Chapter 52 Devouring Mark
That night, Ye Cheng had a dream.

The protagonist of the dream is a little boy named 'Zar', who looks about eight or nine years old.

Zall?Isn't that the name of the red-robed bishop?

Zar was born in the small town of Gorozan, and lived a carefree, leisurely and comfortable childhood until he was eight years old.

It wasn't until his eighth birthday that he awakened his magical powers.

But magicians are regarded as wizards in the small town of Gorozan, and the little boy Zal conceals this power and dare not reveal it to outsiders.

But as the magic power gradually increased, Zall began to have difficulty controlling this power freely.

Finally one day, Zall's magical power was completely exposed in front of his parents.

Zal's parents looked terrified, but they reassured Zal at the time and told Zal to go to bed first.

Seeing his parents gently comforting him, Zaar couldn't help but feel warm, and his anxiety gradually subsided.

But absolutely, never, Zall shouldn't have heard what his parents had to say next.

Zal's parents naturally did not expect that after Zal's magic power awakened, his five senses were also enhanced to a level far beyond ordinary people.

So they didn't expect that the whispered conversation between the two of them hiding under the quilt would be heard clearly by Zal in the next room.

"I said earlier that this child is unknown, and you insisted on bringing him back..."

"That's something that can't be helped. At that time, who knew that he was a witch, so he can't be old and no one will take care of him, right?"

"It's not because you can't do that stuff!"

"Why are you talking about this now? Does it make sense? Wizards are cunning and dark. Now we should worry about our own lives!"

"Then what should we do? Or..."

Zal's father was silent for a while, and said harshly, "We'll go to church tomorrow morning! Before that, don't provoke that witch, don't..."

Zall's eyes were absent-minded, and it took him a while to be filled with painful emotions, and tears kept falling from the corners of his eyes.

The two lines of tears gradually became filthy, and turned into gray-brown tears in a short while. Zal's eyes were also full of gray-brown, so weird that they didn't look like human eyes.

Zall's expression suddenly seemed to be a different person. He was posing in a strange posture, and a cloud of black mist suddenly gushed out of him.

The black mist spread out from the crack in the door of Zal's room, and quickly rushed to Zal's parents' room.

Zal's parents, who were covered in the quilt, didn't know about it until the black mist surged up and engulfed them both.

The eyeballs of Zal's parents suddenly bulged, their faces were full of pain and cruelty, their lips kept opening and closing, but they couldn't even utter a scream.

Zal's parents are dead.

When the black mist returned to Zaar's body, it had become as deep as ink.

It was only then that Zall seemed to have regained his senses, and his face returned to normal.

Zaar stared at his hands as if he couldn't believe it. After a long time, he showed a ruthless expression on his face.

He found the rat poison at home and pretended that his parents died after eating rat poison by mistake.

The next day, Zall's parents were determined to have been poisoned to death by rat poison. The mayor later repeatedly emphasized the strengthening of rat poison supervision.

Zal was sent to the orphanage, and the head of the orphanage was a core believer. Zal worked hard to get closer to the head of the orphanage, and finally took his place after the death of the head of the orphanage.

Later, Zall climbed higher and higher in the church until he reached the position of a cardinal, only under the pope.

He has frantically tried and sentenced wizards and heretics all these years, not only to accumulate credit in the church, but also because his magical power is an unheard of devouring ability.

At first Zall could devour the vitality of ordinary people to strengthen himself, but later ordinary people could no longer bring him any improvement, so he turned his attention to other magicians.

With the palm of his left hand burning, Ye Cheng suddenly woke up from his sleep, the gray light on his chest was flickering strangely.

"No wonder Zall showed me a hungry look..."

The dream was so real, Ye Cheng was already dripping with sweat, and the gray light on his chest was still emitting a hazy light.

"Is this the curse power that Zaal cast on me at the end?"

The gray light didn't cause any harm to Ye Cheng for the time being, but Ye Cheng was quite worried, who knows when the curse will break out and what kind of consequences it will cause.

Ye Cheng frowned deeply, at this moment, he suddenly felt a slight heat in the palm of his left hand.

Ye Cheng raised his palm, and the burning sensation became deeper and deeper, and the imprint of the holy fire transformed by Xiaoxi in his palm became brighter and clearer.

The mark of the holy fire seemed to come alive, and a pure flame emerged from the mark of the holy fire.

The gray light on Ye Cheng's chest suddenly became brighter, and a gray ghost-like skull also sprang out.

For some reason, Ye Cheng felt that this skull was transformed from Zall's soul.

The holy fire and the skeleton collided instantly, the holy fire burned the gray light skeleton, and the skeleton was also eroding and penetrating into the holy fire.

The red light and the gray light refused to give in to each other, but Ye Cheng could tell that the holy flame was gradually receding.

Ye Cheng's magic power surged, and the surrounding fire elements gathered frantically, pouring into the holy fire continuously.

With the help of Ye Cheng, the holy fire constantly replenished its own strength, and moreover, the fire element continued to flow in.

Xiaoxi's strength is naturally no match for Zall, but adding Ye Cheng is different, and Zall's gray light skeleton is retreating steadily.

Seeing that the skull was about to be defeated, suddenly a wisp of smoke rose from the skull, and a little human-like soul burst out of the smoke.

"Want to run?"

The villain-like soul is exactly what Zall looks like!
Ye Cheng reacted quickly, his eyes were quick and his hands were quick, a fire ring suddenly expanded from Ye Cheng's body.

The ring of fire expanded extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, the fiery ring of fire caught up to Zaal's soul. The soul screamed again and again, unable to withstand the burning of the ring of fire, and exploded in the air like a balloon, making a slight noise.

The skull also shattered and dissipated, and the gray light cluster on Ye Cheng's chest flickered twice and disappeared.

A faintly invisible ray of black light traveled through Ye Cheng's meridians, and finally stayed in the palm of Ye Cheng's right hand, forming a black mark.

The holy fire mark has returned to the palm of the left hand.

Ye Cheng spread out his palms, the left palm is a red mark, and the right palm is a newly formed black mark.

[The mark of devouring, transformed by Zall's original power, can devour the opponent's magic power in battle, so as to weaken the enemy and strengthen himself.If the enemy has no mana, it will apply Weakness. 】

"Another mark!"

After a little thought, Ye Cheng figured out the connection.

Zall should have turned his original power into a curse mark and attached it to Ye Cheng before he died. It might be dormant on weekdays, but when Ye Cheng was weak, he would take advantage of it and loot it.

Zall's soul is hidden in the curse mark by some special means. Once there is a chance, Zall's soul will devour Ye Cheng's soul, thereby replacing Ye Cheng's control over the body, which is equivalent to rebirth.

But what Zall didn't expect was that Ye Cheng would go back to save Xiaoxi.

Not to mention, Xiaoxi felt the cursed breath in Ye Cheng's body, and she was willing to turn her body into a holy fire mark to protect Ye Cheng in this way.

Thanks to Xiaoxi, it was Xiaoxi who awakened Ye Cheng from his dream, and it was Xiaoxi who forced out Zall's curse mark, otherwise Ye Cheng would not have discovered Zall's curse at all.
