Chapter 353 [Deathrattle Demon·Mourner]!
After promoting [Abyss] to the fourth level of destiny and obtaining the profession "Devil Mentor", Luo Xiu has obtained the qualification to summon and contract with demons.
And he has also prepared for the next summons - Luo Xiu is fully prepared with the necessary knowledge for the summoning ceremony, the materials used as spiritual foundations, and the souls to be sacrificed.
His eyes then looked at the obsidian cage in front of him, his pupils lit up with a dim deep purple luster, and his fingers were already caressing the wall of the storage bracelet.
A mass of dead silence exuding deep darkness was slowly lifted out of the bracelet by Luo Xiu.
——[Death Crystal Block (Legendary)]!
That was the drop obtained when purifying the "Death God's Heir" nearly a month ago.
There were originally two crystal nuggets of "legendary" quality. After one of them was handed over to Holy Deacon Hubert, the other was embezzled by Luo Xiu and has been kept until now——
Using "legendary" quality death crystals for the summoning of demons is an arrangement that Luo Xiu has already made!
In Luo Xiu's hands, the heterogeneous pitch-black crystal was emitting a deep, pitch-black dim light.
Even though some time has passed since it was obtained from the collapsed body of the "Death God's Heir", the death spirituality contained in it is still quite strong.
The spiritual strands condensed by physical death are crawling like undercurrents on the smooth surface. Just touching it with fingers and gently supporting it with palms, the excessively cold touch still makes Luo Xiu's skin felt obvious tingling.
That is the smell of aging and apoptosis... Luo Xiu held it in his hand and gently placed the thing that sealed death into the obsidian cage in front of him.
Then he took his hands away, his right hand holding a colorfully patterned dagger that had been "engraved in the abyss", and his left hand holding the blade tightly.
——His!
The dagger blade was pulled out from the clenched palm, and blood hung on the blade, swimming on the surface of the blade, smearing the colorful colors with layers of bright red——
The blood also flowed down from Luo Xiu's palm. gather , was dripped on the surface of the "Death Spirit Crystal", causing the dark mist that filled it to disperse a little, and the deeper and more surging death fog, which had turned scarlet color, also instantly disappeared from the Death Spirit Crystal. Scattered out from among them!
At this point, the blood contract resonance with the summoned spirit base and the "Death Spirit Crystal" has been established. The technical knowledge related to "Demon Summoning" also appeared in Luo Xiu's mind, and the dagger in his hand has also been withdrawn. His fingers caressed the mithril ring that sealed the soul.
Invoking the skill of "Soul Manipulator", dozens of dark purple spiritual tentacles were withdrawn from the ring surface, and at the same time, a group of dark red soul light was dragged out.
——That is the soul of "Sequlayer" Velinor Bakar!
The soul of a [Supreme] fifth-level extraordinary person is enough to sacrifice to the "devil".
The Soul Manipulator dragged Velino's soul light group to the obsidian cage. At the same time, more and more Soul Manipulators dragged many more from Luo Xiu's mithril ring. The souls of those with third-level and fourth-level destiny are brought to the cage.
That is all the souls that Luo Xiu is ready to sacrifice to the "devil".
When the light groups of those souls were constrained and blended into a whole, the scarlet mist that erupted from the Death Spirit Crystal became the most intense.
The dark purple light makes it easy for Luo Xiu’s pupils to burst out and bloom——
With Luo Xiu as the center, several rings of ritual formations engraved with ancient and strange patterns quickly opened up to the surroundings!
The ring transcended the obsidian cage, and its outline was covered with mottled light and shadow that were sometimes broken and sometimes complete. An invisible and terrifying spiritual surge quickly condensed in the cage. The shuddering breath, the noise became more and more violent!
At this point, Luo Xiu stood still, raised his arms slightly, and prayed:
“—I use the legacy of death and birth as a cup;”
“— —I offer my pure soul as a sacrifice!”
"——I offer my body, my heart, and my spirit."
"——I long for the blasphemous spying!"
"——I long for the profound glance! "
"——I long for the true name of mourning death! "
"..."
The voice of his prayer was clear at first, but then gradually became deeper and blurred, as if several identical prayers were uttered by the same person, and his voice became illusory and overlapping.
After Luo Xiu finished reciting the four sentences of the prayer, an inhuman but understandable voice came to his ears:
"——[Mourning the Dead]"
——Buzz! ! !
At the same time, right in front of Luo Xiu, in the obsidian cage, there was a violent tremor, accompanied by a very strong buzzing!
The spiritual crystal of death was shattered, and the last trace of the source of death was extracted from it; all the souls also dissipated, and their spiritual essence was fully mobilized and wiped clean.
All intangible things and immaterial energy have been mixed together, forming a turbid mass that is constantly changing, rising, falling, and transforming. Finally, it completely opens and closes, turning into a huge A dark, dark cocoon——
The moment that "cocoon" appeared, Luo Xiu suddenly felt a strong throbbing in his heart.
The deep malice came over him like a tide, swallowing him up in an instant.
Things deeper and darker than death emerged, making Luo Xiu feel extremely cold, and his fingertips began to tremble slightly.
But he still prayed, praying over and over again to keep the "calling" process intact.
The light from the ritual circle around him became more and more dazzling, and the deep surge in the dark giant cocoon in front of him was still rising, approaching a certain extreme. .
……
Until the cracks appear.
Gray light shone through the pores of the shell, and the originally turbulent spirituality within it also returned to quiet formlessness the moment the gray light diffused out.
Just in an instant.
The shell of the cocoon faded away like molten mud, and the summoned existence stood inside, with four eyes of different colors looking at everything around it without emotion.
He is the devil, the real devil!
It was a slender body that was completely gray. His face was a perfect oval, with four eyes open like seal carvings. Below it was a slender and thin body with a gray metallic luster like glaze. Closed lips.
The sharp horns symbolizing the devil protrude from his forehead, burning with black and gray flames. And from the bottom of His head - the neck that is twice as long and twice as thin as a human being wears four shackle-like rings, with ancient seals engraved on them that shine with a profound light. Word.
The main body of His body is covered with overlapping gauze curtains, with four arms extending outward from both sides, and two pairs of bloodless palms closed together, one facing up and the other facing down, maintaining some kind of etiquette. The posture of sacrifice.
As for his lower body - it is an increasingly illusory figure. Luo Xiu couldn't see his feet, which were like ghosts, and in Luo Xiu's eyes, he was floating in mid-air.
——[Deathrattle Demon·Mourner]!
That is His name, the name that appears on the panel.
“…I come to mourn.”
He let out a dry, slender lament, with four eyes opened at the same time, and his lips moved:
"It's a human being..."
"A human being I have never seen... But...I am familiar with the smell of you."
"It's just that there is no impending death."
"I am sad and hungry..."
As he murmured this, his four rolling eyes suddenly stopped, he looked straight at Luo Xiu, and uttered a terrifying death language:
"...Are you a corpse, or food?"
——Crash! ! !
After the mourner issued his last question, Luo Xiu saw in a trance that the scene in front of him was somewhat distorted.
His spirit also fell into a weak depression at the same time, but he quickly recovered.
This made Luo Xiu quickly realize -
[Deathrattle Demon·Mourner], he attacked him the first moment he was summoned!
Although Luo Xiu possesses the [Abyss]-related specialty "Corrosive Bloodline", he knows that [Deathrattle Demon·Mourner] will not really regard him as an enemy, but not treating him as an enemy does not mean that he will not Attack him - this is the nature of things born in the "abyss", and malice is their most restrained instinct.
He imposed an instant-death curse on himself with a strength of "depth", but this curse had no effect on Luo Xiu, and it only caused a weak trance in his spirit.
Due to the effect of the "epic" quality specialty "Death Praiser", Luo Xiu is immune to all curses that are deep and death-like or below. But there will still be some lingering effects, but it doesn't hurt.
It is precisely because of the existence of the specialty "Death Praise", as well as powerful curse bonus specialties such as "Wrist of Eclipse Curse", and the blessing of the "legendary" quality staff "Death's Lament".
The category of "demon" that Luo Xiu can best control and can play the most extraordinary role is this type of "death" demon.
In addition, with the Death Spirit Crystal dropped by the "Death God" as a medium, Luo Xiu was basically sure that the demon he summoned would be related to "death", and the result was indeed as he expected. . ...
After suffering a "curse", Luo Xiu still maintained a calm and indifferent attitude, looking into the eyes of the mourner.
The Mourner seemed a little surprised.
The "immediate death" curse he carried out had no effect at all. The "human beings" in front of him seemed to be beyond his expectations.
That is different from those slaves in the "Seven Abyss" who are only worthy of being kept in captivity and serving as food for the devils. The mourners smelled the scent of the same kind, and felt a faint sense of reverence, awe and...fear for this scent.
While his oval face twisted slightly and he was still thinking about something, he heard the "human" in front of him speak lightly:
"You are doing something you shouldn't do. ,'Demon'"
Immediately, Luo Xiu's arm that had not been lowered was slightly raised.
He opened his palms at the same time, and a handful of black flames jumped out of his palms!
And the obsidian cage in front of him burned with dark flames, quickly engulfing the [Deathrattle Demon]!
The flames have spread to His body, His four eyes began to tremble, and His body was also shaking due to some kind of discomfort.
The powerful sense of oppression, which far exceeded the pressure of his own "spiritual" level, directly shocked him and made him speechless.
And the devil's body was burning in the flames specifically aimed at "devils". This was some kind of torture for him.
But for Luo Xiu, this was just some kind of "repayment"——
While the mourner was cursing him, with his specialty "Forbidden Observer", he " "Return" the instant death curse with 200% effect!
The Mourner is immune to the death curse, but the venue for summoning him is the "Obsidian Cage" because the cage has the effect of restraining the corresponding ability——
That is "deepening" and "suppression"!
The 200% instant death curse cannot kill the mourner, but it is enough to make him feel considerable shock and pain, which is enough to achieve Luo Xiu's purpose.
And in the flames of death burning.
Through the flames, intermittent murmurs belonging to the "devil" came:
"——I understand."
"I will restrain... restrain eating. Your desire.”
"..."
He said this, Luo Xiu still stared at him with cold eyes, but he had extinguished the flame in his palm.
It was also quiet inside the cage.
"You will obey me, the demon named 'Mourning'."
"I know what you are longing for, and I know what you are restless about."
"What you are pursuing is this -"
As he spoke, Luo Xiu's fingers rubbed the bracelet at the same time and brought up a dark original book.
——"Sacred Scripture of the Abyss"!
Mobilize spirituality, gather it, and use the holy scriptures to stimulate the deepest and most surging spiritual surge, which instantly envelopes and drowns the devil!
In Luo Xiu’s eyes.
The demon was burned to the point of damage, and its broken body was repairing itself, but at the moment when he was shown the "Sacred Scripture of the Abyss", his four eyes suddenly widened, and a new voice came from his slender mouth:
“…is this.”
“…is this.”
“…what we are familiar with, what we have lost.”
"..."
As the mourner said this, Luo Xiu already knew what he wanted to know.
About [Abyss]——
About the loose and broken seal, as well as the abyss things that are constantly rising up from the ground, the source of all these is indeed "Abyss Saint" Code!
He thought quickly in his mind, connected them all, and then temporarily forgot about them.
He showed the "Sacred Scripture of the Abyss" to the "Mourners" for other purposes.
That is to rely on the personality of the "Sacred Code of the Abyss" to make up for the vacancy of the fourth level of destiny at the level of the [Abyss]. Only in this way can the "upper demon" in front of him be truly subdued!
"Your roots are in my hands."
Looking directly at the devil, Luo Xiu said slowly:
"Follow me, make a contract with me - you don't A choice. ”
“Think about what I will share with you that those ‘tyrants’ will never have. ”
"..."
"Okay."
"The Mourner" nodded slightly, and his slender neck seemed to be creaking, making a soft sound.
"I will make a pact with you...blasphemer."
"Simply offer me...a new death."
As he spoke, he spread his four slender palms together, stretched out one of them, and stretched out his fingers towards Luo Xiu.
Luo Xiu also stretched out his hand and touched His finger——
At the moment of contact, the dark spiritual strands entangled and bit like a snake, and penetrated at the same time The bodies of both.
That is a symbol of establishing a "contract" with the devil.
In Luo Xiu’s panel, brand-new content immediately popped up——
