Chapter 43: The Theory of Shackles (I)
The eighteenth floor of the Wizard's Tower.
In the room used to rest, Ovilia, with a red face, lay on the bed, unconscious.
Furren stood aside, frowning.
"It's strange that there is no abnormality in Ovilia's body, the spiritual world is also very stable, and the life energy has always been active."
Then, he looked at Moya and asked:
"Moya, you said that Ovilia suddenly fell into a coma after training with you?"
Moya nodded, looking at Ovilia lying on the bed, a flash of worry flashing in her eyes.
"Could it be because of my junior sister, who took the initiative to enter the state of death induction?"
Suddenly, Yamu, who had been watching from the sidelines, spoke coldly.
"Death Induction?"
Fren muttered, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and Moya and Lumina, who were a little concerned and confused on the side, also reacted suddenly.
That's right! If you think about it carefully, the biggest variable in Ovilia's coma is that there is one more active death induction state.
"Senior sister, she fell into a coma because she couldn't bear the load of actively turning on the death induction?"
Lumina on the side looked at Yamu and asked softly.
"I'm afraid not."
Before Yamu could reply, Moya shook her head and denied Lumina's claim.
He looked at Ovilia and said:
"All the indicators of Ovilia's body are normal, and even the life energy is still in an abnormally active state, which is by no means a manifestation of being unable to withstand the backlash of death induction!"
Hearing this, Yamu nodded, affirming Moya's statement.
Then, his eyes were slightly condensed, he looked at the little girl lying on the bed, and slowly spit out four words.
"The shackles of life."
There was a sudden silence in the room.
"If the shackles of life really exist, then this may be the truth."
After a brief silence, Fren took the initiative to break the silence.
"The reason why Ovilia suddenly fell into a coma is probably because she inadvertently broke through the shackles of her life in order to actively enter the death sensing state, and her body actively entered the coma state under the mechanism of self-protection."
When the three Moya heard Fren's explanation, they did not speak immediately, and seemed to acquiesce to Fren's statement.
After Yamu discovered the existence of the death induction, they worked together to conduct a great deal of research into this state.
After all, it can suddenly increase the reaction speed several times, and if you can take the initiative to master these abilities, then the improvement of strength is definitely not just a little bit of a star!
Therefore, except for Ovilia, the other four people present have actually had a lot of discussion about death induction, but there has not been much substantive progress.
But they weren't completely unrewarded.
Because the ability of death sensing has greatly improved the wizard's self-preservation ability, Yamu and Furon have discussed it a long time ago and told the archwizard about this technique in the name of Furen.
In the end, under the decision of the Grand Wizard, Death Induction became a secret secret method within the battle wizards who were responsible for conducting expeditions with the Grand Wizard.
Because of this, Fren and Yamu were able to obtain a large amount of data.
Although this data did not allow them to study the truth of death induction, they sorted it out and found a few patterns.
First, if you want to master the state of death induction, it is best to be in a state of balance between the physical and mental strength, otherwise the difficulty of mastering will increase a lot.
According to statistics, the percentage of official wizards who have reached the level of Legendary Knight who have successfully mastered death sensing is much higher than that of other official wizards.
Second, the lower the overall realm, the easier it is to grasp the suspicion of death induction.
When the first condition is met, more than 70% of those with full apprentices and below have successfully mastered death sensing, while only about 50% with senior apprentices.
As for official wizards, even if the first condition is met, the percentage of successful mastery of death induction is less than 30%.
At that time, Yamu, Fren and Lumina discussed these laws and concluded a conjecture that could not be proved for the time being:
- Every life may be born with a shackle, and this shackle is to protect life from excessive use of its body.
The most important basis for this conjecture is some knowledge gained from the exchange between Flon and Urus.
According to Urus, when he manipulated the corpse with necromancy, although the corpse's movement agility was much lower than when he was alive, the power he exerted far exceeded that of the corpse's owner when he was still alive.
This increase is related to the situation of the corpse owner before his death, and if it is a knight who has been exercising all year round, it can generally only increase by about 3 times.
But if it is those nobles who hardly exercise much, their power after turning into dead corpses controlled by necromancy can often reach about 5~6 times, and even 8 times as much as extreme ones.
Therefore, at that time, Furren had discussed with Urus and put forward the conjecture of the self-protection mechanism of life.
After Yamu discovered the death induction, this conjecture directly became the core of the conjecture of the shackles of life.
According to their guess, the reason why death induction can greatly improve the body's reaction speed is because in the death induction state, the life shackles that were originally used to protect the body are briefly broken.
If this conjecture is followed, it becomes plausible even as to why the death induction can only be triggered when stimulated by death.
When it is on the verge of death, life actively chooses to break the shackles of life out of the instinct of survival.
Death itself is clearly much more terrifying than the side effects of briefly breaking the shackles of life.
And Yamu at that time put forward a conjecture based on this:
Assuming that the shackles of life really exist, then if you can master the way to break through the shackles of life, you may be able to enter on your own initiative, and even put yourself in a state of death induction permanently!
However, the research on death sensing and life energy has stalled until Moya arrives, and these conjectures have not made much progress.
"For now, this should be the most likely scenario, and Ovilia's current situation can be said to match most of our previous speculations about the shackles of life."
Yamu looked at the little girl lying on the bed and spoke, but at the same time frowned unconsciously.
"The question is, why Ovilia? How did she take the initiative to break the shackles of life? ”
If the shackles of life were really something that was so easy to break through, it would be impossible for Yamu and the others to have not made any progress for so long.
At first, Yamu thought that a stronger sense of near-death might be needed to stimulate it.
However, after repeated experiments with himself more than a dozen times, he found that no matter what, he could only stay at the level of passively entering a state of death induction for a short time, so he denied this conjecture.
"Dying is just a threshold, and in order to truly break the shackles of life, there are absolutely other conditions that need to be met."
Yamu looked at it and said in a deep voice.
Several of them fell into deep thought.
"Maybe it has something to do with her special physique?"
Lumina looked at Ovilia and after thinking for a moment, she said:
"Ovilia's physique is very special, not only does she have a strong resistance to various diseases, but she also recovers much faster than others when she is injured, and she is also extremely talented in the cultivation of life energy."
"Maybe she can take the initiative to break the shackles of life, just because of the influence of her physique?"
When Mo Ya and the others heard this, their eyes showed a look of thought.
Lumina's statement does have a lot of point.
They all see the particularity of Ovillia's physique, so if it is really because of the special physique that they broke the shackles of life, it seems reasonable.
Merely......
"Probably not."
After thinking for a while, Yamu shook his head and denied Lumina's claims.
