Chapter 408: The Great Sin Ritual

"Oops!"

Aiwass's expression changed, and he suddenly realized that he had made a huge omission!

In other words, his desire for transcendence confused his mind... and made him forget an important detail.

The contract he initially signed was with [Shadow Demon].

Because of this, when Shadow Demon was upgraded to [Night Demon], Aiwass's contract was already over!

The contract ends and disintegrates on its own - and the invisible chain between Aiwass and Night Stalker will disappear.

According to the normal process, the night demon was expelled back to the dream world by the apostle of Sand Time.

After that, only Aiwass used the ritual directed at the Night Demon and spent a lot of power to briefly summon the Night Demon back to the living world - and this was only when the Night Demon actively responded to the summons.

According to Xian Xia's words, Night Demon has already passed the heavenly tribulation and is about to be forced to ascend.

The entry suffix of the upper-level phantom [priority +1] is "divinity". In a sense, the upper-level phantom is a god, or at least a demigod. Their power far exceeds the limits of the world, and they can only stay in the material world for a short time. Otherwise, you may incur the hostility of Sand Timepiece.

The Tiansi who were pulled down by the Ring of Ending Ceremony can themselves be regarded as victims. But even so, their existence will still be targeted by Sand Time Watch; not to mention those loose upper-level phantoms that are neither apostles nor Tiansi, and have no "establishment" and dare to take the initiative to go down to the lower world.

Aiwass now only has the third-level demon scholar profession, and it is absolutely impossible for him to successfully sign a contract with a high-level demon.

Demonologist, a low-level profession that can reach up to the third level at most, does not have that level of power!

This is basically equivalent to signing a contract with the gods!

The Night Demon, who has abilities in three fields at the same time, is indeed a god in a sense!

——But the demon scholar can't do it, but the sin scholar who can seal the real god can!

"I don't want to leave, Master..."

Vignes hugged Aiwass tightly from behind.

She made an ethereal and hoarse voice, like a doll whispering: "Seal me..."

"Like the Flame-Contrary Butterfly... sealed into the tarot cards!"

Aiwass looked at Vines's face... Her expression was as if the game console was suddenly taken away and lifted up by her parents while she was concentrating on playing a game.

Her delicate and pale face lacked expression, but her eyes were filled with intense uneasiness and fear.

The scarlet blood streaks on her face looked like broken ceramics, with a strong sense of fragmentation.

"Don't worry, I won't let you go."

Aiwass did not laugh, but said extremely seriously: "I have already said... you are my little bird.

"And I... am your birdcage."

——No one can take you away from me!

Aiwass turned on the lamp and relit the candle.

He quickly started the preparations for making the card.

If the Night Demon is let go at this time... and Vignes is allowed to see Fallen Sky Division, maybe Aiwass won't be able to summon her back!

——You know, Fallen Sky Secretary was almost pulled down by the "shepherd" of the previous generation!

He must have been extremely hostile to the art of pastoral care.

The Shadow Demon was directly promoted to the Night Demon without any permission from the Fallen Heaven Division. Once he was a little curious, he could realize what Aiwass had done.

Now it's too late to summon the candle's apostle to ask what tarot cards are suitable for Night Demon.

...Of course, even if Aiwass summons Zhu Zhu's apostle before the evolution ceremony, he may not get the answer. Because the cards suitable for Shadow Demon at that time must be different from the cards suitable for Night Demon later.

The contract within Aiwass's body has collapsed, and the Night Demon is now ownerless. The descending apostle may be sent back to the dream world at any time.

"Vignes," Aiwass quickly shuffled the remaining cards and said softly, "it's up to you.

"Draw out with me...the two cards that belong to you. The two cards that are best for you."

This is the closest thing to "divination". You can choose the most suitable card for the Night Demon by relying only on your inner perception.

Night Stalker put his hand on Aiwass's. That dark, sharp, hook-like hand made Aiwass feel a strange coldness and smoothness.

Just like the humid wind on the seaside at night.

"The first card represents yourself. You draw it yourself."

Aiwass said softly, and together with Night Demon, they pushed the Tarot cards horizontally and opened them.

Night Demon relied on instinct and selected one of them.

Ligeia immediately came over to take a look, and Yanis also saw the card Aiwas chose from the painting. Only Yulia was still sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at Aiwass worriedly but somewhat gloomily.

"——The devil in reverse position."

Ligeia whispered: "It makes sense."

"Then there is the second card, which can suppress your power and represents the Pillar God..."

Aiwass said nervously.

There are only nine cards representing the Pillar God, and one of them has been taken away by the Butterfly. The probability of accurately drawing a card belonging to the Pillar God among the remaining cards is not very high...unless this is indeed a "divination" skill triggered by their spirituality.

Then, Aiwass turned over the tarot card.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

"...a true lover."

Aiwass said softly: "The card belonging to the twin mirror... is reasonable."

As the "Bayard", the Shadow Demon lost the Rage Mark because it devoured itself as the Son of the Moon; and it regained the Jealous Mark because it devoured its past self again in the promotion ceremony hosted by the Twin Mirror.

As the upper demon of the Mirror Demon, the Night Demon is also somewhat connected to the "Mirror" in some concepts.

Suppress the "Devil" with the [Lover]!

Aiwass immediately used the remaining ritual materials in the room to start making cards.

Because the materials for the Sin Card that the Shadow Demon was going to use had been prepared long ago, Aiwass made it very quickly.

But when making it, Aiwass's brows were already furrowed.

He still remembered that his dark attribute mana pool had an upper limit of only 44 points.

Because he had never considered the problem that the contract would be invalidated after the Shadow Demon became the Night Demon... Aiwass had to get the remaining six points of dark attribute mana now.

There are ways to restore mana in each path.

The Path of Devotion is prayer, but dark mana cannot be restored through prayer. The mana used by the Shepherd and Flesh of the Path of Devotion is the mana of the priest profession, and the mana attribute that can be restored by prayer is the same.

And Aiwass has basically never used up the dark mana.

In addition to the initial card making, it was only used when using Shepherd and Essence on Lily.

The means of returning mana in the Path of Transcendence is sacrifice. By sacrificing the lives of others, you can restore your mana.

But Aiwass can't trigger the Heaven's Sin - he swore.

At this moment, the Night Demon has already felt uneasy. The world is rejecting Him, and the Sand Clock has noticed His existence.

... Damn, what should I do?

At worst...

Aiwass gritted his teeth and held his left wrist with his right hand.

Ligeia seemed to realize something, and her pupils suddenly shrank.

... Offering his left arm to get a little extra mana... Maybe it's feasible.

Anyway, there should be a way to grow it back later. He can think of several ways now...

But the question is, is one of his arms... worth six mana points? Who should he sacrifice to?

But at this moment, Aiwas looked up at the "lover card" he had just drawn on the table, and then looked up at the floor-length mirror in the bedroom, and suddenly froze for a moment...realized that another better solution was right in front of him.

——Is this also within your expectations, twin mirrors?

So, Aiwas first prayed to the candlestick with great piety to quickly recover the mana he had just consumed in the pastoral ceremony.

Although it didn't consume much by itself, it was already a lot when counting the treatment of the fire sacrifice. Fortunately, he could use the last prayer of the day to restore the status to full.

When his mana was fully replenished, Aiwass ran to the mirror in two steps and prayed loudly:

"I worship the twin mirrors! The god of the holy number two, the god of blindness and selflessness, the god of pure beauty and flawlessness--

"I am you..."

As the mirror surface glowed, Aiwass rushed directly into the mirror.

The other Aiwass in the mirror rushed out, and the two voices overlapped in an instant: "You are me--"

The shadow became real, and the body became a bubble.

Another Aiwass with scarlet pupils appeared from the mirror.

--As mentioned before, the three-attribute mana pool of the Moon Child form does not correspond to Aiwas' human form one by one. Instead, it is all added up and divided by three.

In other words, Aiwas switched to the Moon Child. After the form, the two mana of other attributes that he has not used up can be balanced to make up for the missing part.

Aiwass's mana pool is 52 points of light attribute, 44 points of dark attribute, and 55 points of fire attribute.

After averaging, it is just enough!

So Aiwass put the two tarot cards together upside down, with the card faces facing each other.

The dark attribute mana is continuously injected like a vortex... After more than five points of mana, the card is completely torn apart. This is also the reason why too precious card making materials are not needed.

And a dark purple, vaguely existing card outline was held in Aiwass's hand.

So Aiwass began to chant again, calling the twin mirror for the second time:

"I beg the twin mirror! God of the holy number two, God of blindness and selflessness, God of pure beauty and flawlessness——

"Please look after my soul and make it as pure as a mirror..."

"——I respectfully invite the Fallen Angel!"

Aivas did not pause and declared loudly: "The Angel of Sin, the Angel of Fall!

"I have understood my sins, and I am willing to bear the mark of jealousy!"

The prayer ended by itself due to the mistake, but two completely different auras had already flowed into the hands of Aiwas in the state of the Son of the Moon——

Update completed!

I haven't finished writing 6,000 words yet...I originally wanted to finish writing the seal in one go today and take a day off tomorrow, but it seems that I can't take a day off tomorrow. It's not good to take a day off here, so I won't take a day off tomorrow and continue to update...

Wait until I finish writing this paragraph before asking!

Then sacrifice a book written by a book friend to extend the cat's life!
