Chapter One Thousand and Fourteen
So, like the road in the desert, in an open space with only the ground and walls, a ladder suddenly appeared, and people subconsciously wanted to climb it...... So we shouldn't climb up?"
Grathia smiled and continued to ask questions.
Her smile was like a flower, but her red gaze was slightly stagnant. Stared at Ariel, who was standing quietly in front of him—the Blazing Divine Servant lowered his gaze as if listening to the man's words, but one hand was slightly constricted, and his five fingers were brought together......
She didn't have a sword in her hand, but if something unexpected happened, it could naturally be a cross sword burning with holy flames in her hand.
As a result, the princess of the devil can only concentrate quietly on the spirit.
"Of course it's not right to climb up, but not to climb...... It's also not right. Edward said.
He spoke slowly, but the subtle hum in the words was like a metal thump. And as soon as his words fell, the subtle clicking sound began to spread under his feet! On the colored spar, countless black-gray cracks stretched outward like spider webs, but in an instant, they had already expanded to a range of hundreds of feet!
Down!
Although he walked in through the wall at the bottom of the tower when he was outside, space is a very wonderful thing - who can be sure that the 'up' seen on the outside must be the 'up' on the inside?
Thick smoke and dust erupted from the cracks in the collapsed crystals, and the colorful crystals had instantly faded all their colors and shattered in all directions.
The glow-looking ground was a ten-foot-thick hedron structure. But this sturdy material is almost meaningless in the face of that little gap in space. Discord's black expansion. Invincible, he went all the way down, dropping the hedron block on it with the three of them. Until it exploded into countless pieces on a stone beam!
Mentally holding his body up, Edward slowly descended, taking in the qiē around him.
The space where the stars converge seemed to be far away, and it seemed as if the smooth reflection of the obsidian was reflected in the nearest. The obsidian, on the other hand, was a smooth square pillar about ten feet wide, like a well-polished stone monument, but it formed a bridge almost horizontally. Suspended in mid-air, when standing on it, it seems to give people some kind of illusion. As if you are a light leaf, you can be blown down into the abyss below by a gust of wind,
But underneath that, it's not empty.
It's also a huge, almost infinite space...... It's different from the empty and colorful hedron tower. It's a deep, eerie place. The sparkling starlight felt as if it had broken through the tower and returned to the outer layer of the activation spell—but a little attention revealed that the colorful points of light in the space were not the cores of the magical monsters, but swirling, fluid light.
Beneath the darkness are countless stone beams.
With different colors such as red, yellow, green, purple, etc., the stone beams that pierce the sky and the stone beams that are diagonally to the ground. The stone beams interspersed in it, countless criss-crossed. Layered on top of each other, like a large mass of wooden skewers falling to the ground...... The surrounding space is composed of chaotic pictures and lines, and the downward part is hidden in the black mist, stretching into the unsearchable darkness in the distance, the infinite desolation and
"What is this?"
Glesia let out a thin breath...... As the space shifted, the fierce killing intent that had been locking on her finally weakened slightly, but as soon as her gaze turned around, her brow that had just stretched out furrowed again.
Dots of luster flickered at the end of each vertical and horizontal stone beam, condensed and twisted into different forms. The total plane is like a whirlpool, like a mirror, like a door...... If you connect the doors of the same system with the line of sight, you will find that each plane of these stone beams is a road, and together with those portals, a magnificent and complex infinite ......
"A labyrinth of space. ”
The corners of the Psychic Warlock's mouth twitched subconsciously.
The distorted space constructs a labyrinth, and it should be said that the idea of the god of magic coincides with his...... No, or maybe it's not as good as that, at least in terms of the methods and perceptions of plane distortions, he just managed to make reasonable use of most planes. And the unified shape of various portals also shows that his understanding of the labyrinth only stays at the simple level of 'entry and exit'.
However, even then, this is already very troublesome.
"Labyrinth?" Gracia laughed, "Is this kind of thing counted? This layer has a bottom, as long as you open the bottom layer again, it will ...... Huh?"
The mocking laughter came to an abrupt end - the Devil Princess jumped lightly from the side of the stone beam, but did not fall to the next floor as expected, and the space around her writhed her body without a trace, and 'absorbed' her back to the side of the stone beam. Stand there horizontally. After being stunned, she jumped forward over the 'ground', but was still standing below it again. No matter how they moved, they all stayed on the four sides of this stone beam, unable to leave. In this way, he walked horizontally around the stone beam, and Glesia could only give up:
"Damn...... You can't fly and you can't fly, and. The flow of magic is getting stranger and stranger. We simply ruined ......"
Click.
A sharp grinding sound interrupted her words, and the Blazing Sky Divine Attendant had already swung his sword casually, severing the stone beam!
Since you can't leave, it's a simple idea to cut off its whereabouts together...... Sometimes, the easiest solution means the fastest solution, and in this case, it may be a battle against God, saving some time and gaining a slight advantage.
The sound of friction was extremely crisp, and the hard, wide obsidian creature was not much different from a stake under Ariel's sword. However, her beautiful brow only wrinkled a little deeper because of this—the rubble was splattered and the fractures were transparent, but the slightly sloping stone beam did not move, not even a hint of trembling, as if it were not erected in the air at all, but placed on the flat earth.
Ariel swung his sword in his hand. In an instant, she had chopped the stone beneath her feet into a dozen pieces, but her attempt to pry one of them up had failed, each of which was firmly attached to the part below. Except for the splash of debris, there was no way to open any of the slightly larger gaps. And those original gaps have closed most of them in a few blinks of an eye.
"Hahaha...... It's stupid, the mage god isn't very smart, but there's no way he can't think of it, right? ”
Noticing the defeat of her opponent, Gracia immediately laughed without hesitation. It was as if she hadn't come up with a similar proposal just now. Before the Blazing Celestial's gaze could stare at her, she had already turned her head and diverted the other's attention with a fussy shout. Fleeing from the battlefield in a puff of smoke: "Lord Edward, have you found a way out?"
In fact, the Psychic Warlock had just exited the portal at the end of the stone beam...... On the other side of the door, there is a stone beam that is slightly lower than this stone beam. But the difference between the two is compared to the endless depth of the underground. It can almost be said that it is equivalent to not counting, so calculated, even if the length of each stone beam is only tens of feet, it will take a surprising amount of time to descend enough distance, not to mention the fact that the fork in the road caused by the four doors at the end will not only make the choice astronomical, but also quickly confuse the concept of space.
In this black rumbling and stone pillar space, the concept of up, down, left and right. I'm afraid that as long as it takes thirty or fifty teleportations, it will be completely confused, right?
But the psychic still smiled.
Pure spatial connection. There is no possibility of a secondary move...... So, it seems like it's okay to take a shortcut.
Spit out a series of judgments as if to himself, a subtle iridescent glow flashed around the psychic mancer's body, and his gaze fell on the edge of his vision, in the darkness beneath the heavy stone beams, and he reached out and tapped on the door...... The portal in front of him was already flickering and twisting, and subtle waves flowed from the calm mirror.
Just like the eyes of a psychic warlock, on a stone pillar a few hundred feet away.
......
Time is like water in a drip, and it never stops...... The flickering of the portal, the darkness around them, and the faint halo of the stone beams under their feet disturbed everyone's vision, and even made everyone have a strange sense of time confusion, as if every time, they were moving from night to early morning, and from early morning to dusk.
However, no matter how drastic the movement was, and no matter how many hundred feet they could sneak down with each move, the three-man team was still moving slowly......
The laws of space are always grouped into the most basic of all the laws that make up this world, and there is no doubt that this foundation is similar to one of the conjectures of the man named Goldbach, who also forms the ontological structure of a grand world, on which billions of variations are stretched and piled up.
For example, many mathematical operations, theorems, solutions...... For example, the upper and lower realms of this world, the inner realm and the outer realm, the astral plane and the endless ladder, the world tree and the river Styx, and the endless prosperity of the world...... However, if we want to unravel these layers of appearance and observe the magnificence of the most essential cardinal point, then it is very likely that everything on it will be incomparable.
It's like the argument why one plus one equals two, like the process of how distorted space gets from left to right, and even if you've seen the standard answer, it's still hard to retell it.
And Edward didn't even read the complete answer, let alone understand it - he relied on the fragments that were etched into his memory, so it still took Edward a considerable amount of time to change the nature of the portal to reshape the route, especially the deeper the distance, the more complex and difficult the characteristics of the portal became, difficult to decipher and difficult to reverse.
But Edward did not consider resting, for a certain feeling in the darkness told him that he was closer than ever to the source of that great divine power.
It may be just between two or three moves, and you will be able to get close to the exit.
He thought so as to step over the light of the teleportation, but when he looked up, he suddenly noticed the side face of Ariel walking in front of him—the flickering light of the spatial door reflected her cheeks, but it was actually the colored light, and it was difficult to hide the luster reflected by sweat on the pale paper.
"What's wrong?" Edward asked. Then he noticed the slight tremor on the shoulders of the Blazing Sky Divine Attendant: "Do you feel something?"
"Nothing, no ......," she subconsciously responded, but she couldn't help but be a little flustered in the eyes of the telemagician. In the end, I could only bow my head: "It's just a strange feeling...... Somewhat hot. ”
"Hot?" The Blazing Celestial Attendant's frowning brow and a little rapid breathing made the Psychic Warlock stunned for another moment, and then turned his gaze to Glesia, which immediately caused the other party's eyebrows to fly: "Hehehehe...... I thought you really didn't feel it, but now you know? It's not that I'm lying to you, I've always been honest!" the Devil Princess covered the corners of her mouth, smug. But soon a smile grew: "Ahhh......h then the cursed heaven mountain...... Speaking of which, the heat seems to be getting stronger and stronger. It's a little unbearable. ”
"You...... Let him go!" Ariel scolded, in a low voice. But then I couldn't help but be stunned: "That...... Elena, she ......," she added in a panic. But by this time, the devil princess had wrapped herself around the psychic sorcerer's arm like a snake.
"Don't be so exaggerated. I just want to be cool, why don't you try it, Edward's hands are cool and comfortable. Grathia giggled, like a hen that had stolen wheat, "And Lord Edward didn't refuse, did he? Lord Edward. Your hands are cold, so comfortable. Can you touch it for me again?"
Edward's brow furrowed.
Of course, it's not because of Her Royal Highness the princess who suddenly became a nymphomaniac - as a pure energy body, contact with Edward's body like this is actually extremely dangerous, if the telemancer has the heart to attack, as long as the thought turns, he can directly turn the princess's incarnation into his own energy and absorb it!
The problem was at the moment when he was about to consider whether to absorb or kick this guy away. The touch of the other hand.
Ariel leaned on his shoulder and grabbed one of his hands. Tuck into your own neckline!
The smooth, warm touch of the skin came from the hands, followed by the rapid rise and fall of the chest, and the thin breath blowing against the cheeks...... Her body temperature didn't seem to rise unusually, but for a moment, Edward could clearly see some kind of confusion in those golden eyes...... It's like a person who is controlled by domination. She gripped the Psychic Warlock's fingers with all her might, causing even his arm bones to let out a gurgling wail.
Is there some effect caused by the power of the mage god?
Edward looked up alertly, his eyes narrowing at the darkness around him.
But nothing came of it.
Scattered among the stone beams around him, the faint feeling of divine power was like a fog, which confused his senses a lot, and as he deepened his position, this confusion had become more and more intense, and even seemed to stir up the rolling shadows, covering them from all directions.
With this alone, it will be for these two people...... No, is it the effect of the gods and demons?
If it's some kind of mental magic, or something else, then there's no way you don't feel it...... Even if he couldn't detect it, he should have had the same negative reaction as them did by now - or was it just a targeted attack by the mage god? No, it was even more impossible, if he had the means and attention to conceal the psychic sorcerer's mental tentacles, he would have already preempted Edward.
Even if the gods often have a bit of a bad habit of playing with mortals and the weak, it is impossible for Azus to ignore Edward, the inheritor of the power of the ancient evil.
Toxicity?
It's impossible, not to mention whether Elena's body has been affected, Glesia is a pure energy body, how can it be affected by this kind of thing?
Quickly ruling out all kinds of possibilities in his mind, he turned over his mental power, and gave the three of them a psychic ability at the same time. formed a defense over their souls, then drew a small ball of water from the air around them and landed above her head......
However, all these efforts seemed to have no effect at all, and when the water balloon stained his hair, and Ariel lifted his face weakly to him, his golden eyes were still confused.
"I ...... I...... It's hot. She muttered in a low voice, there didn't seem to be much pain in her voice, but it was quite weak: "Body...... No, it's in my soul...... It's like it's lit. You...... Let me lean on it a little more. ”
Something that acts directly on the soul, then the will steel tower should be effective, right?
"Ahhh......h It's hot, it's cool, Lord Edward, let me hold ...... Hey, you're so cool with a fool angel!"
Before the thought in her heart turned, the naked and soft feeling had been directly attached to her body, and the body of the devil princess was wrapped around like a big slippery loach, and it was not only Edward, she also pulled Ariel with her hand, and in the click tearing sound, she tore off half of the leather armor on her body directly!
Then, Iriel's cheek pressed against Edward's, and the soft flap of her lips gagged his lips fiercely!
"Alas...... Huh?"
With a slight scream, she suddenly struggled to her feet, removed her lips from Edward's mouth, and tried to leave his body, but the devil princess still held on to her, leaving her to scream helplessly (to be continued......
