Chapter 680: World Famous Paintings

The torrent of turbulent magic power converges to the front of the staff and shoots out with pure energy bombardment.

boom! ! !

The shield built by the rune magic was instantly shattered.

The destructive power produced by the wide-area effect and wide-area magic in a single line is not trivial, breaking through the protection of "steel" still retains [-]% of its power, and continues to rush towards Chios' chest.

Seeing that the crossbow of light was about to pierce through his fragile flesh and blood, the gorgeous scabbard around Peggios's waist suddenly shone with blue light.

hum...

The gorgeous blue particles are divided into two, two into four, and four into eight... The infinite light spots that split at a high speed wrap around the youth in an instant.

In the midst of the fluorescent lights, the figure of the young man seemed somewhat illusory.

The next moment, a huge light arrow pierced through him.

However...

There is no sound of objects tearing, and there is no vibration of violent impact.

The destructive beam of light disappeared into the unknown end like something submerged under the water.The only trace of its existence is just the undetectable ripples on the young man's chest when the space fluctuates.

But even this strange phenomenon, which was too small to be captured by the naked eye, disappeared without a trace as the ruru-colored gold particles dispersed.

Riveria failed to witness this.

The blinding flash that accompanied the magic bombardment dyed her vision into nothingness.

After the persistence of vision caused by the strong stimulation faded away, what caught her eyes was a white-haired young man who was lying on the carpet a few steps away, pressing his left chest with one hand and gasping for breath.

"Hmm...cough cough!"

"Chios!?"

The purple-black ghostly aura spread all over the body, like poisonous snakes, biting the torso and limbs of the young man madly.

Riveria heard Ais report that Chios seems to have a "skill" that can change his appearance and greatly enhance various stats.

Now, she finally truly realized the essence of this so-called "skill".

That ominous aura that makes people instinctively want to avoid it is undoubtedly a curse...

And unlike any curse I've seen before, this violent, mysterious ghostly aura is extremely powerful.

As a first-level adventurer, she can't help but feel trembling physically and mentally just by looking at it.

"Ugh...damn it!"

Hearing the other party's humming in pain, Riveria rushed to Chios in a panic before she had time to think too much.

At this time, the ghostly aura entrenched in the young man seemed to be finally satisfied, and he stopped barking his teeth and claws, and slowly retreated back into the body of the boarder.

The curse fell silent, and Chios' white hair returned to its original black color.

Strangely, after eating fiercely just now, his whole body, including his clothes, was intact.

Seeing this, Riveria turned pale.

No one knows better than her how terrible this accidental explosion of magic power is.

Unlike the magic that is cast smoothly, the uncontrolled operation of magic power is not something the caster can control independently, and a large amount of magic power will be sucked away at one time.

The moment the wand was aimed at Chios, she was shocked to find that the magic power in her body was like a broken dam, pouring out against her will.

Although it is doomed to be unable to use this energy efficiently due to lack of chanting guidance, simply releasing more than 6% of the magic power of a Lv. [-] mage, its power is more than enough to destroy half of the main street.

Riveria didn't know how much Chios had suffered, but she was quite sure that the curse blocked such a powerful torrent of magic power for the other party, and it must not be without cost.

Since the goal is not flesh and blood, it must be taking away something important that cannot be seen from the surface.

For example... lifespan, youth, strength...

"Giving comes with a price"

Regardless of the curse, the principle of operation is always the same.

Thinking of this, Riveria couldn't help feeling deeply guilty and powerless.

If she was injured, even if she was dying, she could use recovery magic to heal Chios, but she was helpless in the face of abstract damage that was not obvious.

Perhaps even the "Holy Maiden of the Battlefield", who possesses universal healing magic, will be helpless against this.

The only thing in the world that has a chance to restore what Chios lost is perhaps only the power of the gods.

My mind is in a mess, I am eager to ask Chios's physical condition, I want to find out what the young man paid for it, I want to know why the other party did this...

All kinds of thoughts are tangled in my heart, but I can't organize half a complete sentence.

"You... are you... okay..."

Like a child who made a mistake, his tone was full of anxiety.

Riveria carefully lifted the weak Chios and let the young man lean on her.

"Cough, it's just a harmless little curse... If it's used normally, it won't burden me..." Chios replied with a tired look.

Unexpectedly, Ruru's golden ability was not consumed in the dungeon, but instead was used to hard-wire the magic cannon of the city's strongest magician.

Of course, without this layer of insurance, he wouldn't be so stupid as to gamble with his life.

For Riveria, the will of the world would blow her up to serious injuries at best.

If it were me, I wouldn't need to think about it to know that the firepower must be fully fired, running at full speed towards the finish line where the bones and ashes are smashed.

Judging from the scale of the magic cannon, it is indeed as expected.

I have to admit that the shot that the will of the world has disappeared for so long is actually very dangerous.

Regardless of whether Chios let Riveria's magical power accidentally explode and injure herself, or took the initiative to go forward to die, the outcome is the victory of the will of the world, and the difference is only a small victory or a big victory.

Chios was also in a cold sweat.

Compared with the previous two mission worlds, which were slightly immature in their intervention methods, "Dungeon" is simply a mature conspirator. Many arrangements since the executor entered the world have almost hit the mark.If the executor's reaction is a little slow, he will be imprisoned at the slightest, and will die at the worst.

This time it's nothing but a blockbuster.

Fortunately, crisis is turning point...

After turning over a hole card, Chios successfully reversed the situation.

Even so, the "Guardian" feature that he relied on to save his life was consumed after all, and it took two months to use it again.

(Whether it is a profit or a loss, it is really hard to say...)

There was a glint of gloom in Chios' eyes.

"I'm sorry, it's all because of my temper..."

The apologetic words of the elf royal family came to the ears, pulling the young man back to reality.

Forget it, don't think about it so much.

Focusing on Rivilia's uneasy and elegant and intellectual beauty, he was keenly aware that the other party mistook his eyes for the last second as melancholy, and Chios forced a smile.

"Anyway, I managed to survive... Heh, how about it... This time I should...cough cough...didn't lie to you?"

Seeing him pretending to be okay, Riveria gritted her teeth and asked:

"You...why are you still laughing?"

"Don't make that look, I didn't do it to see you cry."

"..." After a few seconds of silence, Riveria closed her eyes and whispered softly:

"Suddenly, I don't know how to face you in the future, Chios."

click...

The door of the main building on the east side was pushed open.

"Who?"

Riveria quickly turned her head to look at the source of the sound.

The moment she saw the slender figure standing at the door, her pupils shrank suddenly.

"Ace..."

something happened, please leave

Two days ago, I fell down due to food poisoning from eating seafood, my body was empty and my mind was empty.Unfortunately, the sewage pipes at home happened to be in trouble, and the third item of eating, drinking, and drinking was seriously affected... Even the fried toilet had to be fried elsewhere. The huge inconvenience caused the efficiency of coding to be greatly reduced.The plumber will come to fix it tomorrow, and I hope it can be resolved quickly so that my side can return to normal.

Chapter 680 Two? For... what

After talking with Riveria last night and going back to the room, the more Aisi thought about it, the more she couldn't calm down.

If Chios was really entrusted by Riveria to get closer to him on purpose...

Just thinking about this possibility caused a stabbing pain in his left chest.

It was as if a hole had been pierced in the heart by a sharp ice pick.

From that wound, the warmth she had gained through Chios during this time, which made her no longer alone, quickly disappeared, and was replaced by a biting chill.

Even hiding under the quilt and covering it with a thick blanket, it still couldn't dispel the coldness of the body.

In the silent night, Aisi couldn't close her eyes for a long time.

I have the urge to go to Chios immediately and ask him face to face, but I can't help being afraid of the unknown answer.

It wasn't just this that disturbed her...

In retrospect, Riveria's mood began to turn sour after the first night of the expedition.

The reason for this change can be guessed without careful reasoning, and it is definitely related to the conversation in the bathroom tent that night.

Exactly, the people discussed in this conversation.

One is Ais herself, and the other is Chios.

This opens up many possibilities...

Although Chios said that now Riveria almost regards him as an enemy, which stems from the mentality of a mother whose child has been snatched away.

But maybe Chios made a mistake.

Aisi didn't want to think too much, but she couldn't stop her thoughts from thinking in the worst direction...

Just as I would be unhappy seeing Chios getting too close to other girls, would it be... Riveria actually thinks so?

After thinking about this, she made up her mind.

I must ask tomorrow to understand.

With a restless mood, Ai Si stayed up all night until dawn.

After finishing the independent training of swordsmanship and having a meal in the main hall after taking a shower, I originally planned to go directly to the deputy head's office to ask Riveria.Unexpectedly, Riveria did not go to work in the deputy head's office as usual, but picked up the staff after simply packing up the tableware, and went out lightly.

Facing the unexpected situation, Ai Si can only temporarily change the plan and start tracking quietly.

Follow it all the way to NW Main Street...

Watching the elf royal family step into the Piliano Manor, although she was hiding in the dark alley, she wanted to follow, but she had to stop.

There are many people living in the Hestia family stronghold, and there are many high-level adventurers among them. The risk of sneaking in and being discovered is not small.Although as a cadre of the Loki family, he would not be able to fight on the spot if he was seen, but his behavior of following Riveria would definitely be exposed.

At that time, not only will there be no way of knowing Riveria's intention to visit, but she will also be severely reprimanded.

Just as she was secretly distressed, the gate of the manor opened...

The Lord God of the Hestia Familia and members of the regiment walked out one after another.

Through their behavior of curiously looking back at the main building, Ai Si vaguely guessed that these girls were as clueless as she was.

"I don't know what the "Nine Magic Princess" talked to Captain Chios about? "

"Well, they even sent us away specially, it's very mysterious."
