Chapter 438 Mirror of Rebellion
like a ghost.
When Bernardino turned to leave and was about to find the tower owner, a twisted "human figure" suddenly appeared in front of him.
——It was described by the word [human form], and it seemed a bit reluctant monster.
He has no hair, not even hands, and can only judge that he has legs by "he is standing".
He wears a faceless black mask with an "Alpha" symbol drawn in red. The symbol was shimmering red. He was wearing a jet-black cloak, and his overly slender and slender body was like a ghostly figure, tied into a long strip by the tightly retracted cloak.
It was like a living column rising from the silt all over the black tower.
But seeing this human figure, the young Bernardino raised his mouth.
He squinted his eyes and bowed deeply to the man, and made a slow, polite and artificial voice: "My Lord Hugo... long time no see."
"...Long time no see, Bell."
Somewhat unexpected.
After a moment of silence, a young voice came out from under the black mask: "I haven't seen you for about ten years."
"After all, you have nurtured a lot of amazing young people."
Bernardino narrowed his eyes and said calmly and melodiously.
With his tan curly hair reaching shoulder-to-shoulder, he looks like a noble man if he doesn't look at the horrific tattoos on his skin, composed of countless alchemy runes.
Who would have known he was the son of a fisherman?
A despicable person who has a humble status and will do anything to achieve his goals.
An idiot who lost all the token that Father Ludwig, who was his teacher, adoptive father, and benefactor, and the money he had accumulated over the years to give him as travel expenses and school fees.
A person who can't do anything well and can only sell his soul in exchange for a chance to change his destiny... a futile waste. It has been over a hundred years, and it is the undoubted "laggard" who has finally officially started to explore the extraordinary path.
And standing in front of him, who had lost his physical body, was the young and promising son of the tower who was less than half his age back then.
The arrogant son that everyone is looking forward to.
A genius wizard who successfully advanced to the silver rank at the age of seventeen.
The one who saved himself from the unfortunate hell... his only friend.
Of course, since the forty-three-year-old Bernardino met the seventeen-year-old Hugo... He has been unable to look directly at the brilliance of Hugo.
Hugo was his only friend.
——But he wasn't Hugo's only friend, and he didn't even know if he was the other's friend. Or is it just... a random mercy? Or alms to the poor?
But now, everything has been reversed.
What kind of creature is the "Tower Master"... He has long understood.
Poor worm like a hermit crab.
[Tower] Leaving the tower owner still exists, but the tower owner left the tower... How many years can he live?
In Bernardino's view, that was undoubtedly unfree.
- more than not free.
It is simply a sacrifice of voluntary sacrifice.
The mission of each generation of tower owners is to cultivate the next generation of heirs, and it is also a contract formed between the tower owner and the tower. And after the heir is qualified to inherit the [tower], the tower owner will put all his soul and curse into the heir's body and become one with the other party's soul.
It's more like a "group" than a single person.
Twenty-four wizard towers, brought from the East by the mysterious lady, have always been like this, passed down from generation to generation.
Like "Old Face", the monster's lair.
Now, Bernardino is about to break the cycle.
He wants to directly split and kidnap the soul belonging to Hugo, and completely end the succession ceremony of the wizard tower!
And Hugo couldn't do anything about it.
Have you really escaped from hell?
Maybe not.
—Because he is hell itself.
The corners of Bernardino's mouth rose: "How do you feel when you see me here?"
"to be frank,
not too good. "
Under the mask, Hugo made a young, cheerful and gentle voice like a teenage poet.
"I feel it, this is Sir Isaac's [inertia]... You dug up his grave too?"
"I prepared it just for you, Hugo."
Bernardino said flatly: "You told me yourself back then. Isaac was the founder of the transformation school, the greatest transformation wizard, and the last alchemist.
"All transformation spells that use Isaac's model—that is, the concepts of 'transformation', 'pre-transformation' and other concepts as the underlying framework, are extensions of Isaac's elements, and all cannot escape from what he denied. Destiny. And now at least 90% of the transformation spells come from his invention.
"Even if you are now a firestealer of the Prometheus school, you started out as a transformation wizard after all.
"Give it up, Hugo...you have no chance of winning. If you are willing to surrender, I will stop attacking your students. Even if I don't take the initiative to attack them, as long as we fight, the other creatures in the tower will too. die here."
He didn't come for the many spines in the wizard's tower.
certainly.
If too much power is lost here... He doesn't care to replenish the reserves here.
But Bernardino didn't expect it.
After a brief silence, Hugo suddenly asked:
"—Are you in a hurry?
"Are you running away from the Bell Ringer? Or Sir Silver?"
Hearing this, Bernardino's complexion suddenly turned gloomy.
He took a deep look at Hugo, and then took a long breath.
Unexpectedly, he replied: "Silver Sir can't attack me. He will even help me stop the Bell Ringer's pursuit...because I can't die at their hands."
"why?"
"—Because I am [Mirror]."
Bernardino replied slowly: "I am the fifth egg sheath of [Light of the Seventh Luminary]."
Hugo paused for a moment.
The red symbol on his face flashed suddenly.
"...The light of the seventh light is coming? So the virtual world is about to invade?"
"He has come, but the mirror has not broken, so he has not awakened."
The corners of Bernardino's mouth slowly raised, but the smile on his face began to dissipate.
"—[Fate is the wheel of the sky train]. The sky train has not yet passed, and my destiny has not yet been finalized... Then why can't I fight against my destiny?
"I have been with the crowd for 40 years, but I was awakened by a nightmare. I know that this is the fate that should not be confronted the most, and the light of the seventh light is the sky train... But I just want to do this, even if I can't in my life. What about sublimation?
"If I can finish the sublimation before the fourth mirror shatters, my fate can be changed.
"Once in a lifetime, I want to fight my destiny. Even if this time it might affect the whole world... it doesn't matter."
He looked at the monster with the voice of "Hugo" and said slowly: "It's not Bernardino the 'Spiritual Monk' standing in front of you. It's the future god of death Bernardino.
"I'm a god, or the world's mourner. Other than that, there's no other choice."
I am different now than I was before.
I am a big man.
is an amazing person.
A man who decides the fate of the world.
——At the same time, it is also a rebellious pawn.
Bernardino looked at Hugo and declared, "In order to accomplish my great deed... I must have your flame.
"Do your best to resist me, Hugo."
