Chapter 241: Breakthrough 2
"You're all right, are you?" Liztasa looked at Gehr beside him with some concern, his eyes were sunken at this time, his face was unusually pale, there was no trace of blood, and he looked terminally ill.
"It's fine. Gell replied with a smile, his voice a little hoarse.
Liztasa wanted to say something, but only patted Gehr on the shoulder, because Fat Vic had already come.
"You, come with me. Vic pointed at Gehr, and without waiting for him to respond, he turned and walked to the side.
Gehr smiled at Liztasa in relief, and followed Vic away to his place of work.
Although he had made sufficient preparations, Gehr did not expect that the active cutting of soul crystals would be much more painful and time-consuming than the previous soul trial.
Like thousands of needles pierced in the brain, inch by inch of skin peeled off, bone by bone pulverized, blood vessels flowing with scorching lava, chest sealed by the sea ice of the far north, all kinds of untold pain constantly attacked, flooding all of Gehr's senses like a tidal wave.
Moreover, this pain also acts directly on the soul, and there is no way to escape it, and it is necessary to insist on cutting the soul crystals with the most accurate steps in this pain, which makes Gehr almost collapse.
This is only the first day, and according to the progress of the first day, this time will last for half a month, but since it has begun, there is no room for back.
......
Liztasa looked worriedly at Gehr, who was sleeping in a corner of his cell, and his roommate seemed to be in a state of sudden change since more than ten days ago, and his condition seemed to be getting worse and worse these days. Even when I sleep, I have convulsions from time to time.
But Liztasa didn't dare to tell anyone else, especially a foreman like Vic. Based on his past experience, if he really said it. I don't know if Gell will be directly executed and thrown away as the source of the epidemic - this is Liztasa doesn't know that Gehr is actually just a "cargo" that is stored here, and Vic has begun to be a little suspicious of Gehr in the past two days, but he didn't do anything when he saw that Gehr had no other symptoms except for being particularly weak, and if he talked too much, he might bring unnecessary trouble to Gehr.
Especially in the past few days, the atmosphere in the spell tower has been very tense, and Liztasa, with so many years of connections, has gotten a little news from a few foremen who have a good relationship. It seems that a stranger broke into the spell tower and entered the key area a few days ago, and more importantly, let the other party escape, so the nerves up and down the spell tower are very tight, and Liztasa dare not tell others about Gehr.
Now Liztasa can only pray that Gell will recover soon.
And now Gehr, who is being prayed to by Liztaza, is in endless pain, and every time he marks the crystallization of his soul, it is like cutting off the flesh and blood of his whole body, but in this case, Gehr's spirit must also be highly concentrated to bear all the pain and keep himself awake, otherwise the next moment will be the moment of failure. Not only will the previous efforts be lost, but they will also be greatly traumatized, and they may not be able to recover for a lifetime.
A layer of transparent flames burned in vain on Gehr's body, and soon spread throughout his body.
No smoke, no heat, no sound. The flame seemed to be an illusory existence, and even Gehr's clothes and the straw under him could not be ignited.
But it's just burning like crazy, as if Gehr is fuel itself.
Liztasa, not far away, seemed to have a feeling. Looking at Gehr, who was lying in the shadow in the corner, he seemed to feel his vision distorted. But after rubbing my eyes, I found that everything was normal, nothing strange. Thinking that he was just worried about Gehr's delusion, he shook his head and fell asleep on his own straw pile.
At this time, Gehr's face began to be covered with sweat, his eyelids continued to tremble, and the muscles in his body began to twitch subconsciously, and the muscle fibers inside continued to tighten and relax, and his face seemed to have a feeling of aging.
"Warning! Warning! The body's cells are starting to fail, please take measures as soon as possible!" Lucarin's warning sounded continuously, very urgently.
Gehr also realized that something was wrong.
Today was the last day of soul cutting, and after learning that someone had invaded this spell tower a few days ago, Gehr realized that this might be an opportunity, so he sped up his speed, and he could predict that it could be completed two days earlier, but it was on the last night of this peak that something unexpected happened.
When he was about to complete the last cutting work, a strong resistance suddenly appeared, and as Gehr's action on the soul crystallization became stronger and stronger, the entire soul space began to vibrate, especially the model image that had been constructed also began to vibrate, as if it was being repulsed, as if it would all disappear in the next moment.
Just as Gehr was struggling to resist this resistance, a powerful force appeared in vain, suppressing the resistance and stabilizing the soul space, so that Gehr's actions could continue.
After the reminder of the monitoring module appeared, Gehr understood where this help came from—it was the purest spiritual power that was extracted from his own life force.
This act of extracting life force and transforming it into spiritual power seems to be a natural reaction, and it seems that it will inevitably occur when the imprinted core model reaches the last step.
At this moment, a lot of information surged out from the core model that was about to be completed, filling Gehr's entire consciousness at once.
After sorting out the information received, Gehr finally understood that it was a big difficulty to transform from a preparer to a patron, and many high-level preppers were stuck at this threshold all their lives, unable to become a real patron.
The moment of completing the construction of the core model is the moment when the limit of the human body is broken, if it can be broken through, then life will enter a qualitative level, but the resistance of this threshold is also unusually large, it can be said to be challenging the basic genetic composition of people, without help, it is almost impossible to break through this level.
Ackerman, who originally invented the core rune system of the Patron, also noticed this, so he specially added this segment to the basic model that can extract life force and convert it into spiritual power, and at the same time automatically activated it when the preparer hit this level and passed the relevant information to the preparer, so that he could judge whether to continue the impact or give up.
If the impact fails, the preparer who has consumed too much life force may die directly, and if he gives up, although the preparer who performed the impact may be greatly damaged, he can still recover through cultivation, and then attack the level when he feels that he can.
But Gehr simply doesn't have time to do it again, and this defeat means that he may not have a chance to strike again for a few years, but will he have a few more years?
So Gehr had no choice but to continue to move forward.
However, after all, Gehr did not break through according to the regular promotion route of the patron, and he did not have to face the physical rejection reaction that would occur when the normal patron was promoted, but only built the core rune model purely in the soul space, because of his own advantages, the pressure on him was correspondingly much smaller, and at the same time, he was able to mobilize more life force to transform into spiritual power to make a breakthrough.
Although this choice leads to him being a pseudo-patron if he succeeds in breaking through, it is still worth his fight.
The transparent flame became more and more vigorous, and correspondingly, Gehr's skin began to slowly lose its luster.
In the soul space, all of Geer's spiritual power was concentrated on the soul crystal, delineating the last rune line little by little.
As the clock ticked by, Gehr remained motionless, allowing the flames to burn on his body.
"The core rune model is complete. "When the last rune line was connected to the model as a whole, each line of the soul crystals that were portrayed as rune models on the surface emitted a dazzling light, and the entire soul space suddenly brightened.
The flames on his body suddenly went out, as if they had never appeared, and he opened his eyes suddenly, and his pupils turned pale, and a lightning-like pattern faintly appeared in the middle, but after a moment it returned to its original state.
"It's finally over......"
Only then did Gehr regain control of his body, and immediately felt a sense of powerlessness that filled his body with prostration.
"The construction of the main core rune model (soul crystal) has been completed, the activation of the bloodline has reached 43%, and the activation of the talent spell - Wind Control Technique can affect the surrounding wind energy particles to a certain extent, and the effect will increase with the increase of the activation degree of the bloodline.
Strength 1.23 (2.87), Constitution 1.52 (3.25), Agility 1.14 (3.01), Spirit 1.22 (7.42) (permanently damaged), note that the vitality of the main body is damaged, please replenish it in time, otherwise it will affect the life of the main body. ”
The monitoring module quickly fed back the inspection results, and Gehr finally relaxed.
Due to breaking through the limit, Gehr's physical fitness has improved linearly, but due to the consumption of burning life force before, the values in parentheses are the due values, and the previous ones are his current real situation. In addition, although the spiritual value has decreased by one-third due to the damage of the soul crystal, and because of the severe damage, if there is no way to repair it, it is likely that it will not increase in the future, but this sequelae is already a relatively light kind, and Biggle's harvest is still worth it in a short period of time.
Now Gehr feels that his senses are very acute, every trace of air movement in this dungeon can be heard by him clearly, and he can sense the wind particles around him without turning on the energy sensing mode, and it seems that he can command them to act according to his own will, and he is not bound by the confinement bracelet at all, which should be the effect of the talent spell.
......
Just as Gehr was breaking through, in a study on the top floor of the spell tower, a middle-aged man in a black robe opened his eyes suddenly, stood up, came to the window, and looked thoughtfully into the distance.
"Mentor, you are also very good at the prophecy department, but you can't find the intruder?" asked a gray-robed young man standing behind the black-robed middle-aged man.
"He's got a peculiar amount of power, and he seems to have been trained to fight specially. The black-robed middle-aged man held his hands behind his back and his face was expressionless, "Be alert, it may be someone on that side." (To be continued......)
