Benjamin made a rather nervous attempt.
Since becoming a mage, his control over magic has reached a very terrifying level. The use of magic sound insulation is also a method he has been using since a long time ago. But... he was still a little unsure whether he could isolate the kind of sound that could cause hallucinations.
Not to mention it's done within a second.
For a brief moment, Benjamin closed his eyes, calming down like a diver for a moment before taking the stage. Then, he let the system activate the state of nothingness for the last second, and at that moment he desperately controlled the blisters surrounding them.
"You...what are you doing?"
At the same time, Dick was in a state of confusion as he watched the whole process.
He was already half-frozen to death, and he felt that his thinking ability had begun to deteriorate. However, after stopping in mid-air for a long time, Benjamin neither continued flying nor returned the same way, which made him completely confused about what was going on.
He just watched Benjamin there in a daze, and suddenly summoned a bubble of water to wrap them up, and then continued to be in a daze.
This made him wonder, wasn't this guy dumbfounded by the cold
Dick originally felt that the decision to cross the Scaife Mountains was very unreliable - could such a legendary thing be touched casually? But because he was dependent on someone else, he never dared to object clearly, so he could only keep these thoughts in his stomach.
But... look at it now! What was done to them
Dick was really full of resentment.
Although he is clearly not capable enough, he still insists on choosing the most difficult path. This Benjamin has become more and more powerful after becoming a mage. Forget about taking away the key his father gave him. Now that they haven't climbed over the mountain, they might freeze to death on the way!
Before his death, why did his father place his only hope on this man
The more Dick thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and the more desperate he became.
It's over... Could it be that the bloodline of their Foer family will eventually be cut off in this world of ice and snow
With the accumulation of emotions, Dick could hardly bear it anymore and was ready to roar with all his strength and order Benjamin to come down the mountain now. However, at this moment, the blisters surrounding them suddenly froze into ice.
Dick was stunned at that time.
A huge, round ice ball suddenly took shape, wrapping him and Benjamin inside, and the originally soft and elastic water film turned into solid ice that could not move at all. At that moment, Dick almost thought it was too cold here and Benjamin couldn't even control his magic.
But when he looked out through the translucent ice, that thought disappeared.
"My, my God... what is this place?"
This was still the towering Scaife Mountains. The entire light suddenly dimmed, and everything in front of us looked so eerie and terrifying. Dick was so frightened that he collapsed directly inside the hockey puck, his head covered with cold sweat.
This this…
Teleportation magic? How could they be teleported here
Dick was filled with fear and confusion, and Benjamin also spoke slowly at this moment.
"you saw it?"
Dick looked up: "What do you see?"
"Cracks, black shadows, strange plants... Did the entire white-flowered mountain range just disappear before your eyes?" Benjamin asked with an excited look.
Dick was a little stunned, but nodded anyway.
Benjamin nodded: "That's right!"
His happy look was really incredible in Dick's eyes. However, after gradually coming back to his senses, Dick found that the feeling of being about to freeze to death had also disappeared.
This discovery immediately cheered him up.
At least... I won't freeze to death.
"What on earth is going on?" After taking a few deep breaths, Dick gradually came back to his senses and asked the doubts in his heart. But this time, Benjamin finally seemed to be interested in answering.
"This is an ice layer that I compressed about ten times in volume. The sound is isolated from the outside, so we will no longer have hallucinations. What you see now is the real world. The Scaife Mountains are fundamentally No, we were just spinning around in circles for the past few hours."
Dick stayed where he was, his head filled with questions.
... Why does he know every word this guy says, but when they are put together, he can't understand them
He was still thinking about Benjamin's words, but Benjamin was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore. In that second of nothingness, he condensed the water into ice, compressed it continuously, and finally formed a large ice ball with ultimate sound insulation. After the strange sound was isolated, the hallucination just now finally disappeared.
Even Dick is not affected by hallucinations anymore, which is the best proof.
Then what should be done
Benjamin lowered his head and looked down. The illusion disappeared, and they gained the ability to explore freely here, and this crack was deeper than he imagined, almost invisible to the bottom.
The system also told him that the source of the strange sound was deeper into the abyss.
Do you want to go take a look
"Why are you pretending to be entangled here?" He was still hesitating, and the system started to complain, "You have already controlled the ice ball to fly down, just say you want to see it, there is no need to hesitate here. "
Benjamin scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.
After finally encountering such an incredible sight, leaving like this was really not something he could do.
But... wait.
He didn't control the puck to fly down.
Realizing this, Benjamin was shocked at the time.
Yes, he wanted to go down and have a look, but the control of magic could not be accomplished just by having an idea in his mind. In other words, the ice ball now slowly descending around him and Dick was not the result of his control.
—There was a force pulling them down slowly.
Benjamin quickly controlled the puck to float up. Fortunately, the force was not strong, and the puck quickly stopped falling and began to move upward slowly. Benjamin also breathed a sigh of relief.
"What just happened? I didn't let the puck fall." he asked in his mind.
"Really? I thought you just said no, but the magic honestly started to fly down."
“…”
"Don't think too much, maybe it's just normal gravity."
So the system started gibbering again, and Benjamin decided to ignore it for now.
The automatic decline of magic is indeed strange, but after taking a good look around, Benjamin felt that there was nothing dangerous here. Like the people who tried to climb the Scaife "Mountain" before, few people died because of it. After the climbers gave up halfway, the illusion would be kind enough to send them away from this area.
So, after some careful consideration, Benjamin ignored Dick's pleading and followed the force and began to descend slowly.
What lies beneath this bottomless abyss
