Benjamin first recites the spell of water polo, but he finds that the spell can no longer cause the characters to vibrate. The ripe mantra blurted out, and nothing happened.

This......

Benjamin was dumbfounded.

He immediately tried the spells of Ice Shattering and the Pillar of Steam, and the results were the same. The synth characters did not react to them, and the ice and water vapor did not appear as usual.

How so?

Benjamin was really a little bit unexpected. The synthesized characters give him that omnipotent state, but deprive him of the ability to perform normal magic. If he used to have three spell slots, now ...... He's gone, only one transformation skill remains, and he doesn't know how long the cooldown lasts.

How could he lead a group of mages like this?

"Isn't it...... Probably not. The system also ran over and said curiously, "Although the three characters are combined, their nature has not changed, is there something wrong with you?"

“...... What could I have gone wrong with?"

Benjamin held his forehead and looked depressed.

He didn't know what caused all this, but he knew very well that if he couldn't cast spells in normal times, then he didn't know how to live with it.

Flying, Defending, Healing...... The reality of the situation is complex and changeable, and it is impossible for him to solve all the problems with a ten-minute transformation state. Needless to say, with his luck, all the bad things will come up during the cooldown time of his skill, no exceptions.

Benjamin felt his head hurt, more painful than if he had been eroded by the halo.

He had to get his daily magical abilities back.

"There must be something wrong with your spell. The system continued, "Characters only react to spells, and you pronounce them wrong. ”

Benjamin replied impatiently, "I've recited those incantations billions of times, how can I be wrong?"

"Perhaps...... All it takes is a new spell. ”

"Isn't that syllable I just pronounced a new spell that activates a synthesized character? the new spell will only keep me alive for ten minutes of water elemental superman, and nothing else. ”

"No," said the system, "that syllable is a spell that opens the elemental plane, and has nothing to do with magic in the narrow sense. Although the composite character is the key, it is also the product of the fusion of the three magic generators. It certainly retains some of its magic-giving function. ”

Benjamin was a little puzzled: "How do you know this?"

"There's an intuition in this body. ”

Benjamin looked at the three funny bodies in the system and couldn't help but feel that this sound a little "funny" too. However, if the system can say it with such certainty, it should be ...... It's still referential, right?

He finally began to think seriously about the system's proposals.

New spells......

Could it be that he still has to work out a spell on his own, and he has to be able to match the appetite of the synthetic characters? It's too hard for a strong man, he doesn't have much research on it.

After thinking about it, Benjamin simply connected the spells of water balloon, ice smashing, and the pillar of steam, and chanted them quickly. Unexpectedly, the synthetic characters really reacted.

Benjamin could clearly see that the characters flashed after he finished reading.

Unfortunately, nothing happened.

"Look, I'm right! it still retains the ability to spawn magic, you just need a new spell. The system also said in a triumphant tone.

“...... Then you can help me come up with a new spell. ”

"Why do you want me to do it?"

"Research, Analysis, Data...... Isn't that what a system should do? The new spell must be related to the original three spells, so you start with those three spells, come on, I believe in you!"

“......”

Without waiting for the system to come up with a reason for refusal, Benjamin hurriedly closed his eyes and left the space of consciousness.

Although the time passage in the space of consciousness was much slower than reality, he also stayed here for more than ten minutes. If he had to try the spells one by one, he didn't know how long he would have to try.

He can only throw things to the system, and then go back to reality and pay attention to what is going on in the real world.

If the golden halo had been driven away by him and had started to threaten the others in the auditorium again, then it would have been okay, the reality should have only been about a minute by now, and everyone's brains should not be cooked yet.

Besides, Benjamin felt that after the change in the consciousness space just now, the golden halo should have retreated a lot.

Thinking so, he finally returned to reality.

When he opened his eyes, the priest's empty eyes glowed, still staring at him closely. Benjamin's posture remained the same as before—holding his head with one hand and pinching the other's neck with the other, and even the expression on his face was still in the same pain as before.

It was as if he had been turned into a sculpture, and he had lasted for an unknown amount of time, and even his facial muscles were a little sore.

Behind him, the mage's panicked voice was heard.

“...... No, we have to bring him back, he died for us......! Don't stop me, I'm going to ......"

"Don't go over, you're going to die!"

“......”

For a while, Benjamin was in a complicated mood, and he had the feeling of lying in a coffin and listening to people crying in front of his grave.

He's not dead yet!

Thinking so, he moved again, let go of the hand that was holding the priest, and took a few steps back from Father Light's side. The priest's gaze followed him, and he looked a little penetrating. As for those behind him...... Their expressions were as if they had seen a ghost.

"Teacher Benjamin...... Are you alright?"

When Benjamin heard this, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "What? Why are your expressions so strange? How can a mad priest have me?"

"But...... You've just ...... We have observed that there is no breath of life anymore. ”

Benjamin frowned.

Really......

He couldn't help but touch his chest, but fortunately, his body was still warm, and his heart was still pounding. He was still alive, not some strange undead creature.

"It was just a brief state of suspended animation, and lo and behold, we're not doing well right now. So he said to the people in the Great Hall.

At the moment, more than half of the more than 2,000 people have recovered. They huddled at one end of the auditorium, looking at Benjamin, with a sparkle of hope in their hearts.

"Master Benjamin, you...... Can you take us out?" asked the king.

Although the deadly golden halo seemed to be gone, the entire auditorium was still locked up by the power of the Holy Light. They can't get out, not even if they make a hole in the wall.

When Benjamin heard this, he also turned his head and looked at the priest bathed in the holy light again.

"You, yes, who. ”

Father Muran's voice came, as if Benjamin had changed now, and he suddenly didn't know Benjamin.

But...... Thinking about it carefully, after experiencing the upheaval in the space of consciousness, from the strange perspective of the priest, perhaps Benjamin has really become another form of existence.

Therefore, Benjamin suddenly turned to the priest and said, "Get out of that priest's body and leave this world." You can't kill anyone anymore. ”

He didn't know what it was that controlled the Light right now, but he felt ...... This thing shouldn't belong here.

Since it is not the existence of this world, please let it go. In fact, Benjamin has almost no combat power at the moment, and it is difficult to help this guy.

However, at that moment, the priest's face once again showed a slight human struggle. From Mu Ran to pain, the light in his eyes kept in the cave, as if two souls were fighting for control in his body.

"No...... I—I must purify you sinners!" he said, with a hint of pain in his tone.

Benjamin was stunned.

The original consciousness of this priest...... Hasn't it completely dissipated?
