Chapter 176: Falling into the Trap
"Schiff, can you hear me...... Schiff? Kiaran reached out to touch the white wolf Shiv lying on the ground, but Shiv gave them no response.
For some reason, Oran's heart palpitated, and a bad premonition arose. It went too well, and from the moment they entered the abyss, things didn't go beyond their expectations, whether it was the number of monsters or the "white cat" that guided them. They tried to find the white wolf Schiff, and found it almost effortlessly.
And this is the lair of Manus, the lord of the abyss, Manus just let them "do whatever they want", obediently sitting in place and waiting for Orlan and Chiaran to brush up their experience, rescue their companions, and finally push him down?
Is this a trap? The thought flashed through her mind, and Orlan had just opened her mouth to stop Kialan, but she had already reached for Shif.
Schiff, who was in the golden formation, shattered like a spirit body, and then disappeared, and the golden array that remained in place turned into a bottomless black hole vortex in the blink of an eye, emitting energy that devoured everything around him. When Orlan reached out to grab Kialan, she suddenly disappeared before her eyes, as if she had never appeared.
Orlan didn't believe that any monster could quietly take people away under his nose, so could it all just be a trap, magic or a spell? Before he had time to think about it, the black hole on the ground spread rapidly to his feet, and Orlan did not escape the fate of being captured by the black hole, only to feel that the ground under his feet gradually softened, and even began to drag him down like a man-eating swamp.
The more the lone man struggled in the swamp, the faster he fell, and Orlan thought quickly about how to deal with it. Crystallization magic may be able to "freeze" the soft and sticky black mud around it. The magic of pouring crystals and condensing soul power into solid crystals is a crystallization spell scavenged from the soul of a crystallized old man in his previous life.
However, the magic did not appear as Orlan had expected, and dissipated as if it were mud cows entering the sea, and by this time the black mud had already flooded Oran's chest. When Orlan tried to cast other spells again, it didn't work, as if he had been deprived of his ability to cast spells by the "Silence Ban".
After trying to communicate with the greatsword and armor, Orlan was so surprised to find that they did not give Orlan any threatening signals. You know, even a needle, a fallen leaf, will touch the armor, and they will "alert" Oran.
But the black mud that enveloped Orlan and made him sink did not alert them, magic could not deceive a sword or armor, only humans with complex senses.
In the same way, Orlan himself did not directly feel the threat of life, so Oran already had some guesses, these black mud including Kiaran and the white wolf Shiv are probably hallucinatory spells, I don't know when the two of them have fallen into this illusion, it may be the moment Kiaran touches Shif, or it may start from the first step they step into the abyss cave.
Anyway, for now, Oran can only hope that Kiaran can take care of herself, and he must find another way to undo the illusion.
Manus, Lord of the Abyss, is this how he welcomes visitors?
β¦β¦
The darkness enveloped Oran completely, without any light, sound, or even smell, and he couldn't even hear his own heartbeat, as if he was trapped in a universe with nothing, unable to touch anything, no matter how much he twisted his body and swung his limbs, he could only stay in place.
How much longer? Oran's thoughts seemed to be gradually beginning to condense.
Suddenly, the whole world became so bright and glaring. Orlan squinted slightly, and he finally felt the power coming from his feet that could support his body. He stepped on the ground, saw his surroundings perfectly, and was in the middle of a small room.
A whitewashed room with a door in front of it and nothing else. Oran was aware that this must have been the work of that guy Manus, so what was the point of locking him in a room?
Since there is a door, let's go out.
But before Orlan could take the first step, the handle of the door began to rotate, and after ninety degrees, it clicked...... The door opened.
"Morgan? Oh, I didn't expect to see you again. Well, or let me call you Manus? Do you think that by becoming that old man, you can find the weakness in my heart, and then break through the so-called psychological defense, and finally completely crush me and let you slaughter me? Oran's eyes widened, then he smiled contemptuously.
"Alas, I can't imagine that the famous human ancestor Manus still uses this kind of vulgar routine, is there anything new, I find you really naΓ―ve and ridiculous as a boss. Let me tell you, Uncle Ben doesn't eat this set at all, and his heart is also healthy, and there are no bugs. So wouldn't it be nice if you let me out early, and let's do it with real knives and guns? Oran's words blasted at the other party like a cannon.
Morgan, who emerged from behind the door was the old hunter Morgan, Orlan was a little surprised but still lost. This script is that Manus turned into old Morgan to bewitch and instigate Orlan to give up, this world is not worth his efforts, it is better to destroy the world, let everyone feel your pain...... Then Oran suddenly came to his senses, broke the shackles of his heart, faced the boss body, and successfully eliminated the other party to rescue the princess and the like.
ββ¦β¦ Stinky boy, you've really changed a lot, and you haven't seen you for a long time, and you're still the same as before. Morgan, dressed in a crisp white suit, with his hair brushed back like wax, wore a pair of sunglasses and a pair of crutches.
"Hey, you're really good at dressing up, but it's too disagreeable, especially with your fast-flowing hair. If you want to become Morgan, you'll have to at least make your image a little sloppy. β
"Hey! Stinky boy, you don't have enough strength, but your skin is thick, and you dare to teach me a lesson! See if I don't clean you up. "Don't you prevent this old man from saying a word, and he picked up his crutches and slammed them at Orlan.
"Hey, what's the matter, you still want to hit someone!" It seems that Orlan spared no effort to complain and finally angered the old man, Oran didn't want to be hammered to death by the boss's crutches, he touched it behind him, how to fat four? Where is the sword, and where is my armor? Orlan suddenly realized that he had nothing on his body except for a hospital gown.
Looks like this illusion is a bit powerful!
Now the style of painting has obviously collapsed, an old man in a suit and leather shoes is limping with a cane to chase a black short-haired young man running in the house, and the young man is dodging left and right while not forgetting to attack the old man with his undisciplined mouth cannon, and the old man is not to be outdone, and all kinds of tricks and swearing words emerge in endlessly.
makes people wonder whether this unsightly picture is a moral degradation or a distortion of human nature...... ()
