Volume 4: The Cataclysm Chapter 124: Past Events (Part 2)
In fact, from the overall perspective of the incident, Winter Assassin was really the one who got caught in the crossfire.
After Miss Yin Yue's death, he happened to be training in the Blood Wasteland. Due to some coincidences, he got the pair of daggers, the Grip of Cold Light.
The Cold Light Assassin gained great strength after obtaining the divine weapon, and after returning to Fenan, he almost soared to the sky.
It was at this time that he established the predecessor of the Assassin's League and began to show his most dazzling side on the stage of Fenan.
He killed gods, assassinated evil lords, and even started to build his own territory.
Even many powerful people who have the chance to become gods are very wary of him.
He himself was also on the road to becoming a god, and his competitor Glenos was far inferior to him in this respect.
However, for some special reasons, Vanya rarely takes the initiative to leave any traces in Fenan.
The task of retrieving the Grip of Cold Light was naturally handed over to the Witch King at that time.
This caused trouble.
Marvin already had an idea of what would happen next.
It was just that what he heard from the Winter Assassin was a version described from a different perspective - in short, when the two met, neither of them had good tempers, not to mention that the Witch King stated her intentions in an extremely domineering manner right from the start.
She demands that the Winter Assassin hand over the artifact.
When he was at the peak of his powers, how could the Winter Assassin pay any attention to this witch who suddenly showed up?
She asked for her own divine weapon. Who did she think she was? A great ancient god?
The two started fighting without saying a word.
Tragically, despite possessing extremely powerful strength, the Winter Assassin was still caught in the legendary strange curse when he faced it for the first time.
The Witch King used a magical technique to transform him into a whispering worm.
This is a special kind of life that will spend many years in a daze, and its lifespan is almost infinite.
After leaving some words, the Witch King left, and as promised, she handed the Grip of Cold Light to the Moon Goddess Vanya.
The poor Winter Assassin disappeared from the limelight as the number one Fenan Assassin.
This led to the Shadow Prince Glenos coming from behind and succeeding in the fight for the Shadow Slate, and eventually becoming a god.
[This person is the most unlucky person in the Third Epoch], Marvin thought.
He then added silently in his mind:
"Women are not reasonable creatures. I didn't expect witches to be even more exaggerated..."
…
In any case, the fallen witch of Anzedi and Vanya signed a contract to help each other.
They borrowed the most expensive night flower, and the witch king himself was seriously injured and died soon after.
But the power of Anzedi can never be underestimated.
The remaining witches activated the ancient forbidden technique and locked the spirit of the Witch King in the bloodline of a large mortal family.
It formed a curse that would occasionally manifest itself, but had no effect on most people.
This is the "Curse of the Witch of Anzedi" that people later talked about with fear.
In fact, in essence, this is a kind of inheritance of the spirit of the Witch King. In order to continue his knowledge and power, the witches have to do this as a last resort.
Time passed minute by minute, and finally the curse of the witch of Anze fell on Hathaway.
Although she showed the potential to become a legendary wizard from an early age, her mother was still worried .
She left when she was very young, following the footsteps of Anzedi, trying to find the few remaining witches and rescue her daughter.
What happened next is what Marvin experienced.
In order to save Marvin's life, Hathaway sealed herself in Black Coral Island. Under the flames of the Phoenix, she broke the shackles of time and recovered some of the memories of the Witch King. But because the power was too huge, she needed a longer time to absorb it. Her body was also transformed by a powerful witch spell, and she began to grow from a little girl to an adult again.
Every year she grows older, her strength is restored.
As for when the peak will be, even Hathaway herself probably doesn't know.
Her mother took her to Anze when she was at her weakest. After confirming that her strength was gradually recovering, she persuaded the other witches to give her the five-colored flower and the jar of the void. After that, it was time to go to the bloody wasteland. They calculated that the time was approaching and it was time to fulfill the agreement with the moon goddess Vanya.
It's time to take back the spell that An Zedi lent out.
As for the blue flower that Marvin had absorbed with the Void Jar, it was snatched away by the God of the Wilderness a long time ago when the [Heim's Scepter], which symbolized the supreme authority of Anze, was shattered.
Let's put an end to the past. This is what Hathaway needs to do when she comes to the Bloody Wilderness this time.
…
"In fact, even if you fail to break the curse, I will still help you."
"I have been watching you...silently in heaven."
When saying the first sentence, Luna was looking at Hathaway.
When she reached the last word of the second sentence, her eyes turned to Marvin:
"You have joined forces to stop an ambitious man who was trying to become the god of magic. This is remarkable ."
"In fact, I have approached you many times using my avatar, but in the end you relied on your own strength to overcome the difficulties."
There was an appreciative tone in her voice.
But soon, she changed the subject -
Time suddenly went back to the Third Age.
…
Vanya, who obtained the Cold Light Grasp and the Night Flower as she wished, worked day and night, and finally tempered the power of the Night Flower into the Cold Light Grasp.
The God of the Wilderness cannot be killed, so she wants to use her daughter's pair of artifacts to seal him.
She finds Bander, who has been keeping an eye out for the God of the Wilds.
In this world, no one knows the God of Wilderness better than Bender , but he did not appear when Vanya fought Bender.
Because he knew that this was not the result he wanted, and he needed to endure for a longer time.
Although the Moon Goddess used her powerful strength to successfully seal it in a coffin using the Grip of Cold Light and killed all the evil gods in the Wilderness Palace.
But Miss Silver Moon's body remained forever in the Regis ruins.
This is Bandel's lifelong pain.
In order to revive Miss Silver Moon, he went to great lengths to find the most difficult forbidden knowledge.
Vanya did not stop him. Out of love for her daughter, she provided some help to Bander even though she thought it was impossible.
For example, the authority of the witch curse night flower.
After this, Vanya returned to heaven and occasionally paid attention to what Bandar was doing.
Bandel's power grows stronger and stronger, but the life of a mortal is ultimately limited.
He transformed himself into a lich.
His only obsession is to resurrect his lover.
From the Third Age to now - the end of the Fourth Age, he has become cold and ruthless after being baptized by countless years.
But his obsession has not changed.
He was always searching for a way to resurrect the gods, but at the same time he didn't want to let the God of the Wilderness go so easily.
Sealing is really too light a punishment.
Finally, he found an ancient book in a corner of a deserted star world in the multiverse.
It recorded some special methods of resurrecting gods. Combined with the rituals of [Life and Death] he learned from the God of the Wilderness, he had almost figured out a solution.
So he took action.
He prepared for a very long time, and in order to gain the trust of the God of the Wilderness, he did not hesitate to kill a large number of innocent people.
Vanya was very disgusted by this, but she did not stop Bandar after all.
Perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope in her heart.
As time goes by, everything has been prepared, waiting for the final batch of sacrifices to stimulate the wildness of the God of Wilderness.
Bandel knew very well that only enough blood could stimulate the consciousness of the God of the Wilderness and make him truly believe in himself.
He opened the Wilderness Hall and Autumn Hunting Ground, attracting Marvin and others.
He successfully gained the trust of the incarnation of the God of Wilderness and obtained the [Spark] that he had carefully cultivated for many years.
Next, it was the thrilling events that took place in the dungeon.
…
The whole incident may not seem complicated, but it actually involves too many sensitive and awe-inspiring factors.
The transcendent Vanya, the crazy lich, the vicious wilderness god, the mysterious Anzedi...
After hearing this, Ma Wen could only smile bitterly.
I didn't expect that I would be involved in such a thing when I came to the Bloody Wasteland to look for Minsk.
"That's the story. It's not as complicated as you think, is it?"
There was a rare hint of human touch in the Moon Goddess's tone: "Gods also have feelings, obsessions, and can make mistakes."
"Why are you telling us this?"
Marvin asked.
The Moon Goddess said calmly: "You are participants in the incident, and you have the right to know the truth of the matter."
"I know you are a very observant person, but I don't want you to be misled by your own thinking, so it's best to just tell you the truth."
Marvin frowned. Why did Vanya think so highly of him?
Could it be that it is still related to the word "that person"?
But at this moment, Vanya obviously lost interest in continuing the conversation.
The light in her grew brighter and brighter.
And the body of the God of Wilderness began to distort again!
From a bloody man, he collapsed again.
Pieces of blood were floating in the air, and red barbs kept protruding. From a distance, he looked like a scarlet hedgehog!
At the other end of the hexagram, Miss Silver Moon's light became brighter and brighter.
The silver divine fire burned brightly, and mercury-like liquid was poured from the void.
A brand new godhead seemed to have been completed.
Bandel pushed the ritual forward almost frantically.
The black energy became very, very weak and his strength was almost exhausted.
But he did not stop, instead he accelerated the ceremony!
Everyone watched this scene silently.
Marvin didn't know what to say.
Bender is definitely not a good person.
But at this moment, he hopes he can succeed.
There is no special reason, it's just an instinctive psychological impulse.
At this moment, Jasmine grabbed the corner of Marvin's clothes and whispered:
"Something bad is going to happen."
"Brother Marvin, where is Uncle Griffin? Jasmine misses him very much."
"Please, can you let me see him?"
