Unknown space

When his eyes opened, Saiaras saw a world of total darkness.

The sense of gravity in the body and the pressure on the soles of the feet have also completely disappeared, and the whole person seems to be floating in space.

Here, where is it?

Calm down a little, there is no earthfire magma, and there are no legendary demonic beasts, as if the horror of being touched by death just now has never existed.

Saiaras struggled to his feet, and he was surprised to find that all the damage he had done from the beast's soul attack had disappeared.

Could it be that everything that just happened was a nightmare of oneself?

Confused and wary, Saiaras looked around for the answers he wanted. The next moment, in the boundless darkness around him, a white light cluster in the shape of a goose egg suddenly lit up, and the light ball quickly expanded from the size of a goose egg to a human form, and the whole process was like the spread of water ripples.

And it was just as the light cluster expanded to the size of a human form, and he could see the objects inside the light cluster clearly.

That's a person.

A woman, to be exact, dressed in a black researcher's robe of both magic and science, with long red hair covered by a silver half-mask.

"Are you awake?"

It was as if the words sounded directly in Saiaras's mind, and the woman's lips did not open when she said them, so it could be judged that she was not transmitting the sound through sound waves.

"My voice transmits fluctuations through the light membrane between you and me, which in turn stimulates the auditory cortex of the temporal lobes of your cerebral cortex, which directly translates information into nerve impulses in the brain and transmits it to you. ”

Another sentence came straight into Saiaras's head.

Saiaras took a step back, an indescribable flame of terror burning in his heart. It's hard to imagine what kind of strength this woman in front of her has...... Perhaps, what happened before wasn't a nightmare?

Thinking of this, Saiaras couldn't help but start worrying that although his companions didn't know why he suddenly appeared here, everyone must still be fighting hard at this time...... Without themselves, would their stress increase? Are they already in a desperate situation now?

Ediruk, in particular, took the heaviest attacks......

Thinking of Ediruk, a trace of guilt welled up in Saiaras's heart. After all, it was his teacher who pulled himself back from the abyss of death, no matter how he said it. Despite not having a deep contact with each other, the magician treated himself as if he were family......

Although Saiaras still couldn't figure out what Iyales was hiding, it was certain that the kind of sincere care that the magician gave him was not a hint of falsehood.

"Thinking about your companions, look behind you. ”

As if reading Saiaras's heart, the woman's words appeared in his heart again.

The moment he turned around, Saiaras's eyes widened as if in disbelief, a terrible coldness instantly blew out the flickering candle flame in his heart, the constant fear surging in his body was like a flurry of snowflakes, and a sharp pain was like countless tiny ants tearing at his heart. Saiaras ignored the woman, and before his brain could react, he took a few leaps.

In the distance, Edruk lay quietly on the ground, his originally bright and heroic amber eyes cloudy, hollow, and lifeless.

"What's going on......"

Saiaras trembled and walked over to Ediruk, unable to believe his eyes. Edruk's injuries seemed to be worse than he had imagined, and although there were no scars on the outside, the vitality of his body was now like a long river that had broken off in winter, and the dry riverbed always gave people a pale desolation.

He took a deep breath, and for a moment the air was cold enough to even lose the warmth of the sun's breath poured into his body mixed with a faint aura of death, and a terrifying gloom gradually permeated and enveloped it.

With difficulty, Saiaras stretched out his finger and tapped it on the knot of his spiritual veins, and then the vast vitality in his body began to slowly flow into Edruk's body. Although Saiaras wasn't sure if the mysterious woman was friend or foe, or if she would help Edruk, the mortally injured companion fell at his feet at this moment.

There is no time left......

After a while, Edruk's pupils, which were as empty as corpses, gradually showed a faint hint of vitality.

Saiaras was overjoyed, trying to concentrate, controlling the transmission of life force, and observing everything around him, he was not sure how much life Edruk needed to recover, and he didn't know if the mysterious woman would be his enemy.

But fortunately, the other party seems to have no change for the time being.

Saiaras anxiously waited for Edruk's recovery, his magic power had reached its peak unconsciously, and at this moment he was like a hunter lost in the midnight forest. In the unknown darkness, all kinds of terrible beasts are hidden. Some of them are fierce and fierce, some are terrifying, some are in groups, and they are alone and the only thing they can protect themselves is their hands, which will never betray them.

"Thank you for your hard work, but this is not going to work......"

However, before Saiaras could come to his senses, a heart-rending scream suddenly rang out

Edruk, who had been lying on the ground like a dead body, suddenly opened his eyes. The hollow eyes emitted an eerie blood-red glow that made people feel a creepy feeling.

"What's going on?"

To his horror, Saiaras found a massive amount of blood spurting out of Edruk's mouth, nose, and even ear holes like a rekindled volcano. Soon, blood soaked most of his chest, making him look more like a living ghost crawling out of the dead bodies of hell.

He was about to stop the bleeding, but then, Saiaras was too frightened to speak.

Ediruk, whose breath had gradually stabilized, suddenly rolled wildly on the ground like a demon. The blood that flowed from beneath him spread across the void like a root erosion.

At the same time, Edmiruk's fair skin suddenly cracked, and countless invisible streams of chaotic magic shot out from his body. The vitality that had just been reborn had not stayed in the warm body for a barely long time, and then it flowed out of the wound again. Chaotic and broken blood spread in the void, and the bright red streams made people feel a kind of extremely distorted gloom against the background of the darkness.

"Uh-huh"

Edruk let out a fierce scream, as if he was suffering from burning pain. His eyes were bloodshot and stared hollowly at Saiaras.

Saiarath's heart sank when he looked at him like this.

Suddenly, Ediruk waved his right hand quickly, and a terrifying and disorganized, turbulent tsunami-like magic rushed towards Sayarath.

"What are you doing?"

Saiaras's pupils tightened suddenly, trying to stop Edilluk immediately, but he found himself a step too late, and in an instant, a purple magic array emerged from under Edruk's body, sharp spikes like knives pierced his chest, followed by four other spikes piercing his wrists and ankles at the same time. Blood was strewn to the spikes, and Edruk seemed to be firmly nailed to the ground by five long red spikes

Behind Saiaras, the mysterious woman slowly withdrew her hand, seemingly unconcerned about what she had done.

"You"

"Look at him. The woman's words burst into Saiaras's mind again, dispelling some of his anger.

Edruk lay on the ground again, his eyes closed, his face unusually pale from the massive blood loss. At the same time, magic continued to shoot out of his body, slicing through the flesh of his newly healed skin.

The blood flowed out slowly, but it was no longer the bright red that a normal person would have when he was injured, but a faint liquid that looked like pink. It seemed that they had dissolved Edruk's life, dragging him little by little towards the Yellow Spring, where there was no point of return. The open wound healed gradually, but at a slower rate than a normal person. Disorganized but surging magic erupted from Edruk's body more and more frequently, each time inflicting more severe damage on his newly healed body.

After the magic array disappeared, Saiaras immediately lifted Edruk up, put his head on his shoulder, and at the same time turned the pure power of his whole body, concentrated it on his own hands, and replenished the pure energy into Ediruk's body, while his wounds healed quickly.

But...... I don't know why, when this energy poured into Edruk's body to repair his injuries, another force would suddenly appear, destroying the originally repaired wounds, and so on and so on, Saiaras actually didn't have any effect.

The breath of life and death alternated between Edruk's body, and from time to time some black and white light appeared on his body, but soon it dimmed again.

Saiaras looked at Edruk's slightly wicked handsome face, and he didn't know why Eyales' spring smile appeared in his eyes. Although Saiaras had not been in contact with the magician for a long time, he was impressed by his gentleness. And now, is he going to watch his students die......

Thinking of this, Saiaras's heart felt like a knife. The feeling of powerlessness that he once thought he would never encounter again was now showing off his existence to him with great clarity.

However, it was at this time that a change happened.

The originally dark and deep void suddenly flashed with a dazzling golden light, piercing Saiaras who almost couldn't open his eyes. In an instant, the power of Saiaras's whole body immediately boiled, countless golden runes appeared on the surface of his body, and the power of life reached the extreme in his body in an instant, not only recovering the strength he had lost before, but also some surplus.

But the light was much dimmer in comparison.

Saiaras stared at Edruk, who was still asleep, his face full of wild beauty was uneasy and nervous at the moment. The absolute horror seemed to be as if countless ice edges that were so small that they could not be seen pierced through his eyes, unscrupulously cutting the bond between ** and the soul, pulling at the scarred heart of Saiaras, and the phantom sound of the broken soul ringing in his ears.

At this moment, Ediruk's life-shattering body suddenly seemed to be a flash in the pan, with his heart as the center, countless brilliant and complex strange rune chains that were clearly visible to be broken appeared on his body, like a deep-sea beast breaking through the ice, but soon it completely dimmed.

The power that had been surging like a flood lost its rushing river in an instant, and it rushed like a mad demonic beast, screaming and dragging the world into eternal cold.

What's even more terrifying is that there seems to be a demon hiding in the turbulent magic tsunami. All the chaotic magic seemed to be swallowed by a black hole, frantically surging towards Edruk's heart about a centimeter away.

As soon as the last shred of magic was absorbed, a new inverted pentagram sigil that radiated light appeared on Edilluk's corpse-like body. Then the previous chain runes grew and multiplied as quickly as living strangulation vines, densely covering Ediruk's body, and they indifferently cut and weaved Ediruk's body, constantly separating, converging, shattering, repairing, and finally perfecting. Then the magic seemed to be controlled by divine power, and continued to move into Ediruk's lower abdomen, and finally disappeared.

Saiaras pinched himself hard, the pain telling him that it wasn't a dream, that he had really seen Edruk's new life.

The scarred body healed slowly, and the skin regained its original smoothness. But the blood that originally flowed out had already coagulated on the surface, and the black and red patches made people feel indescribably mad.

This guy is really fateful......

Saiaras, who was a little stunned, wanted to say something, but he moved his lips, but he found that he couldn't say anything.

The next moment, the black-haired boy finally opened his eyes slowly, and staggered to his feet, his amber eyes full of tiredness and weakness, and his voice was hoarse.

"Finally...... Completed the fusion, ah......"

...
