Chapter 78 The Loop of Fate

This is really an incomprehensible scene.

Salvatore only felt that his mind was blank, and he couldn't even be sure whether he was in a nightmare for a while.

... Otherwise, how could the scene in front of me be so weird?

Hugo just died in front of his eyes, and even his ashes were refined into a diamond ring by himself.

Holding on to the inexplicable sense of grievance when the elder left, he made up his mind to bear Hugo's guilt, vowed to practice Hugo's path, and even couldn't help crying in front of Annan.

In the end, it was Salvatore's remaining rationality that told him...Annan should be the one he protected. As an adult in his thirties, he shouldn't worry Annan, who is less than half his age.

So Salvatore finally became stronger.

It was at that moment that he realized that he had finally grown up. In other words, he should finally grow up.

Until then, he finally shouldered the "responsibility" that cannot be ignored, cannot be shirked, and cannot be escaped.

——and he wiped away his tears, and when he turned around, he found that Hugo had come to life again.

"...Is this what you guys negotiated?"

Salvatore was silent for a long time, complaining angrily: "Is this to see me laugh? Do you want to see me cry? What kind of prank is this... Did you record it?"

"I actually recorded it."

Annan said seriously.

"Go to hell! You don't have any share of what I prepared for you! I won't give it to you even if I sell it!"

Salvatore squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, and growled weakly with a headache on his face: "I was really sad just now! Don't lie to my feelings, I really believed it and really cried, You bastard!"

"—Huh? What stupid things are you talking about?"

And "Vatore", who has turned into a posture similar to that of a human, reached out his hand unceremoniously and grabbed Salvatore's right cheek, pulling it outward forcefully: "This is not you!" Are you stupid, you idiot? How can you blame other people for being smart when you are so stupid?

"Use your brains—you are about to become the master of the tower, so don't give me willful complaints here! Since I have become like this, it means that the ceremony has indeed been successful."

As a shadow, "Vatore" has faded away from the shadow, lost the shell of a demon, and has the posture of a girl.

The biggest difference is that her hands have become human hands instead of demon claws. As well as the horniness on her body, they have all turned into delicate skin... although the color of the skin is closer to off-white, and it looks a bit like a stone statue.

And her hair also turned into a tentacle-like structure made up of shadows. It even reminded Annan of the things under Cafney's skirt...

Except for a few traces of demons, she is almost indistinguishable from the naked girl. It's just that there is only fat in the chest without bulges, a smooth abdomen without a navel, and ears with only cochleas but no ear canals.

Rather than a human or a demon, it is more like some kind of magical statue that "imitates the human form".

Or, a bit like a sin-eating spirit...

If it can pass the review, there should be a picture here.jpg

In terms of Annan's aesthetics, senior sister Valtore has obviously become more beautiful.

But obviously, Senior Sister Valtore is not very satisfied with her new form.

Because she looks neither strong nor overbearing now. Compared to "a monster parasitic on Salvatore's body", it is more like "some kind of summoned object of Salvatore"...

"As soon as I entered the door, I realized that this was a ritual field, but you just stood there stupidly? Where did your vigilance go? If you say that you can feel at ease after entering the Zedi Black Tower, the lesson of Chengling Monk No more? You are not even the master of the tower, why do you have such strong self-confidence? Ah?

"This time, the teacher used the secret of creation to perform the ceremony. What if it was used to burn you? What can you do to withstand this attack? The teacher didn't use any high-speed spell skills, so he finished the recitation in a bland manner." You didn't understand the whole sentence, you deserved to be killed!

"You're still complaining about Annan here, can't you tell that the teacher was resurrected by Annan? This was obviously not in the original plan... Why are you so stupid, why don't you thank him, idiot!"

Senior sister Valtore complained in bits and pieces.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, so she patted the back of Salvatore's head hard, making a crisp sound like patting a watermelon. It seemed that because it felt so good in the hand, she couldn't help patting it several times in a row.

But compared to the aggression and threat of the demon form before, this looks more like flirting, without majesty at all...

So the senior sister became even more angry.

"Stop hitting, stop hitting..."

Salvatore became aggrieved: "Obviously I was cheated, why am I being beaten..."

Looking at Salvatore, who was squatting pitifully with his head in his arms, Hugo sighed: "I'm not trying to lie to you, I did die once just now..."

"To be precise...he is dead, but not completely dead."

Annan added with a smile: "As I said before, I got the resurrection ability."

"...I underestimated you, Your Majesty Annan."

Hugo exhaled, and closed his eyes with a complicated expression: "I never thought that even my own soul has been completely burned...you can still save me."

"All of this is determined by fate, Your Excellency Hugo."

The smile on Annan's face shrank slightly, and he looked at Hugo: "Do you still remember, whose nightmare made me advance?"

Hugo was taken aback.

He suddenly realized: "It turns out that..."

A long, long time ago, the reason why he saved Bernardino from being chased by the Tower of Black Glory... was because at that time, Hugo felt that his life should not be spent in such a muddle.

He has a remarkable talent and can be a healer like no other in the world. Because of that experiment, Bernardino possessed a talent that ordinary humans would not naturally have—not the perception of the soul, but the ability to directly contact spirit bodies with vision.

Just like transforming a wizard, it is impossible to transform a spirit body.

High-level transcendents can perceive spirit bodies lower than their own rank... But even if the person staying there is not a spirit body but a living person, they can also perceive it.

But the talent that Bernardino has is that he can directly see the vision of the golden-rank spirit body when he is at the bronze-rank.

Although his body still stays in the material world, he is actually a part of the spiritual body.

This is something that all Soul Reapers cannot do - they try their best, but they can only keep approaching in this direction. But for Bernardino, this new talent at the expense of his vision has been passively in effect.

As Isaac said.

When the "White-robed Girl" advances to the golden level, they will also have the ability to resurrect.

Even if there are no corpses... when the corpses are crushed into mud and burned into ashes, they can directly regenerate them. Of course, this kind of resurrection still cannot repair the soul.

But as long as the white-robed woman exists on the field and expands her domain, when everyone dies, their souls will automatically enter her domain and be stored by her.

She can resurrect anyone she wants to a designated location beside her. It is also possible to take away the dead and wait for the resurrection in a safe place - in addition to resurrecting friendly troops, you can also use this method to capture the soul of the enemy and counter the opponent's resurrection method.

However, even if it is a "loving mother", the resurrection must have a complete soul.

The spells of the Idol School and the Shaping School cannot affect the soul; only the spells of the Soul Seizing School can take effect on the soul. And if Bernardino becomes a gold-rank healer, because of his special vision and his resurrection ability are effective for souls.

This is why Hugo was optimistic about him at first.

...Although in the end, Bernardino did not take this path, and even degenerated into an unforgivable sinner.

But Annan obtained the same ability from his nightmare...

After going in a big circle, he finally returned to the original place.

Hugo felt an irony of fate.
