Chapter 205: Sleeping Figure, Extreme South Shock! (6,000 words, please subscribe!) )
The top of the Wind God Tower.
Leo reached out and stroked his forehead.
There, there is a sigil that is shining brightly.
——
[Mark of the Guardian of the Pilgrimage]: You have followed the first footprints, stepped on the Pilgrimage Road, and followed the path of the first wind to the top of the Wind God Tower. You are the guardian of the wind, and the wind glorifies you.
[Blessing Effect]: Gain Passive Skill [Wind Embrace]
——
[Passive: Wind Embrace]: The first wind blesses you, permanently increasing your Wind Attribute Mana utilization rate by 5%.
——
[Detected your current passive skill [Wind Guardian], which is highly ......compatible with [Wind Embrace]]
[[Wind Guardian], [Wind Embrace] Fusion ......]
[Congratulations, you have obtained a high-level passive: [Embrace of the First Wind]]
——
[High-level Passive: Embrace of the First Wind]: The initial wind surrounds the body, with a constant increase of 20% speed and a permanent increase of 10% in the utilization rate of wind attribute mana.
This is a miracle from God!
——
Looking at the hint on the character panel in front of him, Leo showed a strong sense of joy in his eyes.
The effect of [Wind Guardian] is a constant increase of 10% speed.
The effect of [Wind Embrace] is to permanently increase the utilization rate of wind attribute mana by 5%.
Now the fusion of the two has caused the original skill to disappear, but it has brought Leo a more effective [high-level passive] - the embrace of the first wind.
20% constant speed increase, 10% wind attribute mana utilization permanently increased.
The effect is doubled!
Leo could feel that the flow of time seemed to be slower for him, but it was only an illusion.
The flow of time is constant, and the reason why he feels this way is only because of the "sequelae" caused by the sudden increase in the speed of his nerve reflexes.
A constant speed increase of 20% means that Leo will be 20% faster than the others at the same level, which is a huge advantage.
The increase in speed is certainly a surprise, but what makes Leo even happier is the second effect of [High-level Passive: First Wind Embrace]: a permanent increase of 10% of the mana utilization rate of the wind attribute.
The key to improving the attack power of the transcendent in the "Magic Sword Technique" lies in the magic pattern, and the effect of the magic pattern is to build a temporary magic pattern through the magic power in the body to improve the magic power utilization of the next attack.
But now, Leo doesn't need to build a magic pattern to permanently increase his mana utilization by 10%.
Under normal circumstances, the magic utilization rate of the transcendent is 15%~20%, and Leo's own magic utilization rate is 20%, and with the blessing of [High-level Passive: First Wind Embrace], his magic utilization rate skyrockets to 30%.
In a sense, the power of each of his ordinary attacks with mana has been increased by 50%!
Although it is said that for the current Leo, the combat power is mainly focused on the sword intent system, but it is also commendable that the magic power system can get such a harvest.
Retracting his gaze from the character panel, Leo cast his gaze on Acater, who was beside him.
At this moment, on Acat's forehead, the "Mark of the Pilgrim" radiated a brilliant light.
Under this light, Acat's soul, which was on the verge of collapse due to the use of secret techniques, was reunited.
Not only that, but the aura on his body was also constantly rising, and the magic power fluctuated stronger and stronger.
This is, promoted to legend?
Leo raised his eyebrows, and after a moment's thought, he understood the point.
If a half-step legend wants to be promoted to a legend, he needs to find a "path" that his soul recognizes, and such a condition is not difficult to say, and it is not easy to say that it is simple.
Some half-step legends may take a lifetime to find in old age, while some legends can quickly find their own "path" when they can be enlightened at a certain opportunity.
Find your way and practice it, and you'll become a legend.
For Acat, the Pilgrimage of the Holy Wind is his greatest obsession so far, and now that he has completed the Pilgrimage, in a sense, he has found and practiced the "Way".
Therefore, it is not surprising that he was promoted to a legend.
Arcat's promotion to legend and Leo was genuinely happy for him.
He couldn't help but think about his own "path".
After this tour, Leo has a clearer understanding of his "path" in his heart, and I believe that it will not be long before he can determine it and become a legend.
It won't be long.
Because this "path" was in his heart from the beginning, it was only because he was not "convinced" enough to be recognized by the soul.
But now it's different.
After being promoted to celestial, many things had a different view in his heart.
Acat's promotion to legend didn't take much time.
It was only ten minutes before and after, and when all the magic around him condensed back into his body, Arcater slowly opened his eyes.
"Congratulations, my knight." Leo quipped.
"Mr. Li, don't make fun of me." Acater shook his head helplessly, and his eyes also flashed with joy.
Promoting to a legend is something that every professional dreams of when he embarks on his career path, and he is naturally no exception.
It's just that, I didn't expect that I would be promoted in such a way.
"By the way, Acat, our pilgrimage ceremony is also completed, what should we do next?" As the blue light dissipated, the original wind also dissipated without a trace, and only the two of them stood here at the top of the huge Wind God Tower.
......Hearing this question, Acater was also silent, with a little confusion in his eyes: "...... According to the experience passed down from the family, after each pilgrimage ceremony, the pilgrim and the guardian of the pilgrimage will return to the Aeolus Tower, and I don't know what is going on now. ”
Leo was speechless for a moment, and sighed: "Then let's wait here first, and see if we will be sent back later, by the way, you can take a look at the scenery on the dome, it will be of great help to the perception of the magic of the wind attribute, I'll go to the side and take a look." ”
Acat nodded.
His perception ability is far inferior to Mr. Li, yes, at the beginning, he was just shocked, and he didn't feel too much from the flow of the wind, but now after being promoted to legend, his perception ability has been greatly improved, and he vaguely perceives that the flow of the wind above the dome contains a deep mystery.
Such a precious opportunity cannot be wasted.
Leo walked to the edge of the altar and came to the stone pillar where the floating statue was barely visible.
After a long closer look, he withdrew his gaze in disappointment.
The sculpture of the stone is very strong, and you will not get more useful information from close observation.
At the edge of the altar, there was an endless sea of thick clouds, and Leo looked up, even if he used the "Eagle Eye", it didn't have much effect.
However, the view is good.
Reassuring himself, Leo walked back to the center of the altar.
Since there are no additional gains, let's also take a look at the wind in the sky.
The flow of the wind above the dome was useful not only to Acater, but also to him.
Sitting cross-legged in the center of the altar, Leo was about to gaze at the dome on a whim.
What if I were at the top of the Fengshen Tower and unfolding the "Celestial and Human Realm"?
As soon as this thought came to mind, it quickly took over all his thoughts.
Subconsciously, the "Heart of Heaven and Man" in the depths of Leo's soul throbbed, and an invisible ripple instantly enveloped the entire altar.
"Hum—"
As he was about to compare the difference between the "Celestial and Human Realm" unfolding at the top of the Wind God Tower and the "Celestial and Human Realm" unfolding in other places, Li Ao suddenly felt that the vision in front of him began to distort and shape the lake.
This feeling is as if a huge whirlpool black hole appeared in front of you, slowly swallowing everything up, and even the light is difficult to escape.
Leo felt that his consciousness was being pulled by this inexplicable black hole, constantly falling, falling...... This feeling reminded him of the feeling he had when he first entered the dream world a long time ago.
It seemed like a blink of an eye, and it seemed like a long time had passed, and at the moment when the sense of falling disappeared, the black hole in front of Leo's eyes blurred out, revealing a strange space.
It was a starry sky.
Countless points of light, shimmering in different shades of light, spread throughout the space, and in the center of the space, there was a slender figure curled up, hands clasped around knees, exuding a hazy halo.
From the points of light scattered in the space, occasionally a surging glimmer of light flows, a single glimmer is almost negligible, but the glimmer of the uncountable points of light in the whole space forms a magnificent scene like an ethereal light belt, enveloping the slender figure.
She was?
She was?
Leo was shocked by the scene in front of him, but before he could take a closer look, an unimaginable repulsion surged over him, making his consciousness feel as if he had been hit in the head by a "giant hammer".
At the last moment when his consciousness began to rise, and his vision fell into darkness, Leo vaguely saw that the slender figure surrounded by ethereal ribbons of light seemed to look up at him.
But before Leo could confirm it, his consciousness had left that strange space, and the world in front of him had returned to the altar at the top of the Anemo Tower.
Above the dome, hurricanes and light currents are still there.
"Whew...... Whoop......"
Leo gasped violently, a look of intense uncertainty in his eyes.
Who is that slender figure just now?!
What is that strange space?
Why, after I open the "Celestial and Human Realm", I enter there?
Do you want to expand the "Heaven and Man Realm" again and take a look......
His thoughts swirled around a thousand times, and suddenly, Leo felt the altar beneath his feet begin to shake.
The sudden change woke up Arkat, who was immersed in observing the changes in the wind in the dome, and he immediately turned his head to look at Leo, and found that Leo was pale, short of breath, and looked extremely consumed.
Before Arkat could speak, a violent shaking sensation came from under his feet, and a pure cyan tree-like vein pattern appeared on the huge altar, and in the next second, the sky-high light completely submerged the bodies of the two.
When the light faded, the altar at the top of the Wind God Tower returned to its original appearance, and faintly, a sigh slowly echoed.
……
"Hoo ......"
When the sound of the wind and the pure blue light in front of them disappeared, Leo and Arcater returned to the bottom of the Anemo Tower.
Not far away, the half-illusory, half-real "Gate of the First Wind" is quietly suspended.
"Mr. Li, what's wrong with you...... That was ...... just now," Acater looked at Leo beside him, his tone filled with anxiety and concern.
Leo was silent for a moment, then shook his head.
He hesitated for a long time, but finally decided not to inform Arcater of the existence of the figure in the strange space just now.
Sometimes, it's not a good thing to know too many things.
Although the legend is no longer a weak person, after all, Acate is just a "Crescent Legend" who was promoted by chance after using a secret method, and his strength is weaker than the normal promotion of "Crescent Legend", which is a little stronger than the "Weak Crescent Legend", and the strength is still too weak after all.
Especially on the premise that Leo has some guesses about the identity of the slender figure in the strange space.
Is she the god of wind?
Three generations of wind gods? The second generation of Fengshen? Or, the first Anemo God?
Leo was silent.
Shaking his head, he looked at Acater and said, "Let's go, it's time for us to go back to the ancient city of Sam." ”
Hearing this, Acater suppressed the worry in his eyes and nodded,
He took the teleportation stone out of his bosom and tried to push it.
There are two ways to use the Teleportation Stone, one is to crush it and force it quickly and forcefully, as Leo did in the previous battle against [Maid], and the other is to input mana and teleport slowly.
After entering the mana, the teleportation stone glows and emits special fluctuations, attempting to teleport by connecting the teleportation patterns engraved on Arkat's body.
But the light lasted less than a second before it dimmed.
Teleport, failed.
"It seems that teleportation is forbidden in the Wind God Tower." Acater patted his forehead: "Mr. Li, it seems that we can only go out and teleport again." ”
Leo nodded: "After the meeting goes out, you will immediately urge the teleportation magic pattern array, and if the Kingdom Council attacks us, I will block it." ”
"Understood." Acater replied.
Although he has been promoted to legend, he understands very well that his current strength is still much worse than that of Mr. Li.
After making a plan, the two walked towards the "Gate of the First Wind".
As soon as he stepped out of the "Gate of the First Wind", Acater injected magic power into the teleportation stone and hooked up the teleportation magic pattern.
And Leo instantly launched the full-power "Heaven and Man Domain", and the range only covered ten meters around his body.
Thinking of the unfathomable Chief Councillor, Leo knew that he could not be too cautious.
However, to Leo's surprise, after walking out of the "Gate of the First Wind", he and Arcater appeared not in the depths of the Kingdom Council Hall when they entered, but at the top of the Kingdom Council Hall.
What appeared in front of them was not the councilor of the kingdom who had attacked them, but a huge old dragon head.
At 300 meters high, it is the tallest building in the entire Windsard except for the Wind God Tower, however, in front of this ancient flying dragon, the Kingdom Council Hall is only a slightly larger toy.
The huge dragon head stopped beside Leo and Arcat, and the wings of the harmony and perfect combination of strength and beauty were gathered behind them, and the scales with gray edges and heavy traces of time were each close to half a meter.
Even though the ancient dragon king had tried his best to restrain his dragon power, Leo and Arcater were still deeply affected by such a close distance.
That's a dragon that goes far beyond the boundaries of legends and belongs to a demigod!
The light of the teleportation stone in Acate's hand flickered a few times, and then the light went out, and the teleportation failed again.
Under the suppression of Long Wei, the "Heaven and Man Domain" around Leo further shrank until there were only three meters left, and it was barely supported.
He raised his head and looked at the old dragon's eyes that were bigger than his body not far in front of him, and found that this ancient dragon king, his eyes only stayed on him for a moment, and then mainly focused on Acat's body.
But just a short moment of gaze projection, Leo felt a sharp boiling sensation in his body.
This is?
Feeling the faint cheers, excitement and surrender in the depths of the blood in his body, Leo suddenly understood.
It's because of the passive skill, the low-level dragon blood body!
——
[Low-level Dragon's Blood Body: Passive]: A person who bathes in dragon's blood (at least pure white) will be baptized by the dragon's factor contained in the dragon's blood, and his basic body attribute will be +10%, and a first-level dragon scale will be built under the skin, which can reduce all damage by 10% (non-magic attack, unable to break the second-level dragon scale). This passive skill can be advanced by bathing in a higher level of Dragon's Blood.
——
This passive skill comes from the Wyvern that attacked outside the Ninth Church of Marim in the dream world.
A pure white-level, that is, a transcendental-level flying dragon.
The reason for the abnormality of the blood in the body at this moment is the dragon factor from this flying dragon.
The dragon clan is a race with a strict class, and the low-level dragon clan has almost no power to resist in the face of the high-level dragon clan, not to mention that what appears in front of Leo at this moment is a king of flying dragons, a mere transcendent-level flying dragon, how can he not be convinced?
The strange feeling of blood was quickly suppressed by Leo.
The pure white level dragon factor, in front of the "heart of heaven and man", there is no storm at all.
Even the "second personality" produced in the aberration [malignancy] stage, after Leo was promoted to a celestial and his sword intent was condensed into the "heart of a celestial", he became extremely well-behaved, not to mention the factor of a mere dragon.
After suppressing the abnormalities in his body, while the Ancient Wyvern King was staring at Acat, Leo observed the surroundings, and only then did he find the councilors of the kingdom suspended in mid-air more than ten thousand meters away.
Facing the ancient Wyvern King of the Demigod Realm, even if he was as strong as the Chief Councilor, he had to be afraid of it.
Staring at the Kingdom Councillors in the distance, Leo suddenly had a trace of doubt in his heart.
Today's Winsted is not the same as in the past, three generations of wind gods, as the emperor of the kingdom, both symbolize divine power and hold royal power.
From the beginning to the end of the parade of the Holy Wind, even the ancient dragon king of the demigod came to Cidu, this mysterious three generations of wind gods have not appeared.
From the mouth of the Twilight Sword Master, Leo learned that when the three generations of the Wind God succeeded him, he seemed to have a conflict with the Knights of Lanloins.
Combined with the introduction in the [Knights of Lanloins] Sword, it can be inferred that the night of the succession of the three generations of wind gods is the night of rebellion when the Knights of Lanloins betray their former glory, and it is also from that time that the blood of the wind inherited by the Knights of Lanloins has become the blood of sin.
To this day, no one knows why the Knights of Lanloin did this, but the contradiction between the three generations of Fengshen and the Knights of Lanloins is obvious.
The "sinners" who rebelled in the past climbed the supreme Fengshen Tower, and it is conceivable that no king can tolerate such a thing.
However, during the entire procession, except for the councilors of the kingdom who made a move, this mysterious three-generation wind god never seemed to have made a move in person, not even in person.
Is it disdainful? Or is there something deeper?
Leo couldn't figure it out.
He couldn't help but think of the slender figure in the strange space he had just seen.
"Hoo ......"
The scorching air currents blow, and the ancient dragon king lowered his head and looked at Acater's eyes, which contained full and complex emotions that outsiders could not understand.
"Winter—"
At this moment, an earth-shattering loud bang rang out.
This voice seems to appear directly in the heart, ignoring the influence of the air medium.
Leo raised his head in a daze, only to see that in the far distance of his vision, in the unknown place thousands of kilometers away, a huge pillar of light as black as ink rose into the sky.
Above the sky dome, the clouds and mist collapsed, and the sky curtain cracked more than a dozen exaggerated gaps under the impact of the dark pillar of light.
Countless black mist poured out from these cracks, and the sound of the wind flowing between heaven and earth seemed to bring sadness.
That is, what?
The sudden change attracted everyone's attention.
Even the members of the kingdom were looking at the extreme south of the continent where the black pillar of light was located at this moment.
"Black Mist...... Pillar of Light ......"
"How is that possible...... How could it be so fast......"
Some parliamentarians said astringently.
At the top of the main hall of the Kingdom Council, a gentle wind lifted the bodies of Leo and Arcat, sending them to the dragon back of the ancient dragon king.
The mighty wings behind the ancient dragon king spread out, and the wingspan was nearly a kilometer.
"...... Uproar"
The howling wind wrinkled, and the Ancient Wyvern King soared into the air, his huge body heading towards the south of the continent.
Leo, Arcat, and the ancient dragon king were gone, and the councilors of the kingdom did not stop them.
First of all, they couldn't defeat the Storm Dragon King of the demigod-level existence, and secondly, compared to dealing with Leo and Acat, the event represented by the appearance of the black mist was the major event that really frightened them!
In comparison, even the parade of the Holy Wind seems to be "insignificant".
……
The sound of the wind echoed in his ears, and the ancient dragon king's flight speed was extremely terrifying.
Every time he spread his wings, the dragon's scales flashed with magical brilliance.
Under the action of some force that Leo could not understand, the resistance of the wind was erased, and even the wind was pushing the flight of the ancient dragon king with all its might.
In just a few minutes, a majestic ancient city fell into the eyes of Leo and Arcat.
The iconic sword-shaped building with a height of 100 meters highlights the name of this ancient city.
The ancient city of Sam.
Approaching the ancient city of Sam, every scale on the body of the ancient Wyvern King shone brightly, and in the light, its size began to shrink, and when it approached the Heavenly Sword Temple, its size became only a hundred meters long.
"Zheng—"
The ancient dragon king's limbs and claws firmly clasped the Heavenly Sword Sanctuary, and a gust of wind blew Leo and Arcatel towards the top of the Heavenly Sword Sanctuary.
There, the Twilight Sword Saint stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the black fog that filled the sky and earth in the south, his face was unprecedentedly solemn: "Black Death." ”
