Chapter 331 Double Stigmata
Pain...
Pain that cuts through the heart and bones.
The crimson mist lingered all over his body, and his skin felt like it was pierced by needles. Chu Ming's face was in pain, and he could not support his body and slid to his knees on the ground.
"Lord Ryan, please don't be in trouble."
The green screen was unveiled, and Lu Hu entered the secret room in a panic. He wanted to get close to him, but was blocked by the surging crimson blood mist.
Chu Ming trembled and panted, "Bring... bring my body here, please..."
Before he finished speaking, the summoned creature exploded and scattered into blood mist all over the sky.
"Okay... okay."
Lu Hu lifted the green screen and disappeared on the spot. Ten seconds later, he brought Chu Ming's body, who was dressed in armor and knight, to the secret room.
"Cough... cough..."
Chu Ming was surrounded by strange red mist at this time, his face was in pain, and he tried to stay awake.
"The core of the magic... array."
He stretched out his right hand tremblingly and pressed on the core of the magic array floating in the air.
"Ding!"
Instantly, green light bloomed like a flower, full of vitality to disperse the red fog and fill the entire secret room.
Chu Ming's expression eased a little. He poured all his mental power into the core of the magic circle, and used his life force to wrap up the crimson fog that had penetrated into his body, trying to destroy it.
Just as he was concentrating on dealing with the crimson fog, the copper pocket watch under his armor, which was emitting an icy air, flew out and landed on the bewildered Lu Hu's hand.
The icy air floated out and condensed into Elena's body.
"Thank you."
The woman smiled and thanked him, and took back the copper pocket watch in her hand.
She glanced at Chu Ming, who was concentrating on dealing with the crimson fog. She didn't seem to be very worried. Soon she retracted her gaze, held the copper pocket watch with both hands, and muttered something.
"Buzz..."
The copper pocket watch vibrated a few times in the woman's palm, and then emitted a faint white light, and automatically opened the copper watch cover. Some white silks floating in the air actually gathered towards the pocket watch, as if some mysterious ceremony had begun.
Green Lake turned his head to look at Elena, and then put his eyes back on Chu Ming. She looked a little overwhelmed, and could only use magic to wrap Chu Ming up, trying to reduce his pain.
In the center of the magic circle, the pain on Chu Ming's face eased a lot.
But he did not relax because of this, but his face became much uglier.
He found that no matter how he used magic to eliminate and drive the crimson mist into his body, it had no great effect on it. The crimson power was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, parasitizing on him.
"Life force has no effect on it..."
Chu Ming did not give up. He was determined in his heart, and frantically squeezed every bit of spiritual power in his mind. The green light in his palm emitted a more dazzling light.
"Eliminate it for me!"
With an angry shout in his heart, he used all his strength to take the life force into Baihui and flowed to the place where the crimson mist was.
"Ah!"
The life force and the crimson blood mist annihilated each other, and the strange red mist lingering on his body surface slowly dissipated, and the intense pain returned to his body again.
"Hold on."
Chu Ming staggered back a few steps, but he finally stood firm.
"I'll disappear!"
His eyes widened, and the strong vision seemed to alarm some existence in his body. On the back of his right hand, green light flowed, as if something was about to condense.
"Lord Ryan, come on!"
"Ryan, hold on."
Green Lake and Green Vine cheered him up.
Chu Ming heard the shouts of the two people through the hazy green light. He held the core of the magic circle with both hands, as if he wanted to press it out with fingerprints.
"Ah!"
The green light instantly bloomed in the entire secret room, dazzling and incomparable. The rich vitality seemed to condense into substance, falling on the cracks in the wall, the gaps in the wooden boards... and wild grass and flowers grew.
In a trance, Chu Ming could not feel the existence of his body, and the pain receded like a tide, replaced by unprecedented ease.
He felt that his body floated up as if without any weight, and the warm life wrapped him up, as if he had returned to the moment when his life began.
The freshness of the soil, the fragrance of flowers and plants, the tranquility of the woods... He seemed to be wandering in the endless nature, and his vision became extremely broad.
After an unknown amount of time, Chu Ming gradually woke up from his immersion.
He raised his right hand subconsciously and looked at the back of his hand.
Under the arm armor, the condensed green light could not be concealed, and under his eyes, the familiar lines gradually appeared.
"This is... the holy mark of life..."
"This power has returned to me."
Chu Ming's face was full of surprise. He never thought that he could be favored by life again.
"Could it be that He already knows my identity as a reincarnation?"
Chu Ming's mind moved slightly. He quickly built a spell model in his mind, wanting to use the power of life to use the spell.
What he didn't expect was that the moment he consciously triggered the holy mark, the power of life did not appear, but instead he felt a severe pain in his mind.
Chu Ming's face turned pale and he collapsed to the ground.
"Lord Ryan..."
Green Lake was about to approach.
"Wait, Green Lake, Green Vine, don't come over here yet."
Chu Ming stood up with the core of the magic circle floating in the air.
He inadvertently glanced at the crimson blood mist flowing on his left arm, and then he realized that the crimson mist had not been completely eliminated.
Before he could make any move, the crimson power became more and more solid under the pressure of the sacred mark of life, and formed red lines on the back of his left hand.
Chu Ming was stunned when he saw this scene.
"Is this the Crimson Stigma?!"
"Can I use the power of the evil god?!"
What a joke!
Chu Ming's expression was uncertain. He didn't know whether this was a good thing or not. In fact, he didn't know much about the evil god.
"How can the Life Stigma allow the existence of the Evil Stigma?"
When he thought of this, his expression became strange.
The war between the good gods and the evil gods has been going on for tens of thousands of years. Not to mention the coexistence of the powers of the good gods and the evil gods, even the powers of the evil gods and the evil gods will repel each other.
How on earth he could make two completely different stigmata coexist in the same body, he himself felt very confused.
These two different forces didn't tear his body apart in a fight for territory. Shouldn't he feel lucky...
After pondering for a moment, Chu Ming came back to his senses and faced Green Lake's worried eyes. He didn't tell them about the stigmata so as not to worry the two of them. He just breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's been solved. ”
"Very good!"
Lu Teng's jumping voice sounded from Lu Hu's body, and Lu Hu's face was also full of smiles.
Chu Ming said seriously: "Now is not the time to relax. The gray mist roots you want to eliminate may not be completely absorbed by Katie, and there will still be residues. It would be terrible if it escapes through the earth veins."
"Yes."
The two people exclaimed, apologized to Chu Ming, and hurriedly left the secret room.
After watching the two people leave, Chu Ming withdrew his gaze and looked at Elena, who was leaning against the bookshelf with her eyes closed, and the copper pocket watch floating in the air absorbing white light.
Chu Ming asked: "What are you doing?"
He just asked and didn't expect Elena to answer. Unexpectedly, the woman didn't care at all. She shrugged and explained: "Of course I am saving my dear Princess Katie."
Chu Ming's heart moved, "Can you collect the souls of the dead and resurrect them?"
Elena rolled her eyes at him and chuckled: "What are you thinking about? If you die, you are dead. Of course I can't resurrect the dead."
"But, as the holder of divine authority, Her Royal Highness the Princess, even if she dies, her soul can survive for a long time."
Halfway through her words, the copper pocket watch floating in mid-air became dim, as if it had lost power, and fell into her hand.
"Collection completed."
Elena grabbed the chain and shook the copper pocket watch in front of Chu Ming.
He said wickedly: "Junior brother, do you want Princess Katie's soul? If you want it, I can't give it to you."
"After all, you should be very excited about playing with your soul."
Chu Ming said angrily: "You should keep it well yourself."
He suddenly changed the topic, "Since you know that Katie has the power of the evil god, why did you resurrect her?"
His eyes were fixed on Elena, wanting to know her answer.
Elena put away her pocket watch and said with a smile: "Katie's tragedies are all caused by divine evil, and the consciousness of the blasphemous witch affects her all the time."
"People say that gods are born evil gods, but in the eyes of my teacher and me, they are just a group of pitiful guys who cannot make their own choices, because they will be the same as the puppets under the screen all their lives. Fiddle with it.”
"However, it is worth mentioning that Katie was a blessing in disguise this time. Not only did she gain power beyond blasphemy, but she also completely escaped the control of the blasphemy witch through death."
The woman whispered: "As her friend, I am very happy."
Chu Ming's expression moved slightly and he continued to ask: "Do you know Katie?"
He stared at the woman's smiling eyes and said, "Did you arrange all of this?"
Elena covered her mouth and snickered: "Thank you, junior brother, I didn't expect that I am such a smart person in your impression."
"How could I possibly arrange such an incident involving an evil god? This is almost like a game between gods."
The woman sighed, "Actually, I thought that the destruction of the Clinton Kingdom was inevitable, and that Katie would sacrifice herself under the control of the Blasphemy Witch to become a new god."
"But junior brother, you are a variable."
Elena's face was full of smiles, and it was the first time Chu Ming saw her smile so sincerely.
"me?"
"That's right."
Elena stood up and circled around Chu Ming.
She winked playfully, "After all, no one would have thought that there would be people favored by life in the southern land far away from Fengyang Empire."
Chu Ming's expression remained unchanged, "What do you know?"
"That's all I know."
"But don't worry, I'm not like Crono's big mouth. I will keep this secret for you."
Chu Ming glanced at her suspiciously, and his intuition told him that there seemed to be many secrets hidden in Elena, but as long as the woman didn't tell him, he had no way of knowing.
Elena knew what he was thinking, so she just whispered: "Don't make random guesses, I can't eat you anyway."
Chu Ming took a deep breath and shook the messy thoughts out of his head.
"I have one last question."
Elena made a please gesture with her right hand.
"Please tell me."
Chu Ming's eyes fell on her pocket, "Why do you believe that a person with the power of an evil god will not fall into darkness after resurrection."
Elena couldn't help laughing and said: "Being able to ask this question shows that you don't know enough about the evil god."
"Of course, I can't blame you. After all, the evil god is mysterious and strange and difficult to contact. The research documents related to the evil god are also incomplete. People know very little about the evil god."
"You just need to know that even evil gods have different camps."
Chu Ming's heart was shaken. This sentence was like an enlightenment and suddenly opened his mind.
He had felt it was strange long before. There were no less than three evil gods he knew about - the mysterious evil gods who controlled the golden monsters in the Violet Principality.
A blasphemous witch who often wanders around various countries with unclear goals.
It exists outside the continent, in the dark world, and is the source of disaster that is entangled with fairies.
There are already three evil gods revealed on the surface of the water, and there are still many evil gods hidden under the deep water that are watching covetously.
However, with only one good god resurrected and the mad god the God of War and Desolation still existed, the evil god did not take any action, which was completely beyond his expectation.
If the evil god really exists in different camps as Elena said, then everything can be explained.
Elena waited for Chu Ming to think, and after a while she continued: "I know Katie very well."
"Know the poor girl well."
"She is smart and brave, but she has her own bottom line, otherwise she would not have been able to persist until now under the bewitchment of the blasphemy witch."
"But it's a pity that the royal family forced her into the darkness, allowing the blasphemous witch to find an opportunity."
Chu Ming wondered: "Why do the royal family still keep Katie by their side when they know she is a sinner?"
The corner of Elena's mouth raised slightly, "The arrogance and arrogance of the royal family are beyond your imagination. They think they can control everything, but they don't know that they are playing with fire."
"I can feel that Katie longs for recognition, hopes to be recognized by everyone and blend in with normal people, so she has been working hard to play the role of a princess."
"What she didn't expect at all was that the royal family would marry her to the distant Heen Kingdom. What's even more interesting is that the king of the Heen Kingdom once executed an eight-year-old god."
"She is very smart. She naturally understands what it means to marry into the Heen Kingdom."
Chu Ming was silent for a moment, and the memory of He En Kingdom appeared in his mind.
The Kingdom of Heen did execute an eight-year-old child, but he was not burned to death, but was cut into pieces and eaten by the royal family as a dinner.
Other kingdoms also condemned this, but the incident quickly calmed down after the royal family apologized.
Elena stretched her waist and yawned.
"Do you have anything else to ask?"
"If not, I'll go back and play with Crono."
Chu Ming nodded.
"Say hello to Crono for me. I have to finish dealing with matters in the royal city before I have time to go back."
Elena turned into icy air and flew outward. Before leaving, she did not forget to remind:
"By the way, people from other families in the kingdom have arrived, and your family is negotiating, but the progress doesn't seem to be going very smoothly."
