Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 240 Soul Slayer

"Is this the soul? Why are they like this now?" It was the first time that Stannis had such an intimate contact with the human soul.

Batesmore didn't answer him, and didn't seem to want to explain any scientific principles to him.

"This is the 980th sixth."

He said another sentence that Stannis could not understand at all.

Although he knew that the other party would lose his appetite again, Stannis still asked honestly, "What 986?"

Batesmore stroked the blade lovingly with his fingertips, and the white soul floating in the air was reabsorbed by the sword at once. He raised his head, and the excitement in his eyes couldn't be restrained.

"Another fourteen souls will be beheaded, and I will be able to complete my revenge."

Stannis suddenly thought of what the Legion Commander Hansen said at the banquet, if this sword only needs to kill a thousand souls, even gods can be killed!

Could it be that the drunken words that were taken as a joke at that time were true?
"Don't be kidding! If this sword is so powerful, there are still 14 souls left, you can just find some passers-by to fill up the number, and you will be invincible by then, so why bother to hang around behind me!" Stannis Pretending not to care, he waved his hands and prepared to go back to sleep, although the uneasiness in his heart was extremely strong.

"Stop!" Batesmore actually ordered.

Stannis stopped. No one had dared to be so arrogant to him as a lord.

But he turned away, and then Batesmore began to tell the story of his sword.

"The evil power of the soul to be devoured by this sword becomes stronger as it goes to the back. Ordinary souls can no longer satisfy it. Only the souls of extremely evil people can satisfy its appetite."

Stannis' heart beat faster, and he finally knew why this guy always went out to kill people, and he also understood that the other party really had bad intentions.

"And now your soul is filled with darkness, just what it needs."

No wonder this guy who has been absent from work insisted on coming this time. It turned out that he had already set his sights on his infected body. Stannis, who had seen his methods, did not have the confidence to be his opponent. Not only did this guy move violently, he even Can issue false flashes out of thin air!For this kind of two-dimensional skills, Stannis said that he can't beat it with the head!
"However, it would be too stupid to take your life just for the sake of one soul." Batesmore raised his head, his red pupils went out, "I'm curious why you were chosen by 'him' to become' His 'vanguard?"

This guy really knows a lot!I just kept holding back in my stomach and refused to say it.

"Are you also possessed by black water like me?" Now that the words are open, there is nothing to hide.

The mercenary nodded, "The difference is that you were chosen by the seal of God, while I begged 'him' to get this armor and this sword."

"Why?" Stannis didn't react. Is there anyone in this world who is actively infected by this dark force.

"I want to use the power of darkness to avenge the abyss."

Stannis opened his mouth and was speechless for a long time. He didn't expect a person to be so heartless for revenge that he could even sell his soul.

"Have you seen the seal of God?"

Batesmore didn't speak, and the scene of black water drilling into his pores from the surface of his skin so many years ago was still vivid in his memory.

"I am a fisherman from Galilee in the northern part of the three islands, and I have been wandering the world for nearly a hundred years."

He finally opened his mouth to tell his story.

Stannis wasn't surprised by his longevity, he knew that was the price to pay for being a puppet of darkness, to be ruled by black armor and wander the world forever.

"Originally I had a wife and two children." Like all familiar revenge stories, they unfolded because of the family.

"When that happened 70 years ago, a wandering businessman came from the village where I lived. His appearance was very handsome, just like the painting of an angel in the church. The young girls in the village were all attracted by this beautiful boy. "

Stannis felt that the so-called beautiful boy was not simple.

"And on the same day, I fished out a fragment of what looked like a statue from the bottom of the sea rock. It seemed to have been peeled off from some imprint. I took it home and put it in the living room as an ornament."

Fragments of the God Seal!
"In the days that followed, everything happened peacefully like flowing water. I even invited that young man to my house for dinner. But suddenly one day, when I was out, the village was blocked by the boy for no reason. The youth was slaughtered, and everyone died except me."

When he said this, Batesmore's tone was calm, as if he was telling another person's story.

"As I stepped into the room where my wife and child lay in tears of blood, the shard began to glow black as if to echo my grief. From that day forward, I decided to avenge the devil, even if it cost my soul Betrayed to another demon!"

"In the end, I exchanged my soul for this armor and this sword, and became a soul slayer who collected souls for the seal of the gods. In the ensuing 70 years of revenge and pursuit, I didn't know that the original girl was hiding What I saw was an abyss master, and he walked all the way to devour souls."

"What! Master of the Abyss! It turns out there are more than one of them." Stannis thought that Robert and Evelyn had worked hard before the New Year to seal a weak Master of the Abyss.

"Yes, he is called the supreme being in this world, but even so, I will give up everything and kill him!"

Even just standing by, Stannis could feel how fierce the man's obsession with revenge was, and he would not hesitate to fall into hell for this, and there was nothing that could stop him.

"So I must not die before this, and as the owner of the hiding place I chose, you must not die before I complete my revenge!" Batesmore raised his head and said to him in a strong tone.

Stannis quickly apologized, "Of course, we all have to live well."

"However, as someone who has experienced it, I still give you some advice, so that you can get used to this dark force and prevent it from corrupting you as soon as possible."

The lord was all ears.

"First, you have to resist the urge to tear the skin off."

Stannis felt itchy all over again.

"If you really want to scratch, think more about naked beautiful women or men. This dark force seems to be allergic to this."

Looks like this guy has a lot to offer.

"Then, your heart of darkness will eventually fill you up. Don't try to defeat it, because no matter whose mind it is, it will eventually corrode it. It's just a matter of how long it takes."

Stannis didn't like this suggestion very much, didn't he end up becoming this monster?Stannis felt sick at the thought of his handsome face becoming so mangled and covered with hooks.

"In the end, the ultimate time to become a slave to darkness depends on when you are consumed by the beast that comes out of your mind, like mine is right there."

Stannis followed his eyes and looked into the distance. A huge dire wolf was standing across the lake. Its pitch-black fur had finally merged into one. If it weren't for the row of bared white teeth, Stannis would still I really didn't realize that it has been quietly hiding in the darkness.
