Chapter 144: Triple Helix Achieved
Alka closed his eyes and sat quietly in his room.
Sweat continued to drip from his cheeks, but he could see that the magic power around him was like a whirlpool, and Alka himself was the center of the whirlpool.
The spiral magic merged into his body.
The Dreamcatcher also circled around him, and a faint pink mist emerged during its flight, leaving a long trail of pink mist.
As the vortex of magic became more and more exaggerated, a certain vacuum of magic appeared around Alka, causing the dark elements to be squeezed out.
The vacuum only appeared for a moment, and then the magic power was filled again.
The previous magic power was finally completely absorbed into Alka's body, contributing to his promotion.
Only then did Alka open his eyes and let out a deep breath.
A circular line appeared again at the outermost part of his body, and magic power slowly flowed through it.
He officially reached triple helix strength.
The three spirals fell back and overlapped each other in his body, absorbing the surrounding magic power and strengthening his physique.
Looking at the dream catcher floating in front of him, he controlled the crystal ball, slowly floating it towards his chest until it began to sink into his skin.
But until the end, the dream catcher did not completely enter the body, but left a semicircular vitreous body about the size of a thumb in the middle of the chest.
If you look closely, you can see a wisp of pink mist floating inside the crystal-shaped semicircle.
Alka raised his hands.
Looking at the mist rising from his hands, he now officially mastered the Dream Catcher.
Being able to contain the dream catcher within oneself means that one does not have to keep it outside at all times.
However, when he really needs to use the Dream Catcher, he still needs to release the crystal ball and use it. His physique cannot withstand the energy impact when using the Dream Catcher.
However, the pink mist is usually used to put people to sleep, so there is no need to call it out.
As your physical fitness improves, you may be able to withstand more impacts.
I feel like even after upgrading to the triple helix, there hasn’t been much change.
Since this is only the first phase, the core spell has not changed.
With an extra spiral, there aren't many other changes except for the normal changes that occur every time an achievement is made, such as enhanced physique, more magic power, and more powerful spells.
Well, there is one more slot for spells to hang on to.
Each spiral can hold a less powerful spell, allowing it to remain effective.
The two spirals in front have been equipped with mental protection and dark vision.
I haven’t decided what to hang on this empty space yet, so I’ll just leave it empty.
After all, this kind of place can only be used to hang things that need to be maintained for a long time and are not very powerful or effective.
It is more about relying on functional spells.
This type of functional spell is usually used according to the circumstances, so there is nothing to rely on for now.
Immersing his body and mind in dreams, Alka began to experiment to fully understand whether the Dreamcatcher had any new capabilities or any of its existing functions had been strengthened.
Come to your own dream bubble again.
At this time, some cracks can be clearly seen around the bubbles.
These are all the damage caused by Alka's dream body dying in reality.
I died twice during experiments before, and there were a lot of cracks on my body. I feel much better after resting for a while.
Although there are still many cracks around the bubble.
When these cracks are completely repaired, it means that the damage Alka's dream body suffered in lieu of death has been relieved.
Alka waved his hands in his dream.
The surroundings changed again, and all kinds of things that he had seen or touched appeared.
Nothing has changed, it's still the same as before.
Alka resurfaced from the bubble and came to the dream world outside.
There have been changes.
As soon as he got outside the bubble, Alka felt a more obvious change.
He seemed to be able to distinguish directions, or something like coordinates, in his dreams.
And I also felt a vague connection.
What?
He was sure there had been no such connection before, but now it seemed that his complete mastery of the Dreamcatcher had heightened his senses within the dream state.
Following this connection, Alka began to drift away through layers of rainbow-colored mist.
Anyway, if the body in a dream dies, it is at most like a nightmare, and it won’t cause any harm when you wake up.
So Alka's exploration is quite bold.
Following the connection Alka flew until he finally arrived at a space wrapped in fog, looking at the two overlapping bubbles in front of him.
This is outside other people's dreams.
Alka frowned at the scene in front of him.
Are there any other dreams like this?
One bubble represents a person's dream, and there are two bubbles in front of you, half of which are overlapping each other.
What does this mean?
One person has two dreams? Or are the two people too close to each other, so the dreams are entangled.
Alka couldn't figure out why this happened.
Fly down and come out of the bubble.
He stuck his head into the bubble and checked what was inside.
When he saw what was inside, Alka was surprised.
The environment here is unlike anywhere else.
It was the Golden Wheat Island, and that house was exactly where he had lived on the island.
So familiar.
Is this the dream of some island resident?
At this time, the door of the house where he used to live was pushed open, and Alka looked down from high in the sky.
When Alka saw the figure, his brows furrowed, and an unknown anger rose in his heart.
But he calmed down after a while. There was no point in getting angry now.
The figure was none other than his father, Sivers.
At this time, Sivers was dressed like the farmers on the island, with no difference.
Just as Alka remembered, he went to his wheat field, worked for a while, and then rested.
But after a while, his behavior became problematic.
He stood up, brushed off the dust on his body, then waved his hand and a hammer appeared in his hand.
Came to the junction of two bubbles.
He smiled and waved at the person on the other side of the bubble, saying something with a fake smile on his face, as if inviting the person on the other side to come over.
Another bubble, someone else's dream? Who could be on the other side?
Alka moved in the sky and looked at another bubble.
The bubble was surrounded by ocean, and at the junction of the bubbles there was a huge three-masted sailing ship docked.
The entire sailboat looks extremely fancy, but it can also be seen that it is a spell ship.
There are a lot of playing card elements on the surface and canvas of the boat, and the middle-aged man with slightly graying hair is communicating with his father on the other side of the border.
Looking at this middle-aged man, Alka's eyes widened.
He remembered the man's face and the tuxedo he was wearing.
He had seen it before.
It was the portrait hanging in the center of his living room. Although the face had become younger, Alka was sure that he was not mistaken. It was Jack in the picture.
The "magician" Jack who should have died 200 years ago and left behind Jack's magic treasure.
Alka's brain was working frantically. Countless known information was rapidly combining and rotating in his mind, and various answers kept appearing in his mind.
He seemed to have grasped the clue, but he couldn't be sure of the answer yet, so he continued to observe quietly for a while.
Seeing Jack enter another bubble, Alka immediately floated over.
The other side.
After his father dragged Jack over, he picked up the hammer and beat Jack madly.
Looking at the crazy and furious expression on his face, you can tell that he is venting his emotions madly.
While beating him, he was also insulting him.
Alka just watched.
Jack tried to resist, but was tied up tightly by chains that came out from nowhere.
He then continued to be beaten without mercy, inflicting the most bloody and painful blows.
After all, this place is his father's dream and is under his control.
However, he was able to control his dreams so freely. Judging from his behavior just now, he must have woken up from his dream and was able to move freely.
But Jack, who was tricked by him, obviously didn't have that feeling. No matter how he was tricked or how he acted, he looked confused.
Just watched his father beat Jack to death.
Listen to the curses coming out of your father's mouth and extract useful information from them.
He looked at the bubble next to him and it burst directly, leaving only his father's dream bubble.
Looking at the disappearing corpse in front of him, Sivers spat fiercely on the ground where the disappearing corpse was.
He did not clean up the blood around him, the hammer in his hand, or the blood all over his body. He just sat on the ground.
He was still cursing.
This rough man's appearance was exactly the same as what Alka remembered.
Except in front of his mother, his father always looks like this in other ghost places.
This is also why Aunt Marcy hates him. His outward behavior makes her feel that he is also very bad to his wife.
In fact, it's just the opposite.
He was devoured by his own mother.
Alka, who had figured something out, moved a little closer. He wanted to hear what his father was cursing.
"You sleep, you sleep your mother... you bastard... every time you sleep, it should be like a nightmare, being..."
Listening to his father's foul language, he was cursing Jack, whom he had just beaten to death.
He almost knew what was going on between them.
Jack might not be dead at all. The reason why his father suddenly betrayed him was most likely because of this Jack.
Come to think of it, his father fought by using cards and a staff with various spells printed on them.
It is very likely that it is not because he inherited Jack's legacy, but because Jack is controlling his body.
And my father was definitely awake in the dream.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but float down.
Sivers looked at the figure that suddenly floated down from the sky, and looked at the face of the figure.
He stood up vigilantly, took a few steps back and looked around.
Then he waved his hand.
A large number of stone-shaking cannons immediately appeared around and pointed at Alka, and the surrounding environment changed.
He stared at Alka with a frown, noticing that his dream was still under his control.
"Jack? You bastard, have you finally learned to act in your dreams?"
"No, no."
He muttered, as if denying his own words.
The figure suddenly appeared at the edge of the bubble and stuck his head out, but he couldn't get it out at all and was knocked back.
This seemed to confirm something for him?
He narrowed his eyes and came in front of Alka.
"Arka?"
Alka looked at him and nodded slightly.
"Is it really you?"
His expression became one of surprise, and then he suddenly became furious and rushed over aggressively.
He opened his mouth and yelled, "You little bastard, why the hell did you become a Toucher? Why don't you just stay on the island?"
"Why do you have to be a treasure hunter? I shouldn't have let you play the treasure hunter game when you were a kid. If I had known this would happen, I would have beaten you up so hard that you couldn't even get out of bed."
“…”
Listening to his father's cursing, Alka took a few steps back, stopped where he was, and did not interrupt him.
This is also the process of collecting information.
And through the abusive tone, some of the sentences mixed in it, and some of his habits, it was almost completely consistent with what he remembered.
This made Alka completely certain that the man in front of him was the original body's father.
Just wait quietly until he gets tired of scolding.
"Huff, huff..." After a long while, he sat down on the ground, panting.
Looking at Alka in front of him, he asked, "How did you enter the dream and come here... Well, it doesn't matter."
"Listen to me, don't face that bastard Jack. I know you want to save your captain. Is that your father-in-law? I was able to see his daughter's appearance when Jack was controlling her body. She was really good. You have a good eye..."
Looking at his father, Alka stared at him in silence as the conversation went off topic.
"Okay, okay, that's what I was talking about. Right... You want to save Andre. I will take control of his body on the day of harvest. Do your best to release him. Don't you have a fisherman on your boat? Just ask him to pick you up..."
"Oh, by the way, we have a big-headed fish man here."
"It's the Hammerhead Shark Man," Alka corrected quietly.
The air was quiet for a moment.
"Don't I know? You bastard, I need you to correct me. Don't interrupt me when I'm talking!"
"This hammerhead shark man..."
Listening quietly to his father conveying information to him.
After listening to him, Alka said, "I don't want to escape. I want to kill you."
"Um?"
"No, I mean to take out Jack."
"Um."
Sivers nodded and looked at Alka quietly, his meaning was obvious as to why.
"I have mastered a treasure, and my strength has reached the triple helix. I have also joined forces with the church, and they will act with me."
His meaning was very clear. He was expressing the basic conditions for achieving his goal and wanted Sivers to provide more information.
Listening to Alka's words, Sivers put his hands together, pressed them against his head and began to think.
After a long while, he raised his head and stared at Alka deeply.
"You grow up, but it still can't be done, because you must die."
"What's the meaning?"
As soon as Alka finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, raised his left arm, and looked at the chain on the inside of his left arm.
"As expected of my son, yes, this is the one you see."
"That damn bastard carved this chain on your hand before he left. It has two functions."
"One is to allow him to take over your body smoothly and occupy your body perfectly. This comes from a kind of secret spell, and it was carved by him using a treasure at that time."
"Second, it can save your life. If he suffers fatal injuries, he will pass the injuries to you, and you will bear the consequences for him."
"So you understand, you can't do anything to him unless you can find a way to remove the chain, or you can find a way to make yourself immortal."
"otherwise……"
Hearing his father's words, Alka looked at his arms.
This chain is actually carved with treasure?
Lucelia was right about letting herself save his life.
Alka frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's not that bad. My treasure may be able to resist death this time."
Looking at his father.
"Don't worry, that bastard is nothing but trash in the dream. I have already controlled the dream, so I can fight him until now."
He easily understood what Alka wanted to express.
Alka nodded and told others about the ability of the fake body.
Sivers frowned, thought for a while and then said, "You can give it a try. I'll tell you a curse. Keep it in mind and try it out when you get back."
"The principle of this curse is essentially the same as the chains on your hands. It's just much, much weaker in comparison. But if your fake body can bear it, then it can definitely bear the curse of the chains."
As he spoke, Sivers handed over the elements and methods of the curse to Alka.
"Right now, I have to tell you everything, including his abilities, as well as the configuration and strength of the people on the ship."
“After that, you don’t have to come again. When the curse can be endured, then you can keep the appointment. I know how to do it.
If you don't show up, it's a curse that can't be replaced, and you don't have to come."
"I will persist until the moment you actually face off against Jack."
Alka nodded, he could understand his father's concern.
"As for what happens next, you must remember it well. It's all about the treasures of that bastard Jack.
His treasures don't actually have much of an advantage in frontal combat, they are more used to develop and expand power."
"That's why he hides it like this."
