Chapter 136 Resurrection
Chapter 136 Resurrection
The blood mist poured into Yaxiu's body and was quickly transformed by him. It was estimated that this mist could increase his experience bar by half a level.
Ash glanced at the dozen or so people in the audience stands, his eyes revealing a desire for "food".
Even if the demand grows in the future, if he can swallow these dozen people, he can probably still increase his level by five, which is enough to save him more than a year of hard work.
Unfortunately, this is unlikely, after all, they will kill each other.
It’s hateful. Why can we only have one fight to the death a day? Otherwise it would be great to have three meals a day.
Ash's slightly greedy look was also seen by a dozen gladiators in the stands. Although they wanted to kill Ash for breaking the unspoken rules,
However, these gladiators who had won ninety consecutive games had been the focus of the arena's master and were subject to corresponding restrictions, which was that they could test their opponents at ordinary times but could never kill them.
If you want to kill, you can only do it in the arena.
So even if they want to take action again, they have to hold back, otherwise they will end up becoming blood puppets.
"I want a death fight." After Ash shouted this, the death fight arena immediately matched him with an opponent.
The name and appearance emerged in his mind, and Ash's eyes fixed on a warrior wearing full armor among the dozen or so people.
[Fire Eyes and Golden Pupils] saw through it, collected some information, then turned around and left.
The gladiators around the warrior were all looking at him with gloating eyes, because they had just seen Ash's strength. The fighter with 92 consecutive wins was beaten to pieces by a stick. This fully armored warrior who also had only 92 consecutive wins was probably dead.
But the fully armored warrior had a calm expression and just walked back silently.
The next day, Ash met the fully armored warrior again, this time in the arena.
"Can I ask a favor of you, demon?" said the fully armored warrior.
Ash held the stick and said, "Tell me about it?"
"If you can get out, help me send a message to a woman and tell her not to wait any longer, Gray is dead." said the fully armored warrior Gray.
"What's his name and how do I find him?" Ash asked.
"Her name is Katyusha Mitchell, the granddaughter of the Immovable Monk." Gray threw a necklace to Ash, "This is a keepsake."
The granddaughter of the warrior monk? That was a coincidence.
Ash's thoughts flashed through his mind, and he reached out to take the necklace.
Just as he reached out to take the necklace, Gray moved, as fast as thunder, and in the blink of an eye he was in front of Ash, and the sword in his hand stabbed Ash's eyes mercilessly and viciously.
There was no trace of panic or even surprise in Ash's molten gold eyes, only calmness.
Believe what your enemy says, do you really think he is stupid?
The wooden stick arrived first, hitting the middle of the long sword. With a clang, the long sword was immediately deflected, and Gray, who was carrying the momentum, was also deflected.
Ash reached out and grabbed the necklace.
"Who are you to Katyusha?" Ash didn't pursue the question, but asked curiously, "Husband, lover?"
Gray stopped, clenched his sword with both hands and pointed it at Ash. He was not surprised that this trick didn't work. After all, if the gladiators here were not vigilant, they would have died when they were weak.
Green said, "Her son."
Son? This made Ash stunned for a moment. The conversation just now seemed like that between lovers. He didn't expect Gray to be Katyusha's son, that is, the great-grandson or great-grandson of the Immovable Monk.
But after thinking about it, it is barely reasonable. The Immovable Monk was already married before he was enlightened, and now his granddaughter is married and has children, which is normal.
He is over 300 years old. He doesn't ask for six generations living under one roof, but having four generations living under one roof should be normal.
"Now that you put it that way, I'm a little interested in hearing your story." Ash waved his stick, "I'm curious, what made you not become the great-grandson of a warrior monk, but instead become a minion of Khorne?"
"free."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gray rushed in front of Ash and slashed him with his sword again, carrying a strong smell of blood that was enough to make people feel sick.
"That damn old man, he's meddling in this and that, saying he's doing it for my own good, bullshit!"
"If he really wanted to do good for me, he shouldn't restrict me!"
Gray slashed furiously, his speed increasing as he spoke, and Ash also understood the whole situation.
Simply put, it is a story about an old conservative and a rebellious child.
Despite this, even though Ash had a rebellious period in his previous life, he did not feel any empathy. During his rebellious period, he skipped school, learned music, and fell in love prematurely, while Gray's rebellious period was about killing, hunting, and using strong swords.
There is no doubt that Gray is born an evil person and a representative of the evil nature of human beings.
If his great-grandfather hadn't been an immovable monk, he would have died several times over.
However, while others have concerns, Ash has no concerns at all, even if there is cooperation in the future.
clang!
Ash pulled hard, and Gray's sword was directly knocked away. Then he hit him with the stick again, leaving a dent in Gray's armor.
"This stick is for your mother, for giving birth to a beast like you."
Bang! Another blow, and the armor was shattered.
"This blow is for those who have been persecuted by you. They are just unlucky to have run into a bastard like you."
Bang! Gray was blown into a ball of blood mist.
Yaxiu put down the stick, looked at the blood mist and said coldly: "I hit myself with this stick. You really polluted my eyes."
Outside, in a gloomy little wooden house, a beautiful woman in black gauze pressed her heart which had long stopped beating. It seemed to twitch just now.
The beautiful woman touched the corners of her eyes with her hands, and they seemed a little moist. Silent sadness began to spread in her heart.
The old man who was meditating outside noticed the beautiful woman's mood swings and asked, "What happened, Katyusha?"
"My child seems to be dead." The beautiful woman spoke calmly, but anyone could hear the sadness in her words.
"That." The old man was about to curse, but when he thought of his granddaughter's situation, he couldn't help but swallow the word "beast" and stopped talking. Otherwise, he couldn't curse or comfort her.
In the death arena, after Ash absorbed Gray's blood, he left with the necklace. The necklace should be real because he found a line of words on the middle tag - May the God of True Wisdom protect my son, Gray.
Since it is true, let's return it to this poor mother.
In the room, Ash created a clone and teleported away with the necklace.
In the wooden house, a silver crystal suddenly flashed, and then a clone came out with a necklace.
Such a movement immediately attracted the attention of the other two people in the cabin.
In an instant, Ye Lin and Karisan appeared in front of Ash.
Carissa was about to ask why Ash came out, but she swallowed the words back because she realized that the Ash in front of her was not his real self.
"Is it time?" Ye Lin said.
Ash nodded, "Almost. Let's set off to find the Immovable Monk."
"Shouldn't we notify him to come?" Karisan raised her hand and then put it down, asking in confusion.
Ash spread his hands and pointed to the necklace in his hand: "I have something for his granddaughter and asked him to bring her here. I guess he won't be able to make it in time. Why don't we go over there?"
"Oh." Karisan nodded suddenly, "So what is this?"
"Her son's relics." Ash said, and then told the two of them about Gray's identity.
After hearing this, Karisan couldn't help but shake her head: "That's really unlucky for Einstein. This generation will be extinct."
"It's quite unlucky." Ash nodded in agreement. After all, any normal family would consider it unlucky to have such a wicked great-grandson.
"Then let's go first." said Carissa.
"Ah."
Then the three of them packed up and went to look for the immovable monk Ainse.
Three days later, Ash met this immovable monk.
With a crew cut, strong muscles, and an aged face, he doesn't look like an old man at all. However, considering the lifespan of a demigod, he is indeed not an old man.
Einz looked at the three people who arrived suddenly. First, he was the most familiar one, Karisha, then Ye Lin, whom he had met a few times, and finally Ash.
The auras of these two seemed to have improved slightly, and Einz felt a little surprised. After all, at their level, every small step was very difficult, and it was quite rare to take more than ten steps in a row.
Aines looked at Ash who was standing between the two of them, and asked the two chosen ones of God to take him as the priority in their actions. Whose chosen one was this?
But after feeling it carefully, Einz did not detect any trace of gods. He was not chosen by God, nor even favored by God. What was going on?
Einz took a closer look and found that Ash's physique and aura were both in great shape. Considering his age, he could be said to be quite a phenom, but this was not enough for the two chosen ones of God to choose him as their primary choice.
As he thought about it, he said, "Karisan, is it time?"
He still remembered the agreement with Karishan.
"There are still four or five days left. We came here this time to prepare something for your granddaughter." Carisan shook her head.
"My granddaughter?" Einz wondered. "What are you going to hand over?"
Ash stepped forward, held out his hand and said, "The relics of your granddaughter's son."
Relic? Ains looked at the necklace in Ash's hand and fell silent. Then, with a bang, he attracted the attention of Ash and the other three.
A woman in black veil fell to the ground, staring blankly at the necklace in Ash's hand.
Yaxiu raised his eyebrows and Ye Lin frowned, but the reason for their different expressions was the same, because they both saw that this beautiful woman was not a living person.
Einstein also immediately cried out inwardly, "Oh no!" When he first met Ye Lin, his curiosity was focused on Ye Lin's improvement in strength, and he almost forgot that Ye Lin was the Chosen One of the Night God.
However, there is a taboo in the Church of Night, which is that the dead cannot be allowed to rest in peace or be killed!
"Mr. Aines, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation." Ye Lin said coldly. This made Ya Xiu look at her, because he rarely saw Ye Lin so angry.
Einz sighed and said without making any excuses: "There is nothing to say. I couldn't bear to see my only granddaughter die like this, so I bound her soul and made her live as a ghost."
Ye Lin glanced at Karishan: "Do you know?"
Karisan shrugged: "Of course I know, otherwise how can I make clothes for her? Hey, don't say I didn't tell you, protecting the privacy of customers is the code of business."
Ye Lin looked at Einstein: "What do you want to do? I can't just ignore it."
Ash, who was standing by, secretly asked Carissa, "Why didn't Ainez just find someone with the power of life to revive his granddaughter? He should be able to do it, right?"
"That's impossible." Carisan shook her head. "If resurrection were that easy, the world would be much more than this."
Karisan explained in detail that there are three requirements for resurrection:
1. Soul and Flesh Still Exist
II. The Power of Life and Death
3. Accidental Death
The first point is easy to solve, as the soul and flesh are still easy to preserve. The second point becomes extremely difficult, as it requires two or one demigod with the power of life and death to preside over it. However, the demigod of life and the demigod of death have always had a bad relationship. You can imagine how difficult it is to persuade the two to take action together at the same time.
But this is not a difficult task for Einstein, after all, the circle is there.
The third point that was really difficult for him was accidental death.
Resurrection cannot save those who have reached the end of their life span, and Katyusha's life span has already run out. In her early years, the Immovable Monk cursed her family to die young, and her life span is several times that of an ordinary person.
And she herself did not have a very good talent for spiritual practice, so she died of old age, a natural death.
"Her soul should have been annihilated, after all, the end of life is more than the death of the body." Carisan said, "But he spent a lot of money to extend her soul's lifespan a little bit, and asked me to customize clothes to nourish her soul, so she is still half-alive now."
Ash glanced at Einz and Ye Lin who were on edge and said, "Is there any solution?"
Karisan thought for a moment and said, "It's difficult. Her body and soul are full of curses. If she wants to be resurrected, she must first remove the curse. Otherwise, even if she is resurrected according to the normal steps, she will not live for more than a few minutes."
"I guess Einstein is also stuck at this step."
"Then I'll try." Ash nodded slightly.
After saying that, he took a step forward and walked up to the beautiful woman.
His behavior immediately attracted the attention of Einstein and Ye Lin.
Ash placed the necklace in the beautiful woman's hand and said, "This is your son's relic, keep it."
"Thank you." The beautiful woman clasped her hands together and hugged the necklace.
Ash shook his head and said sincerely, "You're welcome, because I was the one who killed your son."
Stunned and shocked!
Everyone looked at Ash in disbelief. No, how could he say this in front of a mother who had just suffered the pain of losing her son?
Katyusha raised her head and looked at Ash wearing a mask. There was astonishment, sadness, and pain in her eyes, but in the end, it all turned into helplessness: "Thank you for killing him."
"You don't hate me?" Yaxiu asked. Even at such a close distance, he didn't feel any hostility from the beautiful woman.
"Family members know their own business. As a mother, I know my son very well." Katyusha shook her head. "I will not be surprised that he will die, nor will I blame others for killing him."
"That's good." Ash nodded, "Then let's move on to the next topic. Do you want to live, or do you want to go to the Styx?"
"Let's go to the River Styx. There is nothing in this world that can keep me alive." Katyusha said.
Ash looked at Aines: "Sir Aines, what do you think?"
"I won't agree to that." Aines looked at Ash deeply and said, "She is still young and has so many things to enjoy. I won't let her die like this."
Einstein took a deep breath and said, "She had a very hard life. She fell into poverty at a young age, which led to misfortune in both her childhood and adulthood. When I found her, she had married a gambler and had given birth to Gray, the bastard. Her family was unhappy."
"Her life was too miserable. I won't let her go until she can experience the happiness of life again."
'is that so?'
Ash nodded slightly and looked at Katyusha, who was glowing with more than 80% white light: "I'm sorry, we still need your grandfather's help, so I can only let you live. And it's really unfair for such a good woman like you to die so young."
After saying this, Ash pointed his finger at Katyusha's forehead, ready to try to lift the curse.
This made Einstein anxious: "What are you doing!"
He wanted to rush over to stop Ash, but Ye Lin blocked his way and said coldly, "Stop, this is your only chance. Either you let Ash rescue you and live or die, it all depends on fate, or I will kill her directly and send her back to the Styx!"
Karisan also stood beside Ye Lin: "Ain't, you better wait."
Seeing Carissane and Yelin standing in front of him together, Aines knew that he couldn't stop Ash.
"If you fail, you can find someone else! I'm not in the mood anyway." Einz finally said coldly.
"It doesn't matter." Carissa shrugged. The four or five days that Ash mentioned was the result of him fighting all the time. If there were any accidents, he could still delay the time and allow them to find the third chosen one.
Beside him, Ash looked at Katyusha and raised his eyebrows. The curse of early death was rooted in concepts. No wonder Einstein was helpless. After all, he was not an ordinary demigod who could only use his own concepts. It was impossible for him to weave other people's concepts.
However, Ash is able to, with the help of [Four Senses of All Heaven], extract the concept of any object, the difference is just a matter of ease or difficulty.
The curse rooted in the concept of Katyusha was a bit difficult for him to draw, but it was still within his tolerance.
However, the curse has been lifted, but there is still one problem: where is Katyusha's body?
Ash looked around and found a corpse underground, whose body shape matched Katyusha's.
The soil surged, lifting out a skeleton.
When Ash absorbed Katyusha's soul onto the skeleton and was about to revive it with flesh and blood, something strange happened. The skeleton suddenly turned into ashes, and then an unpleasant laugh sounded:
"Hehehe, Einstein, you never imagined that even if you remove the curse, without someone to rely on, your granddaughter will forever be a ghost, unable to see the light of day!"
"Wilic!" When Einz heard the voice, he immediately let out an angry roar. Wilic, the chosen one of Tzeentch, was also Einz's enemy.
Unfortunately, this was just an automatically triggered message. After saying that, Willich didn't say anything else.
This made Ash frown, because he didn't notice the sign of Willich's corpse turning into ashes, otherwise he would not have no reaction.
Einstein also knew it, and looked at Ash and Katyusha's soul in his hand, and growled: "Give her back to me!"
"Don't worry, I didn't say he can't be saved." Ash glanced at Einstein, and his body suddenly exploded, turning into blood mist and merging into Katyusha's body.
【Dragon Blood Reincarnation】
If you don’t have a body, just recreate it.
Under the gazes of the remaining three people, Katyusha's body gradually became "alive". The sounds of blood flowing, heart beating, and breathing from the mouth and nose all indicated that she was coming back to life.
However, they knew that the real difficulty was the curse rooted in the concept. If the curse was not removed, Katyusha would only be alive for a few more minutes.
"No need to look, I have lifted the curse." Ash's voice sounded from the side, and the three turned to look at Ash who appeared again.
Picking up the mask that had fallen to the ground, Ash put it back on: "Okay, Mr. Aines, what are you going to do next? Let Katyusha live with this painful memory, or seal the memory and start over?"
"Is her curse really lifted?" Einstein asked.
Ash pinched Katyusha's face: "Isn't this obvious?"
According to him, several minutes had passed when he teleported his clone back. If the curse was really going to take effect, it should have happened a long time ago.
"How did you do it?" Einstein asked.
"It's a secret." Ash shrugged. "All you need to know is that her curse has been lifted."
Einstein looked at Ash seriously and asked, "Who are you?"
"My name is Ash, that's all." Ash said calmly, "Let's talk about your granddaughter. Should we let her live with the painful memories of the past, or modify her memories and start over?"
"She lives with her memories. The True Wisdom Doctrine does not allow me to modify her memories." Einz shook his head.
"Okay." Ash nodded. "Second question, you also noticed that she used my blood when I created her body, so she is already my follower. Then, you should be able to agree to her working for me, right?"
"I agree. I have to repay the favor of saving my life." Einstein took a deep breath, "But I won't allow her to get hurt again, so please allow me to stay with her."
"It's up to you." Ash waved his hand. "After the death arena is over, you and her will go to my hometown together. Someone will arrange for her to start a new life. Is that okay?"
"No problem." Einstein said.
"That's it." Ash looked at Katyusha who had come back to her senses. "Katyusha, how do you feel?"
Katyusha hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Very good."
Just from the sound of that powerfully beating heart, she felt that this body was much stronger than before, and there was no sense of difficulty in controlling it, as if this body belonged to her.
"That's good." Ash nodded, "Then please stay quiet for a few days and think about what you want to do in your future life."
"You are no longer the same person as you were before, so seal the pain you suffered in the past deep in your heart."
Ash's tone seemed to carry a magical power, making Katyusha nod in confusion.
[Demon Words], [Word Spirit], plus the suppression of the followers by the master, were enough for him to plant a hint in Katyusha.
Einz's words were very clear. He was restricted by doctrine and could not seal Katyusha's memory, but that did not mean that others could not do so.
The fact that Einstein did not stop him at this time is the best proof. As a chosen one of God, it is impossible for him not to feel something in Ash's words.
"Okay, go back to the house and stay there." Ash said, "You need to rest."
"Oh." Katyusha obediently went back to the house.
