Chapter Seventy-Three: Gaze of the Medusa
"It's—"
While feeling the changes in his body, Shinji found that the magic power he had absorbed from the "Great Source" had decreased, and it was only about seventy percent of what it had been at the beginning. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"No wonder the air here feels unusual, it turns out that the problem is here. ”
The characteristic of the Fuhailin is to devour life in order to strengthen itself and produce fruits, and it is normal for the children of Fuhailin to inherit this trait. This devouring is not limited to tangible creatures, but also includes the ubiquitous "Great Source".
No matter how good the magician's magic circuit is, it can't compare to this behemoth with a diameter of more than ten kilometers. The closer you get to the main body, the less magic you can convert. Fortunately, he learned the magic of Rune, and the magic power had been entered when he carved the runes, so as long as there were rune stones, his combat power would not be greatly affected.
Thinking of this, Shinji increased the load of the magic circuit to maintain the magic power supply of the feather shoes.
At this moment, the lava lake took a new turn, and the red flowers were still blooming. Underneath the petals, a huge bubble bulges upwards. The bubble did not burst immediately, but expanded little by little as if it was pregnant with something, expanding into an unimaginable arc.
"Isa!" raised his left hand, and three rune stones with an icy blue glow burst out of the air and threw them into the magma bubble directly below. However, the magic of ice contained in the runes is too small compared to the entire magma lake. It's like three grains of sand thrown into the sea, without even a ripple.
Shinji instinctively felt that something was wrong, and subconsciously embodied the shield of Athena.
It turned out that his feeling was completely correct, and just as the shield was transformed into a physical entity, the magma cannon finally exploded, and the red giant snake with the thickness of two people hugging each other broke through the lava and soared into the sky.
The red serpent's movements were very fast, and it only took one breath to collide with Athena's shield, and the huge force made Shinji's arm ache and at the same time, it also pulled the distance between him and the lake from fifteen meters back to twenty-five meters.
Through the feeling of the shield feedback, Shinji judged that the body of the giant snake was probably as hard as the xenomorph flying fish, and the physical attack was difficult to work, and the relative lightning magic could cause damage.
But-
Shinji, who stabilized his body and continued to dodge the lava flower, glanced at the giant snake with his head held high and showing off his might.
- This kind of monster with a body length of more than fifteen meters, the general magic is estimated to be tickling, and to defeat him, it must be at least a big magic-level attack, then-
Shinji glanced at the sky to make sure that Barsermelo's helicopter was out of sight, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
In the next second, Shinji lifted his cloak and feather shoes, returned to his original appearance, and the whole person turned sharply like a kite with a broken string, and entered the hunting range of the giant snake again.
Not surprisingly, the serpent stretched out its body as if it was made of rubies, and it directly seemed to hit the position of its head. The reason why it is "like" is because Shinji did not see the eyes and mouth of snakes in the place of the head. Sure enough, in the otherworld conceived by the son of the sea forest, everything is abnormal.
Of course, it doesn't make a difference to Shinji whether the giant snake has a sense organ or not, all he needs is the fact that the giant snake is close.
At the moment before the serpent was about to collide with Athena's shield for the second time, a golden light that was more dazzling than the red of the eyes appeared behind the shield, and with a violent explosion, it sank into the serpent's body.
Noble Phantasm - Indra's Thunder.
No matter how powerful the xenomorph snake is, it can't be compared to the demon dragon Furrido. The huge crimson body could not resist the divine punishment of the thunder god, and in the midst of a looming brilliant thunder, the giant snake trembled and fell with a bang, splashing a large red wave.
Shinji's body also followed the serpent into the magma - this is a natural shield, no one knows what undercurrents and strange beasts are hidden under the magma, and there is nothing wrong with an extra layer of protection.
Shinji's caution paid off in return, as he just drilled into the magma. Those strange fish of different species swarmed in, and if it weren't for the natural barrier of the giant serpent's body directly in front of him, he really couldn't be sure that he would be able to withstand such a dense attack.
Now it's different, less than forty percent of the defensive surface, and Shinji can deal with it calmly.
I saw that the shield in his right hand, the rune stone in his left hand, the shield hit the lightning strike, and the physical magic was alternated, and no matter how many alien monsters there were, they couldn't break through his garrison.
When the body of the giant snake sank to the bottom of the lake, Shinji found a corner where the snake's body was curved, set up a shield and hid inside, and let the outside "wind and rain" blow, and I did not move.
Of course, he didn't forget to drop an "EIHWAZ" rune at his feet. The entire Atlas is part of the "Sons of the Sea", and attacks can come from any angle.
Only then did he have the time to sort out the current situation and think about what to do next.
The vision in the magma is not as bad as imagined, although it is not as clear as in the pure water, but it is not really out of sight, if you want to compare it, it is probably like being in a piece of strawberry jelly, hazy in the distance, and it has no effect when you get closer.
The connection with the "Great Source" has dropped to freezing point as previously expected, and the mana conversion rate is only about 30%, which is barely enough to maintain the consumption of Athena's shield.
However, this maintenance is only temporary, and with the ferocity of the xenomorph cluster attack, the speed of mana replenishment will soon not be able to keep up with the speed of consumption.
The location of the core of the "Son of the Fur Sea" must be determined before that.
The mother body has the core to give birth to the true red fruit, and the same is true for the son of the Fuhai forest, although I haven't heard of any child giving birth to the fruit, but they do have a core, as long as the core is destroyed, the entire other world will quickly wither.
The core of the Son of the Sea Forest is generally based on the place where the spiritual veins are most active, that is, near the node, and it is generally the most central area of the entire Atlas, and Shinji chose to parachute directly above the center of the lake for this reason.
Detect the activation of the rune, and invisible waves of magic spread in all directions.
As if sensing Shinji's intentions, the entire magma lake began to shake, and a ravine wider than the xenomorph snake appeared at Shinji's feet, as if it was the mouth of some prehistoric creature, trying to swallow the invaders into the abyss completely.
At the same time, the xenomorph creatures that inhabit the lake also enter a berserk state, rushing towards Shinji like a desperate one.
Such a reaction proves that Shinji's judgment is not wrong, and the core must be nearby. Sure enough, the probing rune fed back an unusually obvious source of life. If the other creatures in the lake are fireflies, and the xenomorph giant snake is the stars, then this source of life is Haoyue.
"Found it—"
Shinji gripped the shield with both hands, and the transformation of the magic circuit switched from the "big source" of the world to the "small source" of his own. The vitality strengthened by the golden apple was quickly transformed into magic and infused into the treasure.
Nourished by magic, in the center of the shield, the gorgon's beautiful face became more and more bewitching, as if it might come to life at any time.
The magic distributes the magma, and Shinji loudly liberates the true name of the treasure.
"Aegis—Gaze of the Medusa!"
In the field of vision, it was gray.
PS: Tenma and Medusa's gaze are Shinji's two biggest hole cards.
