Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 327 Zarath and the Fool

On the peak of the Hornages Mountains stands an ancient palace shrouded in mist, dilapidated and overgrown with weeds.

Ember's figure appeared in front of the palace, glanced at the ancient palace, then got up and walked towards the main entrance.

The demigods of the 'apprentice' and 'thief' paths have all been arrested, and now only the demigods of the 'seer' path remain.

It's a pity that the demigods of the "Seer" path may be lacking in combat, but they are definitely full of talent in escaping.Even if Klein could temporarily locate them with the help of Arrods, one or two minutes of positioning time is not enough at all. They will soon find a new identity to hide themselves, so it is quite difficult for Ember to find them.

In particular, the return of Zaratul made those treacherous mages belonging to the "Secret Order" shudder. They were already frightened, and it would only be more difficult to catch them under the premise that they could not be accurately located.

Therefore, Ember didn't waste time looking for these trick mages, but directly locked the target on 'The Fool'——

The half 'fool' of the Antigonus family.

Ember slowly walked to the main gate of the palace, stretched out her hands, and slowly pushed the heavy stone gate.

Amidst the sound of Zhazaza's friction, the door opened little by little, revealing a path for one person to pass through, and at the same time revealing the scene inside.

What appeared in front of his eyes was a hall with many corpses hanging there, each corpse was different, there were male and female genders, and the clothes were gorgeous, simple, delicate, or casual.

Behind these hangers, there is a transparent and smooth tentacle with complex patterns, all of which come from the depths of the hall, from an ancient stone chair there.

On the huge stone chair, transparent and twisted worms huddled together and grew wantonly, extending one after another weird tentacles towards the surroundings.

This is the half 'fool' of the Antigonus family, the half 'fool' who has lost control and gone crazy!
He who accommodates the uniqueness is the well-deserved king of angels, while the half-mad 'Fool' is even more terrifying.Because "half madness" means that this half "fool" is out of control and crazy, but it also means that his self-cognition can no longer suppress the will of the "lord of mysteries" in his body, and the two spirits are stitched together. It embodies the most primitive, instinctive, bloody and crazy side, which makes him far more difficult to deal with than when he is sober.

But for Ember, this half 'fool' is the best to deal with.

He can't run after all.

Ember slowly walked through the gate and stepped inside the palace.

Upon sensing the opening of the gate and the approach of the embers, the group of worms left the stone chair and violently waved their greasy tentacles, causing them to flock towards the gate crazily, as if affected by some invisible suction force.

But all of this was only fleeting, and in the blink of an eye, the squirming hand, the huge throne, and the worm group disappeared at the same time.

In front of Ember's eyes, there was only a dark scene, which could not be illuminated even by light.

But soon, the darkness rippled along with it, and the surrounding scenes also changed.

Buildings appeared in the surroundings, figures walked in the street, and words spread out, making the whole environment suddenly vivid and noisy.

People turned a blind eye to the embers standing in front of them, and went to different places on their own, talking to each other about various things.

They and those buildings are dim in color, close to black and white, like an old photo from the depths of history that suddenly came alive.

Ember also had no intention of communicating with them, but just walked forward along the gradually ascending street.

And the closer to the high place, the more magnificent the building, with an exaggerated dome supported by huge stone pillars.

The people living in this 'black and white old photo' are generally tall and seem to be studying, working and resting normally.

The scenes here change continuously, showing the birth of a baby, the growth of a child, the ignorance of youth, the troubles of adulthood, the pressure of middle age, and the sadness of aging. After death, they turn into marionettes and confidently go to the palace on the peak...

This is the kingdom of night.

Belongs to the 'Mother of Heaven' and also belongs to the half 'Fool'.

The living believe in the 'Mother of Heaven', and the dead serve as secret puppets to serve the 'Fool'.

A set of procedures is smooth and smooth, and the way of draining believers is even praised by capitalists.

Ember stepped on the road up the mountain again, and entered the magnificent palace dedicated to gods.

In the depths of the palace, on the huge stone chair, a figure rested his elbows on the armrests, leaning his head against the back of the chair.

His face is quite young, but his long hair is half white, half hidden and half obvious; his appearance is male, his eyes are darker than Zaratul, and there are indescribable vicissitudes; his facial features are not bad, On the cheeks, there are clusters of thick black short hairs like wolf hairs, giving people a contradictory feeling of being old and young, rational and crazy.

This is the ancestor of the Antigonus family. This time, he did not appear in the form of a mythical creature, but sat on the huge stone chair in his original appearance.

At this moment, His eyes are half-opened and half-closed, as if he is resting, and inside the hall, there are corpses with simple or gorgeous clothes hanging.

They are like upside-down forests, swaying gently in the wind.

Although it was already the second time to 'go up the mountain', Ember was not surprised by what happened before her eyes.

He knew that he was in a dream, in the dream of the ancestor of the Antigonus family on the stone chair, half a 'fool'.

The Kingdom of the Night and the City of the Dead he saw just now, and all the scenes he saw were Antigonus' dreams.

A thousand years away from the dream.

Even though he was born with an extraordinary species, Antigonus seemed to be deeply nostalgic for the peaceful and peaceful small country that used to be.

For him, the dream that has always lingered is undoubtedly one of the best memories in the past.

But unfortunately, all this is the past tense.

This place used to be the Kingdom of the Night, ruled by the 'Mother of the Sky' and half of the 'Fool'.

And now, here belongs to the 'night'.

'Kingdom of the Night' has been completely destroyed, and 'Mother of Heaven' has become a sealed item '0-17', a container for the goddess to descend.And half of the 'Fool' was also sealed in this ancient palace forever because he was out of control and half insane.

And the instigator of all this is the Evernight Goddess.

When the embers appeared on the peak and opened the gate of the ancient palace, the Evernight Goddess had already sensed it.

The reason why Ember entered this dream was undoubtedly the guidance of the Evernight Goddess.

Because in the dream, the half-fool who fell into eternal sleep is far easier to deal with than the half-mad Him.

As for why the 'Goddess of the Night' chose to seal it instead of directly killing half of the 'Fool', the reason is also very simple:
Because for half the 'fool', death means new life.

The Sequence 2 of the 'Seer' path is called 'Master of Miracles', what is a miracle?

Coming back from the dead is a miracle!
Of course, the essence of such miracles is the deep utilization of the power of the past.

Therefore, when a master of miracles dies, the Extraordinary characteristics contained in their destroyed bodies will unknowingly enter the pores of history, and combine with the projections of "spiritual insects" from the past, giving them substance, which can be obtained from history. The mist emerged and reorganized the body in the real world and was resurrected.

The only problem is that this 'resurrection' is limited in number of times, and a master of miracles can only be resurrected up to four times.

And if you can become the Servant of Mysteries, the number of resurrections will be reset to four.

Because when a "Master of Miracles" or "Servant of Mysteries" is cornered, they can also use suicide to survive by docking their tails.

As for this miracle of 'resurrecting from the dead', unless it is a higher-order Extraordinary with the same path, it is difficult for even gods to stop it.

Therefore, whether it is half of the 'Fool' or 'Zaratul', the choice of the Evernight Goddess is a seal.

And if you want to prevent their resurrection, it is almost impossible to do.

Although theoretically higher-sequence Beyonders of the same path can stop them, one of them is already a Sequence 1 'Servant of Mysteries', while the other is a unique King of Angels, unless they can be killed, it is almost impossible to stop them. There may be existences of higher order than them - the only exception is Origin Castle.

Klein, who controls Origin Castle, can prevent their resurrection, but only if Klein is at least a Sequence 2 Master of Miracles.

Because only if he is strong enough, can he leverage enough power belonging to Origin Castle, and rely on the suppression of the personality, to forcibly extract the Extraordinary characteristics from their bodies bit by bit.

And once they lose their Extraordinary characteristics, they also lose all the Extraordinary abilities based on their Extraordinary characteristics.

So in the final analysis, the process of 'resurrecting from the dead' is still irreversible. This method of forced aggregation is completely drastic, cutting off the hope of the other party's rebirth before it dies.

But the current Klein is only a Sequence 5, not even a demigod, and his personality is far from being able to suppress a Sequence 1 angel.

But embers can.

Although he is only a 'traveler' of Sequence 5, Chuhuo's personality is higher than the source quality.

And now, half of the Origin Castle has turned into the shape of Chuhuo.

This also means that Ember can mobilize the power of Origin Castle with the help of Chuhuo's introduction.

On the same path as half of the 'fool', the suppression of personality is formed.

Ember moved his eyes away from the man with thick black hairs on his face, and landed on the side of the huge stone chair, where there was a Tarot card with the image of Roselle written in starlight.

Obviously, some unlucky guy who got the 'Tarot Card' came to this palace on his own initiative under the effect of the Law of Extraordinary Characteristics Convergence, and became one of the corpses hanging upside down on the top.

And this tarot card also fell into the hands of half of the 'fool'.

And just like half of the 'Fool' itself, this 'Fool' card also has its own function.

Therefore, Ember put away the tarot card without any psychological burden.

During the whole process, half of the 'Fool' was still asleep, unable to escape from the eternal sleep imposed by the 'Evernight Goddess' herself.

Silently, the flames began to spread from nowhere, eroding this dream little by little.From the initial small flame, it quickly spread to the monstrous flame that engulfed the entire palace in flames!

The raging sea of ​​flames stopped abruptly in front of the high platform.

Neither the stone chair itself nor the half of the 'fool' sitting on it were affected in the slightest.

Flame surrounds it like a pack of wolves, but it will not act rashly until it receives orders from its master.

Finally, when the entire dreamland was engulfed in flames, only half of the 'Fool' on the stone chair was left.

The turbulent flames slowly condensed into a vortex of worms with countless slippery tentacles emerging slowly. The left half of the swirl was covered with greasy tentacles, while the right half was completely covered by flames, like the tentacles formed by the condensed flames. Moved, seemed extraordinarily quiet.

And in the center of that half of the 'flame' vortex, there is a strange phantom of a light gate.Turned into a strange phantom light door.

And even that light door, half of it was also covered in flames, which was completely symmetrical with the left half!
The light gate didn't move, the vortex turned sharply, and the terrifying suction raged, sucking everything around into it.Whether it's the flames covering the dream, or the half 'fool' who fell into eternal sleep on the stone chair!
Under the dual suppression of personality and eternal sleep, the Extraordinary characteristics of half of the 'Fool' were precipitated bit by bit, faster and faster.

The light transformed by Extraordinary characteristics gathered into a cluster in the air, and finally turned into a cluster of objects like a heart. The heart was as transparent as crystal, but small bubbles appeared from time to time, and each bubble seemed to hide a kind of illusion. .

That is the extraordinary characteristic of Sequence 2 'Master of Miracles'!
Ember was a little surprised by such a change, because what he most wanted to be drawn out should be the uniqueness of 'The Fool' or the extraordinary characteristics of the Sequence 1 'Servant of Mysteries', but what was drawn out now was the Sequence 2' Miracle Master's Extraordinary Characteristics...

Ember frowned slightly, but soon relaxed her brows.

Because he figured out the reason - this half 'fool' has a high probability of swallowing two copies of the Extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 2.

One of the Beyonder characteristics of Sequence 2 is closely integrated with other Beyonder characteristics, like an indestructible skyscraper.And the extra part is free from this building, just like the security booth of the building.

Therefore, it was this 'security booth' that was drawn out first.

call out!
As soon as the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Master of Miracles' took shape, he quickly flew towards the light door.

But before that, Ember suddenly stretched out his hand and held it firmly in the palm of his hand!

The Light Gate is the manifestation of the personality of 'Origin Castle', and Ember just borrows its 'personality' to suppress and forcibly aggregate Extraordinary characteristics, but does not intend to allow 'Origin Castle' itself to have any Extraordinary characteristics.

After putting away the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Master of Miracles', another 'Galaxy River' was pulled out from the body of half of the 'Fool' soon, and slowly gathered into a ball of bright light.

And this time, it is the uniqueness of the 'Fool' pathway!
Same as the Extraordinary Characteristics of the 'Master of Miracles' that was separated out before, once the uniqueness appeared, it quickly flew to the light gate.

And at this moment, in this dreamland where only the 'fool' sleeps forever, an old man wearing a black robe with a hood, his eyes as dark as the surface of dull water, and a long and thick white beard around his mouth Suddenly appearing on the side of the stone chair, together with Ember, he looked at the uniqueness flying towards the light gate in the air!
