Riding and Slashing

Martis and her garrison troops had been guarding the underground base waiting for orders, and escaped the other Aziz Dahaka's 'Holy Light'.

The Aziz Dahaka she was in charge of was also well preserved and was not affected by the martyrdom.

She and her troops were originally survivors.

After all, Martis is the general of the garrison, and his management is extremely strict. In order to maintain the stability of Azi Dahaka, thousands of Noldo auxiliary soldiers in the army donated blood and created a large blood bank—this is really voluntary Those who contributed, originally thought that they would be able to revive after detonating Aziz Dahaka, but those who were still alive at the time of detonation would die...

After the magic storm was born, Maltis knew that Wengedarian Continent was probably doomed, and she had no other thoughts at that time, she just wanted to save herself.

However, the magical storm on Wengedarian continent lasted too long, and Maltis couldn't leave the underground base and return to the ground, and even if he went to the ground, he couldn't survive.

So Martis decided to die and survive.

The characteristic of Azi Dahaka is to make the living die and bring the dead back to life.

Martis decided to take advantage of this feature and formulate a plan to die first, that is, let her die before triggering Aziz Dahaka's Holy Light.

Since he didn't know when the magical storm sweeping across the continent would dissipate, Maltis couldn't directly activate Azdahaka and then commit suicide immediately, otherwise even if he was revived, he still wouldn't be able to survive.

Therefore, she left Aziz Dahaka's activation method behind, and then used powerful magic power to freeze herself and the troops in the underground base, and also froze the warehouse where Aziz Dahaka was stored.

She wants to delay the resurrection until after the magic storm dissipates.

Of course you will die after being frozen, but at least you can die decently, so that your body can be kept from damage to the maximum extent.

The magic storm may last for many years, but it will dissipate one day. As long as everything is frozen, after the magic storm dissipates, if Aziz Dahaka is detonated, she may come back to life.

Even if no one finds here, no one can trigger Aziz Dahaka, the blood stored in it will thaw out sooner or later, and when the blood evaporates, this unstable bomb will still detonate automatically.

In order to ensure that he can be resurrected, Martis also exhausted all his magic power and used the 'gathering technique' on himself before he died.

This is an undead spell banned by the Sindari elves. This spell can make people's souls linger after death, but it can't save their lives, and it will cause terrible necromorphosis—that is, becoming undead, becoming a walking dead.

However, it is just right to use it at this time, otherwise the soul will dissipate after a long time, and even Azdahaka will not be able to revive her.

In fact, Gathering the Spirit was originally intended to be used in conjunction with the 'Sacred Light Project', and it was only after the plan was confirmed that the Sindarin Empire released this forbidden technique for several generals in charge of implementing the plan to learn it.

Freeze the body, and then use the spirit gathering technique to maintain the soul, waiting for Azdahaka to resurrect himself.

This was originally a reliable plan.

But usually, no matter how reliable the solution is, there will always be some surprises.

The accident that Maltis encountered was that the magical storm on Wengedarian continent lasted for nearly a hundred years, and after the storm dissipated, the entire continent became an extremely cold ice sheet...

The freeze has never been able to thaw, and Azdahaka has been staying in the underground warehouse stably.

She frozen herself with Aziz Dahaka for 1000 years...

At that time, Martis was indeed dead.

Until 300 years ago, Kavala found this underground base.

His old body was frozen to death here, and then he took over the body of Aziz Dahaka - what Kavala said was basically the truth, the only one who could move at that time was Aziz Dahaka .

That is a puppet that maintains its ability to move with magic power, or a special undead that can move as soon as it is thawed.

Kavala also said that Martis 'didn't die', he came back to life after thawing, but his soul was 'damaged', and just after waking up, he turned all her subordinates into undead...

In fact, Martis didn't come alive by himself, nor was his soul disabled.

After all, Martis is an archmage, a Sindarui elf who is infinitely close to God, and is the best among the Sindarui elves, with extremely strong magic power.

Her soul has never dissipated under the influence of spirit gathering.

It's just that she is not a god after all, just like when Ulrik was in the temple, her soul does not have the ability to reoccupy the corpse, and she can no longer cast magic.

The magical power of the Sindari elves is in the body, and it is the blood full of magic that gives them the ability to cast spells, not by faith or god-given.

With just a soul, she couldn't do anything—she couldn't touch any entity.

Kavala reached an agreement with Maltis at that time.

Maltis, who had been in the underground base for thousands of years, sold his soul in order to be resurrected, and was rescued by Kavala at the cost of being controlled by Kavala.

To put it simply, Kavala took advantage of the danger, forced Maltis to sign a soul contract with him, forcibly controlled Maltis, and then taught her how to return to her own body.

Maltis actually just occupied his body with his own soul, this is not resurrection.

And Kavala's control over Maltis is actually the way the gods control their "chosen one".

The so-called soul contract, if it is under normal circumstances, that is to say, without coercion...

——In fact, it is faith.

The oath made by the soul is the most pious belief, because the spirit body cannot lie and deceive.

But using coercion to force Maltis to sign a soul contract is actually the practice of the abyssal demon, and it is also the most controlling method. Being able to completely control the soul can also forcibly control its body and behavior.

And the operation method of the gods is generally to deceive or induce...

But no matter what, Kavala exchanged a transaction for the control of Maltis, and did not take any coercive method. Maltis did it "voluntarily", which is also in line with the rules of the Creator God.

Kavala has since had his own 'Chosen One', and it must be the most powerful one in the entire world.

After all, Maltese can cast magic without any restrictions...

Kavala didn't occupy Martis' body - he used Aziz Dahaka's body, which was forbidden by magic, and he couldn't occupy it before he died.

But Maltis is indeed the body he prepared - he can completely control Maltis's soul, as long as he is not restricted by the forbidden magic, he can replace Maltis at any time, just like Egreme and his fallen like a ghost.

"So, all the chosen ones are not actually living people?"

Li Ang asked.

"No, most of them are indeed living people. But the two of us are exceptions - we both signed a soul contract with the gods, and then possessed our own corpses. God's contract can make people immortal, but it doesn't It is truly alive, because the soul does not belong to oneself."

Martis explained: "Life is awe-inspiring, and people who have a complete life cannot be controlled...Of course, when they cannot be directly controlled, gods will deceive them-although I have been controlled for 300 years, But I've also seen a lot of things..."

It turned out to be the case.

After the explosion of Azi Dahaka, the dead life was fully revived, and Kavala could no longer control Martis.

However, Maltis said he was the same as her?
"I don't think I have signed any soul contract..."

Li Ang didn't know why.

"You must have signed it, otherwise you will die... You can look back and think about it, since when did your life change?"

Maltis looked at Li Ang and said firmly.

When did life change?

From the time I came to Pendor Continent...

Is it!

The options at the beginning of the game suddenly appeared in Li Ang's mind, as well as the button—[Facing life directly, unable to save or exit! 】

He closed his eyes, trying to check his system that had no sense of existence...

The system disappears.

gone!
That half-hanging subsystem is gone!

It turned out to be so...

It really is cheating...

The original Leon Griffin was indeed dead, and he inadvertently signed a soul contract with the goddess, and then occupied Leon's body—this is indeed not a living person.

However, the soul contract may indeed exist, but has the goddess of order really controlled herself?
Thinking about it carefully, I don't seem to have it—or rather, I didn't feel it much.

It's just that this troubled life of mine was indeed caused by Eunomia...

Eunomia, shouldn't you explain?
Li Ang looked up at the sky, feeling very upset.

Thinking about it again, Eunomia has already been sentenced to life imprisonment, and Li Ang feels even more upset-there is no chance of revenge!
Let alone revenge, Eunomia may never be able to respond to herself again, Li Ang felt.

Li Ang sighed, his heart was very complicated, he couldn't tell whether it was regret or relief, or both.

He knew that he probably no longer carried the mission of God.

But it seems that many things that I have obtained have been lost. From now on, I must completely rely on myself...

Li Ang squeezed his fists, feeling his still weak body, but then he realized that it wasn't that his body was weak, but that the skill points that he had obtained that did not belong to him had been lost...

When the system disappears, the iron bones and strong attack levels raised through the system will also disappear...

Probably a few levels less.

That system is a benefit given by the Goddess to the 'God's Chosen', and now it no longer belongs to me.

What belongs to me is only those projects and actual combat experience that I have really practiced in Fog Cage City—but it is no longer reflected in proficiency, but in muscle memory and experience in my mind.

But it doesn't matter, Li Ang has already adapted to fighting with his brain instead of relying on strength and skills - anyway, even if there is a system, many opponents he faces are still invincible...

Moreover, there are more and more powerful things that I have retained...

The trust of the partners, the loyalty of the soldiers, the reputation established in the past few years, and the great reputation gained from the Southern and Northern Wars, these are the most valuable things.

Moreover, most of them are not obtained by their own personal force.

With my current status, plus there are Wendy, Lisa Dilan, and even Wenda Tier's level of bodyguards... It doesn't matter.

The only regret is that the perception gained from the void is gone.

That is a life-saving skill...

But now it seems that that should also be a special benefit given to her by the goddess of order.

However, is Wendy's blood still there?
Now that the heartbeat and pulse have returned to the level of ordinary people, is Wendy's blood gone?
This is really a pity...

"Li Ang... what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Seeing that Li Ang was in a daze, Wendy came up and grabbed Li Ang's arm.

"Haha... No, I just lost too much blood. Wendy, don't leave my side again, I need your protection."

Li Ang smiled and patted Wendy's hand.

Whether it's blood or not, the concern in Wendy's eyes is the most important thing.

"Maltis, what are you going to do now? I guess Kavala is unlikely to give up a 'God Chosen' like you."

Turning his head, Li Ang looked at Maltis.

"Hmph... It's impossible for me to let him go, this false god... He has been controlled for 300 years, I can't bear this tone!"

Maltese looked like he wanted revenge.

"Then... let's cooperate and let that lunatic who wants to be a god go where he should go?"

Li Ang stretched out his hand towards Martis.

Maltis didn't respond, but instead looked at Wendy: "What? Isn't it up to you to make the decision here? You're Xindary..."

"Leon is our leader, and everyone here listens to him. And... Maltis, I'm not Xindary."

Wendy smiled: "Besides, it's not Wengedarian here."

Maltis sighed: "You have strong magic power fluctuations on your body, stronger than mine. How could it not be Xindari? You just released magic..."

"I was..."

Wendy tried to defend herself, but Li Ang squeezed her hand and stopped her from speaking.

"Wendy mainly lacks a good teacher... Maltis, besides summoning the dead, what kind of magic do you know? Can you teach Wendy?"

Li Ang showed a humble smile to Martis - this smile was seen by many people, basically before Li Ang took out all the dinars in his pocket...

"Of course, she should be a powerful magician...but, Leon, I won't cooperate with humans..."

It seems that Maltis really doesn't like humans.

"Hey, if you don't cooperate, don't cooperate... But, Maltis, you are resurrected, so you have to eat, right? But do you have dinars? Could it be that...a Sindarin lord is going to be reduced to To rob? And still hungry to grab steamed buns? Tsk tsk tsk..."

Li Ang began to shake his head and snap his fingers: "Besides, you have no place to live, and no one under your command, and your horn viper vanguard doesn't seem to have regained its sanity—you don't need to look at my guards, although they are Noldor elves, but They only follow my orders..."

Maltis remained silent, she really didn't think so much.

"The most important thing is that Kavala will definitely look for you... You should know that he will not die, and there should be other Aziz Dahaka in his Snake Cult..."

Li Ang stretched out his hand again: "General Maltis, you need a job and an ally now. It just so happens that I can provide a job and also be an ally."

So what about Xindari, no matter how powerful a magician is, she may become a wage earner, who told her to be so poor...
