Chapter 152: The Wrong Way
"Boom ......"
Countless pieces of rubble rained down from the top of the tunnel, and Loren, holding the little wizard in his arms, could only run wildly while desperately dodging with the enhanced perception of "Beyond Perception".
But as if he was joking with him on purpose, every time he took a step, the crack would appear "steadily" where he would land next time;
Or directly before he jumps up, blow up the rock wall he used to borrow power - this is simply a "pursuit" that can't be avoided even if he wants to, 360 degrees without dead ends.
"Bang!"
There was another loud bang, and the rock wall above his head shattered, and several boulders fell in his path one after another, like triggered mechanisms.
The black-haired wizard gritted his teeth, and with one free left hand, he pulled out the bright silver behind his waist - the sword ray, which bloomed in the pitch-black tunnel.
Gray-blue light and shadow flashed, and several boulders were exploded into four equal parts in turn, spreading out to the surroundings.
There was a sound of the tunnel collapsing behind him, and Loren, who didn't even have time to turn back, continued to run forward regardless of it, avoiding falling rubble as much as possible while ensuring that he would not land for more than a second each time.
Because it only takes more than a second, the rock will be "overwhelmed" and shatter, directly dragging the two people into the darkness of unknown places.
Well... Why does it look so familiar, and it's full of dΓ©jΓ vu?
Because Loren, who gritted his teeth, thought the same way - he now felt like the pixel man in some "side-scrolling game", frantically stepping on the grid to make sure he didn't "chirp!" and then fall vertically.
The only difference is that when the pixel person falls, at most it will pop up a "you're dead", and if he falls, he may be really dead.
So he had to run harder than the pixel man on the game interface!
"Boom!"
The sound of the rubble exploding came from overhead, and almost at the same time, Loren could clearly feel that the ground under his feet had become more "fragile" than before, and he felt like it was about to collapse when he stepped on it slightly.
In other words, in the next second, he was either stoned to death, or fell to his death.
"Bang ββ!"
There was no room for him to choose, and the ground under his feet was the first to crack, and the cracked marks like spider webs actually started from under his feet and cracked around.
Damn it......
And the end?!
Is this ghostly "path of trials" really "tested" for a group of ten-year-old de Salion royals, as Brandon said?!
The black-haired wizard gritted his teeth and used the last moment of the crumbling rocks at his feet, and leaped up with the little wizard in one hand, and three rocks appeared almost simultaneously in front of him and above his head.
But in the next second, Ain, who was in his arms, suddenly got up and stepped on his shoulder with one foot before Loren could react.
"Loren, hold on to me!"
As the words fell, the little wizard who jumped up took out a short bow out of nowhere, and in a tricky way, three more arrows appeared in his right hand.
"Bang, bang, bangββ!"
The invisible shadow of the arrow whizzed by, and the three boulders were shattered in the air one after another.
In the next second, the two of them fell into the darkness like free fall.
"Bell ββ!"
At the last moment, "Bright Silver" pinned a rock wall that had not yet shattered, and the black-haired wizard hurriedly grabbed Ain's wrist, which was still falling.
"Let's go!"
Holding the hand of the little wizard, Loren, who let out a low roar, didn't even think about it, climbed the rock wall and continued to move forward.
........................
At the same time, on this "path of trial", there are two other figures who are also running for their lives......
"Did I say how the hell are you?!"
Wielding two short swords with both hands, Lusen, who was running wildly with Isaac on his back, had also begun to gasp, but he never dared to stop for a moment under his feet and in his hands.
But that's it, he still didn't forget to pull his throat behind him: "Haven't you figured it out yet, how are you going to get out of this hellish place?!"
"I need time!"
Isaac, who was tightly "wrapped" around the back of the gray-eyed boy, was so nervous that his whole body tensed, and he also shouted hysterically: "I said, this is the area that has been completely assimilated by a certain guy with his own void power, not that you can see it clearly!"
"Don't say something I don't understand!"
Lusen, who gritted his teeth, almost tried his best to avoid the gravel that "fell from the sky", but the figure of a person on his back was as flexible as a swallow, "floating" to the next foothold.
Before he could stand firmly, the ground under his feet had already "grabbed" and cracked in front of him!
Isaac's frightened scream came from the back of his head, and the gray-eyed boy with a burst of tinnitus still forced his composure, and the "Dragon Knight Spear Tip" in his right hand smashed the rock wall on his side, creating a place for himself to borrow strength, and finally did not fall.
"How much more time do you need?!"
"How can this be based on me?" Even though he was already trembling with fear, Isaac still didn't forget to retort to him: "Shouldn't it be calculated according to how much time you can hold on?!"
"Then I'll tell you, I don't have much time left!"
"What?!"
Isaac shuddered.
"That's why I asked, how much more time do you need to figure out this hellish place!" The panting gray-eyed boy used the power brought by the "Evil God Mark" to flash left and right in the tunnel of "continuous collapse", struggling to persevere.
Is... If your "way of the samurai" has been completed, this kind of ghost place will not be ...... at all
Shh
Gently spitting, Lusen reflexively landed on the ground amid Isaac's exclamation behind him, and the short sword in his left hand lightly touched the ground and jumped up again.
The roar continued, and the pitch-black tunnel seemed to leave them behind, and the speed of the "collapse" was already faster than the speed at which the two of them could flee for their lives.
I don't even know where to flee!
"Time is pressing, I'll give you a rough explanation!" "Holding the gray-eyed boy's neck, Isaac couldn't even open his eyes in the wind:
"To put it simply, the place we are in now is an area of an almost void world, where time and space are meaningless - whether it is the stone above your head, the dirt under your feet, or even yourself, you may just be spinning on a plane!"
"No matter how long we run, time doesn't pass for a moment, and if certain conditions are met, we can even collide with ourselves one second or the next, which is also possible!"
"So it's like we're spinning around somebody's head, and all of what we're going through can be just a split second of his thoughts and thoughts β none of that will change until he thinks of the next 'idea'. β
"So how do you get out of here... That's a good question!"
Facing the wind blowing over and over his face, Isaac continued to muttered to himself: "There are two ways, the first is that the owner of this assimilation space stops 'thinking' by himself, but basically don't think about it!"
"So we can only use the second way, and that is to find the flaw in this 'idea' - as long as it is a theory, there must be a loophole, there must be a flaw, and if we find it, we can leave!"
"And as far as I've observed, although the assimilation space in this tunnel is indeed perfect, it still can't compare to the Dragon King's Tower, and its biggest flaw is... Oops, what are you doing?!"
The blade of the dagger swung against the tip of his nose, and a panicked Isaac quickly lowered his head, and before he could dodge, he heard the sound of metal and rock colliding directly above his head.
"Don't!say!I!don't understand!!
Lusen, who gritted his teeth, smashed the gravel that almost killed Isaac at the last moment, landed firmly on his feet, and continued to run forward.
Right now......
"Boom ββββββ!!!!"
A sudden explosion sounded, but not behind them, not overhead, not under their feet.
The voice sounded so close that it sounded like it was ringing right in their ears.
What's even more strange is that after this explosion, the tunnel that was originally "collapsing continuously" gradually became stable, and the ground under his feet no longer showed any signs of cracking and collapsing.
What's going on?
The panting Lusen instinctively slowed down gradually, but still looked around vigilantly: "We... Did you escape?"
"Escape? Of course not!" Isaac, trembling, shook his head desperately, "Look at the cracked ground behind himβwe're still in this damn assimilation space, and maybe even spin in place!"
"It's just... It seemed to be temporarily caught in the middle of something. β
"Containment?"
"yes, it's like... Well, it's like when you're thinking about something, you can do multitask, but when something happens, it takes up most of your attention. β
Isaac, who frowned, "explained" as much as he could: "The assimilation space is the same, if it is touched by other forces or accidentally, it will immediately occupy most of its power, and it will be temporarily 'no time' to care about us." β
"Well, this void reaction feels familiar, it seems... Loren?"
"Lord Loren?!"
Lusen's eyes lit up: "He found a way to crack it?!"
A smile of surprise appeared on the face of the gray-eyed boy.
Sure enough, Lord Loren is still alive... Just like when he was in Silverhelm Mountain and Dragon King City, he always found a way to tear a hole out of his desperate situation.
In the dark tunnel, a pleasant atmosphere emerged between the two of them - after all, in such a dark place, there was nothing happier than knowing that a friend was alive and that he was safe.
"yes, he's like... Well, wait a minute!"
Isaac's face changed suddenly, as if he sensed something terrible, and then crawled onto his back again at a speed that even Lusen couldn't react to, hugging his neck tightly and refusing to let go.
"Run, run!"
"Run, but you don't mean ......?"
The stunned gray-eyed boy was still immersed in the "good news" just now, and looked at him in confusion.
"yes, I mean this guy found a way to crack it. Isaac, with his eyes closed, shouted like a frightened rabbit, "But it's the least way to go!"
"If we don't run, we'll all be buried here alive!"
................................................
Tightly tugging at the little wizard who was already out of breath, Loren gritted his teeth and ran wildly, falling into deep thought.
Assimilation space, in the final analysis, is the result of someone's "consciousness" invading the material world and transforming according to a certain idea - this process is basically the same as the process of the arrival of evil gods, blood sacrifices and dream worlds, but the process is more complicated.
That being the case, then it must follow the most basic principle of the power of the Void, the law of the jungle - the powerful power of the Void can overwhelm the weak, or even take its power for its own use.
On the other hand, a weak force can't even react in the face of too powerful void power, and even a small low-level spell or alchemy weapon can't exert its due effect.
Therefore, just like the last time he fought against Middel's "state of mind", as long as he opened the "dream world" in a small area, he could cancel out the power of the assimilation space, or at least cancel each other.
"Ain, hold on to me!" shouted the dark-haired wizard with a sudden change in complexion, behind him:
"Next, there can be some bumps. β
"Huh?"
The little wizard who didn't react was stunned, but he still instinctively clenched Loren's wrist.
In the next second, a wave of void power, mixed with a biting cold, expanded around Loren as the center.
"Bang ββββ!"
The ground beneath his feet no longer trembled, and the collapsed tunnel gradually stopped, as if everything had returned to calm.
But when the little wizard looked up again, he saw not the rock wall in the tunnel, but the endless night sky.
There is also a round hanging in the night sky, burning black sun!
Looking around, the familiar tower was behind him, and the dilapidated Inner Fort Hall was in front of himβthe Wimpal Academy, whose memories were almost blurred, reappeared in front of Ain in this way.
That'sβthat's ......
Loren's dream world?
This is the landscape in the depths of his consciousness, the most memorable, and can never be erased?
The expression of the little wizard suddenly became much more complicated.
"Boom!"
But in the next second, the whole world began to shake again.
The towers were shaking, the castle was shaking, and the flat ground beneath their feet was showing large swaths of cracks like spider webs, and they continued to spread around.
Dust was everywhere, and the earth and rocks were cracked.
"Ain!"
The black-haired wizard's shout woke up the little wizard who was still in a trance, and the force of her right hand involuntarily made her take a step forward.
Almost as soon as she lifted her foot, the ground she had just stepped on had sunk in.
"Loren?!"
"It's okay!" the black-haired wizard who took a deep breath continued to shout, dragging Ain's right hand in the direction of the hall of Wimpal Castle:
"Trust me, it's going to be fine!"
You want revenge, you want to vent your anger in this way, don't you?
Okay, then just come and let you see......
Let's see if your "assimilation space" will be as you wish when I smash it to pieces!
