Chapter 15: The Undead (5)
As soon as this thought appeared in Rhaegar's mind, it sprouted uncontrollably and grew like a seed sown in the 'spring' sky, and at this moment, he finally realized something that even the gods had ignored, and the violent storm and thunder rolled in his mind, and his view of spells and rules changed drastically.
A roar sounded in his head, and he once again entered the mysterious 'chaotic' space, the eyes of the man in black flashing with purple 'color' light were so close to him, and information continued to flow from those eyes into the depths of his soul, the understanding of the universe, the view of matter and energy, and the perception of the law...... If the knowledge he had gained up to this point had been a drizzle, then at this moment, when his roots were deep enough and truly united with the earth, this information was a torrential rain, and his soul grew in this rain at an unprecedented rate.
"It's strange," Thork's voice rang out as Rhaegar emerged from the sea of souls, "Your soul was weak a minute ago, as clear as a crystal clear stream to me, but now, it's a deep pool. ”
"Thanksgiving me," Rhaegar said with a smile in his soul, "just a few small changes, and anyway, I want to thank you for saving me from the impasse with that lich, my dear friend." ”
A warm and intimate feeling that is difficult to describe in words 'stirred' and 'swinging' between the two, and Rhaegar finally knew the true origin of Sock - this seemingly ordinary bead is the collection of countless primal energy highly condensed, it is a primordial creature with intelligence, in a sense, it is also the spokesperson of the primordial energy, as long as there is enough time to grow, it will become the god of primordial energy. But for Rhaegar it was no different from any other Primal Ability, and was his best friend.
Countless Primal Spirits crowded around Rhaegar and Thork, dancing and jumping with joy, Rhaegar could even hear their silent cheers, he was completely immersed in the 'communion' with the Primal Powers, and the partners who had once produced a barrier returned to their former intimacy.
"I knew you were a different guy!" said Sock cheerfully, a faint yellow glow flickering on the surface of the earthy yellow beads.
An invisible pressure suddenly descended on the 'hole' and 'hole', and under the pressure of this supreme majesty, the Primordial Instincts fled in panic, and even Rhaegar and Sock felt a throbbing from their hearts.
"It's a promotion test!" there was a hint of uneasiness in Sock's tone, "I saw it when I was with Soke, it was a test of the universe's existence to break through a certain limit, and no one could escape it. ”
Needless to say, Rhaegar had already known what was coming, having experienced several of these tests long before becoming the God of Judgment, and in fact, this test should have first appeared when he first stepped into the ranks of forbidden mages, but for the universe, Rhaegar who devoured the ancestor of magic of the same origin was just the same person as the former, and the ancestor of magic had already passed his own test. "Just a teaser," he said calmly, "the real test will come in three days, and we still have time to prepare." He looked at Sock, "Will you help me?"
The sky of the undead world is always gray, and in this unchanging sky, there are no clouds, no rain, no lightning and thunder, and all the celestial phenomena of other worlds do not exist here, which has become common sense for the creatures of the undead world.
Today, however, this common sense has been subverted like never before: dense black clouds cover an area of thousands of meters, and between the clouds that are as black as substance, jumping electric lights emit terrifying energy from time to time, and even those arrogant bone dragons dare not approach these black clouds.
A translucent figure stood on the ground beneath the black cloud, seemingly oblivious to the terrifying black cloud overhead. Standing in the middle of the magic array formed by countless magic symbols, Rhaegar slowly raised his head and looked at the sky, "Come on!" he shouted, and a strong 'wave' immediately rushed from his body to the sky.
This became the signal for the test to be launched, almost at the same time as the 'wave' was emitted, a pillar of light with a diameter of about one meter fell from the sky and fell towards Rhaeggar, just from the texture of the almost viscous liquid, you can see how amazing the energy contained in this pillar of light is, if it is changed to Rhaegar three days ago, the only thing he can do under this terrible attack is to flee far away.
But now it is different, removing the promotion test cannot escape the unchangeable laws in this universe, and Rhaegar, who has further comprehended the relationship between the original energy and the rules, has enough confidence to deal with this pillar of light. With a thought, countless points of light gathered at Rhaegar from all directions, and quickly formed a huge character above his head, and the next moment, the powerful pillar of light smashed into it.
There was no explosion, no energy escaping everywhere, the characters and the pillar of light both disappeared into thin air silently, and with the effective dispatch of the rules, and with the full help of the Origin Partners, it was enough to make the pillar of light that had been destroyed countless times by Raygar disappear.
But this was only the prelude to the test, and the next moment the pillar of light disappeared, countless purple lightning bolts snaked across the sky, like a strange python swooping down on Rhaegar from the sky, and even the dullest person could feel the majestic aura coming from those electric rushes - even a single hit by one of them was enough to wipe out an adult dragon.
Dots of colorful light floated around Rhaegar like a group of dancing spirits, moving lightly through the air, forming several symbols of various shapes and sizes just before the first lightning bolts arrived. Each lightning bolt was blocked by the slightest hint of lightning, and every time one of them dissipated due to excessive energy consumption, another symbol formed to fill its place, and after a few minutes, when the last symbol disappeared along with the lightning that struck it, a significant portion of the black clouds in the sky had disappeared.
Concentrated on the test, Rhaegar didn't notice that in the distance, beyond the black cloud, several undead who clearly belonged to different races were quietly staring at Rhaeggar's location, waiting for the test to end.
In the undead world, it is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous thing to accept the promotion test - not that the test here is more difficult than other places, in fact, due to the special environment here, the power of the promotion test is much smaller than that of other spaces, which is why Rhaegar chose to accept the test here, and the undead world itself is the real danger. In this world, there are three ways for the undead to gain great power: through their own hard practice, they can get the inheritance or gift of some great undead under some coincidence, and devour some powerful beings themselves. The last method is undoubtedly the easiest and the most difficult to achieve, but it is possible when the powerful beings are put to the test: due to the consumption of a large amount of 'essence' power, the undead will be weakened for a long time, and even a low-level undead can devour them at this time, which is a delicious meal for all creatures in the undead realm.
The spirits of the dead waiting at the edge of the dark clouds are the diners who are ready to enjoy this delicious meal. The anomalous celestial phenomena of the promotion test were enough to alarm all the undead creatures within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers, and no one wanted to miss such an opportunity, and countless undead had already engaged in countless bloody battles long before approaching here. As the last winners to reach their destination, all the beings who can stand here are at the pinnacle of the undead realm, and in the absence of all competitors, according to the custom of the undead realm, these undead have tacitly put aside the controversy for the time being.
One after another the qualification tests fell from the sky without interruption, but whether it was a hurricane that was enough to tear through space, or a fire that burned everything, or the cold that frozen everything, they could not shake Lei Jia in the slightest, and after an hour, the black clouds finally dispersed helplessly.
It was time for all the undead standing in different directions at the edge of the black cloud to act, and a huge bone dragon, a zombie covered in black scales, a skeleton with a glittering skelet, and a lich wrapped in a black robe and holding a black scepter, walked towards Rhaegar at the same moment. Everyone's pace is calm and not in a hurry to move forward - in the undead world, every being who is tested will be laid out layer after layer of protection and traps beforehand, and anyone who dares to break in will be relentlessly attacked, and no one wants to take these attacks first and consume their own strength, and then let competitors take advantage of them.
Rhaegar sat cross-legged in the middle of the magic circle he had drawn in advance, aware of everything that was happening in the outside world. In fact, long before he was tested, he had already anticipated the possible situation, and the magic array was prepared for these situations, but when he found the four undead who had arrived here, a trace of worry still surfaced in his heart.
But worry doesn't solve the problem, and after being tested, it will take him at least two days to regain his full strength, and until then, any undead who comes here can easily manipulate him, and there is nothing he can do about it.
- Not completely powerless, sensing the four high-level undead slowly but unstoppably breaking through the protections they had set up, before entering the deep meditation, Rhaegar used his remaining strength to do one last thing: under his '' control, all the magic arrays arranged on the periphery turned into points of light and rose into the air, and then converged on the last magic array around him.
