Chapter 382: Karin's Promotion (Asking for a Guaranteed Monthly Pass)
The view from the floating island is good. Outside the throne hall, a hollow cavern that had been seen out of the peeling rock formations had become the best viewing platform after being slightly adjusted by Sesila.
This is just a temporary adjustment, and it can be regarded as a small benefit when the Dolphin Prince sends Raven back.
It's not impossible to fly such a large floating island, but it will be very mana-consuming. If the mana in the floating island is consumed too much, the Mithic Core will automatically drain mana from all the surrounding places where it can draw mana.
In the year of the voyage, it was the magic of extracting the space around it.
But now that it is still a turbulent year, there is naturally a more convenient choice - the magic net of the goddess of the magic net.
Any normal extraction of the power of the magic net, Mistyla will not have an opinion. Not to mention the Mithic Core, a quasi-magic item that was approved by the previous generation of Mistira back in the era of the Arcane Empire.
However, wasting a lot of magic net magic to play drag racing is another matter.
After the guarantee is cool, the 'beef jerky' of the goddess of the magic net will be delivered immediately. Mistira isn't that violent, she doesn't slash down like Talos, but as long as you want to simply use magic, you can't get around her, and Mistyla has a way to get rid of you.
At the moment, the floating island is only moving at a speed of thirty kilometers per hour.
It's actually pretty fast. The carriage can't reach this speed unless it runs wild, and the movement of the floating island still ignores the terrain.
Looking at the mountains at your feet, you really feel like the earth is crawling under your feet.
Suddenly, a powerful aura erupted in the floating island.
The aura of blazing flames swept through the three small layers.
"Huh?" Raven was slightly surprised, and an expression of joy appeared on his face in an instant.
Behind her, Jessica, who was slumped on the throne, seemed to wake up. But she was so sleepy, she couldn't even hold her eyelids open.
"It's fine. You go back to sleep. It's Karin. I'll take a look. ”
"Hmm." Humming wearily, Jessica curled up and went back to sleep.
With a [Shadow Jump], Raven shuttled accurately into Karin's room.
The room was full of fire.
There was no incineration of objects, and there was no smell of burnt things.
From the flickering light and the blazing breath, you can feel that these are real flames. It's magical. The flames wrapped around everything in the room, but they didn't burn anything. It's as if these flames are like phantoms that don't exist.
This is not so much a flame as a flocculent gas with partial flame properties.
On the bed, Karin lay on her side like a sleeping beauty, her straight eyelashes fluttering slightly, indicating that the owner of the flames was in a strange state of chaos.
The power of intense fire surged over her like waves, first as the waves of a small river, then as a large river, surging more and more. In the end, it was like a tsunami that rolled up a frenzy.
This near-materialized power of fire was no longer lethal, and the swordsmen of the Phantom Swordsman Regiment who had rushed from the nearby floors found it impossible to move forward at all. It was an intense sting that made their skin burn all over their body, and moving forward meant rushing into a hell of flames without knowing what was going on.
Just at this time, Lyra's oracle came.
"Stand down, it's okay, it's Karin who has been promoted."
"Yes!" The swordsmen were pardoned.
Noticed Sainz and the Monk already waiting near the room. Leila also said to her, "You can step down too, and leave it to Raven next." ”
The Facial Paralysis Female Sword Saint and the Evil Monk nodded. Gone.
The flames that burst out of Karin's body were very violent, not to mention that the legendary powerhouses couldn't bear it, and those who were almost the strongest in the Sanctuary might not be able to suppress this kind of fierce flames.
"Brother......" Karin cried out in confusion.
"Well, I'm here." Raven replied softly, unfurling the shadow canopy, using the power of the realm to absorb almost all of the flames that Karin had leaked out.
"You're a big bastard!" Karin scolded suddenly.
Hey?!
Raven was a little embarrassed. Because he found out that Karin was not awake at all, it was purely unconscious swearing.
"Woo woo, people are not strong enough, so they don't look for me. Go find the fox. Woo-woo-" Karin muttered words that bordered on a dream.
"......" Raven scratched his head, slightly in pain.
Well, this is indeed a fact.
Especially after Raven was promoted to a demigod, his physical fitness was already more than twenty times that of ordinary people. Don't think that the Phoenix Dance Warriors who came with Karin didn't flatter Raven.
The Lord of Phantom Knight City, the youngest legendary powerhouse...... Throwing one of these names out casually can attract bees and butterflies, not to mention a lot of prestige added to a person.
Raven didn't feel moved at all, and one of the reasons was that their bodies were too weak. If Raven gets excited, if he accidentally pushes his hands too hard or something, he will die immediately.
Even if other factors are not considered, just that Lyra and Karin are together, Raven would rather attack Lyra.
The strength of the body of the gods!
"Brother...... Brother-Karin has worked hard. Don't abandon me......" Karin's dreams were heartbreaking.
Raven didn't speak, but lay down and gently hugged Karin from behind.
Without deliberately suppressing Karin's power, Raven absorbed all of Karin's spilling flames.
Surprisingly, as if sensing Raven's presence, Karin's power began to settle down.
After a few seconds, Karin's brow moved, as if the nightmare space that had imprisoned her soul cracked with Raven's gentle caresses, and the whole nightmare was completely shattered.
"Brother?!" Karin opened her eyes and suddenly found Raven waiting beside her, her face flushing in an instant.
"Fool, don't be promoted casually."
"I ...... I ......" Karin was completely embarrassed to say it, it was because she fell asleep in anger and inspired the arrogance in her heart that she was vaguely promoted to the legendary rank.
"You have phoenix blood now, if you don't do it, you'll burn yourself. Be careful in the future. Raven laughed.
"Humph! If you don't mess around, I won't mess around. Karin lost her temper and tilted her head to one side.
"Messing around? Perhaps...... Do you hate Jessica? ”
As if she didn't want to say anything, Karin turned around and buried her little head in Raven's chest, making a mosquito-like sound.
"Why Jessica? There are quite a few girls who like you. Is it because she has a good figure? Do men like to play the game of Conquistador? ”
"Conqueror games? Perhaps. But most importantly, it was an experiment that started unintentionally. ”
"Experiments?"
"Yes, experiments on the origin of shadows." Raven stroked Karin's hair gently, "I wonder how much influence the Shadow Origin has on the cognate creatures. ”
Silently staring at the system subtitles, Raven clearly saw that the shadow origin he could use had dropped from 28% to 27.5%, which was definitely a lot. It meant that to elevate Jessica from the Legend to the Sanctuary, plus to completely capture her body and mind, Raven paid half a percentage of the Shadow Origin.
Unless Jessica dies, her share cannot be reduced.
Raven now understands why super strong people like Kashusi, who is as strong as the god of fire elements, will not give the power of the origin at will, this is really a little less, strengthen his subordinates, and he will be weakened in disguise.
It is conceivable that if you were to use the source to subdue the true God, the cost would have reached a point where even the gods would be shocked when they saw it.
However, if it is true that certain hostile gods can be tamed through the power of the Origin, then there is quite a lot of room for manoeuvre......
"Experiment!? Isn't Sister Jessica too pitiful? Karin is kind-hearted, and a moment ago she hated Jessica so much that she gritted her teeth, and after learning the news, her attitude immediately turned a hundred and eighty degrees.
Raven chuckled, "Do you think of me as a tyrannical king or something?" I admit that the conquest of Jessica was both an experiment and an accident. But I'm not a bad guy who just throws people away after they've played with them. I'll treat her well. ”
"Really? Don't lie to me, we'll pull the hook. Karin held out the little finger of her right hand.
Raven smiled and hooked Karin: "You, why don't you worry about yourself?" ”
"Humph! I'm your only sister in heaven and on earth. I'm not afraid. ”
"Yes, yes, my brother loves you the most." Raven gently hugged Karin and rubbed his nose back and forth on Karin's collarbone.
"That'...... Brother, do you want to do an experiment too? ”
"What experiment?"
"An experiment on the strength of my body after I was promoted." Karin's face was crimson.
Raven Excalibur strikes! Win the battle! Kill Karin to the point where she loses her armor and collapses!
By the time Raven returned to the Blood Throne Hall refreshed, Jessica had woken up, obediently cleaned up the scene, and waited in a maid suit.
Seeing Raven's arrival, Jessica seems to want to do a lady's ceremony.
However, when she saluted, she stumbled in pain and could barely stand on her feet, and Raven helped her.
"Jessica, follow me in the future and wear whatever you like."
"Hmm." Jessica didn't dare to look at Raven, and lowered her head, her face flushed.
"Come with me to blow the wind."
"Yes."
Standing on the terrace, Raven clasped his hands on his chest and stared at the world quietly.
In this rare leisure, Raven quietly thought about the road ahead.
It's been almost a year and a half since I entered the world of Ultron, and although there are many twists and turns in between, I still walk beautifully overall. The basic plate of No. 9 Floating Island can be said to have been preserved.
The next step is to seek further development.
It is not particularly difficult to gather the fragments of the 25th Floating Continent. It is not too difficult to sweep away the hostile forces above with the existing forces, and the real difficulty is how to defend this continent in the year of destruction. (To be continued......)
