Chapter 587 Nephalem
Nohir raised the sword in his hand in front of him. Zariel’s consciousness was stored in this sword. In just that moment, Nohir had already interacted with Zariel. Riel's consciousnesses completed the communication with each other, and it was through Nohir's memory that Zariel's remaining thoughts finally understood the current situation in the outside world.
Before this, she had been wondering why her body had not been resurrected here even though hundreds of years had passed. Only now, combined with Nohir's memory, did she finally understand what all this was about. Why.
Nohir firmly grasped the hilt of the sword in his hand. Although his thoughts were broken, he could still feel Zariel's sadness, pain and regret at this time. When she shared in Nohir In those memories, after seeing the corrupted and twisted appearance of her own body, these emotions continued to flow out of the sword, because she simply could not imagine what she had done during the hundreds of years of degradation.
But now is not the time to feel sad. Instead of regretting your failure, it is better to seize the time and come up with some way to make up for it. When Nohir instilled these thoughts into the sword, Zariel's remaining consciousness was quickly infected by the thoughts contained in it, breaking away from the sad and half-dead posture, and gave Nohir the possible method to save his body.
According to Zariel's remaining thoughts, there are currently only two possible ways to save her body. One is to consume the power of her body through fighting, and at the same time, try to use words to recall her past memories in the process. , even though Zariel has been repaired beyond recognition by Asmodeus, her soul base is still that of an angel, and she is still one of the original 24 angels with the highest status.
This essence cannot be changed even by Asmodeus. Zariel's remaining consciousness believes that there must be some conscience and justice left in that fallen body. As long as it passes through The battle consumes the evil power in her body, reawakens the oath she once swore to protect light and justice, and finally delivers the sword to Zariel's hands.
At that time, as long as she can recall even a trace of her past memories, she will definitely absorb the angel soul inside, replace it with it, expel the evil essence from her body, and return to Heaven Mountain. If If everything goes well, this method can also be said to be the most happy and perfect ending.
But Nohill understands that if he really chooses to use this method to save Zarrell, then in the process of implementing this plan, he can almost definitely, definitely, and definitely announce that this plan will be implemented. Getting up is bound to not be smooth sailing.
Because Zariel's body has been corrupted for too long. After hundreds of years, even if she still has the last touch of conscience and justice in her heart, it has probably been destroyed by Asmodeus. The hellish nature given has been suppressed to an unknown corner, and it will take an unknown amount of effort to awaken it again, but success is not necessarily guaranteed.
At least Nohill believed that he did not have this ability. He could pull her heartstrings and remind her of everything in the past with just a few words. Although he could leave the job of persuading surrender to Lulu, he had no eyesight on the battlefield. It is impossible to determine what will happen when a fight actually breaks out, and whether Lulu can really persuade him to surrender.
In the end, although this method sounds good, it actually gives the initiative to the fallen Zariel. Whether he continues to fall or returns to heaven, the choice is all his. It was up to her to decide whether it would succeed or not. Nohir had no ability to control it, and this was something he could not accept.
So of course, the second method Nohir chose was to kill Zarrell directly. Then use the ability of Zariel's sword itself to revive it.
Because of the unique power of Zariel's Sword, when attacking Zariel with this sword, the light energy attached to the sword itself can continuously weaken the hell essence in her body that does not belong to her, as long as the number of attacks is Enough, and those hellish essences that forcibly fill their souls will eventually be completely eliminated.
When her hell essence was almost eliminated by the Sword of Zariel, Nohir could directly kill the fallen Zariel with the Sword of Zariel in his hand, and then violently kill her The angel soul in this sword is instilled into Zariel's body, allowing his good side to regain the upper hand. After that, Zariel, who has returned to the ranks of angels, can naturally be resurrected directly on the spot!
Well, although this method seems a bit rough, after all, Nohir is not sure how many attacks he can make to completely eliminate the hell essence in her body. If the number of attacks during this period is less, the hell essence in her body will not be completely eliminated. Kill her and use the Sword of Zariel to revive her.
Even if he succeeds in the future, Zariel will have to spend a lot of time eliminating the hidden dangers in his body in the future. If there is too much hell essence remaining, Zariel's remaining angel soul will be more It is possible that she cannot be defeated and the evil power in her body can be expelled, resulting in her never being able to return to the ranks of angels.
But Nohill still chose this method because he was confident enough. He was confident that even if he could not observe the amount of hell essence in his body during the battle, he would still have enough strength to slowly accompany him. She continued to consume it, bit by bit, consuming her hellish essence to the minimum.
Even if he just scratched her skin little by little with the tip of the sword, wiping away the hell origin in her body bit by bit, even if he was so lethargic, Zariel would not be able to defeat him in the process.
The battle with the King of Jackals has made him thoroughly understand how exaggerated his power is. As long as Zariel dares to confront him head-on, the final winner will definitely be him, No. Hill had enough spare time to play with Zariel slowly.
This confidence is absolute. Not only Nohir himself, but also the Sword of Zariel in his hand can feel his absolute confidence. The blue light emitted by the sword itself begins to shrink. It flickers, and this represents the pulse of joy, which means that the angel's soul believes in Nohir's arrogant thoughts.
During the previous moment of mental conversation, the angel soul in the sword not only observed Nohir easily repelling the fallen Zariel, but also saw him easily beheading the wolf man. King's head, this outrageous fighting ability is even more exaggerated than in her heyday.
Angel Soul even felt that if they really wanted to fight against an enemy like Nohir, with the combat effectiveness they had shown, they would have to dispatch at least six original angels who were exactly like him before they could possibly make a huge sacrifice. Defeat it after paying a price, and only by dispatching 12 original angels can it be defeated relatively safely.
You know, those are 12 demigods who have existed since the beginning of the world. His combat power must be measured against opponents of this level. Nohir's own strength is too much. It's scary, but no matter what, this monster who is so powerful that it's almost unbelievable is on their side.
Nohir was willing to do so much to save Zariel, even if the angel soul in the sword had incomplete consciousness, she was deeply moved by this, and remembered that Nohir had done everything for her and Lulu. After doing all this, plus the fact that he immediately restrained Yael's body before, holding the hilt of the sword and pulling it out, the angel's soul realized that his blood was connected to his own body.
Although she knew that Nohir could not be her biological child, but was a blood descendant who spread power in the mortal world in some evil way and was soaked with the power of hell, but he had the same bloodline as Zariel himself. There is absolutely no way this can be faked.
And it was precisely because of all of this that the angel soul in the sword had a great affection for Nohir, and she instinctively wanted to repay Nohir for his efforts.
And Nohir also heard the thoughts of Angel Soul. He did not stop her idea because he was a little curious about what Angel Soul would do in return for him, but almost as soon as his curiosity The moment it rose, a bit of inexplicable blue energy flowed directly into Nohir's arm holding the Sword of Zariel and merged into his body. The first time this energy entered his body, , Nohir knew what that thing was.
"That's...a soul! You gave up part of your soul to me?!" Zariel's sword continued to flash for a few times, confirming Nohir's doubts. She had indeed given herself A part of the soul energy was cut off and given to Nohir, because he had seen it in Nohir's memory, and he had become interested in the homologous evolution promised by her fallen body, and this point she divided Soul energy can help Nohir complete his promotion in this area.
This pure angelic origin can stimulate the sacred genes hidden in Nohir's body. If Nohir can take some time to digest this power, he can even use this gift to change his own race and transform himself from the evil descendant of hell. Converted to celestial bloodline, from tiefling to aasimar.
Nohir felt the preciousness of this gift. He asked the angel soul whether dividing his soul in this way would harm it. But Angel Soul said that for angels like them, every death and rebirth will lose a part of the soul, but as long as these lost and incomplete souls have the nourishment of the body, the soul will also be replenished as time goes by. Complete.
This means that as long as Nohir can help Zariel regain his life, the part of the soul power she gave to Nohir will not be worth mentioning at all. Anyway, it will naturally happen after some time. Complete recovery.
She told Nohir not to worry at all. Anyway, her current soul is not complete. Instead of worrying about this or that now, it is better to digest the power she gave her as soon as possible to help her get back her own. Body.
High-level angels almost never lie, so this answer really made Nohir relieved. He paid his most sincere respect and thanks to the angel soul, and then said as she said Generally, start to immerse yourself in this new gift.
However, unlike the simple thoughts of the Angel Soul, although it was a good choice to follow the Angel Soul's idea and transform oneself into an Aasimo, when this part of the soul entered his body, Nohir felt that To deeper changes and broader potential.
He felt keenly that he seemed to be able to bring the power of heaven and hell together without having to give up anything. His panel showed a broader way forward, and Nohill Seized the opportunity.
At the cost of a mythical inspiration point, he gathered his own hell blood, the churning chaotic magic power in his body, the newly added angel soul, and his own powerful body and will, in this underground light barrier. Here, Nohill began a new round of evolution.
He first inserted the Sword of Zariel into the stone platform nearby, and then walked to a wide and uninhabited place to avoid the energy burst during evolution and prevent these forces from harming Lulu and the others. .
And just after he was ready, the flames from hell and the holy light from heaven came. In an instant, they shined together and intertwined on Nohir's body.
Generally speaking, these two completely conflicting forces will collide with each other once they meet, resulting in the complete annihilation of both energies. However, due to Nohir - no, it should be due to the uniqueness of Zariel itself, as a high-level angel A fallen evil demon, she was able to combine these two completely different powers for her own use as soon as she was born. As a descendant of her blood, Nohir finally fully inherited this talent after gaining divinity.
With the help of divinity and talent, Nohir finally allowed these two energies to explode, but they did not slide further in a worse direction.
Immediately afterwards, under the instructions of the panel, Nohir filled himself with the chaotic magic power of the true spirit's violent rage, and took the initiative to use it to dissolve and reconcile the two powers. Finally, after the reconciliation of the chaotic magic power, Next, these three unique forces finally transformed into a unique gray-white energy.
Nohir can feel that this unique power is wrapped in several different qualities. It flows with the transcendent power of divinity, the good power of heaven, and the evil power of hell. The power of chaos and disorder, and the power of order that is common to both heaven and hell.
This unique energy seems to gradually grow in the supply of the above five energy sources, slowly becoming more and more, and finally completely wrapping Nohir, and in the package of this unique energy , Nohir's body also underwent tremendous changes where no one could see it.
First, his already very tall body grew taller again, becoming more muscular, and his face became more mature and handsome. Although he still looked young, he no longer felt young, like a bush. The cloud-like majestic horned crown adds nine points of power to it, the short gray-white hair is still sharp, and the hazy yellow pupils that were originally like a devil have now turned into pale spots emitting bright gray light.
In addition to the changes in appearance and figure, Nohill's wings have changed even more dramatically. In a very short period of time, his wings have become wider, and the originally tough wing membranes It is constantly growing gray-white tough feathers.
These feathers grew out of it rapidly, shining with gleaming white light. During the growth process, when they were intertwined with each other, they even made a crisp sound like sharp knives touching each other.
His tail has also changed, becoming more slender and stronger. Some gray-white diamond-shaped scales with a texture like gems have grown on his tail like a perfect fit. You can notice its performance just from the appearance. It has unparalleled defensive properties, and each tail bone is covered with bony protrusions with the same jade texture. If it is slapped, the taste will be absolutely sour.
The tip of his tail, which was originally like a spear tip, is even more exaggerated. No matter how you look at it now, you will feel that its tail is just a sharpened and beautifully shaped spear, although I don’t know how many there are. It is powerful, but its appearance can make people feel very extraordinary.
When the gray cocoon of light dissipated, Nohir quietly felt this new appearance, feeling the new power born from the combination of the powers of heaven and hell.
Now he is no longer a Tiefling, nor an Aasimar. Now he is a new race that has never appeared in the history of Faerûn. As the first person of this race , Nohill is qualified to name his current form.
With this combination and this gesture, there was no need to think too much. A name instantly appeared in Nohir's mind, a title that perfectly suited his current race and status.
“The Nephalem.”
