Atlas Double Star Book

"She's pregnant! How could it be...she...ah!"

Neil suddenly remembered——

It's the magic flag.

The girl was hurt by the magic flag in the dungeon, probably at that time...

"I don't know, I don't know about this!" Peleas panicked, as if he was all responsible, "I did remove the part of her body that was contaminated by black magic, but I didn't expect that she was pregnant, so the child Instead, it becomes a source of pollution.”

Both of them were stunned, but Heather stepped forward and stabbed the spear at the monster's throat without hesitation!The monster didn't dodge, and let the sharp blade penetrate the translucent flesh, cutting the throat, and the blood spattered,

"Gah... ah..."

The monster couldn't make a sound anymore and screamed hoarsely.The girl's face revealed a painful expression, her swollen and scaly body shook, and the tiger head and the human head on her back wailed at the same time.

Neil was stunned, thinking this must be a nightmare.

Shinan roared: "Don't stand still, kill her! This is already a monster!"

"But, but..."

Pelias understood, and immediately released the explosion technique that had been woven in his heart before!The internal organs of the monster instantly rose to extremely high temperature!It exploded from the inside out!Heather covered her companion with a protective spell, and the two mages cooperated seamlessly.Huge energy bursts through the cramped attic!

After the loud bang, the rubble gradually subsided, and most of the attic had been blown away.

"Ahem, ahem!" Pelias couldn't stand the dust.

"Don't relax, that guy is still there!"

In the smoke and dust, there was indeed a figure standing there.Heather and Peleas had long expected that they would not be able to kill the black mage. If they did not cut off the source of its spells, the sticky shadow would be able to regenerate as many times as they wanted.

The voice said:

"Why didn't you use such a powerful explosion technique when the monsters attacked the city just now?" The faceless man came from the smoke and dust, "How long have you prepared for such a complicated spell, such a complicated spell? You fought against wild boars in a small village." Did you start weaving this spell when you were a monster?"

The black mage went on to say: "This level of destructive spells should be the limit of the academy's spell system? If it is a warlock, I am afraid that I will have to rest for a long time. If a scholar with a thin 'roster' uses this spell more often , I’m afraid it was consumed long ago. Just like you did at that time, you only used spells to kill a few mercenaries, and as a result, most of the ‘roster’ was consumed.”

Peleas would not admit it.

"In the final analysis, it is because the academy has deliberately limited the power of spells. This restriction is at the cost of consuming the mage's life... Don't you think it is not worthwhile? The effect is not much, but it consumes double the life." Hei The mage said: "Tell me, the great scholar Agnes is so outstanding, how could she design a spell system with such obvious flaws? Why should she spend her life as the price of spells? Because she did it on purpose."

Peleas retorted:

"Whispering! You just want to say that the ancient spells are far superior to the current spell system of the academy. Indeed, I admit that there is a huge difference in effect between the two. But the consideration of the great scholar Agnes is necessary, because it is The unrestrained use of magic has caused the destruction of Ibane, and the mages must be responsible for it!"

"You still think so?" The black mage laughed, "Agnes set up a system for mages to self-destruct. If they run out of 'rosters', they will die. Aren't you a victim of the academy's magic system? Neil Bourne Didn't Harder almost never come back from the 'book' to save you? Why bother mages, not Dienrian wizards, they can use large spells for nothing like ancient Ibagne mages, You must have seen it too."

"Wrong!" Pelias snapped, "Among all the wizards, only the 'Fire Talker' can use spells, and the 'Fire Talker' also uses life as a medium to borrow the power of the source. Once it is exhausted, he It's possible..."

Omg.

Peleas suddenly understood, logic and phenomenon, the rotating fragments are united at this moment.

"Once the soul fire of the 'Fire Talker' is exhausted, he may become a nameless monster, the 'Salad' that the Dienrians call..."

How can it be?Could it be that the answer he was looking for had always happened to the Dienrians?

The black mage guided him with great interest: "Yeah, haven't you thought about the symptoms of a mage before the roster is exhausted? Why is the hair turning white and scales growing? You didn't realize that your body...was To transform into something inhuman?"

It's not that Pelias didn't think about it, it's just that he didn't want to believe it.If his experiments on monsters and his guesses on the Dienrians are correct, then...the existence of the "roster" is not just for mages to use the power of the source, it is actually a self-destruct mechanism that requires mages to Self-destruct before becoming a monster.

That is to say, the mage does not die when the "roster" is exhausted; but because the mage, as a container, is about to be transformed into a monster by the huge power of the source, so the self-destruct mechanism of the "roster" is activated-forcibly swallowing the mage back as the source book of".

"Do you understand now?" The black mage crossed his fingers, as if the persuasive teacher finally got a satisfactory answer, "The founder of your academy, the torch bearer, and the guardian of civilization—the great scholar Agnes, she The purpose of setting up the 'roster' is to kill you."

Heather was stunned, she couldn't accept it.

Strangely enough... Peleas wasn't shocked at all, as if he knew about it long ago and just hadn't been willing to face it.Why?He tried to remember.

Neil couldn't understand, so naturally he didn't care about the bewitching words.He was just looking for the corpse of the monster wholeheartedly, wanting to know if the girl was dead or alive.After a violent explosion, only the broken corpses of monsters remained among the remnants of the tiles.Neil found half of the girl's face stuck to the wall!He remembered the little girl's smile when she talked about the academy, and couldn't help crying.

The black mage said: "Do you still want to protect that academy now? It still deceives the mages and the whole world with beautiful rhetoric and dreams. What's the point?"

Peleas remembered!

"You are nothing more than repeating my point of view in "Nine Chapters". You peek at my memory."

"That's right, I peeked at your research, so what? Peleas, you are such an interesting person... At that time, you were about to exhaust the 'roster' and die, and you started to study yourself? You recorded The process of changing the body little by little, thinking about the relationship between the 'roster', life and transformation. Then came to this terrible conjecture. Are you also frightened by the research results yourself? So you choose to die with "Nine Chapters", without leaving manuscripts in the world."

Peleas said firmly: "I understand Agnes's considerations. The mage borrows the power of the source to surpass ordinary people..."

"That's right, a mage is beyond ordinary people. It can be said to be the 'dragon prototype'. In other words, a mage is a human being who is qualified to become a dragon. The 'roster' prevents this process."

"That's a monster."

"No, it's the 'possibility of species'," the black mage shrugged with a smile, "but to be honest, my starting point is indeed very different from that lord. I do these things because I want to see the limits of spells. Where. Peleas, you should understand me, because you want to see it too, right? Come, let me fulfill your wish."

The Black Mage doesn't chant mantras, he just opens his arms—

Called by that gesture, the abyss came.

Earth's veins sensed again!A strong earthquake slapped the town like an upturned hand—houses collapsed, towers tilted, clocks shattered one after another, walls were torn like cloth, and a strong wind rose from the east, blowing the dust and the screams of the crowd to the west .One by one, houses and hospitals collapsed and shattered, and the wailing from the depths of the earth drowned out the cries.

The town is like a smoothed sand pile.

After an unknown amount of time, Pelias finally regained consciousness from the dizziness.The pain in his body was unbearable, and there was darkness and stones all around him.He gradually realized that the building had collapsed and he was among the ruins.

"Neil..."

And most importantly how is Neil doing!But he couldn't see clearly, and he couldn't move his body.Pelias was in a hurry, struggling to recite the incantation, and lit the magic light to illuminate the ruins.where is neil !

When Pelias was about to call out, he froze.

"Teacher, are you safe and well?" Neil smiled haggardly, slightly closing his eyes due to the dazzling spell light.So he is here!When the building collapsed, Neil had already protected the teacher under his body.The beams in the attic were broken in half, and half of them were pressing down on Neil's back, and he kept holding on.

"!!!" Pelias was so anxious that he went crazy, angrily cast a transporting spell and threw away the half-beam that was holding down Neil.

The pressure disappeared instantly, and Neil's arms couldn't hold up any longer, and he fell on Pelias in embarrassment.Because of the excessive force, the wound on his head split open, blood soaked the ends of his hair, and flowed down half of his face.

"Neil, Neil, Neil! I..." Peleas hugged the young man, almost crying.He flusteredly inspected Neil's whole body, checked the wound on his head, the blood on his face, and the back where he was hit, and even used spells to examine Neil's internal organs.

"Ah, I'm fine, teacher. My arms are a little sore. My back may be bruised and bruised. It's nothing else... Hehe, don't worry." Neil was very satisfied when he was hugged by the teacher, and even asked Being patted on the head.But his head was covered in blood, and Pelias didn't have that leisure at all, so he focused on treating the wound urgently with magic.

"Just a kiss from the teacher." Neil insisted.

Pelias had no choice but to perfunctorily kiss the corner of the student's eyes, and then continued to work on the treatment.

Neil smiled contentedly, and immediately jumped up with vigor, stretching his arms, as if a kiss really had such a miraculous effect.Pelias was dumbfounded, and then suddenly realized that Neil was faking his previous weakness!He was ashamed for a moment, then angry, and finally said coldly:

"Neil Bernhard."

"I'm a knight, what is this injury? Don't worry." Neil pulled up the corner of his shirt and wiped the blood off his face.His sight finally stopped being red, and he looked for Shinan.

Finally, they found the sorceress unconscious on the ruins to the east.Fortunately, Heather was not seriously injured, and Pelias treated her wound urgently.After a while, Heather woke up, and she called the girl's name.

"She's dead." Neil lowered his head.

"No...not yet, look there..." Peleas pointed to the sky.

The monster is there.

Above the towns and ruins, terrifying and gigantic monsters hovered.Two pairs of transparent bat wings flap vigorously, and the translucent legs are bloated and covered with scales, like fish tails.The girl's head was lowered, overlooking the world.

It hovers, its deformed body glows blue in the dark, and its scales are as bright as gems.

"Impossible, the teacher's spell obviously made it explode. I also saw its corpse...how is it intact now?" Neil squinted his eyes to observe, he saw the baby in the monster's belly, and shuddered.

"It's an earthquake," said Heather.

"It's very possible...the black mage must have cast some kind of spell in the leylines, using the continuous energy in the earth to create monsters, and connecting the monsters with the leylines as the source of energy. He can even control earthquakes."

Just as they were guessing, the monster in the sky suddenly stopped.She spread out her deformed arms—

Heather suddenly realized what the monster was going to do, and shouted: "Peleas! She's calling acid rain with meteorology—!"

The two mages hastened to join hands and unlocked the weather technique that was about to take shape word by word.The sour smell in the air gradually faded away, and Peleas summoned a strong and impetuous north wind, blowing away the poisonous clouds in an instant.

"What does this mean?" Neil still didn't understand.

"To put it simply, this monster can spell." Peleas said, "She just wanted to summon corrosive rain. Now the houses in the city are severely damaged. Once it rains, people can't escape at all, and they will undoubtedly die."

"..." Neil wanted to ask why the monster could use spells, but suddenly remembered that this monster was transformed by Ophelia, and he was speechless.

Heather whispered: "I taught her, I taught her... I should have protected her."

"It's not your fault, Heather... the most urgent thing is to solve this problem."

"She's not a problem!" Heather burst out.

Pelias looked at his friend calmly until Heather also calmed down, "Actually, you are the first to understand that she is no longer Ophelia. Heather, she can't come back..."

Heather didn't answer, but looked at the monster hovering in the sky.

Beside the monster, there is a black shadow hanging, that is the black mage.He was observing his own creation, testing the power and deeds of monsters.As if noticing this, the black mage looked at the three people in the ruins and made a farewell gesture.

"I'm going to kill him! I swear to the twin gods of Tranquility, Dolan and Agwa——I'm going to kill this guy myself!" Heather roared, no longer caring about the danger of cursing.

After that, the monster flew to the west and disappeared from everyone's sight...

Towards the imperial capital.
