Chapter 387 The darkness is fooling you
The voices of other people sounded urgently. They were watching Maria's calf turn into fly ash bit by bit, floating in the air.
The collapse of the Crystal Palace became more serious, with numerous roofs falling one after another, hitting the floor with heavy sounds. The flames on the tree crown were burning brightly, and the burning leaves fell one after another, flying in the wind.
Kashchei hid behind the hostage in panic and shouted: "Maria, do you have to kill me?"
Maria's face was expressionless and silent. She tried several times to raise her hand and engulf Kashchei with fire. However, her seemingly cold heart could not be cruel to her sisters.
"How about I help you?" Rogge saw through her hesitation and said, "I like making deals very much. As long as you agree, the phoenix will belong to me after death."
"Deal." Maria replied neatly.
"Don't believe her!" Kashchei immediately retorted, "She is lying. She sacrificed the life force of the phoenix to gain strength."
"When she dies, the phoenix will turn into embers. It may take centuries before it returns from the ashes." He pleaded, "Rogg, help me! I have a lot to trade!"
"How are my daughters?" he said as he tore Helena's clothes open, then Natasha's... In an instant, twelve graceful and smooth bodies of different shapes were exposed in the sea of fire.
"The 72 virgins of Paradise may be out of reach, but they are very close!" Kashchei tempted, "As long as you help me, all these pure virgins will be yours. I can also canonize you as this The Duke of this land gives you a place in Oak Castle."
"How about the canopy? I can give this palace to you! Mr. Rogge, why don't you think about it carefully?"
"Since you want to make a deal, you should find a generous partner." Seeing that Rogge was still indifferent, Kashchei began to threaten and raise the stakes: "I can make you a real noble wizard! And Maria that A despicable woman is just an insect that is about to disappear!"
"If you help me kill her, we will be equivalent to having two phoenixes!" His eyes were firmly fixed on Rogge's messy hair. Fox was standing in the "Rogge Bird's Nest", staring angrily. Looking at him.
"If you are worried that I will be disadvantageous to you..." Kashchei paused, and then made a new condition: "How about the double-talker in the Oak Kingdom? You are the king, and I am also the king. We don't have to fight, and we don't have to fight. Beware of each other. I will give you half of Oak Castle, and they will all be yours."
"As long as you give me the Fox on your head and help me kill Maria, we can both become immortals. Of course, if you are worried, I am willing to become the new vessel."
"Rogge, do you still have direct blood relatives alive?" He was afraid that Rogge would misunderstand, so he hurriedly raised his hand to explain, "I don't intend to threaten, but the immortal ceremony requires the blood of close relatives. You are so young, it will definitely be too late to have a child."
"How about this? Tell me where your parents are and I will deal with it myself. Don't worry, I will make sure they don't know the truth." Kashchei talked freely, and even kindly designed a complete plan for Rogge to kill his parents. .
For eternal life, he is willing to sacrifice everything, as long as Rogge agrees to be the speaker together.
"Kill my parents?" Rogge's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes suddenly became as sharp as a knife.
"Yes, this is the only way. They are all dryads and cannot have children." Kashchei pointed at his daughters, his tone full of regret: "Oh, I originally planned to let Maria become the mother..."
Roger didn't want to hear it anymore. When Kashchei planned to kill Jessica for his own immortality. He had only one idea in his mind, to kill the other party completely and then spread his ashes.
"You..." Maria kept paying attention to the changes in Rogge's expression. When she heard these familiar conditions of betrayal, she couldn't help but think of Ivan who betrayed her.
She originally thought that by sensing the color of the soul, she could see through the other person's logic. But Roger's behavior once again broke her expectations.
"Kashchei, even thinking about some things is an unforgivable sin!" His voice was low and full of majesty, with a sense of judgment.
"Yumi, save people! Fox, open the way!" He ordered as he jumped into the air, his silver wings spreading gorgeously in the sea of fire.
The surrounding flames seemed to be waiting for his return, reflecting and surrounding him. Maria couldn't help but cover her mouth and let out an exclamation.
She saw a whirlwind sweeping past her eyes, and her own wall of flames was fanned away by Fox's wings.
"No!" Maria was worried that her sisters would be harmed by Kashchei and tried to stop Rogge.
However, Fox has far more control over the Phoenix Fire than Maria could have imagined. The flames of the oak tree instantly surrendered at Fox's feet, and they flew into the air, converging into a huge fire phoenix.
Maria held her stomach, feeling something inside her trying to break through. Every nerve and vein in her body reflected joy.
"I killed them..." Kashchei raised his right hand, and dark claws fell from the sky.
But Yumi moved faster. It first deployed its protective light shield and withstood the attack of the giant claw. Then, he used rapid movement to tear apart the restraints on Helena and others one by one.
"Damn little beast!" Kashchei never thought that a cat could use magic or even compete with it.
He was vaguely aware of the approaching death, so he unleashed all his magic power. The black claws became more real, and the slender nails shone with a cold light.
"Your opponent is me!" Rogge swung his sword forward and slashed at Kashchei's claws.
The Gryffindor sword, which had absorbed the blood of the phoenix, made a fiery slash. Kashchei did not expect that he would be forced back by a swordsman, and then, a green curse came straight towards him.
"Avada Kedavra!" This was the first time Rogge cast the Unforgivable Curse, and the Kirin wand was flowing with deadly green light.
Kashchei hurriedly dodged and cursed loudly at Rogge in the air: "Despicable wizard!"
"Are you a wizard or a swordsman? Are you brave enough to come and duel me head-on!" His messy hair covered his gloomy face, and a vicious light flashed in his eyes.
"Go down? Come up if you dare!" Rogge sneered and dodged quickly. A vicious jagged flower flew from below, biting towards where he was just now.
"How did you find out?"
"I'm equally sensitive to darkness."
After saying that, the two of them fought together again, with Fox controlling the fire above their heads and Yuumi guarding them in front of them. Kashchei's arm was chopped off by Rogge in a few rounds. He looked at the oncoming sword and subconsciously raised his hand to block it.
Gryffindor's sword cut off most of his hand, but its power remained undiminished. Then, he severely cut off his thigh.
"Ah!" Kashchei cried out in pain as he covered his bloody thigh.
He fell to the ground, the emotions in his eyes were very complicated: hatred, confusion, shock...melted into one.
Finally, he glared at Rogge with fierce eyes and shouted: "Despicable wizard, you have the guts to have an upright magic duel!"
"Magic duel?" Rogge shook his head slightly, but he didn't expect that the old wizard in front of him was still a nerd.
"Wizards are the best suited to use swords!" He sneered and raised his sword, about to execute Kashchei in front of him.
The flaming phoenix in the sky let out a cheerful cry and soared into the sword. Gryffindor's sword now turned into a blazing flame color, and the blade of the sword extended with an elemental blade dozens of feet long.
Just when he was about to deliver a fatal blow, Maria suddenly floated forward. Her lower body has completely disappeared, and her upper body is slowly dissipating as well.
"Get out of the way!" Rogge ordered.
"Please let me kill him!" Maria and Rogge looked at each other, facing the blade of death without giving in at all: "Thank you for saving Helena and the others, but revenge needs to be completed by myself."
Rogge's head was covered with black lines, and he cursed in his mind: "Is this woman stupid? Sure enough, women only affect the speed of drawing the sword!"
"I'm not helping you, but he has thoughts that he shouldn't have. Get out of here, or I'll kill you too."
"His plan against your parents was just a plan. But our mother was tortured to death by him." Maria said stubbornly, "Roger, please let me end his life!"
Helena and the other sisters also looked here, their eyes full of prayers, hoping that Rogge would fulfill their wish for personal revenge.
"Stupid woman, you are just helping him delay time..."
"Hahaha, he's right!" Kashchei stabbed his hand into Maria's mutilated body and dug out her burning heart.
"O evil God of Darkness, please listen to the prayers of humble believers!" Kashchei knelt on the ground with his only remaining leg and gouged out his eyes with his own hands.
Two lines of bloody tears flowed from the empty eye sockets. He raised his heart and eyes high and offered sacrifices to the void above his head.
"You are the master of darkness and the supreme ruler of evil. With my heart burning with the blood of the phoenix and my eyes that betrayed you, I apologize to you."
The night wind suddenly froze in mid-air for no reason, and the blazing fire on the oak tree was suppressed by an invisible force.
The alarm bells rang in Rogge's heart, and he regretted that he should have killed Maria along with him just now.
He looked down and saw the dying Maria full of guilt. He cursed: "Regret? MD, it's too late now!"
"Darkness, please come more violently..." Kashchei continued to chant the spell.
Rogge slashed with his sword, but there seemed to be an invisible veil covering Kashchei, preventing his sword from causing damage.
"Today, I offer everything I have and ask you to come! God of darkness, use endless evil to devour the light. I will be your humble servant and the straw sandals you use to walk the world."
Kashchei's sacrifice was effective, and he successfully summoned the Dark Will. In the blink of an eye, everything around him changed horribly.
The originally dark night sky became denser at this time, as if invisible ink was spreading in the sky, completely blocking the starlight and moonlight. An indescribable sense of oppression came, making everyone's breathing become heavier.
The temperature dropped sharply, and the cold cut through the skin like a sharp knife, making people shiver. The wind stopped blowing, the dust and smoke in the air became still, and the whole world seemed to have been put on pause.
Panic and uneasiness spread in their hearts, as if they were wearing frosted glasses, and their vision became blurred. A low and evil murmur echoed in the ears, as if there were countless demons whispering in the ears, making people feel frightened.
Rogge, who has a dark affinity, can feel more obvious changes.
He saw black energy gathering around Kashchei like a whirlpool, forming twisted black halos. These rings of light are constantly rotating, making people dizzy and almost losing their minds.
"Hahaha~" Kashchei knelt on the ground, laughing wildly.
He shouted in the direction of Rogge: "I will become the chosen one of darkness. Just wait to be killed by me one by one!"
"I promise, I will use the most cruel punishment to whip your body and spirit." Kashchei felt the darkness surrounding him and shouted crazily.
The atmosphere became heavy, and Rogge felt as if he was on a chessboard played by someone.
For no reason, a feeling appeared in his heart: "Just looking at me."
Suddenly, his panel lit up:
Roger Travis
Magic: 153/316
Mental strength: 158
Talents: Dark God's Choice, Psychopathy, Elemental Heart, Strong Will, Night Vision...
"This..." Rogge was stunned for a moment, and his affinity for darkness seemed to have evolved.
Could it be that the God of Darkness summoned by Kashchei did not choose him, but chose himself?
"I don't understand, but I'm shocked." Rogge checked carefully again and found out that he was right. It seems, it seems, he has indeed become the Dark God's Chosen.
Kashchei, who was kneeling on his knees, screamed crazily, firmly believing that the God of Darkness was destined to choose him. He fantasizes that when the power of darkness comes to him, he can kill the traitor in front of him.
"Two phoenixes!" Kashchei's whole body trembled uncontrollably when he thought that he could control all the phoenixes.
"Will telling him the truth hurt him too much? (It will hurt your mother!)" Rogge took a deep breath and felt that Kashchei seemed too sad.
Unexpectedly, in addition to the holy light with thick eyebrows and big eyes deceiving you, the darkness also does the same thing. It obviously looked down upon the lame Kashchei and selected Rogge as its chosen one.
Now, Rogge felt like he could blend into the darkness at any time. Even if you close your eyes, everything around you is still clearly visible. He can even see darkness as an extension of his will, touching and sensing things around him.
Helena looked around in confusion, and something seemed to have touched her lightly just now. However, the feeling was fleeting, and she comforted herself that it might just be an illusion.
Maria's eyes on the ground were full of regret and apology. If he hadn't blocked Rogge's sword just now, Kashchei might have died.
Her body was burning faster and faster, and now only her head and neck were left. She looked helplessly at the sky, begging her mother to forgive her for her stupidity.
"Idiot." Rogge's whisper didn't know who he was scolding. He stepped over Maria's head and quietly came behind Kashchei.
"You want to kill me? It's impossible. The darkness protects me. There's no way you can touch me!"
"Perhaps, it has been deceiving you." Rogge raised his sword and slashed it coldly like an executioner.
Kashchei's head fell to the ground, rolled several times, and finally stopped not far from Maria.
"Thank you." Maria showed an expression of relief on her face, and turned into ashes with satisfaction.
The oak tree began to collapse at this moment, and Helena and others also felt that the end of their lives was approaching.
"Brother Ivan." She said softly, with a sweet smile on her face, "If I see you next time, please let me take a bite."
She released her arms from her chest and danced in the final chapter of death: "Am I beautiful?"
"Beautiful." Rogge nodded solemnly, watching their bodies turn into wood and then quickly decay.
"Goodbye, brother Ivan." She stretched out her hand, wanting to touch Rogge, but the ruthless time turned her into dust.
Roger held Yumi and flew high into the sky, with Fox standing in his hair. Its gaze fell on the rotten mound below, its eyes filled with hope. In the cold night wind, the aria of the soul suddenly came.
"The universe is boundless, and a meteor streaks across the sky. That is my soul, embarking on an eternal journey..."
Twelve points of light flew out from the ruins and quickly surrounded each other. The whirlwind they brought together gathered the embers of flickering stars.
Fox let out a crisp chirp and flew down happily. It flew up and down happily around those light spots.
However, to Fox's dismay, what emerged from the embers was not a baby bird, but a phoenix egg.
The light spot completed its mission and flew into the universe at the end of the aria. But the phoenix egg held them tightly and wouldn't let them leave.
The surrounding forest suddenly swayed, and countless emerald green lights flew out and condensed into an acorn. The twelve points of light, guided by the phoenix egg, merged into it.
"Uh, where are my phoenixes?" Rogge stood in front of the ruins and picked them up helplessly.
Fox suddenly sensed something and turned around and flew towards the lake. At this moment, the originally green forest is full of yellow leaves. The breeze blows gently, and countless fallen leaves leave the treetops with it.
"Roger, are you okay?" Bathsheda asked with concern. She looked at the egg in Rogge's hand and asked uncertainly: "Is this a phoenix?"
"Probably." Rogge replied casually, his eyes falling on the silver behind her.
Dumbledore! The old silver coin of the principal actually appeared here. No wonder Fox abandoned him and ignored him.
"Oh, my Yumi is still considerate." Rogge sighed in his heart and gently stroked the cat's little head.
In the previous battle. It's extraordinary. After all, asking Yuumi, who has always been playful, to fight against him is as difficult as asking Dumbledore to not wear a sweater.
"When you go back, you must reward them well. Add more chicken legs and freeze-drying. Enough ham sausages, buy catnip by the box..."
Rogge looked at the principal's gentle smile and quickly made a formula in his mind: Dumbledore = Old Silver Coin, Old Six = Voldemort. Because the old silver coin = the sixth old man, Dumbledore = Voldemort.
"The proof is complete, the logic is correct, perfect!" He immediately adjusted his emotions, looked at Dumbledore's kind eyes, and asked for advice: "Principal, there seems to be something wrong with this phoenix."
