The void is like a black curtain, and only a little bit of light looms in the background gives people a sense of comfort, but when the distance is far enough, those points of light will not move, and the silence will be insanely quiet. Each bit of light actually leads to a separate plane, and it is the spatial rifts that create stable or unstable spaces in those planes, through which the light shines into the void.
Theoretically, any Void rift that emits light can be used to reach the corresponding plane. But in fact, the location of the light may be relatively close or extremely distant. At Darko's current rate, it could take a year to get to the near plane. Those truly distant planes may have to fly hundreds or even thousands of years before they can be reached. What's more, those stable spatial rifts can also be disordered for some reason, and it is likely that they have been bothering to rush towards a certain light for a long time, only to suddenly find that the light has disappeared at some point.
Darko moved in the void, he had roughly mastered the method of moving in the void by mana, although a person placed in the background of the void was as small as a firefly, but as long as he kept moving, he would always reach the end. Darko has memories of experiencing dark spaces, and the experience of silence and solitude has become commonplace for him. That dark space was a place where even his own sense of existence could be erased, and now that there was at least a little light in this void, he took it as a new experience and explored it unhurriedly.
The void is not calm, and terrifying energy storms will pass from time to time. If it collides with such a storm head-on, even a saint-level powerhouse will be hated. Fortunately, most of those Void Storms have a fixed range, and as long as you don't enter the storm area, there is no danger.
Being banished to the Void unprepared was certainly not in Darko's plans, and he hadn't even done any homework on his expedition into the Void. The curriculum of the Academy of Magic was more gradual, and high-end things like Void Exploration were only learned in the third or fourth year, but he only stayed for a year.
Fortunately, Dakko is still well prepared in some aspects, and there is a large amount of food in the space ring, which is enough to survive for several months. So he could only accept the reality and began to move towards the aimless front, looking for a way back to the plane of Ametsia. His past life was either a busy or suffocating pursuit, and he rarely had such a period of time to relax himself, as if he was on vacation.
There was no concept of time in the void, but Darko's own biological clock was so precise that he calculated that he had been wandering like this for ten days. He wandered aimlessly, thinking about the mess.
Such as the past, such as the future.
In Darko's memory fragments, the past of his past life is a mess of inexplicability, but it goes well with this flounder bloodline that originated from chaos. Killed inexplicably and resurrected inexplicably, the mutilation of key memory fragments prevents him from piecing together all those causes and effects. And in order to retrieve his memory, Darko subconsciously thinks that he still has to return to the Temple of Light where the memory originated. It's just that he already has too many dark imprints on him, and I'm afraid this idea will be difficult to realize in a short period of time.
For the future, Daktronics is very assertive. Of course, his opinion is the opinion of the master. Returning to Phyllis, the idea didn't need any reason or meaning, as if it were the ultimate meaning of Darko's existence. After merging with Bright's soul, many of Darko's personalities and thoughts have changed, but only his feelings for Phyllis have not changed, completely maintaining Darko's own subjective assumptions. Returning to Phyllis naturally became his next goal, and it was also the main motivation for him to explore the way back in the Void.
What still needs to be worried is the pursuit of the enemy. Although he has survived the one-year period, and his price on the life spectrum of the Vitamin Guild has inevitably increased a lot, the crisis still exists, and there are still many questions that have not been solved, and it is far from the time to relax. Who bought his life through the Vitamin Guild, whether it was related to his own death in his previous life, and whether the other party would have a follow-up action? These are all questions that he needs to have a headache for.
The reason why we have to worry so much and get to the bottom of it is because of our low strength. When Mercury was chased to the fullest, Darko blamed himself more than once for his scum-like strength. And until now, he has reached the level of a great magician, and he can finally call himself a strong man. Now he not only has a high level, but also has the actual combat skills that he has honed in a year of pursuit. What's more, there are also real names and bloodlines, two powers that ordinary people don't have.
Feeling the bloodline in his body, Daktronics felt very fulfilled. But judging from the energy contained in the bloodline, this flounder bloodline is stronger than most of the bloodlines of the Ameixia plane, and perhaps only the bloodlines of the nine major families can match it. Of course, most of those bloodlines have huge bonuses to specific spells, such as Phyllis using a lich that can only be summoned by a mage at the level of a great mage. Darko's flounder bloodline, on the other hand, can be seen as a pure increase in magic output.
Occasionally, when he thinks about his newfound pedigree, Darko wants to give it a try, like a child who has just gotten a new toy, and is looking forward to playing with it right away. But he explored all the way in the void, but he didn't see anything, the void was an empty and barren place, and creatures were hard to find, except for the chaos flounder he saw at the beginning, he didn't see anything again. Without objects, there was no way to test the power of magic, so he had to continue his journey.
Many more days passed, and suddenly a sparkle appeared in Darko's sight. At first, Darko thought that his eyes were spent, so he rubbed his eyes vigorously, and when he looked again, he was sure that he was not wrong. In the distance, something that shimmered was drifting by.
Dakko didn't hesitate for a moment, and immediately moved in that direction. The distances in the void are far away, and in the plane, the line of sight is affected due to visibility, and things that are too far away cannot be seen. But in the void, there is a dark background, and the glowing objects are very obvious, and when Darko sees this group of objects, he only thinks it is a little far away, but when he moves, he realizes what it means to look at the mountains and run dead horses.
Half an hour later, Darko was still very far away from the luminous object, and the scope of the luminous object was only slightly larger in his vision. Darko thought about it and felt that one was because the distance was too far, and the other was because his speed was too slow. Darko's heart suddenly moved, why not use space magic? It had also thought about using flashing techniques to move in the void before, but the speed of moving forward without a target was actually the same, so he gave up this idea. But now that group of luminous objects was the best target, so he thought of doing it, and immediately began to guide the way with his spiritual power, preparing to flash.
The Blood Mage's wand shattered when it was attacked by the plane, so Darko had to use the spatial ring to pull out Orlando's thick, long hazel wand. This wand is two meters long, which is very inconvenient to use, especially when it is easy to hinder movement during pursuit, so he basically did not use it when he was in the Mercury plane. But now that he is in the void, surrounded by empty spaces, he will not be stumped by anything on the wand, so he can use it with confidence.
After a flash, Darko continued to move at a constant speed, waiting for his mana to regenerate. He found that the glowing object was a little offset from before, and he quickly figured out that this was a deviation from his mental guidance. Mental power does not extend exactly to the place where the vision is looking, but there will be a small declination. This slight deviation is negligible in short-distance teleportation, but now that he is carrying out the longest spatial movement at the limit of his mental power, the natural deviation is obvious.
Dakko knew that he had such a deficiency and began to find a way to make up for it. He first controlled a small amount of mana output each time, and then judged the deviation of his flash by the displacement angle of the luminous object, and then adjusted it in the next flash. This approach yielded good results, and the deviation of the flash gradually narrowed, and gradually became close to moving in a straight line. So he increased his mana output again and adjusted it in the same way.
There is a certain deviation in the direction of human vision and mental power guidance, and the direction that the eyes see may not be able to accurately point in that direction with mental power, so long-distance spell casting will be deviated due to the guidance of mental power. What Darko did was practice his accuracy in long-distance spatial movement, which he had done on the spotlight after spotting the glowing object, but it seemed to work well.
During this time, Darko also tried to use the power of the flounder blood to make a flash, but the result was not to advance but to retreat, moving a large distance to the side and rear. He was speechless, it seemed that the chaotic attribute of the Flounder bloodline was too obvious, the space was completely disrupted, and the priority of its chaos was still above the guidance of spiritual power. Fortunately, this is in the empty void, if he uses such a random flash in the plane, which is more random than random teleportation, I am afraid that he will not know how to die, so he has to give up using the flounder blood to flash.
After another hour, Darko finally saw the form of the glowing object, which was a large jellyfish! translucent body, mushroom-like head, and tentacles longer than the body, all resembling jellyfish in the plane. This creature Dakko had learned in the systematic anatomy course, but had not dissected it, probably because Void creatures were rarer, and rare things were usually more valuable.
This void creature is called the Crystal Jellyfish, and it absorbs the energy of the Void Storm to survive. It is called the Magic Crystal Jellyfish because it is able to store the absorbed energy in the body and collect it into a magic crystal. When the size increases to a certain extent, the magic crystal jellyfish larvae will be released from the top, and the magic crystal will also split into two pieces, one of which will enter the body of the magic crystal jellyfish larvae.
When Darko saw the magic crystal jellyfish, the first thing he thought of was that he was going to make a fortune this time. But he immediately remembered what had been written in the book, that the tentacles of this magic crystal jellyfish could absorb not only the energy of the Void Storm, but also the energy of almost all living beings. If you are accidentally surrounded by a large group of magic crystal jellyfish, even a saint-level powerhouse may be sucked into a dry corpse.
Darko looked at this group of magic crystal jellyfish, slightly hesitant, he made a preliminary observation, the number of this group of magic crystal jellyfish was no less than 100,000, and it must not be something he could deal with. But he immediately remembered the power in his bloodline, so he was full of energy, thinking that if it was a big deal, he would flash and escape, what was there to be afraid of? As long as he killed hundreds of them and put them in the spatial ring, it would be a windfall to bring them back to the plane. He didn't have the character of asking for money and not wanting to die, but in fact, he still had the purpose of wanting to test his bloodline.
After a dozen more flashes, the entire group of magic crystal jellyfish had filled Darko's sight, and there was no end in sight to the left and right. And at this distance, you can already see the magic crystals in the body of this group of magic crystal jellyfish, some of them are big and some are small, the small ones are the size of fingernails, and the big ones are the size of fists. Radiating a faint milky white light, it is scattered through the translucent body of the jellyfish, which is very dreamy.
Darko tentatively shot a crescent of ice moon at a small stream of magic crystal jellyfish, and after a minute, the ice moon grazed the target and flew into the distance, and Dakko couldn't control the magic because of the distance. Although he didn't hit, the small group of magic crystal jellyfish followed the trajectory of the Ice Moon Technique to find Darko, an uninvited guest, and there were thirty or forty magic crystal jellyfish immediately approaching him. Behind the magic crystal jellyfish is dozens of tentacles longer than the body, and as soon as these tentacles stretch and contract, the jellyfish will slide forward for a certain distance, and the speed is also extremely fast.
Darko didn't care, looking at this group of undisciplined magic crystal jellyfish, the corners of his mouth showed a smile. What he was most worried about was actually organized low-level creatures, but now it seemed that these magic crystal jellyfish would only swarm over, and they didn't know anything about outflanking and interception, at best, they were just a group of low-IQ monsters with high attacks.
Darko unhurriedly blessed himself with frost armor and air shield, and of course he didn't use the power of the flounder bloodline in defensive magic, otherwise he would have attacked himself before he could defend himself. He waited silently for the Crystal Jellyfish to approach, and when he was about to enter the range of his spiritual power, he began to chant the incantation.
A large dusty gray rolled up in the void, swirling and tearing the surrounding magic crystal jellyfish to shreds. But before the whirlpool could stabilize, a violent wave immediately came out of it, and the entire whirlpool immediately turned into a raging wave, spreading in all directions in a radial shape. The magic crystal jellyfish that were affected in this range all turned into a puff of broken corpses, floating powerlessly in the void.
The decision to attack using the Blizzard was a deliberate decision by Darko, and the Blizzard's wide range of attacks allowed it to bring out all the furious power of the Flounder's bloodline. And its wide range of effect means that the bloodline power is relatively scattered, and it will not hurt him as a spellcaster.
After testing, sure enough, the power of the chaotic blizzard is very powerful. But looking at the corpse of the magic crystal jellyfish in front of him, Darko was not happy at all, because he saw that in addition to the fragments of the magic crystal jellyfish in the void, there were also fragments of the magic crystal! Although the magic crystal could still be sold for money after being broken into a few pieces, its value was undoubtedly reduced a lot.
Seeing that his magic had damaged so many magic crystals, Darko's heart felt like it was dripping blood.
