Chapter 336: Rebirth from the Ashes

　　咚! Boom! Boom!

The bell at the top of the Hall of Glory was rung. The dull bell meant that a new gentleman had left his name inside. Most of the gentlemen also knew that this bell corresponded to the contributor of the nightmare incident.

Most of them temporarily put down what they were doing and faced the direction of the bell to pay respects.

However,

Some gentlemen who were standing at a high place and could see the palace buildings normally, when the bell was about to end, they all felt a strange feeling, as if something was staring at them from the depths of the palace.

"what is that?"

Some people with high sensing attributes, or outstanding eye abilities, vaguely saw a burnt eyeball among the clouds above the palace, and the ring-shaped pupil seemed to be still burning.

The long gaze even made these gentlemen’s eyes feel burning sensation, and the instantaneous pain brought them back to their senses.

 Check your eyes quickly after moving away from your field of vision.

Unexpectedly, it was discovered that their eyeballs all had more or less traces of burns, either a black spot, or the whole was blackened, and a few even had scaly scorch marks on their eyeballs.

 …

Hall of Glory-Holy Sacrament Room

The fierce screams echoed here continuously, heartbreaking and reaching deep into the soul, as if to wake up the holy body here.

 The one who screamed was Little Grape Grap.

The curse entered the body due to the direct absorption of Prophet Rudolf's "Ember Eyes". This curse has remained in the corpse for hundreds of years, and has not even weakened much compared to the original.

 The hair all over Little Grape's body burned from the inside and turned into fire cores flying in the air.

Its open mouth was covered with scorch marks, and there were a large number of scaly scorch marks inside the mouth. The tongue was burned dry and covered with ember cracks, and the eyeballs in its mouth gradually became like "Ember Eyes".

Yichen saw that his friend who had been following him was burned like this, and he instinctively wanted to step forward to help, but was forcibly stopped by the archbishop on the side with a holy light barrier.

“Rudolph was stronger than you back then, and when he died, he still couldn’t get rid of the cursed disease caused by spying on restricted areas. A good young man like you can’t get infected and ruin his future.

Since this is your friend’s choice, let him bear it alone.

Presumably he is not the kind of guy who is completely driven by desire. He should be confident before choosing to take the initiative to contact him.

And the [corpses] contained in this little guy are not simple. Each of them has a history of hundreds of years, and even a few of them have a much larger aura than us old guys. "

The screams gradually disappeared, not because Little Grape had adapted to the curse.

 But because it has been completely burned to ashes,

 The hair is burned out and the body is burned dry.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

As a crack appeared on the surface of the burnt ball, the charred corpse of the little grape disintegrated directly, and ashes and dust were scattered on the ground... However, the form of scattering and accumulation was somewhat particular.

 The ashes that fell on the ground actually piled up into a small mound. To be precise, it should be a [grave].

When Yi Chen first met Little Putao in Cemetery No. 6, its grave was very ordinary, even messy... except that the current ash grave was slightly different, with embers and fire vaguely flickering on the surface.

 Both Yi Chen and the Archbishop could feel that something was gestating inside.

 At the same moment,

Prophets in different areas of Zion, whether it was Principal Deslin of the college or Prophet Marko of the Twin Church, all sensed that something evil was being born.

However, this evil thing is somewhat similar to them, and it seems to also have the attributes of a 'prophet'.

Deslin descended from the suspended posture of "holding a ball in her arms" to the observation deck. Her star-like eyes looked through the college barrier and looked towards the direction where the sensor was coming from.

It was discovered that ‘black snow’, or a special kind of ash, had actually fallen in the Hall of Glory and its surrounding areas, and there seemed to be a huge, uncomfortable, scorched eye hidden among the clouds above.

“Is this...the ‘scorched eye syndrome’ that old Mr. Rudolf once suffered from?

Did someone new successfully accept this curse and Rudolph's pupil technique? If there is such a talented person, I should know it very well. Recently, I have never heard of any newcomer who has a unique talent in the use of eyes.

And today happens to be the award day for the Nightmare Incident, could it be..."

Deslin’s fingers were filled with stars, and she immediately figured out something.

She turned around, wrapped herself in the clothes she wore when going out, put on her knee-high leather boots, put on her round glasses and walked towards the palace area.

 The Eucharistic Room.

The Archbishop has moved all the ten holy bodies near the ashes tomb to prevent the bodies of these old friends from being involved in the curse.

 An hour passed,

Thump thump thump~ waves of weak heartbeats came from inside the grave.

 Soil particles are loose,

  Accompanied by zombie-like screams, came from the depths of the mound,

An arm covered with scorch marks and textured with afterglow was deep in the center of the grave, with its five fingers clasped on the ground, supporting a scorched head with fluffy black hair emerging from the ground.

His face is inlaid with a total of eighteen burnt eyeballs, staring at the two people in front of him.

slowly,

 The complete charred body has crawled out from the grave,

Yi Chen and the archbishop couldn't help but take a few steps back. The latter even stood up the gem scepter in front of him, preparing to attack the charred corpse in front of him.

  Careful observation will reveal that there are several faces emerging from the back of the charred corpse, but they all have their eyes closed tightly, as if they are still in a deep sleep.

 As the charred corpses keep coming,

The Archbishop directly condenses a variety of nested floating magic circles on the end of the staff, preparing to release the extremely powerful Holy Light spell to strike the target with annihilation.

at this time,

  The expression of the burnt corpse was no longer painful, and a carp stood up from the ground.

The mouth came out dry and hoarse, superimposed with strange sounds from multiple channels:

"Don't~ It's just a joke! The body in my body has completely accepted this curse... In other words, this "scorched eye syndrome" remaining in Rudolph's body is exactly the same as the 'eyeball collector Gemhar' that has been developed in my body. 'match.

 Gemhar has been fully awakened and has full development speed.

Moreover, the evil eye technique he mastered is perfectly integrated with this scorched eye syndrome. Finally... I finally have a perfect and unique corpse for external use!

William, next time you have to deal with circus members or encounter an open source patient, I can handle it alone.

 I am now at the open source level, and this cursed eye disease allows me to exert greater strength than the eyeball collector Gmhar.

　　That’s great! "

 Soon,

　　Little Grape transformed directly into its original black flesh ball form, and landed steadily on Yi Chen's shoulder with a standard somersault in the air.

It’s just that there are still embers scattered among its hair, and the eyeballs in its mouth always have the shape of ‘ember eyes’.

With the return of Little Putao, Yi Chen also immediately received a reminder of the change of pet information.

  ≮Pets≯

  【Name】：Little Grape.Grape (ember state)

 Developed Corpse One (First Corpse One) - Eyeball Collector Gemhar, whose development level has reached 100% and can control and use the disease ability of "Ember Eyes".

Warning: If you are currently combined with a pet, it will cause the ember state to spread and cause damage to your body, but it will also enhance some specific abilities.

  *When you travel to the old world or other disease-related world areas, you can collect ‘firewood’ appropriately to improve and change the ember status of your pet.
