Chapter 52: Where the Leaves Fly (Part II)
The atmosphere dropped to freezing in an instant. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The elves who looked at each other had a panicked look in their eyes, and they were so surprised by this unexpected thing that they didn't even know what to do now.
The warriors of the Wind Chaser Forest behind them were still fighting the ogres for this rare opportunity, and the whole counterattack instantly turned into a cruel joke.
Loren, who was stunned in place, pursed his lips, his left hand trembled slightly, and his black pupils continued to contract back and forth.
He'd just tried, and he couldn't use the magic anymore - everything was fine, but he couldn't even use a small "firefly spell"!
"What are you doing there?!"
Seeing that Loren and Luca were both stunned, the female elf immediately shouted: "Since the counterattack has failed, then quickly notify the elves in the Wind Forest to retreat, do you want them to continue to sacrifice in vain?!"
"Yes, retreat, we must retreat as soon as possible......"
A panicked Lukka muttered to himself, and the leader of the Wardancers lost his mind in a state of astonishment - more than two hundred elven warriors were still buying time for them, if they didn't retreat......
"Waitββ!!!!!"
The black-haired wizard suddenly stood up and roared out hoarsely: "The battle is not over yet, are you going to admit defeat now?!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" the female elf grabbed him by the collar and looked even more excited than Loren: "The counterattack is over, but you came to tell us how to set the whole trunk on fire?!"
There was an atmosphere of despair around him, and there was an indescribable unwillingness, and Leah even wrote her anger on her face - the flames ignited by ordinary means without the ignition agent were not enough to burn the entire tree!
"The trunk will be handed over to me!" Roughly breaking away Leya's right hand, Loren, who turned his back to her, said in a resolute voice: "You go to support the elves of the Wind Chaser Forest as soon as possible, and buy me time!"
"Why should we obey you......
"There's no time left!" Loren interrupted the female elf with a roar, his dark eyes glaring at her, "This is your last chance, you don't have a second chance to counterattack!"
"Hear me, you don't have a second chance!"
"Do you want to take back the big tree wall?!Do you want to win against these brutes? What are you going to do, bet on me and believe me once, and then go and dieββ!!!!"
"You ......" The female elf instinctively took a step back, her expression was a little inexplicably afraid, this was the first time Loren had spoken to her in a "command" tone.
"Your Excellency Loren is right, the counteroffensive is not over yet, we still have to lose!"
Lukka pressed her shoulder from behind, staring at the Morning Star Forest Elf behind him with a resolute gaze, and the silver tip of the spear was raised high:
"Recapture the ββ! of the Great Tree Wall"
"Reclaim the Great Tree Wall ββ!!!!!"
The elves of the Morning Star Forest, who had found their target, also shouted desperately, brandished the spears in their hands, and followed Lukka towards the battlefield not far away.
Leah, who was stationed in the same place, glanced at Loren, who was still facing away from her, and gritted her teeth hatefully: "If you dare to lie to us this time, even if you die, I won't let you go!"
Gently raising the corners of his mouth, the black-haired wizard who remained in place could only hear the footsteps of the other party fading away.
When he was alone, Asrael appeared beside him as if he was late, with that reserved smile on his face.
"Huh?"
The young man's smile froze, the blade of the dagger pressed against the slender and fragile neck, and Loren, who was holding the hilt of the sword, looked colder than the dagger: "I have to warn you, dear Asrael, that I am very impatient right now!"
"So whatever you plan to explain all this, try to be as simple as possible, and try not to forget anythingβor I'll be buried with you before I die!"
"What do you mean by that......" Before the young man finished speaking, there was already a red mark on his pale skin.
"I remember that some people associate themselves with my spiritual temple, right?" a sneer appeared on the corner of Loren's mouth: "I don't know if I can really do it, but if I turn myself into a fool, you won't be unscathed!"
A cold light flashed in the scarlet pupils, and the smile remained on the young man's delicate cheeks: "...... No small progress, my dear friend. β
"Can you please start explaining now?" Loren withdrew his dagger, "Why can't I use spells, and I can't even use low-grade alchemy items like igniters?"
β...... Actually, you should be familiar with this kind of situation. The young man tilted his head, and the corners of his mouth slightly hooked up a hint of playfulness: "I'm sure dear Loren Turin, you shouldn't be so forgetful that you can't even remember our first meeting, right?"
"First time meeting...... Loren raised his eyebrows, "Are you saying that this place, like your cellar, has been completely eroded by the power of the Void?"
"It's closer to that, but it's a little more special than that. The young man shook his head regretfully: "The power of the void is an unspeakable existence, but there are still traces to follow. β
"In simple terms, it's like a projection of fantasy. You know, the mighty Void can distort reality and even mutate original creatures. On the other hand, in the residual environment of such a powerful force, it is impossible for a slightly inferior force to have more influence here. β
Loren understood - it was like poison, and when you drank a potion that was strong enough to break your heart, then ordinary poisons would have no effect on you.
"So...... There has been an extremely powerful Void Force reaction here?" Loren asked inadvertently, "What kind of guy can do this?"
"Enough to threaten both of us at the same time. Asrael replied vaguely, "So dear Loren, you should be able to understand. How terrible is that 'guy' power, we must destroy it!"
"Until then, we have to settle the immediate problems. Loren, holding his wand, looked down the cliff, and in the distance between the mountains and forests, he could already see the dots of ogres gathering.
"If we don't burn the trunks, we're all going to die here!"
"It's not hard for you to do that, Loren. The boy said in a very relaxed tone, "As long as you perfect the 'Turin Fire', it may not be enough to destroy it completely, but you can definitely do it if you destroy part of it and make it impassable." β
"And the only limit is that the remnants of the surrounding void power are too strong, far beyond what you can reach. In other words, if you can distort the space around you, it's no longer a problem. β
"You can even gain even more power, powerful enough to destroy the entire trunk in an instant, even if the power is only temporary. β
"Let me guess, your method must be expensive, right?" The black-haired wizard's eyes narrowed slightly: "It's better to make it clear first, how much does it cost me?"
"Quite simply, you have to enter your subconscious dreams and overlap your spiritual temple with my consciousness to be able to counter the remnants of this void power. β
Asriel paused suddenly, his tone a little hesitant: "But it's very dangerous to do this, even more dangerous than the last time - in order to break the remnants of the void power around you, this time you have to go deeper, and I can't fully protect you anymore!"
"You have to be strong enough to have a strong obsession and reason to ensure that you don't get lost. The boy's expression was not very good-looking: "With all due respect, although I believe in you very much, but ......"
"If we don't, we'll all die here today. So what else is there to hesitate?!"
Interrupting the boy's words, he lay his wand sideways in front of him, and Loren, who knelt on his knees, straightened his waist and closed his eyes resolutely.
"Sink into the abyss of sleep, immersed in endless visions. Asriel stood in front of Loren and whispered as he put his right hand on his forehead:
"The will of eternal sleep will guide your path......"
In the blink of an eye, Asriel's figure enveloped Loren like a dark fog, and then disappeared without a trace.
