Chapter 58 Nightmare: It's Fragile and Easy to Pan, Pass the Level!

Annan froze in place in a daze.

When he was amazed by Hugo's brilliance and finally understood Bernardino... The rest of Bernardino's life was squeezed into Annan's brain like a slideshow.

That's not because Bernardino still has some wit left.

It is Annan's fully awakened light element, dispelling the hidden shadows and digging out the hidden truth.

Like watching a long movie, Annan finally understood everything——

Let everything come to an end.

It was Bernardino's jealous heart.

Hugo's bright and flawless ideal heart can truly achieve the noble act of "loving everyone", making him the heir of Zedi Black Tower as a matter of course.

Bernardino also became Hugo's follower.

Hugo, who was still the son of the tower, was far more mature than Salvatore.

Through powerful diplomatic means, he withstood the pressure from the Tower of Black Glory. By transferring part of the benefits and promising to take good care of Bernardino, in exchange for the removal of the wanted Bernardino from the Tower of Black Glory.

It would be nice if Hugo asked him for anything.

He can show his loyalty to Hugo.

In that case, he will turn into a loyal magic dog and bite all Hugo's enemies.

But Hugo asked for nothing in return.

He comes from the heart and is happy because he helps others.

... Just staying by Hugo's side will make Bernardino feel inferior and jealous.

There is jealousy and hatred in his heart. He was jealous of Hugo, who was as dazzling as the sun, and hated those who prevented him from having the sun alone...other people who asked Hugo for help.

But Bernardino couldn't order Hugo to refuse to help others.

So when he was at the silver level, he voluntarily gave up the ability to revive others at will, which may be the only one in this world. Therefore, he was recognized by the bell ringer and became his pope.

Got the resources and pointers from the Bell Ringer,

He walked into the other side of the "element of soul", chose to play with and manipulate the souls of the dead at will, and became the last spiritual monk in this world.

This made Hugo a little disappointed in him.

But Hugo still didn't interfere with his decision - he agreed with Bernardino's idea and allowed him to leave the Black Tower of the Zedi.

During this period of time, Bernardino has been in a state of no affiliation.

He digs graves and robs graves in various countries, and his reputation is not very good. Logically speaking, this kind of gold-rank dark wizard without affiliation should have been besieged long ago... But generally speaking, Bernardino is still regarded as a member of Hugo's side by the outside world, and Hugo has nothing to do with it. deny.

Bernardino's rationality told him it was wrong.

—but he just wanted more.

He has no mentors or classmates, no relatives or family -- because they are all dead. And he didn't have any students, because Bernardino had already met Hugo's student Salvatore, so he didn't like them.

Besides Hugo, he didn't have a single friend either. His aging body, ugly and shriveled body, and his selfishness that never considered others also made him have no lover.

Bernardino realized more and more that an ugly thing like himself was not worthy of staying by Hugo's side after all.

But he still longs for approval, for companionship.

——So wherever he went, countless dead souls surrounded him. He is like the king of these dead souls.

Like an old man muttering to a marionette.

He lives in a dry world with only the sun and himself.

Even so, Bernardino still regards Hugo as his only friend in this world.

Finally, he realizes that his time is numbered, but Hugo can still be the master of the tower...accepting the power of Zedi Black Tower and staying young forever.

—He couldn't accept it.

If he had to die one day, then Bernardino hoped that Hugo could die with him.

Naturally, this is not the right idea... Hugo is Bernardino's only friend, but Hugo has more friends, students, teachers and other people to take care of.

"So, this is why Bernardino was able to return to the Black Tower of Zedi..."

Annan murmured.

He still remembered that when he met Bernardino for the first time, he appeared majestically in the Black Tower of Zedi.

At that time, he probably came to urge Hugo to die as the "Pope of the Bell Ringer".

Hugo's lifespan has long been exhausted, and he can continue to live only by relying on the holy fire. But the spiritual monk went to the Black Tower of Zedi not to fulfill his duty as the Pope... He just hoped that he would not be alone when he died.

And Hugo turned him down.

He didn't want to die just yet—but he didn't kick out the spirit monk who was impolite to ask "when are you going to die?"

He thought, if Cheng Lingseng could have a student, it would probably be much better.

Although Cheng Lingseng's reputation is not very good, he is Hugo's friend after all.

So Hugo didn't stop him, let alone attack him. Instead, he was allowed to enter the Zedi Black Tower, and he was allowed to dig out his own students and mentors as disciples and heirs...

At that time, although Hugo had grown a lot, he had also been changed a lot by life.

But the only thing that remains unchanged is that bright heart. He still trusted his old friend from the bottom of his heart—Bernardino, who was dug out of the mud and saved from the abyss by himself.

He believed that Bernardino was not born a villain, nor did he have the incentive to be one.

...If Bernardino hadn't obtained the formula for the Philosopher's Stone, he would probably indeed choose to end his life quietly after finding an heir who could barely inherit his mantle.

He is indeed a villain, with greed, anger, jealousy, and hatred in his heart that will never subside. But as long as he never realizes the evil thoughts in his heart, he will be just a "weird person" until his death.

But Nicholas II finally told him the formula of the Philosopher's Stone.

This means that he has the strength to defeat Hugo—and the possibility of reversing his own destiny!

In the end, Bernardino came back to kill Hugo, and burned down the Zedi Black Tower that raised him and gave him a second life... in order to make up for the failed ultimate ceremony in the past.

If we say that the first person who tried to save Bernardino and gave him a bright future was Father Ludwig.

Then the second person who saved him was Tower Master Hugo.

Father Ludwig was killed by himself... Bernardino must have guessed this secret that was hidden twice and discovered twice.

If you want to say a specific time.

That should be when Denton, the dream stealer, tried to invade Bernardino's dream.

It was also at that time that Bernardino realized the violation of his memory. He tried a way to release his dusty memory, and got a glimpse of the complete form of the "Masterpiece Ritual".

At that time, Bernardino realized that if he wanted to complete the Ascension Ceremony, he had to return to the Black Tower of the Marsh, kill Hugo and win the Holy Flame.

This process does not actually require a flame.

But as long as Hugo offers the holy fire, his life will end.

If Hugo can voluntarily die for him, then it is indeed the best case scenario.

But obviously, he was not that important to Hugo.

Therefore, Hugo can only be consumed and burned to death.

His current life can be said to be given to him by Hugo. If he can kill Hugo like Father Ludwig, then the "work of art" that Father Ludwig hoped to create with his own death will officially reappear in the world!

——And because of the two big circles in the middle, but because of fate, it returned to the original origin... This is even more perfect than it was then!

As for the reason why he tried to usurp the torch, Annan already understood.

Fire is transferable.

So is the fire of adoration, and so is the fire of envy.

After Bernardino got the flame, he should have polluted it with the jealousy he inherited from Julius. To make [a fire that is not kindled for oneself], twist and pollute it into an ever-ending fire of jealousy that burns out everything... This is the [work of creation] that he planned for himself.

"……I see."

Annan murmured.

Although Danton, the dream stealer, gave up his duty as a mirror, his existence made another mirror appear.

Nicholas II, on the other hand, provided the "fuel".

The "coincidence" formed among the many "mirrors" surrounding Annan not only made Annan gradually stronger, brilliant and dazzling.

There is also a connection between mirrors!

——It was at that time that all these things were finally connected!

Annan couldn't help taking a breath.

He suddenly woke up from the hallucination, and the outside world seemed to have passed only for a moment.

And the side mission of this nightmare was crossed out and rewritten by dim, black handwriting without knowing when.

"Don't regret it" became "Repent for the crime";

[Wake up soon] became [Apologize to Hugo];

【Live】 became 【End this meaningless life】.

The first two tasks are not completed, and the third task is marked with a "Completed".

And the [Main Mission: Play as Bernardino] on the side mission also changed into a new word under a squirm.

——【Main task: Become a good person like Hugo】

And on the back of it, the word "Completed" has been marked.

This is... Bernardino, the real desire hidden in his heart.

But it was not Bernardino who completed it, but Annan who came to purify this nightmare.

Annan felt that his consciousness was gradually becoming thinner, and this nightmare was gradually disintegrating.

He took a deep breath and murmured: "It's not difficult, it's better to say...

"—that's why I'm here."

Annan's confident whispering voice seemed to closely overlap with the voice of the young boy Hugo before.

At that moment, it seemed that the speed of the collapse of the world had stagnated.

Just to let Anando exist in this world for a second.

However, that was just meaningless stagnation—in the blink of an eye, the nightmare finally collapsed and ceased to exist.

Fire has its inheritance, and the sun also has its inheritance.

The old sun is at dusk...

The new sun will also be equally bright—proud and dazzling.
