Volume 9: Vampires and Dungeons Chapter 31: Arrogance
'Mission Change: Finale'
'Introduction: You finally uncovered all this - but it really had nothing to do with you. You were just a tourist who accidentally broke in, just like being hit by a car on the street. Your impatience and self-conceit led to everything that happened, all the predetermined endings were disrupted, and all the scripts were rewritten. And because of this reckless behavior, a will that had been dead for countless years was born from the rotten and grotesque shell, merged with the magic power, and became a new life.
This script has been planned for decades, including the fat man's birth, friendships, and employment. Everything should have been fine, but at the very end, the original script was broken by magic. And in the last attempt to save the situation , your anger and power turned his efforts into nothingness. Then it's time to tear him apart.
The ancestors have fallen into eternal sleep, and the monster born from this body should also be crushed. This is your duty and obligation. But please be careful, you may get into big trouble. '
'System prompt: You are facing a special boss.'
'System prompt: You are facing 'Ancestors - the beginning of reincarnation' 'Descendants - the end of reincarnation''
He is just an ordinary mortal-level boss.
Big. Trouble? What big. Trouble could it be?
Looking at the words on the mission introduction, Li Lin sneered and burned a lot of magic power towards the figure.
Watered by nearly infinite magic power, the holy flames surged from both sides of Li Lin like waves, and countless pale flames swept everything around. The mirror image of the end of the world was constantly reflected in the eyes of the ancestors.
Looking at the vast sea of holy light, the ancestor calmly closed his eyes, and the light and tentacles behind his head touched the more hidden corners in the deep darkness. A law that had been arranged long ago was triggered, and the runes in a corner quietly turned into powder and red light, dissipating into the air.
"I will sacrifice my body with the blood of a thousand men, please protect me."
"……?"
No changes?
Li Lin was stunned as he looked at the figure that stood still, like an invisible shield that had been deployed in an instant, allowing the magic power to wash over it.
Magic power is ineffective? Or is holy light ineffective?
Looking at the man who was unscathed in the sea of fire like Moshi, Li Lin frowned, but still raised his sword and walked forward without fear. You can't be immune to physical attacks, right?
Looking at the ancestor who seemed to be standing there waiting to die, Li Lin had a blank expression on his face. The conceptual sword blade woven from pure light gradually solidified in his hand, and he chopped straight at the ancestor's head. There was no trick or disguise, just a straight cut. The right hand raised high released a magnificent light.
"I will sacrifice my body with the blood of a thousand men to seal the right hand of Li Lin the Purifier for one day."
The tentacles behind the ancestor standing in place trembled again, countless lights flickered, and the blood-colored lines gradually melted away, conveying the intention of sacrifice.
The sword blade that was originally shining brightly lost its power in an instant, and the whole arm became limp like noodles, not to mention lifting the sword. It was as if the nerve signals were completely lost. In Li Lin's astonished eyes, the condensed light gradually dissipated, and disappeared like a mirage.
"?! What's going on?! There 's no way I can eat these states-"
What's this curse?
Did I feed all my godhood to the dogs?!
Looking at his falling hand, Li Lin looked at the figure of his ancestor in astonishment.
The ancestor, who was wearing a formal suit, nodded at Li Lin, who was full of disbelief, and showed a simple smile.
"Ah, the rose dream has imprinted your appearance on the reflection of this door, and the ultimate door will eventually open to me... Do you still like the rose in the mansion? The mysterious dream has already imprinted your divine shadow in the barrier. And the connection between shadow and man is the most original curse... Even a true god cannot escape from this original curse. Moreover, the time has come."
"Varied--"
"'I will sacrifice my body with the blood of a thousand men to seal the left hand of Li Lin the Purifier for one day.'"
"'With the blood of a thousand men, I sacrifice my body to seal the left foot of the Pure One Li Lin for one day.'"
"'With the blood of a thousand men, I sacrifice my body to seal the right foot of the Purifier Li Lin for one day.'"
"'I will sacrifice my body with the blood of a thousand men to seal the body of Li Lin the Purifier for one day.'"
Looking at Li Lin who was rushing towards him with a gloomy face, the ancestor slowly closed his eyes.
Runes one by one disappeared as the tentacles behind his head dug and touched them, and curses began to be cast upon Li Lin one after another.
The great power of the contract transmitted from the void quickly fulfilled their agreement. All of Li Lin's limbs lost control, and he didn't even have time to launch a magic attack before he lost control of his entire body. He fell to the ground like a mollusk.
Just as the power of the blood sacrifice he offered when he was a mortal was able to achieve great deeds that many people could never imagine, what if the enemy also possessed such ability and had more proficient relevant information than he did?
Arrogance is the enemy of everything.
"But it's not enough--!"
Li Lin used magic to forcibly control his limbs and looked at the ancestor with a grim face.
"I admit that your methods are beyond my expectations, but in the face of absolute strength, you simply cannot—"
"No, that's enough."
Looking at Li Lin who stood up like a puppet under the control of magic, more light gradually emerged from the depths behind the ancestor's head, and also triggered the last chain.
"'I will sacrifice my body with the blood of ten thousand people to seal the magic power of Li Lin the Purifier for one day.'"
“——!!!!”
The white light gradually retreated, and the infinite light quietly dissipated.
The blood sacrifice of a hundred thousand people and the spirit of coincidence are enough to create a great demon-level figure, and to suppress the power of a magic awakener to a mortal, the blood sacrifice of ten thousand people is enough.
Under the compassionate gaze of the ancestor, the invincible White Knight had his magic power and limbs sealed alive because of his arrogance. His body, without any strength, swayed, and he staggered and fell down against the white jade pillar in the garden. Looking at the ancestor who took a breath and walked slowly towards him, his heart was filled with shock and regret.
"Sacrifice... I should have known this a long time ago... Even if others don't know, you know it anyway."
"Yes, only by dedicating my blood and people to the void can I achieve all of this. Only a mortal can do all of this. The light of ten thousand people still cannot kill you... You are truly my respected predecessor and mentor."
Standing in front of Li Lin, the ancestor's face gradually took on a dark and deep color under the light and shadow.
Arrogance will eventually lead to disaster.
