Chapter 320: Spiritual Connection
Lin Qiu's sword momentum pierced through Goburn's heart, and the latter's body that leaped into the air fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string, and a small pool of blood spread across the floor of the Heroic Soul's Sleep. Behind the dull sound of the ground, there was a faint sound of wind, and the evening breeze pouring in through the crack in the door sounded like a low whimper at the moment.
It's over?
Lin Qiu stared at the blood stains on the blade, a little stunned.
Goben-Azuk's body had been unmoved for a long time, looking like he was dead, but Belverde had previously described him as an immensely formidable foe, and it would have been too easy for a sword to kill him......
Wrong.
When Lin Qiu looked at Goben's "corpse" again, he finally found the clue - Goben's left arm was "weak" on the ground, but countless thin cracks were quietly spreading towards his feet starting from his five fingers, and the pitch-black magic pattern occupied the left half of his body, and a wisp of black qi slowly rose from behind him.
"Magnitude - Seven Stars!"
When Goeben burst out, Lin Qiu, who had been prepared for a long time, reacted, he jumped high, and his original position suddenly collapsed, and the spreading rift did not stop there, and the statues on both sides were also broken into countless sections when Goeben burst out, and the broken statues fell to the ground, setting off a loud noise one after another.
And Lin Qiu realized that something was wrong.
His sword was not hollowed, but the arc of the sword was blocked by the growth of flesh in Goburn's heart, and the flesh was cut in half by the clothes on the latter's chest, and the skin on Goben's chest turned into a hard stone, and there was a clear scratch on the stone, and the two complemented each other, and he succeeded in blocking the fatal blow.
The mutation didn't stop there, and the cracks that cracked on the ground finally came together, and then several black tentacles burst through the ground, each covered with sharp barbs.
Goeben's eyes flashed with greed.
"Great power...... As long as I devour you, I will be able to gain more power, I sense something inside you, quickly, give it to me!"
This time, Lin Qiu could be sure that it was not Goeben who was talking to him, but Urusos.
He moved his gaze to Goburn's footing, which was supposed to be above the Black Abyss, the source of the monster's power that was supposed to be hidden deeper underground.
"Let's go down!"
"Boom-"
......
Black Abyss.
"No, no, no, I can't do it!" Brydon's head shook like a rattle when he heard Eric's crazy plan. His feet were weakened by the tentacles churning the water, and if it weren't for his arm still on Eric, he would have sat on the ground.
Each tentacle is worth a building, and unlike his ancestors, Brydon is not proficient in the art of assassination, and fighting these tentacles is tantamount to death. And Eric's plan is too "sloppy" - what does it mean that "he will stop these tentacles"?
Does he seem to be able to block the ruthless characters of these tentacles?
"The only way to survive is to cut off the bard's connection with Urusos, because it has not yet been successfully fused, and can only use its power by parasitic on someone, so the current Urussos can still be stopped. β
King Brydon's eyes widened as he looked at the giant tentacles that could easily slap the ground into a deep pit.
Then he heard half of Eric's wordsβ"This...... Not the whole thing?"
"The full body of Urusus is probably larger than the entire kingdom, and once it has reached the final step of its fusion with Goeben, where are we ...... It's in its belly, and the dissolved fluid it secretes is enough to melt us in an instant. β
Eric's truth not only comforted King Brydon, but made him even more frightened: "Then what are we staying here for?
"I can't escape. β
Eric took a step forward, and fell to his knees without the light of King Brydon, who was leaning on.
"I won't promise you anything, whether you step forward or backward, you may die, and even facing Ulusos head-on may make you die faster, but for every second you delay, your people have a higher chance of surviving. β
"I see. β
After a long hesitation, Brydon finally got up from the ground.
His brother had always called him a weak man, and at this moment, perhaps he finally had the opportunity to do something that was not weak.
"I'll do my best to stall for you. β
Bryden was heartbroken and rushed forward with his bare hands.
At the same time, Eric rushed towards the giant tentacle in the center of the clearing, which was identical to the one that came out of the water, but it was a deformity transformed from the bard's body, and it was only possible to stop Urussos if it was resolved. However, with him and King Brydon alone, the probability of winning is infinitely close to zero.
"Don't struggle anymore, merge with me, and I'll make good use of your wisdom. β
The echoes in his head were constantly disturbing Eric.
"The other outsider has already succumbed, so what are you waiting for?"
"I see your resentment, you have been deceived and deceived, and I can avenge you!"
"So, what did you promise to that bard?"
The reverberation suddenly stopped, and the speed of the tentacle stirring slowed down as Eric threw the question.
This is the first human he has met who can connect with him in the spirit world, and he has always been able to instill his own thoughts into humans, and humans cannot give back, and most of the time, humans who are instilled by him will be driven crazy by the sound in their heads that will not stop.
"You...... How?"
"I've been trying to build bridges with monsters, and now that you can read my memories, you should know what I'm fighting for. β
The needle that Eric had hidden in his sleeve pierced into the tentacle in a desperate blow, and he wasn't sure if the potion would succeed.
"When your consciousness revivals, there is only endless darkness around you, and you are imprisoned at the very bottom of the city. So you learn how to read memories, and through this bizarre telepathy, you can see the darkest thoughts in people's hearts, and this is the only bridge you can use to communicate with the outside world......"
"Eric, what the hell are you doing?"
Brydon ran wildly in the onslaught of the tentacles, and when he looked back at Eric, the sight almost knocked him down - he saw Eric standing right in front of Ulusos's tentacles, his outstretched right hand pressed against the tentacle and motionless.
"But, Urussos ......"
"Why did you want to connect with the outside world in the first place?"
Eric couldn't hear Brydon's shouts, and his consciousness sank into darkness.
"You found Goeben for a reason. β
