2022-05-01/p> Chapter 139 The Curse of Apophis

“The Sword of Apophis, the Sword of the Demon King…”

Roy exclaimed, “The devil is almost the mortal enemy of human beings, does Sidonia really dare to put this sword in the Altar of Heroes without sealing it up?”

God’s Heart With a chuckle: “Arcane Items are not made by manpower. Sidonia’s current Arcane Items are all obtained from various fortuitous encounters, Secret Realm or wars.

” Arcane Items aside, it is not uncommon for Arcane Items plundered from wars to invade other Small Worlds, and Apophis is just one of them.

“Humans who have survived in harsh environments do not care about the past of these Arcane Items. They understand that power is not divided into good and evil, and if necessary, they can also be seen in the eyes of other races” Devil’.”

“That’s really… pragmatism.” Roy put out a breath, then looked towards the evil black golden long sword in front of him.

“So, since it is the Arcane Item that you recommended, what’s so special about it?”

God’s Heart replied: “The target hurt by Apophis, His wounds will never heal, and he will suffer the curse of Apophis.

“The curse continues to erode the life and soul of the target until death, and it cannot be dispelled.

“And after the user “liberates” Apophis’s true power, it doesn’t need to hit the target, it can also target and make it suffer a more powerful curse.

“This is its main ability. The target eroded by Apophis’ power will eventually be destroyed, so it is called the Sword of Destruction.”

Roy was stunned: “The curse that cannot be dispelled, continuously erodes the opponent’s life and soul, and can even designate opponents out of thin air. Isn’t it equivalent to directly sentence the opponent to death?”

” This is a law sword, its effect is close to the Divine Item!”

“Divine Item? Not so.” God’s Heart laughed, “I haven’t said its shortcomings. Yes—

“The user of Apophis will suffer the same curse. “

Roy: “? “

What self-destruct truck!

Should it be the devil’s Arcane Item, this is the first time he sees the Arcane Item that debuffs his users.

“Of course, as a user of Apophis, the curse you suffer is not serious, it’s just the aftermath of the energy escaping from it. “

God’s Heart explained, “For demons, their special life structure allows them to withstand the backlash of the sword, but not humans.

“Although it’s just a stray aftermath, it’s a slow, lethal poison to the weak, and once Apophis is truly liberated, the curse of its backlash can even cause the death of the user.

“But you are an exception, Roy, after merging with me, your physical strength and mental strength have far surpassed that of ordinary people, and now you are enough to withstand the curse of Apophis. “

After listening to God’s Heart’s words, Roy sighed: “The Demon Sword that can make the user die is indeed worthy of the name of the Sword of Destruction.”

“But I just paid one third of my lifespan half a year ago, and now you’ve tricked me into signing a contract with this Demon Sword.

“God’s Heart, you really dislike my life. long. Do you just wish that I hiccuped as soon as possible so that I could get rid of it as soon as possible? “

“Don’t try to speculate on me with the human way of thinking.” “God’s Heart said calmly, “For us, a hundred years is just a snap of our fingers, and I don’t care about waiting a little longer.

“And you seem to have confused one thing. Apophis is not eroding your lifespan, but rather your bodily functions.”

“Body functions?” Roy pondered then said, “I remember you saying the difference before.”

God’s Heart nods: “Lifespan and bodily functions, if exhausted, both lead to the demise of life, but both However, there are fundamental differences.

“Take the game of your previous life as an example, the physical function is equivalent to your health bar. When you are injured, the health bar will be reduced, but at the same time there are various recovery. The method of bodily function, the simplest, such as Cleric’s therapy.

“And lifespan is more of a causal theory, it cannot be cured by conventional means, and over time it begins to diminish almost irreversibly.

“When lifespan When the consumption reaches a critical point, your physical function will gradually weaken… Well, it’s like reducing your upper limit of health.

“This is why, in the end, the powerful creatures of the former life force will come to an end, and when the lifespan comes to an end, they will become old and powerless.”

“I get it.” Roy thought for a while and said, “Maybe this is the difference between the Divine Item and the Arcane Item.”

“Apophis can affect the “body function”, so it is the Arcane Item .

“And what you control is the higher level “lifespan”, or “life and death”, so you are the Divine Item. “

God’s Heart nodded: “So, you don’t have to worry that you will be backlashed by Apophis’s curse. Although you are weak now, you still have a part of my power.

“Your current recovery ability is enough to offset the negative effects of Apophis on the user. Of course, you may feel a little uncomfortable and uncomfortable at first.

“But this kind of damage can actually temper your body, speed up the fusion between me and you, and make your cultivation speed faster.

“So, if you crave power, Apophis is the best choice.

“Don’t you humans have this saying: What doesn’t kill you will kill you more powerful. “

God’s Heart finished speaking, and Roy was lost in thought.

Although God’s Heart assured him that his recovery was strong enough to offset the negative effects of Apophis, he could bear it. It’s always a little uncomfortable to carry a curse with you.

It’s like a sword of Damocles hanging over the head, and it always makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

If other Arcane Items can have the same strength as Apophis, then he would rather choose other Arcane Items.

“Apart from Apophis, what other Arcane Items do you recommend? Roy asked cautiously.

The stakes were high, and he had to choose carefully and make choices that he wouldn’t regret.

“Then you might consider this. “

God’s Heart stretched out another hand and pulled another silver one-handed sword to Roy’s eyes.

“The Law Sword Fragge, also known as the Sword of Answer, The sword of Avatar, which has a simple autonomous mind, can respond to the user’s will, wielding it out of thin air to attack the enemy. It can also transform Avatar, each Avatar has the same strength as the body. ”

“Swing out of thin air to attack the enemy? Roy was stunned for a moment. “Zorn’s floating blade seems to be the same. Is there any relationship between the two?” “

“Normal, Sidonia has been trying to build an Arcane Item by themselves, for which they need to parse the capabilities and constructs of existing Arcane Items.” “

God’s Heart replied, “A lot of Ultra Grade Spiritual Artifact’s design inspiration is born out of the research on these Arcane Items.

“You can think of that floating blade as a super low-profile version of the Sword of Law.”

Roy shook the head slightly: “I can use the Judge’s space. The hand can also control the weapon to achieve the effect of attacking out of thin air. The improvement of this law sword is not very big for me, is there any more?”

“Then you can take a look at this Arcane Item… “God’s Heart invites an Arcane Item again.

In this way, Roy listened to God’s Heart to introduce no less than ten Arcane Items in a row, and he was about to finish all the offensive Arcane Items.

“That’s about it.”

God’s Heart both hands crossed near chest, lazily asked, “How is it, do you think Apophis is more powerful in the end? .”

“Indeed.” Roy slowly nodded, his expression a little hesitant.

As expected of the Arcane Item with its own negative effects, Apophis’s strength is indeed much higher than that of the normal offensive Arcane Item.

The Arcane Item with the Arcane Item is standard, even if it is the secondary Arcane Sword Giovaius.

But any offensive Arcane Item is not as exaggerated as Apophis.

A curse that can hardly be dispelled. As long as it gets on it, it will erode and torture people to death. This ability is too perverted.

And God’s Heart also mentioned that Apophis has a special “liberation” form.

In that form, Apophis’ strength will increase again, unleashing even more power.

It can be said that aside from its negative effects, it is the most powerful offensive Arcane Item.

Roy’s face was a little gloomy and uncertain, and he confirmed for the last time: “Are you sure that Apophis will not have an irreversible negative impact on me?”

“Yes Yes.”

God’s Heart nodded, “I can assure you of this, don’t forget, you still have me in your body.”

“You are Sidonia once in a thousand years. God’s envoy, only you are qualified to pick up this Demon Sword.”

“Okay.”

Roy closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly Spit out.

When he opened his eyes again, his eyes had become firm.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. After merging with God’s Heart, he has inevitably embarked on the path of the gods.

In the future, he will not only accept other powerhouse challenges, but also stand up when Sidonia encounters foreign enemies and become the pillar of Sidonia as an envoy.

It can be imagined that although the end of this path is the power and glory of Supreme, there are thorns on the way.

To do this, he needs this sword that can cut through all thorns.

And the reason why he wants power so much is not all for these illusory grand goals.

The riots in the Lower City, the establishment of satellite cities, the invasion of demonic armies, and the appearance of God’s Heart are all signs of a turbulent era of change in Sidonia.

The wheels of the era are rolling forward, running over everyone equally, and no one is immune to it.

Only by improving your strength as much as possible can you protect yourself and the people around you.

As for the negative effects, since God’s Heart has made a package, he is no longer bothered.

He’s not the kind of person who can’t be suspicious, and he’s not someone who can’t bear hardship. If Apophis is the best solution in the Arcane Item——

He will Choose to take up this sword.

“Just choose it.”

After a while of silence, Roy finally spoke, and he raised his hand and reached for the black golden long sword.

“Sign a contract with me, Apophis!”

When his hand touched the hilt of the long sword, everything in front of him instantly darkened.

In the dark, he heard God’s Heart laugh.

“Yes, that’s the kind of awareness you need!”

Roy stood quietly in the darkness. There was a lot of fun in the cockpit, but in a blink of an eye nothing was gone.

However, unlike last time, this time fell into darkness, and one thing didn’t go away.

His right hand was still holding Apophis’s hilt, and he could feel the metal-like coolness coming from the hilt, but then the coolness suddenly turned into a tingling sensation.

No, it wasn’t just the tingling sensation in his hands, his whole body was plagued with excruciating pain in this brief moment.

Rao has Moonshadow’s passive skill “Body Control”, and Roy couldn’t help shaking his body, staggering and half-kneeling on the ground, panting violently with his sword in hand.

This kind of pain that penetrated deep into the bone reminded him of the torture he had seen on TV in a previous life, driving a nail sideways into a prisoner’s fingernail.

Not only the physical pain, but also the torment of the soul. He just felt like he was thrown into the raging fire of karma, and his spirit seemed to be transformed into a raging fire at any time. ash.

God’s Heart of dog days, you lied to me!

Is this “might be a little uncomfortable”? Is this called “maybe a little uncomfortable”?

Roy gasped, the intense pain paralyzed his nerves and nearly made him faint.

Enhanced by God’s Heart, his body strength and spirit strength are already tenacious.

Breaking and repairing at the same time, the two forces rampaged through Roy’s body, breaking everything up and reorganizing everything, the pain driving him to the point of madness.

But even so, he still gritted his teeth and resisted, not asking God’s Heart for help, nor uttering a single moan.

The path is chosen by himself, and he is willing to bear all the pains now.

The tortured time always passed for an unusually long time, and he didn’t know how long, just when his consciousness was about to blur, he suddenly felt Apophis in his hand tremble.

He felt like his body was falling into an ice cellar, and Apophis’s consciousness was intersecting with his Divine Consciousness, trying to build a bridge of communication.

Roy closed his eyes and calmed down, leading Apophis to sign a Soul Contract with him.

The deep purple lines are woven and intertwined in his soul, and finally turned into the shape of a black golden long sword.

At the moment when the long sword was formed, the torment suffered by the body and soul suddenly decreased, and it was suppressed to a very small extent.

Roy felt something in his heart, he opened his eyes, and all the illusions shattered.

At some point, he was the only one left in Altar of Heroes, and the black golden long sword was suspended in front of his eyes.

“You grudge, you just made me suffer.”

Roy twitched the corners of his mouth. He took Apophis and stroked it with love and hate. The sword body pattern with gold edge on black background.

The black air surrounding Apophis fluctuated violently in this brief moment, as if to protest Roy’s dissatisfaction with it.

“It turned out fine, though.”

Roy stood up and took a closer look at his body.

The negative effects of Apophis acting on him are far less exaggerated than they were just now.

Just like tying sandbags to your legs and practicing running, as long as you get used to it for a while, you should be able to subjectively minimize this discomfort.

“Thirteen hours!”

Outside the altar, Des Moines put down the pocket watch in his hand, his tone full of sighs.

Besides him stood Arya, Ye Qingchen and Harvey. They had all completed their tour and left together after Roy finished.

“Mr. Des Moines.”

Arya stared at the tall silhouette in the altar, “What’s the name of that Arcane Item?”

” Its name is Apophis.”

Des Moines also looked at the altar with complicated eyes, “For more than 600 years, no one has ever been the master of this sword of law.

“Roy he, setting a new record. “

Thanks for the rewards of Buzaohan 233, Millennium Knife Shadow, and Taoke!
