One hundred and second Sula storm
Later generations will speak of Attas and regard the year in which Muhadi and Sadiri arrived at the Pure Fortress as the first year of history.
- Abu Bekr, The History of Atas
The arrogant attacks came one after another, and Muhadi only dodged those physical attacks, but ignored the soul attacks.
"It's amazing, man, that you're not afraid of my soul touch. "Arrogance communicates directly with the Psychic Warlock on a mental level. "I know you're pretending to be useless...... I can feel the arrogance in you...... The longer you hold on now, the more damage you'll end up taking. ”
The arrogant claws left deep marks on the walls and floor, and al-Muhadi was fortunate to turn his body into nothingness. The Sin's attack paused slightly, and he was brewing the next wave of his offensive.
The Psychic Warlock leaned his back against the wall, taking advantage of the gap to recuperate. He shrugged his shoulders slightly in the face of arrogance. "You don't know my heart, that's why you're pretending to be lazy and putting words out of my mouth. But thou hast speculated on my thoughts in thy own heart, accusing me of the great sin of arrogance. Isn't that a contradiction? If you really knew that arrogance was in my heart, you wouldn't even need to disguise it at first. ”
Arrogant no, but Muhati inexplicably felt that he had angered the other party.
The pale blue figure shows the ability to summon a bright blue white ball out of nothing, containing the power to destroy Miè. Even in the void state, the psychic warlock could sense its dangerous aura and did not dare to risk being hit by that orb.
Arrogantly threw the white ball, and Muhati ducked to the side. The bog's body movement wasn't too fast, and it consumed his aura, so he restored himself. The psychic mancer rolled on the spot and came to a corner in the hallway.
"Denial is the first reaction of a person after being exposed. Sinner. Arrogant shouted. "Do you think you're good enough to contradict me?"
"I don't think I'm great at all. Muhadi dodged as he replied. "Among the adventurers who came with me, there were people who were far stronger than me. So I can't help but wonder, what is your strength in the Seven Sins Sect, why did you come to deal with me, an invulnerable intruder?"
Arrogance released several more balls of light, which seemed to have a certain tracking ability. No matter how Muhati dodged, those nasty things always followed. The Psychic Sorcerer remained calm, leaning his back against a wall until the final moment when he was about to be focused by the ball of light, when he showed his gravity-altering ability to dodge.
Instead of catching up with the dodging Psychic Warlock, a ball of light hit the wall behind him. The destructive power of the ball of light and the protective magic attached to the wall reacted violently, and after a loud bang, a crack exploded in the seemingly impregnable wall.
Once again, Muhadi manifested his power, blurring his body and drifting through the cracks that had been blasted out of the walls.
"Is dodging your style?" shouted Arrogant. "Do you think evasion will bring you victory? man, man!"
Muhadi ignored him, concentrating, and sent a command to his spirit servant.
When he dodged, he left the Spirit Crystal Servant on the other side of the wall, for now.
Receiving the signal from his master, the Spirit Crystal Servant took the place of the Psychic Warlock, and a violent explosion was born in less than a blink of an eye.
The psychic warlock took advantage of the moment of the explosion to enhance his physical strength and began to run with his legs drawn. He was going to leave his arrogance far behind. It's a pity to lose the Spirit Crystal Servant, but it's better than giving up your life.
Unfortunately, it backfired, and the arrogance only calmed down for a moment, and then his voice echoed in Muhadi's head.
"You won't forget, I can see a movement in this fortress, right?" the mocking voice was accompanied by inhuman laughter. "Walls can't stop me from seeing or moving!"
The psychic sorcerer ran for his life, and the passage in front of him was locked by a black door, and the heavy and massive metal knocker was the size of a man's head. As soon as Muhati tried to pull it away, Arrogance quickly unleashed a magnetizing ability. The two metal knockers were instantly absorbed together by a strong magnetic force, and the door was sealed and could not be opened.
Muhadi looked back and saw that the pale blue shadow of arrogance was approaching in a ghostly degree.
The Psychic Warlock concentrates and reveals the simplest of abilities to heat the magnetized metal knocker. In the face of strong willpower, in less than a moment, the two heavy iron rings turned hot red and lost their magnetism. The black door slammed open, and Muhadi burst out from behind it.
"You can't escape!" Arrogant almost caught up. "I'm in everyone's heart!"
His name is arrogant, Muhati thought, maybe the more I think I will be able to get rid of him, the more I will be caught by him?
It's not logical, the psychic thought, I'll figure it out.
There was another corner ahead, and Muhati rushed too fast and had to kick the wall with his foot to reverse direction. Entering the next corridor, the psychic mancer almost collided with the man in front of him.
"Sadiri?" Muhati was taken aback, he didn't expect to run into the other party here.
"Shhhhh "I can stop arrogance, but you have to do what I say. ”
The Psychic Warlock could feel that his opponent was constantly after all, and the current situation did not allow him to hesitate more, so he just nodded silently.
The Coral Witch shook her head, and the show spread out like a golden wave. Although her face was unhealthily pale, her beauty did not seem to have diminished in the slightest.
Seeing no movement from her, Muhathir felt a silent buzz around him. The nearby walls also became unclear, and trembled slightly as if the air was rising through heat.
The arrogant pale blue figure appeared in front of Muhadi's eyes, and he looked around vigilantly, like a beast looking for prey. But it was clear that the two Muhadi were in front of him, but he looked blankly as if he was blind.
Arrogance seemed to be filled with agitation, and his nostrils fluttered. "You know, I can smell you. He shouted. "Can't you just come out and face me like a man, man?"
Following Sadili's instructions, the Psychic remained motionless. He felt as if he had collapsed into a point, no sound, no breathing, no heartbeat.
The pale blue figure paced restlessly, its sharp claws leaving deep marks on the walls and floor. After a while, as if deciding that Muhathir was not here, he turned around in anger and left.
The psychic mancer remained motionless, not making a sound. It turned out that he had done the right thing, and after a while, the arrogant blue horned head reached out again, and seeing that there was still no trace of the psychic warlock, he completely died.
"I blocked out his perception. Sadiri let out a long sigh of relief. "He doesn't notice us now. ”
"It helped me a lot. Muhati thanked him, "But I have to admit that I didn't plan to meet you here." Not long ago, I was thinking about going to Kamila-sama. ”
The Coral Witch smiled narrowly, making the whole space seem to light up a little. "Do you want to see Master Camilla, but don't you want to see me?
"No, I just don't dare to expect such a good thing to happen to me. Muhati said with a shrug. "It's okay to sue you, I want to find Camilla, it's not a good thing. I'm going to ambush and kill her. ”
Satili didn't look particularly surprised, "I know your conflicts, but can't we really put our disputes aside? Atas is the home of all of us, and the Witch King is our common enemy. She fiddled with her head. "Why did you risk killing her?"
"She's an evolutionist, a Starch Spencer druid. If I don't kill her, she will kill me sooner or later. Maybe it's after finding the secret in the fortress. Muhati paused. "Nature does not believe in tears, so the Starch Spencer Druids are not merciful. ”
"Not to mention what she'll do if she gets the secrets in the fortress. The Psychic Warlock said that he did not mention the mark that the female druid had left on his forearm.
"You're judging someone for a crime they haven't yet born. Satili whispered.
"Don't talk about that. Muhadi was a little confused. "Why are you here? Why can you block out the perception of arrogance?"
Sadiri holds her forehead with one hand, as if organizing language. "I also happened to pass by here, but I didn't expect to meet you, this can be regarded as the arrangement of fate. As for how I deal with arrogance, there is too much professional knowledge of spells behind it. In the future, I can explain it to you, and for now, all you have to do is know that this is magic. ”
In the future, I can explain it to you. Muhathir chewed on this sentence, and Sadiri would say this, which was really much beyond his expectations. In the mind of the Psychic Warlock, the Coral Witch never seemed to be so kind to him.
The psychic sorcerer straightened up and patted the dust. Fang Cai's series of fights and chases were not a friendly environment for his robes, and many places were broken. There were also a lot of abrasions and contusions on the body wrapped under the clothes. Decency is the last thing I need right now, Psilomancer on the bright side.
But on the other hand, Coral Witch is much more decent than his current situation. First, her robe was undamaged and intact. Secondly, there are no scars on her body. Just slightly pale and a little tired. For a man who trekked through the salt sea and repeatedly drained her life force to cast spells, she seemed to be in good health.
Healthy and beautiful.
The sooner they find the secrets in the fortress, the sooner they can get out of here.
"Did you meet the guards in the fortress?" asked Muhathir as she walked along with Sadiri. "Are you hurt?" the terrain gradually ascended, and the road here was different from all the roads he had traveled before, there were no stairs, just a gentle upward movement.
"I have only encountered one, the sin of rage. The sù sù the sorceress told the Psychic Warlock that she was holding one hand against the wall, and the magic ring on her finger was glowing. It's strange, Muhati thought, why I never noticed this before. "Don't worry about my injuries, the revolution has not yet succeeded, and I will definitely not fall. ”
"Your will is strong. Muhathir commented sincerely. "Maybe you can be a powerful psychic if you hadn't chosen the path of magic. ”
"You can also be a good mage, if you are willing to learn magic. The Coral Witch let out a silver bell-like laugh, and then she said. "You're smart. ”
"You've never complimented me like that. Muhadi raised an eyebrow and said in a somewhat surprised voice.
"It's not a compliment, intelligence is just an innate attribute of people, just like being tall. Something that you don't work hard to get is not something to be proud of. Sadiri chuckled.
Muhati was stunned when he heard this, and then he reacted. "You're kidding me. ”
"Really? I thought psychic magicians couldn't tell the difference between jokes. Sadiri said. "The way you usually give people ...... Quite gray. ”
"We psychic warlocks are very unemotional," Muhadi shrugged. "Anyone who looks at our minds sees only a reflection of themselves. ”
"Now you've learned to be sarcastic?" said Sadiri. "Maybe my previous impression of a psychic warlock was a little too narrow. ”
Muhati had never been so alone with the Coral Witch, and such a conversation made him feel inexplicably relaxed. The Psychic Warlock remembered the story of how he had traveled back in time and handed over the magic book to the other party. He was hesitating if it was a good time to bring it up.
Before he could speak, it was the Coral Witch who spoke first. "I haven't asked you. Do you regret participating in this adventure?"
"Nope. As soon as the other man's voice fell, Muhadi replied.
"Sure enough, being a psychic warlock has the advantage of that. There is no remorse or doubt in your hearts. Sadiri said. "If only I had the ability to do that...... Sometimes even I wonder if some of my decisions were wrong. ”
The Psychic Warlock gave Satili another look in surprise, he had never seen such an expression on the other side's face. Today's Coral Witch's table is too abnormal, what exactly did she encounter?
Arrogance found me. Muhathir thought. So what was Satilly's sin? Furious? Somehow, the Psychic Warlock felt that this crime didn't seem to have anything to do with the female mage. The Coral Witch seemed to be forever perfect, almost glittering, and apart from her hatred of unjust slavery, the Psychic Warlock had never seen her fire at anyone.
Muhadi carefully organized the wording, "You can have thoughts of regret that show that you care." No one is perfect, but we can live forever in the pursuit of perfection. ”
Sadiri was silent for a moment, and Muhathir thought she might be thinking about her own words. The atmosphere was a little strange, and after the two had walked a distance of about five hundred paces, Satili broke the silence again, as if driven by curiosity.
"You never spoke to me about yourself, Muhadi. You sued me once before, and your memory is not clear. Has this changed since I went to Atki?" said Sadiri. "Maybe we can talk about that. ”
She still remembers the conversation we had when we first met, which made Mohamadi admire her memory a little.
"I'm afraid my life is too dull to compare with you...... Attas, an unprecedented revolutionary. "The Psychic Warlock doesn't intend to divulge the secrets of his own crossing. "Atki's trip didn't make my situation any better. ”
"Surely you have some stories worth telling? The Coral Witch prompted him to continue. "Even a psychic has a life of his own. ”
"Well, it's actually nothing special, going to different places and meeting different people. The Psychic Warlock said in a flat tone. "There's nothing to remember me for.
If it hadn't come from the mouth of a man who called himself a prophet, I might have believed it. Satilinunu said. "You said you should go to different places and meet different people. Isn't there any of these people that make you feel special?"
This question actually made Muhathir feel a little headache, "Well, this is it, it's hard to say......" He muttered a few times, and then couldn't continue.
"What about that tribal girl, Fatoumah, isn't she a special person, and your psionic companion, Aisha. Sadiri asked in a sly tone. "What are they to you?"
"I didn't know you knew so much about my private affairs. Mohathir said.
This is not an answer. Sadiri said.
"Well, both of them are special, but they are different. The Psychic had no choice but to admit it.
"Do you love them?"
Muhadi abruptly stopped, then paused before moving forward again.
"It's strange that a psychic warlock would be embarrassed. Sadiri smiled lightly. "There's no need to be embarrassed to admit that many men are in love with two or more women. ”
"I think it shows that a lot of men don't know how to love," Muhadi said, touching his chin, "at least not the kind of love they think they know." ”
"It's profound. But you're still dodging the question. Satili asked.
"Well, I see Aisha as a rare friend, and I can trust her with my back. She also deserves my admiration and respect. Muhathir said. "As for Fatoumah, I treat her like a relative. She's like my sister. ”
"But I've heard," said the Coral Witch. "She slept with you, and you slept with your own sister?"
In an instant, Muhadi's mind was ridiculously filled with the content of the Nibelungen's song. Haven't you read "The Valkyries", he thought, Sigmund and Siglind, Snetdbraut, sister bride. "She's not my sister after all, and I'm willing to play the role she wants me to be. ”
"Don't you even have the courage to face your feelings?" said Sadiri. "Or do you really love no one but yourself?
"Maybe yes, maybe not. I hope not. The psychic mancer replied.
"So," Satili asked, one last question. "Do you like me?"
Muhadi turned around, his face cold. "You're not Sadiri. ”
A look of surprise flashed across the other party's face, followed by a smile as bright as the sun. No matter who the person who pretends to be a coral witch, her appearance is exactly like the real thing, and she is so beautiful that it is suffocating. "Is it there? When did you notice it?"
"Long enough that I didn't quite tell you the truth. Muhathir said. "You are one of the Seven Sins!"
"Someone else calls me **," the sinner, with Satilly's face, took a step closer. "My original name, I've long forgotten it. ”
"Why would you help me deal with arrogance?" Muhadi leaned his back against the wall, ready to do it at any time, but his aura was too depleted, and if the other party didn't do it first, he would be happy to get some respite.
"Why not?" ** said with a hint of teasing. "I've been stuck here for a long time, and I don't have anything to do anyway. ”
"Although my name is **, my essence is love. Eros is one, isn't it?" she continued. "Love doesn't hurt you, at least not voluntarily. ”
"If you're not going to attack me. Muhadi said to him, "Then I'll go." I don't have time to chat with you here. ”
"You can go whenever you want. ** said. "But without my help, you'll never be able to uncover the secrets of this fortress. ”
The psychic warlock had already taken a few steps back, and when he heard this, he stopped again. "What does that mean?" he said, as much as he could.
"You've been in this fortress for a while. Haven't you seen it yet?"** Unraveled a mystery. "It's a huge labyrinth, and there's no road to its core. To get there, you can only go through the guò portal. ”
The psychic warlock tries to tell the truth of the words from the expressions of the other party, and the human face has forty-four muscles, which are more honest than the mouth. But the Sin Sect is not human, is her expression a true expression, or is it the result of careful calculation? He cautiously tried to read his mind with psionic energy, but now that the other party was also a psychic person, he did not dare to act rashly.
"You may be lying. Muhathir couldn't believe the other side. "Maybe I'm almost there. ”
She gestured to why you stopped and listened to herself. Well, Psychiocher, you've got me asked, and I do want to hear what she has to say. Perhaps this is part of the Seven Sins Sect's abilities, and they can compel those who come to hear what they have to say.
"I can tell you how to open that portal. ** said. "But you can also let me not sue you. ”
Muhati was amused. "Why did I choose not to tell me?
"If you go through the portal and enter the heart of the fortress, you will surely die. "** Positive color road. "It's impossible for someone as smart as you not to notice the changes in your body after entering the fortress. ”
The Psychic Warlock's tone immediately raised, "What change! What do you know?"
"I know your soul has been trembling in the depths of your soul ever since you entered this fortress. You're hiding it so well that no one in your company shows up, and even you don't know if it's a hallucination. But I sue you, it's true!"
"Do you feel the fatigue and fatigue in your body disappearing? Have you ever felt tired after walking here for so long, and have you ever been troubled by the wounds you left in the battle?"
"As we speak, I sense that you are rebuilding your Spiritual Complexion...... Think about it, have you been able to reply so quickly before?" "You think you're getting stronger? Wrong! Big mistake! Sinner, it's your essence that is dissipating. Your part as a human being is falling apart. She actually looked at Muhati with sympathetic eyes, and with Sadiri's beautiful face, almost all men could not resist.
"Alarmist. Muhadi said indifferently. "I am my own master, and the dangers I speak of are not as good as jokes. ”
"Really?" sneered. "Primordial Warlock, isn't he a joke to you?"
The psychic mancer's pupils immediately narrowed, and he took a step forward. "About the Primordial Warlock...... What do you know?"
"I know he's been here before, leaving behind his life box, that's why he's summoned the Seven Sins Sect to defend the Pure Fortress. "**Sue sù Psychic Warlock. "I also know that he planted his own seed in your heart!"
At this point, there is no point in denying it. "How do you know?!" Muhati asked.
"Just like how I know what is going on in Satilly's mind, in order to be able to imitate others perfectly, my ability to read minds is beyond the reach of all things. ** said, she also stepped forward, and Muhadi could almost feel the other party's breath. "You want to know what will happen when you enter the core? The primordial warlock will control you, and you will be his instrument to release himself. ”
A tremor from the depths of his soul spread throughout the psychic warlock's body, the pulse of the seed from the primordial warlock. If it weren't for the fact that he had been stripped of his fear, Muhati would have felt a shudder in his heart.
What she said was most likely true, the psychic warlock realized in shock. I can already clearly feel a desire and excitement that does not belong to me echoing in every nerve of my own. This longing, once ignored by itself because it was inaudible, now intensified, amplified as it approached the core of the fortress.
"What if I want you not to sue me?" Muhati asked.
"Then I'll get out of here with you. Said **. "With your help, I was able to break the spell of bondage and be freed from here. ”
"You know what?" she continued, her demeanor and tone almost as indistinguishable from that of the Coral Witch. "I wasn't created by the spell of the primordial warlock. I was trapped by his magic, so I had to guard this place. ”
"You know? The Sins Sect can't communicate with each other, and the Primordial Warlock may be worried that we can break his spells by joining forces. She tilted her head and let it hang over her shoulders. "Can you imagine this loneliness when you're stuck here?"
"In my memory, I was the envy of a princess. Born under the reign of the King of the Yellow in the great city of Kakosha. My suitors gathered until the magic of the primordial warlock summoned me here to serve as his guard. For thousands of years I was trapped here, watching the oceans dry up, the earth turn into deserts, and the sun turning from blue to yellow, from yellow to red. ”
"I remember that I was almost a god. The people under my rule love one another. But the primordial warlock defeated me and enslaved me. Leave me alone and guard his abomination. She said. "What's even more terrifying is that I sometimes feel like I was born here. The so-called origins are all the crazy imagination of the lonely guide. ”
"I'm going to fall in love with anyone, as long as it's not my echo. The beautiful face that resembled Sadiri said to Muhathir. "Take me away, and I'll love you forever. ”
"What is your choice between doomed death and easy love?" her tone bordered on pleading.
Muhati was silent for a long time before speaking again.
"It's a ...... Very simple choice......" said the Psychic Warlock. “...... No man can make a mistake on this issue. ”
The expression of joy is displayed on the face of **, like the first bloom of flowers. "I know ......"
"Open the portal. Muhadi finished.
That perfect face like a coral witch instantly froze, so rich, such a strong love xù could appear on the same face at the same time, Muhathir couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
"You're killing yourself, my love. ”
"Perhaps, I am neither loving nor narcissistic. I love death alone. Muhathir said. "Now, send me the guò portal. ”
Regret, incomprehension, anger, and even a little sympathy flashed from **'s face one by one. "What I say is true. She shrugged hopelessly and did as she was told.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The hall was not huge, and was as modest as the rest of the fortress. White marble walls, no decoration. Overhead is a mosaic-style ceiling made of multicolored glass, from which light casts down, bathing the hall in a rainbow of light.
I was the first, Muhadi thought, the first in thousands of years to come to the heart of the Pure Fortress.
A large lens floated in the center of the hall like a flawless crystal, and just looking at it, the telemancer had the illusion that it was absorbing the sunlight around it.
But what caught Muhadi's eye even more, a stone the size of a human head embedded in the ground under the crystal.
Black Soul Stone.
The primordial warlock's lifebox.
It has a perfect cube shape, with the ratio of length, width and height of the exposed parts to nine to three to one. No matter how Muhadi used his abilities to enhance his visual senses, the conclusion was that number. The precision of the machining it embodies is far beyond the limits of technology. In this low-key and arrogant way, it declares its own existence.
Pick up the Black Soul Stone and free me from thousands of years of captivity!
The seed of the primordial warlock gave a command in the depths of Muhadi's soul. Like a manipulated marionette, the telemancer stepped into the black stone. Even if his heart tried to rebel against Rajat's orders, it was definitely not visible from the outside.
Now, I, finally, are free!
Freely!!
Freely!!!
The moment Muhadi's hand touched the black soul stone. An azure light exploded in ten-thousandths of a second, soaring into the sky. This dazzling light can be seen even from the space of Artas.
It was as if the Behemoth had awakened, centered on the Fortress of Purity, and the entire basin of the Salt Sea was churning like a carpet. Countless volcanoes roared at the same time, and the red-hot lava that flowed out vaporized the white salt layer.
Even the rotation of Atas was slowed down a little by this sheer force.
A shockwave of turbulent air currents and endless flying sand swooped down from the Pure Keep in all directions, until it swept across the planet, then canceled each other out on the back of Attas, becoming invisible.
All the witch kings stopped their work for a moment to observe this rare phenomenon. Polis of Ebb, the dragon king of Attath let out a roar that no mortal could bear, and he flew towards the Pure Fortress despite the enormous cost of power.
For thousands of years, each city-state paid a blood tax of a thousand slaves per year, which was used to strengthen the sealing magic of the primordial magic. Now, the seal was forcibly lifted, and all the accumulated life energy suddenly lost its restraint and gushed out.
In less than ten breaths, the energy of the seal was turned into a storm that stretched across the planet. The steaming salt of the Salt Sea makes it salty, and the azure pillars of light give it the color of a once-vanished ocean.
In the desert not far from Tyre, a group of unfortunate people are trekking.
They were in rags, they were struggling. Every moment, there are people who fall without support. Thirst and hunger afflict these people all the time. It won't be long before the desert of Atas swallows them up. Maggots and wild beasts will feast on their carcass.
They were the First Cause of exile in Tyre, and Ctesian drove them out of Tyre without providing them with water. The king hoped that the desert would solve them.
"Look!" a blindfolded child raised his hand in the ranks of the exiles. "Behold, what is that blue in the heavens?!"
Someone heard his voice, also stopped his heavy steps, and looked up. But they couldn't find any words to describe the only spectacle they had ever seen in this lifetime, and the blue storm was drifting from one point and gradually covering the entire sky. The dark red sun is also obscured by it.
Smack.
Wet stains appeared on a patch of sand.
Click, click.
More wet stains appeared on the sand, and some raindrops hit the exiles.
For the first time in countless years, rain appeared in Attas.
The incredible miracle of "God is great!" shook all the exiles, and everyone opened their arms and turned their backs to the gift of the First Cause. "Water falls from the sky!"
Everyone congratulated each other incoherently, excited by the miracle. In the end, a sentence converged in the vast rain and mist.
"Praise the true God!"
