197. Lost
The Black King was held tightly by Sean, and the strong sense of coercion finally subsided until it disappeared completely.
On the surface, the Black King didn't make much of a difference, except for a few more carvings than before, and even looked a little more austere - if the black lacquer was like a burning stick, of course, it could be considered plain. However, after witnessing the Black King's absorption of magical souls and dark energy just now, absolutely no one dared to treat this black long sword as an ordinary weapon.
And Sean, who is holding the Black King, exudes a more vigorous and calm momentum than before.
If before, Sean gave people the feeling that he was more like a good old man when he was not angry, then now Sean has a coercive momentum that looks down on the world even if he is just standing. It's just that everyone doesn't know whether Sean has made a breakthrough after this battle and his temperament has changed, or whether Sean, who is holding the Black King, is also absorbing the energy of the Black King.
But others don't know, but Sean knows very well.
After possessing the magic soul, the Black Lord felt heavier than before.
Although Sean can't say exactly how much it weighs, the only thing he knows is that the weight of the Black King is now in his hand, which seems very "appropriate". Because before that, after Sean's realm was raised, the Black King was a little light when he was held in Sean's hand, and at that time, he had made some modifications to the Black King's forging plan in his mind, in order to make the Black King more handy.
But now, Sean thinks that there should be no need for this.
He'd heard about it before. After the artifact is mastered, some adjustments and changes will be made according to the owner's mentality to meet the holder's requirements for "feel". It's just that. What Sean didn't expect was that the Black King was still only a half-finished product, but he already had this attribute, which really surprised him.
But after the surprise, Sean was more of an excitement.
The excitement of owning an artifact.
Even if this artifact is still a semi-finished product, it is about the corresponding forging completion plan. Sean had already planned it in his heart. What is lacking today is probably some materials that are more difficult to collect, as long as you have them. Sean will be able to immediately bring the Black King to the world as an artifact, and this will probably be the first artifact to be born from a mortal since the Age of Ashes.
And beyond that, Sean's benefits aren't just limited to that.
He found himself after killing the Dreadknight and getting the Black Queen. He's got another law shard!
Now he's in the stats column about the law. Changed to Unknown Law Fragment (2/??? Although it is not clear how many fragments this law is made of, it also means that Sean is one step closer to the perfection of this law. Moreover, this is not just a step closer for Sean, but gives Sean a more accurate direction on how to obtain the law fragment to perfect this law.
To put it simply, it's killing.
However, this is not an ordinary simple killing, but an extremely dangerous death threat. Only through the fighting skills of high-speed combat can it be possible to comprehend this law. And it is based on the difficulty of comprehending this law. Sean has been roughly able to guess which aspect of the law he currently has mastered: it is nothing more than the law of time or space, but in terms of the effect of the current field, it should be more inclined to time.
But after knowing this, Sean was not happy.
The reason is simple.
Whether it is time or space, it belongs to the superior law of the superior law, which is commonly known as the "bomber of bombers". It is very difficult to comprehend such a law, and even Archmage Tallero, the space-time lord who is now known as one of the Seven Sages on the Miracle Continent, has not fully mastered the laws of time and space - of course, this is also because Archmage Tallero is studying time and space, not just a certain aspect.
The double combination of the two superordinate laws of time and space is not the difficulty of one plus one or two times two, if you really want to calculate it strictly, it must be ten times ten times ten scale difficulty. Even in the game, no player really mastered these two rules, and even if they were exposed to and used, they were just scratching the surface, after all, these two rules were too foul.
Therefore, for Sean, it is extremely troublesome to have such a difficult law fragment to collect. And this also means that if you want to achieve a process that can really be put into use or even completely controlled, Sean feels that it is faster to find other rules.
Right now, in the wilderness, Sean suddenly remembered that there was a rule that was suitable for him to use.
Metal mastery.
"Sean!" An urgent cry finally woke Sean from his thoughts.
Sean turned his head, only to find Cecilia and the others surrounded him. It's just that except for Cecilia, the others don't dare to get too close, except for part because Sean's momentum is too strong and intimidating, and on the other hand, the Nightmare War Horse also shows very strong hostility towards others at this time, so if he approaches rashly, he may want to break out into battle.
As for Cecilia daring to approach, it was because this girl had already summoned Solomon's eighteen flames completely, and it was also aimed at the Nightmare War Horse.
The former princess of the Duchy of Rumbel didn't care if the Nightmare Warhorse was a rare creature, she only knew that if the stupid horse dared to stop her from approaching Sean, then she would definitely roast it.
Fortunately, the Nightmare War Horse had obvious scruples about Cecilia's Solomon Eighteen Flames, coupled with Harding and Rottikabas on the side, faintly forming a targeted formation, so the Nightmare War Horse also chose to retreat slightly and did not break out into battle. Of course, on the other hand, it is also because Cecilia and others did not show obvious hostility. You must know that in the judgment of the consciousness of hostility, the Nightmare War Horse, which already has a very high level of intelligence, can be judged lightly.
And combat has never been something that dark creatures will fear.
"I'm fine." Sean reached out and patted Cecilia's face. Then he waved his hand to signal that the others didn't need to be too nervous, of course, he also reached out and patted the Nightmare Warhorse's neck, slightly calming the nervous dark creature, after all, the combination of Harding and Rotikabas before made this Nightmare Warhorse impressed, "What about you?" It's all right, right? β
Everyone shook their heads slightly, but whether it was Heatley or Cecilia, their faces were a little pale. Especially Cecilia. Pale Cheng DΓΉ was higher than Citri, after all, in the battle just now, Cecilia's mana consumption was not low at all. No matter how hard she tried to control it, in this environment where she couldn't replenish it, it was impossible to recover the consumed mana.
This is like the pale flame of the Dreadknight.
"We must do everything we can to find a way out." Sean said in a deep voice. "I felt very tired. It is quite possible that the walk along the way, and the fighting in between, was not as we felt, but it was possible that several days had passed. β
"I feel that way, too." Harding nodded, then spoke, "I feel like my body is rusty, but it's not like I've neglected exercise for a long time, it's ...... It's more like a long journey without getting any rest. It's like ......"
"It's like we came from the underworld to the surface world." Rottikabas took Harding's words, and his face was a little gloomy. He glanced around with a deep gaze, "You say." How many days have we been here? β
"If it's just for a day or two, it won't make us feel like this, I'm afraid it will have to be ...... Four or five days, right? Sean hesitated for a moment, then spoke, "As for this battle, although it seems to be only a very short ten minutes or dozens of minutes, it ...... I always feel like it should be longer. β
"I don't know how long we've been here and fighting that Dreadknight, but I just know that we've been here for more than four or five days." Cecilia interjected suddenly, then gestured around, "Look around. β
Everyone scanned in the direction of Cecilia's finger, but saw nothing but the empty ground. If anything, it is probably that the sky is darker, the earth is more decayed, and every qiΔ looks so messy and desolate. Of course, such a scene does not make people feel very beautiful, and some are just bursts of irritability and palpitations.
"Nothing." Rottikabas said.
Everyone was at a loss.
"It's just nothing."
If this is said by another person, then everyone will definitely think that they have been tricked. But seeing Cecilia say such things with a serious face, they didn't feel that they were being tricked, but felt that something was ignored by them, after all, in this space, Cecilia can be regarded as a real authority, because even the loss of the sense of time and direction was the first to be discovered by her.
"I don't understand." Sean felt that his head was full of paste, and he was about to lose the ability to think, "What do you mean?" β
"The Dreadknight was burned to the ground by your black fire, but ......," Cecilia said again, pointing into the distance, "what about the corpses of those ghouls we killed in our previous battles?" β¦β¦ Ghouls are not hatching undead creatures, nor are they virtual undead creatures like ghosts, and their death will not just turn into a puddle of stinky water or completely dissipate, but now, look around? β
This time, everyone finally realized what they had overlooked.
The surroundings are simply unbelievably clean!
The ghouls that appeared in dense piles before were still fresh in their memories, even if their sense of time was completely confused, and they couldn't even accurately judge the speed of time, but after all, they hadn't stayed here for too long, so after Cecilia's reminder, they could still remember. So at this time, it is natural to understand that this wasteland is also too incredibly clean, why have all the ghoul corpses disappeared?
Cecilia didn't say anything more. It's about going to one place.
Here, she had already made a clear mark before, so she wouldn't be mistaken.
"Dig this place up." Cecilia spoke.
Rottikabas's spear picked. It shook a whole piece of land, leaving only a small crater.
"It's too hard." Cecilia gave Rottikabas a blank look, then ran to the piece of land that had been picked up by Rottikabas, instructing Hina to break it up.
Soon, everyone saw that the scattered ground contained a rotting corpse.
This corpse looked somewhat like a human corpse, but the bones on the body were obviously very deformed. Among the people present, except for Lancet, were either very skilled in combat skills. Or maybe it's a Church of Life saint like Heatley who has a deep understanding of the human body, so just by scanning it, you already know that this corpse remains is beyond the scope of human beings.
in this space. There is only one creature that meets this corpse shape criterion.
Ghoul.
It was a highly decomposed ghoul corpse.
And on the surface, the decomposing ghoul corpse looked more like it had been dissolved by the digestive juices of some creature, not only was it incomplete, but there were already obvious signs of ablation in many places. Only the pale bones remained.
"This rot is ......," Citley's brow furrowed. As a member of the Life Church, her extremely professional knowledge also gives her a certain say here, "At least it must be close to a month, right?" Even considering that the land in this space is unusual, considering the nature of the bone plane, it will be at least more than ten days. β¦β¦ In other words, it has been more than ten days since our battle ended? β
"The worst is a week." Cecilia spoke.
A loss of a sense of time. It will make people completely lose the concept of time, and over time, they will completely forget the concept of time.
So in the end, it took a day, two days. It's still ten days, twenty days, and they have completely lost the standard of judgment. The only thing that can be distinguished is to judge by using the ghoul corpse in front of you as a reference, but this space is obviously somewhat abnormal, so even if it is judged by using it as a reference, it can only be deduced from a rough idea, and it is not accurate.
However, the most terrible thing about the concept of losing time is not that you forget the speed of time, but that it comes with other sequelae.
This includes a feeling of fasting.
"No wonder I feel hungry, we haven't eaten in a long time." Rottikabas said with a look of disbelief, "If it weren't for your reminder, wouldn't we have completely forgotten to eat?" Then if there is another battle......"
At this point, Rottikabas didn't dare to continue to think deeply, and the others were equally silent.
Although the instinctive behavior of completely forgetting to eat this creature is somewhat exaggerated, it is actually similar in general, that is, it completely forgets the specific time of eating. And the reason why living beings feel hungry is already a kind of body's alarm response, and waiting until they are hungry to eat, which will naturally be a big trouble for everyone's physical recovery. After all, it is very unsafe in this space, and no one can be sure when a battle will break out.
"Let's make marks along the way, and let's go in one direction." Sean sighed, "Now we should be thankful that we haven't entered the Lost Land, the woods here won't move, otherwise we wouldn't be able to make a mark." β¦β¦ But before that, let's eat first, taking advantage of the rare rest time now. β
Just as Sean took out the food from the storage space, the Nightmare Warhorse suddenly bit Sean's sleeve.
"You want to eat too?" Sean was stunned for a moment, then handed a piece of food to the Nightmare Warhorse.
saw that the nightmare war horse suddenly snorted, and then arched Sean's body, pulling Sean's sleeve and taking a few steps back.
"What do you want to do with this guy?" Harding's brow furrowed slightly.
Cecilia's eyes suddenly lit up: "It wants you to follow it." β¦β¦ This nightmare has been living in this space all along, and it doesn't seem to have lost its sense of direction, maybe ......"
Speaking of this, everyone's eyes were bright, as if they saw the flame of hope burning again. (To be continued......)
