Chapter 487 Who else!
The black water spreads extremely rapidly; the more living things it devours, the faster it moves...
Standing atop the obelisk ruins, Lorraine watched as the waterbirds in the sky and the fish rising from the sea were suffocated and dissolved by the swirling black mist... Realizing he was surrounded by black water, Lorraine only wished he had wings, so he could leap through the air, fly short distances, or teleport like the Archmage Romans...
"Teleport?"
"Black hole?"
"flight..."
Lorraine, talking to herself, shook her head, feeling sorry for herself...
The rune on the right eye won't help Lorraine.
Three different thoughts flashed through his mind. Stroking the ice dragon rune on his eye bags, Lorraine made a tough decision and decided to try to activate the Frost Eye and try to use the new ability to save himself.
The teacher once said that there's a type of frostfire mage who can master both ice and fire; they're actually quite powerful... They can use Dragon's Breath, Flamestrike, and Blizzard, and the combat feels incredibly satisfying... plus, the damage isn't low...
Since unlocking necromancy runes and learning frost magic, Lorraine had essentially given up on the idea of casting fire spells...
Necromantic runes seem to inherently suppress fire talents... Flipping through magic books, it's generally difficult to master opposing magical attributes simultaneously; only arcane mages, through energy conversion, might be able to unleash them concurrently...
If he could return to Undercity, he would definitely seek guidance from Lady Aegwynn on the fundamentals of magic... After experiencing so much, Lorraine realized that the so-called magic he had used before was almost entirely rote memorization, failing to grasp the essence and core of arcane magic at all...
Let's talk about it once everything is safe...
Confused thoughts and an uneasy state of mind prevented Lorraine from concentrating her power to draw upon the power of the Frost Eye...
Perhaps due to a lack of materials, a failure to understand the method, or perhaps because the true source of Frost Eye's power was injured and unable to respond... the first use of the Frost Eye skill did not produce the expected results...
Lorraine had initially thought that, as described in her initial perception, she could release icy winds to freeze the spreading black water...
The actual result was that not even a single ice flower was sprayed...
A ball of icy flame ignited in his right eye, the raging flames burning away Lorraine's magic. As the flames seared his eye socket, an intense chill coursed through his body, causing Lorraine to grimace in pain...
I almost fell to the ground from a great height...
A world of ice and fire...
The unrealized dream of becoming a Frostfire Mage never came true...
The first activation of the Frost Eye greatly depleted the necromantic power in the right rune eye. Lorraine clearly felt that hundreds of ordinary wraiths in the right rune eye prison had just been burned to death by the ice flames, and they were wailing in pain in his head... gradually dissipating unwillingly.
This forced Lorraine to use this power with caution.
The foolish idea of using the power of frost to freeze the black water must be shelved!
......
It was already dawn, and the first rays of sunlight on the 22nd shone on the shore... The beach and shallow waters outside the jade mine, ravaged overnight, were still so beautiful, shimmering with light and warmth...
But the black water at his feet... forced Lorraine to retreat again and again, until there was nowhere left to go...
He couldn't calm down and appreciate the sunrise...
The black water on the sea had already covered the entire area around Atonement Island... it would spread to the shore in less than a hundred meters... Lorraine felt the world sinking... she was falling involuntarily... Logically speaking, the Great Tomb of the Dead fell into the sea, but most of the main structure was stuck on the edge of Atonement Island, so it shouldn't have sunk further...
The sinking at this point is abnormal; it seems the entire island is sinking into the black water, and the part that's sinking into the black water is like sinking into another world...
Black water floated on the sea surface, rippling with the waves...
With numerous precedents to follow, Lorraine dared not enter the water. He wasn't sure if the black water was truly just a layer of oil... As far as the eye could see, no living creature was spared... Iron swords, armor, and shields initially floated on the surface, but eventually dissolved...
"Teleportation runes! I definitely need to buy them next time!"
This was Lorraine's advice to himself, a profound lesson learned in the face of life and death!
Just like levitation requires a casting material like feathers, teleportation spells also require runic markings to activate the coordinates of the teleportation destination...
"Flying mounts, flying mounts that can take off from water! Machines or vehicles that can operate uncontrollably and without interference—I need at least two... otherwise I'll be trapped in this deadly place..."
......
"Never entrust your life and safety to the wishful thinking of others..."
......
"Don't go to watch the excitement; it'll get you into big trouble..."
......
"Don't be a saint... A man has to be ruthless to himself... If you have no woman in your heart, you'll wield the sword with divine skill... Without desire, you are invincible... Never be soft-hearted towards your enemies..."
......
Following his teacher's habit, Lorraine began to summarize his experiences... He then recalled some phrases his teacher often repeated that he couldn't understand, and at this point, Lorraine had no other choice... He began to analyze why, despite his cautious nature, he had still found himself in this predicament...
......
The black water spread to his ankles, but Lorraine remained calm. He was simply observing his surroundings to see if anyone could discover his secret.
"It's all over..."
Lorraine looked around; in the sky, on the ground, in the water... there was no one else left, only the faceless avatar that devoured everything... the black water was released by the Void Demon itself, and it was the source.
The more the black water devours, the larger the area it covers, and the faster it moves...
This creature was formed from a fragment of the Bloodstone Egg, devouring the flesh and souls of countless beings. It is an evil being summoned by the Twilight's Hammer, though it is merely one of the countless avatars of the Old God... and not even in its complete or mature form...
The harm caused should not be underestimated.
This thing cannot exist in this world... If it is allowed to spread, devour, and grow unchecked, it might truly blot out the sky... devour the stars. At the very least, the nearby human kingdoms, including the living and the dead, animals and inanimate objects of Undercity, will be unable to escape it...
Everything returns to nothingness...
The apocalypse that the Twilight followers had hoped for has truly arrived... The liberation that the Old Gods longed for is now within reach...
The evil ritual succeeded, and ordinary mortals could not resist it... They were unaware of what terrible things were about to happen, just as ants were unaware that a group of naughty children were about to pour boiling water into their anthill.
......
To put it grandly, it's about saving the world!
Whether it's the novel or saving himself... Lorraine must make a final choice. He seems to have a sudden realization: what use is the Realm of Truth that he and his teacher painstakingly found...?
The fact that it has built-in X-rays and X-ray vision, allowing it to see through ordinary armor and clothing, isn't the key point...
That's not a pervert's toy...
That was a gift from the Creator...
The adoptive father told the teacher, "Go, find your body parts, and deal with those troublesome demigods and evil beings..."
You will receive the reward you deserve!
......
Lorraine and her teacher, Lorraine, awakened simultaneously... Without prior arrangement, their thoughts began to stir. Aside from the master and student, and a few other beings, their sunglasses slipped off their noses...
Lorraine extended a finger and adjusted the glasses: "[Mirror of Truth] Activate [Shadow Barrier]!"
"Eyes that transcend other realms, seeing through the past and the future..."
A gift from the Creator...
......
"Let's see who swallows whom?!"
