Chapter 253: Shocking Secrets (Part 2)
In fact, when Richard deduced that the goddess used people's faith to gain divine power, he had already thought about how the demons obtained magic power. Although the magic power in this world is similar to the magic in Azeroth, Richard still has a certain curiosity about it. Hearing Ymir say this now, I felt a sense of disharmony. The demons are not friendly to humans. There are almost no humans in the demon continent. The few that are there are all slaves at the lowest level...
Ymir sighed and began to tell a story: "In the past, in some areas of the empire, there were some strange lords. Although they were high-ranking demons, they were kind to the lower-level creatures and even wanted to escape the slave class. Guess what the result was?"
Rocky stared at Ymir and replied: "I I heard that those lords are dead, killed by the slave owners."
Ymir pinched his waist, looked at Rocky and smiled: "They are indeed dead, but they were not killed by the forces that opposed the liberation of slaves. The common symptoms of these lords are actually rapid aging, decline in magic power, and unexplained diseases. We demons have not yet developed a poison that can cause this disease. So in my opinion, they sent themselves to death."
Rocky woke up and seemed to have listened carefully. Students generally answered questions by saying, "Is it because the supply of magic power was cut off after the lower-level creatures were liberated?"
Ymir nodded with satisfaction, "Survival of the fittest, this is the law of time. The truth of these things seems to be that the Demon King deliberately concealed this fact, about the nature of the demon power and even the symbiotic relationship with humans. You don't know these, but I know them very well."
Diluka was a little surprised: "With humans?"
Ymir was happy to help the studious Diluka like a teacher. Luca explained the knowledge: "Yes, demons and humans used to have a symbiotic relationship. Humans provided faith to demons, and demons provided protection to humans. It was a mutually beneficial and win-win situation. However, human desires and brains made them do some stupid things...so after the Midnight War, there were almost no humans on the Demon Continent. Some pioneers mastered new technologies, and they replaced other races with humans. Ultimately, the demons' energy source was not cut off, allowing them to live in this world."
"Hey." Ymir smiled and covered the back of his head and said, "It seems that I have said too much. Loki just said that you can ask questions after you beat me!"
Ymir raised his wand again, and the raging flames burned again.
This time the flames were extremely hot. The flames were not close to the body, but just standing there, one could feel the moisture in the body being evaporated by the heat of the flames.
Richard wiped the sweat off his face and said to Diluka and Freya, "Since he doesn't want to talk anymore, let's go. Now I will deal with Ymir's flames, and you attack him from both sides."
"Okay!"
Diluka and Freya immediately distanced themselves and prepared to attack from both lines of defense. Richard pushed forward with both hands, and the very cold shadow flames faced Ymir's fiery red lotus. The shadow flames were originally scalding, but with the power of Ligredo, who controls frost, it became a cold flame.
"A new divine power again. Today I have witnessed the power of several goddesses! This power is really cold. It must be the goddess of Gretz, Ligrado, right? Richard, there are really many kinds of energy in your body. Did you seize the divine power of this goddess? Hehe, the seized divine power is limited after all, but my power is unlimited! Let's see how long you can resist!"
Ymir suddenly increased the output of magic power. All of a sudden, the whole cave turned red. The raging fire had made Ymir's figure unclear, and the air in the cave gradually became thinner.
"You know too little about me. Do you think I'm alive because of the power of others?"
Richard pushed down with both hands and increased the energy output. The surging shadow energy slapped the swaying red lotus like waves. The sudden increase in energy made Ymir's arm tremble, and a gap appeared in the wall of fire. Freya took the opportunity to shoot an arrow, and Ymir twisted his waist to dodge. Unexpectedly, Richard increased the energy output again, and Ymir couldn't hold on for a moment, and a big hole was opened. Diluka, who had been aiming, was waiting for this opportunity. She rushed out like a bullet and attacked Ymir from the side. The loyal sword Nibelungen slid from the bottom to the back, and swung up at a beautiful angle.
"Wow! So powerful!"
Ymir instantly condensed a magic ball that exploded in front of him, repelling Diluka. Although the explosion of the magic ball also hurt him, if Diluka didn't use this trick, he could have cut off his arm, and that arm was still holding his magic suit. However, the repelled Diluka did not continue to attack Ymir but flew to the altar behind Ymir. Richard was very interested in the altar the moment he entered the cave, and now that Diluka had the chance, of course she had to pay special attention to it.
Diluka and her Nibelungen lived up to expectations. The stone altar was chopped to a tilt, revealing a beautiful cross-section, and a pile of paper pieces also flew into the sky.
Diluka laughed excitedly and said, "Richard, you guessed it right! There is indeed a problem here!"
Diluka picked up a handful of paper in the air and looked at the paper in his hand. It was full of names. Diluka happened to recognize all the names on this paper. They are all Ada's people, and they are all the people who joined the Doomsday Church this time!
Diluka raised the paper in his hand: "This is the so-called list of the Holy Land, right? The magic power surges on it. This should be a magic suit, right?"
"How could it be..." Ymir showed an anxious look for the first time. Ymir gritted his teeth and snapped his fingers. The pieces of paper flying in the air turned into pieces in an instant, including the pieces in Diluka's hand. They turned into pieces. Ymir didn't believe that they could be restored!
Ymir was very surprised. The altar was indeed hiding another magic suit of Ymir, but it was a secret that no one knew. He didn't understand why it was destroyed in an instant...
Looking at Ymir's expression, Richard felt very happy and said with a smile: "Ymir, you are surprised, right? You have your own unique source of information, and you have a lot of information. I wonder if you know anything about the library in Gretz? Our goddess likes knowledge very much. This magic suit of yours that can control the mind of a person as long as he writes down his name is found out by her. This trick doesn't work anymore, so use whatever tricks you have!"
