Chapter 785: Back to Reality

The psychic storm roared and raged, forming a real "storm" in this world formed by psychic power, and where powerful magic swept through, many things made of dreams and projections fell apart and vanished!

Archbishop Magnum raised his hands in the air and smiled pleasantly.

In such a strange place, facing a group of distorted projections, facing a sinister trap on the mental level, it is really not an easy and pleasant experience.

If you want to crack this kind of unguardable mental trap, to be honest, he really can't do it.

But if it comes to the stage where both sides show their blood...... Oh, then he's in good spirits!

After all, before devoting himself to the promising cause of cultists, he was a priest for the god of war.

The Cult of the God of War has a weak influence in the Ansu-Cecil region, and the number of believers is not large, but in the Typhon Empire, the Church of the God of War is the most influential sect, and Typhon's army is full of priests of the Church of the God of War, all of whom are irascible old pigeons......

In the roaring mental storm, Gao Wen, who was in a state of psychological invisibility, narrowed his eyes slightly.

The pale golden runes summoned by Archbishop Yuri flickered around the exploration team, forming a strong psychic barrier, and beyond the barrier, there was a powerful storm that seemed to destroy everything, but inside the barrier, there was no wave.

So these golden runes are used to defend against teammates' damage......

A slight thought of laughter and tears welled up in his mind, and Gawain's gaze crossed the Eternal Sleeper's exploration team and threw himself into the church staircase not far away.

Psychic Storm could only deal with the fragile projection inhabitants and the plaza space that would not resist, and the old priest with his strange magic was still standing firmly at the end of the church staircase, some kind of protective spell helped him resist the damage of Psychic Storm, and he stared at Selena Gelfen as she walked up the stairs step by step with a look of frenzy and anger on his face.

Obviously, Selena now looks like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, but as she moves forward step by step with a lantern in her hand, there is a terrifying momentum spreading around her, and that momentum even gradually suppresses the holy and majestic sacred music above the church, and suppresses the magic that the old priest exerts with all his might.

Gawain was not surprised by this situation.

After all, this exploration team is the elite of the Eternal Sleepers, and it is led by a legendary powerhouse who was called the "Sage" seven hundred years ago.

Although this legendary powerhouse has fallen in the real world, in this world supported by soul and psychic power, her strength will not be compromised in the slightest - and may even be stronger.

In the beginning of the exploration, it was the strange nature of Phantom Town itself and the overflowing power of Sandbox One that exceeded everyone's comprehension that created the crisis and pressure, but now...... It has reached the stage where the two sides are facing each other, and in a head-to-head confrontation, how can a priest who is just a projection be Selena's opponent?

"O supreme upper narrator! Drop your strength! Punish these thugs for intruding on the peace of the church! In the face of the extremely unfavorable situation, the old priest roared angrily, he seemed to have finally made up his mind, and was ready to exert the power that could turn the situation around at great cost, the layers of aura behind him suddenly expanded, even covering half of the square, and his voice also merged with the ubiquitous holy music, and resounded throughout the town, "May your kingdom come down on earth, and your will will be done, may you walk in the earth, as in the pure land of heaven—"

In the sky above the church square, the magnificent and holy "Voice of Heaven" became loud and clear again, and in the aura behind the old priest, layers of phantoms seemed to break through some kind of barrier and "squeeze" into this world.

Such a projection, a projection of believing in an "upper-level narrator", can not only release ordinary divine magic, but even perform divine descent magic?!

At this moment, Archbishop Yuri even hesitated for a moment, he even wanted to wait for the elderly priest in front of him to finish his magic and see what he could summon - but he immediately extinguished the dangerous idea, which was most likely induced by the enemy.

But before he could prepare to join the other Eternal Sleepers in interrupting the enemy's divine descent, the majestic divine spell suddenly stopped.

The sound of sacred music in mid-air stopped abruptly, and the phantom that emerged in the layers of aura also disappeared in an instant, and the divine descent technique that the old priest tried his best to cast was not answered.

Even the old priest himself was stunned for a moment, and then he showed a frightened expression: "Lord...... For...... Why?! ”

Selena stepped up the last step in front of the church, and she looked up at the elderly priest in a state of dazed despair, and although she was looking up, her momentum seemed to look down: "You look surprised...... In other words, your divine art was indeed able to summon part of the power projection of the upper narrator? ”

"You heretic, what have you done!?" The old priest woke up in shock, couldn't help but take half a step back, and looked at Selena with a lantern in her hand with anger, "Why...... Why can't I feel the power of the Lord, why can't I hear ......"

"I didn't do anything," Selena looked at each other quietly, "do you need me to remind you again?" You're just a projection, and this town is also a projection, and everything here is a projection.

"If you can still hear the voice of your 'Lord' in the previous prayers, then it must be an illusion.

"If you can still cast the magic that your 'Lord' has given you, then you are only overdrawing the power of this phantom town.

"Because, you're just a projection."

Selena's hand emitted a milky white light, like a wake-up sun shining into the depths of a dream, penetrating the old priest's mental protection.

And the word "projection" that Selena kept mentioning also followed the power of this light and pierced into the depths of the other party's closed and locked consciousness.

The entire Phantom Town shook violently.

The spires of height and height crumble silently, the streets are full of cracks in the blink of an eye, and everything begins to disintegrate irrevocably, as if some kind of pillar that supports the world has disappeared, and the town that has survived on the fragmented projection information to this day is on the verge of an end in the blink of an eye.

Obviously, after confirming the limits of the power of the projection priests in the town, and realizing that it is possible for the "upper narrator" in Sandbox One to establish a connection with this phantom town through "divine magic", Selena Gerfen has no intention of keeping this dangerous "sample" anymore.

"No...... It shouldn't be like this......" The old priest in front of the chapel retreated in horror until he reached the door depicting the insignia of the upper narrator, his body was covered with black cracks, and his whole person was like a porcelain that was rapidly cracking, and the sight was terrifying, "The Lord will protect me, the Lord should be omniscient and omnipotent, Lord...... Why can't I hear ......?"

Selena glanced at the projection priest who had begun to question her own existence, and even the upper narrator, with a little pity, and then took a step towards the church door in front of her: "Mission over, evacuate." ”

The members of the exploration team silently followed the figure with the lantern in hand, and one by one they passed the projection priest whose figure had begun to be illusory, the latter reaching out in vain, as if trying to stop something, but he was already thin and illusory like a shadow, and could no longer stop anyone.

Gawain stood silently the whole time, watching the members of the Eternal Sleeper Exploration Team pass through the church doors one by one, and one by one the breath disappears into the "town after the bells rang", until the last person left, he stepped forward to the door of the church.

The sky had darkened, and the town began to crumble and disintegrate from the outside in, buildings crumbling in the distance, and black fragments flying towards the chaotic and gloomy sky like fallen leaves rolled up.

The projection priest's tattered body leaned against the church door, a mixture of frenzy and dazed look in his eyes.

Suddenly, his broken eyes reflected the figure of an uninvited guest.

Gawain deliberately lifted the effect of psychological invisibility, as if to verify something, standing quietly in front of this projection.

"Can you see me?" He lowered his head and asked unhurriedly.

"Are you ......" The projection priest's eyes slowly widened, and he looked at the stranger in front of him in dismay, "Are you...... What the?! ”

"Can you see it...... Interesting," Gao Wen smiled slightly, then shook his head again, "It's a pity that you're just a projection, and the connection to Sandbox One has been interrupted, otherwise I would really want you to help me give a message to the upper narrator." ”

The projection priest's consciousness had already begun to drift, and he subconsciously repeated: "Piggyback? ”

"Wanderer, who will visit your Lord in the near future."

The last ray of light in the town is gone.

The spillover projection of the No. 1 sandbox that had survived the longest in the psychic network vanished.

In the familiar switch of light and shadow and brief vertigo, Gawain returned to the real world.

There was a sound of clicking and snorting melon seeds on the side, Gao Wen just tilted his head, and a handful of melon seeds were handed to him: "Here you go, eat melon seeds." ”

Gawain didn't take anything from Amber, but muttered as if talking to himself, "After that, the Eternal Sleeper should be able to take positive action against Sandbox One......"

In Phantom Town, the nameless projection priest did indeed use the power of divine magic - although his last divine descent failed, the "divine magic" itself meant that the "upper narrator" in Sandbox 1 already had the characteristics of a god on some level!

And the deep pollution encountered by Yuri and others in the process of calibrating their minds shows that the "god-like existence" is not a virtual appearance, but can really have a hidden pollution and a substantial impact on the outside world!

The Eternal Sleepers will not sit idly by and watch the situation unfold, and even if they take the risk, they should take further action.

And Gawain himself...... His last words to the projection priest weren't random, as he had expected that the Eternal Sleeper's actions would most likely fail.

The upper narrators, "crafted" by the Sleepers themselves, are too restrained by their own power.

Gawain has decided to find a way to intervene in the follow-up actions of the Eternal Sleeper, and even ...... When they open Sandbox One, find a way to go inside!

Amber was accustomed to Gao Wen's daze from time to time, she easily took the melon seeds back into the snack box in front of her, and said casually while continuing to click: "What's bigger over there?" ”

"Hmm." Gawain replied casually, and his gaze fell on Amber.

Things in the network of minds need to be paid attention to, and things in the real world also need to be paid attention to.

The figure of Selena Gerfen came to mind.

"Amber - is the search mission assigned to you still ongoing?"

"You mean the whereabouts of that Selena Gerfen?" Amber nodded, "It's still investigating, and I already have a highly suspicious target......"

"A highly suspicious target?" Gawain raised his eyebrows and asked with some surprise, "What is it?" ”

"The Kant region, the Gülen region, have temporarily demarcated these two suspect locations," Amber put down the melon seeds, clapped her hands, and said with a serious face, "The former has appeared as a 'holy object' of the Eternal Sleep Order such as the 'Dream Lantern', and the latter ...... Patty's tiara is a very questionable object.

"If Selena Gelfen is using magic items to transfer her soul, then these two things are the most suspicious, and they could be 'containers'.

"Of course, now that the Dream Lantern has been transferred to Cecil City, it has been dismantled into parts by Rebecca and studied by Carmel many times, so I can determine that its interior is 'empty', so I think that if it was a container, then Selena should have been out of it before that......"

Amber analyzed the situation in a coherent manner, and Gawain looked at her with more and more surprise.

It seems that even if he doesn't get the key clues in this exploration, the goose in front of him, with the intelligence power at hand, will find the clues of Selena Gehlon sooner or later, even if he can't directly lock on to Patty himself, he can narrow down the scope to the latter.

Gawain laughed and shook his head, interrupting Amber's words.

"Arrange for me to go to Gülen."

Amber's eyes slowly widened.

After observing Gawain's expression for a second, she blurted out, "Mommy...... Am I busy for nothing? ”

Gawain: "......"

Why has this guy been getting sharper lately?
