Volume 1 The Omen of the Moon Chapter 22 Unspeakable
"It's windy. On the edge of the cave dug by several people, Mu En, who was meditating on his knees, suddenly opened his eyes and said.
Everyone became vigilant when they heard the news, and slowly leaned towards the edge of the cave.
"Did you find something?" Elizabeth asked, leaning over to Muen's side as the relationship between the two naΓ―ve teenagers was delicate.
"No, but I could feel the breeze coming from the beginning. Mu En looked into the distance, but could only see the darkness that grew thicker and thicker.
The cave where the boys and girls were hiding was not too high, and it was only three or four meters from the ground, which Mu En felt was not very safe, but if he was like the unlucky guy who had been dead for an unknown number of years, building the shelter too high would consume too much mana. And the concentration of freedom magic in this place is too low, and it will take a long time to recover, so everyone has to make a compromise decision.
"Something seems to be approaching. Daphne whispered, she seemed nervous.
In fact, unconsciously, everyone lowered their volume a lot, and the surroundings became quiet, as if the air around them began to cool down.
But really, really...... In the cooling!
"I'm starting to be able to exhale white air. Karna followed the dim light and saw the breath coming out of his mouth and nose like the breath of an ice dragon.
"I don't think it's safe here......" Mu En frowned, and began to look inward at what little magic she had.
In this secret realm, all the people's magic power is recovering very slowly, even if Mu En is naturally extremely friendly to magic power, he only has less than forty percent of his magic power reserves now, and this level of magic power is difficult to win even against the previous high-level mage.
The temperature became lower and lower as time went by, but fortunately, the clothes worn by Mu En and the others were thicker winter clothes, which made them not need to raise flames to resist for the time being.
"If it's just cold, it doesn't seem too scary. Elizabeth said.
Mages of water and darkness will have a considerable degree of resistance to cold, mages of fire and light and thunder will have corresponding resistance to heat, and mages of earth will have some degree of resistance to both. In addition, the mage of each attribute will also have greater resistance to the attributes of his practice and the attributes of corresponding restraint, and several special magic attributes are free from Shengke.
"No, it's a bit weird. Devine shuddered, a faint uneasiness in her heart.
From the haze in the distance, a black shadow gradually spread.
In a trance, it was as if they heard something sighing.
That sigh sounded as if from the ears and from a distant place without knowing the direction, constantly echoing in the heart, shaking the flesh and blood of people.
Intensified with the rhythm of every heartbeat, lingering in every inch of skin.
After a few minutes, all four began to experience symptoms of malaise.
Holding his skull, which made a strange noise, Mu En knelt on the ground and let out a low roar.
He was the first to show severe symptoms, and the other children were a little older and more mentally stronger, so the onset of symptoms was slightly delayed.
Outside, there was a deep ink, as if something unknown was whispering to them at the entrance of the cave.
It was a language they didn't understand, it seemed to be just a meaningless whisper, and it seemed to be mixed with this indescribable knowledge.
Splitting headaches......
In the end, the four of them fell into a self-defense mechanism in extreme pain and fainted.
On the verge of meaninglessness, when people are about to wake up, countless grotesque nightmares come one after another.
I don't know how long later.
Mu En sat up abruptly from the nightmare, and put his hand on his neck to strangle a red mark, it seemed that maybe in a little longer, he would strangle himself to death.
Sweat seeped out unconsciously from his mud-stained and clumpy hair, leaving trails of mud on his face.
He looked out of the cave and seemed to see some dark shadows that he had never seen before, looming over the rock wall.
That's when he heard the moans of his teammates, who seemed to be trapped in their own minds and couldn't get out.
Mu En stretched out his hand, intending to engrave a magic circle to stabilize his mind, but he unconsciously fell into a burst of vertigo.
"This power doesn't belong to me......" Mu En looked at the gray-black magic emanating from his palm in horror, and forced himself to endure the dizziness that almost made him sick.
At any time, mental power cannot be probed by self-feeling, so he cannot understand his current mental state. But he noticed something strange about his magic circuit.
Forty percent of the normal magic power was filled with gray-black magic like mud, and he could drive those weird magic powers, and it seemed to be inexhaustible.
However, those anomalous magic powers would also erode his original magic at a slow rate, gradually assimilating his magic power, which made Mu En feel fear.
He didn't dare to use these unknown things rashly, so he could only use the most primitive method to shake his companions awake one by one.
Not surprisingly, everyone's mind was filled with that abrupt feeling of vertigo, and the two girls even began to retch, regardless of their image.
"That's not right......" Karna's voice sounded like that of a prostrated patient, beads of sweat rolling down his face and dripping onto his pale lips, and the sunny look in his eyes that was unique to him was gone.
"Ahh
"What's wrong?" Muen struggled to get to her feet, but fell to her knees.
"A ghost, just like I met in my dreams!" said Daphne, who was completely panicked, her chest clung to the wall, her chest rising and falling, her face pale.
Hearing this, the remaining three were suddenly startled and began to recall their nightmares one after another.
And everyone's fears are different.
Even Karna, who usually seemed the most fearless, began to panic, and he struggled to retreat to the end of the cavern, where only the sheer blackness of the silhouette of each person still had a glimmer of magic.
"What the hell is this place!" Karna began to get angry as if he had encountered a monster in his dream that was too much for her to bear. And the object of his venting is Mu En, who said that there will not be too much danger here.
In the forest, when Chamberlain stood in front of the Moon Heart Hotel, it was already the heart of the moon.
"Is this what I'm going to search from? It's too big. Chamberlain's beautiful eyebrows pressed down on his tall roots.
Shaking his head, he still walked into the forest, and in his perception, there were several not weak breaths scattered in the forest far away.
Looking at that iconic atmosphere, he must be wearing an obnoxious black crow robe.
The sachet was taken out of the sleeve, and inside was a strange stone that gave off a faint fragrance.
Chamberlain took out the stone and put it in the palm of his hand, Lan Xi spit lightly, and the stone dissipated into the air, and in a trance, Muen's phantom appeared in the forest.
"Take me where you walked. Chamberlain didn't seem to be in a hurry, but it was a pity that this magic spice was made from the fat in the merman's belly mixed with dozens of other precious herbs, and the price was high.
Speaking of which, this is still a gift given to him by Ansher when he was not doing his job.
Tapping on the tiptoes and soft earth, the drift snow robe danced in the forest in the dim light like goose feathers blown by the night wind.
In the northern part of the empire, in front of the walls of the vast desert, a huge figure came to it.
The one who came looked like a human being, with wings on his back, but on his neck was an eagle's head, and above the eagle's head, there was a bright sun surrounded by the tail of a long serpent.
There was no threat on his body, and he seemed to be just an ordinary person from the point of view of his breath, but such a majestic vision followed him like a shadow, which would make no one dare to take it lightly.
"Long time no see, Crown of the Sun. He smiled.
On top of the towering walls, Umash, who had become a sage, was surrounded by a wave of heat.
"How could it be you? How could you be alive. β
"Sensing your breakthrough, I crossed the River Styx to meet you. He smiled.
With that, a wind swept up dust and wrapped the huge orc, and after a moment it disappeared.
At the same time, the Holy Magisters who sat in the center of the world's powerful magic circle all looked into the distance, and their eyes fell on the unbearable heat of Atlantis.
"There are actually three suns in the world. That's what he said.
That's what they all say.
At this time, in the secret realm, Muen was no longer able to argue with Karna rap, and he quickly tried to find clues about this place from his memory.
After a while, Karna also made a frightened sound, he had more mana reserves than Muen, but it was only about seventy percent of his own total proportion, that is, the remaining thirty percent of the circuit was also occupied by this strange magic power.
"What is this?!" he cried out to catch the attention of the two girls. Even after the two of them, they each tried to release their magic power, but because their magic power was not consumed before, they only released a normal aqua blue light.
"Don't release the magic!, that kind of black magic will erode normal magic!" Mu En quickly reminded him.
"No, I don't. Elizabeth slowly released the magic, and the recovery was also successful, and it seemed that they were quickly freed from the vertigo, and Muen and Karna were like two drunks at the moment.
"What the hell is going on?" Karna looked a little irritable, very different from what he usually was.
"How do I know!" Mu En was urged by him continuously, and he also began to get irritable.
"You guy!" Karna seemed annoyed that Muen couldn't give him an answer, and he blamed Muen for receiving this gray-black magic stain.
Seeing that the two of them were about to fight, the two girls hurriedly pulled them one by one.
"Now don't be so angry with such children!, think about how to get out!" said Elizabeth, angrily.
"It's useless, in our state, it's impossible to fight the monster who wins the gate. Mu En leaned wearily against the wall, trying to find a way out of the predicament.
"Don't treat us two as bad people, don't you think I'm much worse than you?" said Daphne.
"We are specially trained Thunder Academy students to fight, how can we let you rush to the front. "Karna is of the same opinion as Muen on this matter.
"Ahh Elizabeth scoffed, "Are you two well rested, we should go when we are rested." β
The two boys sat for a few more minutes, feeling the irresistible feeling of nausea finally subside, and then they came out of the hole. Mu En also fell to the ground because he didn't stand firmly, stirring up a cloud of dust.
No one else had ever seen such a weak Muen, and in their eyes, Muen in the past was that thoughtful, stable and calm appearance.
"Could it be that the anomaly here hurts men more?" Daphne helped Muen up, and put her palm on Muen's forehead, slightly hot.
"I think it's more likely that the peculiarity here will have a greater impact on people with a lower remaining mana and a lower mental power. "Karna was holding on to the rock wall, his condition was not much better than that of Muen.
"It's hard to do, Mu En is the most powerful of us, and you are the most lethal of us. Now that something has gone wrong with the two of you, it's a big impact on everyone. Devany said to Karna.
"Don't use ......magic if it's not necessary," Mu En said weakly, leaning slightly on Daphne's shoulder.
"If you keep your mana full when the anomaly strikes, you won't be affected by it. I'm sorry guys, but I misjudged, and this is probably not a simple low-level secret realm. β
Meanwhile, the Black Cliff Forest Nightmare Cavern.
A dark shadow in an inky cloak walked in, and the situation in the dungeon was complicated, but the man didn't seem to hesitate and kept moving forward.
Ten minutes later, it came to the magic mirror that could see through people's hearts, and there were still scarlet remnants on the mirror.
But strangely, nothing is reflected in the mirror.
The hood sank slightly, as if it had lowered its head and looked at the human figure on the ground, the remains of a magician who had been eroded by the corrupting power in its own body to the point that there was no slag left, and now all it left was the traces of the black goo that had dried up and plunged into the ground.
"Come out and meet me. The one under the hood made a hoarse sound.
On the mirror, a trembling figure appeared.
"From today onwards, you will officially take responsibility, don't let me down. The black robe stretched out his hand, only to find that it was full of white bones.
Evil magic seeped out of its palm, bypassing the mirror, and seemed to be building something in the center of the dungeon, and the magic weapon on its body that was used to store items based on the principle of distorting space emitted light, and one by one the magic parts flew out of it.
Half an hour later, the massive center appeared out of thin air, emitting a chilling, dark light.
"It's really a waste for you to live with such a good magic weapon. The man took off his hood and said to the man in the mirror.
The soul that had been burned by the Soul Burning Lamp, but all its virtues, trembled, and did not dare to look at it.
The flesh-and-skin skeleton's eye sockets glowed with a deep blue light.
It is a lich.
Because of its existence, the countless unjust spirits in this dungeon did not even dare to let out a little wail.
The lich turned to leave, and as he walked out of the cavern, the moonlight that greeted him was obscured by dark clouds.
"Poseidon Stone? Diaxun...... Do you think this is useful?" Naturally, there was no emotion on the fleshless face, but the horrible sounds it made could be considered laughter.
Sitting upright in the tower, Tavasis received a letter from the Sage of the Burning Sun in the far north.
Tavasis had already known about this through the Tower's probing circle, but when the exact news reached him, he still felt that his mood had been greatly affected.
He beckoned to an attendant.
"Muen, is there any news?"
"Mr. Chamberlain has not yet been in contact with the Tower, so the exact circumstances are unknown. β
"Tell him, don't take it slowly, Muen's importance is transcendent. β
"However, Lord Chamberlain seems to have entered the Twilight Forest yesterday, and it is difficult to inform him. β
"Then find a way. Tawasis was not in a good mood at the moment, and did not want to dwell on the matter.
"Yes. The waiter bowed and left.
Munn and Karna held each other's arms, Elizabeth walked ahead with the map, and Daphne watched out for unusual movements.
At Munn's request, Elizabeth kept an eye on time while identifying the path, the concept of losing time in the dark was common, and there was no other reference, so she could only calculate her heartbeat to roughly estimate the elapsed time.
I don't know how many people have had the experience of counting their heartbeat alone in the dark, and in the twitching of the heart muscle, there will be an unbearable feeling of depression gradually overlapping in the chest and abdomen, making people desperate.
It's hopeless.
A few hours later, Elizabeth, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.
"I don't think we're going to be able to get out. She turned her head, her face swelling with tears.
"Don't be nervous, believe in yourself. Mu En straightened up and comforted. After a period of reply, the two were able to walk independently, and although there was still some dizziness in their brains, they finally recovered a lot.
"No, you don't understand...... There's a fork in the road on this map that I haven't been able to find, and we've been around here for a long time. Elizabeth was stunned.
Seeing this, Karna stepped forward to hug his girlfriend and whispered comfort in his ear.
But Elizabeth unexpectedly pushed him away and covered her ears, as if she had heard something terrible.
"Don't come near me!" Elizabeth took a few steps back, then shouted.
"Don't talk in my ear!"
Muen frowned and looked at Elizabeth, who was a little mentally disturbed.
He couldn't understand why a normal person had become like this in the only few hours since he woke up.
Karna was anxious, but he couldn't get closer, because as soon as he did, Elizabeth would tell him to get out of the way, and would even release magic such as icicles to stop him from approaching.
"What's going on?" Karna leaned against the rock wall and looked at Muen, hoping for an explanation.
"I don't know......" Muen turned his head to look at him, and then his heart pounded as he saw an indescribable ghost figure on the rock, as if he wanted to drag Karna in!
"Get out of there!" Muen yelled at Karna.
Startled, Karna jumped out of the area and looked back, but found nothing.
Daphne was also attracted by the sound and looked over, and then Daphne and Karna looked at each other and looked at Muen together.
Sweat dripped from her sideburns, and Mu En, who had just looked normal, seemed to have collapsed.
