Chapter 33: The Ancestor of the Orcs (2)
Collections are rising, but subscriptions can't keep up.
"Follow them. After all the orcs were gone, Rhaegar returned to the ground and said to Willy, "They will lead us to the right path. ”
Willy nodded silently, and as the crisis passed, the strange feeling returned to her, but before she could take a closer look, Rhaegar had already let go of her hand and walked in the direction where the orcs had disappeared.
Unlike invisibility, which is rendered ineffective by any strenuous activity, camouflage does not make a person disappear into thin air, but no one can distinguish a person who has applied camouflage from their surroundings unless they use magic, and besides, this spell does not restrict the activities of the recipient in the slightest, and in this sense, it is undoubtedly a more practical latent magic than invisibility— At least for Rhaegar and Willy, who were tracking the orcs, with the help of camouflage, they were able to easily follow the orcs and avoid the danger of being led astray by the sheer number of forks in the road.
Just as Willy thought they could follow their target all the way to the final sacrifice site, Rhaegar suddenly stopped, "Stand still and don't move." He commanded the female warrior with a serious expression, and strode forward.
The ground in front of the two of them suddenly squirmed violently as if it were alive, and when they approached Rhaegar, the stone ground quickly rose upward, twisting and changing its form like melted wax, and finally turned into a giant python.
The serpent's entire lower body was integrated with the ground, its large, triangular head hanging low, its glowing red eyes staring condescendingly at the two men who were half its height, and the deadly gas brewing in its mouth, turning any creature that came into contact with it would be turned into lifeless stones.
But it had no chance to emit its own poisonous gas, and Rhaeggar's advancing body suddenly fell forward without warning, and at the same time, a translucent white shadow quietly broke away from his body and shot at the stone python like lightning.
The Python made of magic does not have much intelligence, and it can only act on the fixed instructions that it has been created and entered at the same time, according to which it must destroy all creatures that have trespassed on the resting place of the great orc ancestors, but none of the information it has obtained about the creatures can match the shadow in front of it - as undead, geists have never been considered alive. Looking at the things that were flying towards him, he had never seen before, this giant python was completely overwhelmed, the gray petrified poisonous mist swallowed in his mouth, but did not spray out, this poisonous mist took a long time to brew, and each time it consumed a lot of the magic power that made up it, it had to ensure that every poisonous mist was used in a useful place.
This hesitation eventually led to the destruction of the giant python, and the spirit burrowed into its body in an instant, and quickly invaded its soul sea, and the next moment, the magic core of the soul existence as a magical creature was turned into pieces by the powerful spiritual power, and the giant body of the giant python turned into countless stones of various sizes and fell from the sky.
Strictly speaking, magical creations do not have real souls, and their cores do not have the ability to think for themselves other than providing magic and storing commands, but the attacks of the geyers have proven to be equally effective against this energy nucleus that stores a lot of information.
Before the first stone disintegrated by the python touched the ground, Rhaegar had already returned to his own body, and in the face of the rain of stones falling from the sky, he quickly read a few bytes, and the heavy stones suddenly slowed down the speed of descent as if they were held by an invisible giant hand, and changed direction, and landed lightly away from the two of them, without even making a sound.
The Hand of Mana, a fourth-order magic, can move objects of varying weight according to the mana injected by the caster, and for Rhaegar standing at the peak of the seventh-order mage, this spell can cause him to move things that are several times heavier than in front of him.
"Let's go. Rhaegar felt a little tired from the series of actions - it was not difficult to destroy the python, but it was undoubtedly much more difficult to do so without alarming the orcs in front of him - he said to Willy in a deep voice, and walked in the direction of the orcs without looking back. Even though his friends had accepted him for who he was, it was one thing to hear about it, and quite another to see a geist kill with his own eyes, and he didn't want to see Willy's reaction after seeing his true face.
Willy didn't move immediately, she stood still, as if thinking about something, and after a moment, a determined gaze came through her eyes, and the next moment, the samurai who had made an important decision quickly caught up with Rhaegar in a hurry.
"I want you to know something," Willy's voice broke the silence between the two, she turned her head, looked at Rhaegar, and said in an unquestioning tone, "Whatever you are, whether it's a god or an undead, none of this matters in the eyes of all of us, you are our friend, you are our friend, you are with us, and it is important to be able to give your back to your friend in battle." She grabbed Rhaeggar's right hand, "At all times, I want you to remember, me," she paused for a moment, then continued, "And Heim, they, who will never betray their partners because of their status." ”
Rhaegar didn't speak, just walked silently, but his hand gripped Willy's soft and delicate palm tightly.
That strange feeling appeared in Willy's heart again, but the female warrior did not withdraw her hand, but just let Rhaegar grasp it and rushed to the orc in front.
Despite still not being able to use long-range detection magic, the vast memories inherited from the God of Judgment made Rhaegar a master at tracking, and the traces left by the orcs as they walked through the passage seemed to point him in the direction of the night's lighthouse, and a few hours later, when the two reached a large, closed stone door, Rhaegar knew that they had found the place where the sacrifice was taking place.
"You stay here," Rhaegar whispered to Willy, and without waiting for the other party to object, he preemptively stated his reason for arranging this: "We have no way of knowing what's inside the stone gate, and we can't open the stone door to enter without alarming the orcs, the only way is for me to restore my true form." ”
He paused slightly, and when he saw that Wei Li's demeanor was not unusual, the geist suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, "For a geist, most of the matter in this universe cannot hinder it, I can easily pass through this stone gate without being discovered, but I want you to protect my body during this time." Rhaegar's expression became serious: "If my physical body is seriously damaged, I will never be able to stay in the mortal world again. ”
Rhaegar whispered a spell, and their bodies rose into the air near the top of the passage, where they levitated.
"This magic will guarantee that we won't fall from above for half an hour," Rhaegar said, "and this is also the longest my soul has been out of my body, all you have to do is watch my body here." ”
Willy didn't speak, just nodded silently, but the warrior's eyes had already made her determination clear - no one could hurt a single hair of the geist's body unless they stepped on her corpse.
The translucent shadow silently broke away from the restraints of the body and appeared in mid-air, and the next moment, the geist floated through the heavy obstacle that seemed impenetrable to ordinary people, and came to the other side of the stone gate.
