Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 49: Tyrant
The torrential rain fell from the sky, hitting the rocks with a loud sound, and the water flowed down from the cliff like a waterfall, converging into thick streams on the rugged surface of the Sighing Cliff.
And the dull thunder is like the roar of a big drum, interlaced with the sound of the wind, as if to tear the sky apart.
Hilliadlessy stared at the undulating sea in the distance, that was located in the depths of the sea, a huge, majestic, but deep and dark shadow, his mood also fluctuated like the waves.
The air was filled with a strange smell of water vapor, and thunderbolts fell from the turbulent cloud vortex above the head, and struck the cliff top that had been baptized by thunder countless times. fine metal frame.
However, what is surprising is that this pitch-black metal skeleton is not affected by any thunder, no matter how huge the current is, it will be absorbed by it quietly.
Boom! An unusually bright sky thunder fell, illuminating everything on the top of the cliff, and for a while, only the purple light was left inside and outside the cliff.
Hilliard looked up, and he saw a cloud was collapsing and falling, the gray rain cloud was pressing down heavily, and together with the shining thunder, it fell to the earth with an overwhelming momentum.
The old knight didn't care, allowing his body to be washed away by rain clouds mixed with a large amount of psionic energy fields and electric charges, and with the brilliance of thunder, he seemed to be able to vaguely see that there was an unknown amount of time hidden under the rock shell. , now finally showing some ancient characters on the metal skeleton.
"Heavenly Ladder (Κλ?μae?a?aν?δou) The Heavenly Father crosses all realms in seven steps, hanging the stars. The imprint of his steps is the so-called ladder to the sky, and it is also the way for us sublimated people to improve ourselves The steps to the sky."
He muttered to himself: "The maze is about to take shape, once the maze is formed based on that, once it is completely constructed"
Hilliard shook his head.
He came here precisely to prevent this from happening.
"Thunderhunting jellyfish."
At this moment, Hilliard noticed that as the thunder in the sky continued to fall towards the cliff of sighing, in the nearby sea area, there began to be dots of blue-blue light surging, like flying clouds scattered on a black curtain. fluorescence.
Then, accompanied by low hums, hundreds of nearly a thousand jellyfish with blue canopy slowly floated up from the sea amidst the crackling electromagnetic sparks in the atmosphere.
In the translucent soft gelatinous layer, there are bright blue cores spinning rapidly like lights, and the jellyfish burst out electric currents, intertwined with each other, as if communicating, and after a short 'communication', they converged The crowds turned into a cloud of blue light dancing around the thunderclap around the Tantan Cliff.
Looking from a distance, the thunderclouds in the sky and the thunderclouds on the sea complement each other, and there are terrifying electric arcs and lightning lights that shuttle between the two, interweaving into a grid of electric cages. The people of the boat were roasted into charcoal.
When the mine-hunting jellyfish swarm emerged, Hilliard retreated quietly.
This is the most dangerous part of a group of monsters - their defensive power will increase exponentially due to their number. They are obviously weak and low-level monsters alone, but hundreds of thousands of them are enough to become a problem for this party. Around Tanya, the absolute overlord within a hundred miles.
The number of mine-hunting jellyfish this time is seven, eight, or dozens of times more than what Hilliard saw when he came here eight and fifteen years ago. Fifty-five years ago, There are not even such monsters in this place.
"Even if it is a maze, this speed is too abnormal. There must be some unexpected factors that have caused their number to increase rapidly in the past ten years."
"This factor is also the reason why the number of monsters in the waters around Harrison Port has increased significantly in recent decades, and has gradually become violent."
With such thoughts in mind, Hilliard changed back into Oceana's appearance and returned to the city.
It was already midnight on the second day, but on the way home, he was surprised to find that the house was still lit with lights.
"What, Ian, why don't you sleep?"
Back in the house, Hilliard looked at the white-haired boy sitting at the table with some doubts. He shook his head and said, "Regular work and rest are part of practice, especially at your age. Get enough sleep to have enough physical strength and room for growth."
"I know, teacher."
Finally, when Hilliard came back, Ian stood up to greet him.
Facing the euphemistic reprimand of the old knight, he just shook his head and replied solemnly: "As for today, it is a special situation."
"My psychic energy tells me that the whole city is in danger of being destroyed. This premonition makes me unable to sleep."
He looked at Hilliard with a surprised face, and said calmly: "Teacher, I want to know an answer."
"Even if it's vague and perfunctory."
What kind of ability is Ian's spiritual power?
It is difficult even for Ian himself to explain this point clearly.
Foresight vision, in addition to predicting future trends within a certain period of time, has the ability to identify items, can also detect spiritual energy quality, and takes into account phase vision. It is a quite comprehensive observation system auxiliary spiritual power.
Such psychic powers are quite rare in Terra Continent.
Perhaps the prophets of the major churches may have abilities similar to Ian's, but that is just a guess. Can 'truly and correctly' predict the future.
Even Ian is the same, he is not 100% sure whether his psychic ability is to screen out the 'most likely possibility', or spy on the progress of another parallel world.
However, if it is only at the level of 'predicting danger', then most psychic users may have one or two occasions, and may suddenly perceive a specific crisis time about themselves on a whim.
"Is that so? You can actually perceive that the entire Port of Harrison will encounter a terrible crisis, affecting everyone, almost without exception?"
In order not to attract the attention of the neighbors, Hilliard turned off the lights.
In a dark room, the old knight frowned, thinking about what Ian had explained to him before, and said softly: "You feel a lot of physical exertion after the foresight. They are all omens that can only appear on sublimators above the third energy level, even they will feel overwhelmed, let alone you."
"It's better to say that you can still talk, which is enough to surprise me. This proves that your spiritual quality is quite high."
"Even, there may already be a soul."
"Huh?"
He gave a little surprise, and now it was Ian's turn to be surprised—a soul? He thought that in this magical world with spiritual energy and a path to ascension, everyone has a soul!
Not to mention the fact that he has traveled to this different world and can awaken the memory of his previous life, which made him feel that the soul might exist in his hometown.
How does it sound, it seems that this soul is not available to everyone, and it is even quite rare?
"Surprised?" Seeing Ian's expression, Hilliard couldn't help but smile.
He patiently said: "Wisdom does not require a soul. It is a gift of human beings and a gift of the fruit of wisdom. In contrast, monsters are born with the power of sublimation, but they do not have innate wisdom. They need to reach the first stage. The second energy level, 'Ninghui', can only give birth to wisdom after the initial birth of the soul."
"I know, you little guys always listen to fairy tales saying that there is a soul or not. It is there when the ability is awakened, at most it is a little hazy shadow."
"But you may be an exception."
Patting Ian's head, Hilliard couldn't help frowning and thinking: "Your psychic power is actually the rarest future-predicting type, which can actively perceive the future trend. If you are not joking, then it is no wonder you I was able to find me back then."
At this moment, the old knight's expression was a little anxious: "This is almost a prophet. The most suitable path for you should be the spiritual inheritance of the secret treasures of the major churches."
"But this kind of inheritance is a bit difficult to obtain"
"That may not be the best for me."
Aware that his teacher seemed to be seriously thinking about how to get the inheritance of the prophets in the hands of the major churches, Ian couldn't help shaking his head and said: "It's just the inheritance that is most suitable for my spiritual power."
"Compared to this." He interrupted the topic: "Teacher, what is going to happen in Port Harrison? Why is there such a big danger coming?"
"It's a long story."
Hilliard sighed, since Ian has already sensed the danger, there is no need to hide it from him.
Patting the chair, he signaled the boy to sit down, and then slowly said: "This matter is even related to the establishment of Harrison Port."
"As one of the most remote frontiers in the human world, the reason why Port Harrison in the southern border was able to stand in the mountains and jungles despite being surrounded by many redwood natives in the past is precisely because the former emperor of the empire, Inaiga The strong support of the Second Emperor in the dark."
Inaga II
When Ian heard this name, he couldn't help flashing some rumors he had heard in the past.
In the discussions that spread in secret communication, the reputation of the late emperor
"Black King" he couldn't help muttering to himself, telling the name of the emperor after his death.
Of course, this is actually a milder nickname.
Because, among those who don't have much respect for the imperial family, the real name of this Inaiga II
It is the 'Black Tyrant'.
