094. What you do is what you want
The two-headed giant snake was obviously enraged, and raised a pair of huge heads to chase after it, the giant tail swayed quickly on the water, and the waves were like flying shots, but it was always a little slower than the speed of the invisible ship, and seeing Amon and the others fleeing farther and farther.
The serpent's two heads opened their mouths at the same time and let out a loud roar, with a tremor that resonated on the surface of the water. There are countless scaly ripples in the water, the lake is shaking, and many fish are popping out of the water with their white bellies, and they have already died of their intestines.
This kind of shock wave that resonates with the surface of the water carries a huge lethal power, and Medanzo and the others will not be harmed if they have the protection of invisible space. But the speed of the ship slowed down, and the shaking water created a resistance, and there was a force in the humming air to block it.
Medanzo turned around and stood at the stern of the boat, driving the invisible ship to break through the obstacles and fly, swinging his staff vigorously while holding the long sword with the other hand, with a very solemn expression. The way he wielded his staff was far less than usual, as if he was brushing the wall with a heavy brush, and he looked very struggling, and beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead.
With each swing of his staff, the vision behind the ship blurred for a while, as if space was distorted, and the shock wave disappeared for a moment, and the invisible ship suddenly accelerated forward for a distance. Using the Spatial Divine Technique to block the Giant Serpent's pursuit was indeed the most effective means, but the power of the Spatial Law he operated was quickly dispersed by the sonic shock, and the two-headed Giant Serpent was still chasing closer and closer.
Thinking that Amon had just broken through from the fourth level to the fifth level achievement, and the real strength had not yet come to cultivate, he was not an opponent at all when he encountered that strange snake in the Youdi River, and he used a scroll to get it. Now Medanzo has reached the peak of the fifth level of strength, and has the protection of a magical invisible ship, and when he encounters the strange snake at the beginning, as long as he doesn't make mistakes, it should be enough to let go of the battle.
But today the two-headed serpent was clearly much more powerful than the one Amun had encountered in the Eude. Amon saw it very clearly, even if Medanzo had reached the peak achievement of the fifth level of the power of one body and two sides, he would not be able to handle it. He was able to try out the details of the strange snake first, and it was rare that he could persist in fighting until now.
Amon quietly took out the Tears of the Gods and quickly embedded them into the top of the staff, this was the first time he used the Tears of the Gods to inlay the staff, and the iron branch staff finally fully exerted its power. Seeing that the strange snake was already chasing very close, the two huge heads were striking dozens of feet away, one left and one right. Its eyes are strange, one eye on each skull is black-brown and the other is blue-green.
Medanzo shouted: "God Amon, I can't stop it! This strange snake is infinitely powerful, how can it still be magical, does he also understand the power of two sides of the same body?"
Amon was unintentionally verbose, and suddenly shouted, "Stop the ship!"
With a swing of his staff, a spatial rift appeared in front of the giant snake, no longer urging the invisible ship to fly away. The boat continued to drift in its usual name, slowing down slowly on the trembling surface of the lake. The roar of the strange snake shattered the distorted space, and two heads emerged from the chaos, the scales on the snake's neck glowing, alternating yellow-brown and turquoise, as if they were about to launch some divine magic.
At this moment, a golden light scattered in mid-air, accompanied by the sound of chanting: "Strength is accompanied by a strong heart, who struggles in front of faith? Thinking that he has broken free from the cage, but ushered in the ...... chains"
This is the magic of the Temple of Isis, called "Golden Chain", which is actually a very mysterious high-level space magic technique, the effect is similar to the mid-level magic "Space Confinement", but the power is more magical and powerful. This was not taught by an old madman, but Amon secretly learned it by himself by looking through the classics, and he was very handy with the iron branch staff.
The golden light condensed as if it were an invisible shackle, entangling and imprisoning the two huge heads of the giant snake. The body of the snake floating on the water writhed and struggled, but the snake's neck seemed to be tightly grasped by two invisible giant hands. Amon had already jumped high and swung his staff out, don't forget that he was also a sixth-level warrior, and his staff was also a weapon.
Amon jumped more than thirty feet high, and the iron rod hit the bifurcation between the two snake's necks and the snake's body, but there was no scene of snake scales splashing, and there was not even a sound. A violent blast of force scattered along the snake's body, much like mining cores with a sledgehammer, reminiscent of the miners' skills in Duketown.
The impact of this staff was really not small, and Amon's figure was bounced back and fell onto the ship, and the huge habitual surname caused the invisible ship to shoot backwards dozens of feet away. And the more than 200-foot-long snake body had a momentary freeze, as if it was temporarily paralyzed by the scattered impact. Amun's staff naturally couldn't kill the two-headed monster snake, and he didn't even want to hurt it, just let the snake's body freeze for a moment.
Amon fell back into the boat and lifted his staff upward, and the lake rolled up to envelop the huge snake body, forming a huge ice shell. The ice was thick and solid, forming almost instantaneously as the waves of water surged, but it did not directly enclose the serpent's body. There was still a layer of space between the ice and the snake's body, and a layer of flames quickly ignited against the giant snake's body. The flames were light red at first, then bluish-white, and finally pale gold.
There was a scorching heat wrapped in a piece of ice, but the direction of the flames was all towards the body of the strange snake, and the heat penetrated into the scales, but it did not melt the ice that surrounded the outer layer. The two-headed snake hissed in pain and writhed wildly, cracking the huge ice. The flames suddenly vanished, and all of them burrowed beneath the scales.
Cracks appeared in the ice shell due to the serpent's struggle, but the cracks quickly healed, and the huge ice shell quickly grew inward and became thicker and thicker, finally completely enveloping the serpent's body. The serpent's body glowed, dark brown and turquoise rolling and flickering, as if it had used some kind of magic to resist the scorching burn. But at the moment when the ice crust grew and wrapped around the body, a series of explosions suddenly sounded.
The scorching heat and the cold suddenly clashed, and the ice inside was instantly melted into an expanding vapor, and the huge pressure shattered the snake's body and the ice shell together, and the behemoth's scales were splashed, the flesh and blood were blurred, and it was still rolling and struggling frantically. Amon let out a loud shout and quickly stirred up his staff, his movements looking strange. Along the serpent's body, the space twisted and blurred, and countless writhing rifts appeared.
As the ice shell expanded and exploded, the spatial rift also split apart, and the body of the strange snake finally broke apart, turning into flesh and blood blurred fragments of size, mixed with the broken ice and floating on the surface of the lake, it was finally wiped out!
Medanzo sat on the boat and sighed in surprise: "God Amon, you can do it as soon as you make a move, what kind of magic is this?"
Amon replied, "A Song of Ice and Fire." With a wave of his staff, he used the Wind Charm Dance to collect all the intact scales and bones in the water, including two sinews and eight fangs.
Medanzo was surprised: "I haven't heard of it?"
Amon replied, "I haven't heard of it either, but I have seen this kind of magic in a scroll, which is the condensation of the writer's mana, and I learned it from the scroll. ...... The strange snake is dead, continue to sail to the other side, and don't disturb me for a while. ”
Amon lay his staff flat on his lap and sat in the middle of the boat with his eyes closed and entered a deep meditation state, as if he had turned a blind eye to the terrible scene on the lake after the battle, and he had not made any action at all. Medanzo was puzzled, but he couldn't ask questions, and the battle almost made him lose his strength, and he could only barely urge the big boat to drift slowly to the other side of the lake.
The lake was very large, and the boat went very slowly, and it took a day and a night to drift to the shore. Amon sat there as if he were unaware of everything around him, but fortunately he didn't encounter any other monsters in the lake. Schrödinger half-twisted his body and kept looking at Amun, his expression was very complicated, as if he was very relieved and as if he was very worried.
It's not that Amon wants to ignore his external affairs at such a time, just after he killed the two-headed monster snake, he suddenly felt a trance, and there was a certain realization in the trance, like a window was about to be opened, and he immediately immersed himself in his mind to capture and experience this line of aura.
The harvest of this trip is not small, and the real harvest is certainly not what is collected. Encountering the Scorpion King Surabaya and making such a vow made Amon finally solve the long-standing doubts in his heart. If the old madman and Bell were still around, Amon could tell them unequivocally that the path they had spent their lives searching for existed, and that the power of two sides was not pioneered by the old madman, and that the path had been there since ancient times.
Listening to the tone of the Scorpion King, it was obvious that he knew this secret, and he knew very well that not only a human being, but even a scorpion, if he brought this path to the end, could also become a legendary god. When Amon boarded the invisible ship again and sailed to the other side, there was no doubt about the answer to this question.
Unfolding his bones to become an invisible ship, Schrödinger jumped on the bow of the ship and sailed towards the unknown distance, this scene like reincarnation has made Amon seem to feel. Attacked by Humbaba's descendants in the lake, Amon eventually slew the serpent, using a song of ice and fire, but without the help of a scroll.
He had learned from the scrolls and the secret magic of the Temple of Isis, which no one had ever taught him, not even the miners of Naduk, who had not been granted permission by the gods. Amon had a feeling that the way to become a god was there, whether the gods existed or not, and that the legendary gods had just walked this path and passed all kinds of tests that seemed inconceivable to ordinary people.
But these trials are always present, and even immortal gods can fall.
Amon clearly saw the path he had traveled and the future he would face. He had wanted to see Echo, and when he did, she was the holy daughter of the temple of Isis, but he could still stare into her eyes. He wants to return to the town of Duk and experience all kinds of dangers through the desert, and on the other side is the legendary land of Malduk, where he grew up.
His wishes and his actions, his pursuits and his path, in the distance on the other side, seem to be the reincarnation of fate, it can be said that this is the fusion of faith, but also the fusion of faith.
The hull of the ship suddenly shook, and instead of encountering a monster, it reached the lake and ran aground on the shore. Amon opened his eyes and stood up, stepping off the ship with his staff in hand. The scene in front of him was a bit like a dream, he finally set foot on this land, and the feeling of being down-to-earth was so real that his body almost didn't stand still.
Medanzo, who was following behind, was already exhausted with his staff, and when he saw that Amon was about to fall, he quickly reached out to help. However, as soon as Amon turned around, he stood still and asked, "Has it already arrived?"
Isn't this nonsense? He's not invisible! Medanzo gasped and replied, "I've arrived, I'm finally on the shore, and I'm almost tired of lying down." O god Amun, you have finally woken up!"
Amon glanced at Medanzo and said, "Well, your appearance is almost unbearable." Let's go back to the boat, you have a good rest, I'll drive the boat. ”
Medanzo asked puzzledly, "I finally got ashore, where else do you want to take the boat?"
Amun, who had just stepped off the boat, turned around and got on the boat again, and replied, "Nature is the way forward." ”
Medanzo had to get on the boat again, sit down and catch his breath, while Schrödinger remained on the boat, looking at Amon as if he were smiling. Then the amazing thing happened again, Amon lifted his staff forward, and the invisible ship actually came ashore, and slid forward on the grassy soft mud, occasionally blocked by bushes and rocks, and the hull floated lightly past the treetops, as if it were still sailing in the water.
Mei Danzo was dumbfounded and said, "My God, what kind of power is this? Your mana has increased so much overnight!"
Amon shook his head: "My mana hasn't increased much, and I haven't even fully recovered after yesterday's battle, but the way I use my power is different." The perfect fusion of mind and power, it is no longer the power of awakening, but the power that belongs to me naturally, so I can do things that I couldn't do before. ”
Medanzo blinked: "God Amon, I didn't understand too much. ”
Amon explains: "It was like opening a window to see the world and myself more clearly. It's like the boat under your feet, if you can't find it, how can you harness it? Low-level, intermediate-level, and high-level divine arts are different ways of using power, awakening, using, transforming, and finally merging with the body and mind, as if they are innate, and they don't need to think about it. ”
Medanzo was stunned for a long time before he reacted, and asked, "Are you already ......?"
Amon nodded faintly, and there was no surprise in his voice: "Yes, I already have a seventh-level achievement, and I am a great magician, and according to the law of power of one body and two sides, I will also be a great warrior." ”
Medanzo exclaimed, "You must be a god born into the world, as far as I know, you are the youngest great magician or magician on the continent, and at the same time the youngest great warrior. ”
On this day, Amon happened to be eighteen years old and finally broke through the seventh-level achievement of the power of two sides of one body. The old madman once said that when this day comes, Amon will no longer be taboo about the status of a magician, and the temple of any city-state will be willing to recruit him, not only to give him the status of nobleman, but also to enjoy the status of honor.
The day finally came, but Amon smiled bitterly when he remembered the old madman's message, because the situation was a little different from what he expected. Amon's identity can no longer appear as a great magician, because he is also a great warrior, and in the Tianshu Continent, he has not heard of anyone who can master this kind of power.
He had already appeared as a samurai in the Temple of Isis, and even if he became a great samurai, he could not become a great sorcerer at the same time. If this secret is revealed, you can imagine what kind of uproar it will cause, and I am afraid that it will also attract the punishment of the gods. If he returned to the temple of Isis, he would only be a great warrior, which was exactly what the Holy Maiden of Mary wanted.
But in other places, a seventh-level great magician would indeed have a lot of convenience in acting, at least he could use the name Aroha to appear, and he didn't have to hide his knowledge of magic too much.
Thinking of this, he turned his head and said to Medanzo: "You don't have to envy anyone's achievements, take a good rest, feel that your strength is restored, and there will be new discoveries, which is the most important thing for you now." ”
Medanzo sat down to rest, and also entered the state of divine meditation, he was so tired that he could barely move, and just now his mouth was not idle. The invisible ship glided through the soft mud and long grass, and after the small grassland by the lake, an endless swamp appeared in front of it. Everywhere there is bubbling mud, large and small pools, and trees outcropping out of the water, which cannot be crossed on foot, and there is no way to go at all.
The newly promoted archmage Amon piloted an invisible ship, specially picking swamps and water to walk, sliding and flying with two people and a cat, almost completely ignoring the hardships and ruggedness. Amon was also familiar with the power that had just been fused into his body and mind, and although it was not yet powerful, it was a completely new feeling.
It was as if he had entered a new world, and the world in front of him was the lost home he wanted to find.
Amon and Medanzo were silent, but Schrödinger yawned and meowed twice in dissatisfaction. Amon thought that another monster had appeared, but he didn't find any movement for a long time after launching the detection technique. Schrödinger raised his voice and shouted twice, and then he reacted: "Oh, I'm so sorry, it's been two days and one night, and I forgot other things when I was in a hurry." Don't worry, I'll find a place to park the boat and get you a good meal of wine and meat, it's been a hard two days!"
Amon is already a rare great magician and great warrior on the mainland, and no matter what he appears in, he will enjoy an honorable status wherever he appears. But Amon is still the miner Amon in Duk Town, and Schrödinger is still the commanding cat, and he didn't take a great magician and a great warrior in his eyes, and squatted there with a full shelf and nodded with satisfaction, waiting for Amon to prepare wine and meat for it.
