This isn't a souls-like game at all.

It would be better to ask, why are they sacrificed and what is the purpose of sacrificing them to the starry sky?

Judging from the item description, the sacrifice should have been done by the Curse Master.

After the winged man was sacrificed, his remaining true spirit merged into the scroll, turning it into an eternal prison for the wingless.

"Eternal Cage..."

Looking at these four words, Ye Yiyi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Isn't that the Eternal Cage? If he didn't have Eagle Wing Surprise Attack, which could materialize wings behind him, he would probably never be able to trigger the BOSS battle of "Winged Man's Whisper".

If the boss battle cannot be triggered, there is no way to destroy the Nightmare Lord, and naturally there is no way to escape from the painting.

In the game, this is called a dead file. For games with save files, you can avoid dead files by rolling back.

If you don't have a save file, you'll have to delete it and start over.

In a reality where there are no rollbacks or deletions, this is what is called eternal imprisonment.

"Is this why Alice specifically told me to be careful?" He swallowed with some fear.

It's thanks to him. If it was someone else, such as Aidan, Big Beard or Bai Yu, we would probably be stuck here.

Rather, this is the best way to deal with infinite life cheats like me, he thought.

"This time it might just be a coincidence, but we must not let them realize that this is the best way to target me."

He silently put the scroll into the four-dimensional chrysanthemum, put away the broken metal arm, and walked towards the end of the familiar road.

He couldn't figure out the reason for the Winged People's sacrifice, so the best solution was to continue exploring.

On the way, he checked the rewards for destroying the Nightmare Lord.

"Two 100% progress points for deconstructing everything. So this is what you get after deconstructing everything."

He looked at the information on the simplified light screen with a thoughtful expression.

"Let me see. [Magic Deconstruction: Starfall], this deconstruction can be used on all projectile magic. The specific effect seems to be to greatly increase the projectile speed, give all projectiles a layer of meteorite shell, and give them a comet tail effect like a meteor. At the same time, this spell can also benefit from the characteristics of star magic."

After learning about the specific effects, Ye Yiyi was shocked.

"So, by adding this to the magic deconstruction, I can turn the magic comet into a real meteorite comet?"

Of course, this deconstruction can also be added to other magic, such as magic that does not benefit from the star magic feature bonus.

"It just so happens that I haven't removed the Magic Armor-Breaking Cone yet, so why not try adding this Deconstruction?"

He did it as soon as he thought of it. He divided his attention into two tasks. While on his way, he deconstructed the [Magic Arrow] in his mind and added the [Starfall] feature to it.

Then he tried to cast a deconstructed magic.

The tip of the Moonlight Spear flashed white, and a long magical armor-piercing cone emerged in the white light.

Then, a dark blue meteorite shell emerged from the armor-piercing cone, wrapping it up and blocking the white magical light.

Ye Yiyi waved the Moonlight Gun, and the Star Meteorite Armor-Piercing Cone suddenly shot out. A loud bang was heard, and a white airflow formed a conical cloud at the cone body that spread evenly in all directions.

The long blue meteor comet tail flashed by, and the armor-piercing cone disappeared completely.

"Is that... a sonic boom cloud?"

Ye Yiyi stared at the scene, stunned with shock.

"Did that thing break the speed of sound?"

He quickly quickened his pace and rushed towards the direction where the armor-piercing cone was shot from.

Soon, he came to a thick stone wall.

There was a hole of medium size in the middle of the stone wall, and from its appearance, it was about the same diameter as the armor-piercing cone.

He went to the wall again to check and found another round hole of the same size on the wall behind the round hole.

He continued to move forward woodenly, and finally found half of the armor-breaking cone fragment on the eighth wall, as well as a large number of broken meteorite fragments scattered in the room.

The meteorite shell of the meteorite armor-piercing cone has been broken, revealing a special hollow structure.

The magic arrow that served as the internal filling consumed all its strength in the process of penetrating the wall, and therefore lost its power, causing the meteorite's outer shell to shatter.

Even so, this meteorite armor-piercing cone still penetrated eight thick stone walls and continued to travel nearly a hundred meters.

After penetrating the last wall, the shattered meteorite fragments splashed onto the space behind the wall.

"It actually has an aftereffect. This really is an armor-piercing bullet..."

This power made Ye Yiyi fall into deep thought.

"This power is enough to hit tanks, and the meteorite shell might make it immune to the magic field. If it is used to attack unarmored units..."

This is probably what it feels like to use tank guns to attack infantry.

Of course, compared to the real falling of stars, this power is still far less.

"This is really outrageous..."

He couldn't help scratching his head and continued to check out another magical deconstruction.

"[Magic Deconstruction: Binding], this deconstruction can be used on all offensive magic and some auxiliary magic. The effect is also very simple. When the magic hits the enemy, it can reduce its movement speed and increase the impact force on the enemy.

Simply put, this deconstruction works on the magic arrow, which can slow down the magic arrow when it hits the enemy and cause the enemy to become more stiff.

It also works on enchantments like "Magic Weapon".

The enchanted weapon can also slow down and increase the impact force when it successfully hits the enemy.

Of course, this deconstruction works best when used on multi-projectile magic like [Magic Star Hail].

Think about it, each hail of stars has an independent slowing effect. As long as you hit one, the hit rate can be greatly improved under the influence of the slowing effect.

A large amount of star hail falls from the sky, continuously providing a deceleration effect, which can achieve "binding!"

“Simple and powerful, a truly unpretentious effect.”

Ye Yiyi couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time added this deconstruction to the [Meteoric Armor-Breaking Cone].

With the addition of these two Deconstructions of Everything, not only does the mana cost of this spell increase from 20 to 26, but the intelligence requirement also increases from 25 to 39.

"This consumption is already higher than the 24 of the Magic Comet, and the intelligence requirement is also a bit higher..."

Judging from the actual power demonstrated, [Binding Meteoric Armor-Breaking Cone] is not inferior to [Magic Comet] at all, and its special binding effect even surpasses it.

Looking at the information displayed on the light screen, Ye Yiyi felt that magic was truly amazing.

This also made him look forward to the Annihilation Storm, whose deconstruction progress was only 9%.

Sighing, he walked along the road to the end, the corridor outside the garden that he had arrived at in his dream.

"By the way, the terrain inside the castle is exactly the same as in the dream?"

He looked at the familiar corridor, suddenly sniffed, looked up at the garden where it was raining heavily, and his pupils contracted slightly.

"This……"

There is no pool of blood in the garden, but there is something more indescribable than a pool of blood.

In the center of the garden, dozens of tall wooden crosses are connected end to end, forming a large circle.

And on top of each cross, there is a winged man with wings behind him.

Several sharp steel nails were driven evenly along the wings, nailing them to the left and right arms of the cross.

The pair of soft wings of different colors were now dyed red by the blood flowing from the wound.

"Is this... the sacrificial site of the Winged Manufacture Group?" Ye Yiyi was deeply shocked and uneasy.

"Why would the Curse Master do this?"

He walked over and looked around at each of the winged figures suffering on the cross in the heavy rain.

These winged people are not much different from humans except that they have wings on their backs.

But at this moment, those who were hanging on the cross were all skinny, with skin covering their bones, their faces were dry, and blood was flowing from all their orifices.

It was as if something had drained away all the vitality and he died.

"Sacrifice..."

He repeated this word in his mind, and suddenly understood why the giant hand and the pool of blood in his dream appeared in the garden.

"Raise the wings of freedom? How ironic..."

Looking at the wings nailed firmly to the cross, he shook his head helplessly.

All the Winged people were dead, no one could survive the sacrifice. Ye Yiyi looked around and was suddenly attracted by something not far away that reflected the light of the waist lamp.

"Is this... the center of the circle?"

With a puzzled expression on his face, he walked to the center of the circle formed by the cross and picked up a muddy iron plate from the ground.

After wiping off the mud on the surface of the iron plate, Ye Yiyi looked at it with the light of the waist lamp and found that there were some symbols engraved on the iron plate that he could not understand.

Fortunately, with the help of the light curtain, he recognized the origin of the iron plate.

【Sacrifice for the Moonless Night】

Skill Cost: 600 Focus/1800 Health

Attribute correction: Intelligence E, Mystic C

Proficiency: (0/5)

Item Description: A magic array prop made by a crazy magician.

You can consume concentration points to temporarily cover the light of the azure eternal moon.

Call the stars to come.

It is said that this is a magic prop made by a magician in a frenzy.

After being transformed by the curse master's magic,

Can use health instead of concentration to cast spells.

It is said that after the magician saw the stars and the hidden darkness in the universe,

Thus plunged into irreversible madness:

All life! Originated from the stars! Return to the stars!

"600 skill cost? 1800 health points?"

After reading the item description, Ye Yiyi was stunned.

Of course, what shocked him was not only the horrific skill consumption, but also the usefulness of this iron plate, or magic item.

"Isn't this effect exactly the same as [Total Eclipse Moon]?"

Looking at the winged people's corpses hanging in a circle around him, he suddenly understood the reason for the sacrifice.

"So the purpose of sacrificing the Winged Man is to use this magic item to summon the Indigo Lighthouse..."

Holding the wet, cold iron plate in his hands, his mood suddenly became heavy.

"I didn't kill Boren, but he died because of me...

"Curse Masters...you are truly ruthless!"

Ye Yiyi raised his lowered head, murderous intent in his eyes.

He is not a brainless saint who would feel guilty because of the death of the Winged Man.

It is a fact that so many innocent people died, including those in the castle hall, and no one can deny it.

But if the curse master didn't treat people as human beings and life as consumables, how could such a thing happen?

Ultimately, it's all the fault of the perpetrator and the one who wields the curse.

"I'm going to kill every last one of you!"

After putting away the iron plate, he walked out of the circle formed by the winged people's corpses with a cold face and came to the gate of the building under the rock wall.

The door was not closed, but left a gap for people to enter and exit. There were strange mud marks on the clean ground, which seemed to be the footprints of some creature.

Ye Yiyi glanced down, then took out the Moonlight Gun from behind him and stepped into the gap.

"Bang!"

The wooden door automatically closed behind me even without wind, isolating me from the wind and rain outside.
