Lord of Mysteries: The Color of the Stars
Chapter 51 The Death Archon and the Third Rule of Play
After his initial surprise, Julian realized that he had likely gained the angelic status of the "Death Archon" through Mr. Azik's approval, which allowed him to fully digest the potion.
"Therefore, the last rule of the 'Four Color Awakeners' should be: 'Color' is not only concrete and visual, but may also be subjective and abstract. This includes every change and twist outside of the monotonous plot, as well as those extraordinary experiences."
"The spectrum of life is finite, but the vibrancy of life itself is infinite. Only by realizing this can one be considered a complete 'Four-Colored Awakener'."
"Just as Mr. Azik said, as the son of death and the 'Death Archon,' He himself represents 'Paleness' in a sense. Allowing Him to feel that his life has become colorful is indeed enough to completely digest the 'Four-Colored Awakener' potion."
He had originally planned to continue working at the "Fortune Telling Club" as a face reader to gradually digest the remaining potion, but now it seems things didn't have to be that complicated.
Whether it was Julian's own imagination or not, after he fully digested the "Four-Colored Awakener" potion, the faint buzzing sensation that occasionally appeared in his ears seemed to have lessened somewhat.
Although it was only a little bit, it still gave Julian a feeling of refreshment.
"It is my honor, Mr. Azik."
Julian, having regained his senses, spoke sincerely. After he finished speaking, the two smiled at each other and continued walking up the mountain.
About 1 kilometer later, a small village appeared in front of them. The village looked unremarkable, but next to it was a waterfall that was tens of meters high, cascading down with a deafening roar.
"...This should be the place."
Julian looked around.
"This is the place marked on the map, but I never expected that anyone would live here."
"On the other hand, there don't seem to be any ruins or anything like that around here... Could there be something wrong with the map?"
"not necessarily."
Mr. Azik shook his head:
"Let me try."
Having said that, He picked up His staff and tapped it lightly on the ground twice.
The next second, Julian suddenly heard intermittent sobbing sounds coming from all around him.
Not only that, even the ambient temperature seemed to have suddenly dropped several degrees.
Through the super vision possessed by the "Four-Colored Awakener," Julian noticed many white phantoms appearing nearby.
These phantoms, centered on Mr. Azik, began to spread outwards, penetrating mountains, rivers, and even underground, seemingly conducting an exploration.
A few seconds later, Mr. Azik pointed his finger at the roaring waterfall:
"There is a man-made, separate space behind that."
"Truly efficient."
Julian remarked with genuine emotion.
Admittedly, it makes sense if the Antigonus family's treasure is inside the falls.
The immense force of the waterfall is enough to keep all ordinary humans out, making it an excellent way to protect the site.
Mr. Azik grabbed Julian's arm, and the next second the surrounding scenery began to blur.
Strange colors appeared all around, but quickly turned pale.
When Julian came to his senses, he and Mr. Azik were already inside a cave behind the waterfall.
"This... spirit world travel?"
Julian realized what was happening and looked up at Mr. Azik.
Even though Mr. Azik's power is not complete because half of his soul has been taken away, he can still use the ability of "spirit traversal" to travel short distances within a certain range.
It has to be said that this is indeed a very useful ability. Having tasted its benefits, Julian couldn't help but secretly resolve that once he advanced to the middle sequence, he must find a way to obtain an extraordinary item corresponding to the "Traveler" extraordinary trait, so that he could travel everywhere.
Although the cave below was very dark, Julian was still able to see the general situation inside thanks to the super vision of the "Four-Colored Awakener" and the halo of the "Star Color".
"...It seems someone has been here before."
Julian immediately noticed fresh footprints on the decaying stone steps.
The shoe size of the footprint is not large, and it looks like it was left by a woman.
He could also see that although the stone steps were very slippery, the female visitor's steps were very steady, and her balance seemed to be completely unaffected.
However, due to the humidity in the air, Julian was unable to determine the exact time when the footprint appeared.
"Is it that 'magician' named Lina Powell from the 'Secret Order'?"
Julian, who had previously held onto a sliver of hope, frowned upon now that he had confirmed the other party's presence.
If Lena Powell takes what's inside, then he'll have made a wasted trip.
Just then, Mr. Azik suddenly spoke up:
"Julian...there are people inside."
"Lina Powell hasn't left yet?"
Julian's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.
If that's the case, it means that he and Mr. Azik have a very high chance of intercepting the other party here!
He nodded slightly, briefly explained the situation to Mr. Azik, and then walked ahead alone, with Mr. Azik bringing up the rear.
As you walk along, colorful murals begin to appear on the walls on both sides.
The content of these murals is very strange. The initial content records a group of wolf-like creatures encountering some kind of natural disaster. Afterwards, a male and a female wolf escaped their habitat, crossed the sea, and went to some other place.
Then the scene shifts, and a kingdom built on a mountain peak appears before Julian and Mr. Azik's eyes.
In this country, there are many scenes of ordinary people living their normal lives, but there are also records that appear to be funeral rites.
After the dead were placed in coffins, they were pulled by ropes to the highest point of the mountain, where there was a special, glittering symbol that seemed to correspond to some kind of belief related to the afterlife.
"This...the Kingdom of Night?"
As Julian was thinking this, he suddenly felt his brain begin to spasm violently, and many illusory worship and praises began to appear in his ears, causing him great pain.
"Well……"
Julian staggered a few steps, grabbed the wall beside him for support, and rolled his eyes back, his whole body beginning to tremble violently.
"Julian!"
Mr. Azik immediately called out.
Although he also felt somewhat unwell, he was much better than Julian.
Just as Mr. Azik was about to use "spirit teleportation" to temporarily take Julian away, the latter suddenly raised his head.
A flash of neon light appeared in his eyes, and the pained expression on his face eased considerably.
"...It's alright now, let's continue."
After a brief silence, Julian spoke again.
