Paladin of Asgard - Chapter 427
[Four hundred and fourteen [the pain of aging]]
Feeling the long-lost youth, Nierti couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief and smiled, feeling deeply that continuing life was the right choice.
Just as she was feeling the joy of returning to her youth, a stooped figure came in from outside.
“Crackling…” The figure’s slow movement of pushing the door made a series of sounds from the wooden door.
Kalulu is also very old. He is leaning on a cane in his hand. His stooped and thin body trembles slightly while walking. His white hair is sparse and thick, and there are heavy bags under his dim eyes.
After entering the room, he squinted his eyes and looked at Nilti carefully for a while before saying in disbelief, “Ni…Nilti?”
“It’s me, Kalulu.” Nilti’s smile was a little stiff .
Kalulu was stunned for a moment, then became emotional, walked up to her with a few strides on crutches, and reprimanded in a trembling voice: “You have broken the laws of nature! You greedy woman, for the sake of your own life, turned your back on The mages abide by the law of the millennium! Using time magic will threaten the safety of the entire universe.”
“I did not use time magic to extend my life.” Nilti argued, “I used the energy of the dark dimension.”
“Darkness Dimension!” Kalulu was still emotional, “Communication with the dark dimension, isn’t this a threat to the order of the universe? You let the evil existence of the dark world discover the earth, and the earth will be destroyed sooner or later!”
Nierti: “Dormammu I have discovered the earth a long time ago and have coveted it for a long time, that is the time of Agamotto, I just took advantage of Dormammu’s existing greed.”
“Stupid! Arrogant!” Kalulu obviously couldn’t argue with Neil Nilti, just doesn’t show weakness, “Those who meddle in darkness will not end well. If you do this, one day you will be lost and fall!”
Nierti sighed: “There is no good or evil in power, Kalulu.”
“Of course there is good and evil in power!” Kalulu said, and then turned around angrily, “I will not be as depraved and cowardly as you, meddling in the darkness, shamefully continuing my life!”
As he said that, he left the room without looking back, and slammed the door hard, trying to express his inner anger.
It’s just that due to his old age and frailty, despite his best efforts, he could barely close the door without the expected knocking sound.
Nierti sighed and shook his head lightly… It
was late at night a few days later.
“Ah—” Kalulu, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, seemed to be having a nightmare, and suddenly cried out in pain, and opened his eyes.
His body was shaking violently, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat in an instant, as if he was suffering from some kind of huge illness.
In fact, Kalulu is suffering from the greatest ailment of mankind – aging.
This aging body, half buried in the ground, has no vitality at all, like a rusty machine with parts falling off, wandering on the verge of collapse, and may stop functioning at any time.
As an outstanding magician, Kalulu has a keen perception, he can clearly feel various changes in his body.
At this moment, his whole body was lying on the bed with stiffness and pain, his breathing was difficult, and his strength was weak. In his perception, his flesh and blood were struggling on the edge of the quagmire of death.
Old and dead…
Kalulu clearly knew what kind of situation his body was heading towards.
So for a moment, the fear of death hit him like a tide, making him tremble more and more violently.
Am I dying of old age?
Standing on the verge of death, Kalulu finally understands how painful death is.
But fortunately, Death did not choose to take him away tonight.
After a while, Kalulu’s breathing stabilized, and the excruciating pain of aging was also much relieved, allowing him to get up from the bed, drink a cup of tea, and calm down.
Holding the teacup in his hand, there was still a little cold sweat on Kalulu’s forehead.
For a moment just now, he even felt that Death had put his hand on his shoulder, asking for his name and last words with great interest.
It was terrible…
Kalulu shook his head, trying to make himself forget the experience just now.
But then, the figure of Nierti appeared in his mind, the figure that returned to youth, with light steps and a smiling face.
He couldn’t help but start to recall and imagine, what things can young people do?
A young man can run and jump with a strong body, tear food with his strong teeth, and ooze all kinds of wonderful body fluids with his plump skin…
In contrast, the body of an old man is like a pile of rotten wood, shriveled and fragile, tasteless.
In this kind of thinking, Kalulu quickly thought: Maybe he should also extend his life, just like Nilti?
He was very hesitant, and the main reason for his hesitation was the bold words he repeatedly uttered in front of Nilti.
A few days ago, he had sworn that even if he died, he would not continue his life, nor would he get involved in the darkness, and he would slap himself in the face in a blink of an eye. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing?
But life and death matter, mere face is nothing.
The fear of death just now still surged into his heart from time to time like a tide, so Kalulu’s hesitation did not last long, and he quickly made up his mind.
I want to continue my life!
Thinking of this, he immediately opened a small portal to the library, and reached out to fetch a thick magic book, “Dark Divine Book”.
The magic of the Supreme Sanctuary is generally divided into three parts, white magic, black magic, and time magic.
Time magic is the most feasible and easiest way to extend life, as long as you can mobilize the Eye of Agamotto, you can easily rejuvenate.
But this is also the most taboo choice. Mages know very well that time is a law that involves the fundamental order of the universe, and no one knows what the consequences will be if they manipulate time.
In white magic, there is very little discussion about the continuation of life. After all, this is an act that violates the laws of nature.

Black magic has a lot of research in this area, and according to Nilti’s narration, this is indeed the case. Therefore, if Kalulu wants to continue his life, he must start with black magic.
There are not many black magic books in the Supreme Sanctuary, and it can even be said that there is only one “Dark God Book”. It is said that this book contains all the black magic in the world, and all black magic originated from this ancient book.
Kalulu used to be reluctant to get his hands on this book, but after all, his life was the most important thing, and he was going to be buried in the ground soon, and his face and morals disappeared overnight.
The “Dark Divine Book” was sealed, but he had witnessed Nilti’s sealing process with his own eyes, so it would not be difficult to untie it.
After breaking the seal, Kalulu impatiently opened up this unpredictable black magic tome.
“Ah, this is…”
As soon as he turned the first page, he showed a look of surprise and fascination, his eyes were blurred and he lay on the desk looking fascinated.
