Chapter two hundred and sixteen: approaching the abyss
The rotten swamp forest in the Fairy Mountains seems darker and wet than a few years ago. Legend has it that deep in the Fairy Mountains, there are evil undeads who can manipulate death and souls. He plays with the human souls and falls on its hands, and the dead cannot be at peace underground.
In addition, there is also a terrifying death black dragon inside, a death knight without a head, and countless ghosts who are unwilling to die, wandering in the dark swamp forest, devouring the lives of living people.
Every night, it seems that the songs of dead people coming from the rotten swamps can be heard. No one who entered the depths of the Fairy Mountains came back alive, and this place has completely become a forbidden place for living people.
Passing through the watery swamp area and entering the northern area covered with ice and snow, the original dragon cave on the snow-capped mountains has undergone a very big change compared to four years ago.
The originally simple and wide cave is now constantly digging inside, forming a building like a maze underground. Adenos, who inherited Levi's knowledge system, seemed to inherit Levi's hobby of underground mazes.
At the bottom of the cave, several giant monsters as if they were pieced together by several corpses and sewn together. They were constantly digging downwards. Their bodies were covered with scales, and their claws were like claws of pangolins. They sharply drilled open the ground and kept moving towards the depths.
In the cave in the central heart of several floors below, it was chiseled into a flat square hall, with the walls hanging on them with the wizards' common gas lamps, and the lines were connected together to illuminate the entire hall.
“Gaga, it’s so wonderful!”
Ardenos stood on the steps, behind him was a throne made of bones. The huge corpse dragon was dozing beside the stairs. Ardenos pressed his palm on the head of a pale young man. He was tied tightly by the rope, and his whole body was trembling and wanted to howl in fear, but because his mouth was blocked, he could only make a whimpering sound.
Above the white and slender bone fingers, there was a blood-red crystal. The light flowed over the blood-red crystal. I immediately saw that the young man's eyes instantly lost his spirit, collapsed on the ground, and no longer breathed.
The flames in Yadnos' head jumped instantly, as if adding a handful of firewood to it, and instantly became vigorous. Yadnos held his head up, and his face, which was obviously only left with white bones, showed a sense of happiness.
"That's right, that's it. I want more, more!"
“Strong taste!”
Compared with a few years ago, Adenos became more and more crazy. The bone palms under Adenos' black robe swung across the hall. More than a dozen young and strong men bound in the audience were instantly drawn out, transformed into soul fire in the air, and poured into Adenos' head like a group of birds returning to their nests.
This feeling of taking drugs made Adenos unable to stop and deeply immersed in it. Then he looked at a lady in a bright red dress below the stage. The green flame jumping from her head jumped out of her eye sockets, revealing her eyes to choose people to eat.
The lady collapsed to the ground in fear, holding a cotton swaddle wrapped in swaddle, and even lost her power to escape. Even at this time, she still held the child in her arms tightly and cried and said, "What you said, as long as I sacrifice to you, you will satisfy my wish!"
Adenos laughed wildly, but while controlling his palms that seemed to be unable to control, he smiled strangely: "Of course, there is a contract between us!"
Adenos walked down the high steps and picked up the child in the noble lady's hand. This was a child over two years old, but his face turned blue and white like a corpse, terrifying and cunning.
The lady fell to her knees before Adenos: "Please save my child, please, exchange my child from the hands of the god of death, you can do anything you need!"
The child died of illness. This disease is of course nothing to Adenos, but the dead person’s consciousness dissipates and it is impossible to find it again. However, Adenos can use his soul fire to replace the child’s consciousness. The brain is the storage place for memory, and the soul is just blank. As long as the memory is like, isn’t this the same child?
"Yes, this is the redemption of death!"
The noble lady in front of him was the wife of a great lord of the Mara Kingdom. Since the failure of the previous Adenos, Adenos has become more careful and more secluded in his work, especially when he thinks he is not strong enough and needs to be dormant, Adenos needs people to constantly offer sacrifices to him and offer sacrifices. The noble lady in front of him who has lost her only son is a very good choice.
Ardenos put the child on the altar and immediately activated the healing and body transformation technique. Then he saw that the child's body became rosy and rosy little by little. Then the bone palm brushed across the child's face, and the flames stirred in the ring. Immediately, the child's pupils also ignited a miserable green flame. After a strange smile at Ardenos, the flames in his eyes instantly extinguished.
Then I saw the child standing up little by little, holding the mother's hand under the noble lady's surprise expression, and walked outside together. Adenos was carrying her body on her back, waiting for her to leave little by little, suddenly attacked, smashing the table and overturning the entire floor, and even the gas lamps on the wall were smashed in large quantities.
"Damn it, it's going on again!"
Yadnos trembled wildly, his whole body skeleton was constantly rotating, his head twisted from the front to the back, and his bone hand completely broke to the opposite level. He seemed to be in a crazy self-splitting and backlash.
"who I am?"
"I'm Yadnos?"
"No, no, I'm the Black Dragon Giska!"
"I'm Atour! No, I'm Bashir, I'm Marseille, I'm..."
It took a long time for Adenos to suppress a large number of personalities in his consciousness and sit on the throne of bones. Adenos discovered the disadvantages of his ability from constantly devouring other people's consciousness. Every time he swallowed a consciousness, the other person's personality consciousness would be integrated into his soul fire.
The stronger the other person's personality is, the more independent it will be in his consciousness, the more it will be, the more severe the interference it will be to swallow, the less Ardenos will be unable to suppress the large number of personality backlashes in his soul fire. Ardenos' personality has been frantically distorted to a point where he cannot control it, and the influence of multiple personalities is becoming more and more serious.
Yadnos knew that if he continued like this, as he devoured more and more consciousness, he would gradually be swallowed by thousands of other personalities, becoming a consciousness collection composed of countless personalities, a complete crazy monster.
"Gaga, what a cruel choice!"
However, if you don’t do this, as the soul fire continues to burn, you will keep approaching death. If you don’t devour others, you will die. If you devour others, you will become a monster. If you let Adenos choose, Adenos would rather become a monster and die vigorously, and would not sit and wait for silent death.
"But this feeling is really hard to stop!"
The feeling of devouring other people's consciousness is like being infected with drug addiction, making people unable to stop. The continuous strength visible to the naked eye makes Adenos' desire constantly expand. Even if he knows that there is an abyss in front of him, it still makes people unable to help getting closer. The feeling of falling into the abyss little by little and approaching destruction makes Adenos tremble all over excitedly.
Yadnos held his face and laughed wildly: "Hahahaha, this world, this world!"
