Chapter 3406 Divinity from the Grave
In the darkness not far from the angel's body, the black coffin gradually became clear, and the hand wearing a bracelet on the edge of the coffin also stretched out again.
The skeletal finger pointed at the corpse, and the corpse completely turned into a pile of dry bones, but the heart and two eyeballs were still there. Then, as the golden bracelet on the wrist of the skeletal person at the edge of the black coffin vibrated slightly, the angel's body broke into pieces in silence.
The bones, heart, and eyeballs flew in different directions, but the left leg bone and the tibia bone connected to it remained in place.
These remaining bones slowly flew towards the black coffin and were held by the bone hand with the golden bracelet. Then the bones returned to the black coffin together.
"So, after the Angel of Death died, it was the God of the Grave that dealt with its body, and He still kept some of the angel's remains?"
The hand covering Shad's eyes finally moved away, but he still couldn't move and could only look at the darkness above the coffin.
The other corpse lying next to him was still moving, and Shade soon felt something cold holding his right hand. The "she" in his ear whispered a reminder [sense of "blasphemy"), telling Shade that something was holding his hand, and it was the left hand of the skeleton.
Then he heard a faint voice next to his ear. The voice was hoarse and vague, but it was so close that it seemed like something was speaking directly next to his ear.
"Are you looking forward to death?"
Xia De knew very well that if he gave a positive answer, he would most likely get a good reward from the evil god, but he did not do that:
"Do not."
He had regained the ability to speak.
"My heart still turns to the moon and the night."
The sighs in his ears were like the last lament of the dead, which made Shade's scalp numb and even made his chin itchy. But he soon found out that the reason for the itching was that Mia, who was lying on him, was sweeping his chin with her tail. Then Shade sat up from the pebbled shallows, and the feeling of a mountain pressing on his body just now disappeared.
In front of him, the dark moon half-sunken in the distance in the black water was still bright, illuminating his face and the white part of Mia's orange-white hair, while countless pure white souls in the water were moving towards the end in one flicker after another.
Xia De stared at the dark moon for a while, allowing himself to think carefully about the scene he had just seen and its meaning.
Lying in a coffin with a skeleton in the form of a saint, and then having his eyes covered by his hands, was not a pleasant experience. If Shade had not been unscathed afterwards, the experience just now could even be called terrifying.
But he had no way to complain. After all, the other party really didn't hurt him. Instead, he gave him the information he needed.
After finally coming to the conclusion that this evil god was much friendlier than the "blood-sucking god", he supported himself and stood up on the beach holding the cat. The extreme casting of the Philosopher's Stone and the continuous battles had exhausted him physically and mentally, but standing on the beach and looking at the moon, he felt like he was back home.
"No, no, my home is number six, St. Teresa's Square, not this kind of place."
Looking around and behind him, neither the gods nor the witches were there. Besides the small wooden boat, there was also a tattered black coffin at the edge of the familiar shallows.
"This is."
Then the big and small beagles poked their heads out of the coffin together. Shade raised his eyebrows and walked quickly towards the coffin with a long-lost smile on his face:
"You guys are here?"
The sound could not be transmitted; it was his soul that was speaking, and echoes appeared.
"Wang Wang Wang!"
The hound uttered its original voice, which was rare:
"Yes, the witches have returned to the world of the living. My daughter and I should have gone on instead of following them back, so we are here."
It climbed the edge of the coffin with its limbs, then jumped down and stepped on the shallows. The beagle also wanted to get down, but after struggling with its short limbs for a long time, it still accidentally fell back into the coffin, but fortunately it was caught by Xia De in time.
Shad put the beagle next to her mother. It ran around Shad, barking, and then snuggled up to its mother's soul again.
"Thank you for your help, thank you for freeing me and my daughter, I wish you a bright future. Goodbye sir, thank you for your help along the way."
The big hound said to Shade again, and then rubbed his daughter. The two hounds then barked at Shade a few times, then bypassed the coffin stranded on the edge of the shallows and ran happily onto the black water.
Xia De stood on the shore and looked out. A lady he didn't recognize stood in front of Mingyue with her arms open, waiting for the hounds. That should be the owner of the hounds, the ancient witch who sealed the "Corpse Tree".
He watched the witch pick up the two hounds, then bow to Shade, and then the woman and the two dogs turned and walked towards the half-sunken moon.
Xia De sighed softly, patted Mia's head on his shoulder, and then went to see if there was anything else in the coffin:
"They were all sent back, but I was thrown here because I didn't say I wanted to die. How stingy! Bones! Bones! Bones!"
He was thinking about the remains of the angel he had seen in the dark vision just now, and when he looked inside the coffin, he saw something inside. But unfortunately, it was not the angel's skeleton he had imagined, but a golden bracelet.
The bright golden bracelet glowed in the dim coffin, and a pure white rune chain was wrapped around its surface. When Shade saw it, it slowly floated up from the bottom of the coffin.
At the same time, the golden light became brighter and brighter. It was a dazzling light, a sacred light, a light of order. It was not overbearing or dangerous, but unusually solemn, not dazzling, but unusually gentle. However, this gentleness was also a little cold.
The golden light illuminated Xia De's shocked face. When it flew out of the coffin and came to the level of Xia De's chest, even the light of the dark moon in the distance could not cover the light of the bracelet.
Xia De already understood what it was, so he reached forward with a trembling hand, and his fingertips passed through the bracelet, followed by all his fingers and palm, until the bracelet was worn on his right wrist.
At this moment, it completely turned into a golden light that wrapped around Shade's wrist. Then, the "fluid" flowing inside the bracelet like golden blood turned into specks of light and was completely absorbed by the stranger, becoming his new power.
[Stranger, you feel "blasphemy". ]
[The god of the grave who guards the dead has acquired a new duty in the afterglow of the old days, which is to guard the great rift of death. He is the king of the dead, the master of the grave, and his throne is also his coffin.]
The life ring appeared involuntarily on this peaceful shallow beach, and the golden light transformed from the gold bracelet sank into the soul. This was a voluntary gift of power, and it did not require "her" to help absorb it.
[Outsider, you have absorbed a drop of divinity from the old god "God of the Grave".]
[Outsider, you have obtained the magic - Coffin of the Underworld: the life buried in the coffin by you will completely die; the objects or special existences sealed in the coffin by you will be temporarily sealed. Corresponding to the "True Death" spirit rune.]
[Outsider, your magic "Guiding Death" has been upgraded, with a new effect: psychic.]
"Guiding Death" originally only allowed Shade to see the memories remaining on the corpse. This promotion can be regarded as the completion of this magic.
As for the new magic "Coffin of the Underworld", it is equivalent to giving Shade an additional means to deal with undead creatures. As for its attached "sealing effect", it seems to be a lower-level substitute for "Kiss of the Tree".
However, the maze lock is not something that can be used frequently, but this magic can be activated at any time. In this way, this magic can also be regarded as a lower-level substitute for the sealing effect of [God's Gift Box].
“Divinity.”
Xia De sighed as he looked at Mingyue. With this drop of divinity, he now had three drops of divinity. It was a pity that he did not get the Spirit Rune, but Xia De was not greedy.
He took back the life ring, and Shade apologized for "slandering" the god's stinginess. Then he realized that this was the first time he had gained divinity in the "past":
"Won't this create a time paradox?"
He thought suspiciously, and "she" asked gently:
【Where is this? 】
“This is death.”
Xia De blinked and finally understood:
“Oh, this is a place without the concept of time and space, so it’s like God left something here for me to take. It won’t cause a time paradox. That’s why I’m here instead of returning to the world of the living with Violet-san and the others.”
He reached out and rubbed the cat's head again, and looked at his wrist when he heard its soft "meow".
Although the divinity has been absorbed, the golden bracelet that served as a container is still there.
This golden bracelet is not the ancient god's artifact. Xia De guessed that if he had answered that his heart was "death-oriented" at that time, it might be possible for him to obtain the artifact, but it seemed unlikely.
In short, this bracelet is just a container for storing divinity, and its function is similar to the [God's Gift Box], the big pearl under the Coldwater Harbor, and the flesh and blood of the nameless dragon. However, now that the divinity has been obtained by Shade, the light of the bracelet has become much weaker, but it still looks magical.
This was one of the bracelets that had been worn on the body of a saint by the old god, the God of the Grave. Shad understood its effect without anyone explaining it, and the effect was quite simple and direct - it enhanced the power of undead magic spells.
Although this thing is very good, it is not suitable for Shade. What is suitable for Shade is accessories such as "Moon Tears" that enhance the power of the moon.
However, he did not need to consider who he should give the bracelet to, because it was something from the "past" and he could not bring it to his own time and space.
