Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 1178 Lifting the Curse with the Power of Nothingness

The ancient kingdom of Parthia, the rock cellar city.

Two days have passed since the three demons were sent back.

During this time, Aiwass's convoy did not enter the Rock Cellar City, but continued to wait outside the city. Aiwass brought several ritualists to study the ritual. He also brought Sherlock to help them cast spells to resist the curse.

Although the troll wizard who continued to use "Curse Nova: Petrification" as the basis of the ritual array has been killed by Aiwass - by the way, the name of this skill was also given by Aiwass, after all, he didn't know what the exact name of this move was - the activated curse still remains.

The soul of the troll wizard, which served as the basis for the ritual, had almost been burned out.

In fact, even if Aiwass didn't take care of him, after a while... say a week or two, he would gradually burn out, then die completely and shatter into ashes.

Aiwass killed him, but it really freed him and allowed his soul to enter the dream world.

Even if he had to enter the reincarnation cycle with fragmented information, it was better than being completely annihilated. And who knows, there might be a celestial being who would be interested in him.

The three ritualists were waiting here to contact the business, but they were also responsible for protecting the troll wizard to prevent him from being killed before he burned out.

——Since the enemy doesn't want him to die, Aiwass will make him die.

It was precisely because the troll wizard died prematurely that the ceremony was suddenly interrupted before it was fully completed.

If the original arrangement of the ritual was followed, the petrification state would have become permanent once the ritual was completely completed. It was precisely because the ritual was interrupted that these petrified people had the possibility of being rescued by conventional means.

Although Aiwass could also transform into a sin-beast and forcibly resurrect the troll wizard to take revenge, or unpetrify everyone in the city...but he ultimately did not resort to such tricks.

On the one hand, it was because he had Isabel by his side, so he was not alone and carefree; on the other hand, it was also because Aiwass was also deliberately guarding against the influence of the Tao himself, suppressing the depth of his dedication to the Tao by deliberately not doing things that were too devoted, so as to balance the power of the Tao as much as possible.

And these things don’t mean much.

After all, this fourth-level ritualist has little chance of successfully taking revenge on his sixth-level fellow transcendent, and Aiwass cannot be sure that he is absolutely reliable and not really brainwashed... and if it is just to show an attitude, the three ritualists who have turned into demons are enough.

The petrification curse in the city was not so difficult to lift after the array base was broken - after Aiwas took Zhu Tang and Iben to study for two days, they found the weakness of the ritual.

This curse ritual has two cores.

One of them was the troll wizard killed by Aiwass. He was the most important foundation of the formation, used to continuously mobilize the power stored in the ritual, transform it and condense it into a cursed star, thus covering the entire city with the petrification curse.

In addition, there is another core - that is the foundation of the ceremony, that is, the signed transaction slate.

The theory behind this ritual is simple.

Through the tradition of the Parthian Empire, the "city" is regarded as the property of the good master, and further as an extension of the good master's self. When the other party "agrees" to sign the contract, it is equivalent to ceding the property in the name of the master and being responsible for his own words and deeds in his own name, thus achieving a closed loop without secondary verification.

This petrification power was not provided by the benevolent master of Paradise City, it was indeed the power of amber. What the benevolent master did was just to pay the price of communicating with amber in advance, thereby leveraging the power of amber... allowing the will of the contract signer to reach amber directly.

Just by signing one's name, one can borrow the power of the Pillar God - this is truly a genius ritual.

At the same time, he used the contract to ensure that the supplier of power and the signatory of the contract did not communicate with each other; and through the troll wizard as the core of the ritual, he transformed this originally mild amber power that could be interrupted at any time and slowly solidified the entire environment into a violent, instantaneous attack that could actively resist the priority of extraordinary power and a petrifying curse that specifically attacks the living... to make the implementation method "instantly completed."

Because the signer of the contract had been completely petrified in the first place, he himself could not veto this method of operation. And since he did not say to stop, Amber would continue to output power until everything was completely solidified.

Even if the troll wizard, as a converter of power, has been damaged, since the signatories of the ceremony have not objected, the power amber that has been output will not be taken back. - If it were a different pillar god, such an operation would definitely not be possible. Even if the situation is not understood at the first time, as long as someone prays and complains, they will know what happened.

But Amber happened to be sleeping, and her authority was automatically executed like a machine... The good lord of Paradise City found the BUG of this "automatic operation system of divine power".

"From the perspective of a ritualist, he is truly a genius."

Zhu Tang praised: "And he is so bold - this is the highest level of praise for a 'wizard'."

"If it were someone else, it would be hard to remove this curse."

Aiwass sighed: "After all, he has transformed the pure power of amber into the curse of amber."

The original BUFF becomes a DEBUFF, so whether it is to resist or remove it, a seventh-level priority confrontation is required as the initiator of the ritual.

——But apart from Aiwass and Gray, how many people in this world have the ability to dispel and can hold the priority of the seventh energy level?

But this trick is not difficult for Aiwass.

Because when dealing with the Amber Disaster of the Church, Aiwass had already learned this lesson in advance.

The essence of this matter is similar to but opposite to the elf's Amber; Adil actively makes the opponent fight against himself if they want to dispel this state, while the principle of Amber is not to fight and become a BUFF that cannot be dispelled.

But no matter whether it is BUFF or DEBUFF, Aiwass happens to have the ability to remove them.

That is the thorn of sin.

At the beginning, Aiwas discovered that the fruit on the Sinthorn could dispel and cure the amber state. It was actually a kind of ability to disintegrate blessings, dispelling the blessing from the Amber Celestial Master.

Now, Aiwas has become a sin beast and extracted a large number of sinthorns. He uses these sinthorns to set up a new ritual... so that the power of sinthorns can be transmitted into the bodies of everyone in the city. This is equivalent to attacking them with sinthorns, triggering the ability of sinthorns to "seal extraordinary power", and forcibly dispelling this curse.

It's just that Aiwass transformed this "attack" into a "blessing" through the ritual, so he would not fight against any power other than the curse. Therefore, this ritual would not allow the power of the sin thorn to really hurt those people, thereby eliminating their professional level - although Aiwass could indeed do so.

This is exactly what Adil inspired Aiwass to do.

The same ritual theory, only needing to be reversed, can often become the principle for releasing the other party.

Of course, Aiwass was also worried... After all, the Sinthorn was most likely a force that came from nothingness.

But he eventually gave up worrying.

——There is no good or bad power, as long as you can use it, it’s fine.

So, as the ceremony began...

The entire petrified city was covered with black thorns that were as empty as shadows.

The dim yellow petrified traces began to gradually dissipate and melt within the range of influence of the sin thorns.
