The Whispering Verses Chapter 404: Mortal Sin
Xia De 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, I 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, she called herself "Desire" , unexpectedly saw the silver-haired woman in the mirror looking directly outside.
It can't see the silver-haired woman's face clearly, but those eyes...
Shad 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.
Xia De 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 I was actually fooled by you."
At this point, Shade, who looked at those eyes, completely woke up, and he said seriously to the head behind him:
"Also, 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 erupted like the sun, and the legs that locked Shade's body were released little by little.
Plop~
Shad 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 through the 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 humming:
"You won, don't you want to know how to get the golden stone?"
Shad 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 thought I was just a sea monster. But if you dare to touch that thing, the gods will look at you To you thief..."
She seemed to pause deliberately, and after a few seconds she said:
"But if you can use blasphemous methods to pollute the sea before touching the pearl and return it to the ceremony, the gods will not pay attention to you. After all, for the great people of high dimensions, it is not disgusting to do it for a thief. Himself."
Shad 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 do you mean?"
"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 is this?"
The woman lay on the edge of the pool and chuckled, stretching out one of her arms to let Shade see the **** 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 think you can't 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. ”
Shad has heard the rumor that eating mermaid flesh can 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 had no hesitation.
Awakening from the true reflection of [Desire], although he did not gain the power to show off, the outsider 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 lightly, and the woman in the pool also chuckled. The piece of meat next to the foot is rapidly turning black and smelly, and everything is decided by Shade.
He endured his nausea and bent down to pick up the piece of fresh meat. This sticky mass was probably even more disgusting than the nastiest thing he had ever eaten, which was the frog stuff.
"How was it?"
I asked in my heart.
[A polymer of pure elements and spirit, eating it will definitely affect your mental state. 】
"How is it affected?"
[Can’t give you an answer. 】
"Also, I just saw in the pool..."
Only this thought carries some shameful connotation.
[Foreigner, 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 looked at Shade with a smile by the pool. If normal girls lay down by the pool, they would be able to see their smooth shoulders. 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?"
Xia De 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 only in the final result, not in what it is based on. Judgment based on the current situation.”
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 muscle texture as thin as a hair.
Put this thing into your mouth carefully, and the fishy smell immediately spreads to the 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.
"vomit~"
Swallowed directly through his throat, and then the strong feeling of vomiting made him tremble and fall to his knees directly. 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 there seemed to be small worms crawling 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 rune chains.
In addition to the abnormality of his body, Shade felt like the world was spinning at this moment, as if he had fallen into a bottomless dark abyss. While falling, various abnormal scenes and crazy illusions made him afraid and addicted, one by one. displayed in front of him.
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. 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 overlap 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 maintain a smiling expression 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.
Thumbology - [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 must know that even Professor Garcia's Mystery Lock - Desolate Wilderness only corresponds to three spiritual runes.
Although the name of Thaumatology 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 movement abilities through restraint, this chain can even block the Ring Warlock's extraordinary power. 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.
Looking down at his arms and arms, 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 jet-black metal is cold and does not emit any light as if it can absorb 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 Drarian Common, these runes have only two meanings:
Gluttony and greed.
More thaumaturgy information was told by "she" in her ears. The length of the chain can be extended as needed. Shade can 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 a while before I stood up, and then I felt something strange in my body again.
"Huh? How do you feel...this body has become stronger again?"
Because of his divinity, he was pushed to the second level, 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 is a homeless person after all, and just a few months is not enough to recover the effects of years of wandering on the skin. Now, although the skin is not as good as the woman in the pool, it is definitely not the same as before.
