57. Viruses

"Come if you want, go if you want, how can there be such a cheap thing. The mage muttered as he turned into a crimson neon and chased in one direction, the disgusting aura of Peter Orm's soul after the heavy blow could no longer be hidden, and the mage could easily track his whereabouts.

Peter Orm was spit out from space a thousand kilometers away, and his teleportation scroll successfully broke through the rune barrier, but his current situation is not good.

It was not only his body that was torn apart by space, but also his soul.

He had been prepared to lose this body and part of his soul, but when it came to the end, he still didn't expect it to be so painful, especially for his soul, and he wanted to give up this part of his soul, but he had to give up this idea when he thought of the long period of recuperation and the huge resources needed to recover after doing so.

However, the biggest crisis he faced was not the pain, originally the coordinates recorded by the scroll he had just used were the coast where he landed, if he was not interrupted, he could leave the mage continent unnoticed, but now the distance of teleportation was greatly reduced, and he had to face the pursuit of the official mage.

Normal people probably can't imagine how a person with only half a body should live, but mages are mages after all, and they always have their own way.

Peter Orm took out a corpse from his personal space, stretched out his fingers and cut half of it accurately, and snapped it on his body, and with a mysterious spell, this part of his body actually came to life, growing with the part he owned.

As soon as he finished this work, he saw the red glow in the sky, and the undisguised energy fluctuations that followed.

"Damn, shit, shit!" Peter Orm cursed as he took off and flew toward the shoreline.

The official mage of the Moldor Tower did not bother to hide the energy fluctuations at all, the elemental mage's unique elemental body brought him a miracle and speed far beyond the flesh and blood, the distance of a thousand kilometers was fleeting, and in his fiery eyes, the gray and ugly soul of the anti-mage was clearly visible.

"What are you running for? How can a targeted prey escape the hunt of a hunter, especially if you are so weak as a prey? The mage muttered softly, but the voice reached Peter Orm's ears clearly.

At this time, the despair faced by Peter Orm was probably similar to that of Adam just now, but Adam was rescued, and it was absolutely impossible for anyone to come out to save him at this time.

A pillar of liquid fire appeared in front of Peter Orm, and he knew that it was impossible for him to escape the mage's pursuit, but fortunately he stopped in mid-air, half of his naked and uncoordinated body looking at the fire elemental mage viciously.

"Don't you run away? That's right, you rats always have a way to survive anyway, so you might as well leave this part of your soul to me," the official mage of the tower is similar to Blake, who showed his power at the beginning, and half of his body is elementalized to hook majestic magic, and every move, word and deed can cause a phenomenon far beyond the magic power of the apprentice.

"Sinners who blaspheme magic, one day you will kill yourselves!" Peter Orm's hoarse voice was filled with hatred and curse, and he reached out to the mage to point at it, and the soul-tearing magic reappeared.

The formal mage looked at the gray pillar of light amusedly, and did not have the slightest intention of dodging, allowing the magic to hit his body.

Adam's magic that couldn't be low-grade at all seemed like a joke in front of the official mage, and the pillar of light exploded in front of the mage, and was immediately annihilated by the activated elementals, and the official mage was unscathed.

"Tens of thousands of years of unchanging shoddy tricks, look, this is the consequence of your rejection of knowledge, you claim to be the master of the soul, but you don't even know what the soul is. Seriously, if it weren't for the will of that great being, if it weren't for the fact that you would still be of such use," the official mage said as he waved his hand at Peter Orm, the raging flames easily piercing through his energy defenses, "Any few extradimensional mages can wipe you out completely. ”

Peter Orm simply gave up on dodging, allowing the flames to burn his freshly assembled body to ashes.

This is a second-level official mage, definitely not something Peter Orm can match, the anti-mage is weaker than the mainstream mage, and the same level is still at a disadvantage, not to mention that the tower mage in front of him is of a higher level than him.

He viciously tore apart the carbonized body tissue, and said to the mage, "Great being? Phew! He's just a traitor, a traitor to an ancient nobleman and a noble mage! He, and you, will sooner or later be abandoned by the Aether, and sooner or later he will perish......"

The flames grew thinner and hotter, but instead of completely destroying Peter Orm, the heat formed a seal that completely cut off Peter Orm's mutilated body and soul from the outside world.

"A bunch of ungrateful fools, hopeless. He stretched out his hand, and the sealing fire gradually shrank, and finally he took it in his hand, and after the mage said this, he turned and flew back towards the place of trial.

Another official mage was a little regretful, he didn't capture or kill the anti-mage with his own hands, his merits and rewards this time would be greatly reduced, and because within the scope of his duties, the anti-mage has killed many tower apprentices in the trial place now, and he will be questioned by the tower after he returns, and at most maintain a balance between income and expenditure, he looked at Adam who fell into a coma and said: "Boy, may the ether bless you safe and sound, and then, well, you will probably thank me very much for saving my life and pay me a lot of money, right?"

The fire elemental mage shook the fireball and said with a smile: "It's just an apprentice, what good things do you expect from him?" and this unfortunate boy was hit by a soul tear, whether he can save his soul or not, it's still two words. ”

"No, look at this," the mage flicked his finger on Adam's forehead, and Adam's whole body trembled from top to bottom, and then the mage's fingers left his forehead, and at the same time a faint telekinesis and a trembling devil were detained.

The fire elemental mage was stunned for a moment, patted his head and said, "Are you still alive?" Hey, this is...?Oh, I know this, the best research results of the Moldor Tower in recent decades, so he is the ......" The mage didn't remember Adam's name, and vaguely said, "The apprentice?"

The mage nodded: "That's right, it's him, this little guy is very rich......"

The fire elemental mage shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then good luck, but there are not many mages in the Moldor Tower and even the Fifth Element Holy Tower, and there are not many mages who study soul power, and this kid's problem is not so easy to solve." ”

"There's always hope, isn't there?"

......

The last scene Adam saw when he realized it was that a moment before the soul-tearing magic completely hit him, a shimmering metallic torrent appeared in front of him, blocking some of the magic's power, but before he could let go of his air, another part of the magic sent him into the darkness.

After being struck by the soul-ripping magic, all of Adam's mind threads went into a state of downtime, and his physical activity was completely manipulated back to a state of inefficiency in the autonomous work of cells and organs, but strangely, he felt his own soul.

What exactly is the soul?

No one on Earth knows, not even if it really exists, but in this world, the soul does exist and is separate from the mind.

Adam's mind was down, but his soul was still working.

This was the first time Adam had seen his soul and the white space he had named the 'Sea of Souls' since he had awakened.

In this space, Adam once fought against the billions of viruses and won, and now, he needs to fight a second time.

The gray negative energy formed by the desperate soul appeared in the soul sea, and quickly invaded Adam's soul.

In the face of such a situation, Adam was relieved, it was just another virus invasion, the quantity was far less than when it came through, although the quality was surpassed, but the current Adam was not in a weak state at that time, and it should be easier to solve the problem.

Although he thought so, it was not as easy to operate as he imagined, and Adam forgot about one variable, the power of magic.

If what followed him through before was just an ordinary DOS attack, which only encroached on bandwidth and consumed computing power, then the soul tearing magic is a more advanced code virus, written by the great programmer of magic, and constantly exhibiting the nature of 'mutation'.

So the process of eradicating the virus became very difficult.

Adam could not destroy the virus through mechanical psychic attacks like before, but first had to contact the virus to understand how the virus works and the 'core code', and then look for weak points and gradually weaken the power of the virus before it can be eliminated.

This negative energy generated by the despair of the human soul is completely incomprehensible to common sense, and they are full of destructive tendencies, not only destroying Adam, but also constantly destroying themselves. The most troublesome thing is that in Adam's way now, neither destroying the virus nor self-destructing the virus will weaken their power, but will make them stronger and more difficult to deal with.

It's like a dead knot, and Adam can't do anything about it for the time being, but at least he doesn't have the danger of soul annihilation, so instead of despairing, he finds it funny.

Anti-mages, or ancient magicians, have their own unique system, although they are now eliminated, but archaeology is also a kind of research, there is no information on this in the tower of Moldo, and now there are ready-made laboratories and experimental samples in front of Adam, and he is very interested in studying it.

It's just that this kind of research omits the process of exploring the theory and goes directly to the empirical stage, and the subject is himself.
