When passing through the water surface condensed by moonlight, Hao Ren felt a bone-chilling chill spreading from his limbs.
It was not the cold that the nerves could really perceive, but a cold that was more related to the soul and seemed to spread outward from the depths of his consciousness. When this kind of cold hit, Hao Ren realized that he had entered A world ruled by shadowy forces.
The upside-down gravitational disorder was fleeting. Hao Ren felt as if he had turned somersaults in the air. One second he was spinning, but the next second he felt down-to-earth again. The scene in front of him quickly stabilized. He found that he was still Standing in the courtyard of the castle, the entire castle and the sky above have completely changed.
Everything in the sight has faded out of color, and the black and white tones of different levels outline everything in sight. The whole world seems to have become a black and white photo, monotonous, cold and gloomy, and in the "outside world" more than half collapsed The castle here is in an intact state. Not only is it intact, but its scale has also expanded countless times than Hao Ren remembered. Fountains and grotesque sculptures, and those things did not exist in the "outside world" before; the four towers of the square became four towering giant towers reaching the sky, like four pillars supporting the heaven and earth, standing in the distant At the end of the line of sight, the top of the tower supports the cloud-covered sky, and where the top of the tower touches the sky, you can also see a huge and frightening whirlpool slowly flowing; a part of the castle wall extends from the east side of the courtyard to the west side , the wall has also expanded countless times, becoming like a giant dam, with hundreds of gothic slender carved windows lined up on the wall, each window reveals a pale light, like an endless scene. An endless banquet is being held in the castle.
And in the high sky, the black and white cloud layer seemed to be frozen, covering the whole world.
Hao Ren looked around the huge and complex buildings in surprise. He realized that the huge structures he could see were only a small part of this castle. "In this shadow world, there is a strange state, perhaps some kind of asymmetrical projection, which caused it to become like this here.
The witches also came out of the pool one by one, the last one jumped out was Lily who was screaming with her eyes closed, but the scene of the shadow world made the husky girl instantly quiet, she stared at the surroundings with wide eyes, and then looked back The pool when I came here: the pool that was originally less than ten meters in diameter has also expanded several times, and there are a lot of dark and twisted sculptures and patterns around the pool. Lily blinked and sighed, "Wow—is the world of shadows like this?"
"The world of shadows can take on any appearance, depending on the control of the leader and the distorted projection of the real world," Hesianna said, "The shadow is always abstract, so the appearance it can present is often beyond your imagination. "
Madam Mary opened her hands, looking at a small ball of black flames beating in her palm: "The concentration of magic power in this world is simply unimaginable... I have never captured free magic power in the air so easily... This place is simply black magic Paradise!"
"Restrain your desires, witch," Heatherana warned coldly, "The magical power of this world belongs to Lady Vivienne, and even the whole world is an extension of her, you can indulge in it, I It won’t stop you, anyway, if you go on like this, you will soon become a part of the shadow, digested and absorbed by Lord Vivienne’s dream.”
Lily blinked, but seemed to think of something else: "So this is Vivian's dream?"
"That's right," Hessiana replied casually, "Master Vivienne will transform the 'domain' she is in while she is sleeping. This domain is separated from the real world and forms a highly protective 'shell. ', in this 'shell', Master Vivienne's subconscious dominates and creates everything."
Lily scratched her hair: "It seems that she wants to live in such a big house in her dreams..."
Heather Anna: "..."
Hao Ren: "..."
Fuck, this dog's mouth is really sharp! Does Ganqing mean that the true meaning of this shadow world means that Vivienne can only dream if she wants to live a rich life
The husky girl's inadvertent words caused quite a long time of embarrassment. After a while, Hao Ren coughed twice and recovered: "Ahem, we can study these things slowly after the incident subsides. Heatherana, what should I do next?" Where are you going?"
"Wait, I need to observe too," Hesianna said while opening her hands, a pair of huge bat wings appeared in the air behind her, and countless shadowy, phantom-like little bats came from under her bat wings Flying out of the shadows of her, she scattered in all directions, "It's also my first time entering this place. Lord Vivienne usually... doesn't like me to bother you very much. Most of what I know about this place comes from my long-term investigation."
Lily curled her lips: "It's just a theoretical school."
"But I know a lot of things as a theorist," Heatherna glared at Lily, "Although Lady Vivian doesn't like to be disturbed, she once told me about this shadow world in a dream, at least , I know where the soulless guard's control center is!"
As she spoke, the little bat spirit's expression suddenly changed slightly, and her eyes then turned to a certain direction.
Hao Ren asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"I saw that a shadow node was disturbed, and that wizard... that wizard named Barn has indeed come in."
The witches immediately became agitated: Wizard Bahn was the "inner ghost" they recruited, so any information about the other party made them quite nervous, and Hao Ren immediately asked, "Can you track him down?"
"It's hard." Hesiana frowned and shook her head, "That wizard's strength is a bit unexpected, he is very good at shadow magic, and he still has the key in his hand... He erased most of his traces, At the same time, use the environment of this world to hide yourself."
"Anyway, he will always go to the depths of the seal." Hao Ren looked up at the sky made of black and white blocks, and some faint black shadows appeared behind those solidified clouds. "What are those?"
"It's the soulless guard," Heatherana glanced up, her expression immediately became serious, "The shadow world has already sensed our 'trespassing' this time, and the soulless people are gradually waking up. Come with me, let's go immediately North Tower, you must first gain control of a part of this world!"
"Uh..." Lily looked around, "I think those soulless people you mentioned have already come..."
Almost at the same time as the husky girl's voice fell, bursts of "Kerala" stone breaking sounds suddenly came from all over the square.
In this square, which is several times larger than the real world, there are hideous and weird black stone sculptures everywhere. Most of them have human bodies and beast limbs, and there are bat-like wings full of bone spurs on their backs. Long tail, now these strange stone carvings are being broken one by one. After the stones collapse, what is exposed is the body that looks like amorphous smoke inside, and the broken stone chips roll among the smoke, forming these The extremely strange form of the monster.
"Damn it... the soulless person is actually captured in the gargoyle statue..." Hesianna cursed in a low voice, and at the same time waved a hand, and a blood-red long whip appeared in her hand, "Everyone, head towards the direction of the North Tower." Withdraw! Don't love to fight, the soulless are endless!"
While speaking, a "gargoyle" that had come to life had let out a shrill scream, rushing over like a cloud of smoke!
A flash of light flashed, and the high-temperature flames of the plasma gun blade cut the monster made of shadow power and stones in half. Hao Ren held a spear in his hand to block the front of the team, and the other hand had already pressed the gravitational force. The three locking buttons of the sub grenade: "Lily, you just take the Hasselblad!"
After being thrown, the graviton grenade exploded, instantly forming a gravitational collapse with a radius of five meters. The several gargoyles rushing in were instantly captured by the force field no less than a small black hole, and were sucked in while screaming. Into that dark, lightless dot at the center of the explosion. This strange power instantly startled the witches, and also stunned Heatherana, who looked at Hao Ren in disbelief: "What kind of power is this? This is not witchcraft!"
"I have a relationship with those guys from Northern Europe." Hao Ren said nonsense.
Lily carried Hasselblad, kicked a gargoyle away, and yelled angrily: "This uncle is so troublesome to carry! I don't want to carry him, I want to fight! Landlord, you can't throw him in your portable space first." What!"
"I'm not so sensitive to the portable space here, so if something happens to him, I won't know!" Hao Ren threw an extremely thick alloy two-handed sword to Lily while talking, "Here you are, Just protect the two of you!"
Lily swung Hasselblad on her other shoulder, caught the long sword with her free right hand, and swung the huge two-handed sword like a movie prop with one hand a few times: "Okay, it's more or less a stick !"
After she finished speaking, she slapped a gargoyle with a "stick", turning the latter into a cloud of smoke and dust.
Heather Anna and the witches also took action one after another, and all kinds of magic and summoned objects flew across the battlefield. When will the battle be one!
However, Hao Ren soon saw that the gargoyles that had been scattered or even vaporized would reappear in the air in a short time, and some monsters even split and multiplied after being scattered. more and more!
He finally realized what Hesianna meant by "soulless people can't be killed"-the roots of these monsters come from Vivienne's dreams, and as long as Viviane hasn't woken up, these nightmare monsters will never die. will really reduce!
On the contrary, with external stimulation, this nightmare will escalate more and more, and the number of monsters will also increase!
Everyone realized this, so under the leadership of Heather Anna, everyone fought and retreated, and began to shift towards the north tower of the ancient castle.
