Section C: Chapter 128: The Abyss and the Gloom (Beverly)
"Do you keep chopping when you are manipulating......" The thighs had begun to sink into the abyssal swamp, and Beverly was strangled to become more and more short of breath, but she still insisted on maintaining her composure: "Salander...... You attack the Abyss Knight, and it might work. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Ah, good!" Aya heard this, and hurriedly got up and started. So he rushed forward, and began to slash the Abyss Knight with a sword in a hurry. However, having said that, these blades didn't work at all against the Abyss Knight's armor.
All blades were immediately bounced off after touching the enemy's armor. The abyssal slime on his body seemed to be tightly protecting his master from any attack.
And the mucus doesn't mean to go away in the slightest. It is said that as long as he persistently attacks the Abyssal Knight, it will take him a while to regenerate slime and lose his defenses. It would be better if he happened to be exposed to daylight during the time when he lost his defenses.
Now it seemed like it had to be useful if he wasn't controlling the tentacles. In other words, he should be in a near-invincible state at this time.
If it was Lucina, who was on the top of the second middle school, she would definitely be excited to give this a cool name and call it a nirvana. In fact, this move does have that quality - almost invincible and killable when it goes head-to-head.
Beverly had fought the Abyss Knight head-to-head a few times, but had never seen an Abyss Knight use this kind of trick. This really made her suspicious, not quite sure of all this
If Beverly had gone head-to-head with him without Salander by his side, she would probably have hung up. This move of the Abyss Knight is really extremely lethal, and the enemy who meets for the first time will inevitably be hit. However......
However, after all, it is still flawed, not truly invincible. This slight shortcoming was keenly perceived by Beverly.
"Salander, his abyssal slime can only protect the outside!" he felt like his magic and physical strength were gradually decaying. Beverly immediately reminded him, "Try to bypass the armor and attack the enemy!"
"Bypass the armor...... What do you mean?" said Salander, his face bewildered.
"That's it...... There is no need for an attack from an external shock. Beverly only felt that her ribs were about to break, and her expression was already in great pain.
"Ah, good, good!" Salander hurriedly began to try to do what Beverly said: what to do?
An offensive approach that does not require an attack from the outside...... Salander suddenly realized, and immediately turned the sword in his left hand halfway and inserted it back into his waist. At the same time, he opened his palm and shot a red thread towards the Abyss Knight, connecting the two together.
The red thread was like a constant stream of blood, and it shimmered slightly. It looked scarlet and restless, rigidly attached to the chests of Salander and the Abyssal Knights.
It is not resisted by the abyssal slime like the slash of the blade, and does not seem to trigger passive defense.
The Abyssal Knight didn't seem surprised, still motionless, continuing to cast spells. It seems that he is quite confident in his defenses and feels that there is definitely no problem.
When Beverly saw the thread, she didn't know what Salander was going to do. But the magic didn't work. Wika, who had gone to settle the fainted cook, rushed into the house at this time, and as soon as he stepped into the door of the hall, he subconsciously screamed in horror and hurriedly ran to Beverly.
Don't get closer, Wicca! Beverly struggled to shout the words, but was strangled too close and could only let out a few whimperes.
Her body had sunk nearly halfway into the abyssal swamp.
Sticky and cold to the touch...... These unpleasant sensations kept coming from her lower body, and Beverly gritted her teeth and tried desperately to endure it: it was disgusting.
Few spells have been so effective at holding Beverly in place. Even the most powerful mages are always in an awkward position when faced with abyssal magic.
Because its unknownness is incomparably powerful. People know very little about the abyss, and naturally there is no effective research and countermeasures. Counter-magic and dispersal techniques are often meaningless to abyss spells, as their mana structure is incomparably strange and deadly.
That's right, dead silence - the word is the best and most apt way to describe the spell of the Abyss. That dead silence refers not only to the indismantability of the mana models, but also to their magical effects.
It stands to reason that dark magic should be closest to the attributes of abyssal spells, but the actual test results are not. After all, darkness is also a kind of elemental magic, and even the purest darkness is very different from the abyss.
The power of the abyss is more like the power of the soul.
Corresponding to the abyss is the depths of the deep sea. There are prophecies that when the last flame of the world is extinguished, the world will usher in a dark age. Everything will return to the deep sea, into the deep sea age. And what the hell is is that even the gloomy church founded by the doomsday activists can't be said clearly.
...... It's probably as unclear as the abyss. The power of the Shadow has also existed since ancient times, but it is much lower than the presence of the Abyss. The reason for this is that the secluded sea has so little interaction with Ebone. Only sea races such as Fishmen, Merfolk, and Kraken are in awe of it.
To put it bluntly, they are all scary things to watch out for. It's better not to know some things - like the secrets of the gloom and the abyss. The former Beverly doesn't know too many examples, but most of those who pursue the latter's knowledge are as mad as scholars who pursue ancient theology and ancient knowledge. The more ignorant you are, the happier you are, and in a sense it is very applicable.
The abyss that devours people's hearts has been peeping at the whole world. And the will of the abyss may just reflect the dark side of people's hearts. Self-defeating, dark thoughts give birth to the power of the abyss and expand it. The abyss exists precisely because of the inevitable darkness of the human heart, so it cannot be destroyed. The more fear, despair, and self-abandonment people have, the stronger the abyss.
The root cause of every abyssal expansion is almost always because of some large-scale despair and fear event that broke out at that time, and the impact was far-reaching. The abyss sensed this power and began to be restless. In other words, wars and natural disasters are often the direct causes of the growth of the abyss. The abyss itself may be unconscious, and it is only in response to people's negative emotions that they want to destroy everything and give up hope that they begin to engulf the world.
...... To put it bluntly, it's just to help those dark personalities realize their wishes. In this sense, the abyss is actually very generous. And never break his word, and the promised power will definitely be given.
The dark personality in everyone's heart exists and cannot be eliminated, and there have been quite famous historical events for this reason.
