193. The Cage of Time
Nicholas also wanted to see what the giant creature looked like, but when it surfaced, the gift to Nicholas was a huge mouth, and Nicholas was swallowed by the creature without any chance of resisting.
Surrounded by darkness, Nicholas regained his composure, sliding down the esophagus that resembled the creature, and touched the ground after a few seconds. It doesn't seem to be a living thing's stomach, as there are no digestive juices around to digest food, and there is no smell.
Nicholas sat down on the spot and began to think about the anomalies of this palace: first, open the chessboard and fall down, the ground on which the palace itself is located is hard, so where does the underground lake come from? Looking at the size of the creatures of this underground lake, it can be inferred that the area of this underground lake must be not small. The only thing that can explain this is that the palace space is expanded, or... If it's the palace of the Lord God of Time, or if there's actually another timeline underneath the chessboard, Nicholas might now be in a parallel world that overlaps his real-life timeline.
But space or time, Nicholas retracted his thoughts, and the most important thing for him was to get out of this creature's body first.
To get out, Nicholas looked around, it was pitch black, and he illuminated it with a light spell: it was empty, and there was nothing around Nicholas except for the slightly pink ground beneath his feet. Then it seems that we have to give it a try, Nicholas turned into the Halberd of Death, and as soon as he charged his strength, he plunged into the "ground" under his feet, poof! The halberd did not encounter much resistance, and Nicholas's Death Halberd could only see the tail of the gun.
But the creature didn't seem to react at all, and Nicholas didn't feel any changes around him, and he couldn't even sense the basic vibration, could it be because the wound was too small? Yes, such a huge creature, opening an opening is nothing, so Nicholas began to use the halberd to constantly stir and expand the wound, all the way through, until Nicholas was tired, the wound had been expanded by him to a range of nearly 100 meters.
Before Nicholas could rest, he was surprised to find that the wound he had made had healed at first, and there was no trace left, and the creature did not react to the pain. Nicholas began to suspect that this thing was not alive at all, otherwise how could he be so enduring?
Later, Nicholas tried to open a hole in the creature's stomach, but after seeing the creature's extraordinary ability to recover, he chose to give up, so that the other party was fine, and he had to run out of energy first. This was the second characteristic of his discovery: the mana here was so thin that he couldn't replenish it after using it, and in the end he even canceled the transformation of the Death Halberd, and he had to reduce all unnecessary mana expenditures before he could come up with a sure countermeasure.
But nothing came of it, Nicholas felt like his predecessor, in prison... Worse than being in jail was that Nicholas didn't even feel that there was anyone nearby. When my ex was in prison twice, the first time he was accompanied by someone to chat, and the second time he didn't sit long before he went to deathmatch. Sitting here by yourself, there is no concept of time ... Wait! Time concept?
Nicholas seemed to have caught the little bit of inspiration that he had overlooked.
Contact the time secret realm that my predecessor has visited, the only difference between this place and the time secret realm is that there is no clear exit. Originally, there was a tower of time and space in the secret realm of time, but what about here? Nicholas felt that there were no coincidences in the world, only connections that he had not found. Sitting like this, of course, there was no connection, and Nicholas began to choose a direction to move forward, where the magic sense seemed to be useless. This also made Nicholas determined to change the sensing method, magic sensing has often lost its effect since the previous achievement of the high-level magician, and it is usually useless, but now it is invalid at such a critical moment, it is really fatal!
In order to avoid spending too much time searching for it, Nicholas did not hesitate to put a slow time law, which is an advanced law derived from time stagnation, which is less magical than time stagnation, and the effect is more durable.
As he walked, Nicholas's body began to show signs of aging, and he was not only not afraid but also happy, because this aging confirmed his conjecture. That is, this place is similar to the secret realm of time, but it is more like a cage, a cage of time.
Nicholas moved forward along the way, and later on, the progress became inertia, and Nicholas's attention was long lost to his surroundings. His attention drifted far away, and he remembered the question that the big elf had asked him when he first met the time elemental elf: what can beat time, life, feelings, freedom, power, power, wealth, wisdom, and all of them were rejected by Nicholas except for feelings and freedom, in fact, the question was too subjective to stand up to scrutiny.
Nicholas thought about it and added his strength back, he felt that only strength could protect the feelings and freedom he wanted, and with strength he could... Wait, is it possible to have the rest with power? Nicholas quickly wandered and wondered why he wanted power...
Is power an end or a means?Nicholas thought for a long time, thinking of his gray hair and his clumped body, and gradually, his increasingly rapid and difficult breathing interrupted Nicholas's almost endless thoughts.
"yes, why do you think so much useless. Nicholas realized that his voice had become vicissitudes, "Fortunately, my predecessor is also a person who has experienced the secret realm of time, and I don't feel how strange and terrifying this old feeling is." In fact, Nicholas's self-talk already shows that he can't bear the loneliness of being alone.
"I hope this level isn't as boring as the third level. "Nicholas was once again convinced that he was born for the sake of the Rainbow and the freedom that would no longer be restrained and controlled, which he doubted twice, but it will not change again.
Suddenly, a beam of light came from front of him, and Nicholas, who was accustomed to the darkness, couldn't help but raise his hand to block his eyes: "It's here." "It seems that this is the exit, Nicholas felt something in his heart. Closing his eyes and waiting for his eyes to adjust to the light, Nicholas opened his eyes, and then walked in the direction of the light that heralded the exit, in the process of walking, Nicholas's body was slowly regaining its youth, and when Nicholas really walked out of the exit, his appearance was exactly the same as when he first entered the Time Lord Shrine. "There is no danger...," Bowy nodded with satisfaction as he watched Nicholas suddenly appear from a distance.
