Outside the inherent barrier, the Beast King's Lair, above the altar on the mountainside, Elquet's eyes were golden red, his hands turned into sharp claws, his fangs were exposed, and his appearance was ferocious.
This was a sign that she was desperate and going all out. Not only because of Altluchi's repeated obstructions, but also because she felt that the barrier between this world and the outside world was broken, and a passage to the outside world, to a more distant place, was forming.
In this passage are the people he cares about most.
Once you go there, you can never come back - the White Princess almost went crazy after learning this information. This powerful emotional fluctuation not only made her ignore the call of the planet's will, but also continued to erode reality.
Of course, Artluchi, Stulut and Brad are not easy to deal with. Not only are they older than Elquet, they also have excellent coordination and support from the restraining force, which seriously limits Elquet's performance. Although he will not be defeated, it is extremely difficult for him to win and escape. It seems that the winner will not be determined until dawn.
On the other hand, the fight between the primate killer and Solomon was much more peaceful. Although their power levels were rising steadily, there was not much tension between them, and they even had time to chat while fighting (or clawing) each other.
"You don't seem to be in a hurry at all." The primate killer got on all fours to eliminate the impact of the recoil.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Solomon used magic to set up a cushion behind him, paused, and asked back.
"The situation is already very unfavorable to you. You can't defeat me, and your companions can't defeat Beast II. That strange little guy has been sent to a place that must not be touched. I don't know how many scavengers will be waiting for him. Aren't you worried at all?"
"Your understanding of humans is still too one-sided. If it were your original master, he would definitely not say such a thing."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because Merlin knows the nature of human beings very well. They are very contradictory creatures, a combination of rationality and sensibility, order and chaos. As a life form, humans have all kinds of problems, but they are also good at creating miracles, especially the brilliance that blooms in adversity."
"Just because of something so illusory?" The primate killer laughed and even stopped attacking.
"Of course." Solomon nodded seriously. "You might as well ask the consciousness of the planet, has she ever thought that one of the lives born from her body can generate a restraining force that can compete with her?"
"this... "
"Besides, I am not completely without basis. My eyesight may not be as good as Merlin's, but it can be useful sometimes. I saw the chain of miracles."
Solomon's gaze passed the primate killer and looked toward something farther away.
There, there was a pair of red-haired boy and girl, sweating profusely and working hard.
On the rooftop near the young girl, a burly old man with white hair and beard, who did not look old at all, twirled his cane.
The Asian woman with blue eyes twisted her hair, and the ends of her hair turned red and black at times.
The old man said softly, "It has begun."
The woman murmured in agreement, "Hmm. I wonder how far that brat can go."
"No matter how far you go, there are some things that cannot appear in this world."
"Then let's do as we agreed before. You go there and I'll keep an eye on this place."
"Don't make a big fuss, or it will be hard to deal with."
"It's not up to me to decide. It depends on how far Orange and the others can go."
"The dice has been cast, I hope it will be a six." The old man said, took a step forward, and his figure disappeared into thin air.
The woman waved her hand casually. "Don't worry. Magicians have always had good luck in this regard. If you weren't lucky, you wouldn't have become a magician, let alone survived until now under the hindrance of the restraining force. However, I still hope that Orange can become a magician. It will be more interesting."
...
At the same time when Kotomine Kirei opened the inherent barrier, the Beast King's Nest, new changes occurred where Matou Shinji and Araya Soren were.
At that time, Shinji was using his half-baked magic to interfere with Araya Souren's soul, to see if he could make this guy's soul fly to pieces and relieve his hatred.
However, after trying a few methods, a hole appeared again in the closed space, exactly the same hole as when he fell into this space.
Shinji was surprised and happy, thinking that he could finally go out.
But before he took two steps, he stopped again. Because he felt that the feeling coming from the hole was not right. It was not the atmosphere of the present world, but a deeper, higher-level, and indescribable wonderful feeling that he had never encountered before.
"Araya, what is that place?"
"That is the 'root'; my long-cherished wish, my lifelong pursuit!"
Araya's voice was filled with enthusiasm, desperate enthusiasm. His whole heart and soul were attracted by the "hole" behind it, and all the previous experiences and the hatred between him and Shinji were thrown out of his mind.
This desire, this pursuit, this obsession of more than two hundred years transcended the limitations of the flesh, the limits of life, and even Shinji's magical constraints, and without hesitation, he crashed into the door leading to the "root".
"Hey!" Shinji stared at his hands in a daze.
Even though it was only half-baked, it was still magic. How could it be broken apart by brute force? Was the attraction of the "root" that strong
Jiang Xin and Jiang Yi raised their heads and took a curious look at the scenery behind the hole.
Just one glance, just one glance, and I couldn't take my eyes away.
What did he see? Shinji couldn't say. He just felt that his sea of consciousness, his memories, his perception, his deepest soul, were like a Big Ivan, blowing everything upside down, but they didn't break into pieces, and they could still maintain their original structure.
And this is just the beginning. After the explosion, Shinji felt that there was something more in his soul.
Some of them are things that I can understand, such as the knowledge and meaning of runes, the various difficulties in martial arts, and the various incomprehensible confusions on the road of studying magic.
But there are more things that are hard to understand, things that I have never even heard of or thought about.
He instinctively wanted to reject those things, but found that he couldn't do so because the information pouring into his soul was too huge, so huge that Shinji couldn't digest, categorize, or handle it.
The boy who was stunned by the "explosion" could only passively accept it, and continue to accept it.
Unconsciously, his body leaned forward involuntarily and his feet moved naturally.
Just like that, he walked into the "hole" leading to the outside world, walked towards the door connecting to the "root", and embarked on the ultimate path that countless magicians dream of.
