Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 339 Emma's Truth

Emma is a typical girl who grew up in the American South.

She has a father who is old-fashioned but loves her very much. In an environment full of martial virtues, she learned horse riding and swordsmanship from a young age.

But adolescent girls always go through a rebellious phase, and Emma is no exception.

In high school, she applied to a university far away in Boston, and after successfully obtaining a degree, she came to New York. Her rough father, who had stayed in the South to raise cattle all his life, could not adapt to the refined and fast-paced life in the blue state, and returned to his hometown after visiting Emma several times.

And Emma also started her new life in New York.

At least that's what she thought.

After she had worked for three years, she decided to improve her academic qualifications and applied for a master's degree. The smart girl soon got what she wanted.

Life was supposed to go on beautifully, at least that's what she thought.

But the moment Emma found that book in the New York University library, she knew that her life would change dramatically.

The Cantos of Vecna, the magical book that brought her into this world.

And because of this, she became Vecna's puppet.

"Puch."

Nemesis' laughter interrupted Emma's story. Emma stared at the intruder with her dark pupils, but she found that the intruder said to her with contempt: "You still want to deceive me with such illogical and stupid words?"

The dark purple eyes pierced straight into Emma's eyes, as if they had seen through everything about her.

"Emma? No, or should I call you——[Er Ye Tian Sealing Technique]?" Nemesis said with a smile on his face.

Emma's pupils shrank, and she said coldly: "What are you talking about?"

Nemesis sighed and said, "To be honest, the legendary maze that is unique to the Dark Night Church is unknown even to the descendants of the Scroll Dragon."

He raised his left palm, and a sixteen-sided golden dice appeared above his palm, spinning and floating. "If it weren't for the hint Vic gave me, I wouldn't have thought that your true form was such a rare existence."

"A living, legendary spell." Nemesis looked at Emma with amazement in his eyes: "A true legendary [Animation Spell]."

In an instant, a flame of negative energy ignited on Emma's body and the dark energy swept through the entire underground treasure house like a tsunami. The ice precariously maintained its shape under the terrible power, but was powerless to resist the cracks that kept appearing.

"How did you find out?" Emma's voice became even colder.

"It's very simple," Nemesis said calmly in the face of the huge pressure, as if a spring breeze was blowing on his face. "Your common sense of reality betrays your nature as a virtual creature, and your intelligence exceeds the limit of what a sealing spell can do."

[Evil Night Sealing Technique], a legendary divine art unique to the believers of the Dark Night Goddess, a highest-level maze composed of 66,660,000 rune spell units.

It has only one function, and that is to seal.

[Er Ye Tian Seal] is a power created by the followers of the Goddess of Darkness with Shar's divine power as the core. It creates a divine art that confines an absolutely dark space. No legendary spell can break [Er Ye Tian Seal].

The seal can only be lifted by completing the unsealing conditions along the path set by it.

But even such a powerful spell must follow the basic principle of specialization. Even if the creator has set the unlocking conditions in a virtual game world for bad taste, the intelligence of Emma, ​​the "NPC", is really beyond the limit of what the spell can give.

She was like a real life. But that was not the reason why Nemesis made this conclusion.

What really confirmed Emma's identity was the information given to him by Vecna.

In the cellar, the shadow of Vic had completely different conversations with Emma and himself.

[You actually brought the key to my treasure house to find the keyhole... What a thoughtful sacrifice. 】

These were the original words of Vicna's phantom. The moment Vicna saw Emma, ​​he immediately determined her special identity—calling her the key to the treasure house.

At that time, Nemesis suspected that the other party was referring to Emma's sword, but the attitude of all the monsters in the fortress towards Emma denied this.

The key itself refers to Emma herself.

With or without the sword, Emma could easily walk into the fortress.

Because she is the real master of this world - the incarnation of [Erye Tian Sealing Technique].

"Tsk, that's why I hate spellcasters like you the most." Emma spat, "I had woven a beautiful dream for myself, and I just wanted to live a good life."

"But you - an arrogant scroll dragon, come and think you have the right to shatter my dreams, destroy the world I created, and end my life at will?"

"Impossible!" Emma roared at the top of her lungs, veins popping out of her forehead and blood seeping from the whites of her eyes. "This is my world! Now that you're here, you must live by my rules!"

Nemesis sneered and said, "Why, do you think that without me, you can always play here happily by yourself forever?"

"Stop dreaming."

He looked at Emma seriously and said, "You were created by the Dark Night Church. Even if you have awakened your consciousness and become an independent life form, you should be aware of the Dark Night Church's methods."

"[Dark Night Eclipse]. In no more than 40 years, this ritual will be completed, and a world-destroying disaster will befall the Earth. And you will not be immune."

Emma was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously denied: “Impossible!”

"Without me, Vicna will never be free again, but His Majesty will not allow that!"

Nemesis snorted. This was something he couldn't understand. If the earth was destroyed, the seal would also be broken. Wasn't Shar afraid that Vekna would escape?

Did she foresee that she would rescue Vecna? Or was she confident that she could solve the problem before the ritual began?

Nemesis hasn't figured this out yet, and he's not even sure whether the predictions made by the computer are accurate or not, but this doesn't affect his use of this as an excuse to recruit Emma.

That’s right, a legendary [Activation Spell], this is probably the pet and research object that every wizard dreams of owning.

You said [Eye Sky Sealing Technique] is a legendary magic? Don't forget that Nemesis is a [Guardian of Spells] that can handle magic, magic, and even shadow magic!
“Who knows, maybe that person has already found a way to deal with Vecna, and his followers no longer need you.” Nemesis spread his hands.

Emma lowered her head and muttered to herself, "Impossible, this is impossible! Why, I finally have my own will, why do you want to destroy me? Are gods so cold and heartless?"

Nemesis looked at Emma's distraught look and couldn't help but curl his lips. It seems that the IQ of the [Activation Spell] needs to be improved. I still have more tricks to say, but you believe it so quickly?
He decided to try harder: "They are so cruel to you, why do you still stay loyal to your duties? Why don't you cooperate with me and release Vecna? I can let you live in my demiplane, which is an absolutely safe place and also your favorite Shadowfallen Underworld environment."
