Volume 4: The End of the World Chapter 72
Will the damage from falling be considered a blunt attack?
This was the first thought that came to William's mind after he came to his senses.
However, this is quite reasonable. At least it's not like in the game, where falling from a height exceeding a certain limit will result in instant death regardless of the thickness of the health bar. Even in the main storyline, the player was slapped hundreds of meters away by the King of Dead Blood, and when he came back, he was just a ruthless man with some dust and scratches on his face.
And such a person, who fell from nine meters without any injury, died on the spot after falling from ten meters... Isn't this ridiculous?
Looking at the dark oval black gem on the little finger of his left hand, William waved his hand to remove the soft film between him and the huge rock. Then he stroked the small bump on his forehead and bared his teeth.
Even with the protection of protective gear and accessories , William still felt as if he was punched in the head when he fell headfirst onto the rock.
After calming himself down and shaking his head like a drowned dog, he began to think about what had happened before.
First, when he was halfway through the flight, everything became silent, as if someone had pressed the mute button; then the magic he chanted became a mess, and he went completely out of control afterwards.
There are countless ways to interfere with other people's spellcasting , but in William's impression, there seem to be only two people who can completely block one's own spellcasting like this - the iron-hearted widow Air who activated the Iron Oath, and the demon general "Silence" who opened the silent field.
The former is to make the laws of the world dead, causing all creation to dry up and solidify rapidly, while the latter is to silence all sounds and directly block the chanting of magic.
William dusted himself off and stood up. He looked around - trees were breaking, rocks were shattering, and the flames from his hard landing were igniting the dead branches around him, but everything was still silent...
Very good, it is now clear who is the mastermind behind my previous fall.
Thinking of this, William looked up at the collapsed wreckage of the Star Lighthouse not far away...Sure enough, when the Star Law was established, it was not only Valk who buried mines under the foundation of the lighthouse.
God knows how many of the 24 star lighthouses on the continent have similar time bombs buried underneath them.
But speaking of it... the most bizarre thing about the whole thing for William is that he is currently in another timeline of Ravenwood.
Why didn't Ms. Planner bury Silence in the Star Lighthouse of the normal timeline, but placed it within Camilla's control?
But before William could think about this question in detail, a figure trying to hide himself behind a smoke screen not far away immediately attracted his attention.
Although he couldn't hear any sound, his top-level "perception" still gave him the keen vision of a top hunter.
Who's there?
"——?"
I opened my mouth subconsciously, but only blank sound came out of my throat.
After realizing that he was doing something meaningless, William chose to take action and rushed forward.
"!"
He easily stopped the guy who was hunching over and trying to run away, but after seeing clearly who this person who was both familiar and unfamiliar to him was, William couldn't help but be stunned.
Floral? Why is she here?
The person in front of him was 80% similar to Floro from another timeline - the main difference was the pale and bluish skin, and the signs of corruption and ulceration all over his body.
Although Floro on the other side is also an undead, she is obviously much more concerned about maintaining the "freshness" of her body than the one in front of her.
The other person was also looking back at him with shocked eyes - his mouth, with gums exposed due to ulceration, kept opening and closing, as if trying to say something.
At the same time, William couldn't help but ask the question he wanted to know most at the moment.
So, the two of them just opened their mouths to each other in the air for a few seconds... After realizing the problem at the same time, they stopped at the same time in tacit understanding.
The atmosphere suddenly fell into an awkward silence.
It was at this moment that a figure flew backwards, just in time to break the awkwardness between the two.
Like a ball being thrown over, but without any sound, a tall male forest elf was pierced by a black spear covered with serrations and flew backwards. After breaking several twisted dead trees in succession, he was finally nailed to the rock that William had hit before and stopped.
Black blood flowed from the corner of the man's mouth, and the translucent outline of the beast wrapped around him gradually faded away like painted sand blown by the wind. He gritted his teeth and tightly grasped the sawtooth spear inserted in his abdomen, and the muscles in his hands bulged as he tried to pull it out.
Seeing this, William immediately rushed forward and held him down.
The use of this jagged black mist weapon is one of the characteristics of the Whispering Queen's Clan. In the game, if you directly treat the wound caused by this weapon, a very long-lasting bleeding effect will be applied.
Therefore, it must be dispelled first before treatment can be carried out.
Although he temporarily pinned the opponent down, when William was about to chant the dispel spell, the ritual constructed in the etheric domain was once again activated and failed due to the silencing effect of this quiet domain.
Not only that, the man in front of him who looked very similar to Wu Mu saw that he was trying to stop him from treating his wounds. Maybe he thought that he was going to take advantage of the situation? In short, he immediately began to struggle and resist fiercely.
With the blessing of the beast spirit, the opponent's sudden burst of strange power really made William, who had no corresponding spell blessing, feel that he could not control it.
Oh my...it's so troublesome...
Unable to use magic to calm the other party down, nor able to explain or remind him, William simply let go of his hand in annoyance.
Of course, the most important reason why he let go was that he caught a glimpse of the guy who caused all this floating over from the corner of his eye.
Anyway, no matter what, as long as I can deal with that guy, most of the current troubles can be solved at the same time, right?
Speaking of which, in the past, I used Judgment IV with Blake to completely kill "Silence". Therefore, the "Silence" that reappeared now should not recognize me.
In other words, the other party will at least not distance itself from you and try to run away when it sees you.
If that's the case, then it shouldn't be too troublesome for me to exile the other party.
…………
The moment she saw the man appear, Flora felt as if her head was split in half.
Half of his consciousness rose outside his body, looking down at his own skin - the rotten, festering, pale and bluish skin, and the surrounding forest which was not lush and green, but full of twisted and dead trees.
This was exactly the same exotic scene that Ebony had described to her earlier - a dead world and dead people.
The other half of her consciousness remained in her body. She was still surrounded by lush forests, and she was still the daughter of the forest elves chosen by the Holy Tree Mother since she was a child.
It is like two similar yet completely different histories, observed from two different perspectives, and as for which one will eventually become reality, you need to make your own choice.
The consciousness floating outside the skin, after seeing clearly who the man was, the memories that were originally suppressed by the flesh gradually became clearer.
Mr. Judge?!
She tried to shout.
Yet her call went unanswered.
Transmitting sound through the soul is something that only powerful storm mages who are proficient in the essence of the soul can do.
What's more, at this moment the entire area was completely silent by that strange existence, and consciousness could not be transformed into language.
The feeling of schizophrenia only lasted for a short moment, and Flora's floating consciousness was quickly pulled back into the body. It was like waking up from a dream in the middle of the night, and then quickly catching the tail of the dream and falling asleep again. Her consciousness once again fell into a dreamlike state.
But this time, Flora was sure that she was dreaming.
Her body must have been tampered with by a powerful being before, causing her to be controlled by her body's own memories.
When Flora regained consciousness, she happened to see the man, holding the magic medium in his hand, and walking slowly towards the thin and mouthless woman floating in the air.
“——”
Although he didn't quite remember the other party's specific identity, in Flora Lomo Lake's impression, the other party was an extremely powerful magic caster.
Very powerful, even more powerful than myself.
But no matter how powerful his magical attainments were, the enemy he faced was an out-and-out killer of magic casters...
In front of that being who could render all chants ineffective, even the most powerful magic caster would not be her match.
But at this moment, any reminder seems too late.
In other words, there was no way for me to remind him at all.
The man slowly walked to the front of the strange woman, and as he walked, he took out a heavy and rough lead-colored magic medium from a space crack. The woman saw this and landed lightly, and the black smoke around her turned into several weapons with barbs.
Her eyes, which were deeper than darkness, were fixed on the poor magic caster who walked carelessly in front of her. Although the other party had no mouth, Flora could feel that he was smiling at this moment.
Then, Flora could only watch as the man raised the magic medium in his hand and began to try in vain to chant...
“——!”
Things happened ten times faster than described. The opponent swung the thick lead-colored magic medium in his hand and smashed it directly on the woman's crown, causing a colorful light to burst out in the silence.
