"You don't have to worry about me anymore. I've already accepted my fate. If only you had come earlier … Forget it. Being able to find a human to talk to at the end of my life is already my fortune." Reeves sighed softly as he looked at Angor with a somewhat gloomy expression.
If Angor had come earlier, he might have been able to use some means to take over Reeves' body. But it was too late now. He knew his own body very well. It was already in the final stage of assimilation. Even if a legendary wizard came, there was nothing they could do.
Perhaps only those great existences who could create miracles could turn something rotten into something magical. However, with his lowly status, how could he make those miraculous people look at him in a different light?
So, Reeves had already accepted his fate.
Hearing Reeves' sigh, Angor's heart also felt a little heavy. He could see some negative thoughts hidden in Reeves' eyes, but he also knew that Reeves was telling the truth.
Angor understood the sadness and evil of human nature, so he did not think that Reeves' dark thoughts were a big deal. If he was in Reeves' shoes, he would have the same thoughts.
At least for now, Reeves had suppressed his wandering thoughts. He was not like some crazy people who knew that even if they were going to die, they would drag the whole world down with them. From this point of view, Reeves used to be a rational light wizard.
After a moment of sadness, Reeves regained his rationality. His life energy was constantly flowing away with the green mist, so he did not have time to waste on sad emotions.
"Don't you want to know the secret of this ruin and what I went through here? I can tell you. But before that, I hope you can agree to a condition of mine. " Reeves looked at Angor after he finished speaking. Seeing that Angor did not intend to follow his words, Reeves was not annoyed. He took the initiative and said, "Don't worry, it's just a small request.
"I hope that after you leave here, you can help me send a message to someone. It won't be important, and it won't affect you. You can even remain anonymous.
"It's not a threat, nor is it a deal. It's a request without any restrictions … Because I don't think you have a chance to leave here. But there is still some hope, so I still want to try."
Angor and Reeves were strangers after all, so Angor was very cautious when Reeves asked for something, even if he wanted to get some information from Reeves.
However, Reeves' words were sincere, and he also eliminated many possible hidden restrictions. So, after giving it some thought, Angor nodded. "What do you want to tell me? To whom? "
"A farewell letter. Think of it as my last words. To a councilor from the City of Truth, Adelaia. "
"So Lady Dark Viscount is important to you?"
Reeves nodded with a somewhat sad expression. "She … is very important to me."
Reeves didn't mention anything about his relationship with Adelaia, but Angor could sense something from the man's emotions. Perhaps, Reeves and the councilor of the Council of Truth had a romantic memory?
"Sure. I'll let her know if I can get out of here alive. Do you have anyone else you want to talk to? Like the Purcell Family? "
A trace of complex emotions flashed through Reeves's eyes. There was regret, helplessness, anger, and bitterness. Finally, he said with a bitter voice, "If you really go out and have the time, just send them a message about my death. If you don't have time, it's fine. "
Angor did not know what was going through Reeves' mind. Maybe he felt guilty for not fulfilling his family's glory, or maybe he hated the fact that he lost his freedom and carried the burden of his family all his life.
But no matter what it was, it would dissipate with Reeves's death.
"I'll find a way to tell the Purcell Family. Now, it's your turn. What's the secret hidden in this ruin?"
…
An hour later, Angor looked at Reeves in front of him. Reeves' appearance had completely changed.
Before this, Reeves' body was mostly assimilated by the mushroom. However, Angor could still tell that Reeves used to be a handsome young man.
But now, Reeves' energy was almost all sucked dry by Bewitching Gems Larva. He was so skinny that only his skin was left.
"… Thank you." Reeves could no longer see Angor's figure. His last words were almost nothing more than the sound of a gentle breeze. However, he still tried his best to express his final thoughts. "May you … leave hell and find peace."
Angor gave Reeves a deep look. "… That's also my wish."
As his voice fell, the last remaining flame of Reeves' life burned out. He finally closed his eyes.
As the flames burned, the giant mushroom in front of him slowly turned into sparks and disappeared. Finally, it turned into ashes with the unique aroma of fungi.
Fire wizards often said, "Fire is my life. Even if I burn the whole world, I will be reborn in the raging flames."
Perhaps a fire wizard who found the truth could do this. But for ordinary wizards, this was just a joke.
Reeves died completely as the flames disappeared.
Angor did not choose to leave. Instead, he quietly looked at the pile of ashes that was still filled with a green mist.
Not long after, a spirit body emitting a faint glow slowly emerged from the ashes.
It was a newly born undead spirit. Without a doubt, it was Reeves' soul.
Angor did not leave. He chose to wait here to see what would happen to a soul that died under Bewitching Gems. Was it really as Reeves said? Impossible to save?
Angor waited for the complete form of the undead spirit.
About a minute later, the undead spirit finally took the shape of a human. Angor's expression became a little strange when he looked at the undead spirit in front of him.
Normally speaking, a soul's form was the same as it was before death. Sometimes, it would change under the influence of a strong will. For example, when an old man died, he or she would have a strong yearning for his or her younger self, which would affect the condensation of his or her soul. It was very likely that a young soul would appear in the end.
In any case, the soul would always be a human.
However, Reeves' soul was a little strange. It looked like a human, but there were several mushrooms growing on his body.
For example, there was a huge green mushroom on his head. It looked like he was wearing a green hat. There were also two mushrooms on his chest. There was also a mushroom on the back of his left hand.
Furthermore, although his soul had successfully condensed, his Spirit Body was still constantly surging. It was as though there were more mushrooms hidden in his Spirit Body, hoping to break through the restrictions and grow again.
