Master Bella, who was about to launch an attack, opened her mouth and stood there stiffly. She never expected that there would be any magic that could penetrate her many layers of shields and give her a fatal blow when she was fully prepared.
This is not only because the Soul Thorn is a holy weapon, but also a Soul-Destroying Arrow improved by Master Kona, a spiritual magic with enhanced penetration, and most of Bella's shields are prepared for elemental damage and physical damage. If it were Master Gordon who is good at elemental magic, even if he had a holy weapon of the same level as the Soul Thorn, he would probably not be able to break through Bella's defense.
But no matter what, Xiao Chen and Kona's simple little plan succeeded. The magician in the layers of shields would be greatly weakened in sensing magic fluctuations, not to mention that in such a small space, everyone had large and small magic fluctuations, so it was not easy to find the attacker hidden in the crowd.
Xiao Chen picked up the Soul Thorn that had fallen to the ground, and while enduring the severe pain and dizziness as Master Kona's soul reentered his meditation space, he shouted, "Kill them!"
Without his command, the attacks of many of his own mages had already gathered into a torrent of magic and rushed towards the team led by Ature. Xiao Chen was drowsy and vaguely saw that under the cover of magic, the golem Gama led a group of ghost warriors to launch a charge. And he himself was hugged by a soft body: "Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen, how are you? Elena. Come and see what's going on?"
"He overdrew his mental strength, and then Master Kona returned to the meditation space and shook his meditation space."
"But if he falls unconscious, we won't be able to hold on for long. Ah! Elena, your body has become transparent."
"Oh no, we will be forced to return to space as well."
"Xiao Chen! You have to hold on! Xiao Chen!"
The return of Elena and Tasia was the last straw that broke the camel's back, and Xiao Chen fainted completely this time.
————————
"Xiao Chen! Xiao Chen!" Xiao Chen opened his eyes, looking a little confused. But the voice in his ears made him more alert. This voice must be Luo Ling. He opened his eyes and saw a modern ceiling lamp.
"This is..." He turned his head to look to the side, and saw Luo Ling kneeling on the bed in a suspender pajamas, looking at him with some worry.
"So, it's you." Luo Ling showed some embarrassment on her face. She grabbed the silk nightgown on the bedside and put it on. Xiao Chen looked at her in the light and her face seemed to be very red.
"It seems... it seems that your relationship has progressed to a certain extent." Xiao Chen touched his nose and said, "Should I say congratulations?"
"Stop talking nonsense and put on your clothes." After saying this, Luo Ling got out of bed and walked out of the room.
Xiao Chen touched his body and found that he was only wearing a pair of shorts. He couldn't help but wonder if this hadn't started yet, or had it already ended
The two were in the living room, Xiao Chen drank a drink and briefly described the situation over there.
"So, you didn't come here through meditation this time?" Luo Ling sat on the sofa, hugging a pillow. After listening to Xiao Chen's story, she immediately grasped the key to the problem.
"Yes. I was unconscious. Forcibly accepting Master Kona's soul seemed to have exhausted my mental energy, and the meditation space was also greatly shaken. I don't know how I got here. The previous times I traveled through time and space, I spent a lot of effort to succeed. This time I came here so easily, I think it doesn't make sense." Xiao Chen said.
The two of them pondered for a while, and Luo Ling said, "I do have an idea. In fact, he, that is, you here, seems to have started to connect with you. He said that he often feels some vague images in his dreams, such as huge trees, or mysterious towers, and some images of alien races, such as elves and dwarves, and there are many battle scenes."
"From your description, it is very likely that what he saw was real. It should be some of the scenes I saw when I visited the Elf Kingdom and in the Royal Capital."
"So, maybe... you are already connected in some way that transcends the world." Luo Ling said, "I even dreamed of the collapse of the tower recently."
"This... Did you see the destruction of the Tower of Shining Wings?"
Luo Ling waved to the bookshelf in the living room, and a sketchbook flew into her hand. "Look, this is what I drew based on my dream."
Xiao Chen took a look and saw that it was a pencil drawing of a tall tower that was collapsing and two figures flying out of the tower. This was very consistent with the scene described by Luo Ling in that world that night.
"You mean, our consciousness is actually connected to our self in another world?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Not everyone, just you and me. Maybe this requires a lot of conditions, and you, who have the heart of a traveler, happen to meet all of them."
"So how do you want to explain what happened today?"
Luo Ling tilted her head slightly, as if thinking: "If the two sides of your body are compared to two houses, there was no passage between the houses, so naturally there was no communication. But now there is a road connecting them, and you have come to visit several times. So if one day your house is hit by a disaster and cannot be lived in temporarily, what would you think?"
Xiao Chen asked, "How about staying in a good house on the other side?"
"Yes! I think your meditation world was damaged. Originally, you might have fallen into a real coma, but now your consciousness has another choice, so you traveled through time."
Xiao Chen nodded. Luo Ling's guess was not unreasonable and seemed to contain some very important information.
"Also, I asked this question last time. If you came here, where did he go?"
"It's not over there. The people over there said that I seemed to be asleep. There was definitely no one to replace me and let me move. This is not a story about soul swapping." Xiao Chen said, "Maybe he was suppressed by me in a corner of my mind?"
"Have you ever thought about another possibility..." Luo Ling showed an inquiring look on her face, "Could it be that you and he have merged into one, but this consciousness is dominated by you, and his memory has just been temporarily forgotten in a corner?"
"Why do you have such a strange idea?"
"If someone invaded your head in that world, for example, like taking over someone else's body as described in novels. Would you not know it?" Luo Ling made a hypothesis.
"How is this possible? I am a very powerful magician after all, and I am very sensitive to mental power." Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed, "You mean, if he is here, I can already sense his presence? Hmm... that makes sense."
"So, this is a very simple logical inference. Since he is not there, and your mental power is so strong, but you can't sense him here, then the most likely answer is: You are him!"
