Chapter 3: New Strength and Beginning

A man and a beast, a boy with tears in his eyes meets a hungry beast.

Lin Yan thought that he had no good luck, but now, he had no way back.

"Whew!" the beast let out a shuddering roar, and then pounced on Lin Yan. The claws that devoured all the light grabbed towards Lin Yan.

"Are you going to die?" Time seemed to slow down, and the claws that could tear everything apart were only one step away from the tip of their noses.

I'm never going to throw in the towel......

The moment I thought about it, countless fond memories welled up in my mind. An unprecedented desire to survive filled his body, and with it, there was a pure white circular stigma that stood in front of Lin Yan. The darkness on the claws of the Nightblade Leopard seemed to be disturbed, like an ink, flowing into the circle. These dark elements flowed into the circle, gradually turning into runes and attaching themselves to the circle.

Lin Yan felt that something had flowed into his body, and in an instant, runes of dark meaning appeared in every corner of Lin Yan's body, but they disappeared completely in the next second. And on his back, a perfectly circular magic mark gradually appeared. Aside from the circle, the only rune of this magic mark is the "dark" rune that is identical to the Nightblade Panther stigma.

On the other hand, on the side of the Nightblade Leopard, the dark runes that should have been on top of every horn are now missing. Because of the magic force just now, the claws on his hands oozed blood, and the claws above were also broken a little.

"I'll your stigma!" Although he didn't know what was going on, Lin Yan could clearly feel the runic power behind him. As if instinctively, he swung his fist at the Nightblade Leopard in front of him. The fist mixed with strange and strange dark energy, slammed into the body of the Nightblade Leopard, directly knocking the already injured Nightblade Leopard down on the tree.

Picking up the body of this Night Blade Leopard, I saw that the stigma on the Night Blade Leopard's body seemed to be like a watercolor painting in the water and gradually dissolved, replaced by three other dark runes that faintly appeared in the huge circular stigma behind Lin Yan, all of which were like instinctive reactions, and even Lin Yan himself didn't think about it.

The stigmata vanished from the Nightblade Leopard's body, along with its own life.

"What the hell is this?" Lin Yan felt the power in the runes in confusion, and the four runes only occupied a small part of his circular stigma. To be exact, Lin Yan could clearly feel that these four runes only occupied one-ninth of the position, which meant that the circular stigmata behind him could hold about 36 runes.

The rain was still falling, if it weren't for the residual warmth of the Nightblade Leopard that fell to the ground, I'm afraid even Lin Yan himself wouldn't be able to do what happened just now.

Killed with one punch?

I'm afraid it's my own weird stigma...... Let's call it stigmata for the time being, the round stigmata doesn't have any impression in Lin Yan's database. At present, Lin Yan has seen all the stigmata patterns, all of which have water chestnut angles, such as triangles, squares, five-pointed stars, and six-pointed stars. The more horns you have, the more runes you can control, the more magic you have, and the more magic you create. Of course, there are some special beings, such as hourglass, trapezoid, and cross, but in the final analysis, these stigmatas have horns. As for the round shape, it is really unheard of, maybe it's just because Lin Yan has learned less.

After that, Lin Yan took a long detour, and he didn't know if it was because of the dark runes, or because he had the power of stigmata, all in all, Lin Yan could see clearly enough in the dark, and finally touched his way home, which was also the cabin where he had lived for more than ten years.

Lin Yan lay on the wooden bed, trying not to think about Long Ke's departure, and then gradually closed his eyes. He found that even if he didn't deliberately use the so-called "spiritual power" to sense it, he could feel that the stigma behind him was like a round white paper, and around it, there were four identical runes representing "darkness". Upon inquiry, this is exactly the same as the pattern and explanation in the dictionary.

In addition, Lin Yan found that he could erase the existence of one rune while using spiritual power to carve another rune. Although it sounds like a very difficult operation, it is very simple for Lin Yan. For him, it was possible to erase a rune and add another known rune with a single thought. In any case, the total number of runes will not exceed four, and this known rune ...... It seems to only work on the first seven elemental basic runes in the rune dictionary, which are "fire, earth, wind, thunder, water, light, and darkness". Then I wanted to reproduce the complex runes, but there was no movement at all.

However, the most critical point is that Lin Yan is completely a layman in terms of using the Holy Stigmata. Even if you know the runes on the stigmata, you don't know how to use or activate it. Although it was theoretically to use magic to charge the stigma, Lin Yan didn't know how to use magic at all, and it wasn't necessarily a matter of thinking that magic would be formed. If so, then the Tracer doesn't use those crooked spells...... Wait, spell?

I remember that the Tracer needs to use the legendary rune language to use magic, right? Lin Yan thought so, but as an ordinary person, he didn't seem to have learned the rune language. If you visit Long Ke now and tell him at such a late hour, because he ran into the forest and met the Nightblade Leopard, and then inspired something like a stigma? No, it would be better to dispel this thought.

And this strange stigma, apart from the shape of its own existence, has not even heard of its ability to carve other runes or change the structure of runes. Moreover, its origin is really doubtful and incomprehensible. If it weren't for Long Ke's departure, without the Nightblade Leopard, maybe the stigma would have been shown off to everyone. But not now, if you let others know that you have a stigma of this power, then something very terrible will definitely happen.

If I could, I wish I could go to a place where no one knows and start a new story. Except for that goods. β€”β€”β€”β€”This was Lin Yan's last thought when he fell asleep.
