"Do you know? I used to be the most powerful person in this world, even the gods couldn't do anything to me. As long as I can find my body, I can revive again."
"So?"
<...Chapter 214 Your Body is Mine
Bai Wei took the bone in his hand and rubbed it gently.
The bones turned into powder at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then overflowed from between the fingers and completely dissipated in the white snow.
But Bai Wei felt that the power of this bone had been taken back, just like a wanderer who had been lost for a long time suddenly returned home. At first it was full of energy, but soon it calmed down and completely became one.
[Return of the Soul], completed.
"You... are Visas." A deep voice sounded, with a bit of excitement in the tone, "I have never... I have never seen anyone who can destroy that bone, not even leave a mark. Not only me, but also those clergymen of the church, using divine magic, can't... do it."
This is a bit incoherent.
Bai Wei turned around and looked.
The person who spoke was naturally Caesar. Although he only had a head left, he was not completely dead yet.
The forbidden magic engraved on his body is still in effect.
However, without the blessing of this bone, he was only a few minutes away from complete death.
But he was obviously unwilling to give up and was still twisting his head desperately, as if he wanted to get closer to Bai Wei.
"Visas, Lord Visas!" He tried to speak louder, but the sound he made was still like a broken accordion. "I have always admired you, always have. I know all your deeds and I admire you, really."
"Stop saying those meaningless words." Bai Wei interrupted calmly, "No one can save you now, including me... I have already taken back the power of this bone, and I have no way to give it away anymore."
Bai Wei's words made Xize's expression freeze. He still couldn't believe it. He said as if he was desperately trying to grasp the last straw: "No, no, no, if it were you, how could there be no way? How could there be something in this world that you can't do?! Please rest assured, if you are willing to save me, then I will definitely..."
Caesar's voice became smaller and smaller.
Because he found that no matter what he said, Bai Wei just looked at him quietly.
This made him realize that it was indeed impossible.
He is really going to die.
Bai Wei saw that Xize's body, which had been motionless for a long time, suddenly trembled.
It was as if he was desperately suppressing his anger, or as if he was crying in despair.
"Why, why..." Caesar said, "Why do you have to kill me? I can't accept it, I can't accept it!"
"That little bitch, that little bitch! She is the same person as me, the same person as me! Why did you choose her and not me?!"
His body was shaking more and more violently, like a puppet that was losing control after half of its strings were broken.
"I can do it better than she can! I'm more capable than she is! I've been planning this for ten years, ten whole years... and she knows nothing!"
"But why did you help her kill me?! Even after I had already bowed my head, you still didn't want to let me go, why?!"
"Just because I stole my brother's score? If it was my brother, he would never be able to do what I did!"
"He will be killed by even more cruel guys, and his score will be taken away by those upper-class people! No one can save him, no one!"
"In that case, what's wrong with me taking his score?!"
"What's wrong with that?"
"Hasn't that woman ever killed anyone?! Hasn't she ever done something like this?! I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"
Caesar roared at Bai Wei hysterically.
Bai Wei's expression didn't change much, and he was obviously not surprised by Caesar's reaction.
He walked to Caesar's head, slowly squatted down, and looked at Caesar again at close range.
"Although there are many things I can say to answer you, there is no need to do so." Bai Wei said slowly, "I just want to know, if your brother was not killed by you, but was killed by those upper-class people you hate, and you happen to have a chance to let me help you get revenge, and the price is... everything you have."
"So, will you ask me for this?"
"Your brother has no chance of survival. If you use my power, you will die as well."
Bai Wei stared at Caesar.
"Will you seek a deal from me?"
"Tell me the truth."
Caesar opened his mouth, wanting to say that he would.
But those two words were like a fishbone stuck in my throat, and I couldn't spit them out no matter what.
Bai Wei smiled: "See, there was no possibility for us to cooperate from the beginning, because you would never risk your life for anyone, even if that person is your brother, or even yourself."
After saying that, Bai Wei stood up slowly and stretched.
"If you think of me as a businessman, I would certainly prefer this child." He shrugged. "After all, risking everything for a stranger who can't be saved, what business could be more profitable than this?"
After saying this, Bai Wei turned and left.
Caesar stared blankly at Bai Wei's back.
When he was about to disappear from sight, he yelled, "No, I don't accept it! I don't accept it!"
His body burst out with the last bit of strength, rushed over and grabbed his head.
However, the notes on his body had been taken away by Bai Wei, and all that was left was the fragmented music score.
"I want to live, I want to live!" He pressed his head on his neck frantically, "My score is still there! I haven't lost yet, I can start over again! I can start over again!"
“What Visas, what Taichu, what Lord of Holy Sound, I will kill you all… kill you all…”
"Kill them all..."
With a "puff" sound.
He fell into the snow again, watching his body collapse lifelessly in front of him after the last bit of strength was squeezed out of it, and the last bit of silver on his body was quickly dimming.
"No, don't do that."
"Brother... help me again, please... help me again..."
His voice became smaller and smaller.
"Help me again, help me..."
“Please…”
In the end, only the whispers that no one could hear were left.
"pain……"
"it hurts……"
…
Amid the jolt, Hevinia suddenly opened her eyes.
An indescribable pain surged into her heart, causing her to involuntarily turn her head and vomit large mouthfuls of blood.
But the blood did not just fall on the floor. A basin came over in time to catch the blood.
Hevinia didn't think anything was wrong at first, until she finished vomiting and turned to look at the hand holding the basin, her pupils narrowed slightly.
Because it was clearly her own hand.
Still the right hand.
She immediately understood what was going on and asked in a low voice, "Is it over, Mr. Visas?"
"Yes." Bai Wei's voice sounded, and Hevinia made an "OK" gesture to her with her right hand. "Although the process was a bit troublesome, the result was still a great success... Do you want to take a look?"
After Bai Wei finished speaking, Hevinia felt her right hand was back under her control.
After a brief silence, she lowered her head to look at her body and discovered that there were already four golden notes "one, three, five, seven" in the golden score.
"These four notes can be used directly for the ceremony." Bai Wei said calmly, "I didn't take the remaining golden notes that can't be used for the ceremony."
After hearing Bai Wei's words, Hewinia nodded, said nothing, and just leaned against the wall quietly.
On the deck, to be precise.
Yes, Helvinia was already on the ship bound for the First Academy.
"So quiet?" Bai Wei said with a smile, "I thought you would have a lot of questions to ask me after you got up. You know, it's very troublesome to clean up after you this time. After all, you left the dock in front of everyone, and you were gone for such a long time, and you even changed your clothes. It's really not easy to make everyone believe that you didn't do anything."
"Of course, I think you can feel it... After all, this is your own body."
Hevinia naturally knew what Bai Wei was talking about.
The price of power.
That basin of blood is the best example.
It's easy to imagine how many times Bai Wei had used [Domination] in order to allow her to return to the ship without being suspected, so much so that now Hevinia felt as if she had died once.
After a brief silence, Helvinia asked, "How long can I live?"
"If you stop now," Bai Wei said, "you can still live for a few more years. If you continue... it depends on how many times you use it next."
Yes, Hevinia's body was also rapidly reaching its limit.
Although her body is much better than Ulu and Jellal, if it were Ulu and Jellal, their bodies would definitely not have lasted until now.
But even so, Hevinia's body still cannot use the white power unlimitedly.
This is why Bai Wei only tried [Contemplation] once when fighting with Xize, and did not use [Termination] and [Domination] much, relying entirely on the power increase after the first level of descent.
He had tried his best to protect Hevinia, but that was all he could do.
Even though the bones that could increase strength were recovered, there was no way bones could offset the price paid, at least not even one bone.
The only thing that can use these powers for free is Visas' own body.
"If you do something so willful again..." Bai Wei said slowly, "You won't even be able to make it to the grand ceremony."
Hevinia naturally heard the warning in Bai Wei's words, so she nodded slightly and said, "If that day really comes, please tell me in advance."
"When the time comes, your body will tell you without me saying anything."
"knew."
Seeing Hevinia's reaction, Bai Wei said with a soft "tsk", and then asked: "Do you think this is really worth it? Just for the guy who can't be saved?"
As Bai Wei spoke, he raised Hevinia's left hand and tapped her head gently with his index finger.
"Now, your body belongs to me. If I don't want you to, you can't even go to the toilet." Bai Wei said calmly, "You've lost your freedom, just for... a breath?"
"I have already served you and my life is yours." Helvinia said calmly, "It doesn't matter to me whether I am free or not."
"If you really thought that way, you wouldn't have let me kill that guy." Bai Wei said with a smile, "Speaking of which, Hevinia, you still haven't told me why you collect musical notes and want to play the seven-tone song to get the Lord of Holy Music."
"Do you care?" Helvinia said, "It's an impossible wish, do you want to know?"
"Why not? I'm really curious." Bai Wei said, "Most people's wishes to the gods can be guessed, such as the guy named Xi Ze. He looks very similar to you, he also has a score, he is also plundering the sound, and he also wants to monopolize the Lord of Holy Sound. But I'm sure that what he wants is not the same thing as what you want."
Bai Wei paused, then shrugged Hevinia's shoulders.
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to tell me. After all, I'm not a demon who likes to force others."
After hearing Bai Wei's words, Hewinia slowly closed her eyes, as if thinking about something.
Bai Wei did not say anything, but just waited quietly for Hevinia's answer.
The room was so quiet that one could hear the sound of oars paddling the lake water outside, and time seemed to have stopped at this moment.
It was unknown how long it had been before Hevinia slowly opened her eyes. As if she had made up her mind, she said softly, "Mr. Visas."
"Go ahead." Bai Wei acted like a caring older sister, "I'm listening."
"Can I go to the bathroom?" Helvinia said. "It's urgent."
"...Go ahead." Bai Wei naturally heard Hevinia's refusal, but he just smiled and didn't care, "I should take a rest too."
Then, Hevinia felt her body come back under her control.
So she got up from the bed and walked out of the room.
Saying that going to the toilet was just an excuse, Hevinia came to the deck. The cold wind wrapped in ice and snow blew on her face, like a knife cutting.
She turned her head and looked in the direction of the three colleges.
But there was nothing to see. All I could see was the boundless lake and the falling snow.
She suddenly said, "Mr. Visas."
"Um."
"Can you kill the Lord of the Holy Voice?" Helvinia asked, "at this ceremony."
"...Unfortunately, no, at least not now." Bai Wei replied, "The Lord of Holy Sound is a complete God. I have no way of defeating Him now. I can only defeat Him after I regain my complete body."
“I see.”
Hevinia slowly closed her eyes and spoke softly.
"I see."
