"Use a natural object to expel the avatar of the Lord of Flameless. That's our only chance."
A weak yet familiar voice traveled through the barrier of space and reached Angor's ears.
Angor looked up and saw Bobota lying on the ground, quietly looking at him. His face was covered in blood, but Angor could see that his eyes were shining brightly.
"A natural object is different from a man-made one. It doesn't require a complicated ritual. All you need to do is stain it with your blood and sincerely call its master's name, and it will answer you."
"This is our last chance," Bobota said.
Bobota had a hopeful look on his face. "You should know that only another demon god can defeat a demon god."
Earlier, Bobota tried to use a natural object to summon the Lord of Abyss, but he failed in the end. At that moment, Bobota believed that his fate was sealed. He allowed his body to slowly crumble and his consciousness to fall into the abyss of darkness.
Until Bobota saw the object that fell from Angor's body.
Hope rekindled in Bobota's heart.
The exquisite statue of the Scholar of Cruelty was not a man-made object. It was a natural one!
A natural object could directly contact a demon god and even invite the demon god's consciousness to come to them! Bobota quickly realized that this was their only chance.
Without hesitation, he contacted Angor.
In his mind, Angor was already suffering so much pain that he almost died at the hands of the Lord of Flameless. Surely, Angor would jump at the chance to survive.
Angor was not in a good condition right now. His bones were dislocated, his body was twisted, and his organs were severely damaged. Without outside help, he would not live for long.
Therefore, Angor should use a natural object to save himself.
But to Bobota's surprise, Angor did not do anything. Angor's eyes, expression, and every inch of his body seemed to be saying "no".
"Why? That's our only chance! "
"Don't you want to save yourself? Or, do you wish … that stupid Young Flame Demon to die here? "
Angor lowered his head in silence.
"Alright, even if the Flameless Lord won't act against an ant, he might not kill you in the end. But as you can see, he's already interested in you. Even if He doesn't kill you, He won't let you go. Do you understand? The interest of a demon god isn't something that can be eliminated so easily! "
"Even if you are lucky enough to survive, once you fall into his hands, you will realize that perhaps it is better to die than to live like this."
"Use the Subjugation. It's the last and only chance for you, me, and the young fire demon you want to save!"
The speaker was earnest, but the listener was indifferent.
It wasn't that he didn't want to be careful. He just knew that he wouldn't end up well if he used the weapon.
When the Scholar of Cruelty gave him the statue, he mentioned in a meaningful tone that he could use the statue to make some kind of exchange with him. Although it sounded like a trade, it was not an equivalent exchange. Moreover, the content of the so-called exchange was unknown.
When one side was in a hurry to initiate an unequal exchange, it was inevitable that the price would be sky-high.
According to Sunders' analysis, if he used the statue, he would lose not only his freedom but also his soul.
Angor's soul was special. The Scholar of Cruelty didn't dare to, or even couldn't, imprint his true name on it.
However, if he used the power of laws, such as the Subjugation, to initiate an unequal exchange, the Scholar of Cruelty could bypass the surface mechanism and directly make Angor's soul belong to him.
"Don't ever use it!" Sunders advised. "Don't use it! If you really want to use it, you must think about the consequences and bear the price of eternity. "
Angor knew that the Subjugation might save his life, but he didn't want to use it.
Angor's mind was filled with rejection, but Bobota didn't give up on persuading him.
"My body is breaking down. I don't know how long I can hold on. Maybe I won't be able to see Flower Sparrow. But I hope you don't die. You have to at least leave this place alive and help me see Flower Sparrow — "
"Besides, don't you want to see your family and friends? They're waiting for you, and your teacher, Sunders … Flora … "
When Bobota mentioned his family and friends, Angor was a little surprised. Jon, Leon, Nausica, Sailum, and many others flashed in his mind.
It was as if he could hear them calling out his name one after another.
Angor hesitated for a moment.
…
"It's over. Naughty children will receive their deserved punishment. "
The Lord of Flameless spoke in a calm and unperturbed voice.
With that, a small flame appeared in his hand and he pressed it toward Olucia's forehead.
Far away, Gregory's small face was covered in tears. He opened his eyes wide and mumbled, "No, no …"
No matter how many times Gregory prayed in his heart, the final outcome still came.
When the pale flames fell, Olucia turned her head and looked at Gregory for the last time. Her eyes seemed to have many meanings to convey to Gregory, but in the end, Olucia only raised her eyebrows and smiled at Gregory.
After the smile, Gregory didn't even have time to decipher the meaning behind the smile before he saw the flames engulfing Olucia's head.
The raging fire completely blocked Gregory's sight.
Gregory's sobs suddenly stopped. He stared blankly at the burning fire in the distance as if he didn't expect something like this to happen.
When Olucia's soul turned into a fist-sized ball of light and was held by the Lord of Flameless, Gregory finally came back to his senses.
He no longer cried or mumbled. Tears flowed down his cheeks quietly.
Maybe Gregory didn't even know that he was crying. He only felt that his eyes were stinging, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart that was slowly growing.
The Flameless Lord didn't immediately destroy Olucia's soul consciousness. Instead, he took out a pale blue ice flame from the burning body on the ground. It emitted a thick white frost aura.
This was the relic of the familial flame.
The Lord of Flameless never thought that there would be a flame that could make him recognize someone as his master.
Lord of Flameless looked at the pale blue flame and an undetectable light flashed through his eyes. He slowly placed it into Olucia's soul.
The reason why Lord of Flameless didn't destroy Olucia's soul was because he needed it to carry the relic of the familial flame.
A pale blue flame appeared in the ball of light in his palm.
Lord of Flameless looked at the ball of light in his palm with fascination. After the relic of the familial flame merged with the ball of light, it looked like an Eye of Light with blue flames.
It was dreamy and beautiful.
Lord of Flameless admired it for a while. Then, he took out the purple and white origin flame that Olucia had painstakingly obtained from the soulless body on the ground.
The Flameless Lord lightly tossed the Origin Flames into the air. The two Origin Flames seemed to become two different-colored fish. With the Eye of Light as the core, they began to swim in a circle.
Lord of Flameless removed the restraints on the Eye of Light. Instead of landing on the ground, the Eye of Light simply floated beside Lord of Flameless. The origin flame fish was the source of energy for the Eye of Light, and it was also marked by Lord of Flameless. No matter where Lord of Flameless went, the origin flame fish would follow.
Lord of Flameless looked at the Eye of Light with satisfaction. Then, he slowly looked away.
Now that he had finished his business, it was time to leave.
There was something in this world that made him uncomfortable.
However, before leaving, Lord of Flameless decided to study the strange human.
Lord Flameless slowly approached Angor, one step at a time.
Bobota was the first to notice Lord of Flameless' movement. He tried to talk to Angor using voice transmissions, but Angor didn't respond. When he mentioned Angor's family and friends, Angor finally showed a hesitant expression. Bobota thought he had a chance, so he kept talking. But no matter what he said, Angor didn't respond.
Bobota even thought that Angor might have already blocked his voice transmissions.
Seeing that Lord Flameless was already approaching Angor, Bobota clenched his teeth and yelled, "Angor, the only way out is to use a subdued object! Don't hesitate anymore! "
Lord of Flameless was surprised by Bobota's words.
He then looked at the human in the distance. Or rather, the statue next to the human.
Previously, he had used the Flameless Hand to pinch the human, causing the statue to fall. However, the human's body was too weak. Just a light pinch had caused great damage to the human, causing him to spurt out blood.
Some of the blood also landed on the statue.
According to the rules of nature, as long as the human sincerely called out to the Scholar of Cruelty in his mind, the Scholar of Cruelty's consciousness would descend.
Even the Flameless Lord couldn't stop the speed of thought on the level of consciousness.
So, would he do it? Lord of Flameless looked at Angor again.
Although the Flameless Lord didn't know why the Scholar of Cruelty didn't leave an imprint on the human and instead left the Descendant for him, the Flameless Lord faintly felt that the Scholar of Cruelty might have encountered some kind of obstacle and temporarily couldn't leave an imprint on the human. As long as the human used the Descendant, the Flameless Lord could bypass the obstacle and leave an imprint on the human.
Although these so-called obstacles were very rare, they were not non-existent.
For example, certain items, abilities, or even Mystery items could cause such obstacles.
The Lord of the Flameless saw through this at a glance. Therefore, he was actually quite curious. Did this human know how to use Subjugation?
