Chapter 410 Characteristics of Evil Energy
Chapter 410 Characteristics of Evil Energy
The sudden change alarmed the entire academy, and all the students fainted. This was the first time in the hundreds of years of history of Ash Academy.
In fact, not only the students, but also a considerable number of silver-level instructors showed symptoms of fainting. After testing, the gold-level medical instructors concluded that this was a mental shock that tended towards shock and dizziness.
Under the premise that the initiator has no killing intention, the mental shock is in a harmless stage and basically will not leave any sequelae. However, once such a powerful mental fluctuation becomes offensive, it will be easy to shatter the soul of an A-level student.
"Quickly transfer the academy's direct corps here!"
"Immediately borrow a medical sin magician from the noble mansion!"
"Teacher Gold canceled his vacation and came back to take charge."
The principal of Ash Academy stood in front of the fountain and directed the situation. He paced back and forth, looking back with a complicated expression. The place where the Imperial Sword had originally stood was now empty.
In this era, the emperor's power has been replaced by the Obsidian Council. To want to make a call and get everyone to follow and accomplish the feat of restoration is nothing less than a daydream.
If it had happened a few decades ago, the Imperial Sword's recognition of its master would have been enough to plunge the entire empire into turmoil, but now that the extraction tower has been fully established, the birth of a new sword master is only symbolic.
Even so, this news cannot be concealed at all. Before dark, all the nobles and the Burning Iron Legion of the empire will become "witnesses". After all, the first emperor once brought great hope and glory to the land under his feet.
The real problem at the moment is that the Society of the End is not an organization that is isolated from the outside world, just like the Theocracy.
"Hurry up!"
"Recall the golden mentors, and not a single one of the ten must be left behind!"
The principal showed an anxious attitude, lest the tutors take it lightly. If a surprise attack was launched at this time, the fainted students would surely suffer heavy casualties. It was no wonder that he was making a fuss. A small half of the students were of noble birth. If something went wrong, it would affect all aspects of the empire.
An instructor rushed to the medical room in a panic, carrying two students. With a bang, the student on his left hit his head on sharp gravel, leaving a wound.
The instructor's face froze. In fact, when the S-level students arrived at the academy, the school had already prepared a receptionist in advance, but because the train was attacked on the way, it was delayed and the two sides were unable to meet up accurately.
The principal looked down at the blood dripping on the ground, was silent for a moment, then jumped off the broken stone seat with a look of rage on his face and grabbed the reception tutor by the collar.
"Damn it! How did you provoke that guy?"
The principal roared in the face and killed the fusion of the Cardinal and Emperor Yuan Gui, which showed that the new S-level combat power was already in the first tier below the strongest. When it came to fighting, even he didn't dare to say that he would definitely win. Such a dangerous target could not be treated too cautiously.
The reception instructor hesitated and was almost speechless. He couldn't just say that S-level looked down on the Imperial Sword and hurt the students' self-esteem on the spot. The principal naturally didn't care about the reputation, but he failed to achieve gold and usually had to get along with the students on a daily basis.
The principal was furious, but suddenly he seemed to remember something, his expression became calm, and he asked, "Where is the S-class now?"
"It should be..." The receptionist said uncertainly, "Wanyuan Tomb. I saw him and Sylvia going there."
The principal seemed to be thinking about something. He knew that S-level was not for sin magicians. Under the current circumstances, it was probably because Sylvia gave up the spot. He knew every intricacies of the process.
"The relationship seems to be pretty good."
boom!
Outside the school gate, someone rushed towards the gate holding a ball of crystal bombs and finally successfully detonated it. As soon as the incident happened, other forces immediately sent out assassins to test it. The sin magicians use hatred as energy, and there are many people who fall into depravity every day, and the fallen sin magicians often cause large-scale destruction.
The principal left his spot and walked straight towards the door.
As long as he and the Golden Mentor show up, some insignificant temptations and suspicions are just trivial matters.
In comparison, the principal is more worried about how to deal with the S-level. It is difficult to make a big deal out of defeating all the students during the combat drill.
……
at the same time.
The Ash Mansion behind the academy.
The surface of the castle-like building was covered with protruding blood vessel-like lines, from which pure hateful energy flowed, supplying the entire academy along the alchemical pipelines and spreading outward, serving as the energy source for the daily operation of the holy city.
Less than a quarter of an hour after the battle simulation ended, the surrounding damaged buildings had been mostly restored, and the collapsed roof of the teaching building became neat and new. Because of sufficient supplies, the buildings inside and outside the college were made of memory metal and could repair themselves automatically.
Lady Ashes led the way and introduced: "The Ten Thousand Abyss Tomb is right below the Ashes Mansion. The mansion itself is the location of the Tactical Department's activities. The growth rate of sin energy here is quite fast, and there are collection mentors stationed there for a long time, so it is very safe."
Lady Cinder knocked on the door of the guard room in the testing area and waited for a moment but there was no response. The Collection Teacher was obviously not there at the moment, and he probably ran to the central lawn to clean up the mess.
Jiang He walked through the testing area and asked casually, "Teacher Huang Jin has left his post without permission. What should we do if an external enemy sneaks in to attack?"
The two walked side by side and came to the central meeting place of the mansion. Lady Ash pointed around and answered, "Although this is the energy supply center of the Holy City, it is also the tomb of the Sinner. After the sin energy below explodes, it is enough to corrupt most of the gold. The bound Abyss Ghosts are difficult to move, and the academy is a rare memory metal building."
Lady Ash turned around and smiled, "If an attack can bury a hostile gold, it is completely worth it from a cost perspective."
"Where is your father?" Jiang He said.
A brief moment of silence.
Lady Ashes' smile disappeared, and she shrugged, as if she didn't care, "Seven years ago, the Theocracy, the Empire, and the End Society started a full-scale war. The End Society suffered the least losses, and the number of fallen angels should have been almost complete by now."
"My father killed the strongest judge of the Church, and was forced to the point of being corrupted. He is now sleeping in the Tomb of Ten Thousand Abysses, which is the third level. Only the strongest can enter."
Lady Cinder sighed a little and said, "From the hatred of humans for the Abyss Demons, the Abyss Demons were born - the Abyss Demons of the Abyss."
"My father is the Abyss Sin Master who has a contract with it. Dealing with the Abyss Ghost is like a human killer dealing with humans."
"This Ten Thousand Abyss Tomb was built with him as the core. Even if he can get rid of his corruption one day, there will be countless people who will prevent the Sin Master of the Abyss from escaping. The benefits of the Holy City Energy Supply Center are too huge. The city walls and the memory structure of the academy are all derived from it. Moreover, this is just the most superficial part."
The two came to the center of the venue, and Lady Cinder took out an authority card. After activating the golden sin energy, the light from the card scattered and aligned with the hidden depressions in the surrounding walls one by one.
Click!
The ground split open to both sides, and the two men fell from mid-air, with the whistling wind in their ears.
Lady Ash deliberately tilted her head to observe someone's expression, but unfortunately, there was still nothing on that person's handsome face. "Are you paralyzed?" she asked curiously.
"I don't know." Jiang He answered perfunctorily, "It's not obsessive-compulsive disorder anyway."
Lady Ash's face darkened and she stopped talking.
After free falling for three minutes, the two men landed with a bang.
It was pitch black all around, with meaningless roars and mutterings mixed together, and a peculiar smell of decay and decay permeating everywhere. It wasn't pungent, but it made people feel a sting in the head.
"Gold is safe here for an hour." Lady Ash ignited the torch. "As for the A-level students, they will die if they come down. Their transformation into demons is irreversible."
As the fire spread out, Jiang He saw three or four thousand crosses, each of which had a ghost tied to it. The palms, chests, throats, and thighs of these inhuman creatures were all pierced by bronze nails with dark surfaces.
"Generally speaking, the upper limit of Abyss Ghosts and Sin Magicians is ordinary gold." Lady Ash said: "Some beings who find a way to merge from the contract can shape the Heart of the Abyss and become the strongest."
"Among these creatures, there are seven Abyssal Ghosts that have reached the pinnacle of the strongest. The former Future Sin Master judged that when the seven become one, the world's first Golden Peak will be born."
"Each of the seven-headed demons symbolizes a primitive sin that is rooted in the human heart. All hatred inevitably originates from this."
"Today, Envy has fallen. It may take several hundred years for Envy to return. Of course, the thinking and consciousness of Envy at that time will be completely different from that of the previous generation. And Anger has been sealed, which means that there are still five world-destroying level abyss ghosts roaming the world."
Lady Ash said solemnly, "Moreover, it is most likely in human form, perhaps hiding in a corner of a city... Wait, what are you doing!?"
In front of a cross, Jiang He easily pulled out the bronze nail from Yuan Gui's body. Under the control of Dan Jin and supreme self-control, his energy flowed out and tightly covered the complex alchemical patterns on the surface of the bronze nail.
The power of gluttony was in operation, devouring the energy of sin and transforming it into the most basic supernatural factor. The alarm and resistance that should have erupted violently were eliminated invisibly.
Among the group of Abyss Ghosts, each one looks different. The Abyss Ghost on the cross in front of him looks like a tomato, round in shape and bright red in appearance.
Jiang He caught the prey with one hand. It turned out that the old priest was not joking. There really was a Tomato Abyss ghost in the Ashes Academy.
Under the extremely astonished gaze of Lady Ash, Jiang He brought the Tomato Ghost to his mouth, took a bite, and the juice splashed everywhere. The taste was sour and sweet, which was in line with the inherent impression of humans.
A very light chewing sound was heard in the grave.
The underground space that was noisy just now gradually became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Countless gazes came over, and most of the Silver Abyss Ghosts showed clear fear, while a dozen or so Golden Abyss Ghosts were filled with fear.
"How does your... taste?"
The Lady of Ashes tried hard to organize her words. The Abyss Ghost could basically ignore the weapons of the old era and was immune to a large amount of physical damage. The Sin Warlock could cause full damage because their sin energy was of the same origin, thus becoming a privileged person in the Age of Ashes.
But so far, this was the first time she saw someone swallow a Yuan ghost alive, and such a thing had never been heard of.
Jiang He ate the tomato ghost clean and gave an objective evaluation: "The life level of the food is not low. The body instinctively craves higher nutrition, which is reflected in the taste."
Upon hearing this, Lady Cinder looked at a fruit-like Abyss Demon. A faint sense of crisis emerged in her heart. Her instinct told her that if she chose to feast on the fruit, her degree of depravity would be greatly deepened. It was obvious that people were different.
[Hint: You are corroded by sin]
[Hint: The flawless soul is activated, and the evil erosion has been exempted]
[Hint: You have awakened to the energy nature of sin]
[Tip: The current level of sin energy is excellent LV1]
[Hint: Your energy value +200]
[Silver Energy Value: 17201]
Jiang He's eyes changed.
Lady Ashes took two steps back and warned, "We can still report it as an accident. No one will hold you or me responsible for the Tomato Abyss Ghost, but we must not act recklessly. The Ten Thousand Abyss Tomb is one of the foundations of the empire."
Jiang Hemu narrowed his eyes and persuaded: "I will eat all the abyssal ghosts here, and then restore your father's condition. With the fighting power of the three of us, it is definitely not hopeless to leave the Holy City."
As soon as the words fell, the surroundings seemed to fall into deathly silence.
Lady Ash frowned, a trace of struggle evident on her face.
After a while, she pointed at the walls around the tomb and said, "I don't know the specific layout, but there must be a self-destruction ritual here. Considering the worst case scenario, the upper limit is likely to be the strongest, and multiple abyss ghosts can be transferred at once. The alarm system is not for show. I won't risk my life with you."
Jiang He remained noncommittal. The other party's implication was that as long as they could handle the self-destruction ritual and the alarm system, the matter would be negotiable. But in his opinion, he really couldn't tell the difference between the big and small kings, and no one was begging this guy to cooperate.
"Then forget it."
Lady Ash had a cold expression and said nothing.
Under the dim firelight, Jiang He strolled leisurely among the cemeteries. Whenever he passed a cross, the abyss ghosts would lower their heads tacitly. The sight of their own kind being eaten alive aroused the instinctive resistance and fear of these intelligent creatures.
Cockroach Abyss Ghost——Silver Peak: Possessing strong reproductive ability and environmental adaptability.
Cat's Abyss Demon——Silver Elite: Possessing outstanding nerve reflexes and remarkable body flexibility.
Mirror Abyss Demon - Gold Normal: Has the ability to reflect and copy enemy energy attacks at the same level.
Dream Abyss Demon - Gold Normal: Has the ability to invade the dreams of those it contacts and thereby cause actual damage.
Due to the short stay, the executive officer's exclusive module was unable to obtain accurate information, but the module gave a serious reminder about the contract link:
First of all, there is only one contracted abyss ghost.
Secondly, a fit below 20% will cause backlash.
Secondly, during the contract process, the sinner needs to defeat the target abyss ghost in the spiritual world. Failure means fall.
Then, the sinner uses the power of the Abyss Demon with high intensity in a short period of time to fight, which easily accumulates the power of hatred.
Finally, the greater the gap in status between the Sin Master and the Abyss Demon, the higher the possibility of direct degeneration.
Jiang He's gaze only lingered on the Golden Abyss Ghost. He felt that by contracting to the Silver Level, he was simply looking for a burden.
Dreams and Mirrors are not taken into consideration. Apart from those, Frost, Loneliness and Ghost are not outstanding in terms of numbers, but he has no shortage of fancy tricks.
Finally, Jiang He came to a golden ghost that looked like a clock.
