"Lord of Calamity …"
In front of the dark altar, a purple light shrouded the surroundings, bringing a trace of light to the surroundings.
At the center of the altar, hearing Adil's words, a strange emotion flashed in the eyes of the giant three-headed black snake, "Probably."
As it spoke, a faint spiritual force enveloped the area, like a spirit whispering softly in one's ears, continuously reverberating in one's mind, making it hard to forget.
"Probably?"
Hearing the words of the other party, Adil subconsciously furrowed his brows, feeling that there was something wrong with the words of the other party.
"I was once a Magus, just like you."
Before Adil could speak, the sigh like voice sounded in his ears again.
On the altar, the black snake was circling in Silence, its entire body looking like it was carved out of stone, filled with a primitive beauty.
At this moment, the statues in the surroundings were shaking, the spell formations on them shining together, trying to bind and seal the black snake in the center of the altar.
"Magus …"
Looking at the black snake circling in the distance and silently listening to the other party's words, Adil was startled, not expecting this to happen.
"I can feel that the pure bloodline in your body is that of a true elf."
Opposite him, the three-headed black snake was still there, the head in the center opened its eyes, its blood-red eyes staring at Adil, "Then, what are you here for?"
"Possible knowledge, as well as the World Stone on you."
Hearing the other party's question, Adil did not hide anything and directly stated his purpose for coming here.
In front of an existence like the other party, lying and hiding was useless. Even if the other party was currently suppressed, it was not difficult for it to see through an existence that was not even a rank 2 Magus.
Moreover, his purpose was very easy to guess, so there was no need to hide anything.
"Looks like you will be disappointed."
Opposite him, the black snake maintained its previous posture, its blood-red eyes unwavering, "The Magi here have long since declined. Ever since the generation that suppressed me a few thousand years ago disappeared, no more Magi have appeared here."
"In such an environment, even if the Magi who suppressed me had left something behind, I'm afraid there wouldn't be much left."
"As for this piece of world stone …"
The black snake's body did not move, but its pair of snake eyes closed slightly. "I want you to take it away, but I'm afraid you can't do it."
Hearing the other party's words, Adil felt quite speechless and silently agreed with the other party's words.
When he first arrived at the ruins, he was led by Sol and the others to search around, hoping to find something left behind by the ancient wizards.
After a round of searching, the final harvest was meager. He didn't find anything useful at all.
As for the World Stone, it was indeed as the man had said. Even if Adil were to take it, he wouldn't be able to understand it.
As the most important core of this seal, this world stone was surrounded by an extremely powerful sorcery formation. If one wanted to take away this world stone while it was surrounded by a seal, they would have to destroy the entire seal.
Putting aside the fact that Adil couldn't do this, even if he could, he wouldn't dare to do it.
After all, this terrifying Lord of Calamity was still sealed here. Once the surrounding seal disappeared, with the other party's strength, it would be able to send Adil into the heavens at any moment.
At this thought, Adil couldn't help but frown and look behind him.
Sol and the others were standing there, not moving at all, as if they were statues. Silence.
This was because they were affected by the spiritual force around them. Under the power of the Lord of Calamity, they were forcefully affected and couldn't help but stand on the spot.
"Don't worry about these people," a low voice sounded out in front of them.
Above the altar, the black snake opened its eyes again and looked at Adil. "Instead of worrying about them, you might as well worry about yourself."
After all, compared to the blood in their bodies that is contaminated with the aura of calamity, the mark on your body is the real threat. "
The cold voice sounded in the surroundings, and there was a hint of nostalgia.
However, hearing this, Adil couldn't help but frown, "Mark of calamity? What is that?"
"It's something that can kill people."
There was a trace of nostalgia and indifference in the black snake's eyes, "The reason why I became like this, from a Warlock to a calamity, is because of this thing."
"This is the curse in the depths of the bloodline, and also the fate that pure-blooded descendants like us have to bear. When the time is right, the curse will break out and make you face despair …"
It mumbled softly, its tone filled with vicissitudes and nostalgia, as well as a hint of suppressed madness.
"Seems like this isn't a good thing."
Adil's expression was calm, but he frowned, "This is the elves' curse?"
At this moment, many thoughts flashed through his mind.
The scene that he had inquired about in the Emerald World surfaced in his mind again, and the information about the elves' bloodline curse surged into his mind, causing him to feel a little emotional.
"To be precise, it's the pure-blooded elves' curse." The black snake's voice sounded again.
In the next moment, the surrounding scene suddenly changed.
Under Adil's somewhat surprised gaze, the black snake in front of him began to slowly transform, gradually turning into the appearance of a man in black.
It was a tall and handsome middle-aged man, his entire body shrouded in a wisp of black gas, and his pair of scarlet eyes left a deep impression.
There was a kind of evil charm on this man, making people unable to forget him at first sight and firmly remember him in their hearts.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Heraldo, a level-5 Warlock."
The middle-aged man stood on the altar, his scarlet eyes like a blood moon, leaving a deep impression, "Seeing that you are a moon elf, there are some things I can tell you."
"Why a moon elf?"
Looking at Heraldo opposite him, Adil forced himself to calm down and asked calmly.
There was no love without reason in the world, and it was impossible to hate without reason. Since the blood of the moon elves carried a curse, there must be a reason.
"Because of war."
In response to Adil's question, Heraldo opposite him said directly, "The collision between worlds, in the ancient Warlocks, the Warlock World and the World of Calamity went to war. Our ancestors were defeated, and the bloodline of our descendants was cursed by the King of Calamity, forming the Mark of Calamity."
"Why don't I feel anything at all?"
Hearing this, Adil was a little puzzled and suspicious.
It was a fact that the blood of the elves was attached to a curse, but he had never felt any abnormality in Adil's body, nor did he feel any trace of the curse at all.
"Although ordinary elves have a curse in their bodies, under normal circumstances, it won't break out. Only pure-blooded descendants like us will the curse in our bodies be actively activated, forming the Curse of Calamity."
Looking at Adil silently, Heraldo's expression was cold, "As for the reason you're fine, it's entirely because of the Jade Seal on your body."
"Jade Seal …"
Upon hearing her words, Adil was taken aback.
Before he could react, Heraldo spoke again, "That is the blessing of the Bloodline Ancestor. It contains the power of the Bloodline Ancestor. Not only can it help you hide your strength, but it can also temporarily suppress the curse in your body."
"However, this suppression is only temporary."
His expression was cold, and he looked a little silent, "As time passes, the power contained in the seal will slowly be consumed. You must quickly become stronger before the power of the seal is consumed, or else the curse in your body will break out."
"Is there a way to solve this curse?"
Looking at him, Adil asked.
Hearing this, the surroundings fell into silence for a while.
Heraldo was silent for a long time before speaking again, "You can only resist it, or be like me …"
"Become a Lord of Calamity?" Adil said calmly.
"That's right."
Heraldo nodded, "The Mark of Calamity itself is a curse placed by a King of Calamity in the Calamity World, targeting all descendants of the King of Calamity."
"However, as long as you transform into a Lord of Calamity, everything in your body will naturally be assimilated by the Calamity World, and the curse placed by the King of Calamity will also disappear."
Hearing this, Adil could not help but frown, falling into silence for a while.
Neither of the two options offered by the man in front of him were good choices.
If this curse was so easy to resist, then the former pure-blooded elves would not have all died.
Transforming into a Lord of Calamity was one way, but in reality, it was not as wonderful as imagined.
Lords of Calamity were known for their brutality and barbarism. In the records of the Emerald World, Lords of Calamity were born with the power of chaos. Affected by this power, they were generally chaotic and brutal.
In order to become a Lord of Calamity, one had to first undergo the baptism of the Calamity World's power. During this process, one's mind was likely to change greatly, be affected by the power of the world, and become a different person.
Moreover, even if Adil wanted to transform into a Lord of Calamity, he did not have the coordinates of the Calamity World.
In reality, he was left with no other choice but to face the attacks head-on.
Boom!!
There was a sudden rumble before him, and then a mental force field suddenly shrank.
Adil raised his head and looked in the direction of the tremors.
In the center of the altar, Heraldo's figure had already disappeared, turning into a shadow and disappearing.
The surrounding spell formation was still shaking, and the stone statues were constantly trembling. With the support of the power of the World Stone in the center, the seal continued to be maintained.
The next moment, all the surrounding power belonging to Heraldo disappeared, suppressed by the seal once again, unable to continue emerging.
"It seems that this is your current limit."
Looking at this in Silence, Adil's expression was calm as he turned and looked to the side.
Without the influence of Heraldo's mental force field, Sol and the others regained their mobility. They all looked towards Adil, not knowing what had just happened.
In front of them, the altar was still ringing, and it attracted everyone's attention.
"Yana, you …" Sol's shocked voice suddenly sounded out.
Adil turned and looked towards Yana.
A purple mark on the man's forehead began to glow.
A faint light started to shine, and it contained a unique power that resonated with the countless spell formations around them.
Purple light started to shine, and it was not just Yana. Purple bloodline light also shone on the others, but the brightness was different.
After quietly observing for a while, Adil found that the person with the brightest light wasn't Thor, nor was it Yana with the bloodline mark on her forehead. Instead, it was Suo Lanna in her arms.
On Suo Lanna's body, the purple light covered the surroundings, almost completely covering her parents' light. The others' light seemed extremely dim and could not compare at all.
Boom!!
The rumbling sound sounded out again, and as if attracted by something, a three-meter tall purple pillar slowly rose up in front of the altar. There was a familiar bloodline power spreading out from it that Adil was familiar with.
"This … ancestor's altar …"
An inexplicable message suddenly appeared in Saul's mind. Looking at the platform that suddenly appeared before him, Saul suddenly understood.
He turned and looked towards his wife, just in time to see Yana holding the child and looking at him.
The two gazes met, and in that instant, they understood each other's thoughts. Their gazes became resolute.
"The spell formation spirit ahead is awakening."
Standing next to Sol, Silence sensed the ripples in the surroundings. Adil was a bit confused, "Is it because it sensed Suo Lanna's powerful bloodline that it triggered some sort of program and caused the spell formation to automatically awaken?"
The spell formation in front of him had its own consciousness.
For a powerful Wizard, it was not impossible to bestow some simple consciousness to inanimate objects.
In alchemy, powerful magic equipment all had their own consciousness. In some powerful spell formations, in order to use the spell formation's power to its fullest, the spell formation's consciousness had to be activated.
The spell formation in front of him was so complicated and intricate that Adil had never seen it before. It was not strange for it to have a simple mechanical spell formation spirit.
The spell formation spirit in front of him seemed to have been triggered by something and started to awaken on its own, taking control of the entire spell formation.
