158. The Source of Chaos
"No...... Now we can't get close to the city at all!"
Nia looked at the city not far away in distress, but she had no way to break through that invisible barrier - although she was a creature with almost infinite power to perform the functions of the world, but because all her power came from the world itself, she had no way to deal with the predicament in front of her.
"Aren't you the elite of the human mages, can't you even solve this little trouble!?"
"This ...... Nia-sama, that's what I said, but we're only human beings after all, and even though we are usually very confident in ourselves, we ...... Sorry, but we're powerless. ”
Although it may seem that his side will be too incompetent to say such things, these association mages present have no other choice - slap their swollen faces and become fat? Impossible, the mages present are not going to force themselves to be bored for the sake of their "self-esteem" that will turn into an empty bubble in a few minutes.
Because of a very simple truth - for them, the current situation has no choice, in fact, it can't be said to be a shameful thing, right?
"The strength of a single person is not enough to break through, so it should always be possible to go together, right?"
As soon as Nia said this, the mages of the association showed helpless faces on their faces.
"No, so many people's magic power ▽ is mixed together, and the magic attribute in it will become very disordered. If you use it in other places, you don't need to care about this, but to break through this obstacle in front of you, you have to be pure and powerful single-attribute magic. ”
“......”
Nia looked back at the "barrier" that separated them. Nodding, he didn't doubt what these mages were saying—this "barrier" in front of him. It is the result of some kind of chaotic power assimilation that erodes the real world, if the magic used to break through is mixed with too many attributes that exist in the difference. It will inevitably be completely activated by the chaotic nature of this, causing self-destruction.
Originally, Nia herself could meet this condition, but when she tried to contact this chaotic barrier, and finally found that her strength not only had no effect, but also strengthened the strength of the other party, she wisely gave up her strength.
This chaotic force has been completely assimilated with the earth beneath her feet, and Nia's power comes from this world itself, but she cannot exist in the world independently. Restrained by her strength, she was unable to break through this line of defense from the beginning.
【Strength...... It's not a panacea......]
In terms of the situation in front of her, she may not be as effective as a human mage whose strength is far less than one percent of hers. For such a situation, Nia can only sigh in addition to helplessness.
"Mistress Nia, this barrier ...... Is it really that dangerous?"
"If you don't believe in evil, you can try to touch it with your body. Nya's dangerous gaze swept over the human mages behind her, "Although they are meant to have the effect of blocking. The corrosive and destructive nature of it is downplayed, but if it is directly touched, it can still destroy the consciousness of the living being—after that, it will become a madman who longs to chase after self-destruction. Don't blame me for not reminding you. ”
In that brief encounter, Nyoa had already figured out some of the qualities of this strange chaotic power.
That dangerous trait, which had not yet been fully expressed, still gave Nya some trepidations - she could feel it. This kind of corrosiveness does not only act on living and conscious living beings. Inanimate, unconscious. As long as there is something in this world, it can be eroded by its pervasive permeability.
Nia also felt quite a rat trap and seized the chaotic power of this land, because of the assimilation of the land, Nia's power is very likely to reverse this chaotic power to make this chaotic force more active. If she forcibly breaks through, Nia has some certainty that she can break through this wall of chaos, but ...... The deadly corrosiveness that is confined to it, if it is completely activated and liberated by this, is bad.
Nia estimated that the chaotic realm that closed the radius of nearly a thousand meters around the imperial capital would be enough to expand the range by more than ten times if it all erupted - and this chaotic power was almost completely irresistible to most mortal lifeforms!
[I'm in trouble now...... What is that guy who is about to run out? Such an arrangement looks like it has been prepared for a long time, but why is the aura it reveals completely irrational, almost like a beast that runs wild only by some instinct......]
The crack above the imperial capital was naturally clear to everyone present. The current situation in the imperial capital undoubtedly stimulated the hearts of every mage present, but the barrier in front of them made these mages return with no choice at all.
“...... I wonder if you're willing to take a risk?"
"Nia-sama, do you have anything you can do?"
The mages were still very respectful of Nia, after all, after seeing the power of the exaggerated giant snake and seeing it transform into a woman in front of them, no one would still regard Nia as a harmless ordinary girl. Although Nya's origins are still unknown, the mages have come to regard her as a remnant of the gods.
"My power can't act directly on this barrier, but...... If you act as an intermediate node and do the proper transformation, I think maybe you can. ”
"Is that okay!?"
The mages were shocked.
Transferring one's own magic power to others, and letting others release it?And listening to Nia's words, it seems that after such a step, the two conditions of "not changing her own power and its own attributes" and "eliminating its own natural breath" can be satisfied!?What kind of joke is this......
Isn't this a contradiction between two things: the former implies the intimacy of its power, and the latter makes it clear that it is fundamentally changed—this is completely conflicting?
However, thinking that the other party was a transcendent being, the mages consciously did not express their doubts.
"I know what you're suspicious. "Although the words were not spoken. But how could the expression on her face be hidden from Nia?"The human body can't meet what I'm talking about—so, before I do the power. It will first change your constitution and transform your body into a character that can carry my power and be perfectly expressed. ”
...... This is to ...... Transforming the body?
Quite a few mages on their faces. He showed a look of hesitation and struggle.
Many mages have an instinctive resistance to such things as transforming their bodies, not to mention some transformations that involve the fundamentals of the body and the root of magic.
For example, the "transformation" that Nia refers to is, in a sense, not fundamentally different from turning these mages into her own "puppets". The magic attribute is the embodiment of an individual's soul traits. Changing it, transforming it into a unified nature, at a certain point, it can be said that the personality traits are greatly weakened or even eliminated.
Because those chaotic and incompatible attributes mean that you are different from others.
"Is it hard to make a decision? I can promise not to interfere with your personality......
"That's not for that, Mistress Nia. We believe in Nia-sama's character, but, after all, we are also magicians. On this kind of issue...... Can I please give me a moment to think about it?"
“......”
Didn't refuse, but said "consider"?
Nia didn't say much, after all, once this decision was made, it wasn't her who would suffer, and she couldn't rush these mages on this kind of thing.
However, the mages exchanged ears. When you are exchanging your opinions......
"What's that? Sky...... Torn apart!?"
If the big crack in the sky was "slowly opened", then it is now presented in front of everyone. It was undoubtedly more impactful—the big crack that had already been opened was now like something was pulling it from the inside. It was being "torn apart" little by little.
And the storage zài, which gradually emerged from it, also slowly "climbed" out of it. It looked like a butterfly struggling out of a cocoon - but that guy was much, much uglier than a butterfly or something!
A huge black sphere, if you look closely, the surface is still some black tentacles that are constantly squirming and twitching, just looking at this shape makes Nia feel sick, not to mention, there is still a ...... on it
"Oh no! don't look at that thing!" Nya quickly reminded the magician beside her, "your souls can't stand that...... Is it too late?"
No one answered Nia's question.
Because all the mages' eyes agreed to be directed towards the evil distorted huge black ball. Their current appearance is completely stupid, but Nia knows that these people are not like this because of emotions such as surprise, it is purely because their souls are eroded and attacked by that extremely polluted monster!
These mages have been chasing her for nearly ten kilometers without fear of death, and with their curiosity and spirit of inquiry, they will definitely not be able to hold back and take a look at anything abnormal. Even if they said that they were unprepared rookies, that little bit of defense was obviously not enough in front of this hateful giant monster.
"Don't blame me!"
In a hurry, Nia didn't care to wait for these mages to come up with a discussion - time waits for no one at all! Whether it is rushing to the imperial capital or rescuing these troubled mages, time has become more and more urgent and precious.
Without hesitation, Nia dyed all the surrounding space with golden light, and opened up enough power to the maximum to Nia, and directly forced these radiant powers into the bodies of the magicians. There was no need to ask for their personal wishes now, Nia only knew that if she didn't do it herself, after a minute, the souls of these mages would be completely lost.
In that case, let's just put the two things together!
"Magician is really a troublesome profession, what's wrong with the physique of the light attribute...... Forget it, as an apology, I'll give you a little special treatment. ”
======================
At the same time, inside the imperial capital, which has been completely engulfed and isolated by some chaotic force, there are many people who are still relatively conscious. I also noticed this change.
"Don't look at that monster directly!" Skasa reminded his friends as he rubbed his aching eyes. "Add 'faint vision' to yourself first! Otherwise, you must not raise your head!"
She had just glanced at the monster that had poked out of the crack in half of its body, and she already felt a sharp pain in her head as if it was about to explode. I know what this is based on. I'm glad that the tenacity of her soul is enough, otherwise she would have fallen into a frenzy by now, right?
"But this ......"
"What's wrong? You guys...... Poof!"
Skassa, who had not yet come back to his senses, was also surprised and annoyed when he saw that many people around him had an uncooperative attitude, and quickly pulled his attention back from the huge monster in the sky - as a result, as soon as his eyes fell on the Dharma Niang beside him, Skasa felt his blood pressure rise rapidly by dozens of percent.
The spell "Weak Vision" can effectively ensure that the caster's own vision does not receive too much harmful information, thereby protecting his brain and soul. However, it actually has a side effect - this spell will allow the caster to gain a certain amount of perspective for a period of time.
What is the concept of "certain Cheng dù"?
——It is Cheng Dù who can see through three or four pieces of clothing.
After all, this isn't a magic designed to enhance perspective, and it's impossible to expect it to help you see through the mountains of buildings and buildings that are obscured. However, the value of spells is not determined by the strength of the effect, although the weak vision is a little inferior to the perspective ability, but for many gentlemen, this is not up or down. Exactly what they need.
- See through the clothes!
Isn't this a skill that is super suitable for perverts and idiots!?
After Skasa used the weak vision, he didn't think of this, and he didn't think that there were now a group of cute mages with no sense of self-protection around him!
It's the same as they were. It is certain that attention will be paid to all kinds of protective measures, especially against curses and peeping, if you look at most high-level mages with magical vision. You'll find that they're all in a mist of illusion that seems to be real and not real. Even if someone around them uses a faint vision, they won't be able to see their fruit ♂.
And now these Dharma Niang...... Because the robe has to be remade. They don't now enjoy the same all-round spell protection as they used to. At this glance, what Skarsa saw was a white and tender cyan loli**......
Skasa had a nosebleed in his nostrils.
A group of high-quality loli is presented in front of you in the form of a fruit. What kind of scene is this?At least, for the chief mage Skasa, who has a bit of loli control attributes, it's a dreamlike scene like heaven - even if you know that these loli are a group of old men...... However, because the way it looks now is very cute, there is no problem!
"Boss, please respect yourself!"
When all the Dharma Niangs saw the appearance of the boss of their family, they all dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and they also had a feeling of being more or less awkward - others looked at their fruit ♀ bodies to the point of excitement ♀, which actually proved that their feminine charm was quite good, but this made the feelings of the Dharma Niangs present extremely complicated.
"You, you...... Don't look at me!"
"What! You're ...... I must be impatient to use the faint vision, right?"
Some mages who usually have a good relationship with each other now look at their friends with reflex. When I think of using a weak vision, the other party will definitely be able to see my own body, and in turn, I will be able to see the other person's lovely body...... The Dharma ladies present couldn't help but have a contradictory and complicated feeling in their hearts - they were so embarrassed that they couldn't do it, but they also wanted to set a weak spiritual vision very much!
"Actually, isn't that good......" Skasa wiped his nose and pretended not to care, "At least, everyone doesn't seem to be nervous anymore~"
"That's because the tension has moved to another place!"
......
When all the Dharma Niangs had put on their faint vision, Skarsa found that the expressions of the little Dharma Niangs were really interesting. The one was red and his head was bowed. From time to time, he raised his head and secretly looked at his companions around him, and then quickly lowered his head and pretended that nothing had happened. It really made Skasa feel a little uncontrollable.
"The enemy still has the heart to think about these things! It's a shame......
“...... Boss, you're not a bear, you're all old virgins, so don't talk to each other......"
wryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy——
A piercing, eerie scream came from the sky. The pitch of the voice is quite high, and it can directly make people's ears feel very uncomfortable. From this scream, there was a vicious madness.
The Dharma Niang raised her head and looked at the sky, the crack was getting bigger and bigger, and the huge spherical monster had already revealed most of its body, so it could be regarded as having come to this world, right? The little relaxed atmosphere that had been accumulated before was after seeing the body of this monster. Disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"What a scary monster...... Just by looking at it, you can see that the bone marrow is being pulled out of the body. ”
"There can be such a twisted monster in the world!"
"It feels like it's really very different from the power of the guy sealed under the imperial capital in the record......
“...... Tentacle sashimi!"
- Huh, did you suddenly get a foodie in there?
Skasa looked around a little helplessly, and found that the living people in the nearby area who were still able to move were all silent after the monsters in the cracks in the sky appeared. Skasa could still feel their heartbeats and breathing, but he couldn't feel any fluctuations in his thoughts or souls.
The human spirit was completely destroyed the moment it appeared. Now they are. Although the body functions are still there, in another sense, it is no different from "death".
"It's a quiet city. ”
"Everybody's ...... Dead?"
This speculation is actually something that everyone is trying to avoid. However, the current situation really makes it impossible for the Dharma Niang to be optimistic. The moment this huge monster appeared, it had an invisible aura similar to that of Long Wei. In the imperial capital shrouded in its coercion, all living humans were subjected to a soul shock. I'm still able to maintain a certain amount of action. There are only those who are usually strong-willed - the strength has not broken through to a sufficient level, and it no longer makes sense whether they are strong or weak. In front of the "aura" of this monster, all of them fell into "death".
"If you try your best to break it, it should be possible. ”
Skarsa carefully examined the situation of the affected residents who did not know whether they were alive or dead, and found that things might have taken a little turn for the better - only "a little", really.
"The mechanism of action of this guy is still not out of the scope of 'tempting self-destruction' - those whose souls are broken are not directly shattered by it, but defeated by their own desperate hands, and their souls are exiled by themselves. If only the source of despair that oppressed them could be driven away......"
What Skarsa refers to is self-evident.
"Are you going to this big guy directly?"
"I'd love to say 'think long-term,' but there's not so much time left for us to squander. Skarsa thought for a moment and made a decision, "Go and find those two elves, with them here, the people around them should be okay for the time being." We can't do anything with just a lot of mana - remember, we'll follow the orders of the Elven Guardian for a while! They are much more professional than we are when it comes to such enemies!"
"What about you, boss?"
"I have one thing that only I can do...... So you can just go. ”
"Hey, how can we let you go without making it clear...... Eh, what about her!?"
Just when the Dharma Niang wanted to stop Skasa, who was obviously in a somewhat wrong state, she was only halfway through the conversation, and she was no longer in front of you and the others!
It was definitely not a means of spatial teleportation, because almost all the people present did not feel any signs of spatial movement, and it was not that they watched her disappear in the middle of the sentence, but ...... Halfway through that. Only to realize that she had "already" disappeared!
"That's ......"
"It's time. "Someone realized what Skasa had done to leave silently," she stopped...... Probably......"
Stopped time?
The Dharma Niang couldn't help but feel incredulous. But on second thought, it disappeared in front of everyone so abruptly. There is absolutely no impression or memory of how she left. The people present are all experienced high-level mages, with meticulous and powerful observation skills, and can hide from everyone present, so it can only be a legendary means involving the operation time, right?
"It can't be helped. ”
After realizing that they could no longer pursue Skasa, the mages made a decisive decision - follow Skasa's instructions before leaving, and go to the guardian of the elves!
=============================
"Sure enough, you're here. ”
When Xiwei and Sheena walked out of the palace with their frail mother on their left and right, they were greeted by a hurried Rin.
"Lynn, why are you ......?"
"Don't talk yet, I'll take protective measures for you first!" Lin carefully shielded the three of them with her body, preventing them from going outside where they could see the monsters in the sky. "It's going to take a little while, can you wait a little longer?"
After Lin finished speaking, she stepped forward without saying anything, and first began to bless the most reckless looking Xiwei with protective measures - Sheena's experience and intuition are excellent, and I am afraid that it is time to find out that something is wrong, and the other person ...... The eerie aura of a dark mage on the other party made Lin not worry too much about her condition.
If there is any type of profession that has the best attack resistance to this kind of spiritual erosion and oppression, not counting the bonus of the spiritual factor, it should also be counted as the advantage of these "professional" black magicians, pure professional differences. Even better than the priestly sacrifices of the Holy See.
Moreover, seeing that Xiwei and Sheena are so friendly and intimate to this woman, and her appearance also has a lot of similarities with the two sisters, Lin is basically sure. This person must be their mother.
"The atmosphere outside...... Why is there such a strong smell of madness?"
It didn't take Lindor to explain, and Yuni herself had discovered the problem—the aura of morbid madness that was trying to highlight it wasn't the dark power she was familiar with. And now. A place that should have become the home of the dark consciousness has such a noisy guy?
"The exact reason for this is not very clear. But maybe it has something to do with your side?"
Lin's gaze swept over the mother and daughter, and asked a little strangely, "The change is very sudden. The unknown monster in the rift suddenly seemed to have increased its strength significantly, and it was directly torn open to get the crack and entered the present world. In terms of time, it wasn't that long ago - at that time, you must have just defeated a difficult enemy on your side, right?"
Sheena and Sylvie looked at each other in surprise.
- What Lin said, isn't it......
At the same time, they thought of a very important point that the soul of the previous emperor had mentioned - the soul of the previous emperor, although his consciousness was disordered, he was not destroyed, but found an opportunity to escape.
"Is it the father, his soul......"
Youni couldn't help but feel anxious, and despite the fact that her body was very weak because of the overdraft just now, she wanted to rush out directly. As a result, after not walking a few steps, his body shook and he fell to the ground.
"Mother!" x2
The Hina sisters hurriedly stepped forward to help Yuni up, and Lin couldn't help but feel a little strange when she saw Yuni falling, and they also stepped forward to help her - as a result, as soon as Lin's hand touched Yuni's body, she felt as if there was a flame burning in her body, and even made Lin feel a deep pain.
"Your Body ......"
Lin quickly grabbed Yuni's hand and carefully examined Yuni's physical condition - in her body, the magic network almost showed a tendency to go berserk, and the power of light nature, which was completely different from her identity as a dark mage, constantly collided in her body with the magic of its own dark attributes. This woman, her weakness is not due to overexertion at all!
Sheena keenly captured the surprise and apprehension in Lynn's eyes.
"Miss Lin, is there something wrong with my mother?"
Yuni instinctively wanted to refute, but when Lin injected her own magic into her body, and gradually let her rampant magic network begin to settle down, Yuni swallowed the words back. The girl in front of her, her magical nature is very strange, and it is by no means something that ordinary people can have......
She still remembered that this girl had come to her mansion to apply for a maid, and she thought that it was just someone from the Mage Association, but this strange and powerful magic attribute didn't seem to be like the Association's side.
"You two, learn a little more about magic. Lin looked at the two sisters helplessly, the younger sister Xiwei is better at contacting for the time being, isn't Sheena supposed to have been exposed to a lot of magic-related knowledge, and her amateur level is quite good, how could she not find out her mother's physical condition...... By the way, it must be this one who deliberately wants to hide her daughter's sake!
After all, no mother would want to expose her situation to her daughter.
And the reason why Lin was able to find out was also because of her unique physique - she was half-human and half-spirit, it can be said that her body can also play a certain role in the spirit, and the touch just now burned not Lin's body, but her soul.
"Your mother, what kind of powerful light magic should have been used before, right? A large amount of power contrary to her own magic attribute poured into her body, tossing her magic network enough......" Lin glanced at Youni thoughtfully, and finally chose to hide the situation from the two sisters, "Other than that, there is no problem with strictness, but half a month's recuperation is a must-you two, take care of your mother more." ”
[Did she find out!?]
Youni looked at Lin with a weak heart, just in time to meet Lin's complicated gaze, and immediately she understood that this little girl must have understood her "secret"!
"Let's not talk about that, I've come to you from Lilou, not just to meet you—I have someone on my side who has something to say. (To be continued......)
