There was no daylight in the cracked corridor, and the sun and moon rotated above the ground, ushering in a new day in Gathering City.
When the midday sun shines on the lower city, a huge spiral vortex appears in the pure blue sky. The strip-like airflows of four colors come together and rotate around the white dot in the center.
This sky phenomenon located directly above Gathering City occupies about one-third of the sky, and it is difficult not to be noticed by the residents of Gathering City.
Passers-by stopped to look up, and the windows of the building were filled with the alchemy company's livestock. The motorcycle stopped and the driver looked up. The security guards guarding gang and company territory tightened their guns and stared blankly at the four-color spiral.
As countless residents of the Lower City watched, two meteors trailing slender tail flames fell from the sky and landed in the Cat Club Manor in Sector 8.
There were no earth-shattering explosions, and no earthquakes.
The two meteors landed on the rooftop of the manor castle in a gentle manner, causing no other movement except a strong wind blowing the clothes.
The strange phenomenon in the sky dissipated, and there were no more four-color spirals in the blue sky.
There was a lot of discussion in Xiacheng District. Many people boldly ran to the Cat Club Manor and stood outside the fence to look at the scene inside.
The manor guards shouted loudly and waved their arms to drive away the curious onlookers.
The noisy sound reached the castle rooftop, becoming erratic and fragmented.
"Ah~ This is the most remote place in the whole world~"
An elemental trial combat wizard who came here for the first time, faced the gate of the manor, put his hands on his hips and sighed:
"It's really a unique urban style. It actually makes the city look like a trash can."
This battle wizard looks relatively young, no older than 25 years old.
Although his appearance is ordinary and nothing special, his luxurious clothes make him have an extraordinary temperament.
He is wearing a dark blue magic cloak, embroidered with mysterious light golden magic lines.
On his shoulders he has a set of silver pauldrons. Fiery red flames and ice balls emitting frost were suspended on the shoulder armor on the left and right sides.
Another combat wizard dressed similarly to him came to the edge of the rooftop and looked at the crowd outside the Cat Club Manor.
On this person's shoulders are suspended lightning balls surging from electric snakes and crystal clear water balls.
He shook his head slightly and said to his companion who had sighed earlier:
"Gardner, although I also think this city looks like a trash can, we must respect the customs and culture here. We should keep some things in mind, so as not to make people think that we are discriminating against the people and the city here."
Gardner shrugged, the fireballs and ice balls floating up and down on his shoulders:
"Okay. You're right, Kevin, we need to take care of their pride."
Gardner turned his head and saw two local witches standing in the center of the rooftop.
The two other people had different expressions.
The tall witch managed to maintain an awkward yet polite smile. The short but cute-looking witch was rolling her eyes, showing her disgust and revulsion without reservation.
"I am Mion Filia, a middle school wizard student at the local Elemental Trial Magic Academy. Next to me is Sandora Betty. The teacher asked me to receive you two."
Filia faced the two battle wizards teleported here with a ceremonial smile.
Betty next to her nodded reluctantly, as a greeting to the two of them. Looking at her like this, it was obvious that she hadn't realized the gap between herself and the battle wizard.
Compared with Betty's ignorance, Filia felt a little weak at this time...
She had previously learned from her teacher that the fighting wizards who came to hunt Samuelson would have the strength of the Five Rings.
The teacher did not elaborate on the difference between combat wizards and non-combat wizards, and only let Filia and others experience the difference between the two.
Filia felt it now.
The elemental balls on the shoulders of the two opponents are symbols of strength.
Only by completing the trial tasks of the elemental world can you be recognized by the elemental world and then master your own elemental ball.
The battle wizard named Gardner possesses fire elemental balls and ice elemental balls. He only needs to pour 1 point of soul energy into the fire element ball, and then he can use the fire element ball to convert a full 800 points of fire element energy.
You must know that Filia, as a leader among the local elemental trial wizard students, her highest conversion ratio of soul energy into elemental energy is only 1:110.
This relies on the elemental wand given to her by her teacher.
Without this wand, she could only rely on the magic robe to convert elemental energy, and the conversion ratio would be reduced to a mediocre 1:50.
The magical effects of elemental balls don't stop there. In addition to converting and storing elemental energy, it also has the power to passively restore elemental energy, speed up spell casting, stabilize spell casting, automatically cast elemental spells, enhance spell effects, etc.
What's more, each of the two combat wizards in front of them had two of these elemental balls.
"Filia...Betty...a second-level wizard and a first-level wizard. Is the Elemental Trial Academy here so miserable? It can't even produce a third-level wizard."
Gardner put his hands on his hips and glared at Betty, who was rolling her eyes at him:
"You should learn to respect the strong, the short witch. I am your senior, your senior. Don't let me see your expression like this again, otherwise I will teach you the proper etiquette for your teacher."
Betty lowered her head, covering her face with the brim of her witch hat, holding the hem of her robe with both hands, clenching her little fists tightly.
Filia spoke up to smooth things over:
"Let's go to the reception room first. Let me explain the situation to you."
Gardner shook his head and said:
"Don't bother. I don't want to waste time on politeness. Every extra second spent here will reduce our training time in the elemental world. The longer it takes, the more we will lose. Do you understand what I mean? ? Well, you may not understand. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be only the second ring..."
Kevin nudged his companion with his elbow, interrupted his words, coughed lightly and said:
"Don't listen to his nagging, Filia. We were temporarily arranged here and were forced to interrupt our training in the elemental world. Gardner will inevitably have some complaints. Just give us the prepared task instructions. We will You have to go back as soon as possible.”
Filia fumbled twice in her magic pocket and took out the magic parchment rolled into a barrel.
Gardner snapped his fingers. The fire element ball on the left shoulder stretched out a slender flame strip, rolled up the magic parchment, and unfolded it in front of the two of them.
Gardner and Kevin looked over the mission instructions on the parchment and discussed in low voices.
Kevin whispered:
"Soul-stealing wizard, psychic wizard. The strength of the soul-stealing wizard is unknown, but it will not be too strong, and the combat strength will not exceed the third ring. The psychic wizard is a wizard criminal named Samuelson, who has the non-combat strength of the seventh ring .”
Gardner chuckled disdainfully:
"Hi. Seven-ring psychic wizards. It sounds scary, but in fact psychic wizards are useless existences in combat. The fighting method of psychic wizards who injure the enemy by one thousand and damage themselves by five hundred determines that they cannot become experts in combat. . I estimate that this seven-ring psychic wizard named Samuelson only has a three-ring combat strength at most. No wonder the academy will arrange for us two combat wizards with only a fifth-ring strength to come over for support."
Gardner and Kevin looked at each other, and they nodded slowly, reaching an agreement on the strength of the enemy.
Gardner put the mission instruction book into the magic pocket on his waist, tilted his chin towards Filia and said:
"Take us to the entrance of the underground corridor. We are going to the Black City now."
"Don't you need to prepare? There will be other wandering wizards in the Black City..." Filia asked as she led the way.
Gardner said lightly:
"There's no need to prepare anything. We just need to kill all the illegal people in the black city."
Filia was shocked by the ease of the other party's tone. She opened her mouth, hesitated for a few times and asked:
"Are you so confident in your own strength?"
Gardner and Kevin seemed to have heard something funny and grinned.
Gardner smiled and said:
"Filia, who is at the edge of the world, you will know when you leave this corner and go to the Unas Ring. The powerful beings you see here are all just soldiers in the world outside Midas Island. .”
Filia was a little unconvinced and asked again:
"The Black Bone Hermit's black bone fragments have high elemental resistance, and most of the other illegal alchemists in Black City are the same. How sure are you of dealing with such an enemy with high elemental resistance?"
Gardner shook his hand indifferently:
"Your understanding of "elements" is too superficial, Filia. Of course, I understand why you feel this way. If you have not been promoted to the third ring, you will naturally not know the true meaning of "elements". Don’t you think that elements can only be used to cast elemental energy rays, or blow wind, sprinkle water, or spray fire? "
"What else can you do..." Filia muttered.
Gardner and Kevin had no desire for answers.
Kevin smiled but said nothing.
Gardner shrugged slightly:
"You will know when you advance to the third level. The enemy's elemental resistance is high, which does not mean that we have no way to kill them. Are the alchemists here in Gathering City still at the level of emitting elemental energy rays? Then, right? No wonder. In such an environment, it is indeed difficult to teach a three-ring elemental wizard."
The line grew quiet.
The group of people quickly arrived at the three underground floors of the castle from the rooftop.
Here, there is a vertical passage leading to the 10th floor underground in Sector 8. In the past, Filia would go here when she needed to quickly check the condition of the magical mouse lair.
Gardner and Kevin turned into floating fireballs and transparent water balls respectively, and flew into the vertical channel.
Filia watched the two people leave and sighed softly:
"Sigh... it's really bad. The crystal key the teacher gave me, I still haven't found a way to use it. If I can't use the crystal key, I won't be able to advance to the third ring..."
Betty looked at the fast-flying fireballs and waterballs in the shaft, curled her lips and said:
"Hmph...what's so bad...Isn't it just that I happened to be born in the Unas ring..."
Filia touched Betty's hair:
"Okay, Sandora, don't be angry. What they both said is true. Midas Island is indeed too remote. Let's go, let's continue to class."
The two left the underground and headed to the classroom on the second floor of the castle, leaving behind the two fighting wizards in the corridor.
…
…
"The battle wizards of the Elemental Trial have arrived... They arrived just in time."
On the 59th floor underground in Sector 6, there is a dark underground warehouse filled with debris.
After Li Nuo listened to Dinasi's account of the opening of the portal, he cut off the soul connection with the other party and thought about the battle wizard in his mind.
Dinasi said that there were two combat wizards sent by the Elemental Trial this time.
Their names, genders, and abilities are unknown.
The information provided by Dinas was very limited.
However, there is one thing you can know without probing:
The behavior of these two combat wizards must be very decisive, straightforward, and not sloppy.
This is a "common problem" among combat wizards. They always act based on efficiency.
Just look at that guy Mostt.
As soon as he heard that the pollution field appearing at sea was related to the potential alien space pollution in the empire, he immediately flew hundreds of kilometers overnight to the offshore waters and plunged into the pollution field without hesitation.
This is a classic case of combat wizards taking efficiency first.
Li Nuo thought to himself that if he landed directly in the Unas Ring when he traveled through time, he would be a combat wizard at some level. His style of doing things and the convenience brought by the system are really suitable for the battle wizard.
Put yourself in his shoes and think about what he would do if he were a fighting wizard who came here to hunt down wizard criminals.
Li Nuo thought for a few seconds and nodded secretly.
As long as he is sure that the enemy's strength is within the range that he can handle, he will not hesitate to kill the enemy's base camp and kill the opponent and others in one fell swoop.
It is estimated that within an hour at most, a combat wizard will appear in the black city.
Li Nuo's original plan was to take all the loot he could and leave the underground before the battle wizard arrived, so as not to be sucked into the muddy waters of the Black City.
The plan was put on hold when the girl appeared in front of him.
Li Nuo failed to harvest more alchemy wells as expected.
But he can still make a lot of money.
He took out a life potion and drank it for himself. The dozens of blood marks on the back of his left hand were repaired at an accelerated pace.
He stretched out his healed right hand in front of the girl, nodded towards her, and signaled her to continue scratching the back of his hand.
In the past hour or so, the girl used a paper knife to create many wounds on Li Nuo's body.
This is a practice close to sadism and masochism.
The girl felt uncomfortable with this.
She didn't want to hurt Li Nuo, so she threw the paper knife away several times and shook her head repeatedly, rejecting Li Nuo's proposal.
Li Nuo would pick up the paper knife every time, sit cross-legged in front of her, and patiently comfort her by writing.
"Don't think you're hurting me. You see, my injury healed quickly, and I didn't break my bones. After I drank the pain-relieving alchemy potion, I didn't feel pain from scratching the back of my hand. This is our A process that must be experienced. Only in this way can I help you escape from the cage that seals you."
Under Li Nuo's comfort, the girl once again used "Psychic Grasping" to pick up the paper knife. She tried hard to control the complicated emotions in her heart, but she still couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes.
While sobbing, she manipulated the paper knife to leave scars. This was her true portrayal of the past hour or so.
Li Nuo was also helpless about this.
There are only two ways to trigger passive deconstruction, either by him causing damage or by him receiving damage.
If he doesn't let the girl hurt him, why should he hurt the girl...
That would really be worse than a beast.
Li Nuo glanced at the harmless deconstruction progress in his mind.
The past hour has only increased the deconstruction progress to 12%, which is still a long way from 100% completion.
Li Nuo decided to speed up.
He grasped the paper knife in the air, put it back into his pocket, and took out a sharp dagger.
The dagger circled in Li Nuo's hand, the handle pointed at the girl, and the tip of the dagger was pointed at Li Nuo.
In the girl's frightened eyes, Li Nuo wrote on his notepad with a normal expression:
"We don't have much time. Now, stab me in the thigh with this dagger."
"No, no..." The girl burst into tears and refused to raise the dagger.
"Release the resentment in your heart. Think of me as the person who bullied you in the past, think of me as the parents who dedicated you to the Midas Dynasty."
Li Nuo placed the written words in front of the girl, but the girl covered her face and eyes, lowered her head, unwilling to read the words on the notepad.
Li Nuo scratched his head, becoming increasingly helpless.
He only wants to use passive and harmless deconstruction to obtain deconstruction results and energy points.
As for injuries, he wasn't really worried.
On the one hand, he lost most of his pain sensation after taking the alchemical potion for pain relief.
On the other hand, if his injury was minor, it would be enough to use life potion to stabilize the injury. If the injury is serious, call Dinas over to help.
Before Li Nuo let the girl hurt him, he had already thought of various countermeasures.
But the girl doesn't care about this.
All she knew was that she was creating new wounds on Li Nuo again and again. This move caused her kind and fragile heart to suffer.
It's right to think about it. If Li Nuo was forced to hurt a good person, he would feel as uncomfortable as eating shit...
So what should I do...
Li Nuo thought for two seconds and decided to change his plan.
He wrote a new line on his notepad:
"This time, you don't have to control the weapon yourself. You just need to hold it, relax your arm, and let me control your arm and the dagger. If you cooperate with me, this will be the last time you hurt me, I promise."
Li Nuo put the notepad in front of the girl.
The girl peeked her eyes out from between her fingers and glanced at the words above.
She put down her hands hesitantly, lowered her head and struggled for nearly two minutes, and then nodded slightly, agreeing to Li Nuo's request.
Li Nuo breathed a sigh of relief and pushed the dagger forward.
The girl held the dagger in both hands and held it in front of her.
Li Nuo stretched out his arm toward her and held the back of her hand.
Before he could control the dagger to stab himself, a system message that shocked Li Nuo appeared in his mind.
After Li Nuo glanced at the news, he almost jumped up from the ground.
【system information:】
[You are attacked by "Poisonous Skin". 】
[The effect of this attack is poison damage. 】
[Your "Tenacity" is 16 points, exempt from this poisoning effect. 】
[Because you were not harmed, you failed to trigger passive deconstruction. 】
Li Nuo looked at the gray mucus on his fingers, felt the tingling pain from his fingertips, and fell into a state of confusion.
He had always treated the product of outer space pollution in front of him as a girl, so he always kept a distance from her and had no physical contact with her.
This was the first time he encountered the opponent's skin and discovered the existence of "poisonous skin".
In the previous deconstruction results he obtained through passive and harmless deconstruction, he had never mentioned "poisonous skin".
Otherwise, Li Nuo wouldn't be stupid enough to let the other party scratch him with a knife...
Somewhere along the way, Li Nuo sensed the evil intentions of the system, and he himself became a donkey who abided by the rule of not touching anyone who is inappropriate...
Li Nuo took a deep breath and said silently in his heart:
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. It's my fault that I didn't deconstruct the "toxic skin". I don't blame the system. I’m really convinced by my special code…”
The girl looked at Li Nuo who was in a daze, blinked her eyes, and controlled the pen and paper to write:
"What's wrong?"
Li Nuo waved his hand towards her, took off the dagger from the other person's hand and put it into his pocket.
Li Nuo fiddled with his pocket and took out two bottles of alchemy potion.
The first potion is called "Quick Swallow Potion", which temporarily reduces "Toughness" to increase "Dexterity".
The second bottle is an expensive "powerful detoxification potion".
These two bottles of potion came from Dinasi and were asked for by Li Nuo as a spare. Now it's time for them to take action.
Li Nuo poured the Kuaiyan potion into his mouth.
The effect of the medicine takes effect quickly, and the body becomes lighter. "Toughness" is temporarily -3, and "Dexterity" is temporarily +3.
Li Nuo reached out again and held the girl's wrist.
This time, the poisoning effect of "Toxic Skin" successfully occurred, but Li Nuo's 13 points of "Tenacity" failed to save him from this effect.
His fingertips instantly turned gray, and a thick layer of gray mucus spread from the fingertips to the palms and back of his hands. The mucus crossed the wrist in just ten seconds and began to extend to the entire arm.
Li Nuo raised his other hand, shook it towards the panicked girl, and wrote on his notepad:
"Don't worry. I'll be fine."
The girl blinked and stared worriedly at the gray mucus spreading on Li Nuo's body.
Li Nuo maintained his gentle grip on the girl's wrist and allowed the gray slime to wreak havoc on his body.
After about half a minute, half of Li Nuo's skin was covered in gray mucus.
Under such an emergency situation, his face, which was half normal skin color and half gray mucus, burst into a smile.
Li Nuo let go of the girl's wrist, picked up the "powerful detoxification potion" and poured it into his mouth.
The gray mucus paused in place, but was still expanding slowly.
One bottle was not enough, so Li Nuo took out another bottle.
After pouring down five bottles of potion with a unit price of two Unas gold coins, the gray mucus became visibly lighter and thinner, and finally turned into a handful of gray smoke and dissipated in the air.
The poisoning effect caused by "Toxic Skin" is lifted, but the physical trauma and burden caused by the poisoning will not dissipate immediately.
Li Nuo took out the life potion and drank it, using a pen and paper to keep the girl quiet.
He leaned against the wall, using rest as a disguise, and quickly browsed the system messages.
[You are attacked by "Toxic Skin". 】
[Your "Tenacity" is too low and you cannot save yourself from the poisoning effect. 】
[You have obtained the negative effect "Aberration Transformation Toxin". The poisoning rate is 1% every 3 seconds. 】
[It is expected that the poisoning progress will reach 100% after 300 seconds. 】
[After the poisoning progress bar is full, the poison will explode. It is estimated that after 1800 seconds, you will be forcibly transformed into a standard aberration. 】
[The current poisoning progress is 50%. 】
[You suffered moderate poison damage due to poisoning, triggering passive deconstruction. 】
[You took "Powerful Antidote Potion" x5. 】
[The "Aberration Transformation Toxin" is removed. 】
[Due to triggering passive deconstruction, your deconstruction completion of "Toxic Skin" and "Nicole, a product of alien space pollution" has reached 100%]
[You have obtained the following decomposition results:]
[1. The energy value reward is 95,000 points. 】
[2. Complete panel information of "Nicole, product of alien space pollution", and recent memory fragments. 】
【Name】Nicole
[Type] Alien space pollution products
【Class】Star Continent Level
【Combat Level】Unknown
[Identity 1] Ancient survivors of the Midas Dynasty (in effect)
[Identity 2] The cursed apostle of the Blood Sun Seal (under transformation)
Nicole is in the process of transforming into this identity, and the transformation progress is 94%
The Blood Sun Seal is a galaxy-level extraterrestrial sky pollution
[Identity 3] Artificial Angel of the Angel Enterprise Consortium (Abandoned)
The Angel Enterprise Consortium is a galaxy-level extraterrestrial force
[Identity 4] An artificial angel twisted by the Blood Sun Seal (will expire soon)
This identity will expire after Nicole completes her transformation into the Cursed Apostle.
【characteristic】
1. Angel Seed (seriously damaged, completeness 6%):
The ceremony to communicate with the outer space many years ago was successful in a sense.
People at the ceremony didn't know that they had contact with an alien space force that was good at creating "immortal bodies."
The angelic corporate complex responded to the unfamiliar cosmic signal. They used teleportation to send "angel seeds" to Nicole, the only qualified angel container at the ceremony.
Under normal circumstances, the angel seed located in Nicole's soul would take root and sprout, eventually transforming her into an artificial angel produced by Angel Enterprises.
Artificial angels possess powerful bodies and excellent psychic abilities.
When they have the ability to travel in the universe, they will be inspired by the angel corporate complex. They will eventually return to the angel company that launched the angel seeds under the influence of strong psychic effects. In this way, the angel company can obtain the growth data of the artificial angel.
As for what will happen after the artificial angel returns to Angel Enterprise, it is unknown.
Characteristic 2. Severe distortion:
In the process of the angel corporate complex launching angel seeds to the ceremony site, the alien sky pollution called "Blood Sun Seal" noticed this situation in the corner of the universe.
It used its own dirty power to distort the extraordinary properties of the angel seeds.
The purpose of the Blood Sun Seal is to transform angel seeds into filthy objects that can spread the "Blood Sun Curse".
However, due to the rush of time, the transformation of the Blood Sun Seal was not completed.
Angel seeds metamorphose into cursed seeds. It only retains a small part of its spiritual potential and currently does not have the ability to spread the "Curse of the Blood Sun".
Characteristic 3. Distorted things
After being twisted by the Blood Sun Seal, the Angel Seed mastered the ability to spread the "Aberration Curse".
"Aberration Curse" is the lower level extraordinary ability of "Blood Sun Curse".
After Nicole transforms into the Curse Apostle of the Blood Sun Seal, the "Aberration Curse" will be promoted to the "Blood Sun Curse".
Characteristic 4.Purity of soul
The moment Nicole's body was eroded by pollution, her soul and body were separated with the help of angel seeds. Over the years, under the protection of the Angel Seed, Nicole's soul has been in a pure state, unaffected by the Blood Sun Seed.
The moment Nicole's soul is contaminated by the Blood Sun Seal, she will completely transform into the cursed apostle of the Blood Sun Seal, and then spread the "Blood Sun Curse" on a large scale.
Characteristic 5. Suppress filth
The space that seals Nicole is both her cage and her safety lock.
Over the years, the sealed space has helped her suppress the pollution in her body.
The moment she leaves the sealed space, her soul will be completely defiled by the will of the Blood Sun Seal.
(The rest of the panel information is omitted)
…
Li Nuo opened his eyes and stared blankly.
Was he surprised to suddenly learn about the alien space forces and pollution hidden behind it?
No.
Li Nuo was neither surprised nor excited.
He just felt sad.
Human beings always think that they have mastered the truth, but little do they know that the truth they know is always a temporary phenomenon in the entire universe at a certain moment.
Be it the Alchemy Temple or other alchemy forces.
They all thought that they could control the disaster of aberrations that produced universal metal powder, and they did not realize the huge crisis hidden behind it.
They don't know about the Angel Syndicate.
They also didn't know that the Blood Sun Seal would bring about the "Blood Sun Curse".
They only care about their own interests, only believe in their own experimental results, and are only willing to accept theories, hypotheses, guesses, reasoning, etc. that are in line with their own interests.
They can never, ever see only a certain aspect of this vast universe at a certain moment.
They only want to see this fleeting side.
So, do wizards know about the Angel Enterprise Complex and the Blood Sun Seal?
Li Nuo settled down and found out the knowledge about the alien space that Dinas shared with him.
Unfortunately.
It may be that Dinas has no right to know, or it may be that the wizards have not yet discovered the existence of the Angel Enterprise Complex and the Blood Sun Seal. In short, there is no information about these two in the alien space knowledge that Dinas gave to Li Nuo.
It seems that although the wizards in this world have the ability to take off, their exploration of the outer space is extremely limited.
Before Li Nuo traveled through time, he would occasionally watch popular science videos introducing the vast universe after get off work in a daze. The grandeur of the universe and the insignificance of oneself will make daily trivial matters feel boring to him.
But life must go on. After watching the popular science videos about the universe before traveling, I still have to go to work and support my family.
After traveling through time, he suddenly learned of the existence of extraterrestrial forces. Although he was shocked, he did not stay in this emotion for too long.
There was only one question in his mind.
Do you want to wade into this muddy water?
He has already obtained 95,000 energy points, which can bring him 3 to 4 resource-based sage spaces.
If it were more utilitarian, the energy points Li Nuo gained from passively deconstructing Nicole during this trip can be seen as an unexpected gain from this adventure.
Li Nuo can find an excuse to send Nicole away, and then leave here with this windfall, so that he can completely keep it.
The only price is to carry the sin deep inside. Because he broke his trust with Nicole and failed to save her, not even trying.
Li Nuo didn't think he could be so hard-hearted.
But what if he wanted to help Nicole out?
Li Nuo frowned and carefully read Nicole's panel information and her recent memory fragments.
"Boom boom..."
A very weak vibration came from far underground, accompanied by waves of slight floor vibrations.
Li Nuo temporarily broke away from the results of reading and interpretation, and turned to look at the somewhat uneasy girl.
The girl controlled the pen and paper and wrote:
"There seems to be something wrong in the Black City. There are very strong energy fluctuations there."
Li Nuo took a notepad and wrote:
"You go back first. When I'm ready, I'll go to the Black City to find you."
"Yeah." The girl stood up and planned to leave.
Li Nuo continued to write:
"If you think about it again, what is your name?"
Li Nuo had asked the girl's name before. The girl responded that she didn't remember.
At this time, Li Nuo asked again, and the other party's answer remained the same, and he still couldn't remember his name.
Li Nuo called up the deconstructed panel information and glanced at the "status bar".
A negative state called "severe memory loss" caught Li Nuo's attention.
It should be this negative state that caused the girl to lose a small part of her memory, including her own name.
Li Nuo watched Nicole leave.
He sat cross-legged on the ground and continued to check the decomposition results.
He had to finish reading the results of the analysis as soon as possible.
Li Nuo was worried that the two combat wizards of the Elemental Trial would destroy the sealed space indiscriminately, which would cause Nicole's soul to be contaminated by the Blood Sun Seal.
As the reading progressed rapidly, several paragraphs of system text came into Li Nuo's sight.
Li Nuo's pupils dilated slightly, and his breathing couldn't help but stop.
…
[Product of Alien Space Pollution·Nicole’s Weakness]
One-hit kill weakness:
When your "Spirit" attribute value is at least 2040 points, you can use "Psychic Bombing" to kill Nicole instantly.
Detonating 8,000 level 1 corpses at once can kill Nicole instantly.
System reminder: Do not use soul-targeting spells to attack Nicole. After her soul is damaged, Nicole will be contaminated by the will of the Blood Sun Seal, which will accelerate her transformation into the cursed apostle of the Blood Sun Seal. After the transformation is completed, the combat effectiveness of the cursed apostle Nicole will be greatly improved.
Critical Damage Level Weaknesses:
Nicole's spell resistance is very low, ranging from 0% to 35%.
Using any attack method other than the soul level to launch a concentrated attack on Nicole can cause fatal damage to her.
Impeding Action Level Weaknesses:
Nicole's spiritual magic attainments come from the angel seeds rooted in Nicole's soul.
The "Aberration Curse" that Nicole masters comes from the pollution of the Blood Sun Seal attached to the angel seeds.
Using methods targeting Angel Seeds and Blood Sun Seals can effectively suppress Nicole's strength.
If Nicole's soul is extracted from the contaminated body, or Nicole's soul is destroyed alone, the will of the Blood Sun Seal can completely take over Nicole's body, and then forcefully transform Nicole's body into a The weak apostle of the curse.
Because this kind of apostle failed to swallow Nicole's soul and the angel seeds in her soul, it only had one-third of its normal strength.
…
Li Nuo had no intention of killing Nicole.
But this did not prevent him from seeing something in the "Weaknesses" column.
The system mentioned in the "Hindering Action Level Weakness" that extracting Nicole's soul can forcefully transform Nicole's body into a weaker apostle of the curse.
These words reminded Li Nuo of someone.
The soul-stealing wizard in the Black City.
Isn't the magic that extracts the soul from a person's body the soul-stealing magic?
A soul-stealing wizard appears in the Black City and happens to have the ability to steal Nicole's soul. Isn't this a coincidence?
Li Nuo was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized that something was very wrong!
That soul-stealing wizard definitely didn't happen to appear in the Black City!
He feels more like an "insurance" to Li Nuo.
If the battle wizards of the Elemental Trial corner the people in Black City, they will be forced to abandon everything there and flee for their lives. In this case, Li Nuo had reason to believe that the people in Black City would jump over the wall in a hurry.
The soul-stealing wizard is probably here to complete the desperate step of jumping over the wall.
After taking away Nicole's soul, Nicole's body was forcibly transformed into the Apostle of the Curse. That thing called "Blood Sun Curse" will spread in the crack corridor. This chaos was enough to contain the battle wizards of the Elemental Trial.
"No, I have to make various preparations. The worst case scenario is that Gathering City is destroyed by the "Blood Sun Curse", and Dinas and I must move our positions in advance. The next worst case scenario is that Nicole's soul is sucked away by the soul-stealer on the spot and converted into soul energy, which requires me to find a way to interrupt the spell casting. The better situation is that the soul-stealing wizard was killed instantly by the battle wizard of the Elemental Trial without causing any waves..."
Li Nuo's mind was like lightning, and his thoughts were surging.
While he was thinking, several more indistinct explosions came from deep in the corridor below. The shaking of the floor and walls became more and more obvious.
Li Nuo calmed down and took a deep breath.
At this point, there is one method with the highest success rate.
Li Nuo took out a crystal clear crystal from the blood space and his eyes became profound.
"Dinas."
"I am here."
"Be prepared. You will be ready to support me in the next few hours."
"Yeah! I'm sure I won't be distracted!"
"Check your rebirth magic."
"Okay, wait for me."
After a few seconds, Dinas said:
"I still have 2,600 points of rebirth magic power."
Li Nuo said in a deep voice:
"Okay, keep this data. I may need you to spend a thousand points of rebirth magic later."
Dinas took a slight breath:
"A thousand points? Do you want me to cast "Soul Healing"? "
"Yes."
Dinas' voice became nervous:
"What are you doing? Why is it so dangerous? Is Tatis' MI1 coming to trouble you?"
"No, it has nothing to do with MI1." Li Nuo said.
After Meuster and his mother Adela learned about Li Nuo's situation, they secretly erased the file information on the conflict between Li Nuo and Kasha, although they did not say it explicitly.
Li Nuo guessed this through the changes in the hatred value of "Rebirth Magic Potential".
After he defeated Meister, his hatred value dropped by about 2,000 points. After Meister returned to the empire, this value changed again and dropped significantly by more than 10,000 points.
Apart from the evidence that he killed Kai'Sa being wiped out, Li Nuo really couldn't think of any way to reduce the hatred from Tatis.
Li Nuo faced the anxious Dinas and said calmly:
"Don't worry about me, Dinas. There is someone else I need you to treat. The specific matter is more complicated. I will tell you in detail after I finish handling the underground matters."
Dinas pondered for a moment, calmed down, and said warmly:
"Well, okay, I'll wait for your news."
The two cut off the soul induction.
Li Nuo cleaned up the traces of his and Nicole's stay here.
He turned into a white skull and flew towards the black city hidden deep underground.
There is a shaft leading directly to the Black City on the 80th floor underground, and the map of that floor has been stored in Li Nuo's mind. As for the layout of the Black City, Li Nuo found the answer from Nicole's memory.
He followed the map's guidance and flew toward the shaft, while calling up his spell list in his mind.
"Let me think about it...
"The attack methods of illegal alchemists in Black City are related to heat energy, kinetic energy, venom, energy rays, explosions, etc. If I am caught in the fire, the consumption of shield strength will be very large. Therefore, "Magic Shield" ” level needs to be mentioned again.
"Also, I don't know how its principles and prestige can be on the spell of the soul wizard to plunder the soul. In order to prevent his sneak attack, I want to click the" Soul Shield ". In the same way, "Soul Shield" is also the key upgrade object. "
Li Nuo calculated the amount of upgrade consumption and the energy reserved for emergencies.
He operated in his mind and raised all three shield spells to level 70.
All the additional rewards, he chose "Option 1: Enhance the intensity of the shield."
In this way, the data on the panel has changed significantly.
【Energy Value】 70097/25 (23+2)
The upper limit of energy value at 23 points comes from 23 points.
The upper limit of the energy value of 2 points comes from the attribute value improvement reward after cultivation forging. Because "strength" and "tenacity" have been increased by 1 point, the upper limit of energy value is +2.
【Soul Power】 2940
【Skill】
Soul Shield, level 70, resist 120 attacks at the soul level within 1 minute
Soul Shield, level 70, shield strength 150 points
Magic shield, level 70, shield strength 150 points
