Chapter 71 Battle in the Star Boundary
Brian opened his eyes and found that he was floating in the boundless silver sea.
Soft gray clouds moved slowly in the distance, and a strange black light band twisted violently in the sky. Its two ends were too far away to be observed, while its middle was like a rope rolling on a child's fingertips. Tossing violently.
He lowered his head to see what was supporting his body, but all he saw was that his feet were in the void, surrounded by the same strange pearl-like sky.
The amazing sight in front of him made him take a deep breath subconsciously, and then he felt that his lungs were filled with something sweeter than air.
This sweet taste unexpectedly didn't make him feel like vomiting or drowning. Instead, he had completely adapted to the environment here.
He also found that he had become completely accustomed to such a simple breathing action.
"It's true." Brian nodded thoughtfully while suspended in mid-air.
He has long suspected that the so-called ideology of Sunless Woodland comes from the star realm.
Now, looking at the familiar scenery in front of him, it really confirmed his guess.
The astral plane is a vast silver sea, with no distinction between top and bottom. Gray and white wisps of light are constantly rolling like distant stars.
At the same time, it is also the country of spirit and dreams.
Most travelers who travel here will arrive in the form of disembodied souls.
It is a wonderful feeling to have your soul separated from your body.
A friend of Brian's who helped him embark on the path of a psion taught him the power of "astral travel" and led him to experience this wonderful feeling many times.
Otherwise, they would not risk crossing the star realm and reaching the main material world.
Although this is not the first time he has tried to project his soul out of his body, every time he uses this ability, he will clearly feel a strong sense of weightlessness in his soul.
Without the restraint of gravity, he, who had descended into the star realm through projection at this moment, felt as light as a feather.
However, he quickly adapted to the environment here and began to move around here flexibly.
At this moment.
A ray of silver light, like dawn on a cloudy day, spread out around him, illuminating a strange realm.
Brian found himself floating in the silver smoke, shining with colorful vortexes.
"Brother, your spirit has been linked to the ideology of the Sunless Woodland." Teemo's voice echoed in the depths of his mind:
"The Fungus Queen brought Her followers are on their way to perform a demonic ritual. You need to find the ideology of the Sunless Wood before them and stop the situation from spreading. "
"I understand." Bu. Ryan responded in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, he clearly felt a spiritual 'pull', causing him to drift unconsciously towards the colorful vortex shining in the silver mist.
If what he expected was correct, the destination of the whirlpool should be the independent spiritual space where the ideology of the Matte Woodland is located.
So, he did not resist this 'pull', but allowed this force to lead him towards the location of the ritual form in the lightless woodland.
At the same time, with a thought, the Spiritual Crystal Servant quietly appeared in front of him, suspended in mid-air, flashing with a faint blue light.
"Master, you are finally willing to let me go." The moment the spiritual crystal servant appeared, he excitedly circled in front of Brian, stretched out his cat head, and said:
"Great, you actually came to the astral plane, did you know? For psychics, the astral plane is their favorite fighting venue. By the way, what are you going to do here?"
Brian certainly understands the meaning of the Psychic Crystal Servant’s words.
Because the astral plane belongs to the realm of thoughts and dreams, and psychics major in spiritual energy.
This means that when a psychic enters the spiritual realm of the star realm, he will gain a unique advantage.
So, from the moment he stepped into the star realm.
His psychic energy points began to skyrocket wildly, at least doubling.
This feeling was like untying some kind of shackles, breaking free from the shackles of matter, allowing him to come into contact with the most primitive and essential energy.
If the wizard's magic comes from the magic network, then the psychic power of the psychic undoubtedly originates from a spiritual realm like the star realm.
At this time, he was in the astral plane, and he felt the same as a wizard in the deepest part of the magic network.
Because the spiritual energy here is as rich as a gaseous river, he can call it at will by raising his hand.
This is also the reason why many psychics who are proficient in the teleportation system often like to be the first to force the enemy into the astral battle during battle.
Brian briefly explained his purpose to the Psychic Crystal Servant, then immediately told him to shut up and go on his way.
In the silvery sea of mist.
After an unknown amount of time, Brian finally discovered a large group of fungal creatures and spores forming a bizarre procession, like ghosts, gliding forward silently.
This made him realize that the team ahead was definitely the fungus queen Zugmoy.
With a thought, he mobilized a little spiritual energy to speed up his pace.
As we get closer.
Through the thin silver mist, Brian saw from a distance that what appeared in his line of sight were myconids of various sizes. As they walked, they went crazy in front of a group of huge live mushrooms. jumping.
They also carry a nest of mossy mushrooms, and sitting on them is the Fungus Queen.
Since this is just her ideology, Brian will naturally not be afraid of her direct threats.
He saw Zugmoi wrapped in mold and mushrooms, which had been woven into a grotesque wedding dress.
Behind her are vaguely human figures, and tufts of glowing lichens and swollen fungi follow her like bridesmaids, with veils and strands of lacy mycelium.
As her followers lowered the items, the Fungal Queen rose to her feet, towering over all creatures around her.
"My fiancée"
She chanted, the meaning clear: "I am finally here."
Brian, who was hiding in the dark, followed the other person's gaze.
Sure enough, I saw a distant floating object, which seemed to be a hemisphere. It was not until it rotated slowly that I could see its true form clearly.
This is a huge head without a mandible, formed from some kind of pale rock.
The head is about the size of a small mountain, its surface is covered with lichen and large areas of mold, and its color is similar to green algae on the flat surface of the material.
Through the empty eye sockets on the skull, Brian could see that its interior was hollow and filled with all kinds of dazzling giant fungi.
There are also many tendrils and tentacle-like growths that stretch outwards and twine together to form a castle-sized brain-like fungus suspended in the center of the open space.
The moment Brian looked at the brain-like fungus in his skull, he suddenly felt strongly the soul of the Lightless Woodland.
At the same time, a set of data also popped up in his system panel:
"Contacting the source of energy."
"Successful contact with the source of energy!"< br>
"Trying to establish connection with the source of energy"
......
Seeing the prompt on the system panel, Brian immediately figured out the reason.
Before the projection of his soul, the spores Teemo sprayed on himself, in addition to being able to live in harmony with the mind body in the lightless forest, may also play a role in establishing a connection with the independent spiritual space where the mind body is located. .
If the connection is successfully established, it means that you can directly mobilize the purest source of energy in the spiritual space.
In this case, the amplification effect of his psychic spells will be greatly improved.
The increase in source energy can even give him the strength to fight against the spiritual body of the fungus queen Zugmoy not far away.
After all, the incarnation of the Fungus Queen is just formed by a consciousness.
Now that she is in a spiritual space like the star realm, apart from using spiritual attacks, she can hardly exert any of her inherited abilities.
This is the fundamental reason why Brian is fearless.
"Sure enough, no god is a fuel-efficient lamp, especially those gods from the lawful neutral and absolute neutral camps. This seems to have been calculated in advance."
Brian commented secretly in his heart. The lord of fungi whom the myconids believe in.
He vaguely felt that his encounter with Teemo on the Silk Trail was probably not a coincidence, but was deliberately arranged under the influence of certain beings.
This reminded him of a piece of history about the fungus forest.
The Fungus Forest, also known as ‘Araumeko’, is currently the largest home and sanctuary of the Myconid clan.
It is a giant fungal colony with a single consciousness, as large as the Supreme Forest of the surface world.
The elves believe that the Fungus Forest ‘Araumak’ was created by the use of magic by the Irevandar Empire, one of their many ancient empires.
Originally, Brian was convinced of the news.
After all, in the history of the elves, any wonders and wonders on the continent seem to have something to do with them.
However, when he really saw the ideological form from the lightless forest in front of him, he was connected to the source energy of this independent space.
Only then did he realize that the formation of the fungus forest was by no means as simple as the elves said.
This forest of fungi with autonomous consciousness is likely to be an incarnation of Boslophel, the god believed by the mushroom people, left in the material world.
As for the lightless woodland, the same is true.
After all, when the elves have not yet carried out their great retreat, Cormanso, the Valley, Sembia and the Kingdom of Cormyr, all of these places are covered with dense forests and belong to the territory of the elves.
The location of the Lightless Woodland is exactly in the underground world of the Kingdom of Cormyr.
It can be seen from this.
The once lightless woodland was definitely a single consciousness larger than the fungal forest.
It’s just that due to some reasons, it may be that the elves’ death-seeking behavior caused a big explosion, which led to the decline to the current embarrassing appearance.
Otherwise, the consciousness in the Aphotic Woodland would not have such an independent spiritual space and rich source energy in the astral plane.
Let alone the fungus queen Zugmoy, who will try to devour it and increase her own power.
No wonder the fungus lord promised himself benefits in advance, Brian thought to himself.
With his character, if the other party asked him to help them without giving anything, and if he was found out unintentionally, he might actually leave on the spot. After all, what he dislikes the most is being plotted against for no apparent reason.
I remembered that the Lord of Fungi would give me a gift from the Mechanical Realm of Clock Nirvana.
He thought of something most useful to him almost without thinking.
He thought that after the task was completed, maybe he could have a good talk with the other party and take the initiative to fight for it.
At this moment, Brian received the system prompt again:
"The connection of Sephiroth energy was successful!"
"You have temporarily gained the ability to mobilize Seitherium energy. !”
…………
Immediately afterwards, he clearly felt a surge of spiritual energy flowing through his body.
This magical feeling is like any energy around him can be mobilized with his thoughts.
This made him more confident in facing the Fungus Queen.
“Who!?”
A voice suddenly shouted from the bottom of his heart.
Apparently, the fluctuations generated by the connected source of energy made the Fungus Queen aware of his existence.
"Who dares to disturb my scheduled wedding?"
The Fungus Queen turned around and looked in the direction where Brian was hiding.
The spores and tentacles all over her body erupted from the surface of her body, and her eyes filled with the aura of death shone with inhuman anger.
“Go and awaken the ideology of the Lightless Glades.”
Faced with the threat of the demon lord, Brian, who had support, maintained an unprecedented calmness and gave instructions to the spiritual crystal servant beside him, "I will stop her here and delay time."
The spiritual crystal servant heard this , a space slid and disappeared in place.
At the same time, all the myconids around the Fungus Queen rushed towards him.
Brian sneered and quickly counterattacked.
In the astral plane, his psychic spells do not require any preparation at all, they are all released instantly with his thoughts.
The moment he turned his gaze towards the enemy group.
——"Mind Stab!"
A sharp spike fell from the sky, stabbed the fastest myconid, and projected it here mercilessly. The body collapsed and disappeared.
This is the difference between the material world and the astral world.
In the main material world, the "mind stab" he releases will only act on the enemy's mind, and it is impossible to stab the enemy's body in the form of energy.
But in the astral plane, which is similar to the spiritual space, it is like being in the depths of a person's soul.
This kind of psychic attack that acts on the soul naturally changes into an attack in the form of energy, which is simple, direct and deadly.
——“Psychic Blast!”
——“Mind Stab!”
……
As the first myconid fell, Brian, under the constant amplification of source energy, narrowly avoided the fungus queen's wildly surging tentacles, while causing deadly flashes of light wherever he looked. In the cold light of supernatural power, the myconids collapsed and died one after another.
In the blink of an eye, only the fungus queen Zugmoi was left alone among the surrounding enemies.
The Fungus Queen felt surprisingly furious that the enemy in front of her had wiped out her men so cleanly.
"Humble mortal, looking for death!"
She shouted coldly, and the huge spiritual energy surged towards him with thunderous momentum.
——"Second level power: shock wave!"
Bryan was unmoved and calmly stretched out his right hand. He did not choose to defend, but pointed at the Fungus Queen and gave it a shove.
This ability is similar to hitting a heavy hammer deep in the enemy's mind, but in the astral plane, his ability is blessed by the purest source of energy.
So, it became a shock wave in the true sense.
A dazzling light wave as thick as a bucket emerged from the palm of his hand, cutting through the silver mist like a sharp arrow, and instantly collided violently with the violent energy pouring out of the Fungus Queen.
"Boom!"
The two energies collided together, and a deafening explosion broke out in the void silver sea.
Seeing that his attack was effective, Brian, who was forced back by the blast of air, took a deep breath.
He mobilized his spiritual energy points, raised his hands as quickly as possible, crossed his wrists, palms outward, aimed at the body of the fungus queen Zugmoy, and used the same move again .
In an instant, the surrounding source energy began to flow crazily into Brian's body, converging on his crossed palms.
"Boom!"
A beam of energy with a diameter of more than 5 feet, emitting a dazzling white light, rushed towards the Fungus Queen.
Feeling the dangerous energy fluctuations, a trace of fear flashed across the angry eyes of the Fungus Queen.
She raised her palms and drew an energy barrier to block the light waves.
The violent collision caused her to take three consecutive steps back, before she could barely stop the surging momentum of the light wave.
"Sure enough, it still doesn't work."
Seeing that his attack was blocked, Brian shook his head slightly and gave up his plan to kill her.
Then, he immediately adjusted his plan and prepared to pin his hopes on the ideology of the Aphotic Woodland.
However, his attacks did not stop.
Because he knows very well that the best defense is offense.
Only by continuously bombarding the Fungus Queen with his attacks, taking advantage of her illness to kill her, and overwhelming her with crazy attacks without a chance to counterattack, can the Spirit Crystal Servant gain the ability to awaken the ideology of the Lightless Woodland. Chance.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
With the increase of source energy, Brian kept a distance from the Fungus Queen, preventing her spores and tentacles from coming into contact herself, and then continuously released energy shock waves towards her body.
This was the richest battle of all the battles in his life.
Because after connecting to the source energy of this independent spiritual space, he has almost a steady stream of spiritual energy points to vent his attacks on the Fungus Queen.
Looking at Zugmoy's helpless way of resisting, Brian couldn't help but recall the players' teasing about the bottomless abyss:
When the strength allows, Shadella (the residence of the Succubus Queen) must be destroyed Visit the kilns and the botanical garden at Zindakra (the residence of Mrs. Fungus).
"Boom!"
Another fiery shock wave hit the Fungus Queen.
This time, the incarnation of the demon lord who was resisting in embarrassment was unable to dodge and was hit hard on the twisted face.
Seeing the scorched face of the Fungus Queen, Brian was not only not happy, but his face became a little ugly.
It turns out that whether they are mortals or female demons, they care very much about their faces.
He saw the crazy demon lord scream angrily, the tentacles around him twisting wildly like the snakes on Medusa's head, and the whole person's aura suddenly changed, as if the demon lord's The true body arrives.
——"Asteroplasmic Barrier!"
Brian gathered the surrounding source energy as quickly as possible and released a thick force field energy barrier to himself.
"Bang!"
The fungus demon queen's hateful attack was like a majestic thunder, hitting the barrier in front of Brian's eyes and exploding with a loud bang.
Suffering the impact, Brian felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if he had been hit by a battering ram, and his weak body flew backwards in an instant.
This soul projection was almost destroyed by this attack.
When he raised his head with difficulty, he found that the body of the Fungus Demon Queen, transformed by her mental thoughts, also dimmed a bit with the hateful blow.
This made him secretly relieved.
"Master, the ideology of the Lightless Woodland has been awakened by me." At this moment, his spiritual crystal servant made a spatial slide and appeared in front of him in time.
Following him was a sphere emitting gray-blue light.
Obviously, the other party is the thought body that was almost forcibly married by the fungus queen.
At this moment, Brian naturally had no time to think about how the Fungus Queen would get on the ball if she really married it.
After he felt the message sent from his mind body to the depths of his mind, his expression turned cold. He endured the pain in his chest, crossed his wrists, and once again released a powerful shock wave at the Fungus Queen.
The moment the raging white light beam shot out, the gray-blue light ball instantly merged into it.
This dazzling beam of energy cut through the silver sky amid the horrified screams of the fungus queen Zugmoi, crashed into the body of her soul projection, and collapsed without a trace.
“The target is dead!”
“Extract the target’s soul energy.”
"Gain experience points: 15,000 points!"
…………
