Chapter 125: The Worm and the Axe
The real and that creature, nay, perhaps existence itself is beyond the realm of living beings, to a certain level of indescribability, in short, to really see the head of this long, magnificent being like a mountain, that is, the heart of the intellect, is an unforgettable shock for anyone. This is true even for Cheese, who has already seen his face in the spirit world. The spiritual world is the spiritual world in the end, where many details that can be perceived but will not be paid attention to by consciousness are hidden, and the lack of senses also reduces the degree of impact when people encounter incredible objects in their mental state. But now, this protection mechanism has been removed, and the real horror is right in front of you.
The heartbeat, no matter how desperately trying to calm it down, no matter how hard it tried to use the breathing method that was already familiar to the point that it was no longer familiar, it was still as fast as a drum beat before the battle, as if it jumped out of the chest and echoed directly in the ears. Cheese subconsciously gritted his teeth and grinned at the corners of his mouth, a reaction to stress, an instinct that should have disappeared from the pressure of reason and self-esteem. But in front of the worms that penetrated the sky, all the knowledge, cultivation and arrogance became scattered clouds, and after all the shells were peeled off, people were actually still fragile.
"Hmm—" The people who were shocked by the beast understood that the roar they heard was only the sound of the wind as the air passed through the worm's throat, but the insignificant sound of the wind was no less than thunder in their ears. The cat fairy subconsciously curled up his body, his ears pressed tightly to his head, he now knew how terrifying the evil god in the wizard's mouth was, and he also understood how wrong it was to let Atta come to the troubled waters. They shouldn't have come, they shouldn't have been on this adventure, no, they shouldn't have met this damn grey robe in the first place. Even an entire army of yew people, even an army formed under the orders of the fairy king, was by no means a match for this worm, as if a group of ants wanted to defeat the dragon, it was too stupid.
But just as Kairas scolded Cheese with all the dirty words in his heart, a slender but warm hand gently stroked his back. Atalanta, this girl showed extraordinary courage and resilience in the face of worms, she was not crushed by the power of the evil god, but judging by the despair in her pale face and eyes, she was not strong enough to still hold on to hope. They have nothing to call a chance of victory, for they can't even afford to confront that being.
Pressing his upper and lower jaws together, Cheese showed his fear and other negative emotions in this way, not caring about the moaning of his teeth or the pain of his teeth. Breathe in the air, not discern the smell and the power that permeates the gas, give up the perception of the external object, give up the instinctive response, only then can he allow himself to speak in front of the thing, "This is between me and you, let them go." They won't come back and won't bring it up. ”
After the mage said this, he felt a little funny, what qualifications did he have to negotiate terms with the other party, or rather, why should the other party care about the conditions he proposed, or did the worm really care what he said? The encounter in the spirit world had made Cheese completely understand that the monster in front of him was the most powerful and not one of the so-called evil gods he had ever seen, and it was probably because he had eaten the big tree that was Tianmu, and then caused a considerable amount of his own power to pour into this world. But whether this guess is correct or not, the strength of the worm is desperate, overwhelming, and even beyond any imagination, and the mage cannot cite any existence or energy that can compete with it, absolutely not.
The obscured head approached slightly, then turned abruptly, as if losing interest in the three people in the body. And when the quaint ballad began to come from below, the gray robe understood the reason why the other party had lost interest. Although invisible to the naked eye, Cheese was able to clearly see the point of light on the ground below through his magical vision. No, it's not a point of light anymore, if the power of the worm is like a dark cloud that covers the entire sky, then that point of light is the thunder and lightning that pierces the sky, only a little, but it is incomparably firm and pure, like a reef facing the waves, and like a broken wall that has been carved into a thousand holes by the wind and sand of the years but still does not fall. Moreover, the light and the reef are different from the monuments.
It is alive, it should be said, it is fluid. Cheese could see that the light he saw at the beginning was only the surface, and in the center of the point of light, there was only a blurry image, a man holding an axe, as for the person's height, shortness, fat and thinness, old and young, men and women, the format and material of the axe, all of which were unrecognizable. Symbol, he knows this phenomenon, when a thing that originally existed in the world with its own independent circumstances is elevated by magic or similar power into a symbol, it loses all its original characteristics, this erasure is not physical, but when outsiders see it, they can no longer be aware of its individuality, but can only see the commonality it represents as a symbol. Magic that generally uses this method is closely related to nature.
Returning to the point of light itself, under the influence of symbolism, the person and the axe in the center of the point of light have no other meaning, they are none of them, no one will become, and infinity tends to nothingness. It is this emptiness that creates an incredible spectacle, as if to make up for it, all the invisible things in the heavens and the earth are contributing a part of their part to this pair of symbols, and these contributed forces are like storms around the eye of the typhoon, rotating, interweaving, prompting a more violent momentum, but not a single trace of it flows into the eye of the storm, and in that point of light is absolute darkness.
I see. A smile tugged at the corners of Cheese's mouth, and he suddenly realized that he had been freed from the oppression of the worm, and at the same time, the song that drifted in the wind gradually took shape in his ears, becoming a familiar melody that he could understand. Then the mage understood, and he stretched out his palm, so that the palm stained dark red by the blood was facing the light, and let the magic in his body flow out of his body along the invisible track. And he didn't resist the process, and his body didn't get weakened by the loss of his magic. On the contrary, after establishing a connection with the light, Cheese lost himself for a brief moment, forgetting that he was a gray-robed wizard, that he was suddenly a butterfly and a swimming fish, that he was in all things, in all things.
The axe, slowly raised, with the blade pointed towards the worm. If it could be held by a human being, it would not be more than two meters bigger, but in the eyes of others, the axe seemed to be as big as this world, and with a single swing, it could cut everything between heaven and earth, and cut out a clear, separate world from top to bottom. Of course, that's just an illusion, because this axe didn't appear to do this, it came to fight the worm. So the raised axe blade did not fall, but only pointed at the behemoth monster from afar.
"Bang!" the wound appeared as if it exploded on the worm's body, and the liquid flowing out of it was like magma in an erupting volcano, and the momentum when it fell was like a waterfall in the flood season!
"Uhhhh
