Hevinia's condition is much better than Edwin's. After all, with the blessing of the seven notes, she can slowly recover as long as she is not killed on the spot.
"It's probably the corpses of the gods you just mentioned." Hevinia said lightly, "I feel divinity in them, and a very familiar feeling..."
Hevinia didn't know if it was her illusion, but she seemed to sense the power of Visas in those creatures.
"Is that so?" Edwin still felt his head buzzing. "I didn't notice it. It's just too noisy. These things are really... huh?"
He suddenly thought of something and said belatedly.
"Wait, if all these guys go up, doesn't that mean... the space down there is empty?! Hahahaha, then we can deal with one less kind of creature... cough cough cough cough." Edwin started coughing violently before he could finish his words.
Hevinia frowned slightly.
Because she found that there was something wrong with Edwin's voice, she immediately lit the torch and shone it at Edwin.
Only then did she realize with surprise that Edwin's face was covered with wrinkles. He seemed to have aged more than ten years in an instant, as if he was about to be buried!
"Why are you looking at me like that... cough cough cough, I, what's wrong with me?!"
In the firelight, Edwin also saw his hands that were old and withered like chicken claws, and his eyes widened immediately.
"I, I, why is this happening?!"
Edwin's body kept shaking, and in just a few seconds, he aged a little bit.
"It seems to be those things that just flew out." Hevinia thought, "Can they absorb the lifespan of humans? No...it should be vitality."
Hevinia glanced at her body and found that she was not affected. She thought it was the effect of the seven notes.
"It seems we can't go on any further." Hevinia raised her head and looked at the exit above. "Let's go back first and see if there is any way... Are you listening to me?"
Helvinia noticed that Edwin was shaking his head and muttering, "No, I can't do this... I'm almost there, almost there... I can't do this."
"What are you crazy about?" Hevinia felt that something was wrong with Edwin, so she asked again.
But Edwin still did not respond. Under the dim firelight, Edwin's old eyes were full of dullness.
Could it be...
Bad suspicions arose in Hevinia's mind again, and when she looked at Edwin carefully again, she was sure that her suspicions were true.
Edwin's brain had aged along with his body.
Now he really has become an old man who is about to be buried. His thinking ability has deteriorated beyond recognition. He can't even hear Hevinia calling him. It won't be long before he doesn't even know who he is.
Damn, could the creature just now actually do this?
Hevinia frowned tightly.
This was truly an unexpected situation. She didn't know how to relieve Edwin's current condition, and she didn't dare to use magic rashly, lest it lead to some weird things.
So what should we do now? It is obviously impossible to go deeper, but
Bring Edwin along?
But it's not safer up there than here, and Edwin is now a complete burden.
While Helvinia was lost in thought, Edwin was still mumbling to himself.
"I'm already here... I'm almost there... I can't turn back..."
He slowly turned his head and looked into the abyss in front of him, and there seemed to be a voice echoing in his mind.
There is no other choice but to take him upstairs. The longer he stays here, the more dangerous it will be.
