Chapter 16 Catch up in time

Because the Outsider said that in addition to using ancient runes to further strengthen and improve, magical abilities can also be improved through their own conscious exercise.

And I think everyone actually knows that when the ability is still weak at the beginning, exercise should be the most effective. It's like the average person who wants to become strong at the beginning of fitness, as long as they stick to it and exercise scientifically, then it will soon be fruitful.

However, if you continue to exercise after a certain level, the effect will begin to weaken and become smaller and smaller.

Of course, fitness and magical ability training should be two completely different systems.

But Mo Chen still couldn't help but wonder, did he suffer a loss? Shouldn't you rely on your own ability to raise your magic to a limit......

Relying on the power of ancient runes to strengthen it is the option to maximize the benefits?

However, after struggling for a while, he sighed and picked up the second rune, ready to continue.

It really didn't make sense to accumulate this thing, and it carried such a rune on his body that was thicker than half a brick...... It's really cumbersome.

Besides, they have all started to strengthen just now, even if they really suffer losses, they can't be recovered at this time, so there is really nothing to worry about.

Having said that, Mo Chen has also had many times that he has not had a good game experience, and he usually thinks that for a certain goal, he wants to save up the materials or skill points he collects and use them later.

As a result, many times before that, it was an accident to hang up...... In this case, it is better to use those things at the beginning and improve your strength to the greatest extent.

Now is the critical time, don't look at him just like a ghost, but it's just that the guys he is facing are an unsuspecting rabble, so it seems that everything is going well.

If Mo Chen really had crushing strength or legendary-level stealth skills, it wouldn't be like just now.

In fact, he can only avoid a real confrontation with the guards, avoid disturbing the enemy moving in groups, otherwise he will be at a disadvantage. But even for such a goal, he himself did not have much confidence.

It can only be said that he is indeed stronger than ordinary people now, but his strength is really limited.

Not to mention just facing it, he doesn't even have much experience in acting in the shadows, and can only make up for it by his magical ability.

Besides, even a legendary assassin like the section chief or Uncle Daode is prone to a deadly crisis if he is unprepared or unintentional.

Magic is not omnipotent, either.

When he had just obtained the Outsider Demon Mark, Mo Chen did have a tendency to swell, and after a trip on the edge of life and death, his emotions were indeed abnormal, and he even had an urge to vent well.

But now, he has calmed down a lot.

Or should I say that from the fact that he was in the underground vault just now, because he didn't need to fight, he was able to get what he needed and deal with the enemy, which made him calm down somewhat.

If he had been through a dangerous battle just now, he might have become even more impulsive.

"Forget it, hurry up and complete the reinforcement, and then go return the heart."

He made up his mind not to think about it anymore, and the rest of the process was quite quick.

As the ancient runes disappeared piece by piece, Mo Chen also felt that the upper limit of his magic power was breaking through the limit again and again, but it seemed that the effect was constantly decreasing, although the amplitude was very slight.

But Mo Chen did notice it, but this was also an expected development, so he was not surprised.

Moreover, the power of the runes has not been wasted, when the upper limit of mana is broken to a certain level, the remaining rune power seems to be used to strengthen other aspects of magic ability or permanent enhancement gains.

It feels as if the body is getting stronger and stronger, and the senses are becoming more and more sensitive, and even the magical abilities that are mastered are becoming more and more like a finger -

Even if he didn't use the ability now, he could know it, because the feeling of becoming more and more comfortable was like breath and blood, as natural as instinct.

Only he was wondering, until all the six ancient runes were consumed, he didn't develop new abilities.

This is also something that can be confirmed, after all, if the magic ability is mastered, then it will naturally let the user know, just like Mo Chen directly mastered the void perception and flickering teleportation before.

This made him a little confused, but he didn't bother much, thinking that maybe it was because he needed more runes for ascension.

It's just that a terrifying magic ability that has mastered the level of "time warp" like a section chief, how many ancient runes have been eaten? Something doesn't seem quite reasonable.

Standing up, patting his body, and taking a deep breath, Mo Chen looked at the mechanical heart next to him, and grabbed it after hesitating.

Although Danwall City, the most prosperous capital of the empire, there must be a lot of magical items in this city, and if you continue to collect it, the number of ancient runes can at least increase several times.

But he didn't plan to continue, the main thing for now was to return this heart to its true owner, and by the way, choose to take sides during this imperial transformation.

If you continue to drag on, you may not have a chance to leave the city.

……

……

Walking out of the room, Mo Chen jumped directly onto the railing of the terrace, like an agile civet cat, and quickly identified the direction with the help of height.

The direction of the "door" is at the edge of the dock, and if the section chief or Emily escapes, they will first move towards the dock to the "Dreadful Whipmark".

That is, in the same direction? Merely...... Are you looking too far?

Mo Chen habitually squinted his eyes slightly, looked at it carefully, and then found that it was indeed not an illusion.

My eyesight has really become extremely sharp, and I can see even the tall buildings in the distance, and confirm the safety of the foothold.

Invisibly, the distance he was able to reach safely by teleporting seemed to have been greatly stretched.

It's not just visual ability, it's just that 90% of the information people receive from the outside world comes from vision, so it is the most intuitive and obvious. In fact, however, when the senses are far sharper than they used to be—

It is true that people can detect noticeable changes in their perception of other aspects of themselves.

It was as if at this time, Mo Chen also suddenly heard a slight sound from the end of the corridor behind him, which was the movement of people going up the stairs.

But he didn't even need to look back to be able to clearly determine the distance between the guy and himself.

And be able to guess how many seconds it will take for that guy to reach this level, and he can see himself when he looks here at the end of the side...... It's amazing, he behaves calmly, and there is not even a trace of nervousness.

Human fear comes from the unknown.

However, if you can clearly check the information around you, identify the source of danger, and have sufficient conditions to deal with it, you will not be too concerned.

So Mo Chen didn't look back at all, he just tried his best to look out from the railing, and quickly determined a safe foothold for a tall building in the distance.

The next moment, his figure flickered and disappeared into thin air.

"Huh?!"

In the darkness at the end of the hallway behind him, a guard blinked, and the last step he had just taken froze there. He stared out on the terrace at the end of the opposite side in a daze, and it took a few seconds before he showed a puzzled expression.

Immediately after, the guy drew his sharp city police sword, held his pistol, and cautiously approached step by step, out of the terrace.

And yet nothing happened, and no one did.

"Is that wrong?"

He muttered in a low voice, although he still had some doubts, but his eyes and body relaxed somewhat. Then, with the mindset of what to expect, he searched the level a little.

And what this man could never have known was some ghostly ghost he had just seen that didn't exist......

At this time, it has crossed several vast urban areas, and approached the dock harbor of Danwall City in a way that ordinary people can't imagine.

……

……

In the case that the magic power was relatively abundant, Mo Chen found that the ability to flicker and teleport was so refreshing, simple and direct, that no one could detect it.

And if you can confirm that the location point of the teleportation is safe, then you can directly cross a very long distance.

It's not like in the game, it's always limited by the terrain, the blocking of the level, etc., and in fact no one can notice the way it moves.

The only problem is adaptability, but this is not a problem either, if he can't adapt, then Mo Chen won't be like now, flickering and teleporting between buildings above the city.

More and more proficient, and more and more confident.

In the process, he managed to return to the same place he had come from.

There was a dead silence on the streets, with the doors of all the buildings closed, the streets were filled with blood pools of blood, and in the distance there were city police officers blocking the road to the dock harbor.

According to the medical box he left, Mo Chen confirmed that no one had been on the roof and the relative position of the "door", but he still tested it as fast as he could.

He was undeniably relieved when he found that his palm had plunged into the air and then disappeared like that, rippling like water ripples in the air.

To be honest, it was only a two-hour trip to another world, and he always felt as if he had been reborn again.

Sighing, he quickly returned to his home with the medical kit, checked to make sure that his home was indeed no sign of invasion, and then turned back again.

Once you're at ease, it's time to get back to what you did before, and it's not time to rest.

Looking for a place overlooking the entire harbor, Mo Chenzai carefully studied for a while, and finally found that there was a steamer floating on the sea far from the shore.

The Whipmark of Terror is still at sea, that is, the section chief or the empress have not escaped from the tower? Didn't get on board?

Otherwise, the ship would have been gone long ago.

"Wait, like that?"

Mo Chen, who was thinking, suddenly stared, even if he was hundreds of meters away, he keenly saw that there was a figure under the sea that was diving rapidly, as vigorous as a swimming fish, approaching the ship rapidly.

The guards on the docks, perhaps on the alert for a while, did not notice anything, but now they have lost their attention and have not noticed this fact at all.

That should be the section chief or the empress.

Mo Chen's eyes lit up slightly, and then he looked at the mechanical heart in his hand, and he had a feeling that he had caught up in time.
