Born to Be Rebellious [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 36 Ragnarok
Continental opposite.
The stacked towering spires point straight to the dark sky of eternal night, and a crimson waning moon hangs far away in the sky, like a wound that has not yet healed.
A strong smell of blood spread in Estemo City.
All the creatures in the city trembled in this unusually dignified atmosphere, even the demons at the top of the food chain in the demon city were no exception.They are more cautious than usual, so as not to cause disaster due to negligence.
——The magic city is about to change.
This is the only consensus among all dark creatures.
Throughout the entire era, the Melville family has been the top nobleman among the high-level demons. Each of their patriarchs has purple eyes bestowed by the God of Darkness and a strong affinity for dark elements, and even leads the entire continent. A deep and powerful mage organization - for tens of thousands of years, their status has never been shaken in the slightest.
Until now.
The current Melville family has made one terrible mistake after another.
The process of finding a way to break the seal can be traced back tens of thousands of years. The research and research of several epochs has made the corpses buried deep under the mage tower deeper and deeper. Apart from voluntary victims, more are wasted and sacrificed. A massacre experiment.In such a long time, only one human survived the terrible experiment, but it was treated as a corpse by the mages of the Melville family. Offset they made such a fatal mistake.
Worse, this is only the beginning.
After a failed search by all staff, they were even reversed, not only letting go of the only key, but also missing the full moon once in a thousand years.
They showed their weak side in front of the whole dark world.
This sunless land honors strength, glorifies cruelty, and extols privilege, and the only thing they cannot tolerate is weakness.
Although the Melville family still retains its former status for the time being, its prestige has long since plummeted. The other demon families that have been suppressed under their feet for thousands of years are ready to move, planning a rebellion or riot to seize the long-coveted Status and power - if they cannot recover their losses in a short period of time, then the only thing waiting for them is to be wiped out and annexed by other high-level demon families.
This is the most heavily guarded mage tower in the millennium.
Numerous high-ranking demons and subordinate demons loyal to the family patrolled the tower closely, casting complex magic circles and guardian spells to protect the entire stone tower airtightly, and there seemed to be some kind of tension that was about to explode everywhere. atmosphere
In the tall spire of the Mage Tower, the thin and dim bloody moonlight could hardly pass through the narrow windows, and the room full of alchemy equipment and old parchment was shrouded in darkness, only the sporadic spell stones on the table shone with subtle light.
Melville paced the room restlessly.
The mage of the Mozu knelt in front of him and said something in a low voice.
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Melville in a heavy tone: "Do you know what your proposal represents?"
The mage choked, and his voice suddenly became weaker. He murmured, "Yes...but, but, my lord, only the attraction between the saint and the saint is certain..."
That's right, Holy Breeding.
Not only the city of Esther, but also the Melville family rose from the burial ground of the dark god.
3 years ago, the God of Light sealed the Godhead of the God of Darkness and all his followers of darkness on the opposite side of the continent.
As the demon clan with the most sensitive perception of dark elements, the ancestors of the Melville family are the existences with the most profound spell attainment among the followers of all the dark gods.
They knew very well from the very beginning that the seal was made of the bones of the Dark God, so naturally it must be broken by the bones of the Dark God—but, during these 3 years, the Melville family had to keep their mouths shut.
After all, experimenting with the remains of gods is the most horrific taboo even on Calvary.
The demons outside the mage tower only know that they are conducting experiments, but they don't know the specific content of the experiments.
Once this matter is leaked, what awaits them may be a situation more terrible than death.
Melville gritted his teeth and asked, "...Are you sure there is no other way?"
The mage was silent, but lowered his head lower.
In fact, Melville did not understand.
Tens of thousands of years of experiments and attempts by their entire family have all ended in failure-that human being is the only variable, but he escaped from them before they continued to study in depth.
The only thing they can rely on is the instinctive attraction between the holy remains.
——What exists in that human body is a piece of divine skeleton belonging to the God of Darkness.And the only way to find him is another bone of God.
The holy skeleton has no effect on the opposite side of the mainland, because this is where the dark god's bones are buried. No matter how many bones there are, they will always point to Estemo City.
But going to the mainland is different.
Melville took a deep breath slowly, turned around, and pressed his arms on the table.
After pondering for a long time, he finally spoke:
"Contact our followers on the ground..."
——In fact, after such a long time, the seal has begun to loosen. Although it can prevent the dark creatures from leaving the abyss, it cannot stop the dark elements from escaping, and those who came to the front of the mainland together are naturally the demons. lure.
The dark god is dead.
But the dark side of the human heart remains forever.
Although they cannot be free, their erosion of the front of the continent has never stopped, and there are more and more followers of darkness hidden under the light.
Melville seemed to have finally made up his mind at this moment, and finished the remaining half of the sentence:
"—Send the holy remains up."
·
Compared with the thin and almost out-of-shape appearance in the last punishment world, Ge Xiu's appearance in this world is obviously much more pleasing.
Especially the zigzag line from the brow bone to the tip of the nose is almost very close to his real appearance, but it is far from being so aggressive, and it is not so beautiful as to make people feel dangerous and oppressive—on the contrary, his current appearance The contours of the face are extremely soft, the cheeks are pale and thin due to injuries, the bones of the mandible are thin and pointed, coupled with those bright and deep black eyes, it is completely a poor boy who has been tortured by dark spells and almost died.
Relying on this fragile and delicate face like a work of art, and his innocent and innocent demeanor, Gexiu gained the love of almost everyone at the fastest speed.
The female members of the team loved him so much that they wanted to give him all the candy. Even Dritter, who was serious by nature, would subconsciously soften his tone when he saw him.
Only paladin Ed was always on guard against him.
He even found an opportunity to chat privately with Drettl several times during the march, each time persuading the other party to be more alert and not to be confused by the appearance of the person in front of him—after all, those powerful mages who surrendered to the darkness , and both are existences with a magnet-like strange charm.
The two parted ways again.
Ed held the white holy sword and walked quickly to the front of the team with a gloomy expression, while Dritter also looked unhappy and worried.He waved away the sound barrier around him, and threw a brief swipe at Gosho who was walking behind the team.
Ge Xiu walked slowly behind the team, took out a candy from his bulging pocket, stuffed it into his mouth, and narrowed his eyes happily.
Under the long eyelashes, the blue sky was reflected in the bottom of his eyes, like the clear lake water locked in the depths of the pupils, glowing with sweet waves.
He returned a bright smile to Dretter, the corners of his raised mouth seemed to be filled with honey, and his expression was innocent, like an ordinary boy who knew nothing about the surging undercurrent.
Except—the sound barrier the mage had put up was pretty much useless to him.
Ge Xiu is very aware of the focus of the dispute between these two people, as long as he wants to, it is very easy to dispel doubts-but he has no intention of resolving this contradiction.
—That would be so boring, wouldn't it.
Ge Xiu jumped over the tree stump lying across the ground, yawned, and raised his hand to rub the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Ever since he came to the front of the mainland, he began to feel drowsy very often, his physical strength also declined rapidly from the previous peak state, and he became more and more likely to feel tired.
He wasn't quite sure why.
Although Gexiu can also see the light elements around him like he can see the dark elements, he can clearly feel that the attitude of the light elements towards him is obviously very cold. He guesses that his affinity for the dark elements is probably higher , so the decline in his physical state is most likely due to leaving the familiar elemental environment.
This change is not completely useless—after leaving the back of the continent, although the severe pain at twelve o’clock every night still comes on time, it is far less severe and terrifying than when it was at Calvary, and this pain can be tolerated , almost like scratching an itch compared to what it was before.
However, in addition to this guess, there is another possibility.
——After all, he also experienced a similar experience in the last punishment world.
This means that his vitality is gradually withdrawing from his body, and the time to leave is quietly approaching.
At this moment, suddenly, a distant exclamation pulled Gexiu out of his thoughts.
"careful!"
Ge Xiu raised his head and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
He was not tall, and the team members standing in front of him almost completely blocked his vision, so he couldn't see what was happening at the front of the team.
But Gosho's vision is different from ordinary people.
He fixed his gaze on the void above everyone's heads, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
After coming to the front of the mainland for such a long time, he has always been surrounded by strong light elements, like soft and sparkling light flocs, occupying every inch of the air, but in the far away air, it seems like light. Thick ink dripped into the sea, and a bit of cold and gloomy cloud spread and expanded above people's heads.
Gexiu recognized the familiar faces on the back of the continent almost instantly.
dark element.
Noisy noises came from the crowd in front again, followed by the metal friction sound of sword blades being unsheathed, and the crisp sound of the golden iron weapon was extremely penetrating, almost splitting the crowd between the walls in an instant. Humming whispers.
The deep voice of Drettl chanting the purification spell sounded.
The light ahead suddenly shines brightly.
At this moment, a slender girl squeezed out from the team. It was the girl who found Gexiu by the lake. Her eyes were shining, and she reached out to hold Gexiu's hand:
"Quick! The teacher is releasing the purification spell in front! This is the first time I have really seen the dark element, come on! Otherwise, I won't be able to see it after the teacher finishes singing!"
Emily hurriedly wanted to turn her head and walk back, but she tugged, but didn't.
"Eh?"
She frowned and looked behind her with some doubts.
But he saw the slender young man standing firmly in place, frowning slightly, staring at the sky not far away thoughtfully, as if he was studying something.
His pupils were pitch-black, like an abyss where no light could enter, and the contemplation and scrutiny without any human emotion made people feel chills all over his body.
Although it was still a familiar face from that chapter, Emily felt extremely strange and uneasy inexplicably.
She subconsciously turned to look in the direction of Ge Xiu's line of sight - but saw nothing.
The clear sky was dyed red by the bright sunset glow, just like a huge picture scroll laid out without a trace of haze.
Emily shrank her shoulders, looked at Ge Xiu again, and asked in a low voice with some anxiety: "What are you looking at?"
Before she could finish her sentence, she felt the young man's slender fingers suddenly tightened violently, pulling herself towards him.
Emily let out a low cry of pain, and was staggered when she was caught off guard. Before she could react, she stumbled and fell towards Gexiu. There was a sprained pain in her ankle, and she almost lost control fell sideways.
"what are you doing?!"
Emily was startled and angry, but before she could get angry, she heard a tooth-piercing "cluck" sound from behind, as if it sounded behind her ear, making her groan behind her back. A layer of cold sweat broke out, and he hurriedly turned his head to look behind him.
I saw that at the place where she was standing just now, the soil had been turned over at some point, and a white skeleton came out of the ground, and the friction between the bones made a harsh "clack" sound, and the dark eyes were burning with faint blue eyes. Soul Fire, looks gloomy and terrifying—there was a series of screams from the team in front, obviously the same problem appeared in the front, several of them had been grabbed by their ankles, and were pulled into the mud one after another. go.
At this moment, Ed's unbelievable exclamation came from the front:
"...Necromancer!"
The chants of light in front suddenly intensified, and the bright white light seemed to contain powerful power, instantly enveloping the team in that warm light, and the skeletons made more piercing rattling sounds, the seemingly hard bones were surrounded by the light element. Corrosion melted during the purification effect, and soon flowed down like silt, but outside the barrier of the light spell, more skeletons crawled out from below the ground, and the pale and gloomy finger bones glowed with a ghostly cold light, a stream of decay The cold breath instantly surrounded everyone.
The others finally reacted one after another, and more chants joined in, and the light suddenly became brighter.
But at the same time that the barrier was solidified, the clouds above the head gradually covered, spreading at an extremely abnormal speed, covering the sky and sunset in an instant, and then, a throne made of countless white bones appeared in the air. Slowly appearing in the middle, a skinny man wearing a hood was sitting on it, the skinny joints resting on the white bones were glowing with an unhealthy pale green, and the body was entwined with a frightening breath of death.
Emily gasped under pressure, her pupils constricted slightly, and she turned her head in disbelief to look at Ge Xiu who was standing not far from her.
——The position where the bone seat appeared happened to be the direction he was gazing just now.
Could it be that he discovered the traces of the Necromancer before everyone else?
impossible!
When he was still in a coma, Mr. Drettl once tested him for his magic talent and elemental affinity, which were even slightly lower than the normal level of ordinary people. How could he detect the undead before the academy tutor and the Holy See knight? traces of...?
This... this is totally illogical.
Difficult, could it be that I misread it just now?
Emily didn't know what to do, and subconsciously raised her hand to gently stroke her still red wrist.
Ed, who was standing at the front of the team, was also unbelievable—this was just a bronze-level purification task, how could he encounter a necromancer?Even a paladin directly under the Holy See would not be able to solve a task of this level alone, let alone... this necromancer is obviously capable of summoning dark products from the front of a continent where light elements dominate, even if it is just a skeleton made of alchemy, It's incredible enough.
It just goes to show...he's very powerful.
Ed tightly clutched the hilt of his sword, as if facing a formidable enemy.
At this moment, the necromancer spoke, the only jaw that could be seen under the hood was pale and shriveled, but his voice was extremely deep and magnetic, as sweet and mellow as fine wine, when he heard it:
"I didn't expect that the lackeys of the Holy See and the trash of the academy could find me. It seems that I underestimated you."
Ed's eyes widened suddenly, his jaw was clenched tightly, his masseter muscle was almost tense - he recognized the voice.
Now he finally remembered who this was in front of him.
The undead mage who severely damaged the White Knights Expedition of the Holy See three months ago and escaped unscathed.He was the first follower of darkness to appear in front of the Holy See of Light, like the first domino to be toppled. After him, more necromancers appeared one after another throughout the continent.
This necromancer is extremely dangerous, and now they even... have a few academy apprentices who haven't cultivated a sense of combat.
Drettl leaned his staff slightly forward and made a defensive posture in a subtle way. He raised his voice and said calmly:
"I'm very sorry to disturb your Excellency, we are just passing by, and we will leave now."
The necromancer seemed to be thinking about something seriously, and after a long time, he said, "If that's the case, then I'm not an unreasonable person."
His voice is friendly and friendly, like a close teacher or friend, but no one dares to take it lightly.The pale blue skinny knuckles were on the skull inlaid on the seat, and a thin green snake came out of the dark eye sockets of the skull and wrapped around his wrist, the regular knocking sound His heart was almost lifted, and he kindly added the second half of the sentence: "...choose four people to stay, and the rest can leave."
"……what?!"
——Even including Gexiu who was picked up halfway, their entire team is only ten people.
Ed's eyes widened, staring at the Necromancer in disbelief.
"My seat needs new bones." The necromancer stroked the thin little snake affectionately, as if stroking his lover's cheek: "It's rare for me to be kind today, and I can make a little compromise for you—you can You choose who goes and who stays."
The atmosphere fell into a stalemate for a moment.
"It's rare to be kind?" Drettl's voice became cold and hard: "You are just enjoying the fun of manipulating people's hearts."
His words seemed to be a contract that had been agreed upon long ago——In an instant, the tip of the staff in Driter's hand shone brightly, and with a metal sound of "clang", the holy sword blessed by the blessing of light came out. Sheath, the figure of the Templar Knight is like a lightning bolt piercing the darkness, following the mage's attacking spell, he rushed forward——!
The two seem to have a tacit understanding, and their movements are coordinated perfectly and quickly.
As personnel with rich practical experience, they have long known that the trick with necromancers is not to trust them, let alone think that they can get any sympathy—from the beginning to the present, they are just looking for It's just an opportunity to take the initiative.
At the same time, the voices of all the students chanting incantations suddenly increased, and the barriers around them suddenly shone brighter, almost dispelling a little of the dark clouds over their heads.
The Necromancer snorted coldly.
In the next second, the entire bone seat disappeared from the air, and both the sword and the spell were empty.
"I don't know good from bad." Only his voice, gloomy like the first rainstorm, came from all directions:
"Since you are not willing to accept my proposal, then I have no choice but to skin and bone your beloved students one by one in front of you. There are old parts on my seat that need to be replaced—don't worry, I'm already very skilled , Their bones must be very white and beautiful under my treatment, just like the most perfect artwork."
Drettl was startled and turned around quickly, the protective shield released by the staff enveloped all the students in it almost instantly.
However, that black shadow was too fast.
Like a sharp weapon ruthlessly tearing apart the light, the shadow suddenly struck with terrifying force, and a large piece of the barrier was suddenly missing as if a big hole had been eaten away.
The figure of the necromancer slowly appeared above the rear of the team.
The difference is that this time there is an extra person in his hand.
The atmosphere froze for a moment, trapping everyone in place like a viscous solid.
The necromancer smiled: "Why don't we start with this beautiful young man."
He lowered his head, his eyes fell on his victim this time, but the trembling, panic and hysteria he expected did not appear as he expected——
Instead, he met a pair of eyes that were looking at him.
The young man held tightly in his palm was so calm beyond imagination, he looked at the necromancer who was close in front of him calmly and curiously, a strange look shone in the depths of his pupils, It seems that some kind of unstable factor is trembling, tearing, eagerly trying to break free from the cage, but the most difficult emotion to ignore... is actually interest.
Like...he's amused by what's going on.
The stacked towering spires point straight to the dark sky of eternal night, and a crimson waning moon hangs far away in the sky, like a wound that has not yet healed.
A strong smell of blood spread in Estemo City.
All the creatures in the city trembled in this unusually dignified atmosphere, even the demons at the top of the food chain in the demon city were no exception.They are more cautious than usual, so as not to cause disaster due to negligence.

——The position where the bone seat appeared happened to be the direction he was gazing just now.
Could it be that he discovered the traces of the Necromancer before everyone else?
impossible!
When he was still in a coma, Mr. Drettl once tested him for his magic talent and elemental affinity, which were even slightly lower than the normal level of ordinary people. How could he detect the undead before the academy tutor and the Holy See knight? traces of...?
This... this is totally illogical.
Difficult, could it be that I misread it just now?
Emily didn't know what to do, and subconsciously raised her hand to gently stroke her still red wrist.
Ed, who was standing at the front of the team, was also unbelievable—this was just a bronze-level purification task, how could he encounter a necromancer?Even a paladin directly under the Holy See would not be able to solve a task of this level alone, let alone... this necromancer is obviously capable of summoning dark products from the front of a continent where light elements dominate, even if it is just a skeleton made of alchemy, It's incredible enough.
It just goes to show...he's very powerful.
Ed tightly clutched the hilt of his sword, as if facing a formidable enemy.
At this moment, the necromancer spoke, the only jaw that could be seen under the hood was pale and shriveled, but his voice was extremely deep and magnetic, as sweet and mellow as fine wine, when he heard it:
"I didn't expect that the lackeys of the Holy See and the trash of the academy could find me. It seems that I underestimated you."
Ed's eyes widened suddenly, his jaw was clenched tightly, his masseter muscle was almost tense - he recognized the voice.
Now he finally remembered who this was in front of him.
The undead mage who severely damaged the White Knights Expedition of the Holy See three months ago and escaped unscathed.He was the first follower of darkness to appear in front of the Holy See of Light, like the first domino to be toppled. After him, more necromancers appeared one after another throughout the continent.
This necromancer is extremely dangerous, and now they even... have a few academy apprentices who haven't cultivated a sense of combat.
Drettl leaned his staff slightly forward and made a defensive posture in a subtle way. He raised his voice and said calmly:
"I'm very sorry to disturb your Excellency, we are just passing by, and we will leave now."
The necromancer seemed to be thinking about something seriously, and after a long time, he said, "If that's the case, then I'm not an unreasonable person."
His voice is friendly and friendly, like a close teacher or friend, but no one dares to take it lightly.The pale blue skinny knuckles were on the skull inlaid on the seat, and a thin green snake came out of the dark eye sockets of the skull and wrapped around his wrist, the regular knocking sound His heart was almost lifted, and he kindly added the second half of the sentence: "...choose four people to stay, and the rest can leave."
"……what?!"
——Even including Gexiu who was picked up halfway, their entire team is only ten people.
Ed's eyes widened, staring at the Necromancer in disbelief.
"My seat needs new bones." The necromancer stroked the thin little snake affectionately, as if stroking his lover's cheek: "It's rare for me to be kind today, and I can make a little compromise for you—you can You choose who goes and who stays."
The atmosphere fell into a stalemate for a moment.
"It's rare to be kind?" Drettl's voice became cold and hard: "You are just enjoying the fun of manipulating people's hearts."
His words seemed to be a contract that had been agreed upon long ago——In an instant, the tip of the staff in Driter's hand shone brightly, and with a metal sound of "clang", the holy sword blessed by the blessing of light came out. Sheath, the figure of the Templar Knight is like a lightning bolt piercing the darkness, following the mage's attacking spell, he rushed forward——!
The two seem to have a tacit understanding, and their movements are coordinated perfectly and quickly.
As personnel with rich practical experience, they have long known that the trick with necromancers is not to trust them, let alone think that they can get any sympathy—from the beginning to the present, they are just looking for It's just an opportunity to take the initiative.
At the same time, the voices of all the students chanting incantations suddenly increased, and the barriers around them suddenly shone brighter, almost dispelling a little of the dark clouds over their heads.
The Necromancer snorted coldly.
In the next second, the entire bone seat disappeared from the air, and both the sword and the spell were empty.
"I don't know good from bad." Only his voice, gloomy like the first rainstorm, came from all directions:
"Since you are not willing to accept my proposal, then I have no choice but to skin and bone your beloved students one by one in front of you. There are old parts on my seat that need to be replaced—don't worry, I'm already very skilled , Their bones must be very white and beautiful under my treatment, just like the most perfect artwork."
Drettl was startled and turned around quickly, the protective shield released by the staff enveloped all the students in it almost instantly.
However, that black shadow was too fast.
Like a sharp weapon ruthlessly tearing apart the light, the shadow suddenly struck with terrifying force, and a large piece of the barrier was suddenly missing as if a big hole had been eaten away.
The figure of the necromancer slowly appeared above the rear of the team.
The difference is that this time there is an extra person in his hand.
The atmosphere froze for a moment, trapping everyone in place like a viscous solid.
The necromancer smiled: "Why don't we start with this beautiful young man."
He lowered his head, his eyes fell on his victim this time, but the trembling, panic and hysteria he expected did not appear as he expected——
Instead, he met a pair of eyes that were looking at him.
The young man held tightly in his palm was so calm beyond imagination, he looked at the necromancer who was close in front of him calmly and curiously, a strange look shone in the depths of his pupils, It seems that some kind of unstable factor is trembling, tearing, eagerly trying to break free from the cage, but the most difficult emotion to ignore... is actually interest.
Like...he's amused by what's going on.
