Chapter 563: Paruriel Can Do Anything
When he heard Parulil's voice and saw this familiar face, Amber did not feel any emotion like he did when he saw Salvador. Instead, he just felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
Especially when he saw the soul coin in Parulil's hand, Amberxiu's face became even uglier.
Paruliel kicked away the frightened little demon, slowly walked to the huge magic mirror, and reached out to touch it.
Melina had heard many reminders and knew that the demon in front of her was very dangerous, so she subconsciously drew the sword at her waist to stop the devil from approaching her father.
With a flash of sword light, the flaming sword slashed towards Parulil, but Melina's sword finally stopped on the head of this succubus because her wrists were firmly tied by Parulil's tail.
Parulil glanced at Melina and said in surprise: "This sword has the power of Zariel. You are not a small character who was tricked by him to be cannon fodder?"
Melina kept silent. The branches of the Whispering Tree grew out from under her feet and quickly wrapped around Parulil's body.
Paruliel was shocked this time. The special ability of the Whispering Tree could also affect her.
But Paruliel is no longer a mortal after all.
A scimitar appeared in Parulil's palm, the blade gleamed like snow, and it cut off several branches of the Whispering Tree. Melina screamed in pain, and the blade seemed to be cutting her body.
A layer of hazy light adhered to the wound, which actually had the effect of preventing the Whispering Tree from regenerating.
Although Melina was injured and the Whispering Tree's magic-banning effect seemed ineffective, she had no intention of retreating. Instead, she became more eager to fight.
After putting away the power of the Whispering Tree, Melina fought the lust demon with all her might.
The scimitar and the long sword collided with each other, making a brilliant sound.
Amberxiu originally wanted to call a halt. He had guessed that Paruliel, like Salvador, was no longer a mortal, but a "quasi-divine power" blessed by the laws of Hell. The Whispering Tree had no effect on her, and the power of gods did have an irresistible effect on mortals.
But upon closer inspection, it seemed that Paruriel was simply sparring with Melina using combat skills.
Remembering this woman's habits, Amber shut his mouth and let Melina have a good fight.
Since she was born, Melina has only had two kinds of opponents: losers who are easily crushed by her, and strong people who can easily crush her.
There were almost no evenly matched battles, which made Melina, a death knight born for battle, always feel unsatisfied.
This time, Melina met an opponent of equal strength.
The two of them fought fiercely in front of Amber. Melina used all the fighting skills that Gareth taught her. Her body was like it had no bones. Every joint could be disassembled and flipped at will, and there was no trace of any attack direction. Parulil did not use any magic, but fought Melina with her agile body movements like falling leaves.
The battle lasted for a full three minutes, and the swords clashed countless times, which made Amberxiu feel his head buzzing.
After the last crisp collision, the scimitar in Parulil's hand finally broke into two pieces, and Melina's flaming sword slashed towards his neck.
But this time, the sword tip was pinched by two fingers of Parulil. Parulil snapped her fingers, and a ray of magical light fell on Melina.
The spell of immobilizing the dead was a very common spell, and the hit rate was not very high under normal circumstances. Melina was fully equipped with magic equipment, so it was not difficult for her to resist this spell. However, the caster was a god, and the resistance of mortals was equivalent to non-existent.
Melina was fixed by the magic beam. Paruriel curiously walked around Melina and said to Amber, "It's an interesting kid. Give it to me. How about it?"
Amber Xiu decisively refused and said, "Don't even think about it. Melina is my daughter."
Parulil showed a shocked expression this time, but he was not surprised that Amber, a spirit in the mirror, could give birth to a child. He was shocked: "Would a woman like you be willing to give birth to a child for you? Would a person like you be willing to raise a child? You are the only one who actually raised a child..."
Parulil looked at Melina, then at Amberxiu, and asked, "Isn't she your biological child? She doesn't look like you at all."
Amber: ...
Parulil looked at Amber's weird expression and couldn't help laughing. She then said, "Okay, no more jokes. I'm here because you invited me. Now let me see whether I should destroy this place first or kill you first."
There was an extra soul coin in Parulil's hand, which kept rolling between her fingers.
Amber looked at the soul coin and couldn't help but say, "Have you been deceiving yourself until now? You don't have the power of destiny at all. Flipping the coin is just an excuse."
With a snap, the soul coin was crushed into pieces by Paruliel.
Seeing this, Amber knew that Paruriel had not let go of the past.
Amber thought back to their first meeting.
It was in a tavern in the Unholy Song. Neither Parulil nor Ambersh were tieflings, so they seemed to share the same suffering in an environment where everyone had horns.
Amber was still young at that time, and he also liked this kind of beautiful and well-built older sister. He took the initiative to talk to her, and intentionally or unintentionally showed off that he had just become a prophecy wizard.
But this was the beginning of Amber's tragedy.
He shouldn't have let Paruriel know about the profession of prophecy mage.
At that time, in order to show off his skills, Amberxiu performed a coin toss in front of Parulil, and he was 100% sure to win, which successfully earned the exclamation of this exotic beauty.
But after the exclamation, the beautiful lady was not interested in Amberxiu as a person, nor did she plan to go back to the room with him to discuss in depth. Instead, she was very interested in the profession of the prophecy mage.
The two chatted for the whole night. Although Amber Xiu didn't really get any advantage, it was still quite comfortable to chat with a beautiful woman.
As they chatted, Amber found that Paruriel's attention was completely attracted by the power of destiny, and she kept asking about everything related to the prophecy mage. In the end, Amber could only show her the "Introduction to the Prophecy Mage" that he had just written halfway.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
However, Paruliel watched it intently for the entire night, and when the pub was about to close, she still didn't understand much of it.
Amber Xiu also comforted him with a few words at the time. He said that getting started with the power of destiny requires talent and fate. No matter how smart a person is, sometimes they just can't understand it.
However, Parulil said firmly: "I don't believe there is anything in this world that I can't learn."
Amberxiu didn't understand the true meaning of this sentence at that time. It was not until Parulil kidnapped him that he realized he had met a real madman.
In order to master the power of prophecy, Paruliel tied Ambershu to her side, and Ambershu found that he had no power to fight back.
This woman seemed to be just as she said, knowing everything. Her magic attainments were higher than Amber's, her combat skills could easily crush a group of elven rangers, and her alchemy level was also far higher than Amber's.
What made Amberxiu even more helpless was that this woman was not human and had an extraordinary ability to sense the emotions of all living things. That was to say, Amberxiu could not lie in front of her at all, because she could easily sense Amberxiu's hidden hostility and malice, and no language trap could escape Paruliel's perception.
He was kidnapped for three months, and Parulil did not abuse him. She just asked him to guide her over and over again, hoping that he could become a prophecy wizard.
"If it's heads up, this person will die, and if it's tails up, the person next to him will die... Is that how it works?"
Parulil pointed at a group of blind bandits, flipped a coin, and controlled the life and death of others, but she didn't care. Amber explained to her again and again that this was not the power of prophecy, it was drawing the target and shooting it yourself, the real power of prophecy was to see the target that would be hit in the future.
Parulil could understand the literal meaning, but she could not see the future.
So, in a rage, she killed everyone, including the merchants who were robbed by bandits and were grateful to Paruliel.
Amber knew that this woman was a complete lunatic.
The memories came to an abrupt end as Paruliel took out the coin again and threw it into the air.
Parulil said slowly: "If it's heads, I will kill your daughter first. If it's tails, I will kill everyone here. I know you can control the heads and tails of the coin. Now you choose."
Amber sighed, and before the coin fell, he said to Paruriel: "I will no longer use the power of destiny."
The falling soul coin passed through Parulil's fingers, hit the ground with a clang, bounced off, and then began to spin on the ground.
Parulil was surprised and said, "You didn't lie. You gave up this power?"
Amber nodded and said, "That's exactly why I invited you here. Parulil, you kidnapped me and tortured me. In the end, I killed you with the help of fate, and the hatred between us is settled. Now, I want to break the shackles that fate has given me, and I would like to ask you to help me.
"Can't you do anything? I want to end the bloody battle, can you do it? When I transcend the shackles of fate, maybe that will be the time when the goddess of fate favors you."
