1050 Origin Stone of Darkness Part 2 (1/2)

The Six-winged Flying Snake was as powerful as a dragon, or rather, even a dragon would not be as mystical as the snakes. Dragons originated from the dragon plane while lineages of the Six-winged Flying Snake were literally everywhere. No one knew where the purest of the Six-winged Flying Snake bloodlines hailed from.

Arbola was not capable of using the powers of the true Six-winged Flying Snakes. It was already her limit just to conjure illusions of the nine snakes. Even so, the attack rendered Saleen dazed.

There was hardly anything fake with the nine Six-winged Flying Snakes and each snake looked different from the other. The snakes were still chanting something when they pounced onto Theisio.

Saleen was unable to comprehend the language used by the snakes. He was not even capable of analyzing the structure of the language using Figaro's Magic Formula.

The language had a twisty rhythm and powerful pronunciations. The bodies of the snakes shone with bright, colorful runes, none of which Saleen recognized.

Theisio was no longer able to keep his composure as his Realm of Light was consumed by the Six-winged Flying Snakes. Furthermore, his divine spells were ineffective, and he became incapable of sensing the light of his god.

The rules within the mark of the Six-winged Flying Snake were not from Myers Mainland at all. The specters of the nine snakes cut off the connection between the pope and the Lord of Glory.

Theisio's God Grace Staff and Bramble Crown were capable of unleashing the energy stored within. While the remaining power within the items was still massive, they were unable to compare to that of the mark.

The mark of the Six-winged Flying Snake was definitely not something that had been passed down only over the past thousand years. It was probably as ancient as the history of Myers Mainland itself. At the very least, the mark was more than 30,000 years old.

Theisio's expression twisted, and he seemed very reluctant. He uttered a string of peculiar notes from his throat and Saleen was able to tell that it was a dialect of the ancient Myers language. The language had been common in ancient times.

”Descend, O' Origin Stone of Darkness!” Theisio was not finished yet. A huge, black rock appeared in the space created by the mark. Theisio stood on the rock, and both his Bramble Crown and the God Grace Staff in his hand turned to the purest black.

Theisio had a pained expression. The Origin Stone of Darkness was something that he found in that cave. The core of the stone held the seed of divine fire of the Dark God of Destruction. Theisio had only intended to bring the rock back for research purposes or as an offering for his god. He did not anticipate any trouble in the process and the Origin Stone of Stone melded with his body, rendered inseparable.

The seed of divine fire of the Dark God of Destruction had not been running away from humans to escape persecution; it was controlled by the Origin Stone of Darkness. The rock became like a piece of equipment as it entered Theisio's body. He knew that what he was doing was blasphemous.

The rock had divinity but it was unknown what god from which plane it belonged to. It somehow ended up in Myers Mainland. Theisio was able to advance into a level ten holy master because he had attained the power of the Origin Stone of Darkness.

It was incredibly bitter and unacceptable ordeal to him.

The Origin Stone of Darkness might have been very powerful, but it was not light of his god. The purity of the dark attributes of the relic was spoken for by how it was able to attract the Dark God of Destruction.

What was even more terrifying was that the power of the Origin Stone of Darkness exceeded light attributes by a considerable margin, yet it did nothing to repel the skills belonging to the Lord of Glory. That meant that the relic was at least of level 16 and it possessed incredible devouring powers.

Theisio was a powerful holy master and he knew traits of gods well. While he was still able to use the powers of the Lord of Glory, there was no telling what he would turned into when the Origin Stone of Darkness completely consumed him. At the very least, it would mean that he was no longer in the Lord of Glory's favor.

If the leader of a religion or a faith betrayed their god, their god would definitely find ways to send a double and kill the leader. It was especially so in the case of Lord of Glory, a god who was incredibly repellent of anything that was not his, and one was incapable of forgiving betrayal in any form.

Theisio had no choice but to summon the Origin Stone of Darkness in the life and death situation. He would have been killed by the conjured specters of the Six-winged Flying Snake otherwise.

The nine snakes rammed hard on the rock and the entire space created by the mark trembled in response. Saleen put up his Water Shield once again and resisted the tremor with thunderous rumble.

It was a sound that the nine snakes produced deliberately, which carried incredibly devastating powers. The elements around the rock crumbled and Theisio, who was standing on the rock, bled from all his orifices.

Arbola was having a hard time as well. The full frontal strike resulted only in minor injuries on Theisio's part. She dispelled the space created by the mark, leaving with Saleen and Jalin.

The outer areas of the Realm of Light were being corroded by the Origin Stone of Darkness as well, making it impossible to maintain.

Arbola shouted a 'run' to her elders and then headed to Guderian City without a care. All of the elders from her clan were sly, scheming people. They all followed right behind Arbola and flew several miles away in an instant.

The Realm of Light disappeared, and a huge black rock hung in midair. Theisio stood on top of the rock with a pained expression. Even with the space created by the mark of Six-winged Flying Snake gone, he remained unable to feel the blessing of his god.
