Chapter 2 Imprint I
Tenji itself is an illusion that lives in the dream world, and they can all go directly to dreams. It's like a bird can fly and a fish can swim.
Even ordinary illusions basically have this ability, as long as they can reach the material realm by their own means.
As long as you can fall asleep, you can easily destroy mortals from your dreams.
Curses, hallucinations, implantation of hints, alteration of memories, or outright destruction of souls.
After all, mortals are beings living in the material realm, and it is only in dreams that the afterimage of the mind is projected onto the dream realm.
With the exception of classes such as the Dream Wanderer, which possess the characteristics of a "Dream Walker", mortals have no ability to resist in the dream world, or even have no waking self-awareness.
This is also the essence of certain "apocalyptic", "prophetic dreams" or "demonic possession".
- Of course, the awake wandering monk is not capable of resisting.
If you are attacked by an illusion in the dream world, you will only be able to die a little more awake, but you will be more easily attacked because you have a clear consciousness...... It's like being a transcendent in a promotion ceremony.
When transcendents enter into dreams with a waking will, their souls go directly into the dream realm.
Before the "host" system became widespread, the first thing the Dream Realm promoters had to do was survive the soul-hunting illusions - but outside the promotion ceremony, the Dream Monk did not have the protection of the "host".
Those creatures who have lucid dreams and wander unconsciously into the dream realm are easily exposed to the illusions of the dream realm.
It may be a good thing, bringing about certain adventures, such as meeting a knight, a sage or an angel, learning swordsmanship, spells or magic in a dream; It is also possible to encounter a fairy, a god of death, or a heroic spirit of the Shadow Country, and be introduced to the Fairy Realm, the Underworld, or the Shadow Country, and something unpredictable happens; It is also possible to encounter Lingpo directly and be directly frozen in the soul, or encounter a demon and be possessed.
Playing meat pigeon with life belongs to yes.
Cursers who transcend and love the path also do not have the ability to walk lucidly in the dream world, but they can also attack each other from the dream world through the medium. And writers of the path of beauty also have the ability to weave and modify dreams.
However, there are obviously limits to this kind of dreaming.
They have no effect on the devout followers of the pillar gods, or against those who are directly blessed by them.
Protection from a higher being that protects the souls of mortals. It's like a firewall, isolating these fragments of thought from being too deeply connected to the ontology, so that those influences are intercepted.
The blessing of the pillar god protects against the attacks of the Celestial Division and the Apostles, and the protection of the Celestial Division and the Apostles protects against the attacks of the Cursed Master.
A small blessing from a routine prayer can greatly increase the difficulty of being cursed - complete exemption is impossible, just as Evas will be forcibly marked at this moment.
But at least there is no need to worry about Xiong Tianji directly beating people along the network cable.
However, Ivus was a little confused.
He didn't really know if he was sheltered by the silver-crowned dragon or by the candle......
…… Or is it the snake father and the twin mirrors? Even, Huantenji?
All in all, the effect of this shelter is still good.
"Xiong Tianji has murderous intent on me," Ivus explained to her as he looked at a confused Lily, "probably because of the Giant Prince."
"Let's not mention whether Xiong Tiansi wants him to be promoted to apostle...... But He clearly had his sights on me because of it. Or maybe before that, when I was watched by the silver-crowned dragon, He had his eyes on me. ”
Or, it could be because of "divine entities". Ivus added inwardly.
"But even Xiong Tianji, who has a definite killing intent against me, can't directly enter my dream."
Ivus chuckled, "He has found me, but he can't figure out the shape of my dream. This actually exposes His weakness even more. ”
Even though he was hunted down by Tensi, Ivus still didn't care.
Because Aihuas knew that if Xiong Tiansi wanted to kill himself, there were only two ways.
Either destroy Ivas from the material realm, or find ways to leave more and more imprints on him and strengthen his connection with Ivas himself - after collecting seven imprints, Xiong Tianji will be able to bypass the protection of the pillar god and fall directly into Evas's dream realm in the dream world, attacking and killing Evas.
If the other Celestial Divisions wanted to kill themselves, they would definitely choose the latter.
But with Xiong Tianji's personality, he would 100% choose the former. At least the first few rounds will definitely come recklessly.
Although He was a bad God, He did disdain intrigues.
And the material realm ...... That's the realm that is limited by the "Sand Hour", the pillar god of equilibrium.
No matter how strong the celestial division or the apostle, when it comes to the material world, it must be honestly "balanced".
All enemies in the material realm can be defeated.
Those who cannot be defeated will also be "balanced" to the point where they can theoretically be defeated after falling into the material realm.
In other words, even if Xiong Tianji wanted to send an apostle to hunt down Ivus, he must abide by the "fair" rules of the sand timer and defeat Evas's night demon in the material realm first.
You must know that when Ivas and the Daredevil easily defeated the succubus a month ago, it was as easy as Zhao Yun in and out of Nagasaka Slope seven times - Ivas was even one position ahead of the Night Demon the whole way!
…… It can only be said that Adou is very strong, and he didn't cry.
It can't be helped, summoners are like this. Even if Ivas was later promoted to a Mortal Sin Scholar, he would still be a "scholar" after all, and he would still suppress those Mortal Sins Beasts with the power of the Heavenly Division and the Pillar God.
It will only take a fundamental leap in his life-saving ability when Ivus truly becomes the beast master of the Beast of Sin and can merge with the beast of sin at any time...... Changed from a summoning class to a transformation class.
- The Lord of the Great Beast, the Lord of the Great Sin, the Lord of the Great Beast...... You can call it whatever you want. In essence, he is the lord of the beast of great sin.
It was a new class developed by "Ivus", named after the original Ivas Moriarty.
It is to incarnate oneself into the seventh deadly sin – to put the mark of "arrogance" on one's own flesh. Truly lead the beast of the six deadly sins with his own strength and his own body.
…… It's like the Kuro card being rewritten as Sakura's card.
Until Ivus reaches that position in this world, there will never be a second "beast master" in this world. Just as the profession of "Scholar of Grave Sins" is also the name given by Ewass.
If you want to confront the Celestial Division head-on, against your own fate...... Even if you reach the position of the pillar god, you must at least reach that realm.
The Demon Scholar is advanced to the Mortal Sin Scholar at the fourth energy level, and the second to the second level at the seventh energy level.
The transfer mission of the Lord of the Great Beast requires Ivus to collect all the six-attribute Great Sin Beasts and upgrade them all to the seventh level, and at the same time, he must also prepare the six-attribute Celestial Fragments, as well as divine weapons or extraordinary materials of the same level to "crown" them.
Xiong Tiansi is the Tiansi of fire and earth attributes. Can be used as a fire attribute or as a land attribute.
And Ivas still remembers...... In the dense forest of Xiong Tianji, there are many flame butterflies.
According to the occult knowledge that Ivas had obtained from the school library, the dense forest should be the realm that Xiong Tianji had demarcated in the dream world, the "Valley of Eternal Burn".
The Silver Crowned Dragon has always watched and guarded the Valley of Eternal Burn, so that Xiong Tianji can't leave here to travel to other parts of the Dream Realm.
Kuma will set the souls of cowards, slackers, and escapees on fire and turn them into butterflies, causing them to burn and dedicate all their strength. Those powers will turn into flames, calcining the weak and healing the strong.
After the silver crown dragon has selected the soul that belongs to him, it will be the turn of Xiong Tianji, who ranks first in the authoritative path, to choose.
He will give preference to the souls of the cowardly and the strong—the former will turn into a fragile butterfly, burning itself until it turns to ashes.
The latter, on the other hand, will turn into beasts and hunters, fighting each other endlessly in the burning forest valleys.
Hunters hunt beasts, and beasts devour hunters.
As soon as the hunter and the beast complete a hunt, the hunter will become a beast, and the beast will become a hunter.
In this cycle, the dead will be reborn again and again, but will become weaker and weaker.
And when the courage is completely burned out, it loses its form as a beast and turns into an ignorant flame butterfly.
This is the way of strength - the strong will constantly take everything from the weak.
There is no fairness in the way of "power".
The greatest unfairness lies in the fact that every newly arrived soul will challenge the strongest person who has survived here for hundreds of years, that is, Xiong Tianji himself, before it is yet to develop, and finally become His nourishment.
Only a handful of His apostles will roam the Valley of Eternal Burn, hunting for the new souls...... There are also very few people who can defeat the apostles with the weak, and they will be mercifully promoted to the new apostles by Xiong Tiansi.
He gave His Apostles the power to challenge themselves, and He would also take the initiative to attack and kill His apostles when they were bored.
The way of power is like this, and there is no reason to talk about it. As long as you can win, everything is right.
The strong get stronger, and the weak get weaker.
Ivus raised his hand slightly, and the butterfly flew down to Ivus's fingertips.
“…… But no matter how you look at it, bears and butterflies don't go well together. ”
He stared intently at his flame butterfly and whispered.
The corners of Aihuas's mouth rose slightly, and his fingertips touched the fire on Flame Butterfly's back, whispering like a child, "I'll get it for you, okay?" ”
The scar on his chest is the mark of Xiong Tiansi's hunting of Ivus—
But isn't this the brand of Aihuas hunting Xiong Tianji in turn?
It's like the infinite hunt cycle in the Valley of Eternal Burn – a hunter can be prey, and a prey can be a hunter.
"You'd better be stupid or ......"
Ivus muttered.
- He's going to be able to perform the Ring of the Tail Ceremony now.
If he could, of course he would have liked to follow the normal order of development, wait for the Star Antimony to hold the Ouroboros Ring, pull the Fallen Celestial Division down, and then go over to take him away.
But if Xiong Tianji realized that his apostles were no threat to Evas, he would instead begin to understand Evas's soul...... Then Ivus will have to perform the Ouroboros Ring Ceremony.
It can be said that the more this brand is stacked, the closer the day of the duel between Ivas and Xiong Tianji will be.
But it would not be good if Xiong Tiansi was torn off first, causing the fallen Tiansi to be vigilant because of this.
- But for now, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Because the situation on the Star Antimony side is even worse.
Immediately after Avalon declared war on Star Antimony, the archmages of the Duchy of Narcissus immediately arrested Duke Cavendish and declared the Duchy of Narcissus to be independent.
Even if Star Antimony doesn't care about Avalon's side, it must prioritize the independence of the Principality of Narcissus.
Otherwise, if they don't react to this, I'm afraid that even the Principality of Black Eagle, which is still loyal now, will have some crooked thoughts.
But the independence of the Duchy of Narcissus was carried out with the support of Avalon, or by implication.
Under the continuous high-intensity harassment of the griffon legion, supplies from the rear could not reach the front line at all - these griffons stopped in the territory of Iris, and Star Antimony could not directly cross the sea to attack Avalon headquarters, nor did they want to open a third line to attack Iris.
So they can only issue a strong condemnation of irises, and nothing else can be done.
Ivas thinks......
If nothing else, it was originally in version 3.0...... That is, the Ouroboros Ring Ceremony will be held in June 1900, and most of them will be brought forward.
Now the war has been going on for a month. It's the beginning of February, and spring is blooming.
As for the star antimony, it is already visible to the naked eye that it will not last next summer.
Regardless of the fact that Iris is still eyeing it, even the Black Eagle Principality is now starting to have an opinion.
When they saw that the independence of the Duchy of Narcissus was almost impossible to stop, they became dissatisfied with their cannon fodder fate.
In Star Antimony, whether it's an alchemist, a necromancer, a demon scholar, or a witch, they all have one thing in common...... That is, they are all crispy and have a high status.
If you want a physical profession with thick skin, you have to find it from the Principality of Black Hawk.
Either you'll have to get an expensive colossus, or you'll have to be an armed gargoyle that's still in development...... So in the end, it was up to the hunters on the Black Hawk side. Armed with the advanced automatic weapons of the Star Antimony, they became the army with the largest number of Star Antimony.
Moreover, the territory of the former Principality of Black Eagle is next to the Principality of Narcissus. At a time when the supplies and reinforcements on the Star Antimony side are constantly harassed by griffins, they can only continue to recruit troops from the Black Hawk Leader and send them to the north to confront those mages.
- The same principality ruled by Star Antimony, they are independent, why should we send troops to fight?
Now, even the armies of these Black Hawks have a vague voice of dissatisfaction.
And the goblin merchants took the opportunity to bleed and raised the price of war materials several times.
So Ivas knew...... The ring of the tail, I'm afraid it's this year. The matter of him going to the country for further study cannot be postponed any longer.
Because it is impossible for the Star Antimony people to accept defeat.
It can even be said that ...... There are only three months left at most.
- At most, in March, Star Antimony will be defeated.
The cat is back!
