return to edgar

Chapter 58 Ladder

The Pillars of Water gather more naga, and these creatures are much friendlier than the druids of the Pillars of Earth.What Link gained most from his arrival was curiosity, and he didn't feel any suspicion or hostility at all.He couldn't help but wonder about the time period he was in at the moment. The Silver Age seemed unlikely. At that time, the undead had already risen, the Golden Age?It's possible... Before the chaos of the gods, many creatures lived together, not divided into races and camps as they were later.

"Messenger of Gasos, do you want to participate in the trial of the water god?"

A particularly tall male among the naga asked. He seemed to be the leader of these naga. Link, who didn't know the situation, could only babble vaguely.From the naga group came out one after another some stronger males, with a few females among them. They gathered around the leader and chanted prayers in praise of the water god in unison.

After the frantic and passionate long prayer, the warriors who volunteered to take part in the trial took out their weapons and began to compete with each other, because Link is the Son of Nature, and he has the honor of fighting only the strongest.Unlike the harmony of the Pillars of the Earth, these seemingly friendly naga were merciless in their fights, treating their own race as cruelly as foreign enemies, and the shallow waters were soon stained red with blood.Water guns, ice arrows and other spells came and went, and soon the losers turned into shapeless corpses, and occasionally some intact ones were also frozen.

It has to be said that the ancient species were indeed much stronger than Link's era in terms of 'power'. Even the most basic and simple ice archery became very powerful after they performed it.Link looked terrified, but fortunately the peregrine falcon form couldn't see the expression, otherwise his face at the moment must be ugly.

The contest between the naga ended with a bloody beheading. The winner was covered in the blood of his people, and approached Link with a swing of his snake tail. He did not speak, and stared straight at Link with a pair of almond-yellow eyes, with the intention of inviting a battle. obvious.

The water and the ground restrain each other, and the incarnation of Isol, who has the most skills, cannot be used in the waist-high water.The fire attribute attack that can restrain water has no point. Although wind has more skills than fire, they are mostly auxiliary.The disadvantages of partiality finally emerged.

Link regained his human form, and drew out the bee stinger and the unnamed black long sword. The upgraded skills have increased, but he is still more used to fighting in this posture.

There was a burst of exclamation in the Naga group, the natural child of human beings is not common in any era.

The Naga warrior raised his long spear, causing several ripples on the water surface, and the high-speed water gun's spray lethality was no worse than that of the wind blade.

Rock skin, swift wind, brute force, and certain kill, four auxiliary skills were cast at the same time, relying on the hard skin to eat a water gun, Link raised his hands above his head, and used the cleave while slashing the sword Weathered into a spear of stone, the pupil of Medusa with petrification attack.Just the first blow used up six spell slots. He only hoped that this Naga would not be more difficult to deal with than the demonized Thunder.

The continuous running skills did have a good effect. The opponent seemed to know the power of Link's blow, and summoned a big blister to wrap himself.Affected by the environment, the power of the Stone Spear was greatly reduced. Even though Link's ability was temporarily enhanced, it still failed to pierce the defense of the blisters.

To test his level, Naga swung his spear, and the water beads thrown out turned into ice edges. This humble ice arrow was much more powerful than the water gun just now. Link's rocky skin was punctured in several places, and the cold and Severe pain surged up the veins.Link's natural healing had no effect at all, and he couldn't restrain the coldness spreading all over his body until he used Resurrection.

The newly realized Strike the Enemy is a very practical skill, but it's a pity that Link has already used all three special skills before entering the portal. He can only use intelligence analysis on Naga. It's okay not to look at it. He almost vomited blood.

Naga warrior, lv30, Pillar of Water Druid.

There are too many leapfrog challenges, and I will definitely lose. According to their merciless style, even if I am the Son of Nature, if I lose, there is probably nothing good to eat.The best way is to use skills beyond the level, but Isol's power is bound to be suppressed in the Pillar of Water, and Kaogo, who can restrain the water, has only learned two skills, even if he uses the fire system to level up, it is not very powerful.what to do?Should we go all out with the relatively conservative and safe Fury of the Earth?Or try how powerful Kaogo's advanced skills are?

Just as Link paused for a moment, the Naga launched the third round of attacks, and the sea water receded to the surroundings, exposing the hard surface. Judging from this posture, it seemed that they were going to launch a range attack similar to a tsunami.

Link survived a desperate situation, ground!Haha~

Casting the Wrath of the Earth step by step, Isol's avatar with enhanced ability is several meters high, and the impact force of the huge antlers will push the Naga to the sky in an instant when casting the spell. The returning sea was stained red.The naga who had been watching from the sidelines cheered, and the leader swam up to pay homage to Link, who was in the form of a deer, and said that he could use the mirror of water.

Link glanced back at his opponent just now, saw that he was being dragged away by several fellow clansmen rushing up, so he couldn't help saying, "He's still alive."

"What are you talking about, losers are not qualified to live." The leader smiled, but what he said made Link's heart chill.Afterwards, the undead Naga warrior was cut into several sections by the clansmen who dragged him away, more blood gushed out, and the air in the entire sea area was filled with a strong smell of blood.

With a dry throat, Link turned back stiffly, and walked step by step towards the water mirror where the Naga warriors would fight for their lives—the pool of water under the soaring white beam of light was different from the surrounding water, showing milky white turbidity.This is the trial of Andrea, the god of water, and those who succeed can gain divine power.

When the naga all leave the arena, leaving Link alone, he transforms back into human form.

Where is this mirror?There was no smell, and as soon as his hand touched it, the water surface changed immediately, reflecting a dark room like a mirror, and the familiar furniture made Link's eyes straight.

This is the old house where he lived for more than ten years!

Painful, intermittent moans sounded, and Link's feet that wanted to back up seemed to be rooted and could no longer move.

The old man on the bed was Link's grandfather. The pain of advanced liver cirrhosis kept him awake at night and unable to eat.

Seeing the pain of the relatives who raised him so much, Link forgot the difference between reality and fantasy, and performed natural healing on the old man. The moment his grandfather's pain was relieved, a voice sounded in his mind.

【You have the ability to save him. 】

Who?

Water god Andrea?

【Do you have the heart to see him in such pain? 】The voice didn't answer, but said bewitching words.

Link shouted, "Show your identity!"

【Who I am is not important, what matters is your decision. 】The voices in my head are indistinguishable from male, female, old and young. Sometimes they are far away in the sky, and sometimes they seem to be whispering in my ear.

"How to help?"

[Your divine power, the Son of Nature possesses unimaginable power, as long as it is injected into his body, he can be resurrected from the dead. 】

The word back from the dead reminds Link that Grandpa is dead.

"The dead cannot be resurrected."

[That is in reality, this is Edgar, everything is possible here. 】

For a moment, Link was really shaken.Even in the face of Kaogo's questioning, he has never been so strongly shaken.Compared with his father, foster mother and sister, his grandfather is his most important relative.For a long time, Link has been guilty of his grandfather's death. He was too stubborn when he was young, and he never wanted to communicate with his grandfather. He didn't know that he was seriously ill until his health collapsed. In order to save his tuition fees, he even refused to go to the hospital. .

The remorse buried in his heart gushed out all of a sudden, like sea water soaked in blood all around.

【You can, use the power given to you by the gods. 】Muttered softly, urging Link over and over again,【You can, you have the ability. 】

"I……"

[Using the soul to shape the body, he can survive in this world. 】

Soul energy... the soul energy that Dante gave me...

"This is left by Belfast, you take it." The face of the old dwarf appeared in Link's mind, and it became vivid in an instant.

Then came Hell, always looking unhappy, his expression changed from distrust to implied expectation: "I have never understood why Isol would choose human beings again, if it is the life weaver That's another matter."

"Hello, future guardian." Under the gentle smile, Iris's reluctance to leave the mainland and the pain of giving up his position as a child of nature are hidden. In the end, very few passed the test, do you know why?"

Link seemed to have returned to the land of protection, back to the day when he was trained by the Son of Nature, and the glowing elf asked with a serious expression.

"Because I lost to my own strength." Link remembered that he answered in this way, and the scene instantly became a multiple-choice question when installing the game. The choice is...]

There is no love, money, rights, or eternal life, and there is only an endless cycle of resurrection, resurrection, resurrection, resurrection, and resurrection in front of Link...they even change from flat to three-dimensional text, surrounding him, densely packed, almost suffocating him.

Once the extremely splendid root is lost, human beings will no longer be the human beings they are today.

The words to Kaogo are still ringing in his ears.

【hypocritical. ] said the voice in his head.

[All you think about is to resurrect your loved ones. 】

When meeting for the first time, the lich, who left a deep impression on Link even though he possessed others, said: "I look forward to a real confrontation with you, young child of nature."

The body was eroded by poisonous blood, and the gradually demonized Thunder roared hoarsely in the wilderness: "Lena—"

The repentance of the emaciated singer before her death, Su Wen's unbelievable gaze before her death... These fast-moving images stopped Link's hand from reaching for the space bag on his waist in time.

There is no real resurrection from the dead in this world, and even the resurrection in Edgar is false.This world was originally just a fantasy, a fabricated space.

[What if it is true? 】

Breathing stopped for a few seconds, and all wavering and hesitation disappeared.

"If this is a real world, it is even more unacceptable!" Link said loudly, "The reason why life is precious is that it is only once, it cannot be copied, and it is impossible to start all over again. This is the past in the illusion, I am absolutely It's not easy to gamble on the doomed past with the undetermined future!"

All illusions disappeared, and the grandpa in the mirror turned into a black-robed skeleton whose sticking bones were only a few centimeters away from touching Link.Accompanied by the cracking sound of glass, the skeleton shattered into pieces along with the mirror surface, and the sea water rose like a tsunami. Link was sucked into the bottom of the water by a big wave and sank quickly like a weight.
