Chapter 685: The Rune of the Congenital Retard

It's a somewhat eerie sight. A character the size of a human head floated in mid-air, absorbing an entire person's soul, but even if Benjamin gave the order to revoke, it never meant to dissipate.

It's like...... It's as if it's independent.

Benjamin originally drew it with a casual "Elemental Command?Affinity", also using a small amount of water. But looking at its current appearance, it is completely different from the state of the elemental instructions, but more like those characters in the pure blue world.

"Does this thing hurt? Could Spencer's consciousness remain inside?" he couldn't help but ask.

"It should ...... No. The system hesitated for a moment, then said, "I checked it and didn't feel any hostility from the runes. It's like a newborn life. ”

Benjamin raised an eyebrow.

A newborn life?

He thought of the runes of the pure blue world that might have been self-aware. Don't...... Just because Spencer's spiritual power imitates runes, the moment affinity is activated, he is assimilated by the runes?At the same time, absorbing the spiritual power of a whole person, the runes drawn by Benjamin casually have also become creatures similar to those in the elemental plane?

But...... That creature is not the same dimension as them, can it really be in this world?

Benjamin's mind was full of questions.

He tried to touch the rune, but his fingers passed through the rune in nothingness. This thing has no substance, unlike the runes of the pure blue world, and it feels cold and cold.

Benjamin, however, could sense the power of magic.

The surrounding water elementals had long been spontaneously gathering towards the runes, some of which were absorbed by the runes and disappeared, and more were surrounding the runes, accumulating, like a prelude to the casting of high-level magic.

What's the matter? There's going to be a blizzard for this rune?

Obviously, everything that is happening around the runes now is not purposeless. There is no mature will to command, and because of this, the whole process seems to be a bit scattered. The elements gathered for a while, and no one told them what they were going to do, like robots that had not been programmed.

"We ...... Can you control it?"

He didn't know what it was, but Benjamin realized that it wouldn't hurt him, and might even have an unexpected use - at least it would speed up the gathering of the elements. Hence he asked.

"I don't know. After all, it's something you made, and you can figure out something. The system answers.

So, Benjamin began to try.

He tried to communicate with the rune with his mental power. The previous means of controlling the runes were no longer effective, and the runes may have become self-aware, so he could only try to show his friendliness.

A moment later, a wave of spiritual power came out of the rune.

Suddenly, Benjamin's eyes lit up.

"It'...... What did it say to me?" he asked in his mind.

The mental fluctuations were rather faint and fleeting. And from the fluctuations, Benjamin could only vaguely feel a wave of emotion, but he couldn't say what it meant.

The body of the system also comes from the elemental plane, so it should be able to translate this wave.

"How can it say anything to you?" said the system impatiently, "Although that priest's spiritual power is huge enough for a human, it is far from enough for it. It is like a congenitally deficient baby who may be mentally retarded for the rest of his life, unable to express any clear message at all. ”

“......”

Benjamin looked at the congenitally deficient "retarded" rune, not knowing where to start.

Communication is impossible, but if it is left here, I am afraid that it will not be long before a series of uncontrollable elemental changes will occur in the gardens of the palace. Who knows what will turn out in the end?

This kind of thing, it's better for him to go back to the academy and study it slowly.

After thinking about it, Benjamin condensed a blister. He wrapped the rune in a blister, and then turned it into a forbidden blister, trying to cut the rune off from the outside world.

However, as soon as he activated the forbidden demon attribute, his own spiritual power began to flow wildly, almost draining him completely in a matter of seconds. Benjamin was taken aback, and quickly dispersed the blister, and everything returned to its original state.

"Trouble ......"

He stared at the rune, frowning deeply.

Forbidden Demon Blisters can indeed affect runes, but this kind of mental power consumption is really not something that humans can afford. It's almost impossible to take the runes away in this way.

Maybe...... Should he think differently?

After thinking about it, Benjamin stretched out his hand and spent another affinity character in mid-air.

Bite!

The moment the character formed, a soft sound came out of the rune. At that moment, the huge rune figure flickered, disappeared from the spot, and then appeared in the place where Benjamin had drawn the rune.

"Success?"

Seeing this, Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this rune is congenitally flawed, runes of the same kind seem to have a special attraction for it. Benjamin tried several more times, and as long as he drew an affinity rune within a radius of 100 meters, the rune would automatically flash over, without much effort at all.

Unfortunately, other than that, he couldn't find any more actions that could cause a rune reaction.

Whether it's blasting magic at a rune or testing it with other types of runes. It just stays where it is, motionless, instinctively attracting the water elemental around it, like a magnet that never demagnetizes.

This feeling is also quite helpless.

For a while, Benjamin could only guide it somewhere outside the city, and then return to the palace to take care of the officials and servants who had fainted all over the ground.

Spencer said he had lifted the spell from them, but ...... Who knows? Benjamin had the system scrutinize everyone's anomalous mental power. Most of them were unharmed in the end, however, they found another hidden fragment of spiritual power in the king's brain.

Judging from the picture presented by the system, it was somewhat similar to the curse, but it was a purely spiritual creation, and it looked like a bug, which was quite disgusting.

Benjamin's heart sank.

Spencer was lying.

He tried to unleash his psychic powers, trying to dispel the spiritual parasites that were entrenched in the king's brain. However, his mental power manipulation was obviously not as subtle as Spencer's, and wave after wave swept over, but the fragment of mental power remained motionless and did not react at all.

"Quick! think of a way!" Benjamin hurriedly shouted in his heart.

"This ...... What can I do?"

"Deciphering Spencer's mental power and creating some special mental fluctuations...... Whatever you want, aren't you a super invincible artificial intelligence? A small fragment of mental power will stump you?"

Benjamin was in a very bad mood. If he can't get rid of this ghost, I'm afraid that if there is another priest from overseas, the king will be controlled by someone else again.

Unfortunately, Spencer died too suddenly. Otherwise, I must torture them about what kind of doorway they have.

"I can try, but don't get your hopes up. The system had no choice but to reply.

During the time the system was being tried, Benjamin also cast the Elemental Command Healing, wanting to see if it would have an effect. However, it seems that the elements can only heal some physical injuries and latent fragments of mental power, which is really true.

However, in the rain, these fainted people gradually woke up.

"What's going on, Master Benjamin?" the king opened his eyes and looked at Benjamin, his face dazed.
