Ke Lin hid in the underground waterway in the slums for a day and a night.

After becoming a dead soul, he could clearly sense the fluctuations of life, and naturally he could sense the back and forth of the patrolling city defense forces and the Judgment Knight who had the strongest life force on the ground.

Realizing that a force that does not belong to life is approaching, Ke Lin vaguely guessed the identity of the person.

"Victor?"

"You did not abide by the agreement, Kelin Baier." The lich cast a transformation technique on himself, passing through the sewer entrance blocked by debris in an aerosol manner, and found the former evil mage hiding underground.

"I was driven by instinct to kill a few beggars sleeping on the streets. Isn't this abide by the agreement?" Since the transformation has been completed, Ke Lin did not want to have any connection with Victor anymore. He just waited for Jing Yao to lift the strict investigation and would leave this small country forever, go to a border where no one knew him, and continue to explore the more difficult and complex spell realm.

"Just just killed a few beggars?" With a sneer, Victor approached Ke Lin, who had lost some of his magic power because of his transformation. He spread his hands and let him see clearly that his palms were burned with two black marks.

"Just because you can't control yourself, I almost got the light judgment in the church!"

"That... has nothing to do with me. Our agreement has been completed and we do not owe each other." Ke Lin remained calm on the surface, and was very surprised. He felt the holy power remaining in the two black scorch marks. It can be roughly inferred how strong the power Victor was under at that time.

He will never die after ate the Holy Light and judge... He is really an ordinary undead priest?

"I originally didn't want to deprive you of your thinking. After all, it takes a certain mind to rule the Necrotic Sect, but after this incident, I changed my mind."

Realizing the bad things in Victor's words, Ke Lin pulled out only half of the staff from his arms. Although the transformation lost a lot of magic power, he was confident that he still had the ability to compete.

"Hmph... Do you think you are still the arrogant evil mage Kelin Baier? After being on the church's wanted list, you are not only in Jingyao, but also in any place in the southern continent. From Taran to the northern continent, you must use the realm gate, the birds and the sea boats. These are key means of transportation for strict inspection and control by border countries. Do you really think you can reach the northern continent, which is known as the paradise of the dark tribe, by your own strength?"

"What do you want?" Ke Lin asked while secretly preparing him to use the most skilled silent spell. This is not a mage duel in the academy, but also rules and regulations. The difference between life and death is a matter of difference, so he cannot bear the slightest chance.

“Uncertainty must be completely killed before it becomes a crisis.”

He did not summon the Black Scythe to seize life, nor did he use spells. Vic just whispered a word that Ke Lin could not understand.

"Crack!" A crisp sound echoed in the sewer.

Ke Lin's right hand broke from his shoulder, and his whole arm and half of his staff fell on the wet brick floor.

"Bastard... you actually impolite me!" Ke Lin cursed, already understanding what was happening to him.

"You underestimated the priest's ability, Ke Lin." Although Ke Lin was worried and participated in the drawing of the transformation array, he was not a clergyman in the end. He did not notice that Victor had tampered with several prayers, and the subtle changes caused earth-shaking changes in the transformation results.

"Since you are an evil person, you can accept the defeat easily if you lose. Why do you have to lose your composure?" Looking at Ke Lin who was trying to regain control of his body, Victor slowly stepped forward and took out a crystal bottle containing blood from the magic bag he carried with him. He stained with the blood of the magic to start drawing the spell on Ke Lin's forehead.

"Damn...what do you want to do to me?"

"Didn't you just say that I've given up on cooperation. What about you, let's be my thread-pulling in the future."

Every time he painted a spell, Ke Lin felt that part of his spiritual consciousness had been taken away. He no longer had the energy to seize control of his body and turned to the last line of defense that had full strength to trap the spirit.

He sacrificed so much and gave up so much, so he could not only be someone else's . He was unwilling to accept it...

"Do you regret it?" Seeing that Ke Lin was still unwilling to see the reluctance flashing in his eyes that had completely turned into Chi Yan, Victor paused slightly: "Do you regret your abandoning your lover and sacrificing your son who continued his bloodline?"

"You! How did you know?" Ke Lin was shocked. He didn't expect Victor to know what he did thirty years ago.

"I feel sorry for you, Ke Lin. Do you still remember what happened that night? I pretended to be your old lover, Karen, to test your abandonment of humanity. Her appearance did not arouse your alert at all. This is the first step in your failure. I saw Karen in the Tower of Shadows. It was not a lifeless corpse, but a living. She was not dead, but just crazy, treating me as a heartless person who abandoned her, and accusing your crimes over and over again. However, in order to comply with your agreement with you, I killed her. It's so pitiful. She fell in a pool of blood and still recited your name until her death..."

"Stop!" Ke Lin was in a state of chaos, and a loophole immediately appeared in the mental defense wall.

"Distracting at such an important moment is the second step in your failure." With Ke Lin's disorder, Victor further invaded his spiritual realm.

"No! I'm unwilling to give up. I don't want to be a . I give up everything I want to be a human being. I don't want to get such an ending!" Seeing that the situation was over, Ke Lin let out a helpless roar.

"There is nothing to be unwilling to be. Everyone in this world is a . Even I am just a piece in the hands of the Lich King that helped him win."

The more spells were written, it soon occupied most of Ke Lin's body surface. Victor's answer raised Ke Lin's anger to the highest level.

"Since that's the case, why are you..."

"Ah... I can understand this feeling of powerlessness and frustration, and the feeling of wanting to resist. But... if you lose, you lose. Your awareness is not high enough, Ke Lin. What you gave up is a little worse than me, so the final victory belongs to me. And from now on, you can only be a who obeys my orders, without freedom and autonomy. If it weren't for the fact that you and me are in a similar situation, I wouldn't bother to say so much to you. Well, the curse has been completed." After capping the bottle, Victor took off his mask and used his original mask to say the final goodbye to Ke Lin.

"Goodbye, Kelin Bayer."

With wide eyes, Ke Lin's eyes remained on Victor's appearance.

"You... aren't Victor?"

"I am Victor, but I am not called Wood. Before the fall, my clan's surname chant." He covered Ke Lin's eyes that he refused to close. Victor's gaze moved down and saw something unexpected in Ke Lin's slightly bent palm of his left hand - the Heart of the Rose. The token of love that Ke Lin said to use it to get rid of moral constraints.
