It was a transparent crimson crystal, very similar to the magic core in the labyrinth ruins, and it was also a vertical spindle. It's just a lot smaller, only about half the height of a person.
But when Elena got into the secret room, she found that its back had changed shape, from a soft and smooth arc to a sharp right angle. If you look down from the top of the relic, it looks like a quarter corner of a circle cut in equal parts by a cross.
Like the magic core, it is suspended in mid-air without any reliance, and this alone is enough to prove its extraordinaryness.
Is this thing that determines the fate of mankind
While Elena was full of doubts, there was also a surge of resentment against the gods.
According to Pasha, no one knows how it appeared in front of everyone. From the moment it appeared, it was firmly connected to the fate of mankind. If it is lost, all witches and mortals will die in an instant. In order to protect the heritage, countless people fought bloody battles and died on the battlefield against the devil. But the gods never gave them any instructions, as if they were just silently admiring all this until the final winner was born.
This kind of trick is simply disgusting.
"Are you ready?" Zoe asked, "Don't let your spirits go when carrying the relic, and don't try to connect with the gods. Remember how Pasha told us?"
"Don't worry, I remember." Elena nodded, "How about I count three?"
The other party made a "success" gesture.
"Three, two, one..." The two of them held the relic at the same time and walked out slowly. It can obviously float in the air by itself, but it is not as light as a goose feather. When Elena touched it, she felt her arm sink for no reason. Even the body of the God's Punishment Army felt extremely tired.
If it wasn't for Pasha's warning, she would have thought that she had returned to the consciousness that she had lost for hundreds of years.
This "feeling of effort" is spiritual.
Relic is trying to connect with them.
Elena shook her head. She was going to throw the distracting thoughts out of her mind, but she suddenly thought that she couldn't let her mind go. Since that's the case, she has to think wildly.
Can you think of what is better? Men... or food... or soft beds
"You want to feel." A voice suddenly entered her mind. "Comfortable, joyful, painful, cold, hot, and I can give you that. Relax and take a good look at me..."
what to see? No, not right! Elena's eyes widened, who is talking? Is it the relic itself
She turned her head to look at Zooey, but found that the other person's eyes had lost their lustre, like a body without a soul.
Damn, what the hell is going on here? Pasha never said that such an accident would happen!
"Don't worry, she just followed her innermost thoughts and integrated into me."
Let her out now!
"I can't do it, or you can come in and take her out..." The voice gradually changed, from the hoarse voice at the beginning to a soft female voice, Elena couldn't even tell whether it was the relic talking to her. , or she is talking to herself.
take her out
For a moment, Pasha's advice flashed through her mind.
"Don't connect with the gods."
But she couldn't just watch Zooey dissipate, the body that completely lost her soul couldn't maintain its activity for long, she had to pull Zooey back!
Just look at the relics
Elena took a deep breath and stared at the crimson crystal.
The latter's outline distorted, and then a darkness enveloped her. When her vision returned to normal, she found that the world around her had completely changed.
It was an indescribably empty hall, infinitely high and infinitely far. The dome was a deep starry sky and a huge red moon. The magic power on the surface of the red moon was like boiling lava. Four giant paintings quietly fell, surrounding her in the center.
Whether it is the main hall, the red moon or the picture scroll, they all give people a sense of grandeur. Although Pasha had mentioned such an incredible sight, it was the first time Elena had seen it with her own eyes.
"Zoe! Where are you?" she yelled.
But no one answered her.
Apart from the picture scroll, there is nothing in the hall.
She forced herself to calm down and cast her eyes on the scroll.
However, after just one look, Elena felt a cold sweat coming out of her back, and someone in the painting was also watching her!
One of them was a devil in fine armor, whose pupils flashed a terrifying red light, and stood up from the throne and walked towards her step by step.
The other painting is a huge eyeball. The chilling thing is that there is not only one pupil in the eyeball, but several pupils bloom at the same time, arranged in a triangle, and each one is like a big mouth that chooses someone to bite. .
She couldn't help but take two steps back, cheering herself up, this is just a moving picture, nothing to be afraid of.
However, this thought only lasted for less than a breath.
I saw six or seven black tentacles suddenly stretched out from the two scrolls, and the tip of each tentacle rushed towards her, and there was a small palm!
Before Elena could react, she was caught!
The tentacles dragged her back and forth, not giving in to each other, seeming to treat her as a rare trophy, and Elena, who was hanging in the middle of the two paintings, felt like her body was about to be torn apart, and the unbearable pain made her scream. speak out.
Wait... Pain
Only then did she realize that she had returned to the appearance of a witch.
Unexpectedly, the last experience before dying was actually being pulled in half. Elena felt the pain constantly hitting her mind, and her consciousness became blurred. dead.
However, the scene in the third painting seems to be somewhat different.
She saw that the body of the God's Punishment Army she had picked fell to the ground, and Zooey was dragging her towards the secret door...
What's going on, isn't she integrated into the relic at all
Just at this moment, the hall suddenly collapsed, the red moon, the picture scroll and the tentacles all disappeared without a trace, and the long-lost pain was also interrupted... Elena blinked and noticed that she was back again. in the library.
"This is... a dream?"
"What dream? You're really mad at me," Zoe gritted her teeth. "What did Pasha tell you before? Don't connect with the gods! I emphasized it to you at the beginning!"
"But I see you lose your mind..."
"I also saw that you were swallowed up by the relic!" she interrupted angrily, "that's just an illusion created by the gods! If I hadn't dragged you out of the room, I'm afraid you'd be trapped in it forever. "
Elena couldn't help thinking of the devil and the giant eyes in the huge scroll, as well as those tentacles that were real... Are they all illusions created by the gods? She felt that something was wrong in her heart. Pasha hadn't really touched the relic, and it was normal that she never mentioned it, but she felt everything in the relic firsthand. That is not a fantasy at all, and it has nothing to do with the gods. The moment she noticed the person in the painting, the person in the painting also noticed her.
"What's next?" Betty interjected.
"Come with me another person," Zooey gave Elena a last glance, "The prayer room has been broken, we have to transfer the relics into the sacred stone box as soon as possible, otherwise the all-pervasive evil beasts should come to the burrows. found us."
