Chapter 341: Four Stages
The camp where Alka and his friends are.
Doll girls can be seen patrolling outside the dense forest.
Some puppet girls can be seen hiding their figures on the vertical branches.
Even Xia Daiti and the others were standing outside chatting, but Jason, who was sitting on the dragon's back, could clearly see that they were in a relatively alert state.
"What's going on? Why are you suddenly so alert?" Jason asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Boogie."
Jason frowned when he heard Urulius' words : "Magic power?"
Suddenly I thought of something, closed my eyes and began to carefully feel the changes around me.
As they got closer and closer to the camp, they could already feel the surrounding magic power gathering towards the camp, as if there was a whirlpool there.
Sensing this change, Jason immediately opened his eyes: "Is Alka about to break through?"
"Be careful, we are landing on the periphery."
Urulius nodded, flapped its wings to form a streak of light, and then landed lightly next to Xiadaiti and the others.
"Are you back? How was it, did you catch him?" Simon asked when he saw Jason landing.
Jason got off Urulius' back, patted him, and then shook his head.
"It's just a small fry, no information at all."
Hearing this, Simon nodded. This was normal, most of the people they caught were like this.
"These cultists are getting more and more annoying lately," Simon said.
Hearing this, Juanlu next to him glanced at him and said, "A new cult has arrived, with an icon of a giant snake wrapped around a tree trunk."
As he spoke, he handed them a piece of cloth he had obtained.
Xia Daiti looked towards the location of the Fragrance Town and murmured to himself, "It seems that the flower fairy is indeed about to fully revive."
In the past few months, ever since Alka gave the flower fairy the divine essence that she needed.
The evil cults in the giant tree habitat seemed to be enraged by something and frantically sent various groups to the place to cause damage.
In addition to the cult led by the member of the Nafas family, there are three other cults, and now there is another one.
How come there are so many cults in such a small place?
With them came some pirates and bandits.
Now this place can be said to be a place of chaos and chaos.
The problem is that those strange undead spirits at the junction of life and death seem to be activated and keep attacking the land of spirits.
They could often see wounded soldiers returning from the Fragrant Land, and conscription teams could be seen in every village gathering place.
Various types of militiamen patrolled and guarded the surrounding area day and night, and it seemed that the entire land of spirits had entered a critical period.
And now they have almost become long-term mercenaries of the Land of Fragrance, mainly because there is a member of the Nafas family among these cult groups.
The information they have received now is that this member of the Namage family is still in the giant tree habitat and has not returned here.
"By the way, we got the latest news from Gilliana and the others." Xia Daiti suddenly thought of something and said.
Hearing this, everyone turned to look at her.
"They have the latest news about that Nafas. I heard that he has come here to continue his chaotic activities."
"You're finally here. It must have been tiring to wait." Jason said with a smile.
The surrounding magic power began to rotate in large quantities, and the pulling force became clearer.
Sensing this change, everyone looked into the woods.
"Is this the final stage?"
“It should be.”
Alka was now in the woods, in the middle of their camp.
The whole person was floating in the air, and the magic gathering stone and the matching crystal above his head were madly drawing magic power from the surroundings.
Alka's mirror and the dream catcher floated beside him, spinning.
The concentrated magic power gathered around him, flowing into his body like water.
Inside his body.
There were three groups of spirals, nine rings in a group, and they began to move closer to each other under the pressure of powerful magic.
The original nine rings have almost completely overlapped, and if you don't look closely, it seems that there are only three rings.
The distance between the overlapping parts began to approach zero, and only a faint gap could be seen.
When the three groups of spirals are completely combined together to form a group.
A large amount of magic power gathered on top of this thick spiral, forming a new spiral that was as thin as a hair compared to the one next to it
But this new spiral indicated that Alka had successfully entered the fourth stage.
Breaking through spiral 27, we arrived at spiral 28.
The magic power rotated and formed a circulation in his body. The circulation formed by the magic power was larger in quantity and more concentrated in concentration than before.
The improvement in the quality of magic power also began to be fed back into other areas of Alka's body.
The heart, blood vessels, muscles, bones, even the brain, and the most mysterious soul.
All of this is moving upward under the influence of magical quality.
The original separation between the spirit and the body began to dissolve, and they became closer to each other and more closely connected.
Although there is still a split compared to normal people, it is no longer as dangerous as before.
The distance between them has reached a very safe area, and Alka himself no longer needs to worry about his reality and spirit being completely separated due to some circumstances or accidents.
The mirror surface appeared in front of him, and then sank below him. Two crystal clear antlers grew on his head.
Now this state of complete control no longer requires accepting the power of dreams, but can be achieved by force.
This situation will become the norm.
He stretched out his right hand, and the dream catcher's crystal ball spun in his hand.
In the clear crystal ball, the pink mist filled it, swirled and twisted under Alka's control.
He closed his eyes.
Begin to feel the changes that occur when both your body and mind reach the fourth stage.
Will it be better than only reaching the fourth stage of spirit?
"It's indeed different... The coordination and synchronization between the body and the mind has allowed me to truly and completely control the treasure."
Alka muttered to herself, sorting out the changes in her body.
At the fourth stage, he completely controlled the mirror, in addition to the physical changes brought about by imitation, and was able to perform deeper imitation.
The mirror's ability to attach mirrors is also fully controlled.
He, who used to be able to construct mirror spaces only in his dreams, can now start to create real mirror spaces in the real world.
But the problem is that there are so many things in reality compared to dreams.
In dreams, Alka can use the blood of gods and the power of kingship to combine the mirror and the dream space into a real space.
However, in real life, this operation cannot be achieved.
He can only construct a false, temporary space through the mirror.
But enough is enough. Absolutely enough.
He himself is only at the fourth stage, so this ability is completely sufficient.
I opened my eyes and couldn't help but smile.
More changes will have to wait until the magic power completely strengthens his body and soul before he can appreciate them carefully.
"call."
He exhaled deeply.
A mirror appeared in front of him and Alka walked into it.
"The suction has disappeared. It seems Alka succeeded." Xiadaiti said as he felt the magic around him calm down.
Just as he was about to walk into the camp with everyone else, a thin mirror appeared in front of them.
The mirror surface rippled like water, and Alka walked out from it.
Seeing Alka appearing in front of them, Xiadaiti looked at the distance between where they were and the center of the camp.
It's already over 100 meters, it must be more than 200 meters here.
And it wasn't like all the noise that happened when Alka activated an ability like this before.
"Has your ability become stronger?"
Arka walked out of the mirror and nodded, saying, "The fourth stage can fully control the treasure of the Holy Grail level."
As he said this, he gently turned over his palm.
The water surface under the feet of the crowd became clear in an instant, and the green sea surface seemed to have turned into a clear mirror.
The mirror is then reversed.
Everyone seemed to have suddenly turned 180 degrees, in a strong trance.
They looked around.
However, there seemed to be no difference between the surroundings and the outside, as if nothing had changed.
But Julia immediately sensed the difference here: "This is a fake space, without life, without any living things, dead and dull."
"As expected of you, yes, this is a false mirror space."
Alka said with a slight wave of his hand.
The surroundings were like a broken mirror, and cracks appeared in the air, as if the space was shattered.
Alka reached out and knocked hard.
The space shattered, and fragments like lenses slid down.
Everyone felt dizzy again and returned to reality.
"Complete control of the treasure?" Xia Daiti murmured to himself.
Then he sighed and said, "We are still a long way from here."
Although Xia Daiti was trying hard to catch up, her strength had only just reached the twenty-second spiral. There were still five spirals to the twenty-seventh.
Not to mention breaking through to the fourth stage.
Apart from Alka, the strongest ones are Xiadaiti and Simon, both of whom have reached the 22nd spiral in the past few days.
The rest are still a little short, but they are all in the 21 spiral.
Among them, Juanlu and Mathilda are catching up, but they are still a long way behind the others.
They all stopped at 20 spirals, which is much better than the big gap before.
Their rapid ascension seemed to come from the fact that their treasures were remade with divine essence.
It is a little higher than everyone else's treasures, and this little bit of level will make a slight difference in helping to improve strength.
About 10% more.
"You have reached the fourth stage now. How long do you plan to take... huh?" Xia Daiti asked, shaking his head.
Alka thought for a moment and said, "Just for a few days, until the changes brought about by my promotion are completely stabilized."
Everyone nodded and returned to the camp.
Alka stayed outside the camp alone. He needed to train and adapt to the changes after he was promoted to the fourth stage.
Fortunately, he had experienced the four stages in his dreams for a long time, so it was more of a matter of familiarity.
If he were to go into battle right now, he would be able to display his full potential perfectly.
The main purpose is to experience the connection between the mirror space and the dream catcher in reality.
After all, there is still a difference between reality and dreams in this regard.
Thinking of this, Alka stretched out his palm again.
The surface of the water where he was once again became like a mirror, and then Alka's entire body turned over, as if it had rotated 180 degrees, and appeared in the space in the mirror.
Stretch out your hand.
With a slight flip, the sea water under your feet began to reverse in an instant, and as it reversed, it began to pour down.
After turning to the side, the sea water began to slide down like a landslide. Alka stood on top, and his feet had stepped on a surfboard without him knowing.
Walking on the waves on the sea surface, stretching out your hands and turning them back and forth, the waves begin to spiral.
"Although it cannot exist as truly and permanently as in a dream, it still retains the ability to control and adjust the direction at will."
Alka said as he let the dream catcher's crystal ball float out, landing on his shoulder and floating quietly.
The world in the mirror returned to normal and calmed down in an instant.
The two crystal clear antlers once again grew out from Alka's forehead.
Weird wild patterns appeared on his face.
A large amount of pink mist filled the entire space in the mirror in an instant.
Through the fog, you can clearly see the boundaries of this world. It is not a direct replica of the entire world as it appears.
It does have a boundary, but you can't see the air wall at the boundary.
The distant view is nothing more than a deliberate texture, a fake image reversed by a mirror.
As the fog filled the area, the entire dream space reversed in an instant and entered the dream world.
Exactly the same as in the dream world.
This is a dream world that is both false and real.
It has dream-like properties, but it is not a real dream world.
After doing this, Alka finally showed a happy smile on his face.
"Perfect, perfect fit."
How could Alka hold back the smile on his face when he felt how compatible these two pieces of equipment were with each other?
When they reach the fourth stage in the spiritual dream world, such changes cannot be reflected. After all, they are indeed in the dream world.
However, the particularity of the changes in reality after entering the fourth stage becomes apparent.
Alka is able to replicate the environment of the dream world through a false, temporary mirror.
You have to know that Alka became Mirmi through mirror simulation, and his characteristics and strength in the mirror are in the dream world.
Even though the dreams reproduced in this mirror world are false, they are highly similar to the dreams themselves.
This is equivalent to a field that is unique to Alka himself and can greatly strengthen him.
The downside is that if the enemy also has the ability to be improved in dreams, they will also be improved.
Alka believed that for the time being, no one would be promoted more than him.
A descendant of the gods of dreams, one of the kings of dreams.
And the hunter in the dream.
What these bring is the strengthening of the mechanism.
Much more useful than any buff.
Of course, there is also a real premise, that is, the enemy does not break the boundaries of this space.
After all, this is a false thing. As long as the power is enough, it is entirely possible to break this space.
But Alka believes that this space has an absolute future. As his strength grows, the false mirror world will be able to expand more and more.
Until a great war breaks out, and the boundaries become completely indistinguishable.
A round mirror appeared in the mirror world again, floating next to Alka.
What you see in the mirror is the real dream world.
The energy of gold and silver floated out from the mirror.
Alka looked at the energy of gold and silver that had gathered in his palm, which he had just extracted from his dream.
Compared to outside the mirror, the amount extracted from the dream world is much greater.
Obviously, in this simulated dream world, there is very little loss and more can be accomplished.
The connection here with the dream world is a little closer.
If I were here, even the distance between dreams and reality would not be that far.
This place can even serve as a temporary transit station to reduce unnecessary losses in certain situations.
Very satisfied.
Alka was very satisfied with the changes brought about by the combination of the two treasures.
They complement each other.
Gently squeeze your palm.
A crack like a broken mirror appeared in the boundary space not far away, followed by a crackling sound.
It turned into mirror fragments that shattered and floated in the air.
In the reflected light, space disappeared and reversed, and Alka returned to reality.
