Chapter 242: Return
ο»Ώ
This time there was no mirror for Given, but he didn't sit still. He was driving the crystal disk with all his might, pouring all the surrounding torrents of spells into the pure gold dagger, and then after those complex changes, it evolved into a huge ice arrow, flying towards the demonic flames.
The Demon Flame and the Ice Arrow collided in midair, and the fireball and the ice edge formed a brief stalemate.
Although the blazing demonic flames eventually swallowed the ice arrow completely, and then flew forward again. But this pause was enough for Jiwen to struggle across the rugged ground, dodge the impact of the flames, and then crash into the body of the king worm.
Soon a continuous ice ridge appeared on the body of the thousand-year-old cicada king insect, and these sharp ice ridges pierced the pitch-black carapace from the inside out, extending upwards.
Soon the ridge of ice rushed straight into the head of the king worm, and the king worm's desperate struggle stopped. The massive body lost its support and fell to the ground with a violent tremor that nearly collapsed the entire cavern.
The king worm's stump had only the last shred of vitality left, and its limbs were still trembling slightly, but it couldn't do anything now. It was only then that Jiwen emerged from the carapace wound on the king worm's head.
Just now in the body of the king worm, he used fate and ice arrows to tear the nerve center of the thousand-year-old cicada to pieces, which made this monster completely lose the ability to resist.
Looking at the red eyes of the king worm that had not been completely extinguished, Jiwen suddenly remembered a task he had not yet completed. So he took out the "black star" that the "Vulcan" Hetos had given him from the storage ring.
Givens placed the "Black Star" on the wound of the king worm, and then said his final goodbye to the monster that had been refusing to give up chasing him.
"Your soul, I take it. β
As Jiwen's words fell, the gem "Black Star" also began to emit a strange light, and those soul fragments that emitted faint fluorescence diffused from the wound on the head of the king worm, and finally all of them were sucked into the black star.
The light in the eyes of the king worm was finally completely extinguished, and at the same time, the black star that was full of soul flashed with black light, as if it had life, completely different from the withered gem before.
Givens carefully put the black star back away, and then looked around wearily with his longsword.
After the death of the king worm, those thousand-year-old cicadas suddenly had no leader, and they no longer cared about Jiwen, but began to devour the corpse of the king worm first.
Because according to the habits of the thousand-year-old cicada, whoever can better absorb the remaining magic essence in the corpse of the king insect is most likely to stand out in the group and become the next king worm.
Ji Wen didn't bother these millennium cicadas who were eating like crazy, he just dug out a few pieces of magic condensation from the wound on the king worm's head that he had just seen in the king worm's body, which was the essence formed by the king worm absorbing the sap from the roots of the magic giant tree for thousands of years, whether it was alchemy or forging magic items, this was an extremely rare material.
Finally, he picked up the "mirror shadow" and put it back in the storage ring. This shield is indeed as powerful as Hetos said, and as terrible as Hetos said, every time he holds a shield, he is risking life and death. It seems that how to extend the time of holding the shield will be a big problem.
After doing all this, Jiwen dragged his almost collapsed body through the cavern, climbed the sewers, and finally returned to the surface of the royal capital.
When he saw the sky again, it was already white, and the elven king had ushered in a new dawn. Looking at the rising sun, Given's sudden realization that his underground adventure had been going on for almost a day and a night! That meant that Adelia had been doing it for him for a day and a night again.
Looking at the unfamiliar streets around him, Jiwen hurriedly put on his transformation ring and looked for a way to return to the Royal Calling Academy.
After all the twists and turns, Givens rushed to the front of Professor Moseley's teaching building in a rented luxury carriage. Under the astonished gaze of those watchers, Givan, dressed in camouflage, jumped out of the carriage like a gust of wind and rushed into the door of the school building.
As soon as Givens stepped through the door, he stopped.
Because Professor Morris was standing in the hall waiting for him, and the Professor's face was obviously not very good.
Maurice saw Givan and asked in displeasure, "Do you know what you did?" β
Professor Morris's words were a bit harsh, but Givens calmly replied, "I saved Valley this time." β
Given's words struck Professor Morris's heart, and he immediately gave up his intention to reprimand Given, instead asking about Valley about everything.
"Tell me, what happened to her!"
Although the professor did not show an anxious expression, Givens had already understood the professor's state of mind from the change of topic, so Givens patiently explained the ins and outs of this underground expedition to Professor Morris.
After listening to Giving's account, Professor Morris shook his head regretfully. In the end, the summoned beast lost contact with Valley in order to cover her escape. Otherwise, he would have tried to persuade the boy to come back. At least they can protect him, and they can help heal the two poor children.
But the biggest obstacle now is that ValΓ©, the child, has been blinded by misunderstandings and refuses to forgive himself.
Morris shook his head and put the idea aside, but this time Adelia's summoned beast unexpectedly found an important clue. The two children around ValΓ© who were also physically modified seemed to prove a terrible conclusion.
This conclusion was so serious that he felt compelled to tell his old friend Blancs about it.
While Professor Morris looked down and pondered, Givens had been waiting beside him, because the spatial barrier created by the professor was lying in the living room, and no one could pass through without the professor's permission.
Finally, the professor came back to his senses from deep thought, and his face became grim.
"I should thank you for saving Valley. But I'll still say, you crossed the line. β
In all the summoning theories of the elven world, summoned beasts exist to meet the requirements of summoners. The summoner should be unconditionally obedient to the summoner's will, not the other way around. As a summoned beast, Jiwen now has his own free will, and can even act recklessly and autonomously, controlling the actions of the summoner, which almost violates the iron law of summoning.
If it had been thousands of years ago, when summoning was used very harshly, an act like this would have been called a summoning collapse. Such a terrible event occurred, such a summoned beast would be forcibly unsummoned, and the summoner who could not get rid of the influence of the summoned beast would even be executed.
Even though the use of summoning is currently lax, it is nominally forbidden. Even an enlightened Professor Morris could not approve of such a move by Given.
But Given's admonition did not budge in the face of Morris's admonition, and he calmly responded: "I did this to help Adella. β
Givens had his own reasons, but there was no way he could tell Professor Morris the secret that Adella was carrying.
But Professor Morris didn't intend to listen to Giving's arguments, and he said coldly;" I'll remind you one last time, summon the beast. Adelia needs a break. I don't know how they measured you in Sodima City, but her current summoning skills can't sustain your long-term existence in this world. If you don't believe me, go upstairs and see for yourself. β
With that, Professor Morris waved his hand to remove the spatial barrier. Givens was able to step up the stairs to the second floor, where he saw Celestial quietly exiting Adelia's room.
Xianlai'er's expression was gloomy at the moment, even if she saw Jiwen, she didn't have the excited look she had in the past. She just walked over softly and said to Given, "Adelia hasn't slept all night again, she looks terrible." β
Seeing that Xian Lai'er was about to speak and stopped, Jiwen quickly pushed open Adella's door and walked in.
Adelia was leaning against the head of the bed in exhaustion, but she saw that Givens was still struggling to sit up.
"I hear you coming up. β
But Jiwen looked at the haggard look on her face, but he didn't know what to say for a while. Adelia looked at Jivan's silent appearance and took the initiative to ask.
"Why is it so long this time, I thought you would be back in half a day at most. β
Givens sat down next to Adelia and briefly told her about her encounter with Valle and her distress in the sewers. Adelia listened carefully to Givin's account, and was not surprised by what happened to Vallei or the horror of the thousand-year-old cicada, she just muttered a word.
"Those two children are so pathetic. β
As one of the people who witnessed Mira's tragedy, Adelia knows all too well what awaits the fate of those two children. As one of the people who had listened to Blanc's conversation, she also knew that in addition to Professor James, in addition to her teacher Morris, there was also a group of creatures involved in the experiment, and they also knew the secrets of body modification.
That's the demons!
"It must have something to do with the demons. Adelia uttered the word that meant horror again.
Of course, Givenn understood Adella's thoughts, and also understood the demonic shadow behind this matter. Although Jiwen destroyed a cruel demon in the Ten Thousand Beast Forest, no one could say for sure how many demons were still lurking in the royal capital, waiting for an opportunity at any time. But at the moment, Givens was more concerned about another matter.
"What's the matter with the professor saying your body can't support the summoning spell. β
"The teacher said, I can't keep up with you. At this point, Adelia stroked her loose hair, "I have completed the search for the Tree of Life, and now I can easily complete the casting of a fifth-level life spell, even a sixth-level life spell." But the level of my summoning skills is still the same as when I first summoned you. β
Speaking of this, Jiwen suddenly came to his senses. Adelia hadn't tried to summon a single creature since she summoned herself, and her mastery of summoning stopped.
"It's a bit incredible, but you're getting stronger all the time, so I'm left behind. The teacher said that such a call would oppress the body and bring an extra load. Adelia lowered her head and smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Is there a solution?" asked Given
"The professor said it doesn't matter, just make up for it, but I can't summon you anymore lately, or my body will be permanently damaged. β
Unconsciously, Adelia habitually put her hand on Jiwen's hand again, and Jiwen held her slightly cold hand and asked, "Then you have to be careful alone." β
"Rest assured, I'm safe here. β
Givens wanted to continue the conversation, but as he spoke, Professor Morris pushed the door open and walked in, his eyes already signaling that the long summoning had to stop. Given, knowing the burden Adelia was now under, got up to say goodbye.
However, before the summoning was lifted, Professor Morris made an ultimatum to Givens in front of Adelea.
"You have to remember what I said, if your presence caused her body to collapse, I would have to forcibly banish you. β
Morris is a ninth-order summoning emissary, and of course he will use a spell that forcibly dissolves the summoning, although this spell cannot guarantee that the summoned beast will be completely released and will never be summoned back again, like the forbidden spell. However, it is also possible to break the contract between the summoned beast and its owner. For Given, the result of this spell was even worse, as it meant that he would be trapped in the Forbidden God Space forever.
In the face of the professor's accusations, of course, Givens will not accept it. But before he could begin to refute, Adelia rushed to recite the spell to lift the summoning.
In an instant, Jiwen left this world.
