Chapter 217: The Third Way
Flocks of birds fluttered their wings in horror from the treetops.
Groups of demonic beasts ran wildly in the sea of trees.
The awakened demonic beasts that each occupied a territory lost their usual domineering, and retreated to a hidden place more cautiously than small animals, or used the fastest speed in their lives to run all the way.
Even the towering trees, blooming flowers and emerald vines seemed to be frightened, and tried to restrain their vitality.
The Mountains of Stars, which were originally full of all kinds of hustle and bustle, were silent at this moment, as if they had been cast a silent magic.
It could even be said that there was a dead silence.
It's just because of the arrival of the man in golden armor, wearing a golden mask, and a cold fire burning in his eyes.
In this way, the Lord of the City of Light, Seghardt, was suspended above the sea of trees, condescendingly overlooking all living beings, and continued to advance at an unhurried pace.
From the center of his eyebrows, a slender pale blue light shot out, like a thin veil, scanning back and forth in all directions. Whether it's hiding underground, hiding in the trees, or using some special talent to escape into the shadows or the void, nothing can hide the scan of the pale blue light.
In an instant, one trembling demonic beast after another had all been revealed.
It's just that, with the vision of the City Lord of Light, these "little guys" in his opinion are obviously not worth the effort, and after just a few glances, Seghardt continued to fly forward.
"Oh, floating stone giant?" A flash of light flashed in the cold eyes of the City Lord of Light, and the next moment, he had turned into a ray of light again, flying directly above the unlucky giant's head.
Facing the awakened floating stone giant who was level 52, Seghart finally used his hands. I saw that his hands opened at the same time, and ten slender lasers shot out from his fingertips, cutting back and forth like ten extremely sharp thin swords, and in an instant, the giant who had finally survived to the awakening was completely disintegrated.
Immediately after, Seghardt's hand moved slightly, and the evolved elemental core of the floating stone giant automatically flew into his palm.
Looking at the elemental core, which was as crystal clear as a diamond and the size of an adult's head, Seghardt nodded in satisfaction.
In the material library of the Seventeenth Palace of Azure Rock, another rare material can be added. In the long years, in addition to sleeping, this City Lord of Light often passed the time through alchemy and carving, etc., and with such a high-level elemental core, it is estimated that it is enough to do several experiments.
In fact, for the Lord of Light, if the Seventeenth Palace of Azure Rock is his palace, then this Hanging City is equivalent to his back garden, and the Stars Mountain is similar to the rockery and fake water in the Human Lord's castle, which belongs to embellishment and decoration, and is like a pasture for free-range lambs.
Therefore, he would never allow those self-defeating ants from the Arad continent to get their hands on his property.
Just as Seghardt was about to continue scanning, a strong wave of magic power came from the air, causing him to instantly raise his head and look into the distance, a canyon between the two mountain peaks.
"The ant's patience is really bad, and I can't hold it anymore? I thought I would be able to play a little longer. The Lord of Light let out a disdainful taunt, "Okay, I'll kill you first." ”
With these words, he once again turned into a rainbow light and swept through the air.
In just a few seconds, the City Lord of Light had fallen directly into the canyon like a meteor.
In this canyon, there is neither vegetation, nor trees, nor any magical beasts, so it can be said that it is a lifeless dead place. But the reason why this happened was not due to the arrival of the Lord of Light, but the awakened stone crystal in the center of the canyon that was as huge as a small hill.
This piece is a deep purple color, and it also contains a golden thread of the awakening stone crystal, which is the perfect awakening stone crystal that adventurers often mentioned in legends in the previous life, also known as the golden stone crystal.
Using such a stone crystal awakening, the purity of the essence magic power in the professional's body will be further improved. Not only is the amount of magic several times that of ordinary awakened people, but there is also a chance to capture a trace of inspiration, so that they can use higher-level professional skills, which are called awakening skills.
For example, the "Extreme Swordsmanship, Storm Style", "Extreme Swordsmanship, Iron Slashing Style" and so on.
Not only that, but depending on the individual's physique, talent, strength, etc., Perfect Awakening sometimes brings some unique skills to the individual.
In previous lives, this skill was called a "secret skill".
There are many heroes and warriors who rely on their own secret skills to turn the tables in a desperate situation.
If the perfect job change is the foundation for moving towards the strongest, then the perfect awakening is the foundation for laying the strongest backbone.
And if you are lucky enough to obtain the "secret technique" that belongs to you alone, it can even be said that as long as the future does not fall easily, it is equivalent to stepping into the strongest ranks with half a foot!
It's just that although perfect awakening is good, not everyone can afford it.
In fact, among the demonic beasts that are qualified to awaken in the Star Mountain, none of them dare to use this golden stone crystal.
There is no other reason than because the magic in it is too pure and vast.
The spiritual pressure emanating from the surface of this golden stone crystal alone killed all the vitality in the entire canyon. Under this level of spiritual pressure, ordinary demonic beasts would bleed from their mouths and noses just by entering the canyon, and further, they would bleed from their seven orifices and even hurt their internal organs.
And even those demonic beasts with awakening talents, after touching the surface of this golden stone crystal, they were not able to absorb the pure magic power that erupted from the golden thread. If anyone doesn't want to awaken through this, if they are not careful, they will directly backfire and die.
Therefore, this perfect awakening stone crystal continues to grow and grow bigger year after year, but it has never been consumed once.
The only ones who can really make use of it are the heroes who have the most strength and talent among the major intelligent races, and at the same time have no lack of courage.
And at this moment, a young man with black hair and black eyes sat cross-legged on this hill-like golden silk stone crystal, his expression calm and calm.
The City Lord of Light swept away at a glance, and immediately found that the small target he was chasing and killing, his breathing was extremely balanced, his heartbeat was very calm, and the magic power in his body had reached an incredibly stable state.
The spiritual pressure around him didn't seem to have any effect on him at all, and even the highest intensity magic power that had been peeled off from the golden threads seemed to be slowly dissolved.
"It's kind of interesting, and it's not in vain that I chased you once. Seghart made a condescending comment, but the indifferent coldness in his eyes never faded by half a point, "But unfortunately, even if you really use this golden stone crystal to awaken perfectly, you are still not my opponent, mortals are destined to be just ants." So, there's no need to waste time. ”
The young man sitting cross-legged on top of the stone crystal still had his eyes closed, sitting cross-legged, as if he had not heard the death verdict issued by the Lord of Light at all.
It seems that he still wants to seize the last minute of time and break through himself as much as possible.
However, what is the time required for awakening? If you want to awaken perfectly, it will consume several times or even dozens of times the time of ordinary awakening.
The moment the City Lord of Light sensed the fluctuation of the golden stone crystal, the awakening was destined not to be completed.
And miracles are not destined to happen.
For this stubborn young man who refused to interrupt his awakening, the City Lord of Light just snorted contemptuously, and then he moved his fingers slightly, and immediately, an incomparably strong force directly lifted Midi from the golden stone crystal, and directly mentioned it in front of the City Lord of Light.
A white laser, slender as a line but sharp as a knife, slashed across Midi's waist with an understatement.
One hit, one kill.
For the unawakened who are as powerful as ants, this is a natural result.
But Midi's body was cut in half, not split in half like an ordinary flesh and blood body, but like a shattered reflection on the water, it gradually turned into a bit of magic and dissipated into the air.
As the phantom dissipated, the black crystal hidden in its chest was suddenly revealed.
It was a rock-shattering bomb developed by Wiseman Newton, the "Hand of Nightmares."
Looking at this crystal, feeling the amount of power that was about to explode in it, the eternal indifferent eyes of the City Lord of Light revealed a rare trace of anger.
The next moment, a scorching white glow bloomed silently.
Sensing the fluctuation of the magic power of the Star Mountain, Midi raised her head and glanced at the canyon in the distance, a smile on the corner of her mouth that had succeeded in her plan.
Using the Golden Stone Crystal to Perfect Awakening was indeed an extremely tempting prospect, but how could Midi choose such a plan that was destined to go bankrupt immediately?
Sitting in the middle of the canyon is just a doppelganger of Midi.
Devil May Cry skill, Phantom Array.
Using this Phantom Circle, Devil May Cry is able to create multiple clones within the range of the Ghost Circle to confuse enemies, similar to the Assassin's skill Shadow Clones.
However, when it comes to Midi's hands, using the golden sword in his body, he can naturally make more changes.
This time, he used all the power of the advanced phantom array to create a clone, not only giving it breathing and heartbeat, but also cutting his wrist and allowing the clone to absorb a lot of his own blood, so as to ensure that the true vision power of the City Lord of Light would not be flawed in a single sweep.
As long as he can resist the first scan, it is enough, because Midi is sure that with the conceit of the Lord of Light, he will never look at him a second time.
After that, Midi stuffed the earth-shattering stone bomb that Wiseman wanted to detonate but failed to detonate, into the chest of the doppelganger - this big killer weapon was taken down by Midi quietly as soon as Wiseman was killed, originally thinking that it would always come in handy, but he didn't expect to take it out and use it before it was hot.
The many blinding methods and disguises, the fixed thinking brought about by the illusion of "the target is in a hurry to awaken", the interference brought by the spiritual pressure of the golden stone crystal, and the arrogance of the City Lord of Light himself, have become a terrible trap that will definitely hit the target.
Of course, Midi didn't expect to be able to kill the Lord of Light with the Shattered Stone Bomb, and he didn't even think that this low-level weapon could hurt the Lord of Light much.
But at least, at this moment, this blow was enough to delay the City Lord of Light for a short period of time, leaving him completely unscrupulous.
That's enough.
Retracting his gaze from afar, and gathering his excitement at the success of his plan, Midi quickly stepped out of his hiding place and into the ruins of the Celestial Realm in front of him.
In the middle of the ruins, an intact teleportation circle was quietly engraved on the lapis lazuli floor, as if welcoming guests.
In the next moment, with the ancient spell in Midi's mouth, this magic circle began to scatter brilliant brilliance, linking with the underground demon veins, and began to rhythmize.
Neither awakening nor running away, because both options are nothing more than gambling on the opponent's mistakes.
Trapping a powerful opponent with his own hands, and then leaving calmly, leaving no traces to be traced, is Midi's style.
The third option to minimize risk.
