Chapter 390: Crystallization

Pale magic connects flesh with the power that flows through the earth, and Lizzie is trying to "implant" herself into the deep web of the leylines beneath the city.

She silently allowed her magic to expand further, and at the same time felt that her body was being eaten away by the power of feedback. Just as Lizzy was about to adjust the structure of the Rubik's Cube, she suddenly felt a sharp pain hit the inside of her eye, causing her to let out a low cry of sorrow.

"Uh-huh"

This is a manifestation of the magic seeping into a deeper layer, and as the magic continues to penetrate into the natural magic flowing in the leylines, the power that is fed back into Liqi's body from the opposite side also accelerates the speed of erosion of the body. In just a moment, the girl's body, which was only slightly trembling, curled up like a shrimp, and for tens of seconds, she could only endure the severe pain with her eyes closed, hoping that the sharp pain would stop as soon as possible.

However, the next thing turned out to be that the pain did not go away - it seemed to be slowly becoming more intense, rather than the opposite. Not only the optic nerves deep in the eye sockets, but Lizzie even felt as if her whole body was filled with pain, and if it weren't for the willpower that forcibly supported her, she might have collapsed to the ground and rolled on the ground because of the increasing pain sensation.

Just as she was almost delirious from the pain, something seemed to flash into her vision. The appearance and disappearance of these images were so abrupt that she almost thought she was hallucinating because of the pain.

But the pain hadn't short-circuited her sanity, and she reacted immediately, and the images that flashed from time to time were not phantoms. Instead, some of the remaining thoughts that remained in the leylines seeped into her body along with the power of feedback. It is very likely that the black mud that continues to seep into the ground has mixed the remaining magic in the flesh and blood into the leylines, and then continues to escape along the network of magic that Liqi has spread.

"Hey. Miss Leinst!you, your body is already stopping, if you continue to let the magic expand, it may break your body!" Just as Lizzie tried to see the images that kept flashing in her mind. A sorcerer's scream pulled her back into reality.

The first thing that came into her eyes was a serpent covered in crimson scales, the back half of Hermia's body that supported her in the armored car. The lower body temperature brought a slight cold sensation through the skin, and it also relieved the sharp pain in Lizzie's body a little.

Wherever the serpent's lower body was placed, it was the center of attention, but closer away, something else caught Lizzie's attention.

It was her body—a thin, bloodless body that shimmered in densely twisted glowing lines that looked like the marks of some animal. At some joints, crystalline cracks appeared on the skin, flashing with a faint glow.

It looked terrifying at such a close distance. It seems that the girl's body has become some kind of existence close to a fossil wood due to the erosion of the power in the leylines. The sorcerer who was talking to her had already distanced herself, and had come closer to make sure that Lizzie was in danger.

"There's no need for that. ”

Sighing deeply, Lizzie smiled miserably and said, "This is a crystallization phenomenon caused by an anomaly in magic power, which may be much more serious than an ordinary magic disease." At least there is no way to reverse it now, after all, a large part of this body has been eroded by the magic of the leylines, and I think it won't be long before the whole body will be eroded - at that time, please don't leave me behind. ”

It is rare to see the scenery in a rare place, and to reap the fruits of what is not possible for others, which may mean sacrificing in some aspects, but if you don't even have this level of awareness. Then it is too greedy to want to get results that are different from ordinary people.

Lizzie couldn't help but smile wryly, in fact, she didn't know how successful she was in doing so, and it was likely that the effort was not proportional to the return. The pain of her body being eroded by the magic constantly terrorized Lizzie. Forced her to immediately withdraw the magic that had tried to seep into the leylines.

She was well aware that the spells she was constructing were forbidden by the law, perhaps as forbidden as the methods used by Sain Democra. The difference, however, is that sacrificial sacrifice harms the lives of others. Implanting oneself in the leylines could endanger the land in the immediate area.

Everything in the world has a certain degree of magic, and these forces operating in nature have their own forms - and will interfere with each other. Although they are all called "magic". However, their properties are quite different, and the repulsion between organic and inorganic matter is particularly severe.

As for when this rejection occurs in living creatures. It is often manifested as the inorganic transformation of the body, such as the body of Liqi that is gradually crystallized. This is most likely the result of the body ingesting excessive amounts of different types of mana, which are often fatal to living beings.

"What should I say about you, your brain is even sicker than that sorcerer!" Hermia, who was holding Lizzie, looked at Lizzie's appearance, gritted her teeth and whispered, "He doesn't treat other people as his own kind, at best he is self-centered, what do you think of yourself!"

She and Carl Rotta are old acquaintances of Curt and Lizzie, and for some reason they know the nature of their bodies - and with all sorts of troubles. Although Curt sometimes seems out of tune, Liqi's presence makes her feel an indescribable alien feeling.

I don't know what the reason is, but she instinctively senses that there is something in Lizzie that makes people feel very uncomfortable, and just looking at it makes her feel chills. That's why Hermia avoided contact with Lizzie as much as possible, and was reluctant to talk to her even if they met.

"Ho, it's not you who became like this anyway, what are you nagging?"

Lizzy sneered, as if she didn't take the pain of a blunt knife cutting flesh seriously. But soon her smile was gone, her teeth clenched together, and her face, which had not had a trace of blood, instantly became even paler.

She trembled as if she had been electrocuted, and her body struggled uncontrollably, and Hermia almost couldn't catch her. Gradually, fine lines appeared on the limbs that had almost turned into crystals, and they were the Rubik's cubes formed by arranging a large amount of magic power in a certain way.

However, the structure of these Rubik's Cubes looks rather strange, with haphazardly stretched branch structures as haphazardly disorganized as the branches of a bush. I don't know whether to call them meaningless complexities or random crudeness, the magical trajectories that emerge from Lizzie's limbs look like vague outlines drawn by children on the sand with twigs, without the slightest sense of sophistication that normal spells should have.

Lizzie didn't deliberately arrange her mana in this sloppy way, and the only explanation was that the mana she output changed into its current structure after receiving the power of the leylines. What's even more amazing is that the power that poured into her body seems to be mixed with a part of her magic, and in the viscous yellow glow of the leylines, a part of the dull pale is wrapped in - Lizzie can even adjust their direction appropriately.

They are still gradually extending, and finally even spreading to the face, I am afraid that the next step of these magic lines is to connect to Liqi's head. The magic of the earth mixed with Lizzie's own power has formed a simple cycle, and Lizzie's efforts are about to bear fruit.

Some sorcerers believe that the mind is the "room" where the soul resides, and therefore take great pains to protect their heads from any power other than their own. However, no matter what they thought, it was none of Lizzie's business, and she felt like her thoughts were fading away.

It's as if her head had turned to stone - this is no joke, and Lizzie has sensed that the phenomenon of "crystallization" is about to spread to her head. Maybe the person who was petrified in the legend felt the same way, and his thinking gradually stagnated, and his perception became more and more blurred, and finally he lost his sense of the body.

Even if she wasn't afraid that her body would collapse because of her casual messing, Lizzie was still a little hesitant when she faced the feeling she felt for the first time. But at this point, there was no room for regret, and in the face of her body that was about to completely turn into a crystal, Lizzie once again strengthened the output of her magic power.

The body seemed to be transformed into a huge alchemy furnace, and the magic flowing from the internal organs was constantly tumbling, transforming the power absorbed from the leylines into more pure power. They slowly spread through Lizzie's body, and these alien magical powers were constantly eating away at her body.

"I see, I think I've been mistaken all along," slurred words came out of Lizzie's lips, but even the voice grew stiff, "Time is running out, Sain Democra, that guy is trying to connect there"

There were faint sounds in her ears, but Lizzie couldn't hear what they were saying. The ears gradually filled with noise, and ambiguous images flashed in the horizon that had been obscured by darkness - all remnants of thoughts from the depths of the leylines.

In this almost endless stream of information, there is a lot of information that has not been noticed by Lizzie in the past, and there is naturally no lack of information about the Rubik's cube built on top of the city. It was clear that the sorcerer had already set out a long time ago to make his current plan come true.

Now, Lizzie is trying to find the most critical part. (To be continued......)
