Chapter 1008 -356 Sin Card: Wild Hunt King_2
——Although in terms of causality, it should be said that the Knights of Avalon were imitating Helquinn. After all, the Round Table Knights led by Arthur had revered the former hero, Helquinn. Helquinn’s transformation from a resentful spirit into the Wild Hunt was also related to Merlin’s ritual.
Considering this… perhaps Helquinn is not suitable for the earth attribute, but more for the wind attribute!
“Was your seal done with Tarot Cards?”
Helquinn approached, looking at Aleister who was picking cards: “Which one am I?”
“You need two cards, and we have to wait until tomorrow—my mana is no longer sufficient to seal you after fighting with you.”
Aleister casually said: “One card to represent you, and another to represent the Pillar God that can suppress you.”
Saying so, she displayed the first card.
It was the upright [Judgment].
The card depicted an angel blowing the trumpet of doomsday judgment, granting redemption to the dead, even the souls of sinners had the possibility of redemption. This paralleled the current situation of Helquinn, King of the Wild Hunt.
This card foretold resurrection, recovery, reunion, the miracle of love— all good omens. It was also a celebration for Helquinn regaining his sanity.
“As for the Pillar God that suppresses you… I have chosen Great Sage, and the Tarot card is the upright [Pope].”
This was a card that could awaken the heart of kindness, well suited for Helquinn regaining consciousness again. At the same time, the Pope is also an interpreter of the unknown, possessing the observation power to see through everything… and corresponding with the Emperor, respectively signaling the dominion over the material and spiritual worlds.
This perfectly corresponds to the relationship between Supreme Heaven and Great Sage!
“See you tomorrow, Helquinn.”
Aleister bid farewell to the King of the Wild Hunt.
She used horn powder and sapphires, infusing her mana into the two cards. Then she went to stay the night in Eagle Cape Village.
At dusk the next day, Aleister once again used the Thunder Javelin to summon Helquinn.
By this time, she had completely prepared all the preliminary steps of the ritual.
“I beseech Great Sage, the God of Holy Number four, the God who beholds the Truth, the silent God—”
“Please look after my heart, let it be restless like a storm… ”
“—I earnestly call the Fallen Celestial Marshal!”
Aleister declared loudly without pause: “Great Sin Celestial, Fallen Celestial Marshal!”
“I have understood my sins—I am willing to bear the Brand of Fury!”
The prayer terminated on its own due to a mistake, yet two distinctly different auras had already surged into Aleister’s hands!
The next moment, an eye suddenly opened in the Dark Cloud above her head.
A bolt of lightning, struck directly onto Aleister!
In that instant, Aleister felt the world around her plunged into complete silence.
Countless secrets rushed past before her eyes, those were all the secrets of this world from beginning to end. Aleister’s eyes widened, but those things flowed through her mind like water slipping through fingers.
Nine black nails emerged from the void, accompanied by bursts of electric light, one after another struck onto Aleister’s head!
With each nail that struck, the knowledge flowing in Aleister’s heart lessened bit by bit, like the water level of a rushing river dropping. When all nine nails had fallen, she had regained consciousness again.
Immediately, she began calling for Helquinn: “King of the Wild Hunt, Helquinn Dragon Flame!”
“At this moment, I call upon your name, and bestow upon you the Brand of Fury!”
“My life is your life, my fate is your fate—”
“—Obey me, Phantom Demon of the Dusk Path!”
As her words fell, another bolt of lightning thundered down!
This time, scenes of Helquinn’s demise flashed through Aleister’s mind.
She finally understood the entire truth behind Helquinn’s death:
—It was a despicable conspiracy and a shameful betrayal.
“Wildfire” Uther Galoch had prepared a plot—he transformed into a human, posing as a survivor and deceiving the people at the human settlement.
He claimed, “Helquinn indeed briefly protected the village, but he can’t possibly stay here forever. Once he leaves, the Giants will immediately seek revenge— and ‘his hometown’ has thus been destroyed. He is the only survivor.”
Then he encouraged the easily swayed individuals in the settlement to surrender, then transformed back to his original form and treated them favorably. In the name of Supreme Heaven, he swore that if they pledged loyalty to the Giants again, as long as they did not continue their betrayal, the Giants would not kill them, nor eat them, and would even provide them with food.

The villagers, who were slaves not long ago, became fearful and wavered. Then they succumbed and betrayed.
Thereupon, Uther Galoch gave them poison, instructing these villagers to put it in the food of Helquinn and his followers.
When Uther Galoch returned in force, Helquinn had lost his ability to fight.
He fought desperately but was still unable to defeat the fully-prepared Uther Galoch.
They were all captured alive, and after being tortured, were publicly beheaded.
Afterwards, the Giants threw the bodies of Helquinn and all his followers into a large pot to cook. The fresh blood from the fresh bodies mixed with the dried bodies, brewing a stenchy meat broth.
The resentful spirits, full of hatred, bobbed up and down in that pot— the giant cauldron made by Supreme Heaven prevented their spirits from transcending, from going to the Dream Realm, but instead boiled all their spirits into their own bones. At that time, their spirits were still vivid, with memories.
