Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 1071 Death cannot separate us
"It's actually a fragment of a Heavenly Master... Can a box of nothingness also be considered a Heavenly Master?"

Aleister also recognized the nature of the book and came over to take a look.

She rested her head on Aiwas's shoulder and stared closely at the book in Aiwas's right hand: "Is the system responding?"

"system?"

Sherlock repeated somewhat strangely.

Aiwass nodded and raised his hand to signal Sherlock not to care about it for the time being. Then he stroked Aleister's head and replied casually: "This is a fragment of dream and illusion."

"Illusion... is it of water attribute?"

Aleister was a little jealous.

She knew how Venis had improved through the fragments of the Fallen Angels. Now Aleister and Leah could be considered the top combat power of the sixth energy level in their explosive state. But Venis had officially entered the realm of the normal sixth energy level and even possessed the authority of a god.

She can basically do everything that the Fallen Angel can do during the Tail Ring Ritual. It can be said that she has become a god on earth.

And all these changes were caused only by obtaining the fragments of Tiansi.

Now Aleister is already a Blood Angel, and she can't help but start to look forward to...what she will become if she evolves again.

"Unfortunately," Aiwass looked at the book and answered absentmindedly, "It is of the attributes of light and wind."

“…Is that so?”

Aleister felt a little regretful.

Illusion is a false and flowing force, which is related to both wind and water. However, water has the concept of a mirror, so it is relatively more in line with the path of beauty and is considered the most common attribute of the path of beauty.

"But as I recall, the 'scriptwriters' who have the most illusion abilities in the Path of Beauty should be those with the dark attribute. The ones who are good at wind attribute should be those who play musical instruments or write poetry... and the ones who are good at light attribute should be those who perform sacrificial songs and dances."

Aleister was a little confused: "Why is the Swan King's attribute wind and light?"

"Because he sees himself as a knight... and burns himself to shine."

"Knight..."

Aleister raised his eyebrows: "So you plan to leave it to the phantom demon with light attribute?"

Although the King of the Wild Hunt is of the wind attribute, it tends to be more like the concept of "thunder and gale" in the wind attribute, while this fragment of the Sky Master is closer to the aspect of "invisible, colorless and substanceless". It obviously does not fit the style of the King of the Wild Hunt, Heleqin.

Whether Heleqin was holding the Dragon Spear or the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, the style felt very suitable. But if he was asked to hold this thing, it would be like asking a muscular man to pick up two thin needles as a self-defense weapon.

——Instead of believing that a straightforward person like Helechin can learn illusion, it is better to expect him to knock the opponent out with one punch.

There is a light-attributed phantom in the holy sword. It can be revived as long as Aiwass finishes repairing the red-handled sword. It is a "knight who does not exist in history" and "thinks he is a Knight of the Round Table".

Although its fighting style obviously has nothing to do with illusion, at least the fact that it "firmly believes that it is a knight" seems to be related to the Swan King.

"of course not."

Aiwass shook his head: "You know... that Paladin is a protection paladin, and also a healing paladin. It has nothing to do with this."

"Indeed."

Aleister nodded his head in agreement. Aleister was probably the only one who could understand what Aiwass said.

Feeling Aleister's chin sawing at his shoulder and looking at the fragment of Tiansi reluctantly, Aiwass picked up the book and patted Aleister's head lightly in annoyance: "Just wait for the fragment of Blood Tiansi with peace of mind."

"I'm greedy."

"You're not a greedy beast of sin. You don't have to be so greedy."

"So what are you going to do with it?"

Aleister asked curiously, "Give it to the Pillar God in exchange for a reward? If you pay a price, you should be able to find someone to make it into a divine weapon. Or do you plan to use it to support a celestial official to ascend to the throne? The price of this thing is more than enough to buy a kingdom in the material world."

“——Indeed.”

Unexpectedly, Aiwass agreed: "I will use it to buy a kingdom."

"…Are you serious?"

Aleister was stunned for a moment, raised his head from Aiwass's shoulder, and warned: "Don't forget, the fact that you can see the properties of this thing... means that Huan Tiansi has had it before."

"Don't forget," Aiwass said softly, "Isabelle's attributes are water and light. She even has an affinity with light." "...Ah."

Aleister's eyes widened, and his slightly opened mouth made meaningless sounds.

"It just so happens that the gift I prepared before doesn't seem to be up to par. This is perfect...

"With this Celestial Master fragment, it means that Isabel has the ability to be promoted to Celestial Master. As long as her level is high enough, she can ascend to the Dream World.

"——I think there is no better gift than this."

Aiwass said softly.

At this moment, he recalled what he had said to Isabel before.

At that time, Aiwas had already predetermined his honorable name after becoming a celestial official - he wanted to become [Shining Celestial Official]. That was not just a wild thought - because he would definitely be able to ascend to the position of celestial official.

At that time, Isabel said...

"You've become a celestial being...what should I do? Are you going to leave me alone in the human world?"

Her bright, wet eyes reminded Aiwas of a fawn or an abandoned cat.

In his previous life, Aiwass had kept cats and dogs, but he stopped keeping them later.

It’s not that there is any other reason...it’s just that the lifespan of these little animals is too short.

What a heart-wrenching memory it is when we part?

Just like when a lover dies, everyone he looks at will see the shadow of that person. After the first pet he raised died, he could no longer raise new cats and dogs. Looking at them, he would think of the laughter and confusion of his children when they were young... and it would feel different.

He still remembered the look in his eyes on the day of separation...how it gradually changed from wet reluctance to emptiness and lifelessness.

He had kept a pet to fill the void in his family, to have a new family. But the result was destined to be another separation. He couldn't stand the third separation, so he never kept a pet again, and never loved anyone else.

Then won’t Isabel feel any pain?

Aiwass had no doubt that if he ascended to the dream world, she would follow him without hesitation.

——Not even death can separate us.

“…I was thinking then,” Aiwass said softly, “she must be very uneasy.

"She knew that I would eventually ascend to the dream world and become immortal...but she didn't have the talent to become a celestial being. It's like dating a senior in college, knowing that he would go to a strange big city to work after graduation, and it would be difficult for her to find a good job in the same city. If separation is destined, the more you love and the closer you get to the day of separation, the more your heart will ache.

"I believe that if it is a world like that... Isabel would give up her studies without hesitation and accompany me to fight. Because she is a very insecure child and cannot endure such a long separation. And I would not feel comfortable leaving her alone in the material world... As innocent and gentle as she is, she can be easily deceived. It is better for her to be deceived by me.

"So I thought, Wu Tiansi was once an apostle of Yan Tiansi - I wanted to establish such a relationship. First give her immortality, and then slowly help her find the possibility of upgrading. That is, to find Tiansi fragments for her.

"...But now, there is no need to worry anymore. It is all done in one step. With the fragment of the Heavenly Master that matches Isabel's ability, even if Isabel dies unexpectedly, she can still achieve immortality in the dream world. I have no more worries."

"so good……"

Aleister murmured softly.

Her eyes also became calm and gentle, obviously she was thinking the same thing as Aiwass.

"But," Aleister asked softly, "it's too late to make a gift now, right? Are you going to give the book directly to Isabel?"

"No, there's enough time."

Aiwass said this and handed the book to Aleister: "Then I'll have to trouble you to make the trip."

"...Where do you want me to go?"

The corners of Aleister's mouth twitched slightly, and he said unhappily: "Forget it, just say it directly. After all, we were once the same person... Just consider it as my gift as well."

"You fly fast, and you know best what I am going to do; go to the Theocracy and give it to Haibasha. Tell her that her daughter is in my hands now—"

"…Sounds like a kidnapper."

Sherlock on the side complained.
