Chapter 143 Sin Card: Butterfly of Rebellious Flame
When he touched it, a vertical crimson magic circle was instantly formed.
The red crystal, which was two circles larger than Aiwass, was less than half the radius of the magic circle.
Under the reflection of the magic circle, the silver-white sealing rune was instantly released.
But the red crystal did not ooze blood. Instead, it was covered with cracks and disintegrated.
And at the moment the red crystal container disintegrated, the magic circle whizzed through the sleeping Yulia and appeared behind her.
In the large, blank circle at the center of the dark red magic circle, a complex crimson butterfly pattern suddenly emerged, as if it had brought something out of Yulia's body as it passed through her.
A dark circular mark was imprinted on the circle in the middle, covering the butterfly.
Aiwass subconsciously picked up Yulia with one hand, while the other hand was still stretched forward, maintaining the magic circle perpendicular to the ground.
The next moment, the magic circle began to collapse from the outermost circle.
Circle after circle shrank, until only the crimson ring in the middle, about a man's height, remained. The butterfly pattern inside was still slightly shifting, as if breathing.
Then, the ring suddenly shrank to its extreme - and Aiwass woke up from the hallucination.
The crimson chain retracted into Aiwass's body.
The butterfly ring that had only appeared in an illusion before now appeared between the two of them, with a diameter of about a palm, and remained level with the ground.
Two brand new tarot cards were also slowly printed out from the void, one above and one below. They appeared at the top and bottom of the circle, with red lightning connecting the two cards, as if some kind of magnetic force was drawing them closer.
The sun below was originally supposed to be a naked child sitting on a white horse, bathed in brilliant golden sunlight, holding high a flag symbolizing victory.
But now, it had transformed into a swirling, brilliant, sacred golden sun. Two little angels, one on each side, raised their hands high, praising the sun. Around the sun's swirling golden flames, the shadowy images of the twelve constellations appeared.
The Hanged Man was originally a saint, his hands tied behind his back, hanging upside down from a tree. A halo appeared above his head, and he appeared peaceful despite his immense pain.
The newly reborn Hanged Man card is blue-green in color, balancing the golden "Sun" card. One of his feet is hung by a snake on an ankh, which descends from the sun, while the other foot is struck with a holy nail. Beneath his head is a giant snake, nestled in a dark, dark abyss.
The Hanged Man's hands were freed, stretched out to the lower left and right corners. Holy nails were also struck on his palms, each emitting a hazy glow.
He was clearly hanging upside down, with a bottomless abyss with a giant snake below him, but his feet and hands formed a sacred arrow, pointing high up at the sun in the sky.
As the two cards gradually appear and slowly move towards the center.
The flames in Yulia's body also continued to flow out and flow into the butterfly magic circle in the middle.
Finally, as the two cards came together, it suddenly burst into a brilliant light.
And Yulia, with empty eyes, seemed to suddenly wake up from a hallucination.
She suddenly opened her eyes wide, as if she wanted to say something.
But all the strength in her body was drained away, and she suddenly became extremely tired. Before she could even say a word, she fell into a coma.
Yulia fell backwards, and Lily rushed over and hugged her immediately.
She placed her hand on Yulia's neck and felt a normal pulse... and normal body temperature.
She nodded to Aiwass with some joy.
——Success!
Lily also wanted to cheer, but she was afraid of disturbing Aiwass's ceremony.
"This is simply a miracle..."
The Shadow Demon muttered softly, "It's actually a complete ritual of sin!"
After witnessing the entire ceremony, it felt like it might be crazy.
Where did its owner learn about the ritual of the great sin?
The blasphemous ritual that could seal a higher-level phantom demon actually worked...
……broken.
Will it be the next one to be sealed in?
Shadow Demon fell into deep thought.
The three-in-one card now transformed into a deep red, crystal-clear card with a butterfly pattern outlined in black.
It seemed to have come to life at this moment, flying in the air on its own, and finally spinning and stopping in front of Aiwas.
Aiwass stretched out his right hand, tapped the card lightly, and wrote his name.
The corresponding attributes also appear on the card:
[Capital Sin: Flame-Butterfly (Sun, Hanged Man)]
[Level: 28 (Junior)]
[Path of Devotion, Fire Attribute]
This was the first beast of sin that Aiwass tamed.
As Aiwass had expected, the Flame-Butterfly's current level wasn't high, and its personality wasn't particularly aggressive. The personality of a juvenile Phantom Demon was closely tied to its host... after all, they'd experienced the same things and shared memories.
In a sense, it is like Aiwass's other sister, or another personality of Yulia.
Perhaps because of this, Aiwass's seal was not hindered in any way.
Generally speaking, a phantom demon had to be beaten to the point of near death before it could be sealed. Aiwass had also made a special follow-up plan... but in the end, it was completely useless.
This Poké Ball was thrown over and caught directly.
No wonder, in the original history, even after the Flame Butterfly lost control and devoured Yulia's soul and personality, it always maintained restraint when facing the players...
Is this the phantom demon of the way of dedication?
Then, two uses of this card emerged.
【Upright Summoning: Flame Butterfly】
[Necessary: Fire 5]
【Maintenance: Fire 5*per minute*per】
【Instant, Summon, Echo】
[Effect: Summons a Flame Butterfly of a different type. The Flame Butterfly is considered a summoned creature. After locking onto a target, the Flame Butterfly will automatically track it and self-destruct to produce explosive/high-temperature/healing/purification effects. The power increases with the level of "Sin: Flame Butterfly". After being dispersed, the Flame Butterfly will respawn at the same location. The Flame Butterfly can be disbanded at any time and respawn nearby.]
[Reversed Summoning: Flame Butterfly]
[Necessary: Fire 5]
【Maintenance: Fire 5*Daily】
【Action, Summon, Repeat】
[Effect: Summons the Sloth Beast·Butterfly of Rebellious Flame to fight for you. The Rebellious Flame Butterfly is considered a summoned creature. When not in combat, the Sloth Beast·Butterfly of Rebellious Flame can transform into a Flame Butterfly and enter a follower state. Only one Sin Beast can exist at a time.]
[Effect: Use again to command the Flame-Butterfly to regenerate or self-destruct]
——This is the first time that Aiwass got the "Echo" and "Repeat" phantom cards!
Echo means that this card can be used countless times in a day, and each time has the same effect; while Repeat means that it can be used again with different effects.
However, the upright and reversed positions of this card are regarded as "The Sun" and "The Hanged Man" respectively, so each can be used once.
In other words, Aiwass can summon different types of fire butterflies as needed to serve as his attack methods. Because the upright summon can be used countless times, this is equivalent to Aiwass gaining a new growth-oriented skill - he can choose an effect from explosion/high temperature/healing/purification, and it seems to have an area effect!
Although each butterfly costs five mana, it is an instant spell.
This meant that Aiwass could instantly summon seven or eight butterflies, creating a terrifying burst. Furthermore, Aiwass also had the ability to heal from a distance... a skill that even priests didn't have.
In addition, he can also directly summon the original body of the Flame-Rebellious Butterfly.
However, Aiwass felt that without other cards to enhance the third-level Flame Butterfly, its combat effectiveness might not be very high for the time being. He still had to feed it some dog food.
Unfortunately, Aiwass currently has no dog food, so he can only spend his life to buy it - his own flesh and blood is the dog food.
If Shadow Fiend is a little frugal, he can squeeze it out!
That being said, the Shadow Fiend still needed to be fed. If he didn't, Aiwass wouldn't be able to seal it anymore.
Whether it is a small butterfly or a large butterfly, it is considered a summoned creature.
Being considered a summoned creature means that as long as they meet the conditions, they can benefit from the effects of other cards at any time!
The [Enchantment Card: Shadow Blade] specifically requires attachment to a weapon, so the unarmed Flame Butterfly cannot be used for the time being. However, if Aiwass can summon a large beast with its own weapon in the future, he can also benefit from Shadow Blade's bonus. And Aiwass doesn't need to touch its weapon; he can simply overlap the two cards.
For now, only [Spell Card: Shadow Cloak] can be used for Butterfly.
If the Flame Butterfly itself is controlled, Aiwass can target it, free it from control, and turn invisible if necessary.
However, the Flame-Rebellious Butterfly can be resurrected or self-destruct once, so it seems unnecessary.
Logically speaking, the reverse summoning should have a special effect.
This means that after being summoned, the effects of the domain and aura will take effect immediately. However, perhaps the little butterfly is still in its larval stage, so it has not yet received this entry.
Unfortunately, Aiwass was out of mana and couldn't summon the Flame-Bearing Butterfly right away to see how it would work.
When you wake up tomorrow, summon the little butterfly!
He still had some light mana left, so he might as well feed it to the Shadow Fiend. It had also worked hard during the advancement ritual.
But before that...
"...I'll use the illumination technique to heal Yuli first."
Aiwass looked at Yulia lying in Lily's arms and smiled gently, happy and reassuring.
He stroked Yulia's soft hair, feeling her body temperature return to normal. Suddenly, he felt like crying.
Lily whispered, "So, Miss Yulia is free from the phantom?"
"Ah... yes."
Aiwass replied softly, "Her destiny now belongs only to her."
When he said this, he was even a little dazed for a moment.
The memories of the past ten years or so he had spent with Yulia came to his mind, making his nose feel sore and his eyes moist.
But the real feeling of changing his destiny, which he actually had in his hands, made Aiwas excited and uneasy.
Yulia's fate was really changed.
The thing that Aiwass had been worried about for so long turned out to be so simple and easy to do...
The feeling of saving others is truly wonderful, especially those you care about.
Aiwass realized one thing very clearly:
——I seem to be able to do more, I seem to be really amazing.
I seem to...
It can really change the world.
Update completed!! The little butterfly is sealed, please vote at the end of the month!
