Chapter 2481 Embrace Death
The longer this life-and-death struggle lasts, the more intense the pain Professor Moriarty endures, and the more his "power of myth" is consumed. No one knows how long he can last.
Joan held the pure gold phylactery in his pocket, and the cold magic power seeped into his palm through the metal outer wall, making his fingers numb from the cold.
He knew that the mentor's soul had been transferred to the phylactery, and it stands to reason that the "Lich Transformation Ceremony" should have been successfully completed long ago, because the mentor had to use the "power of myth" to counteract the magic of death, trying to keep his body fresh as a living person, This painful ceremony has been delayed until now. If it goes on like this, when will it end?
Professor Moriarty deeply understands that life is short and human nature is weak, so he wants to transform himself into an undead creature to completely eliminate the weaknesses of living species. Body, isn't this too greedy?
Those who pursue perfection and try to change their fate against the sky will inevitably suffer cruel revenge from the laws of nature.
Joan sighed, holding the mentor's phylactery with his left hand instead, injecting the energy stored in the "Tears of God" into the phylactery through his palm, and then infusing it into the mentor's soul, helping him share part of the pain, and at the same time providing him with the power to fight against death. Suffering "power of myth".
Professor Moriarty has just become a mythical creature tonight, possessing a total of 17 "level 7 mythic powers". If this is compared to ammunition, it may not be enough to fight against the negative energy contained in the "wine of immortality". If it is exhausted, "Myth Rebirth" will be turned off, and all the previous efforts and pains endured will be in vain.
Fortunately, Mr. Professor still has a good student.
The power of myth brought by Joan in time replenished the urgently needed "ammunition" for him, and finally persisted until the last moment, exhausting the magic power of the "wine of eternal life".
The skin is soft, firm and lustrous, the face is as handsome as before, the eyes are burning and energetic, and the toned muscles support the robe again.
Joan witnessed with his own eyes the miracle that Professor Moriarty created on himself, which was probably unprecedented, and he couldn't help being deeply shocked.
Except for the "fear aura" emanating from his body, from the outside, the professor is no different from before, and he is still a handsome and handsome man. Only when Joan opened the "advanced internal vision technique" did he gain insight into the life from birth to death. The nature of death changes.

Joan breathed a sigh of relief.
Relying on the "Mythical Regeneration" physique bestowed by the Holy Seal, coupled with his own help, Professor Moriarty finally passed the "Lich Transformation Ceremony" and transformed into a "Mythical Lich" who retained his physical body as he wished.
Although Joann did not agree with Professor Moriarty's choice of actively embracing death, it did not prevent him from being very pleased with the success of his mentor.
"This farce is still interesting so far, but I am more looking forward to the climax that will be staged next."
Dinin looked at his old friend who had transformed into a "mythic lich", raised the holy emblem with a sneer, activated the 9-ring "miracle technique", and applied for permission from Erkadna to control the parasitic holy spirit on Professor Moriarty's body. Seal, prompting the seal to transform into a holy beast.
"Brother Trophim, let me tell you a secret. From the moment you accepted the holy seal, your destiny has already been doomed, and transforming into a lich can't change anything."
"When the holy beast in your body wakes up, the phylactery and the soul will be completely shattered. I am curious whether your sacrifice can leave some unique legacy for Hydera, such as making it evolve into a monster with the characteristics of a lich." Immortal holy beast, this is worth looking forward to, isn't it?"
Dinin's prayer was quickly answered by the "Mother of Monsters". The will of the evil god came to the world with the "miracle technique" as the carrier, and applied it to Professor Moriarty, trying to awaken the sleeping holy beast in his body.
The phylactery that Joan carried close to him immediately felt a sensation and trembled violently, as if it was about to shatter.
The holy seal is not only parasitic in the body of the host, but also closely connected with the soul. Only when the host's soul is unable to suppress the holy seal, the holy beast will burst out.
The lich's soul is not in the physical body, but hidden in the phylactery. Professor Moriarty's phylactery is in Joan's hands at this moment.
Professor Moriarty looked stern, trying his best to resist the power of the evil spirit that was about to move in his body.
Even if he transformed into a lich, he was not absolutely sure of getting rid of the control of the holy seal. Just in case, he told his students telepathically.
"If the phylactery gets out of control, don't hesitate to destroy it immediately!"
The mentor's warning echoed in his mind, and Qiao An's heart seemed to be bleeding. He quickly held the phylactery tightly in his hand, and tried his best to protect the mentor's soul container!
At this moment, a powerful divine power gushed out from his body, turning into soft holy light covering the phylactery, dispelling another divine power that tried to destroy the phylactery—the power of the evil god Ekadna.
In an instant, Joan seemed to hear a woman's screams and vicious curses in his ears, and he was slightly taken aback, then suddenly came to his senses!
Before he died, Sir Custis bestowed on him the grace of "Queen of Karma" Demoss to protect his seal from Erkadna.
Professor Moriarty decided to transform into a lich, and entrusted the phylactery prepared in advance to his students for safekeeping. Demosy's divine grace also protected the phylactery in Joan's hand by the way, and then indirectly helped Mori Professor Artie resisted the evil will of the "Mother of Monsters" Ekadna over mortals.
Dinin realized that the development of the situation deviated from his own expectations, and he was unable to awaken the sacred beast in Professor Moriarty's body. His facial muscles twitched, and he barely restrained his disappointment and annoyance, and took out the imprisoned casti from his pocket The black agate of the soul of Sir Si, intends to crush the gem and release the eighth-order mythical holy beast "Medusa".
"Yal!"
Professor Moriarty chanted the incantation in a low voice, and the black agate in Dinin's hand trembled violently.
When Dinin realized that the situation was not good, the black onyx had forcibly broken free from his grasp, and flew straight back to Professor Moriarty's hands, he couldn't help being stunned.
