In the intense preparation and practice, four days have passed in a blink of an eye. The six members of the Darko team are still full of time, and on the surface it seems to have returned to the state before the qualifying match, but each of them knows in their hearts that their team has lost a group stage, and the next games cannot be lost again, otherwise they will be eliminated directly.

In the meantime, Kevin went to the casino again, not to relax, but to find out the rest of the first round. After losing that day, they had to hurry up to save the orc warriors, and the second game of Group D, Merkelt and Nairobi did not see the result. Their opponents in the second round were none other than Merkelt, who finished 8th in qualifying.

Kevin soon saw the result of the game, with 8th-placed Merkelt beating 12th-placed Nairobi without an upset, and Merkelt won but it took 27 minutes to get the win, and it was clear that the difference in quality between the two teams was not as pronounced as the qualifying position.

In addition, Kevin also paid attention to the odds of the second round of the group stage, and the next game of the Dacko team will meet the Merkelt team, and you can roughly understand the strength of the opponent from the odds and time. The handicap situation is that Merkelt concedes 21 minutes, which means that the bookmaker is optimistic about Merkelt winning.

Darko is in fifth place in the odds to win the championship before qualifying, and is one of the more favored teams, while Merkelt, who is not very strong now, is also at a disadvantage. The reason why it has fallen to the point where it is now is mainly because the orc warrior was too seriously injured in the last game, which will inevitably affect the second round of the game, so he is not favored.

In fact, four full days have passed, and the orc warrior is still lying unconscious in the basement of the tree keep. One more day of coma, the hearts of several members of the Darko team became heavier and heavier, after all, the second round of the group stage began in three days, and the later they woke up for recovery training, the greater the disadvantage.

When Darko went down to the basement that day, he saw several other people gathered around the flower field, not knowing what they were doing. Usually, only Liya often comes to take care of the orc warriors, and the others rarely pay attention, but today they are all here, obviously as the second round of the game is approaching, everyone is worried about the condition of the orc warriors.

Darko stepped closer and saw that Leah's face was sad, and the green magic light was still releasing from her hands, but the orc warrior didn't seem to have any injuries on the surface, and the healing spell was simply enhancing its vitality.

Darko placed his finger on the orc warrior's nostrils and noticed that it was breathing evenly. He asked curiously, "What's wrong with it?

Wendy said with a little solemnity, "I can feel that the circulation in its body has been completely unblocked, and the damaged organs have been healed, and I don't know why it still hasn't woken up." ”

Leah sighed, turned her head and said, "The physiology of orcs is not much different from that of humans and elves, and it is true that all injuries have been healed, why are you still unconscious?"

"The soul is also very vigorous, it has not been damaged, and it stands to reason that it should not have been asleep for so long. Phyllis put her hand on the orc warrior's forehead and felt it, and then pinched its man, "Are you pretending to be asleep?"

"In a coma, most of the physiological functions can be interrupted, so the body can be relieved of the burden, so coma is a kind of self-protection in a state of serious injury. Leah spread her hands and continued, "But according to common sense, after the body returns to a normal state, and after a little time to recover her mental strength, she will inevitably wake up from a coma. Although there is no fixed standard for the duration of the coma, it has been four days, which is not a short time. ”

Kevin also groaned and said, "If only there was a soul priest, you can try to awaken it from the soul level, maybe it can work." ”

The priest is a profession dedicated to improving spiritual power, while the soul priest focuses more on the use of spiritual power, and all their offensive and defensive means are soul spells. In contrast, necromancers like Phyllis are also mentally powerful professions, but they focus on control rather than detection, and they are helpless against this situation. Phyllis was able to take out the soul of an orc warrior, but she couldn't awaken it without harming her life.

Phyllis angrily kicked the orc warrior in annoyance, "This is St. Yale, the alchemist grabs a handful, but where to find the soul priest?

Wendy suddenly turned her head to look at Darko, "Darko, your mental power is very strong, try to see if you can wake it up." ”

"Me?" Darko was stunned for a moment, and immediately shook his head repeatedly, "How is this possible, the threshold of the Soul Priest is not low, and I have not learned any spiritual spells, so I have no way to start." ”

Kevin suddenly interjected, "Aren't you going to use mental shock?"

Darko smiled wryly, "That's a mental shock, okay! I'm only going to have a little fur, and now it's useless to wake up the orc warriors, and use mental impact." ”

Darko had been with Ah Wu for a long time, and he knew very well the difficulty of spiritual spells, which not only required strong mental power, but also had precise control and corresponding skills. So far, he has only scratched the surface of the two skills of mental shock and will weakening, and if he is allowed to fight purely with mental spells, I am afraid that he will not even be able to defeat opponents who are two levels lower than him.

Phyllis rolled her eyes and said, "How do you know if you can do it if you haven't tried it?" Anyway, there are only three days before the start of the second round of the group stage, and if you don't wake it up, you won't even have time for recovery training, so it's better to be a dead horse and be a live horse doctor." ”

Darko was stunned and was about to say something, but saw Otto also nod and say, "Miss Nike is right, it's better to start recovery training early, otherwise the next game will be dangerous." ”

Finally, Leah also interjected, "Then let Darko try, but be careful, if the soul of the orc warrior is damaged, it will also affect the rest of the game." ”

Hearing everyone say this, Darko could only stubbornly walk to the side of the orc warrior, while recalling the several spiritual spells he had been exposed to. Among the skills of Will Weakening, Mental Confusion, Mind Control, Mind Guidance, and Mind Shock, only Mental Impact was actually practiced by him, and the other Mind Weakening Dakko was derived and learned by himself based on the feelings he felt in the fight with VitK4, and the effect was not very good.

Darko first put his hand on the forehead of the orc warrior, carefully extending his spiritual power towards the soul of the orc warrior, he needed to have a general understanding of its soul in order to know how to use spells to awaken the orc warrior. But his spiritual power circled around the soul of the orc warrior a few times, but it could only be detected on the periphery, and the entire soul of the orc warrior was like a mess of paste, and he couldn't see through it. Leah has also used mental power to probe before, but she doesn't have any clue, Darko's mental power is slightly stronger, and she can also only feel that the soul of the orc warrior is actually awake, but it is not connected to the body, so the body is still unconscious.

Darko closed his eyes and said strangely, "It seems to be a spirit separation? ”

Otto repeated in confusion, "Spirit separation?"

"I felt like a separation during the treatment, but I'm not sure, and now it seems to be so. Leah nodded solemnly and replied to Otto, "The separation of the spirit is that the soul and the body are separated, and they are not connected, so even if the soul is awake, the body is still asleep. ”

"Could it be the Kostner team?" Otto guessed.

Wendy also shook her head, "The separation of spirits is similar to the situation of a ghost pressing the bed, it cannot be determined by subjective consciousness, and there is no spell that can do it, it can't be the Kostner team playing tricks." ”

Phyllis shrugged and said, "Even necromancers can't strip their souls alive, so this situation can only be regarded as a supernatural event." ”

Darko still had his eyes closed, and muttered, "It seems, doesn't want to wake up." ”

"What do you mean?"

Darko's experience is rather special, and his understanding of soul and faith is relatively profound, so he speculated, "It may be that some kind of will or obsession of this orc warrior himself played a role after he fell unconscious, so it became the current situation." ”

Phyllis was stunned at first, and then rolled up her sleeves in a frustrated manner, "So it's slacking off! I know the orcs Kevin found can't be trusted! Look at how I clean it up!"

Kevin innocently touched his nose but said nothing.

Darko hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm just guessing, I can't say what the situation is, I'll try later." ”

Hearing Darko say this, several people also waited and watched, but Daktronics thought about it, and in this case, it was not appropriate to use mental shock or will to weaken. While he was struggling, his spiritual power suddenly sensed a gap in the soul of the orc warrior. It's like a ravine in the mountains, and it's just the right place to start. Darko's heart moved, and his spiritual power probed into the gap, exploring into the soul of the orc warrior, and sure enough, he penetrated into it with a little pressure.

In an instant, Darko found that the surrounding scene had become a large wilderness, and the wilderness was flanked by two mountains, snow-capped mountains on one side and dense jungle on the other. Darko seemed to be in a completely new world, but when he thought about it, he already knew that this was the world in the spirit of the orc warriors, a fictional scene.

Following the guidance of the psychic powers, Darko found a simple village in front of him, which reminded him of the settlement of the Mercury plane, but it was a simple tent made of monster fur and whole trees. At this time, the settlement was burning with a large flame, and there was no combustible material but it was still burning, which could be seen as a magical flame. The flames were mixed with orc corpses all over the ground, and along the way, it was found that there was not a single living mouth, and there was a clearing in the center of the village, which was according to common sense as a place of sacrifice for each orc group, but the scene suddenly turned into the basement of the tree castle. Darko was stunned, realizing that the world built by this soul was as unreal as a dream. In the center of the basement was a cage made of thick logs, and in it was an orc warrior who was crawling on the ground in shackles, seemingly grieving.

Darko approached and gradually realized the psychological state of the orc warrior. The scene outside was when it was captured by Kevin, and now it was imprisoned in the Tree Castle, no matter how much it resisted, it couldn't destroy the shackles on its hands and feet, and the cage that Leah had built by spelling. The simple-minded orc warrior felt like a deserter in such a situation, so it chose this stupid state to maintain, as if as long as it kept crawling like a stone statue, it didn't need to face such a reality. As a result, its external physiological signs showed a state of continuous coma.

Darko sighed softly and put his hand on the wooden cage, thinking about how to open it, but the cage disappeared on its own. Darko was stunned for a moment before realizing that the scenes he saw now were all embodied in the souls of orc warriors, and as long as he had an idea, it was equivalent to using his own spiritual power to interfere and make the interference change. So when he had the idea of opening the cage, the cage itself was gone.

After the cage disappeared, the orc warriors lying on the ground remained motionless, like dead corpses. Darko approached slowly, went up and kicked the orc warrior lightly, just to prove that it was not a stone statue. The orc warrior didn't seem to feel this, still prostrate unresponsive, his face pressed against the ground.

"Do you want to suffocate yourself to death? But it is impossible to suffocate in the spiritual world. Darko suddenly felt that the state of the orc warriors was funny, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud. Darko held his stomach and laughed for a while, before he couldn't help but say to himself, "What the hell is going on, is it because you have low intelligence and can't solve the problem here?"

At this moment, the orc warrior jerked his head up and let out an angry roar at Darko. This loud roar was like a spiritual shock, directly attacking Darko's soul, and Darko suddenly felt a heart-piercing pain in his eyebrows, and couldn't help but snort in pain.
