Chapter 187 Void Worm
The star realm is a restricted area of life and an ocean of truth. The aborigines are uniformly called starry sky beasts by the magic world.
The behemoths in the starry sky have all kinds of strange appearances and various abilities. They are almost like enlarged versions of magical beings. However, why they exist and who created them has not yet been determined.
Wayne had seen a giant starry beast in the Earth Center Church before, named Blue Ridge Parasite. It was huge in size, had amazing reproductive capabilities, and could supply an unlimited supply of eggs.
Weakness is fear of fire.
Today I saw a giant beast in the starry sky again, and I couldn't help but sigh.
So fucking big!
From far away, Wayne couldn't see the true appearance of the giant beast. In terms of outline, it was a long lump, like annelids, such as earthworms and lugworms with their tentacles removed.
An earthworm, magnified countless times, broke through the space barrier, crawled out with most of its body, and moved towards his location at high speed.
The wriggling worm was so huge that it perfectly satisfied Wayne's phobia of worms and giant objects. He immediately shuddered, stuffed the Shadow Nightmare into his body, turned around and ran away.
"Where can you run to?"
Orb turned his back to the giant beast in the starry sky. He noticed the sudden fear in his big eyes and laughed loudly.
Wayne may be special, with abilities that even legendary mages have no control over, but these abilities come from his bloodline, and in essence, he is just a silver mage.
The original bloodline imitated the ancient gods and opened up a new path of evolution. Orb was starving for it. Wayne was not worthy of such an excellent bloodline and should be given to him.
Thinking of this, I laughed again.
He did not rush to catch up with Wayne. He happily watched the other party looking for a way out. With a condescending mentality, he saw the struggle, the helplessness, the loss of fighting spirit, and the desire for life.
As it should be!
This is the despair that Silver Mage should feel when facing a legendary mage.
Not counting the previous part, he was careless and acted rashly without finding out the details of the original body's bloodline, only to be tricked by the power of the ancient god and the death knight.
Now he has the advantage, it's for sure!
"Wayne, you have mastered so many powerful abilities, but you still perform so poorly..."
Orb is determined to win, victory is close at hand, and he feels that his life has reached its peak.
Suddenly, he noticed something ominous. The long bow in his hand flashed brightly and dimly, and the frequency became faster and faster, warning that there was danger in the surrounding area.
"Danger?!"
Orb's eyes were wide open, and he didn't notice anything while radiating his senses.
He is very sensible and not as arrogant as Marshall. He is extremely cautious every time he enters the star realm. Although he is greedy, he still rejects the ubiquitous knowledge.
The question is, where is the danger?
This problem did not bother Orb for too long. He turned around and saw the source of the danger.
It was a giant starry beast with an immeasurable size, resembling a maggot, with a ferocious spiral mouthparts that expanded, and clusters of fangs spread from the mouth to the esophagus.
"Void Worm!"
Orb was shocked, his whole face turned pale with fright, and he subconsciously wanted to open the door of truth and run away.
Failed!
The magic world has explored the star realm countless times. The main force is legendary mages, and occasionally there are golden mages who are not afraid of death. They continue one after another just to seek the truth.
These mages opened the way with blood and summed up valuable experience for those who came after them.
Among them is the illustration of the starry sky beast.
According to the illustration, the Void Worm is a starry behemoth at the top of the food chain. It is huge in size and has amazing abilities. It has the terrifying power of solidifying space and chewing space tunnels to create wormholes.
Being targeted by such a guy, the space is solidified with nowhere to escape, and it is basically hopeless.
Of course, there is no way to survive.
Since the detailed information about the Void Worm is described in the illustration, it means that someone escaped from the insect's mouth and narrowly escaped death. It is not without hope.
Void worms are very greedy. If you sacrifice a teammate, no, if you run faster than your teammates, you can escape from the worm's solidified space.
Orb was still in shock. He remembered the method to save his life in the illustrated book. He waved up a piece of darkness and summoned all the obelisks peacefully.
The sacrificial rations were not obelisks, but the boys and girls adopted by Doreen.
Orb didn't care much at this time, and the obelisk didn't bother to care. He threw down a pile of blood food according to the void worm and rushed towards Wayne's direction.
As he ran, he cursed the unreliable illustrated guide in his mind.
According to the experience summarized by the predecessors, although there are many starry sky beasts, the star realm is endless. As long as you don't stay for a long time, the possibility of encountering a starry sky beast is extremely low.
Natives like void worms, which have no natural enemies, are very few in number, and the possibility of encountering them is even lower.
Orb was furious. He had just reached the astral realm with his front feet, but had not yet stood firm on his back feet. He didn't even say a few words. Why did he encounter a void worm that was actively hunting for prey?
What a bad luck!
The Void Worm moved at an extremely fast speed, smashing into the four-sided platform and swallowing dozens of unconscious members of the Moonlight Church. It squirmed a few times in its mouth and spat out the unchewed obelisk.
A few snacks could not satisfy its craving, and it pursued the direction of Wayne. The space solidified, and the hunting net was spread out. This time, it wanted to try everything.
It's been squatting in Wayne for a long time!
The last time I chased Wayne to nibble was the last time, and I just barely tasted the sweetness. This time I won’t miss anything.
Ever since, Wayne was running in front, Orb was chasing after him, and finally the Void Worm was chasing after him.
Funny to say, Wayne didn't know that he had been marked by the void worm. He only thought that the giant beast was chasing the legendary mage, and cursed Orb's family as he ran.
Don't come over here!
From Wayne's point of view, Orb had to support him before he died. If he couldn't live, he wouldn't let others live.
Orb didn't know either. He really thought he was a legendary mage. He was so fragrant that he attracted void worms to feast on him and run away like crazy.
He was betting that he could outrun Wayne.
At this time, Orb no longer cared about Wayne's body. His body was more important, and surviving was better than anything else.
As for his unscrupulous traitorous behavior, it is not a big problem. Gangplank has already taken the blame. As long as all witnesses are killed, he will still be the Deputy Minister of Magic who is loyal to the Queen.
There were not many witnesses, just four, Wayne, Mona, Philomena, and Chrissy.
At the front, Wayne's speed suddenly increased.
He turned his limbs into tentacles, held a big eyeball on his back, and carried a magical girl on his back. He ran like the wind, a perfect miracle.
Perhaps because of the style of painting, the universe should be paired with a tentacle monster. In this form, Wayne's speed is faster than flying.
This frightened Orb, and he used all his energy to suck milk, fearing that Wayne would open the gap.
Behind them, the Void Worm roared, also chasing after them.
Wayne didn't just run around. He hung Orb like a kite and ran in a circle for a long distance. When he passed Mona, a tentacle wrapped around him and pulled him into the car.
The stigmata ensured that Mona was not crazy, but her situation was not ideal. Her eyes were blank, she responded softly to the whispers in her ears, and she felt very good about herself.
She gradually understood everything!
The tentacles rolled around, and Mona was next to Chris. Their two heads came together and bumped into each other.
Close to Wayne's big eyes, the whisper in Mona's ear became much weaker, her mind was exhausted and numb, and her trembling eyelids slowly closed.
Wayne walked around half a circle and finally found Philomena. The golden mage opened the life barrier and walked hard in the void.
The golden mage has the right to refuse knowledge and can briefly enter the door of truth. Philomena could not hold on for long. When she saw Wayne's tentacles, she gave a tired smile to her big eyes.
Three heads come together.
The tentacle monster tied up the magical girl, the royal sister, and the aunt and ran all the way to an unknown destination. After rescuing the people, they didn't know where to go next.
Today is different from the past. The last time the door of truth had an exit, you could leave once you found the goal.
This time, Orb was in charge, and the door was sealed, leaving no possibility for Wayne to escape.
"I know how to leave..."
Philomena said casually: "Give me some time, I can open the door of truth through the moon phase card, and we can leave."
"Then why don't you do it quickly!"
On the tentacle, a mouth opened.
"It's not that easy..."
Philomena leaned close to the big eyeball, spoke intermittently, and said in agony: "My mind is polluted by the starry sky. It will take some time to open the door of truth, and... what is chasing us is the void worm, which solidifies space and escapes its hunting. Only within this scope can I open the door to truth.”
So troublesome?
"Damn Orb, you opened the door of truth for nothing, now you're fine, you were targeted by a monster."
Wayne cursed bitterly. The Book of Greed was so satisfying. He was being chased with nowhere to escape. He didn't want this opportunity.
The astral space is too dangerous. Next time he comes in, he will be a hammer!
At the rear, Orb could not catch up with Wayne, and was almost caught up by the Void Worm. He used his bow to guide the arrow, and used his backhand to perform a magical technique.
The bright moonlight beam casts a layer of gray-white mist under the starry sky. It is neither peaceful nor holy, decadent and withered, full of death and corruption. The pale Moonlight Goddess appeared phantomly, pushed her hands away, and the halo of light pulsed, erecting an indestructible barrier.
Orb shot two more arrows, and the divine power of the two goddesses of the sun and nature was projected. The three rays of light merged, and the life barrier spread out, blocking the way of the void worm.
This is his strongest defense!
At this time, Wayne rushed to the vicinity of the broken platform.
Philomena was in a daze and was shocked to leave the solidified space. She resisted her tired thoughts and summoned four stone tablet cards to cycle through the moon phases to forcefully open the door to truth.
A loud bang!
The void worm gnawed at the life barrier. Feeling that the prey was about to run away, it roared and sped up its crawling speed. It took only a few breaths to catch up with Orb.
It didn't let go of the piece of fat around its mouth. Although it wasn't a main meal, it was suitable as an appetizer.
Storm inhalation!
Orb fell into the storm whirlpool, and fell into the mouth of the void worm. His broken robes made a hunting sound, and the flesh and blood all over his body was peeled off the bones by the strong suction force, and he screamed in pain.
When life and death were in danger, he didn't think much and threw the long bow in his hand into the bottomless esophagus of the worm in a desperate move.
The longbow is of extraordinary appearance and is a rare magic item that belongs to Wayne. If you take a closer look, you will find that this longbow is a treasure he lost many years ago.
Buzz buzz————
Dark red, pale, and pale green are mixed together, and the three-color flames intersect, symbolizing the cycle of destruction and creation. The strange flames finally merge into a gray color, raising a pair of dragon wings that cover the sky and the sun, transforming into a giant dragon. Rampage within the gullet of a void worm.
The gray dragon's temperature is astonishing, and it has the terrifying destructive power of distorting space.
The void worm has rough skin and thick flesh. Although it has not been cooked by the flames, it still feels like it has swallowed a mouthful of charcoal fire and rolled on the spot in pain. Dark green juice is continuously secreted in the mouth.
It endured the pain and continued to inhale the storm, swallowing all of Orb's bones, flesh and blood into its belly.
The powerful attraction seemed to have a black hole inside, and even the legendary mage's mind could not escape. As the flame was extinguished by the green juice, it was swallowed by the void worm together with the longbow fragments.
After tasting a piece of pastry with a shell, the Void Worm was deeply dissatisfied. It was delicious, but it was too prickly.
On the other side, the meal that the void worm covets is busy squeezing into the door of truth.
Philomena worked hard to open a trail, but Wayne was not very satisfied. He patted his butt, pointed at the obelisk and asked to take it away with him.
It was impossible to take her away, not even Philomena, who was exhausted, could not do it.
She was so dizzy that she did whatever she was told, and the person who made the request was her boyfriend. She didn't care whether she could bear it or not, and just did as she was told.
The moon phases alternated, Philomena's thinking was overloaded, her magic power was consumed too much, and the bleeding from her mouth and nose was directly drawn away.
The space where the Door of Truth was located went berserk, and the obelisk fell into a black crack and disappeared. With sharp eyes, Wayne discovered that the place where it fell was a blue sea.
There was no time to pick it up, so he rushed into the Gate of Truth with three trophies on his shoulders.
The dark passage closed, leaving only the Void Worm, furious, spitting dark green juice to mark the feeding place.
Keep squatting!
If you can squat once, you can squat a second time. It can afford it, and you will definitely have a big meal next time!
————
Full Moon Cathedral.
Orb died, the dark realm disappeared, and the projected ruins of the ancient city disappeared.
The cathedral was deserted. The light of the full moon shone through the gorgeous stained windows, and the shadow of the statue of the Moonlight Goddess was clearly outlined.
The big eyes put the three beauties down, teleporting the shadow nightmare away immediately, and the tentacles turned back into hands and feet to guard against the last enemy.
Thousand-Eyed Demon!
Orb did not drag the Thousand-Eyed Demon's mind into the star realm. The latter was still alive and lurking in a corner of the surrounding area.
The result was not very good. Wayne stayed in the concave shape for five minutes and did not wait for the Thousand-Eyed Demon to appear.
"He escaped again?"
Wayne felt dissatisfied. Over and over again, the devil's vitality was too tenacious.
After confirming that there were no demons waiting around, Wayne ended his fusion with the Book of Greed, and tore Philomena's robe naked.
Hiss!
He pulled off a piece of fabric and tied it around his waist, barely blocking the murder weapon.
The space shattered with a click, and Renata carried Gunther out of the space crack.
Seeing Wayne, Renata tilted her head. According to Gunther, this was her colleague. It was a pity that she had no memory, otherwise she could have exchanged a few words.
"Mr. Wayne, are you okay?" Gunther stepped forward and asked.
"Please give the dialogue some depth. Do I look like something is wrong?"
Wayne snorted. He recognized Renata. She suffered a lot last time. If he hadn't had a lot of cards, he would have been swallowed by the gate of hell.
"The traitor in the Ministry of Magic is Deputy Minister Orb Windsor. He opened the Door of Truth and was eaten by the Void Worm..."
Wayne briefly told the story, shook his head and said, "The bad guy is like this. He clearly has an absolute advantage, but he wants to bring about his own death and can't stop him."
The more Wayne thought about it, the more ridiculous he felt. Orb opened the door of truth and called for the starry beast to start a banquet, but he ended up dead without any body parts.
Behind the ridiculousness, it also shows that the star realm is terrifying and must be taken as a warning.
Gunther doesn't think so. Orb's death from the mouth of the void worm is just Wayne's one-sided statement and is not worthy of belief.
The truth is that the angel killed him!
Yes, that's it.
Gunther was a smart man. Seeing that Wayne didn't want to admit it and found a reason, he simply didn't point it out and asked doubtfully: "Mr. Wayne, was it you who killed the Thousand-Eyed Demon?"
"No, I thought he was killed by you." Speaking of this, Wayne glanced at Renata.
Renata shook her head, and Gunther said: "The Thousand-Eyed Demon is dead, and his mind was completely erased. It was not our fault..."
Are there any experts?
"Are you sure that the devil is dead and not running away?" Wayne asked in surprise.
Gunther glanced at Renata and said firmly: "I'm very sure. We were a step too late. There was nothing left of the Thousand-Eyed Demon. I thought it was you who took action personally."
"no."
Wayne was silent for a moment, and the mantis stalked the cicada, suspecting that the Thousand-Eyed Demon had died at the hands of another legendary wizard from the Ministry of Magic.
He analyzed the legendary mage's motives for taking action, and after much deliberation, it made the most sense to kill him and silence him.
Orb also has accomplices!
This comrade participated in Orb's plan throughout the whole process, and also met with the Thousand-Eyed Demon. Seeing Orb losing every game, he decisively killed the Thousand-Eyed Demon and erased all traces of his existence.
"That's not right. He has not entered the star realm and is not in the life force field. Why do you think Orb is destined to lose..."
Wayne murmured to himself that the disputes between the Ministry of Magic and the Ministry of Magic are too complicated. There are only 25 people per capita + political opponents + little stabbing experts. It is impossible to make a conclusion at the moment whether they are the same party.
So, who is it?
Wayne couldn't figure it out and decided to leave the problem to Auston, who might know something hidden.
…
Ten minutes later, Yvette, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic, arrived belatedly. When she saw the Moonlight Church stronghold in disarray, she smiled.
She put on a worried face, walked quickly to Wayne, and asked about the cause and effect.
Wayne informed the process of the deleted version, and Yvette was dumbfounded: "Orb, how could it be him? Shouldn't it be Gangplank?"
"Which Gangplank is the director of Hongyelin Lunatic Asylum?" Wayne was also shocked.
I’m not familiar with it, can you elaborate on it?
It would be best if he died so that no one would snatch his ancient silver coins.
Yvette asked again and again and confirmed that Orb died in the star realm and became a meal for void worms. Then she thanked Gunther and hurriedly left to return to the Ministry of Magic.
We have to go back quickly, otherwise Gangplank will be killed.
Before leaving, she whispered to Wayne: "The high priest is unconscious. Now is your best chance to show off. Remember, you represent the Ministry of Magic and must make her feel the warmth of family."
After saying that, he nodded vigorously and patted Wayne on the shoulder.
For a moment, Wayne had mixed feelings.
He laughed at the Pope's lack of strategy, the high priest's lack of intelligence, and his ability to conquer only three areas of the people. He did not accept his expectations and made twists and turns, and the Ministry of Magic was also the same.
Mona is actually himself!
