Chapter 22: Out of Control

Duzi's brain was filled with shock, and the knowledge he had gained in the temple was not explained by a game, but more like something like the rules of nature. In that moment, he felt the lack of existing human knowledge, to the point where he could not put those rules into words.

"If the Roland people knew how to use these runes, they would not be able to be defeated by a mere jailer. That said, there is a good chance that the sculptures came from elsewhere. If only I could learn more...... "Duqi greedily examined each sculpture, but none of them resonated with him. "Is it the so-called aptitude and talent? Or is it the need for a point of convergence like the Frost Flow Swordsmanship? Here are the few explanations he can think of.

Since no more information could be found, Duzi could only speculate from the existing knowledge. He knew very little information, mostly from the few textual explanations provided in the rune catalog.

In the upper right corner of the table of contents window, there is a line of small red text that reads as follows.

"Dance and blood, that's the most primitive sacrifice. Mysterious spirits are born out of all things, and they live and die with fanatical spirits. Faith is the cornerstone of heaven, and when the sublime beings emerge from their cocoons, they will become immortal. ”

This was a passage that puzzled Du Qi, and he could only guess that the runes seemed to be related to faith.

In addition, the two runes that Du Qi comprehended also had a brief introduction under them.

"Rune-Butterfly: In late autumn, everything withers and scatters like a butterfly dance. People weave colorful butterflies with withered grass and sacrifice. ”

"Rune-crystal: Amethyst is wealth, ice crystal is death, and the blade is not as sharp as a spar. People carved skulls in crystal for sacrifice. ”

When he saw the word sacrifice, the first thing that came to Duqi's mind was the gods. This was not the first time he had heard the concept of gods, and when he first came to this world, he had already deeply experienced the influence of the temple. So, does this mean that the gods are real in this world? It's just that they may exist in a way that is incomprehensible to humans. As described in the catalogue, they are a wonderful being born of spirit and faith.

Finally, one of the attributes of Duzi's skill has also changed slightly.

"Frostblade Flow Swordsmanship-?? : You have already stepped into the threshold of entry, but you don't know the essentials of swordsmanship. ”

"Divine Language-Cold: Crystal Like a Butterfly Dance is for Cold."

At this last point, the word related to the god appeared again, but it was difficult for Duqi to deduce more from it, so he could only put away his curiosity and prepare to leave the temple. It was getting late, but his spirits were still high, and he couldn't wait to get a jailer, knowing that it wasn't a wise move, but he needed a chance to experiment with his newfound abilities.

After exiting the temple, the street stretches out to the east and west. According to the map in his memory, both roads were passable, and in the spirit of the idea of the left and the right of the woman, Duqi chose the left road.

For a monster like a jailer, Duqi still has a very shallow understanding. Perhaps they also have a habit of resting at night, when there are significantly fewer individuals wandering the streets during the day.

With the cover of night, Dozi's movements became much more comfortable. After dodging several teams of monsters in a row, a lone jailer appeared in his field of vision. Until this point, Du Qi could no longer suppress the urge in his heart to let this monster be his touchstone. This time, a quick resolution of the battle should not cause trouble. He convinced himself.

The goal of this battle is to test new abilities, and Du Qi naturally won't hide it. The use of runes is different from other skills, it is just a thought, and there are no other inexplicable limitations. This time, Du Qi was no longer immersed in his feelings, and he clearly felt an almost transparent energy gushing out of his body, which seemed to be located above his abdomen. After the energy left his body, it quickly turned into several four runes that hung in the air, and then entangled and combined together, attaching to the surface of his sword and shield in a new pattern.

Dozi jumped out of the bushes where he was hiding, and with a casual swing of his hand, his sword slashing easily across the jailer's back, leaving a trail of frozen blood. The jailer turned angrily, clawing at the dastardly sneak attacker. Undeterred, Duqi raised his shield to block the enemy's successive attacks, and the chill emitted by the shield had caused many ice crystals to form on the jailer's body.

Compared to the defense of up to level 3, the Jailer's resistance is only level 1, while Duqi's magic attribute is increased to level 2 at once after comprehending the rune. Therefore, the Divine Language, Han, attached to the weapons and shields, was clearly a threat to the jailers.

"I'm afraid it feels like these runes are draining my energy." Duzi's perception became sharper than ever, and he quickly sensed a sudden feeling of mental and physical exhaustion, which would not affect him for a while, but it could not last long.

Thinking of this, Du Qi suddenly put away his playful mentality, and the movements of his subordinates sped up a lot.

"Roaring ......"

A furious roar suddenly rang out in the streets one level higher.

Du Qi's heart trembled violently, and the voice was very familiar to him, it was from the negative Xuan he had fought not long ago. Compared to the monster, the roar was more manic and powerful.

"Escape ......"

Du Qi knew that Negative Xuan's abrupt roar should have nothing to do with him, but the word still popped up in his mind.

But at this moment, the jailer, who was already covered with scars all over his body, roared excitedly, as if he had been injected with some kind of hormone, and both his speed and strength were instantly improved.

And Du Qi also clearly felt that an inexplicable power seemed to rise from within his body.

The sound of violent collisions and the collapse of buildings continued to be heard. In the distance, a group of jailers roared towards the governor. Behind them was an unusually large negative mystery, with many small pieces of light blue spars attached to its body, the shape was very similar to the fragments of the sky, and even the black mine on its back seemed to have undergone a certain degree of transformation.

Negative Xuan roared, knocking down the jailer in front of him, and his big foot crushed them mercilessly.

It's a monster out of control.

At this time, Du Qi finally managed to get rid of the extremely excited jailer, but measuring the distance between the two sides, he had lost the opportunity to escape. But what's even more bizarre is that Du Qi didn't have the slightest idea of wanting to run away in his heart, and an inexplicable sense of excitement filled his entire brain, clamoring to fight to the death with the monster in front of him.

He roared angrily and raised his shield and rushed towards Negative Xuan.

The two disparate figures collided, and the incomparable power came from above the shield, and the wrestling between Du Qi and Negative Xuan undoubtedly ended in complete defeat. Under the effect of strong force, Du Qi flew upside down for more than ten meters, and finally hit the wall hard, slumping on the ground and almost unable to get up.

Duzi sensed that he might have broken several ribs.

But even so, he still had no idea of running away. Completely unable to comprehend his actions, he raised his sword alof, shouted "Honor to Die", and stood up again with the bonus of the Berserk attribute.

Negative Xuan's huge figure had already appeared in front of him.

The next moment, Du Qi's eyes went black, and he lost consciousness forever.
