Zongman: Beginning with the Killer Queen

I could vaguely hear the sound of a heartbeat.

But Rita knew that this was impossible.

Although she had not yet attacked with all her strength, Fufu had obviously been aroused to be sadistic.

And when she still had to guard against the Living Saint and Heiji, she wanted to fight Gaia's monsters gracefully and calmly. This thought was easily peeled off like a sticker.

And what washed them down was the blood as red as a waterfall.

Even as an ancestor, Rita Rojian's body could only repeat the process of disappearing and then reviving.

In order to maximize her thinking ability, she could only take care of the area above her neck at most, and had no time to take care of her heart.

It is said that the body of a vampire cannot feel pain, but as a legitimate dead apostle, Rita can assert that this is just a lie deliberately woven by humans to maintain the purity of fantasy.

It is precisely because of the powerful immortality that this pain goes deeper into the bone marrow.

...What a humiliation.

Although she said nothing, the expression on Rita's face clearly revealed her thoughts.

Although from the perspective of an observer, the battle was not only fierce, but also not even the testing stage had not yet ended. Her recovery ability had not been affected at all.

To be precise, she could fight all night with such an attack and defense.

But the girl could not allow herself to show her weakness to the enemy who had just boasted.

This was especially true when she noticed that Roland and Altluchi did not seem to intend to participate in the battle at all, but were just watching the show with relish.

For Rita, who claimed to be a noble, being treated like a lion in a circus was no different from a desperate situation where she risked her life.

"To continue to be injured in such a miserable way is a shame for Rojian, and also a shame for the ancestors of us dead disciples."

With such a resolute thought, Rita closed her eyes as if she had made up her mind.

Then, when Fufu's attack came again, she ignored the body that was cut off again, gave up the regeneration from instinct, and concentrated everything on the only remaining head.

Then, she opened her eyes.

——Opened her eyes.

That was the only way to describe the scene.

Just like pouring ink into water, with Rita's head as the center, a rich stream of light burst out from her eyes and quickly grew into a pillar of light that penetrated the sky and the earth.

"That's it... That's her principle blood ring! This arrogant woman really can't stand this kind of embarrassing deadlock."

Alterluqi stared at Rita's figure, with obvious excitement in her tone.

Perhaps because it was too smooth, Heiji at this moment was like a primary school student who wanted to show off a new toy to an adult, and kept pulling Roland's sleeve.

"Hmm..."

Roland responded to Alterluqi slowly, and his pupils also flashed with star-like light, which made people dare not look directly at him.

He raised his chin slightly and looked at the sky above.

But what was reflected in his pupils was not the mysterious Eye of the Moon, but a formula as complex and pure as a circuit board, as if it contained some kind of law.

In order to reach the root, the first generation of magicians will first exhaust everything, find a feasible path, and set a goal.

Then, they will use fantasy materials, fragments of treasures, or even parts of the body, and transform them into fixed mysteries - magic seals.

Then, all research results, knowledge, and techniques are injected into them and passed on.

And their next generation will repeat this behavior to resist the passage of time and pass on this obsession.

In the transmission from generation to generation, this obsession will be completely integrated into the blood of the next generation with the magic seal and engraved in the soul.

This is the curse called the Grand Designation.

And because of immortality, the dead apostles do not need to use such a painstaking way to pass on their ideals.

They only need to continue to study what they have learned like humans for a long time.

Even Roland cannot give an accurate conclusion on which of the two paths is better.

The path of magic is to pass on obsession and knowledge. Even if the descendants do not have the vision of their predecessors, because they are locals born in the new era, they can make timely fine-tuning of the road goals according to the decline or revival of the mystery.

Thus, it is always guaranteed to go in the most feasible direction and will not deviate from the original intention due to acclimatization.

The dead apostles are fixed mysteries themselves, and often due to different ways of survival, the road is getting more and more deviated, just like doing summer homework that will never be completed in a lifetime in a summer vacation that will never end.

Although such repeated accumulation is not necessarily correct, the difficulty of obtaining results is much lower than the ideal of pursuing the root.

The so-called principle blood ring is the fruit of replacing the curse of the crown designation with the curse of immortality.

Although it is not as omnipotent as the existence linked to the root, the power of the principle blood ring is by no means inferior.

As a power that can only be exercised for at least a thousand years, the holder of the principle blood ring will rewrite the planetary laws within a certain range according to its own principles and force it to update the version.

That is to say, it is a plus version of the mental world such as the inherent barrier, or in other words... a humanoid singularity.

Because of this, although the summoning of the Heroic Spirit was not destroyed and the world line entered the side of Tsukihime, in this era of mysterious decline, the Ancestor of the Dead Apostles can still become a great enemy that the Church and the Magic Association jointly fight against.

After all, this kind of poison that is absolutely incompatible with the world, as long as it exists, is a huge threat to human nature.

As long as you have it, even if you were an unknown vampire before, you will be honored as the Ancestor of the Dead Apostles.

"Arrogant woman? Ha... Lord Jijun, I think this evaluation is equally appropriate for you, isn't it?"

After activating the Principle Blood Ring, Rita Rojian, who had just been silent because of the unfavorable situation, seemed to have found her backbone and restored her calm attitude.

"In order to observe and crack my principles, you only let Casey Palug take action and keep yourself safe."

"Do you think I am one of those trash who inherited the blood ring of principles but can't even resist the crusade of the church?"

It's really funny to hear such words from someone who was being beaten unilaterally by Fufu the last second.

But Roland didn't refute it. Even Altluchi, who had been mocking me before, just gritted his teeth in dissatisfaction.

Judging from the current performance, this sentence is really not a lie.

The light that flowed from Rita's eyes has begun to shrink and flow continuously.

Every time it condensed, it was accompanied by a harsh noise, like a craftsman polishing a weapon.

But even so, it sounded more like a wail than the sound of steel rubbing against each other.

If a person is stripped of flesh and blood and his bones rub against each other, perhaps he will make such a scream.

I don't know if it's an illusion or reality. The bright moon hanging high in the sky has also been stained with a layer of haze, becoming more agile and profound.

——Like a living eyeball.

The light cast by this Moon Eye was the phantom light that had covered Rita's true body before.

Under the light, Rita, who was left with only a head, returned to her uninjured state in an instant.

Unlike the recovery ability brought by the immortality before, this strange performance without even a process looked like time was flowing backwards.

In a few seconds, the original green of this quiet Lost Forest was replaced by bright red.

Whether it was trees or animals, whether alive or dead, they were covered with gorgeous vampire roses.

Whenever there was a breeze, the whistling rose canopy would blow in the sweet fragrance.

"Fu!"

Looking at the rain of petals and the illusion that seemed real and fake in front of her, Fu Fu made an unhappy cry, perhaps because she thought of an old friend.

After understanding the current situation, it did not continue to attack in vain, but jumped to the feet of Altluchi.

"As I expected, it's the principle blood ring related to the magic eye..."

Alterluqi muttered to herself.

The principle of each dead apostle is unique and is not limited to simple objects or concepts. Even complex phenomena can become principles.

The natural mystery of the magic eye is of course within the scope.

From the scene after the surrounding laws were rewritten, Rita's principle blood ring obviously interpreted its own truth in a way of magic eye.

This also explains why Rita, as an ancestor, personally served as the train manager.

Collecting precious magic eyes and analyzing their structure and vision is probably a necessary step for her to study the truth.

"No wonder that future vision can come up with a prophecy about the rainbow-level magic eye. Although it is a bit tricky, it is really impossible to deny the authenticity of this matter."

Roland shook his head and chuckled.

Originally, he was still a little confused. Logically speaking, with the mystery of the current era, it is impossible to give birth to the power of the rainbow-level magic eye.

Although the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception are often regarded as Rainbow-level Mystic Eyes, this is actually a widespread misunderstanding.

Whether it is Ryougi Shiki or Tohno Shiki, their Mystic Eyes are only at the level of the natural Mystic Eyes of Noble Color according to the classification of the Magic Association.

Because their eyes are essentially pure eyes awakened from the bloodline of the Four Exorcists.

The ability brought by this pair of Mystic Eyes is just to see objects that should not exist. The effect of being able to observe death is the superpower awakened by the two through experiencing death based on these eyes.

After the two are mixed, the effect similar to the Rainbow-level Mystic Eyes is achieved.

Otherwise, just talking about the Mystic Eyes, even if the experience of the two is reproduced, what is obtained is only the Mystic Eyes of Life that can see the line of life like Altuluqi.

The power contained in the real Rainbow-level Mystic Eyes is almost the same as the power of God.

From the performance point of view, the effect of the Rainbow-level Mystic Eyes of Death Perception should be like in the myth, just looking at it can bring death, and there is no need to cut any death line at all.

In Roland's impression, the only people who are clearly recognized as having rainbow-level magic eyes are Barol and Zhu Yue, the King of the Moon.

Although Rita's magic eyes cannot be called true rainbow-level magic eyes, she took advantage of the fact that the nature of the Principle Blood Ring can be regarded as the prototype of power.

If Ryougi Shiki's rainbow-level assessment is because she took an unconventional approach and directly achieved the highest level of future vision that can look directly at death, then Rita did the opposite.

She did not pursue the ultimate in ability, but used the complementary relationship between the Principle Blood Ring and the magic eyes to continuously expand the scale.

It can be seen from the changes in the surrounding laws that Rita's magic eyes and ordinary magic eyes are obviously not on the same level.

It's like fireworks and missiles. Just comparing them together seems so stupid.

This huge amount of information has greatly exceeded the scope of common sense understanding, and the information collected by Future Vision will naturally be classified as a rainbow-level magic eye.

"Hmph, even if it's just a trick, it's still heavy enough for this world. Ultimately, this is not a problem that can be solved by strategy or motivation."

In Rita's crimson eyes, the emotional part had completely disappeared.

Regardless of the negative emotions such as panic and anger due to unexpected enemies, or the joy and excitement because the thing of dreams is right in front of you, there is no trace of it.

Instead, there are eyeballs that are pure in color, too delicate to look like living things, and glowing like gems.

In the center of the pupil, the magic circle rotates like a kaleidoscope, meshing and rotating like gears.

Even someone as strong as Eltrucci felt inexplicably trembling when being stared at by these eyes.

Rather than the chills on your back when being stared at by a predator, this is more like the feeling of wearing roller shoes while speeding on an uneven road.

It's as if the whole world is rejecting him, his spirit and body seem to be delayed, and he will lose his balance the next moment and fall to pieces.

Even she, who also had a rational blood ring that invalidated many of the effects of the magic eye, had this kind of performance.

For an ordinary magician, it would not be surprising even if his soul is shined into Rita's magic eyes and becomes his slave.

It seems...the other party's previous idea of ​​capturing the saint was really not a temporary delusion.

"How about it, Sir Ji Jun, do you understand now? Regardless of combat power, I am confident that I will not lose to any ancestor because of the mystery of the principle."

Seeing Eltruqi subconsciously narrowing her eyes, Lita showed a scary smile again, and the corners of her mouth turned up again.

However, this smile did not last long.

When Rita turned her gaze to Roland and saw the calm expression on his face, she froze unconsciously.

Even Black Princess had become cautious, but the saint of the church acted as if nothing had happened, and even looked at her openly.

Compared with the appearance of a sure victory, this posture as if everything was under control made her feel even more angry.

"Are you still looking down on me now? That's fine..."

Rita took a deep breath, and her angry and anxious voice spread to all directions like a celestial phenomenon.

"It's decided - even if I have to pay a huge price to cause you even a little injury, I will do it!"

"From one finger, to two fingers, from one arm, to the whole body. No matter how much time it takes, how many times it needs to be repeated!"

"Even if I can't get you today, Roland, I want you to completely engrave my figure in your memory!"

Like a beast that has found its prey, Rita stuck out her tongue and licked it around her lips.

"Whether it's a heroic spirit, an ancestor of the Dead Apostles, or even a magic user, it's impossible to resist the power of these eyes."

"So, you absolutely can't escape this technique!"

The girl covered her cheek with her left hand, the corner of her mouth opened in a ferocious arc, and the magic eyes exposed between her fingers were brightly red.

"——Immerse yourself in the illusion of the Rose's Magic Eye!" (End of this chapter)
