In the virtual world, on a certain inheritance island, fire is spreading all over the prairie!
"The flames are raging, burning my remains!"
The axe wizard wearing heavy armor roared, his whole body was ablaze with flames, even his pupils turned into flames, he opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of flames, and boiling magma flowed out of the gaps in his armor!
Flowing flames ignited on the blade of the axe, and he shouted and swept it across. Sonia immediately retreated to avoid it. Then he suddenly rolled to the left, and the axe transformed into a sword, stabbing hard at Ash who was attacking with the heart sword at the side!
Ash immediately thrust his sword into the ground, activating the two magic arts of 'Earth Sword' and 'Wind Wall' to form a miracle - 'Sword Wind Barrier'!
The bright yellow sword barrier wrapped Ash perfectly!
clang!
The Slashing Sword and the Sword Wind Barrier made a sharp explosion, but until the flame of the Slashing Sword was worn out by the sword wind, Ash did not step back, and the barrier was not damaged at all!
This defensive miracle driven by a two-winged magic spirit is almost equivalent to an impenetrable fortress in the Sea of Knowledge!
The attack was thwarted, but the fire in the eyes of the Axe Master was still burning. He roared, and the sword spewed out boiling magma, stabbing fiercely into the Sword Wind Barrier!
"Joy, anger, sorrow, and sadness all turn to dust!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
With every explosion, the sword gushing out magma bombarded the Sword Wind Barrier like a heavy artillery. Ash's magic power almost disappeared like a waterfall, and the luster of the Sword Wind Barrier also became dim, looking shaky, as if it would collapse at any time!
This is the axe master's attack miracle!
"Sword Princess!"
As Ash shouted, Sonia was ready. The tip of the wooden sword flashed with the brilliance of steel and cut into the armor of the axe mage like cutting butter!
At the same time, the wooden sword burst out with sharp waves, transforming into a series of continuously spreading and rotating circular wheels of blades, cutting the axe master into dozens of pieces!
After obtaining the 'Slashing Sword', Sonia's 'Wave Breaking Slash' was completely completed. Because the Wave Sword is strong in impact rather than slashing, and the Splitting Sword is to increase the attack area and weaken the attack power, so the previous 'Wave Breaking Slash' looks impressive, but in fact the damage is insufficient.
But now with the sharpness of the Slashing Sword, the Wave-Splitting Slash makes up for the shortcoming of insufficient attack. Coupled with the large attack range and medium and short-range attack distance, it can be said to be the most practical swordsmanship miracle among the One-Winged Swordsman!
The only problem is that Sonia has just obtained the slashing sword, and is not very skilled in putting it together. She needs some time to adjust and prepare. She has not been able to find a chance to use it. Now that Ash has attracted the hatred, she finally has enough casting time to use it.
Of course, as to whether she deliberately wanted to see Ash get beaten, no one knew.
"Have mercy on all living beings, and be concerned about their many sufferings..."
With a final sigh, the Axe Master went out like a flame, leaving behind four magic spirits and a magician's manual.
However, neither of them was in a hurry to collect the spoils. Ash looked at Sonia, a little puzzled: "Why didn't you say a word tonight? Do you have a sore throat?"
Since entering the virtual realm, Sword Lady has been very silent. Ash thought she was in a bad mood, but she didn't even say a word or two after the battle, which was very abnormal.
In the past, she would first talk about her contribution in the battle, and then point out the mistakes Ash made in the battle, making Ash unconsciously feel that his contribution was very small and full of gratitude to her...
Eh? Wait
Come to think of it, has Fiora been using her rhetoric to suppress me and make me dependent on her
Just when Ash's office animal radar reacted, Sonia shook her head, pointed at Ash angrily, and then pointed at her own mouth.
Ash understood: "You mean, this is because the random spirit summoning card has taken effect, and you are in the summoning ritual and can't speak?"
Sonia nodded.
"Then you can write. Just write what you want to say in the sand."
Sonia suddenly realized something, clapped her hands, and wrote a few words on the sand with a wooden sword.
"Viewer, I curse you little megaphone."
Ash looked at Sonia, who looked at the words on the sand and said, "It turns out that not only can I not lie with my mouth, but I can't even go against my conscience when writing."
From Sonia's explanation, which included a curse every five sentences, Ash quickly understood that she had randomly come up with the summoning ceremony for the magic spirit 'Sincerity'. This summoning ceremony was very simple, and did not require much effort like swordsmanship, nor did it require a lot of time to learn like other magic factions. The only thing was that one had to be honest and not lie.
Honestly speaking, Sonia's luck was not bad. Not only because the spiritual spirits of the 'Sincerity' faction were very precious, but also because this summoning ritual was actually irrelevant to most people.
Like Ash, he tells the truth every day, but no one believes that he is an unjustly accused cult leader.
If it were any other ordinary person, even if he had to tell the truth every day, he would try to stay at home and remain silent outside.
But Sonia is the only one who is different - she is a celebrity in the school, and countless people are watching her every move. Not to mention that she doesn't cause trouble, there are a lot of troubles that come to her every day, some are to win over relationships, some are with conspiracies, some are inside the school and some are outside the school.
It would be fine if Sonia had been aloof from the beginning, but the problem was that she was a good student and a nice lady, with a perfect personality who could go both to the hall and the sword hall, and was vaguely regarded as the sword flower of the first grade.
She suddenly couldn't lie, which gave people the feeling that her personality collapsed. Sonia became arrogant and no longer cared about maintaining interpersonal relationships!
Ash laughed as he listened, and Sonia became angry: "Are you kidding me? I'm in trouble now, why don't you help me stop this ritual!"
"I'm sorry, I haven't received any professional training, and I just couldn't help it when I saw you were so unlucky." Ash chuckled, "But if you stop this ritual, you won't be able to summon Sincerity on your own, nor can you raise your spiritual faction to the silver realm. Is this really a good idea?"
Sonia hesitated: "If I continue this ritual, I will offend many people in the next few days. And their value, compared with the spiritual faction... obviously the spiritual faction is more important."
After saying this, Sonia was stunned for a moment - is this what she thought? Is she the kind of person who values personal strength the most, even if it means destroying her interpersonal relationships
"See, you said that."
"But at least help me to suspend one of the days! I will be the host of a social party in a few days, and I will have to lie then, otherwise I will offend a lot of people!"
"I can't do that." Ash spread his hands. "After I arrange your plans for this week, even I can't cancel them. The most I can do is add some special events for you temporarily, but I can't reduce your existing schedule."
"Incompetent! You can only control my weaklings through despicable means!"
"You're right. After all, it's not me who controls you, but Aurora... a gift from my previous life." Ash shrugged.
Sonia had actually anticipated this, because the difference between the viewer's ability to control her and the viewer's own combat power was too great, which meant that the viewer was not relying on his 'current' ability to control her.
Since it is not now, then it must be the legacy left behind by him as a legendary powerful man before he lost his memory and was reborn.
Perhaps this is why the viewer has been relying on him: he cannot use the inheritance at will, the inheritance chose her randomly, so the viewer can only try his best to help her become stronger, and then give back to him when Sonia becomes strong enough.
Sonia's curse just now was not a spur-of-the-moment thing. She had been planning it since she entered the virtual realm. She wanted to use the label "I can only tell the truth now" to make accusations that were slightly beyond the line, so that the viewer would take the initiative to reveal more information without causing disgust in the viewer.
'Honesty' can also be exploited.
Just as Sonia was digesting the information Ash had revealed, Ash suddenly asked, "By the way, Sword Princess, do you hate me?"
"it's OK."
Sonia covered her mouth as soon as she finished speaking, her eyebrows almost raised - she was really angry this time.
"I warn you, if you take this opportunity to ask me about my secrets," she said seriously, "I will hate you for the rest of my life."
"Sorry, sorry, it's my fault." Ash apologized three times quickly, "You have the first choice of tonight's spoils... Eh?"
As they were talking, the four spirits that burst out from the Axe Master had unknowingly climbed onto Ash's body. One of them was a cat-shaped single-winged spirit that went the furthest, rubbing against Ash's armpits as if it smelled good.
Noticing Sonia's puzzled look, Ash explained, "I used the Magic Spirit Stimulant Potion, which is more effective than the Magic Spirit Joy Potion I drank with you, so the magic spirits are attached to me."
"Will this potion make the magic spirits actively look for us?"
"I don't know, but it can improve the favorability of the magic spirits towards us, maybe it's possible?"
The four magic spirits are 'Slashing Axe', 'Burning', 'Lava', and 'Remnant'. Slashing Axe is a must-have magic spirit for the Slashing Axe Master, which effectively increases the destructive power of the Slashing Axe and Slashing Sword forms. What's more interesting is that it is actually a magic spirit in the form of a cat.
'Burning' and 'Magma' are fire magic spirits, and the miracle they formed almost blew up Ash's sword wind barrier.
The 'Crippled Body' belongs to the weak faction. The specific effect is that the more serious the damage, the stronger the body's recovery and resistance will be, and the pain will be greatly reduced. Therefore, the 'Natural Miracle' used by the Axe Master just now is actually a commonly used skill.
From this battle, it can be seen that the projections of magicians they encountered are becoming more and more powerful, from the gun magician who had only one magic spirit at the beginning to the axe magician who had four magic spirits and mastered two miracles. The rapid growth of magic power caused the Gate of Truth to go deeper into the Sea of Knowledge.
Unless one chooses to lie down and escape, the virtual world will always chase the magician.
Sonia glanced at the magician's manual and threw it to Ash. Ash took it and looked at it, and found that it was a "Spoils of War Catalog" - it seems that the axe magician was a bandit in his previous life
No, Ash quickly overturned his idea. This axe master was probably a religious mercenary, or in other words, a mercenary with religious beliefs, because most of the spoils were contributed as supplies to the "Temple of Fire" mentioned in it.
If the spoils are various materials, they will be paid as tribute to the temple. If they are intelligent races, they will develop into followers. If they are magic spirits or miracle spells, they will also be handed over to the temple for distribution. I don’t know whether it is because the axe slasher has excellent moral character or the rules of this temple are strict, the axe slasher almost never embezzles the spoils, except...
"Sword Princess, look here."
"I'm not like you, a veela who accepts everything." Sonia spread her hands and said, "You know I can't lie now."
Although Ash felt that she was taking the opportunity to scold him openly and that he had no right to even talk back, he had no evidence.
"It says how to trigger the vortex."
"It's a whirlpool. No wonder... Triggering the whirlpool?"
Facing Sonia's surprised gaze, Ash nodded: "According to what is said above, the vortex is actually a virtual realm mechanism that can be triggered artificially!"
