Whispering Verse

The black mud sprayed from the "fountain" sprinkled on the red butterfly and the stone man, and the black mud with the earth's curse and malice flowing under their feet had also covered the area where the two were fighting. The red butterfly was above the black mud. It seems to have faded and lost its original bright color, but the illusion can still work.

People outside the black mud could only see countless scarlet light spots dancing in the silver mist, and in the eyes of the gray stone giant, Shade's figure emerged from inside the silver mist. With the help of double illusions to block him, he held the holy silver [Moonlight Great Sword] and slashed at the gray stone giant's arm, and then the sword was forcefully shattered by the giant's right arm:

"Blade of Disarrayed Time!"

Three identical giant swords slashed from the void at the next moment. One of them was still shattered by the stone arm, and the other two hit the stone man's body, but only left shallow scars on the surface of the stone.

"So hard?"

The arm hit Shade's head with great force, but after the hit, a bunch of red butterflies scattered in the silver mist.

The dark chain of sin shot out from the illusion silver mist like a long snake, spiraling around and binding the stone man's right arm. But the gray stone giant pulled hard and pulled Shade out of the silver mist:

"Although I know you are very powerful, is this a little too much? The power of the red dragon!"

This time, Shade did not dodge. As a faint aura enveloped his body, he waved his fist with extreme strength. The graystone giant also punched his fist, and with a heavy muffled sound in the next second, Shade flew backwards, but the graystone giant was also forced to take two steps back.

Both men's arms were in unnatural shapes, and they had obviously suffered severe injuries. And this severe pain finally made the "Greystone Giant" wake up a little. He let out a crazy roar again, and then ran wildly into the depths of the silver mist. In [Silver Moon's Illusion], he should have been lost and unable to escape, but in his mad state, he ran around based on instinct and actually broke out of the silver mist and rushed towards the people fighting outside the black mud. , while people were running away, they ran wildly into the dark distance of the manor where the lights were completely turned off.

Every step made the surroundings vibrate, and his weight was definitely more exaggerated than his height.

Taking advantage of the temporary lull in the fighting, the group of people fighting the church and Miss Lassus retreated quietly. When the next round of attacks hit them, everyone discovered that the original living people had turned into stone statues. This scene is quite similar to what Shade and Miss Bernanise experienced outside the city.

"Let's go!"

Although the other party escaped, Xia De didn't care. He didn't have the special power to identify the chosen one like Luvia, but it felt like this guy who used the power of the earth to transform into a gray stone giant didn't seem like the chosen one. Next, there are opportunities to follow up to confirm your judgment.

Shaking off the black mud splashing on his body, he wanted to hurry up and leave here after reuniting with Miss Lassus, but the moment he turned around, the ground shook violently again. This time, the unsuspecting Shade was unsteady and stood in front of his body. He leaned forward and was forced to bend down and support the ground with his hands.

When I stood up, I looked at the black mud on my hands and felt the stinging sensation on my skin. This time, the Crazy Land was indeed more serious than the previous encounters.

Another aftershock made the erupting black mud become more intense, and the people around them hurriedly fled to the outer reaches. Shade, who was close to the black mud "spout", also sensed more things. From the beginning, he was curious about what the spring was connected to.

Originally, I was just curious, but when the "spring eye" became larger, my inspiration suddenly captured some kind of power that made my heart beat wildly.

Bathed in the "black rain", I looked at the source of the black mud in disbelief. The trembling of the soul means the ultimate desire. The concentration of the essence in the "Desire" vial in the pocket is concentrated to the point of almost self-luminescence at this moment.

He felt it, felt that he could satisfy his body and soul at the same time, and felt what he needed most:

"How is that possible? Divinity!"

"I'll take care of things here, you retreat!"

He reached out and pulled out the door pendant from his pocket, held it tightly, and said loudly to the people outside the black mud range, then took off his coat filled with various toys and spell-casting materials, rolled it into a ball, and took out a new one. The clothes wrap the outer garment, turning it into a stone toy to prevent petrification.

Then, in the eyes of people who were either surprised or puzzled, he suddenly rushed into the source of the black mud.

Since the spring spouting black mud could let the gray stone giant with a waist three shades wide pass through, of course it could also let shades pass. He knew it was very dangerous, but he also knew he had to do it.

Every opportunity to obtain divinity should not be missed, not to mention that at the moment when the earth shook, he really felt the power deep in the earth:

Taking a deep breath, the whole person plunged into the black mud, following the hole in the ground, as if falling into a bottomless abyss.

"don't want!"

Miss Lassers looked at this scene in horror from the outside. She stood there with her mouth wide open, unable to believe what she saw. But when the sadness just started to surge, the emerald green light representing nature and vitality collided with the black soil and rushed into the vast night sky.

The silver moon shines on people.

(Little Mia is running.)

Falling into the black mud did not feel like sinking in water, nor did it feel like being stuck in a cesspit. Shade did not know this feeling. Instead, he felt a warm feeling of returning to his mother's arms. The process of sinking is not a free fall, but a buffer-like continuous sinking.

Especially when Shade sank deep enough and was wrapped in black mud, he could no longer feel the sting of his soul and body. He only felt that his whole body was so comfortable that he wanted to sleep peacefully.

The boundless black mud seemed to disappear, and Shade fell into the eternal darkness. He felt crazy emotions, but he also felt a warm embrace. Even with his spatial sensitivity, he could not be sure whether he was still sinking or had stopped somewhere in the black mud.

Divinity and primordial fire are reminding Shade of the danger here. As the first crack penetrated the left eye, bright golden cracks spread to the whole body, and the golden cracks clearly contained scorching firelight.

The emergence of light illuminated this dark space. Shade was suspended in it and gradually saw clearly that not far away in front of him, a figure was opening his arms to him.

The figure was a female figure, barefooted, only covered in a tattered black robe, with a black hood on her head so that her face could not be seen clearly, but her skin all over her body showed a strange gray-white color. She was exceptionally tall, with her arms outstretched and suspended in the darkness. The cloth strips of the robe flew back around the body, and the two slender legs overlapped each other, which was particularly elegant.

It's worth mentioning that the robe didn't button at all in the front, so some parts of the front half were exposed. But instead of showing the feeling of yinhui, it has a special kind of divinity and motherhood.

The figure's voice appeared directly in Shade's ears:

"Are you willing to return to the embrace of the earth?"

The voice was so compassionate. She didn't seduce Shade, she just extended an invitation. Shade stared at the tall woman blankly. His mental state was still normal at this time, but he did not refuse immediately.

He could feel how warm and reassuring the open arms were at this moment. As soon as this idea appeared, the pressure of reality seemed particularly heavy. And embracing the figure in front of you and returning to the earth seems to make those pressures disappear. You will no longer chase the chosen one, no longer be busy with various unexpected events, no longer come into contact with all kinds of strange people, no longer Stop worrying about what to eat every night.

【Yeah? 】

"She" asked with a chuckle. As the voice rang in her ears, it seemed as if warm wind touched her ears.

A faint silver glow spread around Shade, and he felt as if he was a little more awake:

"I'm sorry, if I fail to follow the path of becoming a god, I will return to the earth one day. But not now. There are still many people and a cat waiting for me to return. Thank you for your invitation, but I can't return now. Earth.”

He apologized softly, and the figure with open arms seemed to be sighing silently. Some khaki light spread towards Shade, and the figure melted and disappeared into the darkness.

"What is she? I sense no divine power in her."

[The consciousness transformed from the earth in the Randall Valley is not a real soul or consciousness, it is just a certain instinct displayed by the Randall Valley as the center of the earth. It sees your divinity and your specialness, and wants to merge with you to delay the madness of the earth. It is, Shadow of the Randall River Valley. 】

"She" explained softly.

The earthy yellow light flying from the disappearing figure has now touched Shade, and the light has given him some not powerful, but very strange powers.

[Outlander, you have been exposed to miracles and enlightenment. 】

[Outlander, you have obtained the spell - Fossil to Mud. Turn natural unprocessed hard stones, or non-natural stones that are no larger than yourself in individual volume, into an equal amount of mud. 】

"Fossil to Mud" is one of the advanced spells. It requires learning the basic spell "Soil Plasticity" and the thaumaturgy "Earth Affinity" before learning it. In contrast, it is the spell "Turn Mud into Stone". ". Of course, ordinary "fossils to mud" can only be used on natural unprocessed stones, so it is difficult to use to directly destroy buildings. The spell that Shade obtained was obviously an enhanced version, but it was an unnatural stone no larger than Shade himself. Shade immediately thought of a stone statue.

"Her" voice is not over yet:

[Randall River Valley has expressed kindness to you. When you walk on this land, disease and hunger will not trouble your body and soul. 】

[Outlander, you have some insights into "shadow". 】
