Chapter 126 Half a Year
Thick, dark clouds hung over the vast sea, blocking all sunlight from shining through.
There is also dark energy spreading in this sea area, which makes it not only dark, but also lurking with invisible dangers.
Like a huge palm, it holds this place firmly in its hand.
This is an island in the center of the Dark Realm, but there are no living creatures on the island. The only ones left are the skeletons and undead who died and resurrected in the dark outbreak.
A young man was leaning against the wall of a house that had not completely collapsed, breathing heavily.
He had a head of shaggy black hair hidden in a small flat hat on his head. He wore a slightly worn brown leather jacket, and the cotton lining of the collar could be seen from his neck.
Apart from a ring on each thumb of his left and right hands , the most eye-catching element is the metal box on his back.
The silver box is covered with patterns of religious elements.
At this moment, two cards suddenly appeared in the man's hand, and he held them between his fingers and threw them out.
Two cards flew out at the same time, but slid to different places with different trajectories.
Quickly disappeared into the boundless darkness around.
Alka calmed his breathing and began to move, walking freely in the darkness as if it were daytime.
He was carrying a heavy metal box as he walked, but no sound was made.
It was as if all the sounds that could be made were absorbed and merged into the darkness.
After walking about 100 meters forward, he once again came to a complete house.
A large mirror appeared in front of him, but the image displayed in the mirror was not Alka.
But it is another scene.
What appeared in the mirror was a broken street corner, surrounded by many building ruins, some of which had not completely collapsed.
Street corners like this can be seen everywhere in this ruined town.
Alka stared at the screen until a piece of gravel on the ground suddenly rolled twice for some unknown reason.
A blue light flashed instantly.
A card with a gradient blue back exploded like a water ball, and the splashing water condensed into five water chains in the air.
Five water chains shot out and bound the transparent object in the air, and an invisible evil spirit appeared.
This sudden water chain caught the evil spirit off guard.
His limbs and waist were tied and he was struggling constantly.
Seeing this scene, Alka smiled, but before the smile disappeared, he immediately frowned, squatted on the ground and couldn't help holding his head.
Whispering and singing began to appear in the brain with a tingling sensation.
You came at a really bad time.
A white mist flew out from the magic mirror on his chest and penetrated into his brain.
After about 5 seconds, Alka opened his eyes in a trance and came back to his senses.
In just a moment, a stick-like weapon appeared in his hand, but it had a round ball head on one end.
Alka stepped out from the corner and the ball head immediately floated off the stick.
A card was thrown out by him at some point and flew straight to the far end of the street.
Then Alka stepped out, holding the stick in both hands, and hit the floating ball in front of him hard.
At this moment, just 100 meters away from Alka, right in front of the street, the evil spirit was struggling to break free from the water chain.
Because Alka was delayed for a few seconds by the sudden mental attack, the evil spirit was about to completely break free from the water chain.
The sphere, which was the size of two adult fists, flew over and ignited a pale white flame in the air. It was the Holy Flame.
This weapon does not have such an effect. The reason why it has the Holy Flame is because Alka asked Xia Daiti to enchant it when it came out.
Can only be used once, better than nothing.
When the ball was about to hit the evil spirit, he finally broke free the water chain and immediately dodged to the side, but was still hit by the ball.
A small hole immediately appeared in the middle of the body, and the ball burned into green smoke.
The evil spirit's soul was torn apart, and it couldn't help but howl on the spot.
However, just as he opened his mouth, a card fell at his feet.
It was a card with a gradient red back, and the flaming cross on the front lit up, emitting a flame-like light.
A huge flame spurted out from the card, a column of fire directly enveloped the evil spirit, and the other three flames covered the surroundings.
A cross of flames erupted, and only dark green smoke was seen floating out of the flames and disappeared.
Fire is also a relatively good means of damaging evil spirits. Of course, it is far inferior to the attacks of holy light elements.
Alka put away the stick in his hand, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the place where the evil spirit died.
The mirror that appeared before him and could see distant scenes disappeared and turned into a card.
The card is still ordinary white, with an eye of the number 1 logo in a black line border on the front.
He took the card and put it directly into the ring.
Alka did not go directly to the place where the ghost died, but came to the wall at the corner, took out the eye card with the number 2 logo from it and put it into the ring.
These two are a pair, and number 2 is one of the two cards that Alka just threw out.
The other one is a water chain that imprisons the evil spirit.
These numbered eye cards are used to transmit images over short distances in real time.
It is made by combining the [Replicate] spell with the [Mirror] spell.
[Copy] The original function of this spell is to immediately copy some digital text or simple line drawings onto another piece of paper.
It is generally used for quick transcription of books, but when combined, it produces completely incomprehensible results.
But anyway, it is really useful.
Watching the still burning flame gradually die out.
Alka couldn't help but sigh.
"I wasted a red card. What a loss."
"Arka, your resistance to darkness is getting weaker and weaker. It's been less than a week since you were last attacked by the mind."
A soft and pleasant voice entered Alka's ears. It was Lucilia in the magic mirror.
As the battle ended, she also emerged from Alka's soul space.
A bottle of potion appeared in Alka's hand. He took a look at it, shook his head, sighed, and poured it into his mouth.
Feeling the darkness in his spirit being cleared away, Alka then said, "It's okay. I'll be promoted to the Second Helix soon."
At this time, almost half a year had passed since Alka and his companions entered the central sea area.
They have been active in this place for the past six months, and their food depends on Polo's search for fish that can resist the dark element in the sea.
And from time to time, he would kill the pursuers and harvest supplies from their ships to fill his stomach.
As for the source of water, it is naturally a spell like spring water.
For a toucher, water is always the last thing to worry about.
In the past six months, Alka has cleared many blue spots on the less dangerous islands.
This also brought them countless gains and greatly enhanced their strength.
Correspondingly, after staying in such an area for such a long time, the darkness naturally invaded deeper and deeper.
This is completely inevitable, even though Alka has various reasons that make him have a certain resistance.
Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with Alka's previous calculations. He was about to step into the second spiral and had just drunk the last bottle of potion for clearing his mind.
Or it was Xia Dai who had not finished using the money he had given him.
Thinking of this, Alka had already come to the place where the evil spirit's corpse was originally located, and took out an object with a blue outline from under the corpse.
He took it in his hand, looked at it, and then wiped off the stains.
"Not bad, at least I won't lose money."
The consumption he was talking about was the cards needed to kill the evil spirit.
As for the thing in his hand, it is a natural magic core, just like the stone fragment that activated the magic card when Alka used it for the first time a long time ago.
This is a complete one, and is generally used as a material or energy source for certain objects.
It's worth a lot of money.
The magic crystal disappeared in Alka's hand, and he walked out of the ruins of the city.
All the way to the port.
Lights flickered in a relatively intact port building, and a lantern floated above Alka's head, illuminating his surroundings.
At this time, a figure emerged from the sea, carrying two huge fish and walking towards the room.
Just happened to meet Alka.
"You're back, are you done?"
Looking at Pororo in front of him, Alka nodded: "Don't worry, it's done."
As he said this, he and Porro walked into the building.
This is a small warehouse, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate Porro's tall and strong body.
The light came from a small stove made of unknown metal in the room. Xia Daiti was next to the small stove, drawing something carefully and seriously.
It is an unfinished map.
Hearing the noise behind her, she put down the tools in her hands and turned around.
And the paintbrush used to draw the map was still floating, automatically outlining something.
"Have you harvested everything on the island?" Xia Daiti asked Alka who was walking over with a smile.
Alka nodded, shrugged and said, "These are all useless things. How about the map drawing ?"
Hearing this, Xia Daiti turned his head, touched the floating brush with his finger and said, "It's almost done. The final finishing work is already underway."
This automatic drawing pen is a magical tool they found. When infused with magic power, it can help Xia Daiti draw maps automatically.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the user can really draw a map and has his own ideas in mind.
They have no idea how many things like this they have collected in the past six months. Most of the blue dots come from things that are somewhat useful, but not very useful.
However, having said that, it still facilitates their activities. For example, the small metal stove in front of them is such a thing.
And the chef's knives that Pororo was using to cut the fish at this moment, they were two magic kitchen knives.
Alka didn't know its specific function, but according to Porro, it was very useful for processing fish.
The two kitchen knives, one long and one short, were like small table knives in Polo's hands, and he quickly cut and sorted the two fish he caught.
On the rotten wooden table next to it lay a large silver plate with exaggerated patterns.
The cut fish was placed on the plate, and the plate automatically floated in the air and came to the side of Alka and the others.
While chatting, the two placed the fish meat next to the stove, where there was a special area for grilling and heating various foods.
This magical tool that facilitates life is always very convenient in strange places.
As for Pororo, he likes to eat it raw.
The two sat by the stove, roasting fish and chatting casually.
Pororo sat at a distance from the stove, eating sashimi.
As a fishman, he doesn't like overly hot flames.
Throwing a large piece of raw fish into his mouth, Pororo said, "Just now on the sea, I found a pirate search ship."
Hearing this, neither Alka nor Xiadaiti panicked.
"Have you found it yet? No hurry, I'm about to reach the second helix, so I'll stay here for a few days."
After hearing Alka's words, Xiadaiti suddenly felt relieved: "That's good. Finally, I can be free from the invasion of darkness."
Because Xia Daiti even gave the mental invasion potion he used to Alka. If Alka had not yet been promoted to the second spiral, they might have to leave the central area.
