Ring of Fate

Chapter 695 "Death before Rebirth"

Appeared again? Lumien signaled Lugano and the others to let go, and asked Amandine:

"where is he?"

Amandine's blue eyes stared at the entrance of the black tomb, at the end of the river of death, and said:

"He just sat there with his legs crossed."

As she spoke, Amandine closed her eyes and looked away. Her originally smooth and delicate skin was covered with tiny bumps, and each bump looked like it was about to crack and grow something.

This was because she saw the illusory and silent river, and the pale goat wearing a golden mask walking with difficulty in the shallow water.

The pale goat's limbs had lost all their fur and were highly rotten, oozing fishy yellow pus, which was rapidly spreading throughout its body.

Affected by the "Melody of Hate", Reysa's already pale and cold face, which was struggling internally, suddenly lost the last trace of blood color.

On the back of his hands, his neck, and his cheeks, pieces of skin slowly festered, turning him into a corpse that had been dead for some time.

The decaying trend on the pale goat slowed down.

But the river of death it created with the help of the black ancient tomb became increasingly illusory, visibly narrowing, and drying up.

The rag doll in the evil Gothic dress floated forward a little further, following the retreating river of death.

Suddenly, it turned its body and looked at the green-eyed man made of human skin and blood.

The green-eyed man happened to be looking at it.

The hatred, hostility and madness in the evil rag doll's scarlet eyes exploded, and the black Gothic long skirt wrapped with gloomy vines burst into holes one after another. A large number of scraps of cloth either flew around or hung down, and the whole skirt became tattered.

The green-eyed man in dark grey formalwear seemed to be unharmed, but when he took a step forward, he left behind two footprints filled with bright red blood, and the smell of sulfur quickly dissipated.

One step, two steps, three steps. With every step he took, he left a bright red footprint, and drop after drop of darkening liquid dripped from his skin.

Ivelista Eggers finally recovered from the explosion of emotions and desires brought about by "The Melody of Hate". He took a look at the evil rag doll that was already quite tattered, and took out another item from the secret pocket of his clothes.

It was a puppet the size of a palm.

This puppet seemed to be made up of children of several years old. Its arms were one above the other, its legs were on its buttocks, and its face was painted with red, yellow, and white oil paint. At first glance, it looked like a clown in a circus.

Ivelista infused his own spirituality into this ugly and deformed puppet.

The puppet suddenly became illusory and disappeared into Ivelista's hand.

Then, it first appeared in the dark brown eyes of the descendant of the Eggers family, and then jumped into the green eyes of the human-skinned man.

The movements of the human-skinned man in dark gray suit suddenly became stiff and slow.

Lumian didn't dare to look at the situation over there any longer and quickly looked away.

After Amandine closed her eyes and looked away, the tiny bumps on her body disappeared and were no longer noticeable.

She looked curiously at the monster that was running in the direction of the green-eyed man, who seemed to be frightened to the point of collapse. The monster, who looked like a demon, quickly examined the situation around him.

She then saw the huge demon body in front of her, the incomplete corpses lying on the ground, and the blackened bone flute fallen under a palm tree.

"There, there's something." She pulled Lumian's sleeve and whispered.

Could it be a powerful item dropped from the gravekeeper?

Lumian took a look and smiled to Amandine and the others:
"Pretend you didn't see it, don't pick it up, and don't even get close to it."

He left the "Hateful Movement" there on purpose and did not pick it up right away.

In this situation, if he plays "Song of Pain" again, the possibility of hurting his companions is much higher than hitting the enemy's weakness. As a "reaper", there is no need for him to poke the target with "Song of Pain" anymore.

So, he pretended that he had no time to pick up the "Song of Hate" to see if any enemy would use it against him.

If something like this really happened, no one present would be able to withstand the bloody fate that comes with the "Song of Hate" except Lumian himself and the three divine objects. At that time, Lumian would take Amandine and others and "teleport" away directly. When they come back after a while, they should be able to see the enemy's corpse and obtain new trophies.

This is a trap that was set casually.

As the huge demon that Dewaho transformed into fled to the vicinity of the man in human skin and approached the receding Dead River, a short figure walked out from the road in the jungle.

The figure was a little boy of about seven or eight years old, wearing cute pajamas and a cute nightcap. His yellow hair and face were dirty, covered with oil, residue and blood.

As soon as he saw the little boy, Lugano felt severe pain in the missing half of his right hand.

"Dedede." He was so scared that his teeth kept chattering.

Camus and others who noticed his abnormal reaction asked in astonishment:
"what happened?"

Following Lugano's gaze, Amandine, Camus and Ria saw the little boy.

The former turned his head in astonishment and looked at Lumian and said:
“Isn’t that your godson?
"Why did he get here? It's dangerous!"

"No, he's not dangerous." Camus recalled Colombo's exaggerated reaction when he met Louis Berry and his godson, and some of the words said by his companion on the "fate" path. He said with a serious expression, "We are the ones who are in danger."

Without waiting for Amandine and Ria to ask questions, Camus looked at Lumian, frowned slightly and said:
"What should we do now?"

As the godfather, you should have a way to control your godson, right?

Lumian glanced at Ludwig, who was walking quickly towards the demon, then looked at the corpses scattered all over the ground and the demonic body of "Siso", and replied with a smile:

"It's not a big problem."

There is enough food here to form an effective seal!

As for why Ludwig walked all the way to the Black Tomb area, Lumian probably also thought of the reason:
The man and woman who just arrived in Tizamo Town tonight and stayed in the Briu Hotel should be the minions of the devil of the North family. They didn't know how they stayed awake in this special dream. When the "Dream Festival" began, they left the Briu Hotel and headed towards the black tomb.

During this process, the man and woman passed by the second floor, which made Ludwig smell the scent of delicious food. So he gave up the vulgar food and followed them, catching up here at a speed suitable for a boy of seven or eight years old.

At this moment, there was only the devil that was Dewaho in Ludwig's brown eyes.

"Why is it not a big problem?" Amandine said with an expression that said, "I don't have much knowledge of mysticism, so don't lie to me."

Lumian smiled and pointed at the huge demon that was fleeing in panic near the green-eyed man and said:
"He's here to hunt down that monster."

"Chase? Him?" Amandine looked left and right in confusion.

A little boy of only seven or eight years old, wearing blue pajamas with yellow stars, is chasing a dark demon that is nearly three meters tall, has curved goat horns, and bat-like wings on its back?
This is indeed a dream, right?
After getting closer to the green-eyed man made of human skin and blood, and closer to the black ancient tomb, Devaho felt a little relieved. However, his mind was still filled with the images of his tongue being roasted, his brain being dug out with a spoon, and his arms and thighs being bitten by the little boy.

What kind of monster is this? Dewaho was extremely frightened to see that the little boy was still walking towards him quickly.

At this moment, Amandine glanced in this direction and shouted:
"The figure is looking at the man in the black robe."

Ivelista? Lumian looked over and found nothing unusual about Ivelista Eggers.

Amandine looked away, paused, then looked over again.

She explained quickly:
"He's not looking at the man in the black robe, he's looking at the devil!"

Amandine suddenly stopped, looked away, and frowned:
"That figure seemed to be saying something... I couldn't understand it, but I could understand the meaning."

"What did he say?" Lumian demanded.

Amandine didn't dare to look in the direction of the black tomb again. She organized her words and said while recalling:
"It probably means:

“Everyone in the world knows that crawling insects can form pupae, and when the pupae break, butterflies will fly out.

"How can an ordinary insect transform into a fluttering butterfly and change its life form? Why?"

Amandine's voice changed imperceptibly, as if it were under some influence.

She paused for a moment, then spoke the answer to the question in a low and cold voice:
"First die, then be reborn, and become a god after being transformed into a fairy..."

Before Amandine finished her words, Devarho, who was in his demonic state, stiffened.

He saw that his flesh and blood was rotting rapidly and falling off in large chunks, revealing his white bones.

In just a few seconds, the demon lost consciousness and disintegrated into a pile of rotten flesh and bones.

The rotten flesh and bones blended together as if with their own life force, entwining to form a human-sized pupa.

The cocoon of flesh and blood soon burst open, and a monster with a human head and a bird body covered with white feathers flew out.

The monster absorbed all the blood and flesh and shredded pupa, and instantly became much larger, with its appearance changing to a certain extent.

The area below its human head rapidly stretched and enlarged, as if it had a body of its own, while the flesh and blood at the "waist" grew together with the bird's body, all covered with white feathers with a light yellow smudge.

"Hahaha!" Devaho, whose eyes, nostrils, face and fingertips had countless white feathers growing out, laughed out loud.

He patted the white-feathered bird below and flew up, as if riding on it, rushing into the sky.

Dewaho flew higher and higher, gradually becoming ethereal, then he circled down and plunged into the black ancient tomb.

Lumian, who witnessed this scene, looked towards the entrance of the black tomb again, but still could not see the invisible figure mentioned by Amandine.

He had an idea and took two steps forward and found the strange golden mask from "Hiso's" body.
