Chapter 289: Athena's Restlessness (1)
Yikes!
Athena's screams still echoed through the cave.
Rao was also startled when he suddenly saw the appearance of the current muse, and his body withdrew far away in a flash, until the smooth crest back touched the cold stone wall.
Athena even suspected that she had mistaken an axe, and if it weren't for the axe next to her and her messy signature bird's nest-like hairstyle, Athena would have thought she was looking at the wrong person.
The muse is a madman.
That's how the name of the mad demon frenzy came from, his face was dark and red at all times, but now that face was pale and dark blue, especially his lips had almost turned black and purple.
If it was just that, Athena would be shocked but not frightened, and what really scared her was the things on the muse's skin.
His face was full of dense patches, the small ones were like sesame seeds, and the big ones were like peanuts and blisters, like a honeycomb, all over the whole face without leaving a single gap.
At first glance, it only made Athena feel a strong fear and nausea, and even a layer of goosebumps on her body.
Remember what the original brave Gero said about claustrophobia, acute phobia, and dense phobia...... Isn't this what is called a phobia of intensity?
Athena felt that the current appearance of the muse should be exactly the same.
Occasionally, the sleeping muse seemed to feel some itching on his body and reached out to grab it.
Cracking sound......
A large blister burst immediately, and clear mucus rolled down the muse's skin.
That's where the smell of rot comes from.
Then, even more disgusting.
Athena's scalp was tingling, and she could never have imagined that the muse would become like this.
The relationship with the muse is average, although he is also a member of the brave team, but it is limited to this, and now the appearance of the muse makes Athena subconsciously want to stay away, the farther away from this guy, the better.
By the way, what's wrong with Muse?
Sick?
Holding back the nausea in her heart, Athena flicked her fingers and a small fireball hit the back of Muse's hand, directly burning several blisters.
The sleeping muse, as if stimulated by the sting of the burning flames, rolled over, sat up, and stretched out his right hand towards the tomahawk beside him.
Although he looked sick and his body was shaking slightly, the muse's sense of battle was like an imprint in the bone marrow and would never disappear, and the man was ready to fight almost immediately.
The slightly swaying body still reveals the bravery of a beast.
It wasn't until he saw Athena on the other side that the muse's hand was released from the handle of the axe: "Athena, it's you, you're finally here...... Ahem...... Ahem......
The muse spoke.
The voice of the voice also surprised Athena, his voice was dry and chapped, as if something was blocked in his throat, and he was hula hula when he spoke.
As soon as he didn't say a word, he immediately began to cough violently, and a mouthful of dark thick phlegm sprayed into the corner of the wall.
Athena grew more and more disgusted, barely suppressing the furry fear in her chest: "Muse, are you sick?" ….
The muse grinned reluctantly and smiled bitterly, "Recently...... It seems really uncomfortable...... Damn it...... I guess it's a cold."
"I always have blisters on my body, and I have to go to church for treatment when I go back."
It wasn't an old blister, and when the muse staggered to his feet, his bare upper body and face were almost indistinguishable, all of them were filled with dense blisters.
Is this a skin disease?
I've never heard of a skin disease that could be so serious.
"Let's get things done and get out of this place." The muse said breathlessly.
What was once a mad demon frenzy has now become so weak that there is still a place to crisscross among the monsters
To the invincible bravery and rage.
"Although my healing skills are not as good as those in the church...... However, let's treat you first, maybe it will make you feel better." Athena said.
"Really? Thank you for that." The Muse did not refuse, though he did not want to see Athena. However, if Athena could treat herself and relieve the itching and pain on her body, Muse would not refuse.
Athena's face was still a little pale, and the inexplicable sense of fear and bad premonition in her heart became stronger and stronger.
She's upset!
Calming down, he waved his magic wand lightly, and a hydrotherapy spell enveloped the muse.
Hydrotherapy is just a water-based intermediate magic.
It is also one of the few water-based magic spells that can heal injuries.
Of course, it can only treat the injury and not cure the disease, but it is still somewhat effective, at least it can heal the scratched skin on the muse's body.
As for healing, the Holy See's Holy Light Technique has a certain effect, and the Earth Mother God Cult also has many professional potions in this regard.
After a brief hesitation, Athena opened another scroll of Holy Light, a hazy light enveloping the muse.
The muse's voice recovered a little, no longer hula and hu like before, and the blisters on his body seemed to have shrunk a little, not as dense as before.
After the dual treatment of hydrotherapy and holy light, although the muse was not cured, he still improved a lot, and if he wants to be completely cured, he may need to go to the Holy See to receive more advanced healing magic, or to mix the right potion in the Mother Earth God Cult.
Although Athena took a lot of potions from the Earth Mother God Cult, she didn't know what the muse was, and the potion thing was not used casually.
The muse grabbed the handle of the axe and swung it twice, the blade of the axe tearing through the cold air with a whirring sound, and his strength seemed to have recovered a lot.
An excited smile appeared on his face: "Athena, thank you!"
Although I don't like Athena very much, this thank you can be called sincere.
After a brief pause, the Muse continued, "No, that's the secret room over there...... That damn magic seal blocked the doorway, and I just couldn't open it and I couldn't break it violently."
The muse snorted not far ahead, and Athena manipulated the fireball to fly towards it, once the dark purple barrier appeared in front of Athena.
It seems that this is the so-called magic seal. ….
Taking a deep breath, Athena rushed over to that side, she also wanted to break the magic ban sooner, take Geralt's soul fragment and leave this hellish place. Although there was no one else in this place except the muse, that inexplicable and eerie sense of fear had always hung over Athena's heart.
Muse's condition was a little better, but there was still an unbearable stench on his body, so Athena kept the magic barrier untenable.
Ulla...... Ulla......
As he approached the cave's magic prohibition, there was a sudden faint wave above the magic barrier, as if something had collided with it, scorching flames.
This strange situation made Athena's brows furrow instantly, and the vigilance in her heart increased a little.
"How can it, can it be unraveled?" The muse behind him urged.
The muse couldn't take it anymore and he couldn't wait to get out of this place.
But Athena didn't rush to break the magic ban right away, but looked inside first......
A stone slab engraved with dense and tiny words, blackened and corroded pits, the remains of a body that had obviously endured great pain before dying, a fragment of Geralt's soul that had been made into a ring on his finger bones.
Contained in a glass bottle I don't know what kind of creature is the dark red blood.
Weird skull......
A metal appliance with unintelligible runes.
Spooky clay pots...... Inside the clay pot, tiny black worms are constantly wriggling.
The air was filled with the stench of corruption
Taste.
The strange picture in the secret room can be felt by anyone, the remains, was it an alchemist when he was alive? Or is it a magician who is proficient in potions?
But whether it's an alchemist or a magician, the materials in this secret room are a little too weird.
Especially the tiny, wriggling black bugs inside the clay pot...... How many years has this chamber existed, even the wreckage is only bones, and the flesh and blood have completely decayed, but those insects can still survive?
The clay pot seemed to be filled with a lot of strange things, and under the wriggling of the black worms, I could faintly feel some distorted mist diffusing from the mouth of the clay pot.
It always felt like the strange objects in this chamber were even more attractive to Athena than Geralt's soul fragments.
"Athena, what are you doing in a daze, hurry up and undo the magic ban."
Seeing Athena standing there motionless, the Muse was a little impatient, what is this woman doing?
At the urging of the muse, Athena's consciousness finally returned, and she settled down to suppress the anxiety in her heart, and Athena began to study the prohibition of magic.
This prohibition is not too powerful, but the means are quite clever, the prohibition of the entrance is connected to the mechanism inside the secret room, and it can be regarded as a muse who is a little rational and does not directly have violent means to destroy, once the entrance is violently destroyed, it will also be implicated, and eventually trigger a series of explosions, directly blowing up the secret room completely.
At that time, maybe even Geralt's soul fragment will be blown up.
After Athena's operation, the dark purple barrier in front of him suddenly flickered, accompanied by a clattering sound, and after a few seconds, the barrier completely disappeared.
This scene immediately made the muse ecstatic.
Without waiting for Athena, she threw herself into the secret room.
The muse, who only had Geralt's soul fragment in his eyes, didn't notice that after losing the blockade of the dark purple barrier, the true color of the secret room was truly revealed, and the entire secret room was shrouded in dark green mist!
The muse, who had just broken in, was immediately attached to the dense fog and became green.......
Little Fly
