Chapter 24 Awakening (2)(1/3)

"They, the descendants of the Sword of Disaster, want to imitate a power of termination?" Cohen raised his eyebrows: "Imitation? Does that mean this power has a prototype to be imitated?"

"Prototype," Jedi thought seriously and nodded: "Yes, you can say that - imitating an extraordinary power as a prototype."

Cohen frowned and said thoughtfully:

"Supernatural power?"

"This is what we called the power of the end a long time ago. So," the security officer asked doubtfully, "the prototype's extraordinary power appeared before the war of the end - that is, at least seven hundred years ago?"

"Longer, much longer than you think." Jedi took a breath, recalled the discussion with other inheritors, and said calmly:

"The 'prototype' you call has appeared from the period of kings to the ancient empire, but the most famous record was at the peak of the first civil strife in the ancient empire - there was a possessor of the extraordinary power of the 'prototype'

, led troops into the capital of triumph and cut off the head of the Supreme Emperor."

Cut off...

emperor……

Head?

Cohen opened his mouth in surprise:

"Emperor? I still believe you when you say it was a weak final empire, but it was a great ancient empire! Why hasn't this been mentioned in history classes?"

"During the two generations of empires, the emperor was assassinated more than once, and there were two successful examples. As for why you, as a noble, don't know..." Jedi showed a proud smile:

"First of all, due to well-known reasons, there are not many historical materials of the two empires left in the stars. If you want to find the most complete historical materials, you have to go to the Rise and Fall Pavilion of the Suye Dynasty, or here, the Truth Library of the Tower of End;

Secondly, after all, the Bright Star royal family is the descendant of the Carruther royal family. Even if they knew this, do you think the High King would be happy to put 'The Emperor was beheaded by the army' into the book?"

"Back to the topic," Jedi sat down cross-legged - this is Shao's cross-legged sitting method. Compared with his other kneeling method, Jedi felt that this Far Eastern sitting method was particularly expert-like - patting himself.

The sword:

"I heard that the guy who killed the emperor relied on this mysterious prototype extraordinary power to defeat almost all opponents of his time. Even mages had to be careful when meeting him."

"All opponents?" Cohen asked in surprise: "What is so powerful about this prototype?"

"I don't know," Jedi frowned: "It is recorded in Crassus's own notes that the biggest characteristic of that kind of extraordinary power is that it has no characteristics."

"No characteristics?"

Jedi spread his hands and said irresponsibly: "Anyway, this is what Crassus wrote a hundred years ago."

"That's not right," Cohen frowned and doubted: "If this kind of extraordinary power is really so powerful, wouldn't it have been learned by everyone for more than a thousand years, and now it has become the most popular terminal?

Do you have the power?"

"Yes, why hasn't it been widely circulated? This is the weird part," Jedi said with a mysterious look on his face, as if you were about to ask me: "We figured this out."

Cohen raised his eyebrows, folded his arms and refused to ask.

Jedi raised the corners of his mouth and frowned, staring at Cohen fiercely.

But the latter remained indifferent, as if he just came to the library to take a walk and listen to stories.

Finally, Jedi rolled his eyes at Cohen, but couldn't help but feel the desire to "talk", and said helplessly:

"The notes of Crassus are vague, but there is a clear record of the awakening and improvement of this power - this was a joint study between him and another inheritor at that time."

Cohen stared at him curiously.

Jedi opened his mouth softly and spat out words with a distinct Far Eastern color, like a verse:

"Through life and death, one becomes extraordinary; through survival and death, one reaches the peak."

Cohen stared, opened his mouth, and shook his head twice.

don't know.

Jedi sighed: "Our normal power of termination, including the four original extraordinary powers, must be awakened through unremitting swordsmanship and combat practice."

"However, this 'prototype' cannot be awakened through practice, nor can it be improved through proficiency," Jedi narrowed his eyes mysteriously:

"As the power of termination, it can only be used when the owner is in danger of life and is about to die..."

"There is a slight chance of awakening."

Cohen's eyes widened.

"It has experienced life and death to become extraordinary, and it has experienced existence and death to reach the peak - it can only awaken in the realm of mortality."

The huge library of truth is filled with silence.

Three seconds later, Cohen opened his mouth in disbelief: "No way! So people who have this kind of prototype termination power are all..."

"Well," Jedi frowned, full of doubt and confusion, and uttered a few words:

"Those who have experienced death."

With an ugly expression, Cohen touched his abdomen, where the wound pierced by the calamity swordsman of the Blood Bottle Gang still seemed to be aching.

Jedi's face was complicated and he said: "The awakeners of this prototype end power are the lucky few on the battlefield - they can only awaken after suffering serious injuries that will kill them, and I guess that most of them have awakened not long ago.

Later, he died of his injuries."

"For example, your throat was cut and you didn't die immediately. Then you awakened this power, and then with the recovery power of a dragon, you repaired the wound and stood up alive?" Cohen frowned: "It doesn't sound like a human can do it.

What happened?"

The vigilance officer shook his head in disbelief... He could not understand the meaning of this power.

"But it appeared after all." His teacher lowered his head.

"I have another guess. Shao agrees with me on this point." Under Cohen's breathless gaze, Jedi slowly stated his reasoning:

"The stronger the strength, such as the extreme realm and the super level, if you want to increase the power of termination, the conditions may be more stringent, the requirements for the 'mortal realm' will be more severe, and the mortality rate will be higher——

That’s why Crassus wanted to imitate rather than copy the original.”

Cohen sighed: "I guess that aura of madness and violence is the sequela of this 'seeking death' power?"

Jedi nodded: "So even the lucky ones who survive, after gaining this kind of power, if they want to improve and become stronger, they must go through more tragic death experiences again and again...Similarly, very few people survive,

Others just…”

"So," Jedi sighed:

"There's no way it could spread on a large scale."

"Don't you think it's very contradictory!" Cohen raised his hands on the ground and protested: "If you want to wake up, go for death! If you want to become stronger, go for death! - Why do I practice this kind of finishing power?"

"Haha, becoming stronger is not necessarily about survival," Jedi Tafner, the ultimate inheritor of the End Tower, chuckled: "Don't underestimate people's determination to pursue power and become strong."

"Isn't Crassus, the 'Sword of Disaster', an example? Why do you think he would imitate this high-risk finishing power?"

Cohen frowned.

strength?

Become stronger?

Raphael…

What are you doing for...

Cohen touched his head and remembered a question:

"Besides the Emperor Slayer, are there any other records of awakened people? Who was the first awakened person in history?"

"Didn't I tell you?" Jedi scratched his head inelegantly. If Director Luobik were here, he would recognize this scratching gesture that is almost exactly the same as Cohen's: "We have looked through all the classics, and Shao even

Went to Suye’s Xingde Pavilion..."

"The first suspicious record of it appeared in the savage period, at the Iron-Blooded King's world-famous 'humanity's last line of defense'. A seriously injured sixteen-year-old soldier awakened an extraordinary power that could not be improved, and it was briefly rumored as a joke.

The second time it appeared in the period of kings, on the eve of the Battle of Chasing the Saints, was that an eighteen-year-old mortal infantry warrior came back alive from the siege of the orcs alone, and later mastered extraordinary power and became a super-level warrior."

"I guess, apart from 'experiencing death' and the fact that they are all young," Cohen scratched his head: "You still haven't discovered anything, right?"

Jedi stared at him for a long time.

"No, we did find something." Jedi pondered:

"These people have one more thing in common."

"What do they have in common?" Cohen immediately became energetic and opened his eyes wide.

"The two people in front," Jedi showed a mysterious smile: "They have all experienced confrontations with orcs. They awakened the prototype extraordinary power during the war between humans and orcs."

"That's the key."

"Wait a minute!" Cohen looked at the teacher's evil smile and remembered the teacher's bad taste with vigilance. He couldn't help but swallow hard: "I recognize this expression..."

"One person is in a tight siege, and the other person is on the defensive line." The security officer raised his hands, crossed them in front of his chest, made an exaggerated warning gesture, and frowned: "Are you trying to say..."

Jedi looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"You must have done some indescribable things with the orcs... to awaken that prototype, right?"

After Cohen finished speaking, the familiar sound of wind came as expected!

"Boom!"
