Bishop Ellison, who was in charge of the gladiatorial arena guard, never imagined that this group of recommended bloodline knights would stay in Inca for such a long time, a full twenty-nine days!

To be precise, under the influence of Talos, the other two bloodline knights who had long been ready to choose to give up gritted their teeth and persevered until now.

For comparison, the last group of Bloodline Knights who arrived here two months ago had only been in the arena for twelve days.

The Human Bishop has seen too many Bloodline Knights who have come here for competitive challenges, and when they first come to Inga, their mood is often excited and excited.

Standing out from the crowd of recommendations is a testament to excellence and potential – a recognition from the Goddess of Fortune Church that really deserves to be happy for days – and the sight of the miracle building adds to the joy, which is also the most relaxing stage for them in the Inga.

When there are a few deaths, it's definitely not a good experience, and they start to enter the second stage, depression.

Enemies, human or orc, armed with swords, scimitars, war hammers, or simply claws and fangs, piercing hearts, cutting off heads, biting throats......

It's no wonder that a bishop once joked that being on duty in the Colosseum was equivalent to collecting 1,000 ways to die for free.

Sadly, the Colosseum not only retains sensory perception when generating projections, but even zooms in on them.

This means that the bloodline knights who enter it can not only truly experience the horror of death and see with their own eyes how they died, but this horror is several times more than usual!

The sharp pain and darkness of the moment when the machete sliced open the skull, the numbness and despair of the blood's fangs piercing into the carotid artery in the neck......

Under the impact of the double experience and the double picture, the spirit and will of the bloodline knight will inevitably be greatly tested.

It is not only the fancy death that torments them, but also the frustration of being killed and having their faith ravaged every time they fail in battle.

Under the domination of the fear of death, a succession of frustrations poured down like mercury, pouring into their consciousness and gradually destroying the self-confidence of the Bloodline Knights built by praise and achievements.

Once confidence begins to break down and they fall from a great height, the huge gap and strong back-and-forth contrast often hit them much harder than those mediocre people with average talent.

In the following competitions, their performance cannot be said to regress, but at least there will be no significant improvement, and it often takes a week or more to come out of the shadows and continue to move forward and continue the next cycle.

After a short period of adjustment, they learn to overcome the fear of death and turn it into combat perception, so as to hone their will and bloodline, and touch the true meaning of entering the gladiatorial arena for competitive challenges.

In Ellison's opinion, Talos is now in the third phase.

On the third day after the first death came, when the tail was torn off alive by a ferocious bear, Talos reappeared in the gladiatorial arena, although the ending was a different way of dying, and the ferocious bear slapped his entire chest cavity into a depression, but it was evident that it did little to affect Naga's subsequent mental state.

Because during the third gladiatorial fight of the day, Naga successfully slice open the belly of the ferocious bear with a scimitar.

Not only that, but under the influence of his calm and courageous morale, the two bloodline knights, Lux and Ruth, slowly recovered after a short silence and have been holding on to this day.

Of course, both of them are already at the end of their crossbows, but compared to the bloodline knights who entered the gladiatorial arena before, this perseverance that was inspired by Talos intentionally or unintentionally alone alone can be regarded as very outstanding.

Talos didn't know that Ellison would think so highly of him, and of course what the other party thought was not all true.

First, the death he suffered in the arena of Talos was not strictly the first time he experienced death, and Lydia's death wave mark was half of it, allowing him to sublimate his soul and ignite his soul fire in a coma.

Second, the first [gluttony] counterattack and Queen Jane's death also caused Talos a lot of fear, and everything he did afterwards was for the purpose of stripping away the original desire.

Third, in order to gather enough divine power to open the Temporary Seal Gate as soon as possible, even in the face of the fear and frustration of death, Talos had to force himself to come to the Colosseum every night to eat a few meals.

In the process of snorting into the gladiatorial arena, two very different experiences appear simultaneously in Naga's spirit.

One is the death experience, where the ferocious bear grabs Talos's tail with its huge paws, its sharp claws slicing through the scales, sticking close to his body, hooking the internal muscles, first the flesh and blood are separated, then even the bones are torn together, the hemorrhage and the severe pain of the broken tail make his consciousness blurred, followed by a bear paw that grows larger and larger......

The other is to absorb the divine power, the enjoyment and pleasure brought by the satisfaction of desire, the whole body is light and fluttering, and all the senses are immersed in incomparable pleasure and pleasure.

A horror, a pleasure, the reincarnation of two extreme experiences in the spirit makes the other frustrations unworthy.

On the first day, Talos felt the "*****" of two extreme experiences, and he rested in the castle for a whole day.

The next day, he began to have a feeling similar to "great joy after the great terror" and entered another state.

On the third day, when the sun was about to rise, Naga finally woke up from the horror and pleasure with amazing perseverance, and achieved the purpose of tempering his will.

Later things became natural, and Talos consciously turned his daily food into a mist in the gladiatorial arena, and every time he ate, he could accumulate a beam of divine power.

Time passed little by little, and the pattern of the earthly python on the temporary imprint door was gradually lit up, flashing with a strange yellow light.

When Talos ate the cake for thirty days in a row, no longer felt that the mist was delicious, and the soul fire refined another beam of light, the temporary imprint door finally flashed a wave mark and completely turned into substance.

"It's finally time to open the Temporary Seal Door!"

After a day's rest, Talos informed Ellison that he was afraid he would need to take some time to feel and would not be disturbed in any way unless there was an emergency situation.

The human bishop readily agreed, and also said that he would send two first-order bloodline knights to guard the door, and would definitely not let anyone disturb him.

In Ellison's view, it seemed that Talos was about to make a very important breakthrough, and he was surprised and very happy to see it happen.

All the bloodline knights who come to the gladiatorial arena are the investment objects of the church, and they do not expect these knights who have been carefully selected to throw themselves into the arms of the goddess, but they can guarantee that they will remember this favor when they grow up in the future, and they can bring unexpected benefits to the church at a critical moment.

Then, Talos closed the door of the room, and with the help of enough magic crystals and a few spell scrolls such as "Detect Environment" and "Magic Alarm", he arranged three simple temporary magic arrays in the room, and then closed his eyes and immersed his spirit in the soul fire.

Of course, Naga knew that it was never a good idea to take a dimensional descent in Inca, whether there was any danger in the process of adventing, and how long the consciousness would exist in another plane......

But what choice does he have?

Between returning to Evelyn Palace for the Plane Advent and the immediate progression, Talos resolutely chose the latter, he always had to explore other planes once and accumulate experience before the subsequent Plane Advent could be smooth.

What's more, if he didn't have the strength to spread his own beliefs after his arrival because of the existence of gods in the Alien Plane itself, he still had enough time to remedy it by eating and absorbing divine power in the gladiatorial arena to prepare for the second plane descent.

In Sainz, he didn't have a chance to absorb the remnants of divine power.

Once an opportunity is missed, there is no chance.

With that in mind, Talos took a deep breath and nodded at the Temporary Sigil Door.

In the next instant, the earthly python pattern on the temporary sigil door swam in a strange yellow light.

Rumble!

The moment he sensed the stone door open, Talos's consciousness was already in a world of strange displacement, as if he was in a huge kaleidoscope.

Countless colorful streamers flew past him, and all kinds of strange pictures that Talos had seen, had never seen, fantasized, and never imagined were presented in front of him one by one.

His soul, and possibly consciousness, Talos could not define what the part of him that now had self-consciousness was, as if he was moving fast through an infinitely long and crooked pipe.

And the concept of "he" itself is constantly stretched, and there are several moments when Talos even feels that several of him exist at the same time, and there is a strange resonance in the dark.

It was a strange feeling, and it was absurd, and it creeped Talos a little creepy.

Naga regretted it a little, I shouldn't have been in such a hurry to make a plane descent.

Why didn't you think just now that you could continue to collect divine power and store it in the soul fire in the next half a month and leave the Inga together, Talos thought with annoyance.

In the next instant, countless glittering crystal cubes appeared in what he might call his field of vision, and slammed straight into one of them.

"Ahh

His consciousness screamed silently, and slammed into one of the crystal cubes, which exploded, and countless irregular crystals, large and small, reflected his current appearance.

It was a crimson flame with a black snake that looked very small, but infinitely large.

In a trance, the soul fire collided with a speck of dust, and the dust rippled like a circle of ripples, and the ripples continued to replicate and overlap themselves, turning into a magnificent world, engulfing the soul fire.

Then everything went dark.

When Talos came to his senses again, he found himself wrapped in a cloud of crimson flames, surrounded by boiling waters.

Not far away, there was a group of three-eyed octopuses with eight tentacles, large and small, each of which was about 10 feet long, and the small one was not the size of his palm.

They probably possess some intelligence, as evidenced by the way they look at Talos.

If his judgment is not wrong, the emotion in his eyes should correspond to anxiety or worry.

Wait, why did a group of octopuses look at him with anxious or worried eyes, was it because he was wrapped in a cloud of crimson flames, and the thing hurt him?

The next second, Talos's eyes went dark, and he understood why the octopuses were looking at him like that.

Because in the center of the crimson flames is an octopus, a giant octopus that is almost as large as the Sainz Deep Sea Monster King Squid.

Each of his tentacles was longer than the tail of Talos's original body, at least 20 feet or more!

The tan tentacles were covered with pale white suction cups with a hint of pink, densely packed, and were constantly twitching and curling in the flames.

Realizing that this might be the vehicle by which his consciousness descended on his plane, Talos cursed, only to be met with a series of strange screams.

Bear!

Under the calcination of the soul fire, each sucker of the giant octopus spewed out red flames, and soon, the entire octopus turned into red flames from the inside out, as if this was his original appearance.

Streams of energy flowed with the assimilation of the giant octopus, and when the giant octopus completely turned into flames, all the flames converged and gradually rose towards the sea.

Rumble!

With a loud bang, a blazing fireball rushed out of the sea, and a large area of sea water was instantly transpired into a large fog that filled the sea.

The sun shines down, forming a rainbow of light in the rising mist.

In the rainbow light, the fiery fireball continued to elongate, forming the silhouette of a giant serpent with the upper half of the body of the human body and the lower half of the body.

Immediately after, Talos finally felt the presence of his body again, still a half-human, half-snake Naga, as if the giant octopus just now was just an illusion, but the group of octopuses that followed the fireball to the surface of the sea told Talos that it was not.

Talos landed in the sea, his upper body rising to the surface, he closed his eyes, trying to sense the soul fire, but did not get any additional information about it all.

"Strange—" Talos put a finger in his mouth, and with a bite, red blood flowed out, "it's blood, yes." ”

Just a few seconds ago, this body had been a flame assimilated by soul fire, but now it had become a living Naga.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have the blood power that Talos was so familiar with and belonged to the Immortal Whale, Talos would have begun to explore the extremely esoteric philosophical question of "whether he was descending from a plane or had just woken up from a very real dream".

Then, he was interrupted by a mixture of shock and disbelief.

"Oh my God, it's the messenger of God, the Creator has finally sent down the messenger!"

Talos turned to look and saw that not far behind him was a cliff by the sea.

A square cloister-like temple is built on the cliff, and a group of people are performing a festival in the square in front of the temple.
