Chapter 414: Carriers and Projections
To the outside world, the blue glow that emerged from the gloomy darkness of Overwatch City was the most vivid "miracle" of Van's.
But for Xiuge, these voices hidden in that ancient power are truly the true footprints of a "god", or a "legend", in that lost history.
Compared to the gorgeous dazzling magical light, Mel's words were unpretentious.
There is no excessive rhetoric, no impassioned tone for stirring up emotions.
The voice she left behind was always peaceful, and it was even full of beautiful longing and yearning for that unpredictable future.
There was little way for Hug to associate such a tone with a being who had completely changed the course of Van in the distant past.
But that's just the way it is.
These words and words have been thoroughly integrated with the magic that is flowing and working, and as the bearer and user of this magic, Shug can feel the real emotion contained in every word, every pause in it, with great clarity.
The voice that reverberated in the spirit world calmed Xiuge's mood, and in this case, the darkness of the surrounding environment and the turbulence caused by the invisible wolf's actions were particularly annoying.
The magic that surged through Xiuge's body was too special and too powerful, not only the power itself, but also the carrier of memories, words, and emotions.
Underneath its operation, an extremely strong emotion began to become active.
The guidance of this emotion was very vivid, and under its influence, Xiuge temporarily ended listening to those words, he raised his head slightly, and the blue color in his pupils retracted, so that his blank gaze refocused, and his gaze became as sharp as a sharp knife.
The hostility against the Abyss Creations, which had already existed in Xiuge's body, was infinitely magnified at this moment.
Although the goddess who herself symbolizes the magic of Vann is compassionate and tolerant in common legends, her attitude becomes fiercer when confronted with clear enemies - any individual who is hostile to Vann and can pose a clear threat, be it a god or a family, should be cleared and eliminated by the most drastic and direct means.
This is represented by the huge figure that is constantly shuttling around Shug and trying to attack.
Even though it wasn't the true body of the Abyssal Hound Lord, it was enough to trigger a wave of anger beneath the ocean of azure magic.
As a result, the magic models that were still with "repulsion" as the main purpose were completely transformed at this moment, the peaceful tide turned into monstrous waves, the invisible magic condensed into deadly ice blades, and the seemingly fragile magic threads were woven into an impenetrable net, completely blocking the surrounding area.
The crystalline pupils on the invisible wolf's hideous head flickered as they sensed a threat.
At this moment, the invisible wolf had already confirmed that the power emanating from the human body in front of him belonged to the "god" who had brought a huge impact and threat to the entire Abyss Court, and this realization directly awakened a trace of panic in the deepest part of the invisible wolf's long memory.
As the master of the courtyard of the Abyss Court, the Invisible Wolf was too impressed by that figure.
Even though the knowledge and memories it possessed had long since been piled up, that terrifying figure could never be completely buried.
It was she who made the Abyss Court have to suspend the eternal hunt, and it was she who, for a long time, completely cut off the sacrifices that should have been provided to the Abyss, and her actions caused countless huge races born in the Abyss to die out because of this, and even affected the existence of the court itself!
She is an enemy.
She is the enemy of the entire abyss, a hidden danger that should be completely erased and eliminated.
Under the pressure of those large nets of tenacious magic threads, the ferocious wolf beast could no longer continue to walk through the shadows, and under the drive of the ever-growing magic model, it finally reappeared, and its huge body had been cut by the sharp magic wires with countless small wounds.
However, its pupils did not dim, but revealed a strange light that was completely different from before.
Although the changed magic had caused some damage to it, it had also made the Invisible Wolf aware of a special detail that he had almost overlooked.
The other party's magic power is not as strong as he remembers, and it can even be said that as a powerful god, it is a little too weak.
It suddenly realized that it was not the terrible enemy it remembered standing in front of it, but an ordinary "prey" that could only bear a few traces of her, and this discovery caused the invisible wolf to immediately let go of its fears, and it stood still, and a heavy gasp came out of its mouth.
At this moment, the rather exaggerated body of the wolf beast actually began a new round of changes.
Its massive body, which had been too bloated, began to shrink inward, causing the chain-like structures to bite and entangle with each other, and at the same time, more dark purple crystals spread out of its body and merged with the chain structures.
In just a few breaths, the exaggerated wolf beast had shrunk a lot, and although the invisible wolf could still be counted as a behemoth, it was obviously more agile and deadly than before.
The dark purple crystals had finally completely covered its body, and its chest, the ugly structure that had been twisted by Kzlov, had now been completely devoured, turning into a faint shadow that could not be detected.
At this point, both parties are able to clearly understand each other's intentions.
Whether as the bearer of Mel's will and power, or by his own choice, it is absolutely impossible for Shug to allow the projection of the invisible wolf to continue to operate in Vane, and he must completely destroy the other party in this completely enclosed space, in order to prevent the Abyss Court from making further moves, and use it to strike at those dangerous enemies.
On the other hand, the invisible wolf, who is the spokesperson of the eternal hunt, cannot let go of this extremely valuable "prey" in front of him.
As long as it can complete the hunt, it will have a chance to completely wipe out the last traces of that dangerous enemy, and at the same time be able to damage Theseus's potential plans and plans!
As a result, a battle that was far more intense than the previous one began.
There were no superfluous questions or answers, no demonstrations or shouts, and both sides devoted all their attention to the battle in silence.
In the face of the surging waves of magic and those sharp and deadly thin lines, the invisible wolf's body writhed rapidly, and a large number of crystalline spikes burst out from its surface, these spikes successfully tore away the obstacles in front of it, and not only that, the crystalline fragments that were shattered by the violent collision "grew" into strange columnar structures of different sizes the moment they landed.
In that boundless dark courtyard, these columnar crystals are the dens and pathways of the hounds, which they can inhabit and use to travel through different regions and even reach another unfamiliar "hunting ground".
This time was no exception.
As the columnar crystals took shape and the path to communicate the different worlds was established, the Abyssal Hounds, who belonged to the Invisible Wolves, immediately responded to their lord's call, and they struggled through the fragile passages made of magical power, risking being completely crushed in the turbulence of magic, burrowing out of these dark purple crystals and entering the strange interior of the battlefield.
However, before these murderous predators could gain a foothold, a clean reckoning had already arrived.
In today's Vane, no mage can truly understand Mel's method of mobilizing magical powers.
There are no rigorous formulas of magic, no complicated derivation process, and no "general models" that Merlinler and the mages have come up to facilitate the teaching and use of magic......
Everything is so natural and smooth.
The waves of magic that had been crushed by the invisible wolves reunited the moment the Abyssal Hounds arrived, and the infinite threads of magic were superimposed, compressed, and formed into a huge arc that sliced forward along the ground with a gentle swing of his staff.
The predators who responded to the lord's call did not even see the situation and recognize the enemy, and along with the crystalline pillars, they were cut into miserable pieces, and the soul fragments that were hidden in them were crushed into useless residues by the aftermath of the arc.
However, the Invisible Wolf did not intend to rely on these hounds to achieve victory.
When the hounds died and collapsed as a result of Shug's attack, the traces of the abyss that lurked deep within them came into play, and the thin gloomy mist broke through the magical blockade and made its way to the invisible wolf once again.
The moment it touched these fogs, the ferocious crystalline wolfbeast quickly hidden, and the thin lines of magic that covered the entire area could not accurately capture its movements.
However, the consciousness that had become one with the magic gave an extremely clear and definite traction at this moment.
Several crystal-clear pale blue tentacles emerged from Shuge's side.
It was the Claron Touch, but their form had changed dramatically due to the different magic infused with them, and now, these tentacles that looked like clear water quickly wrapped around Xiuge's body and quickly brought him aside.
Then the ground was suddenly torn apart, and the abyssal mist emerged, and with an instantaneous explosion, the monstrous wolf beast tore through a part of the magic used to seal the space, and shattered a large number of regular lines of mana.
The claws wrapped in dark purple crystals swung rapidly, leaving a huge dark crack out of thin air in the place where Xiuge had stood before, and a malicious aura poured out of the crack, and strange colors trickled down, adding a bit of dazzling filth to this sea of pure magic.
Naturally, Xiuge would not back down, and under his manipulation, these Calon touches, which had been infused with pure magic power, quickly surged in the direction of the invisible wolf, and wherever they went, the magical structure damaged by the invisible wolf was quickly repaired.
However, the invisible wolf did not intend to let Xiuge fill the magic hole in this space, and seeing that the touch of Calon was about to touch the dark rift he had created, the fierce wolf beast immediately changed its strategy and actively rushed in the direction of Xiuge.
When the invisible wolf made this seemingly adventurous action, a large number of strange dark crystal fragments and writhing chains grew out of its body, and for a while, these fragments with the same power as the invisible wolf scattered in all directions, constantly destroying and cutting the surrounding magical environment, and those writhing chains erupted with an astonishing destructive power far beyond the previous one, they tore through the layers of barriers, and together with their own subjects, they turned into a storm composed of dark crystals, and swept in the direction of Xiuge.
In the process, the strange chains that floated from behind the invisible wolf made an unusual sound in a violent tremor - it was not the sound of metal or ore colliding, but more like the cries and wails of living beings in pain
When this voice sounded, an extraordinarily vivid anger exploded in Xiuge's spiritual world.
Through Mel's remaining knowledge and will, Shug succeeded in learning the origin of the strange sound.
It was the despair and pain that had been retained from the countless prey and sacrifices worthy of "collecting" since the Abyss Court launched the eternal "Great Hunt", the fragments of the souls of the victims after being hunted, and the will and memories that were stripped away after their failed resistance.
Some of them were treasured by the Abyssal Court, dedicated to the cultivation of loyal hounds and attendants, and the more desperate these "raw materials" were, the more they could catalyze the best, as Theseus once was.
The other part was held by the invisible wolf, the remnants of these wails not only as its reserve food, but as a source of strength to sustain it in the depths and hunting grounds.
In other words, as long as the Abyss Court still exists, and the Invisible Wolf is still leading the hounds to launch an eternal hunt, then there will only be more and more miserable souls left behind, and those fragmented wills will not only have no way to resist and break free, but will even have to join in the hunt for other victims!
It is for this reason that the Black Sun Society uses a torture instrument similar to a chain when performing "blasphemy rituals" - piercing the statues of past gods symbolizes sending those spiritual symbols into the hunting grounds as sacrifices, which is not only a blasphemy, but also a bad curse.
For countless years, Mel, the goddess of magic, has been the main bearer of such curses.
