The brand constantly exudes an aura that disgusts Serena. It is a mixture of evil thoughts filled with rot and blood that clings to the warrior's body like maggots on the tarsal bones, but for the demons in the abyss It is the most wonderful food. Serena believes that a person branded with this mark is as dazzling to the devil as a torch thrown in the dark, and will attract the devil to try to devour his flesh and blood at all costs.
The function of this brand is indeed a curse and a sacrifice. It is obvious that this warrior did not lie, he was indeed a victim of the devil's curse.
"This magic circle┉┉Who helped you carve the magic circle around your neck?"
When Selina used divine magic to detect, she found that Gus's brand was carved with a strange magic circle in Shanghai, which seemed to be a magic circle used to suppress the brand. However, the unique structure of this magic circle gave Selina Something looks familiar.
"A magician carved it for me before, saying it could weaken the curse of the brand." Gus was careful not to say anything he shouldn't have said.
"A human magician?"
"Yes, what's the problem?"
Gus lowered his head and his eyes became serious. This magic circle was carved by an elf mage, but Lord Yalin specifically told it to be kept secret.
Serena did not continue to ask questions and seemed to believe this statement for the time being: "I can try to use magic to help you remove the brand, are you willing?"
"I'm afraid not. This brand is said to be very powerful and cannot be removed by conventional methods."
In the original work "Branded Warrior", the sacrificial brand of the Hand of God is a powerful curse that includes the rules of the law of cause and effect. Until now, the original work has not given a way to eliminate the brand. However, with the help of the omnipotent summoning system, Gus can easily remove the brand, but of course it will cost a considerable amount of soul energy. When Guts was first summoned, Yalin offered to help Gus eliminate the brand, but Guts decisively refused. Although losing the brand can liberate him from this world full of darkness and blood, on the border between life and death, But he will also lose the last link with the Hand of God and the apostles. He will personally cut off the heads of these monsters and monsters and understand them before eliminating the mark.
However, the encounter in Bellica Town made Gus feel that having this brand is a good thing. If it weren't for the brand's keen perception of demons and undead, he might not have been able to discover those necromancers. It is actually quite useful to use the brand as a detector specifically for demons and undead. At least those ghosts can no longer deceive themselves with illusions.
"You are very sensitive to the smell of demons and undead. Therefore, you want to leave the brand to catch the demons who have branded you?" When hearing this answer, Serena shook her head silently: "This It’s too dangerous. You must know that as long as this mark is on your body, demons and undead will crazily want to devour your flesh and blood, and you can only live in endless pain and torture.”
Gus smiled and looked indifferent: "I'm used to it, Lord Priest! I don't know how many monsters I have killed these days. After I kill those demons who love to show off, I will Let me ask you to remove the mark."
Serena was a little surprised by Gus's strong attitude. After being branded with this brand, she would be trapped deep in a terrible world, forever entangled by demons and undead, and it would be impossible to get any rest at night. Even after death, even the soul cannot rest in peace because of the brand! Looking at the scars on Gus's arms, the chief priest of the goddess could imagine that the man in front of him had been crawling in blood and death for who knows how long. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been driven crazy by such dark days. . But he still maintained his mental clarity and struggled to support his scarred body and continue to move forward.
When she thought of this, a hint of praise flashed in Serena's eyes, and at the same time she felt an extra pity! It's just that the chief priest is still a little worried, because in addition to the strong will that has supported the man in front of him to this day, there is also the hatred and anger that seems to never go out. This strong hatred and anger will become the support The source of strength for him to fight will also become the fatal poison that destroys him. And when his life ends, it will probably be the time when the Lord of Hatred in the abyss will rejoice!
Serena finally checked the brand very carefully with magic, and finally the priestess slowly said: "The curse of the brand is indeed very powerful. This is a curse imposed by the life of the person who has cast the spell as a medium. Maybe It takes a long time to slowly remove the power of the curse, but usually the easiest way to break this curse is to kill the person who cast the curse┉┉"
Curses are not used to kill people, but to make life worse than death!
Spells are usually slow-acting spells that cause the person being cast to suffer pain day and night. When a spell is cast, the caster generally writes something in order to continue torturing the other person and prevent the spell from being lifted. Complex magic circles and spells increase the difficulty of unlocking it. To use an analogy, it is like setting a password on a safe. The more complex the password, the harder it is for the other party to open it. But in addition to this method, there is another method, which is to turn one's own life into the password of the spell, leaving the cursed person completely helpless. This method can be said to be the most vicious method, and it is also the most vicious method for the spell caster. The most dangerous method!
After the first method is used to impose a curse, once the curse is broken, the person who was cursed will probably not be able to pursue the curse after a period of time. The danger of the second method is that in order to break the curse, the other party must kill the person who cast the curse. Once this method of spell is used, it will be a life-or-death situation for both parties!
"Haha~ If you kill the other party, will the brand be eliminated? Very good! It seems that I won't have to bother you, Ms. Priest, then." Gus laughed after hearing Serena's explanation.
"You know clearly that the path in front of you is a path leading to blood and death, but you still want to go on?"
"Thank you for your kindness, but if I didn't kill those bastards, I would probably feel uncomfortable all over my body."
Serena sighed: "Miss Miria who is with you, does she also have the aura of the abyss in her body and is she a victim of the brand?"
Before Gus could speak, Desier answered first: "Yes! So we have been traveling to find those demons."
In the city of Ulduar, Didier knew that Miriya had demon flesh and blood in her body. It was obvious that Miriya, who was in a semi-demon state, had also fallen into the temple's suspicion list. Although he did not know the temple's treatment of demons and demons. Are the definitions the same? But it is also a good thing to take today's opportunity to mislead the temple priests to eliminate doubts about Miriam.
Serena nodded and then said to Gus: "Since you are unwilling to eliminate this brand, then please let me help you improve the suppression of the power of the brand by this magic circle. Take it as my apology for doubting everyone today. ”
"Actually, there's no need. This magic circle is pretty good. At least no dead souls can attach themselves to me." Gus was instead afraid that Serena would do anything to the brand.
"Don't worry, I won't touch the main body of the magic circle. I just use magic to strengthen the magic circle again, which is equivalent to instilling more power into this magic circle!"
Unable to withstand the 'enthusiasm' of the chief priest, Gus reluctantly agreed. Serena very gently poured the magic into the magic circle. Gus gradually felt a slight coldness on his neck, and the brand instantly appeared. There was a stinging sensation, but soon the stinging sensation gradually faded away, almost to the point where it could be ignored.
At this moment, Dieter focused his attention on Serena, or to be more precise, the cloak behind Serena. The unassuming cloak was like some kind of guiding device. , is continuously gathering the surrounding water elements to Serena's body. It can be said that by wearing this cloak, the chief priest Serena can continuously mobilize the water elements to perform various so-called magical spells, and it is To the extent that it is inexhaustible.
"Okay!" After finishing, Serena took a step back and asked, "How do you feel?"
"Not bad! It seems that there is no pain at all!" Gus touched his neck. It seemed that the chief priest really helped him sincerely.
"I would like to apologize again for misunderstanding you. Well, I don't know your names yet! Can you tell me?" Although she is the chief priest of the gods, Serena did not apologize sincerely. This attitude is quite different. It also made Dieter, Kenjiro and others have a good impression of her.
After introducing themselves respectively, Serena nodded and said: "Mr. Gus, if one day you and Miss Miria hope to eliminate the brand, you are welcome to go to the Holy City at any time, if you find information about those demons , please be sure to inform the Holy City that it is the duty of the five supreme gods to defeat demons, and the Holy City is willing to provide you with the help it can."
Generally speaking, except for the two naughty kids who were anxious and had returned to the mansion and were ready to be punished, although this contact with the temple was a bit conflicting at the beginning, it ended well with each other in the end. Miliya, who only met with the royal family in the palace, brought back some not-so-good news. Regarding the mineral mining rights of the Kingdom of Saxony, the royal family was happy to exchange the mining rights for some assistance, but some uninformed old people The faction nobles became an obstacle.
And behind these old faction nobles there are undoubtedly the shadows of the big businessmen in the free cities. r1152
