The cuticles on her body have all turned into delicate skin... although the color of the skin is closer to gray-white and looks a bit like a stone statue.
And her hair also turned into a tentacle-like structure composed of shadows. It even reminds Annan of the things under Kaifuni's skirt...
Except for a few traces of demons, she is almost the same as a naked girl. It's just that the chest only has fat but no bulge, the smooth abdomen has no navel, and the ears only have cochlea but no ear canal.
Rather than a human or a demon, it looks more like some kind of demonic statue that "imitates human form".
In other words, it's a bit like a sin-eating spirit...
If it can pass the review, there should be pictures here.jpg
From Annan's point of view of aesthetics, Senior Vatore has obviously become more beautiful.
But obviously, Senior Sister Vatore is not very satisfied with her new form.
Because she doesn't look powerful or arrogant now. Rather than "a demon parasitic on Salvatore's body", it is more like "some kind of summon of Salvatore"...
"As soon as I entered the door, I realized that this was a ceremonial venue, but you just stood there stupidly? Where did your vigilance go? If you say you feel at ease after entering the Zedi Black Tower, Chengling Monk Don’t you want to learn lessons from me? You’re not even the master of the tower, why do you have such strong self-confidence? Huh?
"This time, the teacher used the Secret of Creation to perform a ritual. What if it was used to burn you? What can you do to withstand this attack? The teacher didn't use any high-speed spell skills, so it was just plain. I read a whole sentence and you didn’t even react. You deserved to be killed!
"You are still here complaining about Annan. Can't you see that the teacher was resurrected by Annan? This was obviously not in the original plan... Why are you so stupid? You still haven't thanked me, idiot!"
Senior Sister Vatore complained softly.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, so she slapped Salvatore on the back of the head hard, making a crisp sound like slapping a watermelon. It seemed that it felt so good in her hand that she couldn't help but slap it several times in a row.
But compared to the previous sense of aggression and threat in the demonic form, this looks more like flirting and has no majesty at all...
Then the senior sister became even more angry.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting..."
Salvatore felt aggrieved: "Obviously I was cheated, why did I still get beaten..."
Looking at the pitiful Salvatore squatting down with his head in his arms, Hugo sighed: "I don't want to lie to you, I did die just now..."
"To be precise...he is dead, but not completely dead."
Annan added with a smile: "As I said before, I gained the ability to resurrect."
"...I underestimated you, Your Majesty Annan."
Hugo breathed out and closed his eyes with a complicated expression: "I didn't expect that even when my own soul was completely burned out... you could still save me."
"All this is determined by fate, Your Excellency Hugo."
The smile on Annan's face faded slightly and he looked at Hugo: "Do you still remember whose nightmare made me advance?"
Hugo was startled.
He suddenly realized: "So that's it..."
A long, long time ago, the reason why he saved Bernardino from being chased by the Tower of Black Glory... was because at that time, Hugo felt that his life should not be spent in such a muddle.
He has extraordinary talents and can become an unparalleled healer. Because of that experiment, Bernardino had a talent that ordinary humans could not naturally possess—not the perception of souls, but the ability to directly contact spiritual bodies with vision.
Just like transforming a wizard, it is impossible to transform a spirit body.
High-level transcendent beings can sense spirits of a lower level than themselves... But even if the person staying there is not a spirit body, but a living person, they can still sense it.
But Bernardino's talent allowed him to directly see the vision of gold-level spirits when he was at the bronze level.
Although his body is still in the material world, he is actually part of the spiritual body.
This is something that all soul-stealing wizards cannot do - they try their best, but they can only keep approaching in this direction. But for Bernardino, this new talent that sacrificed his vision has always been passive. ~IndoMTL.com~ Just like Isaac said.
When the "white-robed women" advance to the gold level, they will also have the ability to resurrect.
Even if there are no corpses... when the corpses are crushed into mud and burned into ashes, they can directly resurrect them. Of course, this kind of resurrection still cannot repair the soul.
But as long as the white-robed woman exists on the field and expands her domain, when everyone dies, their souls will automatically enter her domain and be stored by her.
She can resurrect anyone to a designated location next to her at will. You can also take away the dead and resurrect them in a safe place - in addition to being able to resurrect friendly troops, you can also use this method to capture the enemy's soul and counter the opponent's resurrection methods.
However, even a "loving mother" must be resurrected with a complete soul.
The spells of the Idol School and the Shaping School cannot have an effect on the soul; only the spells of the Soul-stealing School can have an effect on the soul. And if Bernardino becomes a gold-level healer, his special vision and resurrection ability will be effective on the soul.
This is why Hugo was optimistic about him in the first place.
...Although in the end, Bernardino did not take this path and even became an unforgivable sinner.
But Annan gained the same ability from his nightmare...
After going in a big circle, I finally came back to where I was.
Hugo felt the irony of fate.
