Chapter XXVII: Absolute Asylum

The Discovery Center, which was built around a narrow cress in the ground and built on a solid rock base, was now filled with instruments, and the team of five people went back and forth between them, occasionally going out for a moment to retrieve some samples of material for examination.

Most of the instruments are actually made locally in another world by alchemists and alchemists, and only some high-precision core accessories are carried by the captain, and it just so happens that World One is also a metal-rich world, so everyone simply built a full set of experimental tools and temporarily built a small laboratory.

"Hey, there's something wrong with the concentration of mana, mage, look at this index."

At this time, the alchemist, who was monitoring the changes in the energy and elemental concentration around him, suddenly let out a low breath and said to the mage beside him, and with his low voice, the surrounding knights, priests and even Priest turned their heads and looked at the rotating meter with the mage.

"Hey, that's not wrong at all!" The moment he saw the meter, the knight was shocked, and he said loudly: "Why did it suddenly soar to more than thirty times the base value?!" Your instrument is broken, isn't it?! ”

"I also think it's broken, so I'm going to call the mage over to take a look." The alchemist nodded calmly: "Don't be nervous first, I'll analyze with the mage if it's a problem with the instrument." ”

However, soon there was no need for them to analyze the question of what instruments, because everyone present sensed that the concentration of magic power around them was soaring at a speed visible to the naked eye - the spontaneous condensation of elements began to appear in the air, and even knights who knew nothing about magic could see the light of the six elements in the laboratory, which was the precursor to the condensation of the magic crystal veins.

But then, even that brief moment of panic will be gone.

Because above the sky, with a rumbling roar, the black mist officially fell to the earth, like black rain.

Whew-

It can be seen that a black line falls vertically from the vacuum outside the sky, submerging into the dense metal cloud, it continues to spread and split along the way, like ink dripping into clear water, constantly infecting the surrounding materials, you can see, just in an instant, this black fog engulfed all the metal clouds within a radius of tens of kilometers, turning those gray-white metal particles into sparkling and bleak water.

In the next moment, the surface of the water collapsed, turning into countless surging currents, rushing towards the deep cracks in the earth's crust.

Over the entire No. 1 world, there are more than forty tributaries of black mist, which enter more than forty crustal cracks at the same time, deep into the center of this world, and as the black fog deepens, the turbulent crustal movement of this world suddenly settles down, and the hot lava vent gradually mutes fire. The calm lava lake began to cool, and the cracks that emitted large quantities of metallic black smoke and hot steam were not moving, as if they were dead, and the successive earthquakes and volcanic eruptions had long since stopped.

You can even see that the orange-red magma sea deep in the earth's mantle is turning black in large areas, as if it has been robbed of all vitality...... It can be determined that the black mist is using the cracks in the earth's crust as an entrance and exit, wantonly absorbing the energy of the planet.

This planet is nothing more than a supply depot.

And the elite team in the laboratory around the cracks in the earth's crust was 'lucky' to witness this scene with their own eyes.

A mage who was originally going to test the concentration of mana. Shocked to the image of the observation circle located deep in the crack between the earth and the earth, he and his companions witnessed the scene of the black mist invading the interior of the planet and drawing lava energy, and everyone was silent, lest they attract the attention of the other.

"What the hell is this...... Go deep into the center of the earth, absorb magma, and multiply itself? ”

The cleric whispered, "This thing...... Not to mention is the pinnacle of extreme intentions, right? ”

"No ......"

Priest looked at the screen, he stared at the black mist that devoured the mantle magma in a big gulp, swallowing up all the energy in the entire crack, and swallowed: "It's legendary." ”

"We've encountered a legendary otherworldly existence - what are you doing in a daze, run!"

As soon as the words fell, the entire laboratory immediately began to prepare in a panic, in just a few seconds, everyone carried the most important data on their bodies, as for the equipment in the laboratory, if you lose it, you will lose it, no matter how many dozens of times this kind of thing is, it can't be compared with the information about the discovery of the existence of the legend of the other world, the most important thing for them now is to stay away from this terrifying existence as soon as possible, and then send a letter back to Microf, asking for support or asking to interrupt the exploration and return as soon as possible.

Thirty seconds later, everyone was on the off-road vehicle driven by the knight, and in the next moment, as the knight stepped on the magic door hard, the engine roared violently, and the whole car completed its transformation in an instant and flew into the air.

And at this moment, the elite team really saw the full picture of the terrible events that happened in World One.

"Oh my God......"

Watching this scene, the knight's hand that was driving couldn't help but tremble, but soon, he reacted and grabbed the steering wheel, but even so, the entire flying car spun rapidly in the air for a week, making everyone in the car exclaim.

He wasn't to blame for that, as everyone in the team reacted in the same way...... After all, what they saw was enough to shock even the extremely strong to the point of losing their minds.

- It was a black sky.

The gray-white metal clouds that had been shrouded in World One had completely disappeared, and they all transformed into a smooth substance that seemed to be black water, reflecting energy ripples, and this black water cloud enveloped most of the planet's surface, absorbing as much energy and heat as possible from it. In addition, more than forty black needles like straws extended from this firmament, which were inserted straight into the cracks of the earth's crust, and it could be seen that from time to time, a golden-red energy mass was transmitted from under the black needles to the water cloud body in the high place, making the opponent's pitch-black body flow with a faint golden red light.

This scene is so spectacular that it even surpasses the imagination of some people, if you have to use an analogy, it is like a giant insect that covers the sky and the sun and leans over the giant of the world, wantonly sucking the hot blood of the other party.

And the elite squad and others have nothing to do about it...... And what can they do? They were also helpless to encounter this level of existence on their first exploration mission...... The crowd could only urge the knight to speed up and leave the perimeter of the extremely dangerous crust as quickly as possible, so as not to attract the attention of the other party.

"We're just little bugs, you just ignore us like grit......"

The alchemist began to wonder who to pray to, while the priest closed his eyes and began to mumble, "You can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me......"

Priest didn't have the time to ignore reality, he was constantly checking the maps drawn by himself and others in the recent period of time to explore the surroundings, constantly giving directions to the knights who were desperately stepping on the accelerator, and the mage also worked hard to release five light magic skills in a row for the off-road vehicle, all in order to escape better.

But it's all pointless futility.

Boom - With a loud thunderous sound, the black sky seemed to have finished eating, it withdrew its more than forty tentacles, merged them into its body, and its huge, bowl-like body began to rapidly deform, turning into a mass of black spheres suspended in the sky. The radius of this sphere alone is more than fifty kilometers, and it is suspended above the earth like this, bringing a suffocating and terrifying pressure to all beings in the entire world.

And its next actions made the elite team lose their souls.

The black sphere, which was as large as a city in its form alone, condensed a stream-of-consciousness geometry that seemed to be eyes under its spherical body, and it seemed to be judging something as if it were judging something as if it were staring at a small speeding car that was moving away from it at a speed of two hundred kilometers per hour.

Then, it spawns a tentacle and swings it in the direction of the car.

At the moment when the black sphere was 'staring', the minds of all the elite team members were stagnant for a moment, and they sensed that whether it was in the spiritual or material aspects, there was an incomparably terrifying, incomparably huge existence that was directly looking at them, and at that moment, it seemed that the world was darkened, all the light and color were meaningless, and they seemed to be about to sink into darkness like this, until their will was destroyed, their bodies dissolved, and their lives dissipated into the void.

If they were ordinary people, the outcome would be like this, and there would be no chance of escape. But fortunately, they are not ordinary people, at least they have been trained by a lord himself, and they are very experienced in resisting attacks in this area.

So after a short period of sinking, Priest woke up from the dark illusion in a cold sweat, and the knight immediately began to control the flying car that almost crashed because of the loss of control, and everyone recovered almost at the same time, but before everyone began to congratulate themselves on their good luck and the resistance brought by training, they all saw the one that swung out from nearly a thousand kilometers away, seemingly 'fluttering'.

It seemed to be light and fluttering, but in fact, the tentacle that was swung out by the black ball was nearly a kilometer thick, and it swept through the atmosphere, bringing out a sonic boom and shock wave that was enough to level the mountains, and this tentacle slashed through a metal mountain in the One world, and immediately the mountain was broken by the waist, and the rift turned into magma due to high heat friction.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the elite squad knew that even the extremely strong must be very careful in the face of this blow, otherwise they will turn into powder, not to mention their group of young people who have not reached the gold level? Suddenly, the knight who was angrily stepping on the steering wheel let go of his foot, the mage who was supporting the shield sighed and lay down on the seat, the alchemist held the information terminal and was leaving a last word, while the priest took out a photograph and closed his eyes, as if he was talking to himself to the person in the photo.

Priest wasn't much better, and the first thought that flashed through his mind was, 'Does it hurt to be killed by a Legendary Being?' But, just as he was in despair, the gray-haired man from the south noticed the photograph in the clergyman's hand.

It was a magical image of a young girl who seemed to be taking a selfie, smiling happily, presumably a member of the priesthood or his girlfriend...... And because of this image, Priest remembered his sister, he remembered his responsibility, remembered the oath he had promised her,

He remembered a lot, including the mysteries he had learned, or rather, barely mastered, in the hands of the Lord on the afternoon of the day at the Ares Fortress.

"What the fuck are you dazed, do you really think you're going to die?!"

Suddenly, inside the carriage, Priest roared, waking all the desperate team members from the deathly silence, he glared angrily at his teammates: "Even if it's death!" Fight until the last moment! No matter how strong the enemy is, we must dare to strike, even charge! ”

"Have you all forgotten who taught you! I don't dare to resist, and I'm embarrassed to go to hell if I die! ”

Before he finished speaking, he pulled out five bottles of magic potions that shone with different brilliance with his backhand, and without hesitation, he gritted his teeth and opened the potion injection groove at the gauntlet, placing all the potions in turn.

- Goo, goo, goo...... Suddenly, dragon power potion, magic burning potion, lightning potion, iron armor potion and holy healing potion, five kinds of high-level magic potions were injected into Priest's body at the same time, and the violent magic power and the power of holy light washed over the body of this warrior, and in an instant, with the sound of blood gushing, he could only see the transparent observation mirror on Priest's helmet turning into a bright red, and he firmly took out a translucent shield like a crystal version from his back and placed it in front of him.

"Fuck, the captain doesn't want to die, and I don't want it either!"

"Die, die, I still want to try, this otherworldly monster can help Lao Tzu with a casual draw!"

Seeing Priest's decisive move, the rest of the elite team also had courage in their hearts - anyway, it was nothing more than death, so why not die heroically, and work hard? Just listening to the sound of potion injection, the speed of the entire off-road vehicle was much faster, and the shield covering its outer side was also unbelievably thickened, and there were even a large number of holy light magic wrapped in it.

"Haha, it's just to have such momentum!" Priest shattered the glass in the back seat of the SUV, he looked at the people who had been excited, at least beginning to fight for their lives, and his heart also welled up with pride, he took a step, standing at the back of the car, Priest placed the translucent crystal shield, the 'gravity shield' made by Joshua Van Radcliffe himself, in front of him, his eyes and body surging with crazy white fighting energy.

And in front of him, a tentacle like a mountain, enough to shatter the earth's crust and tear apart the continental shelf, was slowly falling.

"Let me show you, the 'mystery' granted by my teacher!"
