Chapter 16: The Evil God Seed
Boulder Village has never been so lively, and the bonfire carnival doesn't end until late at night. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Mondo lay on the bed, tossing and turning and unable to sleep. After receiving the blessing of Agamagan, he was already in a state of full blood, and his mental and physical state was perfect, and he could not enter the shamanic soul realm again.
Moreover, if you are targeted by an evil god, can you still sleep?
He pondered the scene that happened in the wild boar man's labyrinth, the blessing of the evil god, only cured the backlash brought by the murderous aura, and slightly increased his strength, and the level of this blessing seemed to be too weak. It is said that many boar people who received the blessing rose through the ranks overnight, from ordinary warriors to wild boar warriors.
The Boar Man Berserker is an existence comparable to the Orc Berserker.
Could it be that the blessing of Agamagam will be reserved?
What else did he leave in my body?
Mondo's mind was full of cranky thoughts, and he really didn't feel sleepy. If this issue is not clarified, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future. Historically, orcs who have been confused by evil spirits and finally lost themselves have emerged one after another. Even the Sword Saint who went to the darkness and depraved grabbed a handful.
Mondo thought about it carefully, sat upright on the bed, gathered his spirit, and made a mysterious shamanic mudra with his hands. After coming to Razor Ridge for more than two months, he has always been immersed in cultivating war songs, and has not yet explored the shamanic world.
With Prophet Gesar as his tutor, Mondo is no stranger to all things shamanic except for a damn epiphany!
Now, he is able to touch souls in dreams, which is the only criterion for becoming a shaman's apprentice.
What the soul is, no one can say. However, the soul is real and does possess power.
Among all the races in the Karen Continent, there are people who have explored the mysteries of the soul, and they are called various titles: prophets, guides, and sages...... They have a common profession - shamans.
As a result, shamanic spells are as complex as arcane magic. However, all shamans are capable of casting the "Soul Eye".
Strictly speaking, the "soul eye" is not a spell, but an act of the shaman—to condense the soul source and thus to examine the world in the form of a soul.
Mundo thought back to the methods Gesar had taught, slowly mobilizing his consciousness and letting his spirit become ethereal and empty little by little. For him, who can enter the "soul realm" every night, the soul is already very powerful, so this spell is very simple.
Gradually, Mondo felt that he was becoming lighter and lighter, as if floating in mid-air, and his thoughts became clearer and clearer, as if he was gradually breaking away from all shackles and becoming infinitely free and detached. This state is similar to the legendary soul detachment.
At this time, Mondo's body becomes a "shell", and the soul is condensed in one point, only hidden in the "shell". At this moment, the spirit and the body are in a state of relative separation, the body loses all spirituality, and all five senses fall into a dead silence.
If anyone was watching from the side, they would be surprised, because Mondo was gradually losing all of his vital signs. Breathing, heartbeat, all stopped. If someone stabbed him with a sword, it would not hurt at all.
It's like a computer, without an operating system, it's just a dead thing.
The separation of the soul and the flesh allows the soul to transcend the outside world and observe the world in another way, which is called the "soul eye".
The "Soul Eye" examined his own body, and suddenly saw a vast and magnificent world!
Unlike what is seen with the naked eye, soul vision ignores concrete substances such as flesh and bones, and looks directly at the source.
The so-called origin is the important element that makes up the physical body.
The shamanic worldview holds that everything in the world, including flesh and blood, is made up of an infinite number of elements, the most common being earth, water, fire, and wind. However, 99.9999% of the elements have been embodied and made up flesh and blood.
What is concrete, for example, the water element, the most common form is liquid water, and the earth element, which manifests into soil, and thus spiritually disperses.
In the human body, there are still very small amounts of elements, which have not been concretized, and still remain in a state of "deification" - that is, the origin of the elements. They are known as "Apotheosis Elements" and are more commonly known as Magical Elements.
However, the magic elements in the broad sense are all-encompassing, arcane elements, shadow elements, holy light energy, and ghost energy...... All are called magical elements.
Most of the magic such as the water elemental manipulated by the arcane mage is not a true "deified element", but a simulated form of arcane energy. Because the origin of the elements is extremely unstable, once exposed to the material world, the spirituality will rapidly decay until it materializes into various material forms.
Most mages do not have direct control over the elements, but can be converted through arcane energy, which they are properly called arcane mages.
The proportion of the "deified elements" in the physical body, although so small that it is almost negligible, becomes a bridge between the soul and the body, allowing the physical body to be spiritual. Without them, the spirit and the flesh cannot fit together perfectly.
The "humanoid star sea" seen by the soul eye, in which the starlight vein, is the "deified element", which supports the entire soul world.
This theory was expounded by the Great Prophet Gesar, who said that any living being has "deified elements" in its body.
However, Mondo can only listen to this theory as a story, and it is impossible to have any understanding. Even Gesar himself claims that he has only one foot in the door of the study of the human element, and he has not achieved anything.
"Humanoid Star Sea" is a vast black space, almost without end, in the darkness, but there are countless stars flickering, some dim and weak, some as bright as pearls, some like flames burning, some rippling blue light.
The colors of the star's rays represent different elements, and the distribution seems to follow a certain rhythm.
Mondo had no intention of delving into it, this knowledge was so profound that he did not dare to set foot in it for the time being.
Like stargazing, the "eye of the soul" walks around and sees the flowers very quickly.
Mondo quickly saw a place where the stars gathered, and the starlight here was so dense that it was like the Milky Way in the sky, full of stars. There is no doubt that this is the center of the human body - where the head is located.
With just one glance, the "Soul Eye" saw that there was something out of place in this starry sky--the clouds and mist. Suspended in the starry sky, it exudes a divine aura, majestic and powerful, making people feel the urge to bow down.
Soul vision, in addition to seeing "deified elements", can also perceive any soul-related existence, such as thoughts, divine thoughts, and so on.
Mondo condensed his soul power with all his strength, and climbed the vision of the "Soul Eye" to the extreme, and finally saw a little clearly, and in the mist, the appearance of a golden boar appeared.
The image of the golden boar is so real. Mondo looked at it and saw the glow of wisdom in its eyes—the two saw each other.
Agamagan!
"The evil god of the wild boar man really planted a seed in his body. Mondo opened his eyes and returned to the real world, a layer of cold sweat already welling up on his back.
Casting the "Soul Eye" requires extreme spiritual cohesion, and after a little trance, you will return to the material world. Thankfully, this spell doesn't have any side effects.
Returning to the material world, the appearance of the golden boar's head came to mind more profoundly. There is no doubt that it is the god of the boar people, Agamagan.
After a moment of silence, Mondo's mood quickly calmed down, and a tense heart relaxed slightly. For orcs, the danger that can be seen with the eyes is always easier to deal with than the unknown in the dark.
Moreover, the clear avatar of Agamagan did not seem to show any evil aura, which made him feel a trace of inexplicable relief.
Call!
Mondo breathed a long sigh of relief, carefully sorted out his thoughts, and realized that things might not be so bad.
A small "soul vision" can detect what Aga Magan left behind, indicating that this so-called "ancient god" is not very powerful.
The most terrifying thing about the gods is that their power is unfathomable and full of unknown horrors. So, is a god whose divine power can be detected still a god?
Dorot is blessed with many boar people every year, and although they have power, they are still slaughtered in the end. The boar people don't seem to have the means to increase their strength, and they are good for nothing but the blessing of the gods.
Moreover, in countless legends of the Orc Empire, after the fall of the soul of the Orc Sword Master, he was washed by the shaman and rediscovered himself, such stories are almost popular in Ogurita.
Being entangled by such a bad god, I'm afraid there's nothing to be afraid of. Big deal, let the great Gesar give himself a "purification".
After trying to comfort himself, Mondo was completely relaxed and decided not to think about Agamagan's affairs. Now, there's something more meaningful to do.
In addition to the "Soul Eye", there are many other spells that the Shaman's apprentice can cast.
From the ancient orc tribes, shamans have had the ability to probe the unknown and are adept at spotting dangers in the dark. So the pinnacle of this profession is called a prophet.
The "soul eye" of the shaman's apprentice can only probe the "deified elements" in his own body. If you cultivate to a higher level, you can also see through the elemental fog around you, which is called the "Elemental Eye" or "True Sight Eye". However, its function is primarily to study elements, not reconnaissance.
The authentic probing spell that an apprentice shaman can cast is called Soul Touch.
It is also to use the power of the soul origin to manifest a series of tentacles that extend to all directions. Wherever the tentacles stretch out, you can see the real scene around you.
However, this spell has a big problem - it uses the soul to detect the darkness, and when it encounters an accident, the soul is damaged at least and the soul is scattered. Many strong people can easily sense the existence of soul tentacles, and thus take the opportunity to destroy the soul of the shaman.
As a result, there is an official version of this spell - "Dark Perspective". You can probe the darkness at will, and you are not afraid of being eaten by the soul. However, you must officially advance to the Shaman class before you can cast it.
At this moment, in the small village of Razor Ridge, there are only friends, no enemies, and no worries.
Mondo hesitated for only a second, and then cast the "Soul Touch".
