Chapter 221: A Strange Presence on the Surface
The weather in the Death Forest is always changeable, the day before, the Lake of the End was still filled with strong winds and torrential rains, even at night, the lake was still lightning and thunder, and the sound of the rain was as great as when the water poured, but only a few hours later, when the girls woke up in the morning and walked out of the cave to breathe, the sky had completely cleared, as if the clouds and rainstorms that had been depressing yesterday were just a dream when they slept peacefully.

Walking out of the cave, he was greeted by a fiery red morning sun, rising from the lake at the end of the field of vision, and Huronte, the Lord of the Sun, drove the flaming chariot and once again rushed into the sky, taking over the work of his sisters, and launching a day after day charge into the night and darkness. The rising sun sprinkles thousands of rays of sunlight, scattered on the surface of the lake, which is as wide as the sea, and the sparkling lake reflects the morning glow, and the scattered refraction of the colorful glow makes the whole lake look as dazzling as a jewel.
The girls recalled that an explorer who had desperately arrived at the Lake of the End once commented: "The more dangerous the environment, the more irresistible beauty is often hidden, and the Lake of the End is the most typical example, this gorgeous lake is simply the most brilliant and dazzling gem hidden in the depths of the forest, and the moment I can see the sun rise on the lake, even if I pay the price of my life, I will not hesitate to exchange." β
Although the girls are not like those explorers who take pleasure in exploring the unknown world, even at the cost of their lives, they would rather die to enjoy the beauty of the Lake of End, but they also have to admit that the scenery in front of them is worthy of the title of the most brilliant jewel of the Forest of Death.
Under the rising sun, the biggest characteristic of the Lake of the End is quiet, very, very quiet, the element of sound seems to have been erased from the world, everything is in a quiet, silent lake, quiet forest, silent peaks, even the rising sun, are silent. The stark contrast between the rising sun and the quiet silence of the environment is the reason why people feel that the rising sun of the Lake of the End is particularly beautiful.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Just as the girls were in a daze, there was a howl like a hoarse wolf howl behind them. The sudden howl completely broke the atmosphere created by the silent sunrise and pulled the girls back from their intoxication. The corners of the girls' eyes twitched, gritted their teeth and slowly turned back, and before they could say anything, Pannis, who was smug behind them, suddenly flew up and rolled out of the cave entrance screaming.
After Pannis was knocked away, he revealed Dilly who was blocked by him, and the manticore slapped Pannis's hand and rubbed his ears, and roared dissatisfiedly: "Damn Kyle, are you an idiot? Don't you know that our ears are much more sensitive than humans, and they are actually screaming in my ear, you bastard, Lao Tzu can swallow eight in one breath, are you afraid to swallow you?" β
"Damn the transport, you waited for me. Pannis got up from the bottom of the mountain road and cried out against a weed, "Sooner or later, I will have Maya and Tiya pluck your hair." β
"Alas. Catherine sighed helplessly, if it was only Pannis, the knight girl could use some special means to force him back to normal, but it was obviously not possible to do this to the manticore Dilly, so when the two sides worked together to make trouble, the knight girl would have a deep sense of frustration. Ignoring the two fools who were scuffling together, Catherine hung her shoulders weakly and led the way down the hill, and behind her, the maidens looked at the two demigods who were tearing each other apart with the pity of the fools, and sighed deeply.
"Hey, wait for us. The girls had gone far away, and the two men came to their senses, glared at each other, and hurried after them.
Looking at the lake up close, it seems that it is no different from ordinary lakes except for the area, the lake water is clear and transparent, and the reeds grow on the shore of the lake, and when the breeze blows, the reeds sway, and the fragrance of the reed flowers mixes with the coolness of the lake, and is carried in all directions by the wind. Everything seemed so beautiful, but no one was going to relax, because on the vast surface of the lake, there were a large number of twisted souls of various shapes, and the twisted shadows and chaotic fragments that had been seen could be found in it, as well as countless other states.
"See the twisted soul closest to the shore?" Pannis pointed to the surface of the lake and whispered to the girls, "It's the one that looks more like a tiger, but it looks like someone has artificially crumpled the image of the tiger and then unfolded it, that kind of crumpled feeling, that belongs to the distorted time is relatively short, retains some habits before life, but also retains some memories and obsessions before life, and still retains a lot of attacks before life, if it is a humanoid soul, it will even fight like a living person." Although they have a certain memory and thinking, they have long been confused, and their greatest hope is to make all souls the same as themselves, so their desire to attack is very strong, and because they are not entities but souls, their attacks can almost only dodge, and defense and blocking are ineffective. As for wanting to attack them, in addition to Lina's life spell purification, there is also one of the most effective means of attack. β
"Psychic shock?" found Pannis's gaze turning to him. Vivien thought about it for a moment and thought of the answer: "Although psychic shock has a certain effect on the disembodied undead, the effect is not very large. β
"However, they are not really undead. Pannis shook his head and said, "Psychic shock has a miraculous effect on this twisted soul that is closest to a normal creature, in a sense, even more effective than Lina's purification. Therefore, in case we encounter this kind of soul distortion attack, don't hesitate to directly release a large-scale soul blast. β
"What happens if you get hurt by their attack?" asked Lina curiously, "Is it the same effect as the Chaos Shards?"
"It's different, it just wants to assimilate you into being like them, not trying to take your soul to make yourself normal, so unlike the Chaos Fragments, they don't take anything from your soul, but add something to it. For example, the twisting, madness, and chaos in their souls. Pannis pouted and said: "Believe me, you won't want to try that feeling, one or two attacks are okay, if there are too many times, even the most determined people will not be able to resist this distortion, it won't be long before they will become the same as them from the body to the soul, so, no matter what, it's best not to let the other party touch you, and try not to fall into the other party's encirclement, in fact, this is applicable in the entire forbidden land." β
"We've got this in mind, but what about the one next to it?" Lina, from the very beginning, didn't focus entirely on the least twisted mad bender, but often turned her gaze to another being next to it. It was an equally very strange being, their image, like an unfinished line drawing, was entirely made of lines, but instead of being laid flat on the ground like a distorted shadow to form a plane, it remained three-dimensional, and the body made of the lines floated and writhed like a normal creature, and if the distorted shadows were only long and wide and had no height, then the existence outlined by such lines was only width and height, but not thickness, that is, if viewed from the side in the strict sense, they were as if they were completely absentγ It's a strange feeling, because what the observer sees is just a messy line, and it's hard to connect them to a soul.
"That's, that's what I just call a line. Pannis pulled the girls back a few steps, as if wary of this existence called the line: "It can be regarded as the most terrifying kind of twisted soul, at least of all the twisted souls I know, it is the most dangerous, fortunately, their number is extremely rare, the chance of being hit by someone is too low, otherwise I am afraid that the danger level of the forbidden place will rise a few levels." β
"So strong?" Catherine said in surprise, "Nothing special except for the weird one?"
"First of all, purification has almost no effect on him, and the existence of his soul in the world is only these few disembodied lines, which cannot be effective unless the purifying spell can be accurately released on these lines. However, his floating speed was no lower than those chaotic shards, and it was too difficult to get the spell to be cast accurately on a thin line. Pannis explains: " The second is their attack, let's talk about the previous warped shadows, because the speed of the warped shadows is too slow, so you haven't seen the attacks of the twisted shadows, after they touch the enemy, they will be attached to the enemy's body little by little, once they are attached to the whole body, it is difficult to get rid of, because they are only flat existence, there is no height, you can't tear them off your limbs, therefore, unless you cut off the parts that are attached to them, you will continue to be assimilated by them, until you also become a twisted soulγ These lines are actually similar, but they are three-dimensional, and they are line-like, and the speed is also fast, after encountering the enemy, it is directly attached to the enemy's body like a tattoo, and it can't be removed, even if you want to cut off the limbs, at this time, you can't do it, because their volume, no, the area is relatively large, covering a lot of parts of the body, if you cut off all the parts they interfere with, then a person basically has nothing left. Of course, the line type also has the advantage that if you have time, you can cut off the muscles that are attached to the line, but I don't think we have enough time to cut carefully after alarming the twisted soul.
