Chapter 26: A Visitor from the Otherworld

It was four men in fancy costumes.

The man on the far left was two meters tall, wearing a bright silver full-body armor with a two-handed sword hanging from his waist. He held a knight's helmet in his right hand, pressed his left hand on the hilt of his sword, and his square face was full of solemn and solemn expressions. He had chestnut curly hair, deep-set eye sockets, and dark brown eyes with a sharp divine light like a falcon.

The man on the far right is a small man who is only about 1.6 meters tall. He was a thin man, dressed in swarthy half-body leather armor, and casually pinned a two-foot-long dagger to his belt. His appearance is ordinary, and he belongs to the public face that cannot be found when thrown into the crowd. Just a pair of blue eyes, slightly distinctive.

The two in the middle are an old man and a beautiful woman.

The old man was dressed in a white robe, and the robe was embroidered with intricate and ornate patterns that revealed a hint of mystery. His gray beard hung down to his chest, and his hair was a little thin. His forehead was covered with layers of wrinkles, and his face was covered with age spots. But his eyes were bright and bright, and seemed to contain endless mysteries and wisdom.

In his left hand, he held a thick book, the cover and back cover of the thick book, which seemed to be made of bronze, shimmered in the moonlight with a cold light of metal, and from time to time quietly passed a mysterious halo. In his right hand, he carried a long white staff half a head taller than him, and at the tip of the staff was inlaid with a fist-sized fiery red crystal. There seems to be a mysterious space inside the crystal, flowing with hot magma.

The only woman among the four was a girl who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old.

Her skin is as smooth as jade, firm and delicate. She has a delicate face and a stunningly beautiful face. Her eyes are like a blue lake, and her eyes contain maturity and stability that do not match her appearance. What's even more bizarre are her ears, which are long and pointed, which look weird and have a strange charm.

A lake-green robe as thin as a light gauze wrapped around her delicate body. The robes were embroidered with branches and petals. The petals of the branches look lifelike, not like embroidery, but like real flowers and branches and leaves, inlaid on the robe.

She wore a beautiful wreath of flowers on her head, which tied up her long, pale blonde hair. She held an oak staff one and a half feet long in her right hand. The oak staff looked like it had just been cut off from a tree, without any carvings, and remained natural. On the cane, there are even a few lush green leaves.

These four people in strange costumes, and even strange appearances, stood quietly on the rooftop, cautiously looking around.

"The Demon Lord of Destruction is on this plane?" The burly man said in a strange tone, in an unfamiliar language that had never appeared on Earth: "I didn't expect that after she was deprived of most of her strength, she would be able to escape from the chaos and find a main material plane......"

The thin man in leather armor said in the same language: "Yes, no one thought that the chaotic space, which even the gods feared, failed to kill her completely, but still let her escape......

The old man said: "After all, she is a demon king who has conquered many planes and destroyed many gods, and she is an existence that is above the rules of all planes. It's not surprising to be able to escape from the chaos. Fortunately, the gods had the foresight and joined forces to leave a mark on her. As soon as she leaves the chaos and enters a certain primary material realm, the gods can sense her presence and know the coordinates of the plane she is in through the brand. ”

The burly man said, "Praise be to the gods! It is the foresight of the gods that gives us the opportunity to completely eliminate the hidden dangers. Otherwise, she can hide and regain her strength with peace of mind. If she is allowed to regain her strength, then you will face a catastrophe of destruction again. ”

Click...... As he spoke, there was a slight clicking sound on the quiet rooftop, like rats gnawing on wooden planks, and insects gnawing on leaves.

All four men are alert at the same time, looking for the source of the sound. Soon, they made a discovery.

The voice came from the burly man in the shiny silver armor.

At this moment, a little bit of bright light was escaping from the burly man's armor. It was as if thousands of streams of light were floating in the air and disappearing without a trace. In an instant, the armor on the burly man's body, which seemed to be indestructible and wrapped around his whole body like an iron can, had become dull, as if it had been corroded by time for thousands of years.

As the stray light drifted away, tiny cracks gradually opened in the armor. The countless tiny cracks spread rapidly as if they were alive, and instantly crawled all over the armor.

Click...... In a series of slight cracking sounds, the burly man's whole body armor was dimmed, cracked, and decayed in the eyes of the four of them at a speed visible to the naked eye, and pieces of rusted metal peeled off and fell from the armor one after another, and before they hit the ground, they had turned into clumps of rust-colored fine powder.

In less than half a minute, the burly man's whole body armor had completely disappeared, and only a fine rust-colored powder remained in his right hand holding the helmet.

At the same time, the burly man's long sword also began to emit a little streamer, dim and decaying. The same is true of the leather armor and short sword on the thin and short man's body, and thousands of small dark points of light appear from the thin man's leather armor and short sword, and soon his leather armor rots into a broken skin, and decays into dust, and the short sword also turns into rust.

Next, changes appear in the old man and the girl. The old man's robes, bronze books, long staffs, and small ornaments such as rings and pendants emitted colorful dots of light one after another; The garland on the girl's head, the wooden staff in her hand, and the art-like gauze robe on her body also emitted emerald green points of light.

"Rule suppression!" The old man looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "I can't think of it...... The rules of this plane are so unfriendly to the power of transcendence. Any item with a supernatural power attached to it will be destroyed by the rules of the plane in a very short period of time! ”

As a legendary mage, the old man could see at a glance what had happened to him and others.

But even if he knew the cause of the incident, he was powerless to stop it. As strong as a legendary mage, in a completely unfamiliar plane, he is powerless to resist the rules of the plane that dominate everything!

In just a few minutes, all the transcendent items on the four of them were rotted into ashes.

All that was left of the burly man was an ordinary linen shirt and a pair of gray trousers. The skinny man was even worse, with only a pair of shorts left. The old man was left with an underrobe that looked like pajamas. The girl only has a bandeau left, a knee-length shirt, a flat and smooth lower abdomen, a waist that is full of hands, slender and well-proportioned calves, and red. The bare and delicate jade feet are all exposed.

"It's a lot of loss......" the old man shook his head and sighed. In addition to the items they were wearing, the storage equipment of the four of them was also destroyed, and the equipment, materials, potions, etc. inside were naturally inescapable. The old man couldn't help but feel bitter at the thought of having just descended on this plane and suffering such a heavy blow.

However, the destruction of objects is only the beginning.

Without the protection of the transcendent object, the four of them soon felt that the invisible and pervasive power of the rules began to seep into their bodies, eroding their own strength. This process is unstoppable, irreversible, and can only be endured!

The rune tattoo that was first drawn on the four of them, increasing their respective abilities, was completely erased by the power of the rules. Then there is the extraordinary ability that they have worked so hard to cultivate......

It was only a few minutes later, and the spirits of the four people all withered, and their faces showed exhaustion that could not be concealed. The old man bent down even more, sat down tremblingly and fell to the ground, his wrinkles and age spots were more and denser, and his eyes became cloudy, as if he had become an ordinary old man in his last years.

"There is only about the second level of physical strength left." The burly man said in a hoarse voice: "My lord's divine power has all disappeared, and my current strength is only equivalent to that of an ordinary second-level warrior. ”

He was originally a holy warrior with a powerful divine power, and he had an overwhelming advantage over ordinary samurai of the same level. But now that his divine power is gone, he is no different from an ordinary samurai. The power of the rules not only erased the divine power, but even the pure flesh that he had worked so hard to cultivate. The physical strength has also been suppressed by most of it, and only about the second level of strength is retained.

And he also felt that the invisible plane rules did not stop there. The net of rules is still tightening, trying to further suppress his strength.

"I only have the strength equivalent of a second-level assassin left." The thin man smiled bitterly, "All the skills that use extraordinary abilities can't be used. ”

"You're lucky...... the old man smiled even more bitterly, "At least you can still retain some of your strength without relying on extraordinary strength, and I ......"

He raised an index finger, and it was a long time before a faint spark lit up on the tip of his finger. The spark was small and faint, barely as small as a lit match, "Look, it's so difficult for me to perform an apprentice-level ignition technique. ”

Seeing that the old man's strength had almost been completely emptied, both the burly man and the thin man couldn't help but change their faces.

"Master Saron, is there no way?" The burly man asked nervously.

"There is a ...... way" The old man known as "Master Saron" frowned and muttered, "Although the rules of this plane are strict and powerful, and extremely unfriendly to the power of transcendent power, I don't need to fight against the rules. As long as I am given enough time to parse the rules, I have a way to modify the spells so that they follow the rules. It's just that the process can be quite lengthy...... It is impossible for the most transformed spell to return to its original power......"

At this, he shook his head and sighed, and said to the girl with pointed ears like a legendary elf, "Master Ellenita, how are you doing?" ”

The girl, who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, but could be called "Master Elenita" by Master Saron, said indifferently in a quiet and elegant voice like a nightingale singing: "My situation is not very good, and I have lost most of my extraordinary abilities. The martial arts are only equivalent to the strength of a second-level samurai. But the ability to communicate with animals seems to be still there. ”

Hearing her say this, Master Salon, the burly man, and the thin man's eyes lit up at the same time. In this plane, which is extremely unfriendly to the amount of transcendent power, the ability to communicate with animals can be regarded as a dream-level ability.

Master Saron laughed, "With the help of animal companions, there is still hope for the search for that Demon Lord of Destruction!" "Having lost most of their power, especially the endless, versatile, and unpredictable mana power of the legendary mage, the four of them are so weak that it is impossible for them to find their target in the vast sea of people in this unfamiliar plane.

With an animal companion it's different.

Although the rules of this plane are extremely unfriendly to the amount of extraordinary power, the animals should be ordinary animals, and there are no magical beasts or the like, so they can't help much. But having an animal companion is equivalent to having a lot of eyeliner, and at least there is hope for finding people.

The burly man frowned and said, "I don't know the Demon King of Destruction...... Will it be like us, and encounter such a strong suppression by the rules of the plane? ”

Master Saron smiled bitterly, "That Demon Lord of Destruction is an existence that is above the rules of all planes. Even the chaotic space can't completely kill her, although the rules of this plane are strong and strict, but ......" he shook his head and said, "But the impact on her will definitely not be as serious as ours." I'm afraid that she will be suppressed by the rules of the plane at most half of her strength. ”

"Then our mission ......" The burly man's face turned pale: "Isn't there no hope?" Even if we can find her, in our current situation, we can't do anything with her......"

"Maybe it's not that bad." Master Saron muttered, "Many ancient gods paid such a heavy price, teamed up to deprive her of most of her strength, and banished her into the chaotic space...... Even she, after losing most of her strength and being seriously injured, could not have escaped unscathed in the chaotic space. In order to resist the erosion of chaos, she will inevitably consume most of her remaining strength. ”

Master Elenita also bowed her head slightly, and said in a voice as beautiful as a nightingale singing, "Master Salon's words are right. The power of Chaos is terrifying, and even the Demon Lord of Destruction must constantly consume his power if he wants to resist the erosion of Chaos. And to directly penetrate the crystal wall of the plane from the chaos and enter this main material plane, it also requires a great deal of energy. ”

Master Saron continued, "Chaos is like the sea, and the plane is like an island in the sea. The Lord of Destruction enters the main material plane from the chaos, like swimming to an island on his own in the middle of the ocean. She needs to fight against the monsters in the sea, the undercurrents and waves of the sea, and finally have to forcibly break the defenses on the periphery of the island in order to successfully land. Whether it is strength or equipment, her consumption must be incredible. And we are directly teleported by the gods according to the coordinates, just like away from the sea, flying in the air, and descending directly from the air to the center of the island, so that in the process of plane shuttle, the strength and equipment are unscathed. It was only after the advent that the rules suppressed ......"

After a pause, Master Saron said in a deep voice: "Therefore, even if the Demon Lord of Destruction is not as severely affected by the rules of the plane as we are, her strength must be very small, and the situation of her equipment may be slightly better than ours, but it is definitely not much better!" Our task is not entirely hopeless. ”

After listening to the words of the two masters, the faces of the burly man and the thin man looked a little better.

"Two masters, what should we do next?" The burly man asked.

"Next......" Master Salons looked at Master Ellenita, staggered a little to the fence on the edge of the rooftop, and looked at the brightly lit city below, "We must first understand this world, learn the common sense of this world, and get in touch with the aborigines of this world." Preferably, it is possible to be friends with powerful people among the aborigines......"
