Chapter 66: The aftermath of death

Views:

"Gu..."

In the meditation room, Felix groaned, hugged his stomach and covered his nose, the bright red nosebleed kept flowing out, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

A feeling of death filling my belly.

It was not pain, but emptiness.

It was as if a gap suddenly appeared between his upper and lower body. Even if he held his stomach, it felt like he was holding a piece of pork, and he had no sense of touching his body at all.

This is the aftermath of death in the virtual realm—the soul is severely damaged and even loses the sense of reality.

With a faint wailing sound, the ruby on Felix's necklace shattered, and a single-winged spirit made of light dissipated in the air.

This is the weapon spirit 'Dragon Belly Scale', which has the effect of transferring all fatal damage suffered by the virtual realm to the abdomen. It is also the secret of the Vosloda family's continued prosperity.

When a magician dies in the virtual world, the damage from the fatal blow will be fed back to the soul, causing a loss of soul energy.

An incomplete soul cannot pass through the Gate of Truth, so before the soul energy is restored, the magician naturally cannot enter the virtual realm.

The soul is closely related to the body. No matter which part of the soul energy is missing, the magician will suffer from temporary "soul disability".

In simple terms, if the chest soul is injured, the heart will maintain a low frequency beat for a long time, and the magician will not be able to perform any movements;

If the soul of a limb is injured, the sorcerer may not be able to control the limb;

If the soul in the head is injured, the sorcerer will fall into a coma directly.

Not until the soul energy is restored will the magician's limb functions return to normal.

Therefore, the seemingly easy goal of sailing thousands of miles in the sea of knowledge is a horizon that can never be reached for many magicians. Not all magicians can leave their jobs to practice. Life is not just about the distance, but they also have to take into account the present. Every death in the virtual realm will cause great losses to the magician.

Although death is inevitable and the damage to the soul is inevitable, the magicians still think of many ways to minimize the losses.

For example, every fatal injury is fixed on an unimportant part of the body.

'Dragon Belly Scale' is a secret miracle of the Vosloda family. The family magician extracts the miracle effect and inserts it into the gem through complex rituals to form a temporary 'vessel spirit'. When the family magician dies in the virtual world, the 'vessel spirit' in the gem will be activated and all the death damage will be transferred to the abdomen.

Apart from the fact that the gastrointestinal digestive capacity has been greatly reduced and that one has to eat liquid food for a few days, the magician has to pay almost no price.

In addition, the Vosloda family has a miracle trick called "Dragon Dinner", which can quickly restore the soul energy in the abdomen through eating, thereby reducing the cooldown time for entering the virtual world.

Through these two miracles, the magicians of the Vosloda family can almost reduce the losses of deaths in the virtual realm to the minimum, greatly improve the efficiency of virtual realm exploration, and greatly increase the probability of the appearance of golden two-wing magicians and holy three-wing magicians. This is the foundation of Vosloda's prosperity for hundreds of years.

Several other ducal families also have similar methods. An excellent magician training system is almost standard for a century-old aristocracy. Otherwise, a lack of talent is enough to ruin a once glorious star aristocracy.

In front of the virtual world, all magicians are equal, but some magicians can strive for more equality.

However, reducing the cost of death is already the limit, and what should be lost will still be lost.

Felix looked inward at his own magic spirit, and suddenly his eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

The magic spirit of the 'Killing Sword' is lost!

When a magician dies in the virtual world, there is a high probability that he will lose his magic spirit. This is because the magic spirit is hidden in the soul. When a part of the soul energy is lost due to death, this part may include a magic spirit and be thrown out along the way.

The more magic spirits there are, the greater the chance of losing, and the greater the amount lost!

Even though Felix was mentally prepared to lose his magic spirit, he didn't expect to lose his most important 'Sword of Killing' the first time he died!

That was the relic his mother left him, one of the legendary 'Twenty-one Spirits of the Secret Sword'!

It is almost impossible to buy a magic spirit of this level. Even if it can be bought, Felix, an unpopular noble young master, cannot afford it!

Moreover, he has not yet fully mastered the knowledge of the 'Killing Sword', which means that he cannot summon the 'Killing Sword' by himself!

What comforted Felix a little was that his silver wings were already half condensed, which shortened his training time by more than a year.

He also didn't expect that he would encounter the natural wonder "vortex" just a few days after entering the virtual world.

No magician would miss such an opportunity, let alone a power-hungry avenger like Felix. However, after stepping into the vortex and traveling thousands of miles, what appeared before Felix was a growing fish-slaying dragon!

In the biological encyclopedia, the Ichthyosaur is considered to be one of the stronger ones, not to mention that it is a growing Ichthyosaur!

Knowledge creatures are divided into multiple stages, including infancy, growth, maturity, and complete form. In the outer waters of the Sea of Knowledge, basically only the infancy stage will appear, while the growth stage will appear in the inner waters. There is a chance that the maturity stage will appear in the core waters. As for the complete form, it will not appear in the Sea of Knowledge.

Knowing that he would die, Felix tried his best to kill the fish-chopping dragon first. But in the end, he had too few magic spirits and insufficient means. After inflicting heavy damage to the fish-chopping dragon, Felix died of hatred at the sharp tail of the fish-chopping dragon.

"I lost the sword of killing intent and condensed half of the silver wings..."

Felix sighed, unable to tell whether he had made a profit or a loss.

Magical power is naturally extremely important to a magician, but the Sword of Killing Intent is a crucial life-saving straw for his current situation - if it were not for the assistance of the Sword of Killing Intent, he would not have been able to avoid multiple assassinations.

"But this way, I can also inherit more of my mother's inheritance."

Felix's face was gloomy and he clenched his fists. "Just wait, Bessel. One day, I will make you kneel down and admit your mistakes to your mother..."

Because of her weak body and not moving all night, her chest felt a little uncomfortable and it was difficult to breathe steadily. Since she was the only one in the meditation room, she untied her chest wrap, and her two big white rabbits suddenly jumped out to breathe free air. She also completely relaxed and rested against the wall for a long time.

Half an hour later, Felix got dressed, left the meditation building, and stepped into the sunlight cast by Yaoxing.

But after all, he had just experienced his first death. As Felix was walking, he felt that he suddenly lost control of his lower body. He staggered and was about to fall, so he quickly used the sword bag to support his body.

"Heh, why is Master Vosiloda in a bad mood so early in the morning and getting angry at the ground?"

A hand reached out from behind and pressed Felix's shoulder to help steady his body.

Felix looked back and said calmly, "You seem to be in a good mood. Did you have a good harvest?"

Sonia walked past him with a refreshed look and raised her eyebrows: "I guess so. You'll know in Professor Trozan's office this afternoon."

The villain succeeds.

Although Sonia's talent for swordsmanship was indeed one in a million, Felix also saw her character flaws: vanity, inferiority complex, arrogance, cleverness but no wisdom... If she didn't have the talent for swordsmanship, Sonia would be no different from those mediocre female magicians he had seen.

And now, she is at most a mediocre village girl with a talent for swordsmanship.

This is really... enviable.

Others might think that Felix was also a swordsmanship genius, but he knew very well that if it weren't for the help of the 'emotional' spirit left by his mother, he would never have been able to practice the wave stance to the level of summoning spirits so quickly.

He paid a high price for this - at that time, he had no magical power, so if he wanted to activate the magic of 'love', he could only stimulate the resonance of the magic spirit by constantly changing girlfriends, so that he became notorious and almost became the shame of Vosloda.

But things are different now.

After passing through the whirlpool, Sonia had been left far behind by him and was not qualified to be his competitor at all.

His target should be the orange dancer Leonie and the monsters in the University of Truth—

"Um?"

Felix suddenly felt a familiar flow.

He looked up and found that many students were secretly looking at Sonia.

The news that Leone was "defeated" by Sonia spread throughout all the magician universities in Galaxia yesterday. Sonia has undoubtedly become the most popular student now, and she seems to enjoy the attention very much. She left leisurely with a calm and low-key attitude.

However, Felix felt that Sonia seemed to be able to gain a kind of energy that he was most familiar with from all this attention!

Activate the 'blindness' magic!

Felix closed his eyes, and in an instant the world disappeared from his sight. In the pitch-black darkness, he saw wisps of blood-red smoke flowing into where Sonia was!

That is murderous intent!

The passive effect of the 'Killing Sword' is that it can absorb the killing intent of others towards oneself!

Although there are many magic spirits that can absorb killing intent, Felix is very sure for some reason that Sonia has just obtained a new magic spirit of the 'Killing Sword'!

Could it be that the 'Killing Sword' she got was the one that was taken away from me by Zhan Yulong

As soon as this idea popped up, Felix rejected it - how could it be such a coincidence

Moreover, the place where Felix fought with the Fish-Slaying Dragon was near the vortex. If it was such a coincidence, wouldn't it mean that Sonia also happened to pass through the vortex? But before Felix died, he clearly saw that the vortex was almost shrinking to the point of disappearing.

Sonia must have just been lucky, as she got another wild 'Killing Sword' spirit.

Felix was so jealous that he became hungry - this was one of the side effects of having his soul damaged. Any fluctuations in his mood would be directly reflected in his abdominal organs. If he was in a good mood, he would feel full, and if he was in a bad mood, he would feel very hungry. He also couldn't eat too much meat or fish, otherwise he would get intestinal blockage and constipation.

After calming down, Felix began to think about whether it was possible to obtain the "Killing Sword" in Sonia's hand.

But soon he would shake his head.

If she wanted to rob, Professor Trozan stood behind Sonia;

If anyone wanted to buy it, there were many people who wanted to buy the Sword of Killing Intent, and he didn't have the money to compete.

The sword of killing intent is extremely important to him. If there is no hope, it will be fine, but there is a chance to recover the loss...

Felix gritted his teeth, opened his eyes, and shouted to Sonia, who had not yet walked far away:

"Sonia!"
