Chapter Twenty-Nine: Walking in the Light
Seeing that a fountain show where water and fire converged was about to kick off, Mu Yan was also ready for "0/1", and suddenly an ancient and desolate aura came from the statue.
Whether it was the sneering vines, the rising white mist, or Mu Yan's suspicious eyes, they all stood still at this moment, and time seemed to stand still.
With a "bang", the statue exploded completely undisturbed, and a skeleton bathed in light popped out of it.
It is only about 1.5 meters tall, and its body is as white as jade, especially its huge head, which is as shiny as wax.
The skeleton stretched, looked at the white mist still in front of him, raised his bony hand, and snapped his fingers.
However, because there was no flesh on the fingers, the fingers did not ring.
The skeleton seemed a little embarrassed, and the golden soul fire in its pupils flickered.
Then Mu Yan felt that his frozen thoughts seemed to have recovered, and everything in his vision was regressing: the fire that had spread for nearly 100 meters instantly shrank back, and finally converged on the root that was entwining him, and the small light blue flowers that had withered also recovered as before, and shrank into buds at a speed visible to the naked eye. The "Burning Hand", which had been extinguished, also rekindled, and then slowly faded back under his skin, and the amount of blue he had been sucked back up.
It's like someone pressed the rewind button, except for the statue that disappeared after shattering, everything fell back to the moment when the ice chip at Mu Yan's feet disappeared.
He felt his body move again, and looked up at the strange skeleton in disbelief.
The skeleton seemed to be very satisfied with the situation, and with a gentle pull of his hand, the crowd watching the battle on the shore instantly crossed several kilometers away, and was directly dragged over, floating in the air. Judging by the worried expressions on their faces, it should have been at the moment when the explosion was about to begin.
"Ahemβ"
The skeleton let out a loud cough from somewhere, and the voice was crisp and not heavy at all.
Everyone woke up from a dream, but they were afraid of the other party's terrifying aura, and they didn't dare to speak, and even Gustavo stared at him honestly.
"I am the great Lord Paperis."
Although the crisp voice is slightly immature, it reveals an unmistakable majesty, and at the same time, this retro grammar has a sense of desolation and vicissitudes.
"Thou and Thou Mortals ......"
At this point, he suddenly became dumb.
When everyone heard this, they raised their heads and looked at him in amazement.
"Ahemβ"
There was another cough full of majesty, and everyone immediately bowed their heads respectfully.
"Thou shalt be mortal, submit quickly to my prestige, and wait for ......"
This time, everyone learned to be obedient, and still waited with their heads down, waiting for the follow-up of the word "wait".
"Wait... Treat...... Waiting for ......"
Mu Yan couldn't help but glance at it secretly, and found that this guy broke off a piece of tibia from his leg, which was as crisp as breaking corn, and hurriedly glanced at it and quickly settled it back.
Affection this is ...... Forgot the word?
"Wait for me to bring the trials down to you."
After reading the script, the skeleton's lines were read smoothly, and at the same time, the majesty on his body gradually converged.
"Trials? What kind of birds? Gustavo muttered, suddenly throwing a ball of mud over, not knowing where he had rubbed it from.
The black ball of mud carried a strong wind, straight through the skeleton's body, as if it were nothing.
"Hah, I knew that this guy must be an illusion, it was like it didn't exist in my perception, and that Galaze guy couldn't do that. This illusion is very realistic. The patriarch thrust his waist triumphantly, then flew up to the skeleton and looked it up and down.
Mu Yan couldn't help frowning, this was the result of Gustavo's brain...... Right and wrong are still a bit confusing.
The patriarch seemed to figure out what to do, and pouted his ass just against the skeleton's face.
"Let's taste my loud fart, let you pretend to be a ghost and scare Lao Tzu!"
So he pouted his ass and sank into the dantian, intending to expel all the heavy qi from his body, at this moment, the skeleton raised his crystal fingers, and with a flick, Gustavo's five or six hundred pounds of body flew out in a whirl. He is like a high-speed spinning bowling ball, flying from the middle of the lake to the height of the lake and falling half a meter in time, flying away at a great speed.
Seeing this scene, Mu Yan suddenly had a change in his opinion of this skeleton: this is probably a black-bellied guy, who just used a high-speed movement that is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye to create the illusion of a mud ball passing through his body......
"Piper-sama is angry, so he doesn't plan to come as planned, you're all going to be thrown into the labyrinth and starved to death!"
The skeleton that called himself Piper seemed to be enraged, and he raised his hand, and an invisible force restrained everyone including Mu Yan, lifting them high. Not to mention breaking free, everyone can't even open their mouths.
At the same time, the Demon Star Grass, which had been silent under the lake, rose up like a spirit snake coming out of a hole, and a primeval jungle full of vines and plants instantly formed on the surface of the lake.
The elements were continuously drawn from the Demon Star Grass and converged into Piper's body, and the golden soul fire in his pupils spread throughout his body, and the crystal jade skeleton became transparent and glowed with golden light, like a dazzling sun, making it impossible to look at it directly.
A skeleton bathed in the element of light? There is no royal law in this world, and this situation is as absurd as the illogical description of "his closed eyes exude a terrifying divine light" in the novel.
As Piper slowly raised a hand, the gathered majestic energy shot down his body into the air, and was blocked by the canopy of Imotru's sky, scattered and absorbed by its branches and leaves. Then, not long after, the entire windy firmament trembled slightly, as if something that had hatched and matured was breaking through the ground.
After about a minute, the tremor wore off, and Piper's bare body shivered, and then muttered a few words, as if reciting a spell, and as if complaining.
Immediately after that, the white light flashed, and all the people including him disappeared.
Most of the Demon Star Grass that had been washed of the elements withered and scattered in all directions, floating on the surface of the water like dead wood because it had lost its vitality. The few remaining survivors clinged to the bodies of their former companions, digesting the last vestiges of their energy.
At the same time, in the Star Corridor to the west of Imotru and the Wind Cluster to the south, two familiar buildings rose from the ground......
It's really like someone thinks, it grows from the ground.
β¦β¦
In the heart of the tranquil forest, the tranquil lake.
The waves of the lake's blue light swept away, and countless light blue lake spirits flew on the water, playing freely. The soft grass grows around and sways in the wind, making it a quiet and peaceful scene.
At the bottom of the lake, about 400 meters deep, is a space isolated from the flow of water, and countless aquatic plants are woven into a turquoise dome, and a huge white bead is inlaid in the middle, emitting a soft light, illuminating the surroundings, and the feet are dark and moist earth.
Isu was standing in the light, there were two souls floating in front of him, and if you looked closely, you could tell that these were Artes and Mishua, the two of them were in a dark shape, and there seemed to be some cracks on them, and there was a steady stream of water elements gathered around them, mending the cracks little by little, and condensing new flesh by the way.
Suddenly, the earth at the bottom of the lake shook and a green shoot sprouted, and then it grew rapidly, and the wrapped leaves opened, and Lal walked out of it, curled up.
He saw the cracks on the two of them, and his expressions stiffened slightly for a moment.
"What, it's distressing?"
Immediately, Izu's voice came from the side.
He cracked his parched mouth and smiled.
"Nope."
The answer is still simple and crisp.
"I've found something interesting in their memories, would you like to share it with you?" Although Yi Su asked, he didn't have the slightest intention of asking for the other party's opinion, he immediately raised his hand, and a water curtain appeared in the air, and the front was the strange things about Mu Yan that he saw through the eyes of the two of them.
Lal watched all this quietly, and seemed untouched.
"Have you ever remembered someone?" Isu asked him.
"Who?"
"Do you remember the last time the last vestige of consciousness of our poor mother befell the-"
"You mean the human swordsman?" Ral seemed to remember something.
"That's right, at the beginning of the Age of Faith, he unified the Plain of Horse Husbandry, and dedicated tens of thousands of precious beliefs to a bad old man whose whereabouts are unknown, and even today, when the Elemental Towers are blooming everywhere, Lord Ikali still has not been able to change the deep-rooted old beliefs of the three empires."
"Lancelot Morningstar? Didn't you kill him with your own hands? β
"Galateze didn't die twice, where do you think he is now?" Isu said mockingly, "Besides, who can guarantee that this is not another attempt by her?" β
"So what do you want to do? He went to that place. β
"There's going to be a chance." A smile tugged at Izu's feminine face.
"Remember that prophecy?
'Elemental sorrow,
'The bones rattled.
'The fog is gone,
'Dusk is falling.
'The twin Ouroboros died,
The omen of fate is no longer clear. β
"He calls himself 'Miya's son', how could he not know this? Besides, there are people who can't help it more than him. β
Knowing who the other person was referring to, Ral chuckled rarely, then turned to the two healing souls.
"And how are you going to explain Galazek to them?"
"Needless to explain, that memory has been erased by me."
