As the soul box clicked into place in the center of the technique, William turned back and looked at Nezemar and the others.

"Although there are still many problems, if I follow Furaro to another period of history, I will leave it to you to handle the matters in Jade Province. Protect this place, as mentioned before, the time limit is three days

, no matter what happens at that time, this spell must be stopped so that Furaluo's soul can return to the soul box."

William gave his final instructions.

Although he left the means of transmitting coordinates and communication, he was not sure whether the information between different timelines could be synchronized by then - most likely it would not be possible, so he set up a plan for himself to go to the other side.

specific time.

In three days, no matter whether you succeed or not, you will have to return to this side.

Everyone nodded, with a sense of helplessness in their expressions.

After all, the presiding judge had repeated these things to them many times on the way here.

In this regard, William himself was not impatient at all. After asking them to repeat his previous instructions, he felt a little relieved.

There should be no problem. After all, Remedios will arrive in Holy Tree City soon. With her in charge, even if she leaves for three days, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Thinking of this, he turned his eyes to Furaro, who was already lying on the altar. The latter nodded to him, indicating that he was ready.

So, William activated the technique.

The mechanisms on the soul box rotated layer by layer, and the runes engraved on it suddenly burst out with dazzling light, and then quickly dimmed. The ancient box was slowly opened with a dangerous sound, and a cloud of frost and mist mixed with it appeared.

Something with miasma poured out from it and quickly took shape in mid-air, forming a figure that resembled a lake.

If the soul that has left the soul box is allowed to be exposed to the outside world for a long time, it will quickly undergo changes similar to "rot", eventually losing self-awareness and turning into ghosts and evil spirits driven by memory and instinct. Therefore, in the soul box

The moment it was opened, the spell that William had previously engraved on the altar was immediately activated. A strong attraction firmly pulled it to the altar, and then let it seep into it bit by bit.

Since the tree spirit had been temporarily invited into the soul storage crystal by William before, the altar that now connects the core of the entire sub-tree has naturally become an empty container, enough to carry Furaluo's powerful soul.

The spell I had previously engraved on it was nothing more than an interface that could provide "false authorization".

Forcing the soul of the deceased into the corpse to awaken the deceased is an introductory skill in necromancy - if you don't consider the "wear and tear" caused by the mismatch between the two, it is just destined to burn up.

of fireworks to use.

The advanced skills are how to maintain a delicate balance between the two like adjusting a clock, and use the deceased as a servant that can exist for a long time. Going further, it is designed to convert the lich and infuse the soul with it.

It is a technique of inserting objects into objects so that they can be preserved for a long time.

Soul box, also known as phylactery.

The sub-tree under William's feet is a huge soul box.

Generally speaking, the phylactery will have a powerful defense mechanism, which is extremely difficult to destroy and invade. However, with the help of William's spell, Furaluo's soul with the strength of the divine realm quickly occupied the magpie's nest and integrated into it.

.

The split soul composed of emerald green light spots quickly took shape in front of William, taking the form of Furaro.

"Lord Judge, I seem to have succeeded?"

she asked, looking at her arms.

"It's not considered a success if you're still here. Try catching the shadow of the tree spirit's dream before and fall asleep."

William replied.

Floral's ghost nodded and disappeared before his eyes, and then all William could do was wait.

No matter what, it's just a hypothesis. Whether two people go to another timeline together, or only one of them gets there, or in the worst case scenario, they can't go to another timeline at all... What will happen in the end?

Completely unknown.

But if it succeeds, he will indeed be very curious about what the experience of jumping in the timeline is like.

William stared at Furaro lying on the altar, waiting for when the other person would switch to another timeline, the one that had begun to decay.

Then, after waiting for almost two hours, he became impatient.

To be honest, he somewhat admired his patience.

So, is it a failure?

This question lingered in the hearts of everyone present, but no one asked it. Instead, it turned into some kind of strange invisible pressure, making this relatively broad canopy temple gradually become oppressive.

William looked at Frollo, who was still lying on the altar, and wondered if he should wake her up.

"Master Judge...should we avoid it?"

Perhaps seeing William's gradually gloomy face, Nezemar finally asked cautiously.

"No, you guys..."

William waved his hand, but suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

The idea of ​​a model lake came to his mind.

"Close your eyes and don't make any sound."

William said.

"What?"

"Just do it."

As he spoke, he closed his eyes and at the same time released the detection spell that was usually on.

After a few seconds, only a dark silence remained in the entire canopy temple.

William silently counted his heartbeats, and when it reached about one hundred and twenty, he opened his eyes again.

The entire temple was empty, and he was the only one left.

"When you don't look at this flower, this flower will die together with you."

Snapping his fingers in a frivolous manner that was very inconsistent with his personality, William whispered a sentence he liked very much.

Then, he slowly walked to the edge of the temple and opened the door.

It was already night, and outside the door, a green color reminiscent of vomit and a pink color reminiscent of cancer stained the entire night sky.

The moon curled up in a corner of the sky like a pale, deformed stillbirth, smearing the moonlight over the entire Ravenwood forest, making the land look as sickly as if it was infected with stubborn ringworm.

"Treading on the Stars"

The station has arrived.

he thinks.

…………

Because the presiding judge did not say when they would be able to open their eyes, Nezemar and the others waited for a long time. It was not until uneasiness and curiosity took up half of the thoughts in her mind at a ratio of one to one that she asked tentatively.

road:

"Lord William?"

No one replied to her question, so she asked again.

After waiting for a long time, she slowly opened her eyes with trembling eyelids.

There is no trace of William Kane in the Canopy Temple, as if he has never been here.

…………

When going downstairs, William met several "aboriginal people" here. The flesh and blood on one's chest had almost rotted away, and the exposed ribs looked like a stomach made of some special material; the other's part above the eyebrows had been shaved off.

, his eyes were spinning like billiard balls in a cup.

Both of them nodded politely to William - which made him sweat for the latter, for fear that the eyeballs in his eyes would roll out.

William also nodded slightly and saluted, and then turned to the guy with protruding ribs and asked where his Duke of the Holy Tree was at the moment.

"You actually don't know?!"

Unexpectedly, when William asked this question, the other party was completely surprised.

"Should I know?"

William asked calmly.

"I saw that you just came out of the Canopy Temple, and I thought you were also praying for the Duke...

"It's like this. The Duke previously spoke in front of the World Tree, announcing that he had conducted a joint operation with the Empire and successfully captured the disobedient people hiding in the underground roots. He planned to publicly execute them all...

"But in the middle of speaking, she suddenly fell to the ground without warning, fainted, and completely lost her vital signs. Now the entire Bone White House is in chaos, and the forest druids of the Oak Council are calling for

We went to various tree canopy sanctuaries to pray to the Holy Tree Mother for the Duke."

After thanking the two of them, well, at least they felt that they were human beings... Anyway, after thanking them, William quickened his pace.

Although he was curious about how these undead people confirmed the so-called "vital signs", at this moment he had a rough grasp of the situation on Furaro's side.

He has to go over and quickly join up with the other party, and then work together to find and destroy the flaw hidden by the Hungry Lady here within three days.

If possible, completely destroy this timeline.

Thinking of this, William used [Eagle Eye Technique] to look at the World Tree in the center of the city.

Then he couldn't help but open his mouth slightly, and the curse words almost came out.

In this timeline, the so-called "World Tree" looks like a pregnant woman crawling with countless maggots and covered with colorful fungi.

A female appearance like a mountain.

It is the ultimate enlarged version of the void incarnation of the Hungry Lady he defeated in the past.
Chapter completed!
