The warm light of the shining star spread over Galaxia, and was cut out of a whole piece by the window of the villa, shining on Ash like a pudding.
Ash slowly opened his eyes. He sat in the bed in a daze for a while, picked up the kettle on the bedside table and poured half a glass of water into the glass. Then he picked up the glass and drank half a sip. The vibrating glass splashed water droplets on his face.
The cup was not shaking, it was his hand that was shaking.
"I'm still alive..." Ash let out a long breath, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and lay back on the bed, "I'm alive..."
Recalling the incident at Ruby Mountain, Ash still felt a lingering fear.
No one expected that a blood magic legend would suddenly appear during the civil war between the three of them.
The moment the gun was aimed at him, Ash felt as if he had turned back into a weak mortal. The trembling from the depths of his soul paralyzed all the nerves in his body. He lost all his strength, and even his life hurriedly fled his body along with the blood. The overwhelming darkness submerged him, as if the whole world was about to leave him.
This is death.
Pain is only the touch of death, loss is the essence of death.
So magicians are lucky. Even if they lose everything, they still have the virtual world as their only destination.
It was at this time that Ash realized the gap between himself and the real legend. Facing the legendary killing move, he couldn't even react. The most shocking thing was that he was only a soul, and he was only able to condense a physical body for a short time, and then was completely suppressed by the rebellion of hormones and blood, and bleeding from all seven orifices!
From this we can also see the tip of the iceberg of the legendary magician - if the one-wing magician 'uses whatever he has', the two-wing magician 'creates miracles with his heart', and the sanctuary magician can begin to 'deal with various situations', then the legendary magician 'wins the infinite with the finite'.
The world is infinite, the virtual realm is endless, and the magician system is developing every minute and every second. Even if you are a legendary magician, it is impossible to keep up with the development of the times all the time. Moreover, it is not uncommon for ancient magic to be rejuvenated and unpopular magic to emerge.
Not all miracles can be cracked. When an excellent miracle is first created, there is often no way to restrain it, and it will inevitably fail when encountering it. This period of time is also called the miracle's 'advantage monopoly period'.
Many low-level magicians believe that legendary magicians must have a trump card-level "unsolvable miracle". Although legendary magicians do have this kind of trump card, the real strength of legends lies in their ability to deal with unsolvable miracles.
When sorcerers advance their magic to the legendary realm, they will not be satisfied with the back-and-forth battle of magic, because the battle of magic is an endless arms race and there will always be miracles that they cannot solve. It is not that they are incompetent, but that the magic of each faction has its own flaws and limits.
So the legends took another path: they wanted to make the chessboard their own, so that no matter what clever moves the opponents made, they would not be able to escape the constraints of the chessboard.
Excellent miracles are "skills", excellent combat systems are "methods", and changing any environment into your own home court is "momentum".
The gunshot that Ash encountered was the beginning of the momentum.
If he was hit by a bullet, his whole body would explode and turn into a blood lotus. The blood that splashed out would be the medium for casting the Blood Spell Legend. Then the Blood Spell Legend would accumulate and explode step by step until the entire environment turned into a sea of blood.
So let alone at this moment, even if Ash reaches the peak of legend in the future, he will probably only be weakened and unable to dodge this shot. As a legendary magician's tactical starter, if there is a way to crack it, then all subsequent tactical deployments will be scrapped.
The power of the legendary magician lies in severing the connection between the enemy and the world.
When even your blood betrays you, what can you rely on?
Then, two beautiful answers appeared, becoming the only two colors in Ash's bloody vision.
After a fierce battle, the blood magic legend was defeated with a wail of defeat. However, he was definitely not going to die, but it was hard to say how many years he would be a vegetable in the **.
Although they didn't know why they killed a veteran legend so easily, the joy of defeating a strong enemy and escaping a desperate situation still made Ash and the other two excited and they high-fived each other, but the atmosphere soon became awkward again.
When Ash said, "The three of us are awesome," he was glared at by the two.
So Ash was very grateful to this blood magic legend. Although he was killed, at least the Sword Lady and the Witch couldn't continue to fight!
At this time, Diya remembered to spread the common sense of Ruby Mountain. The three of them chatted while trying to climb Ruby Mountain, and learned about the list of magicians, Ruby Angels, weather and other survival information. Sonia also supplemented her experience of legendary magicians, allowing everyone to quickly integrate into the new workplace of Ruby Mountain.
Just when Ash thought he could get away with it, Sonia said casually, "You are living in Felix's villa now, right? I know where it is. I'll come to see you tonight."
Before Diya could say anything, Ash immediately objected: "It's too dangerous to get involved with me!"
"I'm not looking for you. Can't I go find Felix? Professor Trozan happened to ask me to inform Felix about something, so it's reasonable for me to have some dealings with him. I can also tell Felix that I'm here to consult about the Four Pillars of God, which won't arouse his suspicion. Then you can tie him up, knock him unconscious and lock him in the basement, and he won't know whether I've entered the villa or not."
"And if I didn't look for you, would you dare to go to Jianhua University to look for me?"
Ash was speechless. He naturally didn't dare to go to Jianhua University to find Jian Ji. Once discovered by others, Sonia would have no choice but to run away with him - she might even want to take this romantic route.
After saying that, Sonia raised her head, turned up the corners of her mouth, and looked at Diya with squinted eyes. She almost had the words "villain succeeds" written on her forehead. She was as cute as a kitten that stole candy.
"In three days, I will open the portal from Gospel to Galaxia." Diya said leisurely, "Miss Anfield misses Aunt Borgin very much. Uncle Harvey was seriously injured and should receive proper treatment."
Diya silently hugged Ash's arm, glanced at the Sword Princess silently, her lips curved in a contemptuous arc, her eyes full of smug smile, charming like a little fox whose conspiracy had succeeded.
Sonia immediately got furious - even though she had never met Igula and Harvey, she knew how important these two men were in Ash's heart.
For example, Sonia once jokingly asked Ash, "If Igula and I fell into the water, who would you save?" Ash's answer was, "Can the question be changed to you and Harvey falling into the water?" - Even though these two guys are men, in Sonia's alert list, the threat level of these two people is only slightly lower than that of the witch and Weisser.
So as long as these two people are used as bargaining chips, Ash will definitely be fooled!
As expected, Ash didn't hesitate at all: "I will take them back when the time comes."
Sonia couldn't object yet. She couldn't even ask Ash to stay alone - it was too dangerous - so she immediately said, "I want to go too!"
"But Sword Princess, you can't give up your career, connections, and family in the Starry Sky, right?" The witch smiled and said, "When you can take control of the Starry Sky Kingdom, let Ash visit the Starry Sky as a guest, right?"
Sonia was so angry that her belly was about to burn through. She grabbed Ash's wrist, pursed her lips, her face puffed up, her eyes full of grievance and stubbornness: "You won't abandon me, will you?"
Diya's tone was also full of expectation and sadness: "We are all waiting for you to come back...you promised us."
These two sentences sounded okay at first, if you ignore the fact that they each grabbed one of Ash's hands, if you ignore the fact that they used miracles to bind Ash's arms, if you ignore the fact that they were about to tear Ash apart...
Ash almost forgot what he said to survive such a trial and torture. He finally struggled back to reality and thought he was almost going to die.
But he still has to enter the virtual realm in 17 hours, and before that, Sword Lady will come to catch him.
What to do?
After spending three seconds thinking, Ash felt that his brain seemed unable to support such high-powered thinking operations, so he decided to face life with optimism.
Why worry so much? Life is an unpredictable stage. What if he dies in the next second?
After preparing himself mentally, Ash simply washed up and opened Aurora's Magician's Manual again. Suddenly, he saw three messages pop up.
It turned out to be the long-awaited growth report.
Ash hasn't seen the growth report for a long time. It seems that the growth report has not appeared since he stopped setting up training strategies. I don't know why it appears again now.
"Death Mad Sword Princess' Growth Report 7.4~10.17"
"Bond level: 4 (75% experience sharing)"
"Swordsmanship Faction: Gold → Sanctuary"
"Light Mage Faction: Silver → Silver"
"Water Buffs: Silver → Gold"
"Time Faction: Gold → Gold"
「Space Faction: Silver → Gold」
"Magic power: Sanctuary One Feather → Legendary Zero Feather"
"Training evaluation: SS!"
"Because she received the SS-level evaluation, the Death Sword Princess received the occupation enhancement in the Magician's Handbook: Sword Demon!"
"Sword Demon·Professional Features: When the Sword Demon locks on to any target, the target will undergo a will judgment every 10 seconds. Once the judgment fails, the target will fall into a state of confusion and fear for the next 10 seconds, greatly increasing the failure rate of miracles; if the first judgment fails, the target will fall into absolute fear and be unable to control itself for 0.5 seconds."
"Because of the increase in magic power, the talent of the Death Sword Princess has been strengthened!"
"Because she received the SS-level evaluation, the Death Frenzy Sword Princess received the career assessment mission 'Sword Demon'!"
"Sword Demon: In the next 360 days, use the Sword Demon's characteristics to intimidate more than ten Sanctuary Magicians or three Legendary Magicians and defeat them. This will permanently solidify the Sword Demon's professional characteristics! Current progress is (0/10)/(0/3)."
Damn!
Even Ash was numb. The professional characteristics of the Sword Demon were too strong. It was equivalent to a legendary mental miracle, and it did not require magic power to drive it. It was triggered once every 10 seconds. Once successful, it would directly enter a state of confusion and fear.
He also wants to have such a powerful professional characteristic!
More importantly, now that Fiora has the Sword Demon profession, will she just glare at me and make me dare not resist and obey her?
But Ash soon felt relieved - even if he didn't have this profession, he wouldn't dare to resist Fiora.
Sword Princess's talents have also undergone some changes in terms of nouns:
"Inherent Talent: Sword Princess (Heavenly Rank): Gain an additional 250% swordplay experience, with a low chance of gaining 10,000% swordplay experience, and occasionally trigger the phantom of the exterminating dragon (talent level can be unlocked after strength is improved)"
The dragon species bound to Sword Princess evolved from Blade Dragon to Annihilating Blade Dragon, but strangely enough, even though Ash has now come to Ruby Mountain, he has never heard of a Blade Dragon.
"Growth Report of the Black and White Witch 7.4~10.17"
"Bond level: 4 (75% experience sharing)"
"Psychic Faction: Silver → Silver"
"Fist and Claw Faction: Gold → Sanctuary"
"Time Faction: Gold → Sanctuary"
"Water Buffs: Silver → Silver"
「Space Faction: 0→Silver」
"Magic power: Sanctuary One Feather → Legendary Zero Feather"
"Training evaluation: SS!"
"Because she received the SS-level evaluation, the Black and White Witch received the job enhancement in the Sorcerer's Handbook: Queen!"
"Queen·Professional Features: When the Queen is present, all friendly units will be inspired according to their loyalty to the Queen. The speed of spell power recovery/the probability of spell spirit resonance/the frequency of virtual inspiration will be greatly increased. At the same time, the loyalty of the inspired friendly units to the Queen will continue to deepen and increase."
"Because her magic power has been improved, the Black and White Witch's talent has been strengthened!"
"Because she received the SS-level evaluation, the Black and White Witch received the job assessment mission 'Queen'!"
"Queen: In the next 360 days, recruit 100 followers with the Queen's characteristics. After completing the task, you can permanently solidify the Queen's professional characteristics! Current progress (0/100)."
Ash blinked. He didn't expect that Diya's new profession would have a group enhancement aura, and it was extremely powerful.
Not to mention the speed of magic power recovery, the probability of magic spirit resonance is equal to the probability of critical hit. Increasing the frequency of virtual inspiration is equivalent to increasing the chance of the magician's flash of inspiration. It makes Ash want to stay by Diya's side all the time.
Moreover, the assessment task of being the queen is a piece of cake for her - she is the real queen. If she wants to recruit a hundred followers, even the Gospel Family will be scrambling for them, right?
However, this characteristic of the Queen actually makes others continue to increase their loyalty to her...
Ash pondered for a moment and felt that there was nothing to worry about - his loyalty to Liz and Diya had already been maximized!
The witch's talents also changed slightly:
"Inherent Talent: Witch (Heavenly Rank): Gain an additional 250% time experience, with a low chance of gaining 10,000% time experience, and occasionally summon the help of the Bell Bronze Dragon (talent levels can be unlocked after strength increases)."
The bronze dragon evolved into the bell-ringing bronze dragon... but Ash had at least seen the phantom of the resentful dragon once, but he had never seen the witch's bronze dragon even once.
After these two growth reports, there is another piece of news.
Ash had a vague idea in his mind, so he mustered up the courage to click:
"Youlan Weisser's Growth Report 7.4~10.17"
"Bond level: 4 (75% experience sharing)"
"Magic power: Sanctuary Kazuha →???"
"Training evaluation: SS!"
"Because of the SS-level evaluation, Youlan Weisser has obtained the occupation enhancement of the magician's manual: Silver Lantern!"
"Silver Lantern·Professional Characteristics: The areas illuminated by the Silver Lantern will be continuously silvered. Everything that has been silvered will be controlled by the Silver Lantern, destroying, purifying, changing, reorganizing, and reconstructing... The specific effects are waiting for the Silver Lantern to further explore."
"Because of the increase in magic power, Youlan Weisser's talent has been strengthened!"
"Because she received the SS-level evaluation, Youlan Weisser received the career assessment mission 'Silver Lantern'!"
"Silver Lantern: In the next 360 days, completely purify the corrupt green beasts in the Senluo world. After completing the task, you can solidify the Silver Lantern occupation characteristics permanently. The current progress is 0.8%."
Ash was stunned for a while, then suddenly punched out, creating faint ripples on the interface of the magician's manual.
“This crappy game…” He twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile uglier than crying: “Are you mocking me?”
People have become gods...trapped in the dark and distant end of the world...what's the point of continuing to give her growth reports? Are we pretending that she will meet us in the virtual world?
Ash held his forehead and lay on the bed, sighed softly, and swiped to the operator interface.
"Inherent Talent: Sima Ming (Heavenly Rank): Gain an additional 250% Truth Experience and Fate Experience, with a low chance of gaining 10,000% Truth Experience and Fate Experience, and occasionally attract the attention of the Samsara Mirror Dragon (talent levels can be unlocked after strength is increased)."
He stared at Youlan Weisser's portrait for a long time, then suddenly sat up and patted his face to wake himself up. He took a deep breath with a light in his eyes, "Yes, he didn't even give up on the magician's manual. Why am I so depressed here?"
"I must save you from the end of the world," Ash clapped his hands lightly, closed his eyes and said to himself, "I will never give up on my operators."
After checking the information, Ash was about to close the Master Manual, but he suddenly remembered something and opened the "Operator Search" interface.
