Chapter 399 The Flame of Hope
The wind on the plateau never stops, and the air currents with tiny grains of sand blow through the silver hair, sliding across the girl's face.
Natsu smoothed his hair and continued to immerse himself in the sea of magic.
"It turns out that the so-called magic element is a wrong name."
After days of research, she discovers a secret about the elements:
"Magic can manipulate elements because they contain a magical element."
"--If the laws of nature drive the elements and produce various phenomena, then the magic factor in the elements will not be effective."
"On the other hand, if the magic factor is at work, using the elements to form various spells, then it is actually an act that goes against nature."
In a sense, magic is a force that upsets the balance of the world.
And the magicians of Faense have taken this power to the extreme!
"Elemental domination is another rule of the magician's creation, contrary to the rules of nature; Therefore, the thirteen human beings who created it were called 'Dharma Gods', on an equal footing with the gods of the world, and even faintly surpassed them. β
"Because except for the god of creation, all the gods will not [create zΓ o], and can only use the power that has been stored in the world, but the thirteen gods have the potential to create the world!"
She took the page away, rubbed the corner of her aching forehead, and began to think of something unrelated:
"Could this be the real reason why the gods are taking action against Faenns?"
"I want to be the only true God...... What's so special about it? β
While she was thinking about it there, the werewolf princess had adapted to the rising currents and began to have a lot of fun there.
"Wow-"
She let out a shout and rushed down from the high air current.
Then it fell to the ground with a thud, blowing up a large cloud of yellow sand, because of sweating. There were a lot of sand on her shiny thighs, and she patted the sand on her legs and body, then found a bigger whirlwind to get into.
"Xia, aren't you coming to play?"
After a long time, she ran back from the wind and sand and touched the head of the silver-haired girl who was struggling.
"Huh?"
Xia raised his head blankly. Get rid of the cumbersome chain of magical reactions.
"I'm still looking at this thing."
The werewolf princess put her arms around her neck, looked at the page, and said:
"It's so strange, blue and blue...... It looks very dazzling. β
"Can you see what's up there?"
Xia stood up from the ground in shock.
"Huh? Is it hard to see. β
Delia, who didn't know what to do, wagged her tail and said:
"Although I can't understand what is written on it, I always feel that it should be something related to ice and snow, and it has a cool atmosphere when I read it."
After saying that, she let go of Xia's neck and took her hand instead:
"Let's go, let's play with me?"
"No, Deria, you sit down here first."
Natsu pinned her to the ground.
"You should be able to write blindly. If you don't understand the handwriting, don't take your eyes off the page, and use your fingers to trace what you see as you look. β
"Is that so?"
Delia stared at the pages for a moment, then stretched out her left hand and scribbled on the ground like a simple picture.
She is left-handed and is more accustomed to using her left hand when she is engrossed.
"Deria has never studied magic, why can she see things on it?"
Xia watched her smoothly copy the secret text on the page, and felt a little incredible.
"It's hard for the lich and me. Did the two of us go in the wrong direction in the first place? β
She recalls the time she met the ancient magician:
"It seems that you have awakened the spirit ......"
After seeing his reaction to the flames, the other party said a word with satisfaction.
"Divine Soul...... Does it refer to the Elemental Awakening? It doesn't feel like much. β
She turned her head to look at Deria's long sky-blue hair and tail. A long-standing impression gradually became associated with this beautiful and lovely strong man:
"Blizzard Princess!"
A name appeared in her mind.
After living and cultivating in the harsh environment of the snow-capped mountains for a long time, the werewolf princess has an unusual affinity for the cold climate and ice and snow.
Not only does she adapt to the freezing temperatures, but she also has a strong resistance to the ice itself, and the ice magic she uses when she first meets her is taken by her with one hand, and she is unharmed.
"At that time, Delia didn't have a blue arc possessed. There is no vindictiveness either; Anyway, it's a little too shocking to take on A-class magic with one hand. β
"Although she doesn't understand magic, she has an unusual resistance to ice magic, which should also be related to her cultivation environment."
"Look, it's done."
Delia lifted her head from the page with a smile, her blue tail moving happily. It seems that he wants to be complimented.
"Lili baby, you're so good."
Natsu held her head in her arms and gently touched her ears.
Then I thought to myself:
"Sure enough, these aren't the secrets of learning the Elemental Domination at all...... It's a treasure that brings people with potential closer to the elements. β
"Fire Elemental Awakening!"
Although she couldn't control the element, she still unleashed her strongest technique in the field of magic.
Compared to the wind element, the fire element, which had awakened at the beginning, was more familiar to her.
Then his eyes stared at the pages on the ground, and he saw rows of fiery crimson secret texts on them.
"Yikes! Summer, you're getting so hot. β
Delia was enjoying her hug when she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
She looked up and touched the hand on her head, and found it hot.
This disturbed Xia's comprehension, and the joints that had already begun to circulate suddenly stuck in an instant.
A huge torrent of flames erupted from the two of them, and a blazing fireball appeared out of thin air and smashed into Natsu's body from behind.
"Boom!"
Due to the angle, the werewolf princess didn't see the fireball, and it was too close to Natsu, and it had already exploded when she sensed something was wrong.
It's like being bombed. The clothes on Natsu's back burst open, revealing a white back, and the flames disappeared as soon as they rushed to her, leaving no traces on the white jade-like skin.
"Failed."
Natsu touched his back with some disappointment, reached out and took off the torn corset, and threw it aside.
There's no one else here anyway. She's not afraid to walk away at all.
"Natsu, I'm sorry ......"
Di Liya herself had also entered the state of comprehension, knowing that she had disturbed the cultivation of the silver-haired girl just now, and said with trepidation.
"It's nothing."
Xia comfortingly stroked the werewolf princess's head, and now the temperature of her body has dropped:
"As long as you get the hang of it, it's the same if you try it later."
Having said that, she was actually secretly frightened:
"It's a good thing I haven't really comprehended the essence of elemental domination, otherwise I would have been hurt just now."
The power of elemental domination far exceeded the scope of ordinary magic, and her physique could not stop it at all. Otherwise, the body temperature would not have risen just now, and that would be the affected table.
As for the out-of-control fireball, it was just an incidental item created after failing to communicate with the elementals, and it didn't hurt her abilities.
"The words that Delia wrote down are also important, Stephanie, write them down."
Xia said to the black-clothed little Lori who was working as an early warning radar in the air.
"Right away, master."
The little loli in black flew down and began to copy the handwriting on it.
"Deria. Are you able to get used to that wind now? β
The silver-haired girl hugged Delia, in order to reduce her self-blame. Kissed her on the mouth.
The two of them had tiny grains of sand on their lips, but that didn't stop them from making out, and after a few shallow kisses, the werewolf princess's tail that had been shaking restlessly finally became soothed, and she patted the ground with a snap, and it seemed that she was in a much better mood.
"If not flying too high. I'm not afraid of the storm at all. β
She rubbed Natsu's cheek and said:
"Believe it or not."
With that, she got up from the ground, ran barefoot into the wind and sand, looked for a very strong air current in the sand, and got in.
"Hey!"
Inside, her body floated into the air with the whirlwind, and after two turns, she stepped on top of the storm barrier.
She kicked hard against the wind wall with her foot. The body rushed through the swirling air flow in the middle until it reached the other side of the storm, and kicked it again, and the body quickly bounced back again; Just bumped into it and played a few times, and finally broke through the shackles of the storm and returned to Xia's side.
"Well, there's no problem at all."
She said with some smugness.
"Master, there's something I want to tell you."
After the black-clothed little Lori completed the task, she came to the two who were chatting and reported to the master:
"It's about food and water......
"You say our supplies will only last 3 months?"
Xia frowned:
"What's going on?"
"Master, you forgot about it."
The little Lori in black counted with her fingers:
"Because of those two big monsters, our food and water are depleted very quickly; The water was fine, as we replenished some of the water when we were in the underground veins, but the food became a little nervous after it was distributed to the two monsters, and the white-haired guy had to go some of it to make the real yΓ n......"
When she said the white-haired guy, she was naturally referring to Sadonan.
"We don't have ready-made materials, so a lot of necessities have to be transformed by alchemy, which is also something that can't be done."
Xia thought for a moment:
"So be it...... There are still a lot of monsters in the Ogre Basin, so let's just go hunting, the wild fruits and vegetables picked are for balanced nutrition, and they can't fill our stomachs when used as staple food, and it's too wasteful. β
Hunting was an easy task for a few people, and it only took a few days for everyone to harvest a lot, and by the way, they also went to the bottom to get some water to replenish it.
However, when the team returned, they encountered a little accident on the Giant Plateau.
A tornado tunnel filled with wind and sand suddenly collapsed, almost causing them to fall.
Then several massive heads emerged from the turbulent air current, struggling to crawl out of the crypt.
"What a monster."
Delia's eyes lit up and she said:
"Can they eat it?"
"Eat your head!" The black cat rushed out angrily:
"Run, that's the Hundred-Eyed Giant!"
These giants are one size smaller than Artodoron, but they are still not comparable to ordinary monsters; The eyes on their bodies are about 50-60 and should belong to the elite subordinates of the King of Giants.
A few people fled from the side, and under the chase of six or seven hundred-eyed giants, they left the yellow sand-filled plateau, and ran into the narrow passage out of breath.
Seeing them approaching the edge of the region, the giants stopped their pursuit and slowly dispersed in the wind and sand.
"There are too many...... Otherwise, it's a lot of experience. β
Natsu sat on the ground panting, watching those giants leave with a little regret, and there was a feeling that he had missed out on a lot of experience and soul balls.
"The soul essence of the giant must be strengthened and physical, and I am lacking these things right now."
She patted the dirt on her body regretfully, stood up from the ground, and led the group to continue walking back.
The next day.
"Mate, you think you can see those traps?"
The lich asked with some skepticism:
"If you want to learn the skills of the Dharma gods, it is not something that can be done in days or months, it takes a long time to accumulate ......."
ββ¦β¦ I can only see the trap of the fire elemental, and I have not learned the elemental domination. β
Natsu put on the gloves that he had long since discarded, and released a small flame on them.
The flame was quickly extinguished, but the lich must have understood what it meant.
Although it is only a small flame, it represents the hope that everyone will continue to move forward.
"In that case, why not keep learning? You have the potential, and if you study it seriously for a year and a half, you should be able to apply it to combat in the first place. β
The lich persuaded her to:
"Even if you can't reach the Cheng dΓΉ of the Dharma God, you are definitely much stronger than ordinary magicians, and you will get twice the result with half the effort when you want to do it when the time comes."
"I don't think that's necessary, because what I'm best at right now isn't magic, and I don't have much experience here...... Ahem! There is no environment suitable for improving strength, so I think it is better to rush as much as possible. β
Natsu was the captain, and the reason he said was indeed tenable, so the lich didn't say anything more.
Several people waited in the safety area in front of the passage for about a week, and in order to ensure safety, Xia did many times during the period, and explored a relatively safe route in the fire element passage.
On this day, good news finally came from the black jungle.
Sadonan appeared in front of everyone with some dark circles under her eyes, followed by four half-elf girls surrounded by black spirits, her mental wounds seemed to have fully recovered, and she showed a beautiful and moving smile when she saw Xia Hou.
"You don't have a heart, do you, Nana?"
The first thing Natsu did was pull her aside and run his hands around her body, as if to make sure she wasn't hurt.
"You still say!"
Natia Vida grabbed her mischievous hand and slapped her angrily:
"Leave me alone in that boring place, I still want to ask you...... Honestly, have you kissed me with Lili baby? It's better to tell me the truth, and I'll ask her directly. (To be continued......) R1292
