MTL - Comprehensive Manga: a Journey Through the Supreme Being-Chapter 13
'This is what it feels like to die...'
Nangong sighed softly in his heart that month, but felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
Her doll-like delicate and beautiful body fell on the ground of nothingness.
After an unknown period of time, Nangong felt the return of consciousness again that month. She opened her hazy eyes blankly and slowly got up from the ground.
The memory before suicide reappeared in her mind. She looked down and saw that her flat chest had no scars at all, not even her clothes were damaged.
Even the countless blood openings that had been cracked on his body were restored to their original appearance.
The obsidian dagger was still thrown at his feet, and the tip of the dagger was stained with blood, which let Nangong Nayue know that everything before was not an illusion.
She did choose suicide, she did die, but she came back to life.
He raised his head again and wanted to meet the terrifying existence, but the stinging pain in his eyes caused by staring at the existence made Nangong almost cry that month.
She quickly lowered her head and sighed softly.
Even death can't choose herself, and now she is really a living doll.
Although in the past, friends she knew laughed and said that she was as delicate and cute as a puppet, but Nangong never thought that one day she would become a puppet.
The so-called master of death and darkness can even reverse life and death, which is reasonable to think about.
"No more resistance?"
That terrifying figure spoke out in words without much human emotion.
Nangong restrained her thoughts that month, she was not the type to give up easily.
"I accept this contract, unknown god!"
This time, Nangong Nayue decisively accepted the contract with the other party.
Since you can't even choose to commit suicide, then challenge this unknown game and sign a contract with him to sell your soul.
Anyway, as a witch, she was going to sell her soul. If so, who would sell her soul to?
What the other party said before is actually not wrong.
Even if it is to sign a contract with the type of demon she knows, the content of the contract is nothing but the witch's wish, and this wish is the capital to maintain the contract.
Now, the content of the contract remains the same, but the demon who contracted with her seems to be even more terrifying, so the power she obtains should theoretically be stronger.
If you think about it, it doesn't seem to be unacceptable.
Nangong laughed at herself that month, thinking that at this time, she could only comfort herself in this way.
The only difference from the past is that if the contract is violated, only the witch herself will pay the price.
But now if she violates the contract, the whole world may pay the price.
What worried and feared Nangong the most that month was actually her wish.
Only by fulfilling your own wishes can you win this game.
But her wish is 'the peaceful coexistence of humans and demons'. This wish is too grand, as if she is looking forward to world peace.
Nangong complained to himself at this time, why did he give birth to such a wish, it was too difficult to fulfill his wish.
However, Nangong Nayue is not someone who gives up easily, she is determined and strong in her mind, which is the most beautiful brilliance of her character.
"I will accept your soul, and the contract is established here!"
"...The avatar I created will give you power, and he will be your guardian and your watcher!"
"If you violate the contract, He will cut off your head, and darkness and death will come to the land where you are!"
That indescribable voice was imprinted in Nangong Nayue's mind, and then Nangong Nayue only felt that his thinking was stretched infinitely and left that treacherous space.
After Nangong disappeared that month, Xixiang, who was sitting on the throne, dissipated his false appearance and revealed his true colors.
Feeling the nourishment nourishing his growth tirelessly, he narrowed his eyes and said, "...Accepting the contract and getting the channel to connect with the world will allow me to gain nutrients for growth."
"...And judging from Nangong's situation that month, the one who will be favored by the invitation letter I issued should be someone who has a strong desire."
"If that's the case, why only Nangong accepted the invitation that month, and the others didn't?"
Xixiang was a little puzzled. His fingertips were playing with Nangong's soul that month, but he couldn't think of a reason.
"Forget it, don't think about it if you don't understand it. Now there is a world that provides nutrition for me, but I can't lose it easily."
Thinking of this, Xixiang followed the road sign provided by Nangong that month, and he completely disappeared in this darkness.
...
Xiandumu Aye paced anxiously at the magic circle of the ceremony, she didn't know what was wrong with the ceremony.
At this moment, the light of magic power radiated again during the ceremony. She looked nervously with her eyes, and she was pleasantly surprised to see that Nangong Nayue's petite figure appeared in the magic circle of the ceremony again.
"That month, what happened, was the ceremony completed? Concubine..."
Xiandumu Aye was about to say something when her tender body trembled.
Because behind Nangong Nayue's puppet-like beautiful body, a terrifying monster formed by a dark fire suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Introduce myself, I am one of the incarnations created by the Maharaja, in charge of the name of 'aging'!"
"...You can call me 'Zarathustra', and that month in Nangong...the secretary's witch!"
The demon formed by the dark flames was polite and very gentle, but his words were full of malice and joy.
Chapter 18 Simulate the star creation map "Avista"!
(It's really troublesome to compare combat power across works, so I'll be the author as the main setting.)
(Unless there is a huge difference in the expressiveness of the two sides, I will not deliberately strengthen or weaken a work.)
Xiandumu Aye's beautiful eyes widened, and she stared in shock at the demon who suddenly appeared behind Nangong Nayue and called himself 'Zarathustra'.
In this secretary witch's impression, the so-called devil is not actually a life with self-will.
Demons are different from Mozu, which is a collective name for many races that really exist in this world.
Vampires, orcs, ghosts, dragons and even elves, whether they are large or sparse, or have perished, these non-human races are collectively referred to as demons.
But the devil is different, the devil is not a race.
Demons are more like a collection of concepts, similar to the mechanism of contracts, and exist in this world like certain established rules.
The witch signed a contract with this mechanism and sold her soul in exchange for power beyond ordinary people.
At the same time, the witch must also abide by the content of the contract, and the power of the devil will manifest as a family and hide in the shadow of the witch.
When the witch obeys the contract, the demon of her family will become part of the witch's power and obey the command of the other party. This is the 'guardian of the witch'.
But when the witch breaks the contract, the guardian becomes the executioner in a blink of an eye.
They will turn witches into real monsters, lose their human form and humanity, and usher in death after a long period of torture.
The witch is absolutely unable to resist the demon of her contract, because the witch's soul has long been held in the hands of the devil.
It is precisely because the devil has no will of himself that Xiandumu Aye was shocked and inconceivable after seeing the 'guardian' behind Nangong Nayue.
In so many witch records throughout the ages, it has never been heard that a witch's guardian has a self-will, nor has it been heard that a demon has a self-will.
The devil is just a rule of thumb.
Because the devil is only a certain rule, there are loopholes. At least Xiandumu Aye has the secret method of lending his guardian to others, and then forcibly signing a contract with the other party.
"That month, what the **** is going on?"
Xiandumu Aye looked at Xixiang vigilantly, and the beauty Lianbu in twelve kimonos moved back a few steps, ready to summon her guardian to fight at any time.
Hearing Xiandumu Aye's words, Nangong Nayue looked a little hesitant.
She knew that Xiandumu Aye was actually asking why her guardian had self-awareness.
Nangong Nayue really didn't know how to explain it. She knew that the prince of death and darkness she saw was definitely not the devil in the impression of witches.
She was also hesitating whether she should tell Xiandumu Aye about such terrifying existence.
Sometimes, the less you know, the safer you are, the less you know, the less trouble you have.
Taking a deep breath, Nangong Nayue's face was calm and calm, and she said in her inarticulate voice: "...It's okay, Ah Ye, just ran into a little trouble."
Seeing that Nangong didn't clarify the situation that month, Xiandumu Aye probably guessed that she has something to hide now.
Taking another look at the gentleman, the demon of flame who looked polite, Xiandumu Aye also nodded slowly, indicating that he knew.
At the same time, Xiandumu Aye also has a strong curiosity and exploration of Xixiang.
As the leader of the LCO, Da Sishu, Xiandumu Aye has the same thirst for knowledge as the members of the LCO.
Like Nangong Nayue's strange guardian situation, she also has a mentality to explore.
The demon's body formed of jet-black flames was completely different from the guardians of the witches.
Compared to the guardians of witches, this monster is actually more like a demon that people pass on by word of mouth.
"If there's anything else, it's better to talk about it later. Nangong still has the secretary of the witch Xiandumu Aye that month."
"...It seems that I stole the contract halfway and caused a problem with a certain mechanism. I want to take this contract away."
Listening to Xixiang say these inexplicable words, whether it is Nangong Nayue or Xiandumu Aye is at a loss.
But the next moment, they knew the meaning of Xixiang's words.
I saw the ritual magic circle used by Nangong that month to sign a contract with the devil, and at this time it once again shone with a strong and substantial brilliance.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a tall, golden-stained 'knight' appeared in the magic circle, and his body was made up of mechanical gears!
"This is... a guardian? No, it's a real demon!"
When Xiandumu Aye saw the golden knight who appeared, her complexion changed greatly, and she finally recognized his true face.
That inhuman magic power, like a 'knight'-like posture, is exactly what Xiandumu Aye is familiar with and what the guardians of all witches have.
But the magic power emanating from this guardian is too huge, so huge that it exceeds Xiandumu Aye's cognition of the guardian.
"Magical power of such intensity is almost the same as that of the true ancestor's beast... No, even if it is a single true ancestor's beast, there is no such powerful magic power!"
Although Xiandumu Aye was surprised by the magical power of the golden guardian in front of her, she still stood in front of Nangong Nayue without hesitation to protect her.
In Xiandumu Aye's view, Nangong, who had just become a real witch, was not able to use the witch's power proficiently that month.
What makes Xiandumu Aye strange is that since Nangong had a guardian that month, why would there be a new guardian here?
Although the Familiar Beast of the True Ancestor is powerful, it is terrifying like a disaster.
But the Beast of the True Ancestor is not invincible.
If the three true ancestors who have lived for an unknown number of years are here, Xiandumu Aye is naturally not an opponent.
However, if it is just a monster with the magic power of the true ancestor's beast, but without self-will, then Xiandumu Aye can also protect Nangong's comprehensiveness that month.
Combat is not a competition of magic power, but also requires sufficient skills and experience.
Even if the True Ancestor's Familiar Beast is handed over to an ordinary person to command, that ordinary person would not be able to face an excellent Magic Attacker except to use the Familiar Beast to destroy it.
On the contrary, a good magician can take advantage of various external conditions to kill the ordinary person.
'This guardian, or the devil, should be the one that Nangong signed a contract with that month. ’
'...Because of my appearance, the contract was accidentally intercepted, causing problems with the ceremony, so it appeared to want to kill me and take back the contract? ’
Xixiang could see that the golden knight was coming for him at all.
'Xandumu Aye said that this guardian has magic power comparable to or even surpassing the true ancestor's beasts. Well, he probably understands the level of the true ancestor's beasts. ’
A single True Ancestor Beast, probably at the level of an elite monster in Yggdrasills.
Don't talk about him, any guardian in the Great Tomb of Nazarick can handle it.
The only thing that makes people feel troublesome is that according to Xixiang's understanding, the destructive power of these True Ancestor's beasts is a bit strong, and the lethality is a bit wide.
But if a group of monsters of this level appeared, Saigo would also have a headache.
It's not that he has never grouped monsters, but the monsters in his group are all unconscious NPCs, just like the guardian in front of him.
But if these Beasts are controlled by someone, such as a True Ancestor, it will probably be a tougher enemy.
‘We used to fight against this monster group in teams. ’
