Chapter 169: Ancient Magic: Invincible
"Wake up."
"Energized."
"Connect."
"Balance."
"Manifest!"
Lilith pointed to the patterns on the ground and said the names of the corresponding runes one by one.
Rosen controlled his mutated alchemy magic in the order she said, touching the Manoin Ancient Runes on the surface of the black sesame seeds in his hand one by one.
He could clearly see that every time he touched the corresponding patterns, they would become bright, and after a few seconds, they would begin to flicker and flicker again, as if waiting for something.
When Lawson touched the rune 'Manifest', for a moment, all the runes that were lit up on the surface of the black sesame stopped flickering, and after three or four seconds, cracks began to appear on the surface of the entire black sesame seed.
There were more and more cracks, and there was a very special silver glow that continued to shine through the cracks.
"It worked!" Rosen exclaimed.
Lilith breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "The power of Mano's ancient runes is biased towards defense and recovery. This rune creation has a universal activation method, as long as you touch the runes in a certain order, you can reveal the magic structure inside the rune creation....... Look, there is! ”
In Lawson's palm, the black sesame seeds disappeared and turned into a silver ball of light about 20 centimeters in diameter.
The surface of the ball of light was shrouded in a layer of pale silver light like bubbles, and there was a circle of two Manoin runes circulating on the film, one horizontal and one vertical, looking like two rune chains. Inside the photosphere is an incomparably complex light structure, crisscrossed by silver light, and in two places there are two small light balls that resemble the vortex of the stars of the Milky Way, and countless silver rays are connected around the light ball, which should be the pivotal structure in the black sesame seeds.
In short, the internal structure is too complicated, Rosen has never touched this kind of thing before, he squinted and looked at it for a long time, but he still had no clue.
Lilith seemed to understand, her eyes lit up, and her expression was fascinated: "Ah~~~ What a beautiful and delicate magical structure, tsk, the wisdom of the ancient ancestors is really lofty." ”
When Lawson heard this, hope was born in his heart, and he hurriedly asked, "Lilith, can you see what it does?" ”
Without thinking about it, Lilith shook her head very dryly: "I don't know, I've never seen anything like it, I don't understand it at all." ”
"......." Rosen couldn't help but roll his eyes, since he didn't know, what kind of praise was there, what a waste of feelings.
Lilith added: "However, since this is a magical structure, according to the general axiom of magic, if the user's magic power can trigger the corresponding rune, then the user only needs to control the magic power to simulate and reconstruct the structure, and then similar power can be obtained." ”
"Rebuild with magic?"
Rosen glanced at the incomparably fine ball of light, and shook his head again and again: "How can such a complex and precise structure be simulated?" I can't do it, why don't you come? ”
The human brain is not a computer, and the amount of information contained in the photosphere has obviously exceeded the maximum 'memory' of the human brain, at least beyond Rosen's limit.
Lilith looked embarrassed: "I can't do it either." In my opinion, this magic structure should also be nine-star magic. I'm only a 4-star mage now, and I'm far from it. ”
Well, neither of them had anything but to stare at the light and shadow in the air.
Rosen is an idle character, in a daze and in a daze, but his brain is still spinning, and after a few minutes of silence, he suddenly said: "This magic is really a bit complicated, but judging from the function of the black sesame seeds, this magic structure obviously contains more than one magic ......."
Lilith understood it at once, and she immediately continued: "So, we don't have to simulate all the structures, perhaps, just a part of them, we can get the power we want." ”
They only need a power that can shield them from radiation at the moment, and there is no need to contract the entire fish pond just because they want to eat fish.
"Smack~"
Rosen snapped his fingers and smiled, "That's it!" ”
He looked at Lilith and saw a hint of tiredness on her face, so he said, "If you are tired, you can rest first." Leave this to me, and if there is a result, I will tell you. ”
Lilith nodded in agreement, "Then I'll sleep for a while." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Rosen heard a 'coo~' belly sound coming from the quilt, and then looked at Lilith, he saw that her face was flushed, and she whispered: "I'm a little hungry." ”
Counting up, about seven or eight hours have passed since the two of them entered the underground passage. In seven or eight hours, he hadn't touched anything he had eaten or drunk, and Lawson, who had an undead physique, naturally had no problem at all, but with Lilith's current body, he must be thirsty and hungry.
But the problem is that the two of them retreated too quickly in the basement before, and they didn't bring anything to eat. However, they didn't know when they would be able to leave the dungeon, and it was not a good idea to be hungry all the time, especially Lilith, who would starve to death if she starved for a few more days.
"What to do? What to do? Rosen pondered, his eyes looking around, as if trying to get some food out of the cracks in the rocks.
After looking at it for a while, Rosen's eyes suddenly fixed on the corpse of the little monster not far away.
"The monster's body structure is similar to that of a human, and the muscles also contain a lot of protein, and more than 70% of the body is water...... What am I thinking?! ”
Anyway, the corpse of the little monster is food, especially in such a predicament, Rosen has no choice at all.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he finally walked to the corpse of the little monster, his mind condensed slightly, and a drop of water seeped out of the skin of the little monster, flew into the air, and condensed into a fist-sized ball of water.
Most of this water comes from the blood in the little monster's body.
Then, Lawson controlled the water balloon to fly to Lilith's mouth, and said apologetically: "The water is clean, it is the source....."
"I don't mind."
Lilith drank it, she was really thirsty, in fact, as Rosen said, the water was very clean, without a trace of peculiar smell, and when it came to her mouth, it was very sweet.
Lawson was not idle, he adjusted his body position, covered Lilith's vision, and quietly took out the dagger and cut a piece of meat from the thigh of the little monster corpse.
For ordinary people, the meat of monsters is poisonous, and of course this meat cannot be eaten directly.
Rosen activated the alchemy magic again, breaking the protein contained in this piece of meat into various amino acids, the polymer polysaccharides into glucose, and the fat contained in it into glycerin, as for other impurities, he eliminated them one by one.
After a few minutes, the meat was a nutrient solution with a large amount of amino acids, grapes, and glycerin.
Rosen brought the solution to Lilith's mouth: "Eat it, it's safe and non-toxic." ”
Lilith could naturally guess Rosen's actions, but she didn't see the specific process with her own eyes, and the nausea in her heart was much less, coupled with the unbearable hunger, she endured the nausea and began to suck the solution mass.
After taking a sip, the expected peculiar smell did not appear, but was very sweet.
"It's probably the most disgusting food I've ever eaten, but it tastes good." Lilith smiled wryly.
During the war, people often heard of cannibalism, and at this time, it was for survival needs, and it was not a living person, but a monster, although she felt disgusting, but it was not difficult to accept.
Lawson also felt a little hungry, he didn't care about nausea, extracted nutrients again, and also ate, after a few bites, he sighed: "I didn't expect that I actually ate monsters." ”
While he was talking, the night demon Aisha lying on the ground just woke up, and as soon as she regained consciousness, she heard Lawson say this, and she felt her brain 'buzz~', and she was scared and fainted again.
Soon, the two were well fed and drunk.
Lilith felt a wave of sleepiness hit her, and she wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, leaned her back against the stone wall, and fell asleep peacefully.
Lawson rested for a moment, then walked over to the ball of light and began to try to simulate some of the structures in the orb.
However, the structure inside the light sphere was too complicated, and Lawson looked at it for half an hour, but he still had no clue, and the structure simulated with his magic power had no effect at all.
It's like looking for a needle in a haystack, and the chances of success are too low....... What to do....... Wait, there you have it! ’
Rosen saw Aisha, the Daredevil lying on the ground.
Before, his alchemy magic could not detect the operation of the black sesame seeds, so he was busy for a long time, and basically did all his work in vain, but now, his magic power has mutated and he has a pair of usable 'eyes'.
'Miss Aisha, I'm sorry, I have to do it again. ’
Lawson drew his dagger, walked over to Daredevil Aisha, and began to study the details of how the black sesame seeds worked.
This time the situation was very different.
With his previous experience and the detection of new magic power, Lawson was able to do more with less, but in just half an hour, he discovered the key to the effect of black sesame.
It's a force, a very peculiar force. Some of them are like gravity, because they can interact with almost all existence, electromagnetic waves, matter, as long as they exist in space, they can act. But unlike gravity, it is very strong, at the same scale, more than a dozen orders of magnitude higher than gravity. ’
The exact way in which this force is generated is unknown, but it originates from a swirl of light in black sesame seeds. So, I needed to simulate the structure, so I narrowed it down to a swirl of light. ’
That's a nearly 10-fold reduction in effort.
Once again, gluing the wounds on the dying Daredevil's body together, Lawson began to concentrate on the swirls of light in the black sesame seeds.
There are two swirls in black sesame seeds, and Rosen has determined their functions separately.
One vortex produces a strange force, while the other contains the monster's DNA information. Different monsters, such as Daredevil and small monsters, have exactly the same internal structure of Black Sesame Seeds, the only difference is the DNA information stored inside.
Rosen was not interested in DNA information, he only focused on the vortex of light that produced strange forces.
For the rest of the day, he observed and simulated with magic.
The structure of the swirls of light is still quite complex and sophisticated, and Lawson tries his best to simulate it, but he still inevitably makes mistakes, either here or there.
He had to adjust little by little.
After more than five hours, when Lawson completed the magic simulation for the 900th time, the air in front of him suddenly flashed with a silver light, which lasted for less than half a second, and then disappeared, as fast as an illusion.
The point where this glimmer of brilliance appeared was in the vortex of Lawson's magic power, and the color of the brilliance was the same as that of a ball of light.
'Did it really work?!' ’
God knows, Rosen was on the verge of giving up.
Although Lilith's axiom of magic is solemn, this axiom is extremely unrigorously stated, it is simply a summary of experience, and the reason why Rosen has tried it over and over again is more because it is the only thing he can do at the moment.
But why does it work? ’
Rosen had no idea why he had succeeded, and he didn't know how the strange force worked, he simply simulated the structure of the light vortex as accurately as possible.
"I just know what it is, I don't know why. In this case, what is the difference between what I do and the magicians of this world? ”
"Hey~~ I'm really depraved, and I'm so satisfied with this little achievement that I don't want to understand...... However, as things stand, this achievement should be enough for me. ”
He went on to keep improving.
Half an hour later, the silvery glow was already stable.
After another half hour, Rosen successfully controlled the silvery glow by simulating other auxiliary structures in the photosphere.
He continued to work hard.
After 2 hours, Lawson took control of the silver glow, forming a silver sphere around his body.
He found that the sphere was completely shielded from the radiation of radioactive dust.
He also found that as long as he could stabilize his mind and keep his mana structure stable, then, before his energy ran out, the orb would be able to block all types of attacks, even ignoring the strength of the attacks.
However, maintaining this magic requires a lot of energy. Rosen estimates that with his current physical condition, he can maintain the existence of the light orb for a maximum of 10 minutes.
To verify the second point, Lawson shrinks the size of the silver orb, then pulls out the meat grinder musket and fires at the silver shield.
'Poof~' A gunshot rang out.
The musket bullet flew out at high speed, and when the bullet approached a centimeter away from the ball of light, it automatically drew an arc around the ball of light and flew away. During the whole process, the ball of light did not receive the slightest impact, as if the bullet would turn, not because of any force, but simply because the space near the ball of light was bent.
At this point, Rosen let out a long breath: "It worked. ”
The shielding ball of light composed of silver brilliance, and there are two rune chains on the ball of light, one horizontal and one vertical, which are beautiful to look at. Its only drawback is that after activation, others can't attack Lawson, but Lawson can't attack others either, and the two can only stare through the silver light shield.
"This should be the first real magic I cast, it's a shame that I don't know anything about its principle, and the reason why I mastered it is just a shoddy imitation, hey~~~"
Lawson looked at the beautiful silver light shield, sighed, and said, "Let's give you a name." You're so powerful that you can shield me from all attacks...... In that case, let's just call you 'invincible'. ”
