Chapter 24 The Curse of the Water of Life
The night is quiet and the breeze is blowing.
The suburbs of the city are divided into farmhouses and wheat fields in standard symmetrical shapes, covered with white gauze intertwined with the silver moon and holy mist.
Ryze held the Rune Book tightly in his arms and ran panting under the moonlit night, looking back in horror from time to time at the dark and silent curtain of darkness.
The next second, a white figure suddenly emerged from the originally empty wilderness.
It floats in mid-air, its legs are completely hidden in nothingness and does not touch the ground. The entire ethereal body is translucent and wrapped in a robe.
Ryze couldn't see the traces of facial features on its smooth, blank face. It was a ghost, a ghost wandering the world, remnants from the past... and the curse of the water of life.
The ghost's empty face was pointed directly at the magic apprentice who was exposed to arcane runes for the first time.
Ryze could imagine that if it had eyes and mouth expressions, it would definitely raise the corners of its mouth in horror and stare at him with a deathly look.
After bypassing several luxurious farmhouses with carved beams and painted beams, the ghost was still in pursuit.
"I feel the sand in my hands, I feel the sand in my hands!"
Twisting his body in pain, he hit the rune barrier several times but was unable to break free. The ghost was quickly completely annihilated by the consumption of magic power, leaving only nothingness in the narrow space of the dissipated rune barrier.
…
Even if he is gifted with arcane magic, Josh is still a mortal man of flesh and blood and needs to sleep to regain his energy.
Then, as if he had lost all strength, he knelt down and collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, and his whole body was shaking. He couldn't even lift the classics in his arms and dropped them to the ground.
However, just a moment after he fell asleep, Lunessia woke him up again: "Something's wrong... Josh, wake up!"
Raising his hand, another overloaded magic blast dispersed a group of ghosts that tried to dodge, but failed to do so.
However, Lunessia did not give him a chance to lose her temper, and warned seriously: [I feel the intertwined breath of life and death, they are nearby!]
The moment the arcane rune was released, its illusory figure had dissipated, as if it had escaped from the realm of reality.
In the past, he could just rely on his talent to pry open some rune locks.
In the evening, Ahri took the initiative to start a "war" and played with Josh in the water, and his clothes were basically soaked.
More than a minute had passed since the last arcane energy fluctuation, and the dark dirt road leading to Hylia once again erupted with the light of arcane magic, illuminating a familiar figure.
"curse……"
"What is this?"
Walking dejectedly through the intricately designed village streets of complex triangles and rhombuses, his hurried figure merged back into the night.
Sitting on the ground, in shock, Ruiz licked his chapped lips and said with blank eyes: "The curse from...the water of life."
Recommend a fine book on cultivating immortality:
Recalling his research on arcane runes in just a few days, Ryze suddenly opened his eyes that shone with purple-blue arcane light, and his body exuded a magical light.
"Damn, damn!"
[Is that true?] Runesia murmured to herself like a Riddler.
The overloaded energy ball hit the wall of a pen, and the exploding magic light blasted out a smooth hole. The cattle and sheep inside screamed in fear, and the shepherd dogs guarding the herd rushed out of the fence and barked at the corner of the street.
Lin Xiao, who is dedicated to cultivating immortals and does not want to get involved in the entangled circles of the divine court, can only seal himself into the Lingbao Universe Sun and Moon Pot.
Immediately afterwards, two more ghosts turned to Josh with blank faces, as if they had seen some rare delicacies, they greedily opened their teeth and claws, and floated towards Josh at high speed without making any sound.
Ryze, who was almost pierced by it, rolled down to avoid the sudden attack and cursed in a vented manner.
Josh just got up from the bed, and before he could even finish the question, there was a slight rancid taste of metal in his mouth, and he felt the resonance of the rune magic.
Traveling to a world ruled by Shinto, it was only a few hundred years ago that the Divine Court swept across the world.
"What the hell!"
Although afterward, Ahri felt ashamed that her behavior was a bit childish, but she had no worries or restraints when she could play with Josh, who understood her and was willing to accompany her in her madness.
Arcane magic boiled like a furnace fire, blue and purple lights shone one by one, and complex and mysterious wedge-shaped runes were engraved on Josh's skin from the inside to the outside, preparing to cast spells in advance.
In this way, until the sun melted into the holy mist and the temperature dropped completely, the two of them returned to the house, each occupied a separate bathroom, and soaked in the hot spring purified by magic.
"Ritz?!"
…
Ryze never thought that one day he would be able to release such amazingly powerful magic.
Following the meditation method originally taught by Tyrus, Ryze closed his eyes, chanted, and replayed in his mind the immersive meditation scene he had been guided by his master.
After spending so many days together, he had never seen Lunessia look so serious.
Life and death are intertwined, could it be a curse of ruin?
Ryze was still thinking wildly in his mind. The next moment, the ghost raised his skinny fingers filled with green light and pointed at Ryze, and his figure suddenly sped up.
The energy convergence materialized, and Josh threw a ball of arcane energy, which exploded into a ghost that was trying to sneak attack Ryze from behind.
On the other side, Josh's mansion.
However, the ghost was aware of the danger as early as Ryze cast his magic.
But there was no time to think too much, as more than 20 households in the entire village were awakened by the news just now.
Finally, she has people of the same age as friends. Ari has been suppressed since she was a child, and her belated "child nature" is finally completely released, and she can experience the joy of getting along with good friends.
The skinny claws of another ghost that was close at hand were about to catch Josh, but his hands were blocked by a translucent barrier, splashing with a burst of bright runic light.
At the same time, he asked sharply: "How did you get into trouble with these things?!"
Good friends should be happy, open up to each other, and express their feelings, so why should they hide their true selves?
When he was within a few dozen steps of Ritz, Josh suddenly discovered that those chasing Ritz and forcing him to use magic were actually several faceless white ghosts.
At this moment, Ryze also threw a ball of arcane energy and hit the last faceless ghost.
Ruiz cursed secretly, not daring to stay here any longer.
The night was dark, and another beautiful day came to an end. Josh put on his pajamas and fell asleep.
Ryze glanced at his right hand with the purple light receding in surprise. This was the first time he had truly released rune magic.
I had a nightmare yesterday and couldn't sleep well. I just closed my eyes for an unknown amount of time today, and I was still tired and woke up again. Josh, who was not angry to get up, suddenly felt a little angry.
The light of the holy stone penetrated the cracks in the windows and doors, and someone had already come out of the house to check the situation.
It shouldn’t be. It’s clear that Kalista has not returned to Kamavia, and the Water of Life has not even sent news back. How could Foego enter Blessed Island?
"What the hell happened...huh?!"
The anger that emerged quickly subsided, and Josh was slightly stunned.
Josh quickly trotted to Ritz, glanced at the books on the ground, and then looked around vigilantly, always on guard to prevent the ghost from appearing again.
When the ghost was only a few steps away from him, he raised his hand and drew a purple overload rune.
The fear in my heart reached its extreme, gradually turning into a volcanic eruption of rage.
Arcane energy burst out, and the purple energy group rushed forward at a speed far exceeding the ghost's sprint, leaving a series of dense rune traces in the air.
With the blessing of the runes, his running speed skyrocketed.
Immediately afterwards, when the ghost turned around again and planned to charge, Ryze took a deep breath, and part of the magic essence in the air was drawn into his body with his breath.
Putting on his short boots in a hurry, without even having time to change his clothes, Josh rushed out of the front door of the house, squinting at the source of the magic and looking into the distance.
The white translucent body was affected by the overloaded magic explosion and turned into mist-like smoke and particles. In the blink of an eye, a ghost disappeared like evaporation.
Josh drew in the magic power and first used magic guidance to temporarily seal the arcane energy in his blood.
[Instead of asking me this, you might as well ask your junior brother later how he provoked them.] Lunessia has no idea of answering Josh's question for the time being.
After taking a shower, Ahri temporarily put on Josh's clothes, chatted happily, and waited for him to use magic to dry his clothes before saying goodbye reluctantly.
Open a cave in the pot and refine the sun and moon. If you can't cultivate to become a heavenly immortal, I will become an earthly immortal. The gods will combine with the cave to transform heaven and earth.
From time to time, hold a Dharma conference, host a peach banquet, and scatter some chance treasures.
No matter how many thousands of years the Divine Court has been under your control, I am free and easy in the pot watching the rise and fall of the Divine Court.
