116. Hesitation

"What a loss!" Talos thought depressedly.

Before today, if someone told Talos that a great knight would be besieged to death by a group of second-order bloodline knights, he would have been dismissive.

The difference in strength between the second-order and the fourth-order is too big, and for the great knight, dealing with the second-order bloodline knight is as simple as chopping melons and vegetables, and it is completely crushing in strength.

However, after experiencing last night's dream, Talos decided to change his opinion, and when the number of second-order bloodline knights rose to 30,000, 50,000, or even 100,000, the seemingly unlikely view could still be valid.

In the dream, Talos used his bloodline expertise raindrops to crash into a school of trench merfolk, barely blasting a gap, sowing the seeds of jealousy, and using multi-weapon combat with savage charges and tail sweeps to try to break through the encirclement and blockade, and fight and retreat.

The method was good, but it didn't work out.

Because after blasting through layer after layer of trench merfolk, they are still trench merfolk, they seem to be endless, no matter which direction you start, there are always more numbers and roars wrapped outside, firmly locking Talos in the center.

Talos even suspected that the rest of the sea that existed in the dream was filled with trench merfolk except for him.

Half a year later, Talos was in extreme decline, and the dense wounds on his body and his extremely tired spirit made the circle of trench merfolk smaller and smaller.

Through the scarlet blood, the Naga's dim vision and underwater vision allowed Talos to see the trench merfolk's sharp claws, three-foot long scarlet tongues that resembled octopus tentacles, and a pair of tyrannical and murderous eyes.

There was no way, Talos had to use the last resort, the soul fire, the unknown divine power from the ancient giant gods stored in the soul fire to be exact.

The divine power burned in the soul fire, releasing huge energy and magical power, repairing all the wounds on Talos's body in just an instant, and briefly allowing him to experience the power of a fifth-order epic knight!

During the 1,024-day siege, Talos used a total of three divine powers to break out of the desperate situation and finally survive this counterattack.

Just now, Talos sensed the soul fire, and his divine power was really missing three ways.

It's a little strange, isn't what just happened a dream?

"Forget it, the divine power is gone, and there are ancient giant gods, you can continue to smoke. "The situation is urgent, and Talos has no intention of wasting his time on divine power, "The most important thing right now is to use the faith collected over the past seven years to strip [laziness] from the body. ”

The 1024-day siege is really dangerous, desperate, and even worse, according to the law, after one day on the main material plane, Talos will face a dream that lasts for 2048 days, and it is even more dangerous.

Obviously, Talos wasn't entirely sure.

Two months after the time of the Thumb Realm, the Magic Temple, the soul fire bloomed with an extremely pure and soft light, like the morning light, warm and bright, illuminating every inch of space of the temple and flowing in every corner.

After a full two-month break, Talos's mental will was finally fully restored and adjusted to the best condition.

The giant Dream Eater Butterfly perched on a statue of the god of magic—a human on the upper half with two pairs of arms, and a swirling vortex of clouds on the bottom—tightly bound to the temple through the light and will of the soul fire.

Darkly, Talos had a feeling that with the slightest movement of his mind, he could exert influence on the temple, like the realm of legendary mages.

Two rounds of flamelight rushed up from the soul fire, forming two runes, and then being engulfed by the flames again, merging into it.

Second Degree Divine Grace - Enlightenment: The efficiency of initiation and education received by auxiliary priests and believers within the temple is greatly improved, and they will be better able to learn, understand and master relevant knowledge.

Tier 2 Kamui – Weak: Illegal intruders or enemies who offend the gods within the temple area will be weakened by Kamui and their combat power will be greatly reduced.

Talos ignored the two new charisms and powers for a moment, and savored the faith that had gathered from all over the world.

Of the three plane advents, the situation of the Thumb Nation is undoubtedly the most special and complex.

On the one hand, the presence of a large number of mages and the magical civilization itself weakened the belief and influence of the gods, but on the other hand, the feat of Talos' salvation left a heavy mark in history.

When it comes to the history of the Thumb Man, Talos, the god of magic, is a topic that cannot be avoided in any way.

Overall, the faith collection went fairly smoothly.

After absorbing all the beliefs accumulated over the past seven years at one time, the soul fire shone brightly, and its color changed from grass green to emerald green, forming a sea of streamers intertwined, which continued to extend and radiate outward, exposing the Ouroboros hidden deep in the soul fire.

The change awakened the Ouroboros, which had been sleeping, and according to its instinct, it immediately swam towards the center of the soul fire.

Talos didn't want Ouroboros to continue to hide in the soul fire, bringing day after day of dream torment.

As soon as the mind moved, the soul fire changed, and the emerald green streamers intertwined into chains, bursting from all directions, and wrapped around the Ouroboros one by one.

Although the Ouroboros is the embodiment and symbol of "laziness", its power is incredible, and it breaks nine chains with just a flick of its tail and roars again and again.

However, Talos came prepared, and all the faith that had been accumulated for seven years was burned, and the power generated was so powerful that it was completed in one battle!

There were chains on the outside that were constantly wrapped around the huge body of the Ouroboros, and there were impurities of the soul fire calcining desires inside, cutting off the inner connection between the original desire and the soul fire, and soon, the Ouroboros' struggle and resistance were suppressed.

Ten minutes later, the Ouroboros with its hideous bone spurs on its back gradually shrunk, and under the double pressure of soul fire and Talos's will, it reverted to its original chubby, round and cute appearance.

At this time, stripping off [laziness] can be said to be entering the final step, and success is in sight.

Rumble!

With an explosion, an invisible hand grabbed a cloud of smoke out of the soul fire and sealed it into the watch world in one fell swoop.

As soon as the smoke fell into the watch world, it turned into a cute fat snake about a foot long, and immediately coiled into a figure of "8", with its mouth and tail, and fell asleep, without even moving its position.

"Whew-" Talos breathed a sigh of relief and felt a sigh of relief, "I've finally stripped [Laziness] out, and I don't have to worry about being besieged in my dreams in the future." ”

Densely packed with hundreds of thousands of trench merfolk, Talos left an indelible impression.

Fortunately, the goal of this plane advent has been successfully accomplished, and he can turn Sainz back to Sainz at any time if he wants to.

However, before the end of the plane, Talos has one more very important matter to deal with, regarding Mela Lo, Elder Titan 988.

The three divine powers consumed in the dream realm had been replenished, but the almost infinite divine power contained in the ancient giant god was obviously more attractive.

There is no doubt that the sleeping Elder Titan is a treasure mountain, and it has never been Talos's style to enter the treasure mountain and return empty.

The question now is how to continue to extract the value of Baoshan.

Once Talos chooses to return, it will be almost equal to missing out on Elder Titan forever.

Seriously, Talos had already performed three Plane Arrivals, but he still didn't know anything about how to choose the right plane for his Arrivals.

Every time the plane descends, Talos doesn't know how to intervene, let alone how to descend to the Thumb Realm again, and it is all the arrangement of soul fire and fate.

"What if the Elder Titan was encircled in the surface world and returned to the main material plane together?"

A bold idea arose in Talos's mind, and most importantly, it was not without viability.

First of all, the witch is dead, and the Elder Titan has not shown the slightest sign of waking up in seven years, and presumably will not wake up at the moment when the soul fire returns.

Secondly, the slumber of the gods is often counted in ten or hundred years, and only one hundred years have passed until now, and it is very likely that there will be a second or third hundred years.

The most important thing is that if the plan succeeds, then Talos will have endless divine power for some time to come!

This temptation was not insignificant, and it made Talos wonder if the fourth primordial desire [greed] was already manifesting in his body and was affecting his spiritual will.

Profit often comes with risk, and hidden under the great temptation is the terrible danger of putting one's life into it at any time.

Behind the seemingly perfect plan, there are several steps that could turn into murder at any time: the moment when the Elder Titan is encircled in the surface world, and the moment when the soul fire returns to the main material plane across countless time and space restrictions......

Once the Elder Titan awakens, Talos will surely die.

"However, I am not a real person now, and even death will not have much effect on my body. Come to think of it, the timing of the Elder Titan's awakening is crucial. If I wake up at the moment of being circled or returned, I will lose at most this spiritual thought. ”

With the help of lust and greed, Talos almost had to convince himself: "When you think about it, my loss is not too big!"

It is not objective to talk about losses alone, and it needs to be compared with benefits.

To put it more seriously, even if Talos loses this spiritual intent, his goal of descending from the plane to strip [Laziness] has been accomplished, and the body far away in the Black Sea will soon be able to be promoted to a fourth-order great knight.

The only thing that needs to be cared about is whether this half of the soul fire that descended to the Thumb Realm with Talos will be harmed, and whether the Elder Titan will follow the soul fire all the way to the main material plane after waking up.

"But what if everything goes well as planned?"

Talos is caught in a battle between the heavens and the man.
