Chapter 1654 - 1133: The Last Pilgrimage Bell (Part 2)

What a pity...

"No, it’s not that complicated."

Reiger shook his head dismissively.

"Let’s just walk over."

Altoria was taken aback at those words.

Walk straight over?

How to walk?

Would Morse voluntarily make way for them?

That seems impossible, right?

As Altoria mocked in her heart, she was completely stunned by the events of the next moment.

"Zheng—"

Reiger simply walked forward, ignoring Morse’s presence, as a dazzling radiance suddenly burst forth from his body.

It was a kind of light that was sacred, pure, allowing not the slightest impurity.

"■■■■■■■■■■■■——!!!"

Under the illumination of the dazzling light, all the Morse that approached Reiger emitted silent screams, either retreating in panic or disappearing without a trace, seemingly purified.

"This...?!"

Altoria’s eyes widened, her face full of astonishment.

"What kind of power is this?"

If it were the past Altoria, she might have simply viewed this as one of Reiger’s special abilities.

But after ringing the five Pilgrimage Bells and greatly increasing her power, Altoria was no longer an ignorant novice; although not as powerful as Morgan, who can manipulate time and space as a grand magician, she could somewhat discern that the power Reiger was using at that moment was quite different from magic or sorcery.

It was a kind of power that shouldn’t exist in this world.

The fairies from the Inner Sea of the Star instinctively sensed this fact.

And she was right.

At that moment, Reiger was using not Magic, but Sorcery.

Like the Reverse Techniques, which can transform negative sorcery power into positive sorcery power, it purifies all sorcery techniques—the [Ladder of Purification].

This technique belonging to Angels was now being wielded by Reiger.

And positive sorcery power has always been formed from negative emotions condensed into Curses—the natural enemy of Curse Spirits.

When Reiger uses the [Ladder of Purification] technique like this, the Morse, which are similar in nature to Curse Spirits, as aggregations of curses, will naturally act like encountering a natural enemy, either fleeing in terror or being purified, disappearing without a trace.

Since the Reverse Techniques can’t be deployed on such a large scale, and Marfa wasn’t around, not wanting to waste the precious Holy Sword Power to drive away Morse, Reiger decided to use the technique of Angels.

He wasn’t in the mood to fight monsters in the wilderness of Britain, and had no interest in the Morse of Britain either. If he wanted to gain experience points, he could always head to the Abyss later.

So now Reiger just wanted to finish the matter quickly, to take Morgan to the Source World.

"Why are you standing there? Come on!"

Seeing Altoria standing still, Reiger called out urgingly.

"I’m coming, I’m coming!"

Altoria snapped back to reality and quickly followed Reiger.

Reiger continued moving forward, the sacred aura carried by the positive sorcery power emanating from his body instinctively repelling the surrounding Morse, making them afraid to come close.

As for Altoria, who had regained her senses, bathing in the light around Reiger, she felt a deep sense of tranquility in her heart.

If the former Reiger was in Altoria’s eyes a sun able to burn away the storm, then the current Reiger was a light capable of illuminating the darkness.

Whether it was the sun before or the light now, for Altoria, who was constantly mired in the "world’s malice," both were akin to salvation, prompting her to instinctively want to approach him, even embrace him.

"...Seems like you haven’t changed at all, always like this."

Altoria couldn’t help but murmur.

"What?"

Reiger, deep in thought, did not catch what Altoria said, and turned his head in confusion to ask.

"Nothing." Altoria replied in annoyance: "By the way, where exactly is the last Pilgrimage Bell you mentioned located? Could it still be within the Mirror Clan?"

If it was still within the Mirror Clan, why would it be claimed that it disappeared without reason and could never be found?

If the Mirror Clan’s bell were still around, Alberon and Pasival wouldn’t repeatedly have claimed that it disappeared, right?

Altoria quickly composed herself and formed this reasonable doubt.

To this, Reiger just glanced at Altoria, then spoke.

"Since you’ve already rung the five Pilgrimage Bells, even if you were completely unaware before, now you should roughly realize what the so-called "Pilgrimage Bell" actually is, shouldn’t you?"

Those words left Altoria speechless.

"Seems like you have realized it." Reiger, noticing Altoria’s reaction, spoke without surprise: "Indeed, you should have known this long ago."

"The true mission of the Paradise Fairy, as previously mentioned, is to bring incorrect history back on track."

"To replace the Original Six Fairies, complete the forging of the Holy Sword, and ring the bone bells of the six clans, making them acknowledge their sins, thereby returning everything to the beginning."

"Then why does ringing six bells represent the six fairies admitting their sins?"

Reiger spoke with a calm expression.

"The reason is simple, because the true form of the six Pilgrimage Bells is none other than the corpses of the clan leaders of the six major fairy clans."

When fairies die, they return to nature and become part of nature.

But after the clan leaders of the six major fairy clans die, they transform into bells, becoming evidence of guilt waiting for the prophesied child to ring.

Therefore, the Pilgrimage Bells are also called Bone Bells, meaning bells formed from corpses.

"When you say the last Pilgrimage Bell is in the Mirror Clan, you are both correct and incorrect."

"It’s correct because this Pilgrimage Bell could only be formed from the corpse of the Mirror Clan."

"It’s incorrect because the Bone Bell of the Mirror Clan is actually no longer around."

Reiger spoke leisurely as he walked forward.

"When the Mirror Clan was annihilated, the last Pilgrimage Bell was also destroyed along with it."

Hearing this, Altoria pressed her lips together.

She didn’t feel discouraged by this.

Because, she broadly understood what Reiger meant.

"You mean to say that to ring the last Pilgrimage Bell, we have to create a new bell?"

Since the old one had been destroyed, naturally, a new one had to be found.

How to get the new one?

Reiger had just explained it.

"The Pilgrimage Bell is the corpse of a fairy clan leader."

"The old corpse was destroyed, so we use a new corpse."

"In other words, to resurrect the Bone Bell of the Mirror Clan, the clan leader must use their own corpse to create one anew."

In an indifferent tone, Reiger spoke words nearly devoid of emotion.

"On this journey, we are going to the former site of the Mirror Clan, to find the corpse of its deceased clan leader."

As long as we find the clan leader’s corpse, a new Pilgrimage Bell can be created.

"But what should we do?"

Altoria was quite perplexed.

"The clan leader of the Mirror Clan has long been dead, now having returned to nature and become part of it, right?"

To this, Reiger’s answer was:

"Since they have become part of nature, we just need to find that part, don’t we?"

This is the reason Reiger came here.

Going to the place where the Mirror Clan was once destroyed, would allow reaching the place where all the fairies of the Mirror Clan returned to nature.

There lies the corpse of the clan leader of the Mirror Clan.

And once the location of the corpse is reached, Reiger has a way to resurrect the Bone Bell.

Or perhaps using Resurrection Magic...

Or by using...[Wish Upon a Star].
