Chapter 319 319 The Celestial Emperor.
*I would explain everything in detail, but there is more urgent than my appearance; we must never break the seal of the creature that's sealed here. Otherwise, we'll be condemned!*
*...* Alvine remained silent after hearing Nicco's words.
*If possible, we must take a turn and ask Lady Rina for more details about the identity of this place.*
*... Sigh, I trust her judgment. But what I would like to know above all is how you knew about this creature and the fact that it is sealed here.*
*It's thanks to the bitch who attacked me when the stele buried you. We were forced to merge together to face her.*
*M-Merging? Sigh, I'm now beginning to understand why you are so powerful and why I feel your three souls in one body. Even if I had never believed such a thing would be possible, it is still an impressive discovery. I wonder how strong you have become now.*
Despite his surprise, Alvine immediately turned away his curiosity the next moment, knowing it was not the right time to discuss this subject.
*Fufu~, let's say we can now fight you in all areas!*
*Hm? In all fields?*
*Yes, absolutely everything, including on the bed!*
*... I understand, yes, I now understand why I had this discomfort when I exchanged with you instead. It seems that you are Nicco. Even if this isn't quite the case, you must surely be more influenced by her twisted mind than by those of others. But it's not to displease me; we'll check it later and see if you're right.*
*... Sigh, and say that Serena was digging her head to guess my identity. Finally, it doesn't matter too much. Now that--
*Wait, when you said you were beaten against a bitch, are you talking about this crazy woman?!*
*Hm? Yes, I'm talking about her. Is there a problem? *
Hearing Nicco's words, Alvine frowns.
*And how could you come here? Did she let you go?*
*No, I sealed her with my icy frost flames after making her angry; I'm sure she will try to kill me at all costs if she frees herself from my seals.*
*...*
*Don't worry; no matter her power, it will take her at least a week or two to break my seal.*
*... Sigh, I think you underestimate primordial beings too much.* Alvine whispered in a fly voice.
*Hm?*
*It's nothing; let's forget her case. Tell me more about this place instead.*
Following this order on his part, Nicco began her explanation from beginning to end.
Meanwhile, Myulan and the other three generals were no longer paying attention to them; they focused on restoring their powers and stamina.
Since the mysterious woman did not take care of their cases when they were weak, they concluded that she was not an existence that threatened the lives of their lord, at least for now.
After leaving the small white room of five square meters, Alvine and the others were now in a large hall that looked like a hall of an underground royal palace, like that of the vampires on the Garyth plantation.
But instead of being furnished by royal buildings and decorations, the hall was empty, except for the sarcophagus in front of them ten meters away and which exuded a threatening presence chilling the bones of those who looked at it and made them shiver with discomfort.
After completing her explanation, Nicco did not disturb her interlocutor, who was silent to digest the information she had just provided her.
*So, you tell me that this madwoman created this planet only to seal a creature more monstrous than a mana beast? And according to her, the flute that is our target probably belongs to the former guardian of this creature.* Alvine made this recapitulation to make sure he understood Nicco's explanations.
*Probably, yeah.*
Hearing her affirmations and seeing her nod, Alvine continues his questions.
*But there are always shade areas in your story. First, we still do not know the identity of this so-called guardian and why the creature is still sealed. And finally, we still don't know where and what Sabrina wants us to find for my lord. With these two missing pieces of information, we must continue our research after reaching this place.* He said, looking at the sarcophagus in the middle of the hall.
Nicco also agrees. But the next moment, her eyes froze on the coffin with a doubtful expression.
"Is there a problem?" Alvine asked, noting her expression.
"Umm, I don't know, it may be an illusion or an impression, but I think I've seen this thing move!" She whispers while pointing to the sarcophagus.
"This thing? I don't think so, no. I didn't stop glancing at it as soon as we set foot there. But I didn't notice anything else except the aura of death that surrounded it. Finally, we'll check everything once the others have recovered." While shaking his head, Alvine looked at Fyora, who came to open her eyes.
But seeing that the others always had their eyes closed and sitting on the floor with their legs crossed, he felt a little impatient towards them. But he did not interrupt them.
...
After an additional thirty minutes, everyone had filled up with energy and gathered behind Alvine, waiting for the latter's orders.
"Well, let's see what's in this sarcophagus." Alvine's rock tone resounded in the hall as he approached the tomb.
"Master, are you sure of your decision? This place is--
"We have already talked about this. In short, get ready for the worst. You know like me that this sarcophagus exudes a strange aura, and that prevents the curse, which makes me the ideal candidate to open it." He stopped Nicco before she finished her sentence and made her a reminder.
Following their silences, he moved away from the group while gradually approaching the sarcophagus.
And when he was five meters from the latter, he stopped suddenly following the strange reaction that had just occurred around the sarcophagus.
Verdish glows began to appear and illuminate the dark hall, followed by the slight undulating vibrations of the sarcophagus.
-Boom!
And the moment after, Alvine's eyes and those of others widened with disbelief when they noticed the cover of the sarcophagus exploding into rock grains!
"Those who have dared to pollute the home of this heavenly emperor and disturb his rest will be condemned to live a life of eternal slavery! Those who have dared to pollute the home of this heavenly emperor and disturb his rest will be condemned to live a life of eternal slavery! Those who dared to pollute the home of this heavenly...
At the same time, Alvine and the others heard these words constantly whispering from inside the now-open sarcophagus.
But the next moment, a black mist that suddenly appeared from nowhere merged with the aura of the curse that rose from the coffin and booed to Alvine's small group as if the mist itself were alive!
[Pearls of eternal light!]
Alvine urgently spoke these words, and heard his hand in front of him before instantly creating ten white pearls ethereal between him and the dark mist.
Almost instantly, the ten pearls merged, and their individual powers multiplied by ten to counter the dark mist.
But from the moment the small translucent sphere came into contact with the mist, a blinding light emanated from the small sphere that was barely the size of an adult fist and illuminated the entire dark hall of its purifying light.
This sudden action on the part of the ethereal sphere drastically reduced half of the evil aura in the room. But on Alvine's side, he wasn't convinced of the power of his sphere.
'For some reason, I don't think this spell is powerful enough to purify this evil aura. But on the other hand, my flames are becoming more and more uncontrollable since the appearance of this dark mist. Do they have any connection with them?' While murmuring these words, he tried to create other pearls to strengthen his sphere, which began to show its limits.
But at that moment, Nicco stopped him by grabbing his hand.
"Don't get tired of that, master. This evil aura is not an ordinary spell of curses; I feel the concept of the curse emanating from this mist; even if it is weak, I can always feel this dangerous concept in it!" Nicco whispered these words so that Alvine alone could hear them.
'The concept of the curse? Is it the same concept that almost killed Linn? If this is the case, then only my Gehenna flames can eradicate such a curse. But I have the impression that there is more than that.' He said to Himself, stopping his actions with undecided eyes.
"Let me take care of them." While saying these words, Nicco snapped her fingers and created a magic barrier around Alvine and the others and advanced in the mist with a luminous aura around her.
After only one meter, her silhouette disappeared in the sight of Alvine and the others. But none of them had lost their cold blood since they could always follow Nicco with their perceptions.
But at the same time, they noticed Nicco's primordial aura emerging again as dozens of golden droplets appeared around her.
|Concept prima: domain of death.|
When Alvine heard her buzz these words, he noticed the drops of blood around her turning anchored black.
At the same time, the droplets turned into black blood pools and sneaked toward the sarcophagus without being affected by the dark mist.
Feeling the danger, the sarcophagus, who seemed to be alive, ordered the black mist that boo towards it and created a bright dark barrier to prevent the black-blood-pool from reaching it.
But when the blood pool touched the shield, the latter did not resist any.
It gradually became white as the dark blood pool absorbed all the curses it contained.
-Craaack!!
In barely three more seconds, the shield broke into pieces after turning into ethereal white without the slightest evil energy. But unlike the evil shield, the black blood became even darker after absorbing the curse of the shield.
But instead of weakening, the blood pool became even more powerful, and its speed of spread increased tenfold as it approached the sarcophagus.
-BOOM!
Instantly, when it was about to touch the latter, the sarcophagus sounded another explosion that was none other than the deafening explosion of the sarcophagus itself!
"Kekek! Kekeke...
Simultaneously, Alvine and the others, including Nicco, frowned when they heard this metallic and unpleasant laugh from a black cocoon that had just appeared in the sarcophagus.
The cocoon, or rather the conical shield, which released a dark golden aura floated above the group, suddenly broke and revealed the aberration it was hiding!
"?! What is this thing?!" Fyora whispered unconsciously, feeling her body cool down by the energy of the evil nature that pressed her body.
"Succomber under my soul collector's scythe, poor unimportant creatures, and allow this heavenly emperor to complete his resurrection!"
-To be continued...
