In the consciousness space, the triangular characters still shine, the water bubbles condensed with water elements float lightly, and the blue ripple-like spiritual power also ripples back and forth in the darkness.
At that moment, Benjamin suddenly realized that the problem might lie in the mental power he had "stolen" from the pure blue world.
If the system is right, those golden halos are condensed into substantial spiritual power, then what may react with it is probably another kind of spiritual power. The spiritual coercion exuded by the priest at this moment has far exceeded the limits of human beings.
Where did that pressure come from
Benjamin immediately thought of those characters in the pure blue world.
Those characters have self-awareness and can be said to be some kind of creatures. And their mental power also helped Benjamin's magic gradually acquire its own intelligence...
Could it be that these golden halos are the spiritual power borrowed by the church from the light elemental plane
After all, the fourth generation Pope also visited another "pure white world", and the runes there greeted him. Perhaps the pope entered there again later and learned some special means to utilize the spiritual power of those characters as he does now.
Just like this, the more Benjamin thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
"Things don't belong to you."
The priest in the holy light was still staring at him closely, his empty eyes looking a bit penetrating. But Benjamin knew very well that these words were probably not spoken by the priest himself.
—The priest has become a vehicle, a character speaking to Benjamin through his mouth.
Therefore, Benjamin snorted coldly and imitated the other person's tone and said:
"You don't belong here either."
After saying that, he closed his eyes, pressed his temples with both hands, and released the blue mental power in his conscious space bit by bit, preparing to use it to fight against the golden halo.
-There is no doubt that this kind of water-like mental power can also be released into the real world. Normally, it would be integrated into Benjamin's magic and enter reality using magic as a carrier. But now, he wants to release this mental power in large quantities.
He didn't know if he would have any use in the future if he released them all, but at this moment, he had no room to consider these issues.
If nothing was done, more than two thousand people would all die in this auditorium.
Ding!
The moment Benjamin tried to release his mental power, the three characters suddenly vibrated together and made a crisp sound.
Benjamin felt a shock all over.
At that moment, he felt as if he was separated from this body and rose to a higher perspective, watching indifferently as he covered his head with a troubled expression. A cold emotion flowed into the depths of his soul, and he felt as if he had turned into a ball of water.
A blob of... pure water.
He didn't know how to describe that feeling, but when he came back to his senses, a wave-like shadow was already surrounding him.
The golden halo that filled the entire auditorium was also forced back slightly from him by this light blue shadow.
"Who are you?"
There was a hint of doubt in the priest's mechanical tone, but at this moment, Benjamin had no time to pay attention to him. He tried to let these shadows cover other people, but the golden halo was still too strong, and the shadows could only cling to him and could not spread.
Benjamin became a little anxious again.
Is it because he didn't steal enough spiritual power
"No... I think these mental powers are already powerful enough. What matters is how you control them." The system said at this time.
"What do you mean? Why don't you come and teach me how to control them?"
Benjamin could feel that the blue mental power almost lost its substance after being released, making it very difficult to control. Moreover, they did not belong to Benjamin in the first place. After leaving the body, they did not obey orders at all and just clung to him lazily.
In this state, how should he use these mental powers to protect the people in the entire auditorium
"I think... do you know what the spell is?" The system suddenly said, "From some vague memory fragments in this body, I feel that commanding these mental powers seems to require a spell."
"Spell?"
"Yes! A very short spell."
Benjamin's heart moved.
He remembered that when he entered the pure blue world, the syllable echoed all over the world and shocked him out of his mind.
But...he can't remember that thing at all!
"It doesn't belong to you."
The priest's nervous-sounding murmur continued. When Benjamin heard this, he suddenly took steps forward, surrounded by water-like shadows all over his body, and quickly approached the priest in the holy light.
—This time, the mental protection body with characters should not be blocked again, right
What he didn't expect was that the whole process was so easy that he couldn't believe it.
Blue ripples protected him, and the suffocating mental pressure from before disappeared without a trace. Benjamin walked in the holy light as if he were walking on flat ground, and even the wall formed by the condensed spiritual power could not stop him in the slightest.
In a blink of an eye, he was in front of the priest.
In a moment of silence, he looked at the priest. The light in the priest's eyes dazzled him.
However, he didn't waste any more nonsense, pulled out the dagger, and stabbed the opponent in the heart!
With a pop, the dagger pierced the priest's chest. However, the scene that Benjamin expected did not happen. The priest did not fall, and no blood even flowed out of the wound. He was still looking at Benjamin with that strange look in his eyes. People's groans of pain did not stop, and the golden halo in the auditorium continued to reverberate.
It's useless...
Before Benjamin could be happy for even half a second, he fell into a sense of urgency again.
"He's just a carrier. It's useless if you stab him to pieces." The system continued, "You'd better recall what that spell is. My intuition tells me that it is the only one that can solve the current predicament. "
"But I really can't remember it!"
Benjamin almost lost his mind. He kept pulling out the dagger, stabbing it in, pulling it out, and stabbing it in again... The priest was stabbed to pieces by him, but after a while, the holy light came in and the priest was intact again. , and continued to repeat his sporadic and strange muttering.
"It's not your..."
Benjamin had no choice but to pinch the priest's neck and asked coldly: "What is that curse? Tell me! You must know it, right? Tell me!"
The priest ignored Benjamin's questioning.
However, Benjamin suddenly frowned and looked towards the priest's glowing eyes. After he got closer, he discovered that a small rune seemed to be flashing in the priest's eyes.
"what is that… "
Benjamin ignored the chattering priest. The man wouldn't move anyway. He got closer and took a closer look.
It was a circle with a gap.
Benjamin frowned.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly summoned a water ball, imitating the shape of the character, and made the water form a circle with gaps in mid-air. There was no way, there wasn't that much time for him to think about it, the people in the auditorium couldn't hold on for long, he had to do something.
And this character that exists in the priest's eyes may be helpful to the current situation.
Just after the precise shape was shaped by him, he suddenly felt a shock all over his body, and the golden halo around him rushed towards Benjamin as if it was irritated by something.
This is…
The shadow of the water wave guarding Benjamin suddenly began to tremble under the impact of the halo.
"This is a signal of attack."
Cold words came from the mouth of the priest who was very close.
Benjamin turned his head in astonishment and saw the halo of light in the entire auditorium rushing towards him. The blue shadow was squeezed and deformed, and the powerful mental pressure gradually emerged again.
Suddenly, he was filled with anguish in his heart.
Oops... I seem to have triggered something unintentionally.
However, the only good thing is that the halo seemed to be completely attracted to him. The wailing in the auditorium suddenly subsided a lot, and the others no longer held their heads and rolled in pain, but fell weakly to the ground, gasping for air.
…are they saved
Benjamin's mood cheered up, and it finally seemed like a good sign.
However, there was no time to be happy for long...
He suddenly realized that the shadow guarding him could no longer hold on.
