Blasphemy
Chapter 1: Apples
In the year 682 of the sacred calendar, Roger Octa Rivers has been at the Rhein Magic Academy for four years. He who is smart can leave the magic academy in two years and become a real witch. In these turbulent times, witches were seen as important because of their famous destructive power. At the same time, since witches had weak physiques and took a long time to cast spells, protection against witches became the first issue to think about in the midst of a war. However, even famous generals on the mainland are difficult to maintain the safety of witches.
To master magic requires talent, to become a qualified magician takes a long time. This is also a factor that causes the least number of magicians on the mainland so that the status of magicians is very high. At the same time, most high-level magicians also included people who were rich due to all kinds of precious gems, magic silver, and black iron magic. High-level magic items allow magicians to do battle between levels. Someone once said that the magic power of a witch was equivalent to her wealth.
Viscount of Rivers, Roger's father, was a low-level noble in the Rhine City League. The territory he owned was only a small town and several villages around it, with a population of a thousand people. After all, as a nobleman who had a territory of his own, Roger was still qualified to bear the middle name Octa, a symbol of the lesser hereditary nobility of the Rhine League.
Strange land names, basically a country has a name. In recent years, as the holy church rose and expanded its authority, various countries have gradually accepted Gloria, meaning glory and majesty, as the name of the mainland. The Rhine League, located in the southeast corner of the mainland, was formed by the union of more than ten countries. Compared to the three strong countries–Dero, Austria-Hungary, and Aslovic– on the mainland, the strength of the Rhine League is not the best but also not too weak. In front of 30 small countries, especially the duchies of Ron and Quedor, King Louis XIV still often showed off his strength. However, the king was much more interested in art, beautiful women, and immortality than expanding territory. During his dozen years in office, he was at peace with the neighboring country.
Compared to the state status of the Rhine League, the Rhein Magic Academy was also the second middle academy on the mainland. It was located in the north of the city of the Rhine City League. His strict teaching style caused no amazing people on the mainland for more than 300 years. Due to the need for witches in various countries, magic academies were the most equal places on the mainland with a strong hierarchy. At least there would be no situation where magic disciples were ganged to death by nobles at the usual. Moreover, ordinary disciples who graduated often had a great chance of becoming nobles after having some experience.
The condition of Roger's family had already declined and only had four servants in the house. This was very embarrassing for the nobility who had a territory of its own. The Viscount of Rivers had no other ability to make money other than getting angry. His family's income declined year after year, however, this did not prevent Roger from learning all the vices of the nobility; arrogant, arrogant, perverted, irritable, and arrogant, as well as the cunning that no ordinary noble has. After becoming a man for the first time at the age of 14 with the help of a housemaid, he became increasingly intrusive so that the Viscount of Rivers could only send him to this magic academy one year later. Some of the remaining heirloom gems were used for it.
Roger didn't expect the Viscount to be able to give him any more support, but he needed money for daily enjoyment. So relying on her sweet mouth to flatter Faith, a mid-level magician in the academy, she manages to become the manager of Faith's magic lab and does some things Faith can't. Right now Roger was studying the pearl that appeared in front of him in the magic laboratory.This pearl looked dim, pale, and slightly cracked, seemingly worthless. The only difference between these pearls and other pearls is that there is a white and black light flashing inside these pearls. Roger widened his eyes to estimate the value of this pearl and did not expect if the pearl was also researching him. This pearl suddenly cracked, then a black aura entered Roger's head through his forehead. Roger moved like a soft-bodied animal, once in a while there were bumps appearing and drowning, black blood spurting out from his skin. Roger finally opened his pale-colored eyes, then laughed in a low voice. “This spiritual power this soul is good.” Roger looked towards the pearl flake, it just so happened that the white aura had come out at this moment but was unable to fly too far away from the pearl. Roger's eyes sparkled, a white aura and pearls were also sucked into his forehead, then a sad scream sounded in the laboratory room. Roger's body was like boiling water and it took him a long time to calm down. When his eyes opened again, he was already like a normal person.
That black aura was Rodriguez's soul. He managed to escape the light of judgment and the pursuit of Saints by borrowing the power of the Pearl Soul Artifact. However, artifacts certainly cannot be compared to the light of judgment which is the power of God. Moreover, the light of judgment was launched by the Saints to destroy the powerful demons in the world. After the fight in the Oedi Church, the Pearl of Souls had run out of strength. The Necromancer does not destroy Roger's soul, but unites and inherits all of Roger's characters. Since the power of the Soul Pearl was limited and was mostly used to restrain the soul of Wella, necromancers could only bring knowledge of the origin of magic and unleash knowledge of certain spells while fusing their souls. Today only a small amount of core energy, known as God energy, remains from Wella's soul. All of his consciousness had long since disappeared. This insignificant energy of God is also carried into the soul.
Roger's talent is not too much. After practicing half-heartedly for four years, he was only a level two mage and could only use basic and first level magic. According to the rules of the Rhine Magic Academy, students can graduate when they become level four magicians. However, the unification of the necromancer soul produced great spiritual power and could achieve extremely high magic control. After all, the strength of a magician was not just about the magic level. Understanding and control of magic may be more important. Based on Roger's understanding, the power of witches was only about cunning and wealth. “A level one magician with ten magic enhancing rings will not lose to a level two mage with bare hands.” The Necromancer agreed to the point because the difference between a level one mage and a level two mage was extremely thin. With Roger's strength, he was still difficult to understand about magicians above level four.
Magic on the Gloria mainland has established a strict system after years of development, especially for the needs of war. Usually every magic power of a magician goes up two levels, the magic used will increase by one level. In other words, level ten magicians can cast level five magic, whereas level eleven magicians need two level five magic. Of course, there are also monsters outside this system, for example Rodriguez the necromancer.
God's energy is the purest soul energy. Roger, whose soul and body had been completely transformed, created his own pet. The pets of magicians were generally the exclusive rights of high-level mages in the form of call beasts. And creating is ‘the limit is Lord’, thought the necromancer. However, God was never the revered object of the necromancer so he united the soul and changed the body again. After fully fusing the Pearl of the Soul, Roger's body had changed to beyond recognition. But due to various considerations, Roger's appearance was ultimately not changed. He was still short, fat, with a bloated body and an ordinary face, as well as an evil gaze. However, the Soul Pearl brought along another mysterious skill; space.
Roger himself had no opinion. Even if he did not dare to say it. After understanding the origin of God's energy, he felt admiration for Brunn. He won't be the last person, thought Roger evil.
After three days and three nights of sleepwalking and being scolded several times by Faith, the necromancer finally finished his job.
Roger's awake. Roger is still Roger, Rodriguez is Rodriguez. The Necromancer finally escaped the eyes of the Saints and placed an apple on the chessboard.
