Volume 1 The Land of the Dead Chapter 112 A Discussion of Illusions

"What a strange guy. Senua, who was slumped on the meadow, muttered.

In Senua's tribe, the priests are the most noble group of people, but despite this, there is not much separation between the priests and the ordinary people, and even the priests are still in charge of the prayers and knowledge of the tribesmen, but Senna always feels an inexplicable sense of alienation from them.

Even when fighting against the large beasts that attacked the tribe, the priests did so by channeling the power of the sacred tree Nuratis through elegant incantations, and their gestures were noble and elegant, how could a guy like Roger even roll up his arms and fight the monsters hand-to-hand.

Even so, Senna was convinced that Roger was a priest.

With her heart in mind, Senna lay down on the meadow exhausted.

The battle with the corrupt scout team just now was indeed too exciting for this little girl, although her role just now was to add a buff to the corrupted monster opposite, oh yes, and also grabbed the head of a boss.

While Senna was resting, Roger was wandering around the corrupted monsters that were not yet dead, although most of the monsters were turned into ashes under his thunderous shocks, but there were also monsters on the edge of magic whose bodies were only half scorched by electricity, and they were writhing and wailing with their broken bodies.

One by one, the panting corrupted monsters were replenished, and it was not until all the monsters turned into shadows and dissipated into the air that Roger lifted his initial concept and returned to his normal size.

Naked upper body, the cold wind blew on Roger's still sweaty back, which made him shiver from the cold.

Sticking the spear into the ground, Roger shivered and regretted: "Ah sneeze ~ next time you must bring a few more clothes." ”

After the bodies of the corrupted monsters dissipated, the tattered animal skins they were wearing hung on the grass, and it seemed that the scouts were treated well, the texture of these animal skins was soft and tough, but they were filthy with blood.

Holding his arms and picking and choosing, he finally picked a piece that he barely looked at, and Roger skillfully lit the flame, so that the lice on his clothes crackled and fell into the fire, and after such a simple treatment, Roger put the clothes on his body with disgust.

"Forget it, the conditions are so difficult that you can't ask for so much, in short, the only thing left is that big guy......"

It took a lot of time to clean up the battlefield (mainly the time delayed by Roger's picking clothes), and when Roger turned around, the sky had completely darkened.

Roger held up his improvised torch and paced back to where the monster had fallen, and Senna looked to have regained her spirits, poking at a twig in a pool of blood.

"Roger, come and see. ”

Hearing movement behind her, Senua's ears moved, and she turned around nervously, only to breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that it was Roger, "There's something in that big guy's body." ”

Hearing this, Roger cheered up and approached the torch, and under the orange firelight, the location of the original corpse of the big monster left blood, but unlike other corrupted monsters, its corpse did not completely dissipate, and some broken bone fragments were left in the bloodstain.

Of course, Senna wasn't talking about the obvious, but among the bone fragments, there hung a ball of hair that looked eerie and disgusting in the light of the fire.

"Is this ......?"

With a sigh, Roger pinched the furball with the mage's hand from afar, and it unexpectedly deflated, as if there was a boxy core inside.

Without hesitation, Roger controlled the mage's hand to roughly tear apart the tangled hairs, revealing the devoured talisman.

The appearance of this talisman is very different, and the stone tablets are clearly engraved with the somewhat funny divine words of 'making friends in the same city', but now it gives people a completely different feeling.

The distorted characters seem to be written tremblingly, the lines seem to be jagged, and the characters are scarlet and boiling in the firelight.

Looking directly at such a divine text, Roger felt the illusion similar to being possessed by a shadow divine servant, but fortunately, with the experience of the previous few times, Roger was prepared, and his eyes quickly regained their clarity.

Then he opened his eyes, and Roger saw Senna stabbing the amulet floating in the air with a big grin.

"How did my talisman become like this?" Under Roger's nervous gaze, there was no abnormal change in Senua's body.

"You...... Nothing uncomfortable?" Seeing this scene, Roger's expression looked a little strange.

Senna replied puzzled, "No, what's wrong?"

"Don't you have the bizarre appearance of a dream in front of you?" Roger continued to ask, as if he had not given up.

Still receiving a negative answer, Roger pondered for a moment, furrowed his brows, and did a bold deed, removing the mage's hand that wrapped the amulet.

"Smack. ”

The talisman fell steadily into Senua's hands, and it still didn't change.

"What's going on?"

Touching the cold amulet, the surface of the amulet that should have been polished smooth was rough, as if it had completely changed something, Senna held it in her hand and asked cautiously, "Should I see anything?"

Roger had wanted to be vague, but some vague speculation came to him, and he changed his mind, beckoned Senna to sit down, and stuck the torch on the ground and let it burn quietly.

"I've seen some visions, and I'll try to describe them, and if you've seen or heard anything like this, tell me. ”

Seeing Senna nodding ignorantly, due to the reliability of the translation software, Roger tried to use some simple words to describe the illusion that appeared in his mind.

"After being eroded by those shadows, I fell into a crazy vision, the sky was hazy, like a layer of ice crystals, and the blood-colored stardust fell in the sky with a long tail, I don't know what the stardust looks like?

In short, those falling starlight fell on the earth, and countless terrible shadows emerged from it, and the divine servants in the form of snakemen that we had encountered before were just one of the many shadows.

The Servant of God roared and roared with a rumbling, incomprehensible howl, and I couldn't control my body, and I could only watch all sorts of strange things tear my body to shreds again and again...... Anyway, I'm used to it, so it doesn't matter to me. ”

After imagining such a scene for a moment, Senna shuddered, she didn't feel that she could hold on to such an illusion, how tenacious was this guy's spirit?

Roger stared at the flames dancing in the wind, and continued to say in a deep tone:

"This scene went on for a while, and the vision, as if it saw that mere death could not destroy my spirit, changed its appearance, and my feet were empty, and the blood-soaked red earth cracked in a violent tremor, and the ridges of the mountains were raised, and white steam erupted from each fissure like a volcanic eruption.

The terrifying howls of the shadows echoed in my ears, and after the steam passed, the hot magma gradually overflowed the surface, and the magma gradually erupted into huge waves that wanted to drown me, and all kinds of catastrophic scenes were playing out around me, changing at any time and irregularly.

The scenes of the catastrophe were real and terrifying, interspersed with strange and distorted landscapes, such as upside-down earth and huge burning corpses......

You may not believe it, but these are the realities that I have experienced, so ..... It's hard to get rid of. ”

"That's pretty much it, how's that, there's a sense of déjà vu. ”

After a long silence, Senna shook his head in Roger's slightly disappointed gaze, although Roger's description of the illusion was a little cautious, but Senna really didn't hear any familiar scenes from it.

Senna asked, "What else, is that all?"

"If you have to say it......" Roger frowned, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "These two or three illusions are almost like this, only the illusion of the talisman that stared at you just now is slightly different...... I saw it, a rain. ”

"Rain?"

Roger nodded, his fingers unconsciously rubbing the furry surface of the beast's skin, and said slowly: "At the end of those chaotic visions, there was a muffled thunderous roar from the depths of the earth, and the catastrophic sights and roars that no longer appeared in the illusion, replaced by endless heavy rain.

The rain was pouring down, but there was no wind, and the rain gradually turned red, and in the hiss of the shadows, it finally evolved into a real rain of blood, red as blood, even with a suspiciously sticky feeling. ”

"That's about it. Roger rubbed his head and said that there was a joke, because he finally noticed that Senua's expression had changed a little.

"Well, did you think of something?"

Senna's expression was a little strange, and her eyes did not meet Roger's eyes, but fell on the night behind him: "I really don't have any impression of the scenes you mentioned before, but I have some guesses about the rain, and it stands to reason that you should also be clear, did you skip class about the last day?"

"You're going to let me skip class, what do you mean about that last day. Roger said, touching his nose.

"The day of the end is the legendary moment when the sun disappears and divine punishment comes. Senna took a deep breath of cool air, "And the sign of divine punishment is the blood-colored rain that envelops the Third Kingdom. ”

Legend has it that the sun that brought light at first was shrouded in dark clouds, and people didn't care about it at the time, but when this continued for a month, the kingdom began to be in chaos.

The most powerful priest of the kingdom tried to dispel the clouds with the help of a spell, not the kind that must now be cast with the power of the sacred tree Nuratis, but as the spell was chanted, the clouds that covered the sky not only did not disperse, but grew denser, and the sky began to rain blood, a scene that closely resembled your description.

In the rain of blood, the spells of all the priests of the kingdom have lost their effect, and those shadow servants have begun to appear in various parts of the kingdom, they have slaughtered us at the same time, but also brought frost and freezing, and finally under the punishment of the natural calamity, the third kingdom of our Viku people quickly fell lonely. ”

"Going around and around, or is it back to the punishment itself?"

Although he got some unexpected information, his guess was not confirmed, and looking at Senna without a trace, Roger pondered for a moment and decided to take a step at a time.

The night on the grassland was already cool, not to mention that the frozen wind and snow had moved in this direction, and as the blood of the battle dissipated, both of them were a little cool, and a torch could not bring warmth to the two of them.

With the insight of his right eye, looking back at the dark clouds covering the grassland, Roger pointed to the pitch-black camp and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, let's go to that camp first, at least find a place to rest for a while." ”
