Ring of Fate

Chapter 872 The Last Lesson (Additional chapter for the 37th Great Demon King of the Golden Alliance)
Trier, Botanical Garden.

When Higdon of the "Society of the Final Destruction of All Things" saw the two "witches" disappear, he immediately raised his right hand and scratched the dark brown age spots on the surface of his face.

The plaque festered instantly, and maggots similar to those that roam inside rotting corpses crawled out, and green and yellow pus flowed out.

As soon as the disgusting pus came into contact with the air, it evaporated immediately and spread without a trace.

Janna had just circled to the side of Higdon, waiting for Franca to launch an attack and assist from the side, when she suddenly felt lazy and didn't want to do anything, as if she had something called "laziness".

It is as if the corresponding desires are withering and showing signs of decline, and as if certain tissues in the brain are beginning to become diseased.

Janna followed her own spiritual intuition and used the "mirror double" without hesitation, without waiting for the problem to become serious enough to be passively triggered.

Two crackling sounds were heard at the same time, and Franka, who was "invisible" and close to Higdon to release the "Black Tears" plague, also responded in the same way.

The figures of the two people were first outlined, and then quickly turned into a mirror.

During this process, when Franka and Janna's "mirror doubles" had not yet been completely transformed, it could be seen that their internal organs had grown obvious lumps that were absorbing nutrients on their own, and the multiple blood vessels around the heart and in the brain were quickly becoming fragile.

If the "witches" use pathogens to control diseases, then Higdon's path seems to be the pathogen itself, the symbol of the disease.

If Franka and Janna did not actively activate the "mirror substitute", it would not be easy to rely on the substitute to deal with the disease when the various tissues of the body were actually diseased. A ceremony must be held and pray to the "Original Witch" or the corresponding angel to transfer the disease to the preset mirror, or one person must stalk the target while the other stays away from the area, allowing Lugano to use surgery in conjunction with the "doctor's" ability to treat it.

On the other side, before the disease spread, Vossen Sanson, with his blond hair tinged with a little white, had already found a few fragments that he could manipulate from the mercury river of fate that represented Ludwig.

As long as he doesn't touch the most critical part of the angel's fate, he doesn't have to worry about being backlashed and losing control on the spot.

Likewise, he, who already possessed divinity, could have observed most of Ludwig's fate if he had not peered into fragments of fate that contained dangerous scenes and knowledge.

When Ludwig ran halfway, opened his mouth, and stretched out his palm, wanting to deprive the target of the "Man in the Ring" ability, Vasant Samson, who had already raised his arm, pressed lightly and magnified a branch of destiny in the air.

thump!
The little boy Ludwig tripped over a protruding stone on the ground and fell flat on his face.

While manipulating fate, Vasan Sanson also set his sights on the blazing white spear with blue flames that Lumian had transformed into.

His eyes lit up, and two dark green rays condensed in an instant.

This is an ability that Vasant Sanson had recently contracted.

——The biggest problem for "the person who is bound by the contract" in the fateful path is that the strength limit of the contract ability cannot exceed the contracted creature itself. In other words, the ability contracted in the early stage is difficult to grow again, unless the creature contracted in the beginning is a demigod-level creature. However, due to the limitation of its own spirit and flesh, it is impossible to bring the contract ability to the extreme. It is possible that the contract ability is enhanced with each upgrade of a sequence.

Below Sequence 4, without the qualitative change factor of divinity, even Sequence 7 or even Sequence 8 level contract abilities can participate in Sequence 5 level battles and play an important role. However, once reaching Sequence 4, when facing opponents of the same level, most of them are difficult to use, and it is necessary to find a suitable contract creature again.

As soon as the dark green ray burst out, it landed on the bright white and blue flaming spear, leaving Lumian no room to dodge.

However, there was no trace of Lumian in the flaming spear.

After the blazing spear quickly decayed and withered, there was nothing inside but flames.

When the figures of the two "witches" were re-outlined in the ruins of the wooden house, Lumian's body holding the "Sword of Courage" also appeared behind Vossan Samson.

"Teleport"!
After regaining his complete body after his "abscessed hand", Lumian's ability to "travel through the spirit world" has also been significantly enhanced!
At this moment, a translucent figure crawled out from behind Vasant Samson.

The figure was very similar to Voisin Samson, but more indifferent and cold.

This is also the ability that Vassan Sanson contracted after becoming the "Man in the Ring", and it belongs to the realm of death.

He had been on guard against Lumian using "teleportation" to attack his back!

Although this will most likely trigger the "Man in the Ring" effect, we still have to take precautions, and this can also be used as a trap.

Faced with the cold and indifferent shadow of Vasant Samson, Lumian's thoughts began to settle, his body slowly grew colder, and the blazing white and blue flames on the "Sword of Courage" in his hand gradually dimmed.

…………

On the pristine island where the "Black Emperor" mausoleum is located, within the thick white fog.

Perle's face, which was sometimes distorted and sometimes expanded, cast his gaze on three of the light spots.

What follows will be the most important and critical part of the Vortex Plan.

As the "Supervisor" Perle looked at him, two of the three spots of light suddenly grew larger.

A villa that was filled with white mist, with blood-red figures, but was also shrouded in holy light;
The other one was hazy, as if a figure was suspended in mid-air, wrapped in yellow bandages and completely pierced by countless brown branches. There were also a large number of thorns and thorny roses between the bandages and branches. Although they were entangled with each other, they kept withering and falling.

At this time, the belly of the suspended figure was sometimes bulging and sometimes deflated, as if new life was churning inside.

Next to this figure, there was a huge tree covered with black asphalt. The tree stretched out strange and terrifying arms to act as branches, and bloodshot black and white eyeballs were rolling around on its surface.

There was also a spot of light that had grown larger, and inside it was a scene of Topsey, a member of the "School of Deliciousness", gnawing on an invisible seal above the sea.

…………

Inside the gloomy mausoleum of the "Black Emperor".

After hearing her father's question, Bernadette was silent for two seconds and said:

"I will try to stop this."

Russell looked at his eldest daughter and smiled with admiration:
"Everyone makes mistakes. When I was young, no, until I was trapped here and didn't dare to resurrect, I made mistakes all the time. I did a lot of wrong things, some of which were even bad. When I moved into this mausoleum and occasionally gained some peace and clarity, I was finally able to seriously examine my past life. Then I realized that the choices I made really brought a lot of unnecessary harm. Of course, I also did a lot of things right, and many of them were good things."

Seeing Bernadette's expression become gloomy and a little stubborn, Roselle raised his right palm with a little doting and pressed down:

"Don't blame yourself too much. I am actually very happy and relieved about your choice and the things you did. Seeing my little princess willing to violate her long-standing principle of 'do whatever you want, but don't hurt' in order to save her old father, and willing to take the risk of falling into the abyss, I am happy and relieved from the bottom of my heart. This shows that my love for you is not in vain, and it shows that my family life is not such a failure!"

On the huge iron-black chair, the increasingly clear figure stood up.

He walked down the platform, came in front of Bernadette, and opened his arms.

Bernadette seemed to have returned to her childhood, and instinctively threw herself into her father's arms, feeling the familiar but no longer warm generosity.

After a brief hug, Roselle stroked Bernadette's long chestnut hair, then walked past her and towards the door of the Black Mausoleum, his figure growing larger and larger.

"Dad?" Bernadette turned around and blurted out.

Russell turned his head and said with a smile:

"The vortex ritual has already begun. Given the special nature of the 'Uncertain Mist' path, it will be difficult for you to stop the subsequent transactions from moving forward. Even if you want to kill that woman, it should be difficult to do so.

"But it's okay, Daddy will take care of it."

Bernadette suddenly understood what her father wanted to do. She took a big step forward and tried to catch up, but found that the distance between them could not be shortened.

At the same time, she cried out eagerly:
"Dad, the pollution in you has not yet been balanced. Once the vortex ritual is destroyed, you won't be able to return to your previous state!"

Roselle stopped at the entrance of the Black Emperor's mausoleum and responded with a smile to his daughter, whose face was filled with anxiety, panic and pain.

He raised his arm and said with great vigor:

"I have been an emperor for many years, and have stood at the pinnacle of human power. I have faced the true God, I have fought against angels, and I have a group of subordinates who are willing to die for me.

“I also brought the glory of civilization to that era. Even though I have been dead for hundreds of years, countless people still chant my name. I have slept with many beautiful women and dominated the fate of countless people. Even after I fell into trouble and was no longer an emperor, my daughter was willing to give up everything to save me and help me revive!
"What regrets do I have in my life?"

Bernadette heard the determination in her father's tone, her eyes turned red, and her voice became choked:

"father!"

She used all her abilities to try to get closer to her father, but the distance between them was like the separation between heaven and earth, and could not be narrowed no matter what she did.

A gentle smile appeared on Russell's almost completely clear face:

"Bernadette, do you remember when you were a child, your father often taught you lessons?"

Bernadette's nose felt sore and her vision was blurry:

"I remember you taught me words, told me a lot of knowledge, and told me many, many fairy tales..."

Drops of crystal tears slid down the face of this "mysterious queen".

Russell nodded with satisfaction:
"I remember that, too."

He continued with a slight smile:
"Today, Dad will give you the last lesson."

Roselle's expression gradually became serious. He looked at Bernadette and said in a resounding voice:

“A real man has things he does and things he doesn’t do!”

After saying this, Roselle turned around and stopped looking at Bernadette.

The door to the "Black Emperor" mausoleum in front of him opened instantly.

The light from outside suddenly shone in, shining on the giant figure of Roselle, on his black armor, and on his gorgeous cloak.

Bright and brilliant.
