dark.
Deep darkness.
Boundless, as dark as death itself.
Immersed in this darkness, I can't see, I can't hear, I can't feel my limbs, even the feeling of air entering my lungs has become a luxury.
This is the most real feeling of George's soul at this moment.
For George, who has experienced such darkness countless times, it is not the most desperate state, and is even somewhat accustomed to it.
But this time, different from the inner peace in the past, for some reason, George's soul felt a vague sense of anxiety. Under the urging of this anxiety, George made a behavior that was very different from what he had done before when he was waiting for recovery——
Fight back!
"Concentrate your mental power!"
"Gather!"
"Penetrate!"
At this moment, George completely lost contact with his body, but this did not mean that he had no direction for his efforts. The work that George started to carry out was the most basic and most painful effort——
Explore!
George manipulated the spiritual power that accompanies his soul, turning these spiritual powers into thousands of thin threads, continuously extending to the corners of the dark world, in order to explore the body cells and nerves that can respond to his spiritual power. Ends, and the magic stored within cells!
It has to be said that thanks to his unremitting study and exploration of death spells in daily life, and with the help and guidance of the undead soul given by the Tree of Knowledge, George's understanding of the soul and body has gradually deepened.
In the knowledge and experience that George has learned so far, magic power is the energy that guides and embodies the magic elements in the body under the guidance of a small amount of mental power; while soul power is based on a small amount of magic elements in the body, which converts the soul into reality. The energy in which the mental power is concentrated and embodied.
In other words, if magic elements and spiritual power are taken as the two ends of the polar axis, then magic power and soul power exist on the left and right sides of the polar axis respectively, without interfering with each other and complementing each other.
Generally speaking, the goal of the living's spell practice is to control the most magic power with the least mental power, or to enhance their control over magic power. However, the necromancers who have been dealing with the dead and corpse souls for a long time, they learn Mysticism is more focused on the control of soul power, which is the embodiment of spiritual power. Whether it is resurrecting the dead or cursing the enemy, it is the embodiment of spiritual power.
If George's body is compared to a desert, and his consciousness is compared to a necromancer, then at this moment, George's behavior is like asking the necromancer to search for corpses deep in the ground in this wilderness. Awaken them, re-establish a contract of recovery with them, use this to strengthen your own power, and finally regain control of the desert!
This is a long and painful process, and its pain is no less than that of sailing alone for thousands of miles, or traveling by night without a lamp. The core of the pain is loneliness and powerlessness.
Social animals like humans, even the most determined individuals, will be tortured to death because they cannot bear loneliness. Even the necromancer, who is famous for being lonely, and even the immortal lich
, will also find spiritual companionship in various ways during the long lonely life to dispel the feeling of loneliness.
Wandering in the world of his own consciousness, George only felt that the passage of time around him became extremely slow, and the continuous extension of his mental power resulted in a deeper loneliness from the bottom of his heart, and a sense of powerlessness about his own futility. There is also the depressing feeling of exploring this dark world that is too empty and endless.
Almost every extra minute of hard work, George will ask himself one more time, why do he have to work so hard? Wouldn't it be more pleasant to lie down and fall asleep? Darkness will always pass. As long as you are lucky, someone will help you leave this world every time? Moreover, even if we work hard, can we really reach the other side of hope?
The contradictory psychology constantly lingers in George's consciousness, giving up and struggling. This is a difficult choice, constantly tormenting George's consciousness!
Gradually, George's mental power became unstable, and the extension line of his outward mental power began to become a little blurry, as weak as a candle in the wind!
In the confusion, somehow, George once again recalled his conversation with the cat-eared girl Natalie:
…
"Jojo."
"Um?"
"Jojo, where are you from?"
"past."
"Qiaoqiao, you are not a captain or a pirate. What exactly do you do?"
"Scavenger."
"You mean, killer?"
"Yes."
"cool."
…
past……
yes! I come from the past.
Scavenger…
yes! I'm just a scavenger.
But if I work harder, can I seize my own future?
If I can seize my future, can I choose not to be a scavenger at the mercy of others?
After ending the memory segment, George kept asking himself, why did he leave his destiny to others to control every time? Why do I always act like a hard-working scavenger?
It’s time to rewrite this fate that should be corrected!
As George's willpower became firmer again, the extension line of his outward mental power also became more transparent and slender, and the trial of this arduous journey also brought George a dramatic improvement. Even George himself didn't realize it. Unknowingly, with his unremitting efforts, his mental power had been tempered and sublimated. Now, George's mental power is as condensed as that of an average master necromancer. !
It was another long journey, another long time, and finally, George got the response he had longed for! I don’t know how long it took, but a weak spiritual power finally caught up with George and hurriedly threw himself into his arms - that was the loyal wolf soul, following the scent of George’s spiritual power to find him!
"Be good! Be good!"
Although there is no such thing as touch in the spiritual world, the attachment and dependence of the wolf souls can still evoke the memory of George. The warmth of these huge little cuties was conveyed to the palm of his hand with the tip of his tongue!
Finally, the wolf souls were
After his excitement calmed down, George began to absorb the magic power they carried - the magic power that George had always stored in the wolf soul engraving, so that he could quickly summon them.
Naturally, these magic powers are far from enough for George to gather enough soul power to escape from here, but with the companionship of the wolf soul and the support of magic power, George's will has become stronger.
Companionship and hope are the source of support for one's efforts!
Slowly, step by step, George's efforts were successful again.
Following the wolf soul, the artifacts Flame Fire Sword, Saint Thief Cloak, Unicorn Nick and the King of Vampire Bats responded to George's call one after another, and the huge magic power stored in their engravings further improved George's ability. Soul power reserve.
After you have enough soul power, the next step is to break the shackles of this dark place!
Based on soul power, the extended lines originally condensed by George's mental power continued to shrink, intertwine, and reconstruct. Finally, a bow and arrow made of soul power fell into George's hands!
Draw the bow, gather energy, and concentrate!
Then, let go!
"Bang!"
The arrow pierced into the darkness fiercely. It was unknown how long and how far it had flown before George heard the sound of the barrier colliding and shattering!
Yes, George heard the sound. This was not a metaphor or analogy, but a definite feeling coming from the vibration of the eardrum. This meant that George had successfully regained his hearing!
At the same time, a mysterious conversation was transmitted to George's mind through his only hearing.
…
"Old friend, time flies so fast, don't you think?"
"Yes, old man. The last time you met the old woman, it was during the war between the gods and the demons!"
"At that time, our angel tribe and your Kraken tribe were really fighting hard!"
"Haha, no one would have thought that today, thousands of years later, the weakest vassals of your angels, humans, would actually occupy half of the plane, while the mermaids who are vassal to our Kraken can only hide here under the protection of the old woman. In the deep sea!”
"Old friend, survival of the fittest, the winner is king, and sometimes the leftover is king. Even if we were stronger than you and me back then, we still can't figure out the trend of the fate line a thousand years later, right?"
"So, old man, the old woman still can't guess what the significance of this coincidence of our destiny lines is? The majestic Seraph, carrying a human body and crossing the deep sea barrier regardless of the danger of life and death, is just looking for the old woman to reminisce about the past? "
"In fact, I have just been awakened. However, when I touched the fate line of this child, I foresaw the destruction of two planes, the salvation of a soul, and the hope of peaceful coexistence! So I need to do something What, to change this too dangerous future!"
"Old man, the old woman knows that you have a different preference for the human race, but since you have recognized the danger of this human individual, why not just eliminate this uncertain factor?"
"Old friend, you should understand that the convergence of the fate line cannot be changed by simply erasing individuals. If the problem can be solved by killing, the war between the gods thousands of years ago will not be so tragic... Wait, see It seems that my child has passed the first round of tests, and I think it’s time for him to come out and have a conversation with us!”
