Chapter 918: Yours, Mine
It was endless pain, sorrow and death.
The emotion, which was so strong that it seemed to make people breathless, rushed into Edward's body as the only spectator, and he felt an invisible giant hand also reach into his abdominal cavity at this time, grabbing his heart hard...... The weird touch was unusually real. Let the five senses become a blank, but you can clearly distinguish a wisp of despair xù slowly breeds and spreads from the bottom of your heart.
That's the soul, and it's the memory.
Originally belonging to the ancient evil, a part of Pandorian Ryan, he devoured countless souls belonging to another universe...... No matter how strong and vast the soul of the Psychic Warlock was, it was torn apart by the sheer amount of filling at this moment...... Countless roars rang out as they splintered, dispersing and exploding together, eventually turning into roars of pain, and Edward realized that it was his own roar.
In the corner of his gaze, the hourglass on the table was only a small patch of sand, but the cold sweat on his body had soaked his robes, and his face was pale as paper reflected on the smooth floor.
...... And a smile at the corner of his mouth.
It's better than you think...... I thought that I would be completely devoured by that indescribable monster, and there was not even a scum left.
But apparently his own estimation was not too wrong, and after a long battle with monsters, angels, and gods as a psychic mancer, Edward Vincent's soul was far from being an 'ordinary' existence. At least these things that Pandorian had already digested, it was impossible to do anything to him.
It's an adventure, but for him. It's a risk that has to be taken, and it's the only way to keep Pandorian from being an obstacle if he were to come every day. Edward was exhausted by defense alone.
一 qiē顺lì.
The psychological pressure gradually passed, and the psychic sorcerer began to examine the fruits of the adventure.
The soul fragments contained in those star chips were an excellent tonic for the soul, and at this moment, Edward could clearly feel that pleasure - the spirit was relaxed, full, and more than he had just eaten and slept enough. After doing some morning exercise, I will be more energetic.
But he cared about something else.
Those that should be the so-called residues - when the mind swims, countless images will spring up in the mind. It's messy, it's twisted and weird.
Most of these fragments are nothing more than the life memories of some humanoids, disorganized, and some of them are various kinds of knowledge. But it's written in a dozen wonderful symbols. Edward knew that it was supposed to be a variety of alien scripts, but there was no part of them in his memory, he could only see the images, but he could not understand the meaning of the words. But in these memories, inevitably, there are still some things that interest him, such as. The process by which the aliens were once hostile to Pandori.
"Against it, you must not use any refined energy. Only the coarsest primordial energy can consume him......"
"The power of the great being doesn't work for it, the monster ......"
"The power of fire, ice, thunder and lightning...... But it is too powerful, and only machinery can fight him...... The source of its power is the human spirit, and the more it is eaten, the stronger it becomes, but even if it destroys a part, it ......"
"The recovery was too fast...... The spirit can be rescued......"
Edward blinked.
In an instant, his eyes had become extremely bright, and the table in front of him was reflected in a silvery white! Countless lightning-like psychic energies traveled around him like a storm, and his thoughts were spinning at the highest speed, and the chaotic memories were integrated in his soul one by one, and the most valuable parts were sorted out, and the parts that recorded the fear and helplessness had disappeared cleanly.
Time passed slowly, and when the hourglass of magic turned again, the luster in the psychic mancer's eyes finally dissipated.
Cleaning up one's own memories is not a problem for a psychic warlock, it is just a matter of organizing the memory area, and there is no need to even use special abilities, but if you want to summarize and digest the memories of thousands of creatures, it is not something that a normal psychic warlock can do in a short period of time. That means a lot of consumption, as well as constant work in the most concentrated mental way, squeezing the brain.
Even Edward, after this effect ended, felt a little dizzy, which meant that his mental power had been depleted.
Fortunately, this consumption is not in vain.
"Spirits can be saved...... But to be dragged out of its body...... Disconnect ......"
He whispered. There was a hint of trembling in his voice.
Can the soul that has been absorbed by him be able to break away?
This news is really, really important.
However, the value is difficult to determine...... Because it is too brief, it is too simple, even if it is hidden in a vast amount of information, and most importantly, it is completely impossible to determine its authenticity.
He came by coincidence, just when he needed it most, and in such a way without any twists and turns...... If it was the Ancient Cult, it was more than capable of creating such a trap, though the news was a bit crude and barely looked like a trap. And if you relate to the situation of that female dragon......
The Psychic Warlock sighed lightly - at some point, he had become accustomed to increasing the opponent's win rate by three percent on the basis of the original when calculating Pandorian Ryan. If necessary, add fifty percent.
I hope it's just that I'm nervous.
He shook his head, but couldn't get rid of the slight vertigo in his mind—it was a sign of the near-emptiness of his mental power, which usually made him feel a little insecure, but for now, he was in a good mood. He reached out to open a door to the space, but then gave up and walked through the wide hall and took the elevator outside the door.
Okay, steam-powered lifts, but no matter what, when that crisp bell rings, the whole space starts to speed up and feels grounded...... Except for a slight shake when it stops - if only the thump wasn't so loud.
But this does not affect the feelings.
The door of the elevator is opened in the first ring of Central Street, because of the large circle that has many floors below the Mage Tower. They are all built with the central axis as the center of the circle, of course, it is impossible to make a pit in the center, but usually this layer is not used very often...... Of course, this is a rare opportunity. Edward also happened to test the effect of this thing by the way. In addition, it seems that it can be considered to expand it, after all, it is much more material-saving than the teleportation circle, and it does not consume energy, and if something happens that a god incarnates into the territory, it can also be used as some kind of surprise attack.
Wait a minute, an elevator that wants to surprise the incarnation of the gods may not be enough, at least a large magic circle is needed. But if you want to go undetected in this way, you have to work the deployment...... Or, replace it with a large space that directly depicts the circle? So should we get some armed continent Chen will go underground, and when someone comes to find fault, the buildings will be lined up in an instant, and then the partition wall will be opened. A compound attack circle behind it. There are also strengthened troops and so on...... ,
Ah, if it is a dozen or so bursts of positive electron rapid-fire guns, will the effect be better?
With something in mind, Edward strolled through the block, but soon noticed that the situation around him was completely wrong.
The early morning in Burgundy is noisy.
This small city is less than a year old. Now it has a population of more than 50,000 people, and people who have migrated from various surrounding areas and further afield have brought with them a variety of customs and cultures. Dwarves, half-elves, druids, dark believers, mercenaries and merchants, all in the early stages of merging, steam forges, trains, farming giants...... There are so many surprises in the new living environment, and there are always new exclamations and enthusiasm in inexplicable places.
Even if it's just early in the morning, people have already started their day, and it has become a new tradition to taste a new breakfast at an inn, and even the youngest children have become accustomed to the roar of the machinery that begins to prepare in the factory.
That's how it should be......
However, at this moment, silence hung around Edward's body. As he walked along, the hustle and bustle seemed to be swallowed up, and it disappeared without a trace.
On the street, in the kitchen, in front of the workshop...... Wherever they were, as soon as their eyes made contact with the black figure, the common people would immediately throw away their work and bow down to the man reverently, kissing the earth with their foreheads...... As if they couldn't express their respect otherwise, even their lowered faces were already in tears.
Edward was not a hypocrite, and he had already begun to get used to and accept the respect of his subjects...... He has made a more conventional rule, seeing him salute or not only depends on the mood, posture, words or anything there is no hard and fast rule, the only requirement is that work should be the priority. Although in the usual execution, the statement of that mood or something is useless, but at least everyone is not too exaggerated.
Now, however, the reaction of the gang is clearly a little wrong.
At first, the Psychomancer thought that the dragon's visit had brought some new bonuses to worship, but after the third stove burned because no one was taking care of it, he was no longer wary that it was simply wood. "What's going on?" lifted a patrolling soldier from his side, his spirit condensed, and he washed the other party's mind a little with the little mental power he had just recovered.
"Great Lordship, this ...... We don't know, but when I see you, I feel like I have to do it......" The psionic energy seeped in like ice water, and the soldier shuddered before replying, but it was obviously incoherent, and he even bit his tongue at the end! If it weren't for Edward's shoulders, he might have fallen to the ground again.
These brainless words were just nonsense, but it was as if a switch had been turned on, and countless roars around him were loud and loud - "Lord Lord," "Lord Lord," "Lord ...... Lord, no, our God......" "Please save us, you are the supreme ......"
From silent prostrations to shrill roars, the transformation took only a moment, and the next moment, they even began to bang their heads on the ground, making muffled sounds...... The Psychic Warlock frowned, and his body flew upward.
It wasn't until nearly a thousand feet had risen that the people who had been kneeling on the ground finally stood up as if they had woken up from a dream, and began to look around blankly, shaking their heads. Eventually continue with your work. However, Edward's condensed spirit boy carefully explored his body, but found nothing unusual at all.
"Katzeyek?"
"Your mental fluctuations are escaping outward, though I don't know exactly how they caused it. But from a psionic point of view, you're getting stronger. In the connection of the heart, the response of the spirit sucking monster lich was accurate and swift, and the reason was found in an instant: "However, being strong does not mean being strong, on the contrary, uncontrolled power has always been a proof of weakness." What the hell did you do?"
Domineering side leak?
It's the aftermath of fusing those souls, isn't ......it? However, how can I overcome this abnormal change that I can't perceive? Is it possible to add a layer of psionic energy around my body to prevent it from leaking?
Edward shook his head...... But my heart is a little more settled. It's just that the original feeling of refreshment has also dissipated, so I hesitated for a moment. He casually slid open the door of a space and stepped into his half-plane.
There wasn't much change in the half-plane, the eternal moonlight swaying on the grass, and the slight chirping of insects lingered in my ears. However, this is not a space where there are no artificial creations. At this moment, there was already a delicate hut, and a magical light source lit up in it, outlining the golden grid on the window lattice, showing a unique tranquility more and more.
Edward knocked on the door and pushed it in.
The cottage was small, and the furnishings were very simple, except for the thick camel hair on the bed, and Ariel was sitting at the table. Looking at the light on the table, he was quietly distracted, and sensed Edward's arrival. She turned her face, and the magical light cast golden trails on her face, graceful and moving.
"Ariel, can you sense any changes in me?"
The question was not answered in the slightest, which made Edward raise his gaze in some surprise, but saw Ariel sitting at the table in the room, looking at him in amazement, Sakura's lips opened slightly, as if he saw something strange, but when his eyes met, Edward found that the crystal clear eyes had been covered with a layer of blurred light at some point, which was a shadow of a faint dimness, as if the outside world could not be reflected in her eyes at all.
The odd gesture made Edward frown, take a slight step back, and turn in another direction. But even when he was far away, Ariel remained in that position, like a delicate statue......
She let out a loud cry and raised her hand suddenly, and the intense divine energy condensed at her fingertips, slicing at his throat like lightning!
Edward was startled, the palm of the Blazing Heavenly Divine Servant was white and slender, and it was delicate, but the strong holy light shrouded it, making this little hand not inferior to any divine weapon, even if Edward was now stabbed in the throat, it would be a big trouble! If you are unlucky, it is not impossible to die. And at such a close distance, Edward had almost no room to react, and that hand had almost touched his throat!
With psionic energy, you can completely dodge this attack with a time acceleration, but the trouble is that Edward's mental power is now empty, and even the ability of the auxiliary spirit absorbing monster hatchlings has been used in the action to cleanse the memory just now!
With a loud shout, the psychic sorcerer's body jerked backwards! A series of subtle silver shields of light had already appeared in front of him, but the hasty invocation did not have time to shape it carefully, the structure of the divine power structure was thin and fragile, and the fingers of the Blazing Heavenly Divine Servant swiped it, and it made a grinding sound like a crystal shattering, and exploded into countless lights and shadows!
However, this slowed down the hand for an imperceptible moment, and the multiple shields were all tilted at an angle, so the fingertips of that hand also swept slightly upward, and the telemancer's backward movement finally saved his throat, but the golden light still swept over his chin, leaving a black scorch mark there!
With a thud to the ground, Edward's body slammed to the ground, and he kicked his feet and slid out like a slide, knocking out a large hole in the wall of the hut, and in the midst of the sawdust, a series of golden light energy also bombarded the track he slid out, leaving a series of caves in the ground, and the dissolved rocks flowed outward, and the dark red color was quite dazzling!
Wait!
Cold sweat broke out on Edward's forehead, he had almost completely relied on the physical instincts he had cultivated in many battles to dodge this chain of attacks, and he had fought with Ariel several times, but this was the first time that he had been so wolf-bèi, or rather, it was the first time that the Blazing Divine Servant had been so murderous towards him!
"You...... That's Pandorian Ryan's breath! You're finally ...... Or did it become his ......"
The voice of the Blazing Divine Attendant trembled, and with a wave of her hand, the power of the colossus was already bursting around her, and the humble hut had been completely destroyed by the radiance of the divine power in an instant, ignited, and turned into a day-sweeping fire! The blazing flame reflected on her face, which was already pale, only the corners of her eyes, there were tears.
The poignancy of the moment made Edward stunned again.
However, after stagnation, he finally calmly dealt with the laughable misunderstanding in front of him and stretched out his hand,——
(To be continued......)
