Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 1149 Believers
In the bottomless abyss, an indescribable world.

The stars and the moon round out the night of this world beautifully.But no matter how beautiful the night is, it can only whitewash the sky, but cannot cover up the desolation of the earth and the drying up of life.

This is a nearly deserted world.

On the abandoned continent, a lonely library stands quietly.

The library is full of prosperous decorations, countless books, ornately carved attics and spires, and the painted windows full of stories, the whole is filled with a sense of religious solemnity.In addition, the only creature in the library was sitting silently at the desk at this moment, looking at the void in a daze.

If Angel is here, he will find that its appearance is exactly the same as the statue in the underground hall of the Void Tower.

It is the cruel scholar himself.

The cruel scholar's eyes, which had always been calm, were now a little more suspicious, and even faintly fearful.

Its consciousness came to La Sudran for the second time in a short period of time, which the cruel scholars did not expect. The last time it was because someone wanted to destroy the inscription hub, but this time, it was because of a person with a very strange soul.

The human being said before that all those who peeped into his soul had accidents.It snorted at the time, and didn't understand that what the human being said was not wrong until it actually went to investigate.

The cruel scholar recalled the picture he saw after his consciousness came to him before, and he felt a palpitation in his heart.

It explored the place of the human soul, and then it found a strange wound, the wound was using a power that did not conform to any rules, and the power of the soul was gurgling.Although rare, it is extremely pure.

This method of increasing the quality of the soul out of thin air makes cruel scholars think it is a mysterious thing in a trance.

But just when he was about to look through the wound to see the situation behind him, he felt a terrifying sense of oppression descending on it from a distant time and space.

It didn't even see what happened specifically, the torrent of information full of negative emotions hit its consciousness.

This kind of impact not only hurt the descended consciousness left in La Sudran, but even the body of the cruel scholar was hurt.

The cruel scholar's consciousness was rushed out of the soul by the torrent of information. At that moment, it even felt a kind of rejoicing in its heart.

Because of that terrifying sense of oppression, it has never experienced it since its birth.

After feeling the sense of oppression, the cruel scholar understood that the existence behind the wound was definitely not comparable to it... In fact, it had seen a person known as a "miracle" among human beings in the face of its arrogance. exist.

This "miracle" is also a great figure enough to overlook it.

But even that "miracle" is not as oppressive as the previous one.

There are three levels of miracles, and what it encounters are only humans at the first level of miracles. Perhaps what stands behind that human apprentice is... the existence of the second level of miracles!
Thinking of this, even if it is it, the color of fear flashed in his eyes.

Who is that human apprentice?Who is the existence behind him?
The cruel scholar was thinking silently. From what the apprentice was thinking before, he didn't seem to understand the mystery of the soul... and the existence behind the soul didn't have much influence on the apprentice, at least Mostly just a little bit of soul power flowing.

The coexistence mode between the human apprentice and the terrifying existence behind him made the cruel scholar full of curiosity about the human apprentice while being terrified.

"Both the body and the soul have strange things, and I really want to study them." Cruel interest flashed in its eyes.

This kind of interest is even more exciting to him than the human being he met before.

……

Angel stepped back without a trace.

He didn't know what happened before, but from the current point of view, the cruel scholar bowed his head in silence, and the coercion and sense of prying eyes on his body disappeared. Now is the best time to leave!
Angel didn't dare to make any noise, and just retreated quietly.

Seeing the door behind him, Angel seemed to have seen freedom waving to him——

"Humanity."

A flat, waveless voice suddenly rang in my ears.

Like a malfunctioning machine, Angel turned his head bit by bit, looking at the statue of the cruel scholar in the center, with embarrassment and regret in his eyes.

Facing such a powerful existence, Angel did not dare to provoke at all, and waited respectfully for its next step.

Even if the opponent didn't use coercion, he didn't dare to escape at this time.

"You..." The cruel scholar paused, as if he was thinking about his words, before saying, "You are willing to become my believer."

Angel was stunned. He had guessed what the other party would say in his heart, and even thought about his own tragic end, but he never expected that this sentence would come from the mouth of a cruel scholar.

The so-called believers are actually the admirers of the Demon God.

Among human beings, many wizards lack personal ability, so they will think about going astray.By believing in the demon god and gaining the power of the demon god, you can achieve your goals.

In the Deep Alchemy Society encountered in the Sky Machinery City, almost all the high-level members inside are believers of the Lord of the Deep.

This kind of power is often easy to come by, and can achieve the best effect in a short period of time.But the troubles brought by power are endless. After many people believe in the demon god, although they have made great progress in a short period of time, their potential will gradually disappear.Moreover, believing in a demon god is tantamount to selling one's soul. Even after death, the soul will belong to the demon god, and there is no chance of turning over.

To lure them with short-term benefits to obtain longer-term goals is the method of the demon god.

Therefore, becoming a follower of the Demon God is definitely not a good choice.

When Angel heard this sentence at first, he subconsciously wanted to reject it.However, what he was facing was a demon god who was countless times stronger than him, and Angel was worried that if he refused, he would bring bad consequences for himself.

"I don't know what to do." A cold snort came from the mouth of the cruel scholar.

Angel was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that although he had obtained the "shielding" green pattern just now, he hadn't activated it yet. Obviously, his inner activities had been detected by the other party again.

Angel was a little helpless, he rejected the request of the demon god, and his fate was probably about to die.

However, when Angor was surprised, the cruel scholar didn't seem to do anything to punish him, but just looked at Angor with his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

Angel was very worried, but he didn't know that cruel scholars are also hesitating nowadays.

It said before that it made Angel its believer, which was actually a temptation.Any follower of a demon god will inevitably imprint the mark of the demon god on his body and soul. This is not only for the descending of the will of the demon god, but also for drawing power from the believer and obtaining the soul of the believer.

After seeing the terrifying existence before, the cruel scholar naturally did not dare to imprint the mark of the demon god on this human apprentice. It just wanted to test the bottom line of that existence.

If it keeps a sliver of its own thoughts beside this human apprentice, will it cause a backlash?
——Curiosity about Angor suppressed the inner fear of cruel scholars.

Angor's inner resistance, as expected by the cruel scholar, is now waiting for the reaction of the person behind it.

Five minutes had passed, and Angel found that after the cruel scholar said those words, he didn't move or speak, which made his mood change from apprehension to doubt.

If the cruel scholar really wanted to kill him, any method would do.

It has no follow-up actions now, does it not care about its own rejection?Or does it have other plans?Or maybe he was thinking too much, the cruel scholar didn't care about his little apprentice, whose will had already left La Sudran?
When Angel was thinking this way, there was a sudden sound in the middle of the hall.

Angor looked up. He thought the statue had moved, but it wasn't the statue that made the sound, but the "starving" demon that he had always thought was dead.

That weird demon suddenly woke up, half propped up his withered body, raised his head to the sky and howled, making a weird guttural sound.

With the appearance of the guttural sound, the whole hall was shaking, gravel fell, dust was flying, several falling rocks almost hit him, Angel could only keep moving to avoid, when he recovered, he found himself The location is just next to the gate.

Even, through the hole in the center of the gate, you can see the dim light of the oil lamp outside, as well as the old spiral staircase.

Angel glanced back at the central statue, which was still in an unmoved state.

Angor was overjoyed, the passage to leave was in front of him, he turned around and jumped without hesitation, trying to jump out of the hole.

But at this moment, streaks of light appeared in the center of the hole.

When Angor hit the light streak, it was like hitting rubber, and he was bounced back after a dent.

Angor looked at the light pattern after he settled down, and immediately recognized it. This is an inscription!Now that the inscription hub of La Sudran has been destroyed, how could there be a complete inscription!The only possibility... Angel turned around and looked at the statue in the center.

Now, only cruel scholars can make the inscription reappear!
When Angel looked over, the cruel scholar still didn't move, but the skinny devil stood up unsteadily.

It has a tall and slender figure, and its whole body is covered with loose skin, layered upon layer, covered with strange lines.Its head has almost no flesh, only a few layers of skin drooping.

It has one eye, one horn, and a bloody mouth full of fangs.The shape is scary and weird.

Angel couldn't recognize what kind of demon it was, but he could see that the demon's eyes stared at him suddenly, his eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth were drooling, and he walked towards it with vain steps. Come……

Its gait is flimsy and looks weak, but its speed is fast.

In the blink of an eye, it came to Angel and opened its big scarlet mouth full of fangs...
