Chapter 5 Grumpy Algae
After Thor was promoted to the third rank, if the partner who changed the most was the small algae he planted under the Pure Spirit Wizard Tower.
In the preview of the Golden Pages, Algae once turned into a giant tentacle monster due to the pollution of the Kuroshio.
In reality, because of Thor's seal, the Kuroshio Tide did not erupt on a large scale.
But when Thor finished dealing with the outside and dragged back to the Pure Soul Wizard Tower exhausted, he was greeted by a room packed with huge black vine-like tentacles.
Small algae...... Rioted?!
After Thor's emergency rescue, he was almost rescued by Hope, the butler who was squeezed into meat sauce.
And the first sentence that Hope came out of was "Camus ignited the algae".
Thor slipped into the gap of the huge thick tentacles, and after finally squeezing into the second basement floor, he finally understood what "ignition" was.
There is no real flame on the second basement level.
But a large number of pale souls squeezed into the roots of the algae one after another, as if they were confused.
And every time a soul enters the body of Xiao Zao, the black tentacles will grow a little bigger.
A small basement has long been unable to accommodate a dozen tentacle clones with a diameter of nearly one meter.
The ground sinks, the floor is torn, and the laboratory on the basement level is like a storm passing through, and everything is scattered all over the ground.
The fragile glass instrument was shattered.
Thor didn't have time to feel sorry for his scrapped resources, and searched for the main body of the algae in the black tentacles of the riot.
It's just that when Thor finds it, the cute and cute magical creature opens its huge shark-toothed mouth at Thor and bites it down fiercely.
Fortunately, Thor who has advanced to the third order can already borrow the magic of the outside world and use witchcraft to suppress the irritable and crazy little algae.
Thor then turned his flesh into tentacles and became entangled with the algae.
The suckers on the translucent tentacles greedily absorb the spirits of the dead inside the algae.
However, the algae itself feeds on death, and the spirits that enter it are quickly digested.
Thor could only suck the soul that had just burrowed into the body of the algae.
In the end, Thor had to combine the influence of Nightmare Butterfly and the space of consciousness to calm down the rioting algae.
It's just that the size of the small algae can't return to its original size.
It's like a stomach that has been eaten up, lost its elasticity and has been enlarged several times.
Breaking away from his memories, Thor went to the corner of the laboratory on the basement floor and used his spiritual power to open the sealing circle on the ground.
The pitch-black circle that blends with the ground rotates clockwise, splitting an entrance in the middle.
Thor jumped in from the entrance and landed lightly on the tentacles of the soft bullet.
In order to accommodate the surging algae, Thor used sorcery to expand the second basement floor tenfold.
But even though the space has become much larger, the algae can still only be coiled inside, and it is difficult to even move.
The space was already so tight, but Xiaozao still "greeted" him as soon as Thor jumped down.
A tentacle burst out of the crack in the vine, then split its jaw, attempting to bite off the intruder's head.
Thor raised his hand, and a black barrier appeared between the two.
And Xiaozao's sharp teeth only bit on the barrier a few times, and the magic barrier began to make a "creaking" tearing sound.
But Thor backhanded, and the hemispherical protective barrier flipped over to cover Xiaozao's head.
Facing the concave circle, even the sharp teeth of the small algae cannot be spoken.
The angle is so tricky that it can't even bite it.
This is a way that Thor has researched, and it is a way to get along without harming the algae and not being attacked by it.
In essence, it is to put a hedge on the manic algae.
After realizing that he couldn't bite Thor at all, the huge black tentacles finally fell silent.
After calming down, a little reason returned, and Xiaozao finally recognized Thor.
Its head rubbed against Thor's chest against the magic barrier, and then it lay wilted on top of itself.
Thor squatted down, touched Xiaozao's body, and comforted it: "It's okay, I'll cure you." ”
Although such a small algae is much more powerful than before, a demonic creature that has lost its mind will only become a complete monster.
Thor would never allow that to happen.
"I'm sorry, you had signs of being irritable before, but I didn't seriously investigate the reason."
Trapped in the magic barrier, Xiao Zao shook the tip of his tentacle and comforted Thor in turn.
Saul told Sao: "I've made new progress in my research. Let me see where your problem really is. ”
The diary reappeared in Thor's palm, quickly flipping to a blank page.
Algae turned his head, not knowing what Thor was doing.
To outsiders, Thor was just quietly holding a dark red hardcover book at this time.
But in Saul's eyes, the world suddenly became visible.
Crowded room, huge black tentacles, obscured underground ...... All became cubes wrapped in countless lines.
These lines meet above the pages of the diary and are projected into lines of text.
[April 5, 320 in the New Moon calendar.]
If the root of suffering is not resolved,
The tragedy will only keep flowing,
But when you're desperately trying to get closer to the truth,
But you will find that the truth is a weight that you cannot bear. 】
Thor looked at the words in his diary and frowned, "It's too abstract. ”
After taking control of the diary, Thor turned a completely passive death warning into a death quest.
But precisely because of the lack of purposeful exploration, the answers he seeks become even more ambiguous.
Thor made adjustments to his diary, and finally re-recorded the information around the week.
He thought of the "source" in the diary, and his eyes fell on Xiao Zao.
Many of the souls that invaded the algae came from underground, but they were not the undead in the Rhine.
They come from deeper underground, just like Camus did in the beginning.
Although these souls are not as powerful as Camus, they are numerous, and they are polluted by the Kuroshio Current.
They use themselves as nourishment and invade the small algae, seemingly intending to turn the small algae into monsters.
After Thor had controlled the algae, there was still a steady stream of undead popping up underground.
It wasn't until Byron and he used the inerting formula to seal the underground together that the algae would not be continuously polluted.
"It seems that the origin that affects you is still underground."
However, whenever Thor tries to go underground, the diary sends a death warning to stop him from taking the risk.
Although Thor once broke the diary's death warning, it was only after trying a variety of methods that he was forced to find a glimmer of life in the many death endings.
But now, naturally, he would not risk his life for unpreparedness.
Thor adjusted the journal so that its power was more attached to the ground.
This time, the words on the diary have changed.
[April 5, 320 in the New Moon calendar.]
The tower is built on top of a cliff that is about to collapse,
Danger is destined to come,
But if you don't touch the devil's box without a key,
At least it won't be turned on so quickly.
Before you have the antidote ready,
Go and catch the tail of the viper,
It's going to be a surprise to die~]
