Shadow of the Beautiful World

hum

The figures of Merlin and Lord Doom returned to the holy city of Kama Taj.

The two of them seemed to be returning from another world, and like a needle falling into the calm water, when they returned to the present world, they did not stir up any waves at all.

As Merlin's understanding of the quantum world deepens, the phase-walking ability of the quantum state has become more and more powerful, and it is easy to cross the barriers of worlds, planes, and even dimensions.

He is only one step away from truly understanding the secrets of the quantum world and touching the ultimate truth of space.

Once the barrier of obscure knowledge is overcome, Raven's Quantum Charm is truly complete.

At that time, Merlin will be able to reach the ultimate level of being everywhere with a single thought.

And this is just one of the multiple spells recorded in the Raven Book.

Although the great power cannot be superimposed, even if it is used alone, it is scary enough.

Well...

Lord Doom, who landed on the ground again, shook off Merlin's arm. He felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to vomit.

It's really hard to get a new heavenly father to react like that.

Lord Raven didn't feel any discomfort. He had entered the quantum state many times and was used to this uncomfortable change.

He ignored Doom, and waved his hands to shape a chair with magic power, sat on it, and began to inspect the burning skull in his hand.

He lifted Dormammu's skull and placed it in front of his eyes, looking at the eye sockets of the skull that were still burning with fire.

When the four eyes met, Dormammu's mad and vicious roar also rose in the heart of Lord Raven.

You can't kill me! You can't take my dimension!

The evil spirit roared:

I am the eternal soul! Lord of darkness! Don't you think...

Snapped

The expressionless Merlin curled up his fingers, and slammed on the smooth shell of the skull in front of him. The power of vanity oscillated in the skull, suppressing Dormammu's ugly howl.

Beside Merlin, God Lord Dum, who had finally recovered from his stress, looked back at the skull in Raven's hand, and said hoarsely:

It's not bluffing, is it?

Um.

Merlin nodded, and he replied:

Indeed, when Dormammu merged with the will of the dark dimension, he had already entered the realm of eternal life.

It is not an exaggeration to claim that it is immortal. In the past, it has been defeated many times, but no matter how miserable it is, it will eventually make a comeback.

But don't be intimidated, Lord Doom, Dormammu's immortality is a necessary condition.

Lord Raven put away the complete skull in his hands, patted the black embers on his hands, and said to God Lord Doom beside him:

According to my understanding of it, as long as Dormammu still has believers, it will never die.

Well, let's just say that as long as we kill all of its followers...

Doom deserves to be Doom.

Immediately, he said the method of cutting the weeds and roots, and Merlin shrugged his shoulders, and said in a somewhat unmotivated way:

Yes, if you kill all the followers of Dormammu, it will really die, but we don't need to spend that effort.

As long as the dark dimension exists for a day, evil spirits like Dormammu will always be born in the power aggregation of that dimension. There will be tens of thousands of Dormammu.

Lord Raven stood up, and he said to Doom:

So I will deal with him in another way, and you don't have to worry about this matter.

The evening reception is about to begin. It's time for you to meet those people as the Supreme Mage. The remains in your hand are enough to prove that you killed Dormammu. This will make your reputation and power grow as quickly as possible. spread throughout the world.

Merlin winked at Doom and said:

I also suggest that you do the same. God Lord Doom's feat of killing the Lord of the Dark Dimension will definitely scare away all those who are dissatisfied with you, and even scare the old devil in hell.

Having said that, Lord Raven let out a very nasty laugh, as if he had foreseen Mephisto's terrified appearance.

The old devil was a lot of evil, he had too many enemies, and Doom was the least likely to make peace with him.

It is said that Mephisto has been seeking to become Doom's stepfather for the past few years.

I gotta go.

Merlin waved his hand, and he said to the Supreme Mage behind him:

There are still things to be busy at home, and as the Supreme Mage, you shouldn't get too close to the Lord of Hell. This will make many people sleep bad at night. If I want to attack Mephisto, I will You will be notified in advance.

Um.

Doom nodded.

This silent supreme sorcerer had just used the power of the Time Stone for the first time. He had a good understanding, and planned to spend the rest of the time in this quiet room to experience how to use that power.

But when Merlin was about to leave, Dum suddenly said:

Between you and Sannomiya...do you need help?

Lord Raven stopped walking away.

He looked back at Dom with a surprised look, covered by the silver mask, Raven couldn't see Dom's expression, he asked:

How do you know that I'm going to start solving this matter? Have you learned the great prophecy from the book of Emperor Weishan these few days? Listen to me, that kind of magic is a waste of time, especially in this universe. Li, don't go to school.

I don't need a prophecy to guess.

Shenjun pulled his hood, pointed at the sword held by Merlin, and said:

That weird sword is specially prepared for Sannomiya, right?

right.

Merlin didn't hide either.

He caressed Judas in his hand. After killing Domamu, the sword finally suppressed the vanity of the sword and revealed its second stage.

As the master's finger slides along the blade, the sword hums endlessly, as if showing its sharpness and new shape to the master.

It is no longer as gray and inconspicuous as before.

After being washed by the blood of many heavenly fathers, it has taken on a more eye-catching posture.

The sword body is slender, and the spine of the sword forms a gently raised arc.

The blade of the sword shone with a silver-white arc, and several runes were engraved on the spine of the sword. They were spells in the same strain as the Book of Ravens, which meant that this sword and that book were used as a set of magic tools.

The power of both is common.

And under the three-finger-wide blade, the original inconspicuous hilt has also been reshaped into a new posture.

On the blood-colored hilt, there is an irregular sword scorpion like the sharp teeth of a giant beast, which adds a bit of fierceness to the sword itself, and in the middle of the hilt is a black skull. embellishment.

That was a selfless gift from the Black Heart Prince.

The most peculiar thing is that the tail of the sword is not the tail of an ordinary long sword.

Instead, it was shaped into a short blade with a four-sided pointed cone, the length of the middle finger, and a cross-like decoration, which looked like the sharp blade of a spear stabbing backwards.

That was the symbol left after the Spear of Destiny was devoured, and it was also a symbol of the evolution of the sharp blade that Merlin called Judas.

Not all weapons can perfectly carry the power of the Heavenly Father and the Infinity Stone, and not every sword can easily defeat the will body of an evil spirit.

Shenjun put his hands behind his back, and he said to Merlin who was wiping the long sword:

When I got close to that sword, I could still hear its roar. There is a greedy soul in your sword. It ruthlessly devours everything to make itself stronger and sharper.

No one would put such a painstakingly made weapon in the collection room. You made it and held it for the purpose of killing the enemy in your heart one day.

As for the people who you want to kill soon, are there only a few of them?

Dum said:

Sangong is a terrible opponent. Even though I have never come into contact with that super demon, I know that it is not an enemy at the same level as Dormammu.

If you need help, I'll help, Raven.

Under the silver mask of the god, he looked at Merlin and said seriously:

But not until we get rid of Mephisto...

Even if you become the supreme mage, you are still that cunning Doom.

The raven shrugged. Under Doom's gaze, he sent Judas back into the flames of vanity. He patted the book of raven on his waist and said to the supreme mage:

But this matter, I don't need your help, it's my family matter, I will solve it with my sister.

Thank you for your kindness, but we've already agreed.

After speaking, Raven no longer hesitated.

He returned to the quantum state, and jumped back into the wasteland with a posture so close to the horizon. When the figure emerged, he sat firmly on the chair in the throne room.

Icarus, the girl with glasses waiting at the table, did not wait for Merlin's orders, and presented his master with the finished Starry Sky Ink and a pure white quill pen that shimmered.

Merlin spread out the Raven Book, put it on the table, and turned to the blank page, the page just after the death spell.

Same as the previous steps, he took out Dormammu's burning skull, wrapped it with the power of vanity, and in the same action as crushing a heavy object, strands of burning light were dripped into the starry sky ink.

But unlike the previous spells, this time even Icarus, the glasses girl who knew nothing about magic, could clearly hear Dormammu's painful and vicious curse.

It's like the roar of a desperate person, and the power is stirring up the starry ink as a carrier to continuously surge out waves.

It's still alive?

The glasses girl looked at the beating ink in surprise, she flicked the hilt of the sword at her waist.

The mechanical version of the Sword of Oath of Victory has been returned by Hermione, and it now exists as a new pendant for Machina. Icarus does not need this sword for combat.

But this thing from Cybertron does have some kind of ritual symbol.

Although the mechanical girl wearing the mechanical sword is wearing a black short skirt and uniform, but with the long sword, she also has a trace of heroism.

Faced with the glasses girl's question, Merlin picked up the quill, ignoring the boiling ink that was burning like fire, and began to write a new spell on the blank page.

That would be a shadow spell.

Accompanied by the beautiful swashbuckling characters appearing on the page, Lord Raven said:

Yes, it is still alive. The Lord of the Dark Dimension will not accept his fate obediently. It will exist in the form of a spell, and it will constantly try to find its own power.

Its connection with the dark dimension has not been completely interrupted. If we leave it alone, it will one day jump out of the shackles of the Raven Book and become a difficult evil spirit again... This is also my This is the first time I have attempted this kind of divine summoning.

Then just let it go?

The glasses girl said a little worriedly:

Isn't it inappropriate to rashly use this kind of power that still has ontological consciousness?

Of course I won't let it go.

Merlin shook his head and said:

But don't worry too much. I will arrange special people to deal with the affairs of the dark dimension. As for using... no, I will not use Dormammu's power.

Lord Raven looked at the spell that appeared on the page, and he gave Icarus a reassuring smile.

He said:

I don't lack the power to attack. The current spells are enough for this stage.

I just need the knowledge of Dormammu, about the darkness, about the shadows, about the darkness from which the stars are born, and not only it, but another life born in the shadows of the stars.

Merlin wrote the spell leading to the shadow over and over again, while explaining to Icarus:

Gnar, the god of the abyss, I still have an unfinished agreement with it. I swore that I would free it from its long imprisonment and seal.

I don't want to break my promise.

Gnar's shadow of the abyss and Dormammu's dark knowledge will help me perfect this shadow spell. It will not be used for offense, and it does not have other magical qualities, but they are very important to me.

Lord Raven let out a long breath, he said:

After all, without a sufficient understanding of shadows, I have almost no confidence in facing the original shadows.

Walking in the dark, you need to shine your own light to illuminate the way forward. Only when the light is strong enough can you not be swallowed by the darkness.

That's a giant beast, and it's not something you can face casually.

Having said that, Merlin stopped the quill in his hand, raised his head, and said to Icarus:

You help me wake up Ganata, I have something to do for her.

Be careful, she gets up very angry, don't be hurt by her.
