"Franklin, make the crack smaller! I suspect that these breaths will pollute our world. Alvin shouted to Franklin.

"No problem! Do you need me to put a probe eye behind the rift or something, behind this rift may be an area that we have never covered before" Franklin adjusted the spell model to one-third the size of the rift.

Barbara stepped forward and attached a magic pipe to the outside of the crack and attached a collection bottle to the end of the pipe.

"Franklin, you're being reckless, we're not going to be dealing with a simple fever potion. It's not clear how harmful this thing is until now, and you should wait until we're ready to do it. Barbara said to Franklin.

"Okay, let's see the situation first. Franklin, you fix the spatial barriers around the rift first, they're too fragile. Barbara, the collected breath is up to you to analyze, so please don't be polite if you need our help. Alvin said in the middle.

With the efforts of the three Grand Arcanists, the situation on the scene progressed rapidly. The nearby spatial barrier has been strengthened, and the collection and preliminary detection of this otherworldly aura have also come to a conclusion.

"Franklin, turn the rift off, we've gathered enough otherworldly breath. We're probably going to go to Gardes and report the situation to the council, and Alvin and I think this might not be a special case, and maybe the rest of the empire will seep in. And judging from the amount of breath that poured into the rift just now, there may be a lot of this breath in the outside world of Ryan. I'd suggest that the Council send someone to the Astral Plane to see what's going on out there. Barbara said to Franklin.

"Okay, I'll close the rift. What about this otherworldly aura? Franklin said as he closed the spatial rift.

"In a way, it's a unique material. It is very inactive, but all mana and aura will be extinguished, and there will be no obvious product after it is extinguished. We have also found that this smell can contaminate any insulation materials, but it is unclear what the consequences of this contamination will be. Barbara said as she sealed the bottle that contained the otherworldly breath.

"That means there's nothing we can do to keep this aura out of Ryan at the moment, right? I sensed it when I was maintaining the spatial rift just now, and this kind of thing is also very corrosive to the spatial barrier. The spatial barrier of Ryan's average concentration may only last for about three months. Of course, if you count the ability of the world barrier to recover automatically, it will last longer, but I think we still need to think of something as soon as possible. Franklin said dejectedly. At this time, he has long lost the vigor he had at the beginning.

"I don't think it's something the three of us can solve. We will report this problem to the Parliament, and we may be able to solve the problem with the strength of the Parliamentary Research Institute. Alvin said, "If the scene is done, we can go back to the Ring of Earth." ”

There was another wave of spatial fluctuations, and a spatial passage to the ring of the earth was formed under the leadership of Franklin. Everyone entered the passageway, and in a trance, they had disappeared into the swampy field.

Gardes, Institute of Parliamentary Studies.

At this time, in a laboratory of the Council Research Institute, seven Grand Arcanists were gathered, namely Blair and Barbara of the Elemental System, Alvin of the Nature Department, Franklin of the Space Department, Shaun of the Necromantic Department, of the Astral System, and Douglas, the Imperial Speaker of the Arcane System.

"So Alvin, what do you call this otherworldly aura?" Blair asked.

"We haven't given a proper name yet, how about Breath of Perdition." Alvin suggested.

"Breath of Perdition, good name. So Franklin, you said that this aura is more corrosive to space than the abyssal aura we've been exposed to before, right? Blair continued.

"Yes, Blair. Normally, one mole of Breath of Destruction can corrode 0.35 units of spatial mana. And the breath of the most corrosive Sinking Demon we have ever come into contact with can only pollute 0.2 units with ten moles. However, the space polluted by the Sinking Demon will have some abyssal aura. But the Breath of Destruction doesn't, they simply corrode the space. Only thin space barriers or hollows are left. Franklin said.

"Then Alvin, Sean. Do you have any conclusions about the erosion of living things by this breath of destruction? Blair asked the two Grand Arcanists.

"This thing has a great impact on both animals and plants. They reduce the growth rate and seed setting rate of the plant. Plants that have been in the Breath of Sinking for a long time (more than three days) will even die outright. Animals will enter a certain period of madness after inhaling an excessive dose (usually two moles) of sinking breath, and after the madness period ends, they will quickly enter a state of functional decline. Continued inhalation of the breath of perdition will accelerate this decline until death. Judging from the three hundred and sixty-one common animals and plants tested so far, the blue silver grass in plants and the Acala frog in animals are very sensitive to the breath of dying, and can be used as indicator organisms. Alvin replied, "The Blue Silver Grass loses color when it exceeds 0.1 moles of Sinking Breath around it. The Acala Frog, on the other hand, is more sensitive, and a 0.03 mole of Breath of Sinking will cause it to go berserk and die quickly. ”

"Judging from the 3 test subjects I applied for, ordinary people don't have much resistance to this breath. This gas quickly melts into the blood circulation after entering the body and begins to disturb the nervous system. Therefore, after ingesting about 0.5 moles of Sinking Breath, the human body will experience slight cognitive impairment and hallucinations. If the dose is increased to two moles, the human body will not be able to carry out normal cognitive and communication activities, and from this time on, the person's memory will gradually be lost. At this time, even if the breath of sinking is no longer ingested, it will be difficult for the human body to recover on its own. I speculate that it will take about ten to twenty years for the human body to return to normal after being connected to a life-sustaining device. However, if some illusions can be added to make them think that they have returned to normal in the hallucination, then this spontaneous recovery process will be greatly accelerated, and I estimate that it will only take three months to return to normal. However, it is uncertain whether it will be intact in the end. Sean said.

"I'll add that after ingesting more than four moles of Breath of Descent, the subject also went into a state of madness, and the situation after that was similar to what Alvin said, with a lethal dose of about seven moles. After madness, the human body cannot recover on its own. The effect of using healing spells is also not obvious, and healing plus illusions will allow the subject to exit the madness early, but the symptoms will not be relieved. It can be said that after entering the madness, the people will almost not come back. Sean added.

"Then it's up to us elementals. We did some experiments with it. The reaction to discovering the Breath of Perdition and other magical powers is truly a reaction of annihilation. But it is not clear why it is not energetic and why it is simply corroded to non-energetic objects. Prima facie, this is a breath with a certain negative energy characteristic. But this breath is not active, which is not in line with our previous knowledge of negative energy. At the same time, there is no periodic relationship between this breath and all the elements found so far. Even a few of the negative energy substances we find will be annihilated by the Breath of Destruction, and even the consumption of it when it is extinguished is about the same. It may consume about 0.0001 moles less when the negative energy is extinguished. And it and any energy is extinguished without any obvious product, and we even doubt that this breath follows the conservation of energy. Speaking of this, Blair complained: "So Cohen, do you have any conclusions about the distribution of this aura in the astral plane?" ”
