The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 55: Dream within a dream
Annan noticed that... even if he closed his eyes again now, he could still see the whole world clearly.
Even in the dark, there is no need to carry a lamp or even open your eyes.
Because after officially awakening on the fifth day, Annan no longer needs to use his eyes to receive external light. The power of the elements fundamentally transformed his soul, although he had not yet reached the golden level.
Annan can feel that his soul is like liquid light now.
There is no difference in color.
It's like [Oil of Glory].
If the "skin bag" he is using now is not too solid and closed, like an airtight box, I am afraid that Bernardino's eyes will continue to flow out with pure brilliance.
If you look directly at him at this time, the power alone will burn the eyes of the person looking at you.
But obviously, the apprentices around them didn't realize what was happening.
"How do you feel? Have you gained the ability to 'control spiritual bodies'?"
Someone asked hurriedly.
Under the illumination of the light, the backlit figures look like pitch-black demons with snarling teeth and claws.
Annan sighed silently.
They had no idea what was happening to Bernardino. And he doesn't think Bernardino will bring a crisis to himself at all.
With this level of acumen... it’s no wonder they can only pursue this dangerous experiment and try to find a breakthrough. Because they are probably among the losers who are about to be eliminated in the Wizard Tower.
Annan could only close his eyes and lean back on the chair.
He said calmly: "Indeed, I got it."
The apprentices suddenly became excited.
The leader immediately stepped forward, held Bernardino's shoulders, and said quickly: "Then show me quickly! Oh yes, there is the soul of a sea beast in front of you. You have the blood of sea beasts flowing in your body now. It should be far less difficult to control the souls of sea beasts than to control the souls of people. This is at least... uh... uh... um..."
The man was still talking, and Annan sighed slightly.
As expected by Annan...he immediately lost control of his body and started watching CG. In other words, Bernardino has started to control this body again, showing Annan what happened at that time——
As Bernardino suddenly opened his eyes filled with blood and tears, the dark hatred surging in his body suddenly surged out.
I saw all the wizard apprentices in the room suddenly showing expressions of pain.
They covered their faces and screamed in agony.
But all this struggle is pointless.
Annan could clearly see...the souls of these apprentices quickly separated from their bodies.
It's not like flying through a wall, flying directly out of the body.
It's like using a sausage machine to smash the meat into mud... Those souls were crushed into toothpaste-like postures, mixed with blood, constantly flowing out of their eyes, ears, mouths and noses, and were crushed by Bernardino It is easily absorbed into the body.
Bernardino's vision could not see the position of the physical body at all, but he could see the color of the soul.
Annan also realized this.
The saying "mortals have no souls" spread among the concepts of extraordinary beings is actually not accurate enough.
The correct statement is that the soul of a mortal is so thin that it cannot even be called a "smoke". It was extremely thin smoke, just a phantom light with "color".
But on the other hand, it can also be considered that mortals actually have souls...but they cannot be detected, extracted, targeted, or exploited.
Only through Bernardino's soul vision can we see their true shape!
It looks like stick figures of different colors.
The middle is blank and the edges have clear outlines. After Bernardino sucked away a little bit of the spirit body, he could no longer resist the suction force... and the rest of the spirit body was quickly released. The glimmer of light emitted by the entire "human form" also went out.
Like a punctured water balloon.
The moment their souls were damaged, these mortals were already dead.
...This is probably why mortals sometimes die suddenly in nightmares.
The only one who is still struggling... is the "experiment controller" who has advanced to become an official wizard.
Only he has a smoky soul.
It was a dark blue smoke mixed with a small amount of light blue and purple halo. The position of the cervical vertebrae is the thickest, like a human head, and then upward to the brain, there is a small amount of halo, forming a shape similar to a crown.
Down to the left and right sides of the liver...it has no legs and looks like an upside-down bamboo shoot.
And its arms have just reached the shoulder position. Further ahead are two transparent clouds. Like the ligaments in a crab's claws.
——Looks like some kind of Pokémon.
If it develops further and reaches the limit of bronze level, maybe it will be able to expand to the whole body.
"What a beautiful thing."
Annan murmured.
Looking from Bernardino's perspective, it was as bright as a nebula.
Annan understands more and more why Bernardino embarked on the path of a spiritual monk after leaving the "way of sculpture"...and why he can possess the element of soul.
——Because this can indeed be called a work of art.
It is a perfect sculpture without any processing.
Different people's souls have different colors and different shapes - different from the kind of knowledge peeked through rituals, the souls of many extraordinary people seen in the soul vision are basically the same in Bernardino's world. The only color left.
So how could Bernardino resist collecting it?
His smoky soul was constantly being sucked out by Bernardino - but even if nearly a third of it was sucked out, the man still had the ability to resist.
I saw a crimson light shining in his pupils.
——[Consciousness Capture: Killing Intent]
But when he scanned Bernardino, he was suddenly stunned: "W-what..."
Because he didn't see the murderous intention at all.
It was precisely because of this moment of distraction that the young wizard was no longer able to resist Bernardino's suction - his spirit body was sucked out directly from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose by Bernardino, and his body was sucked out by Bernardino. Then collapsed.
After circling around Bernardino's body, his spirit body was released by Bernardino again.
But when it re-entered its original body, it was half smaller and withered.
That was not swallowed by Bernardino.
But the part that escapes in the air.
The soul in the smoke state still cannot exist in the outside world for a long time, and the distance of less than two meters is lost by more than half every time. But it's better than those that only had a few particles left when they fell into Bernardino's hands.
As for the spirit body, in addition to its original dark blue halo... it was also wrapped in a layer of pitch black spider web.
That is exactly the kind of "gloomy and moist power" that belongs to Bernardino.
It is exactly the same color as the mud when Bernardino awakened his elements.
The spirits that sink in Bernardino's elemental swamp will be directly swallowed up and contaminated by him.
It’s just that this ability is still shallow now, and it can only bind a shallow layer like a spider web outside the spirit body, but it is not deep or tight. If other soul-stealing wizards were aware of it, they might be able to easily remove their interference.
But this immature power is enough to deal with weak wizards who are as immature as him.
When the "apprentice leader" slowly opened his eyes from the ground, there was no longer a panicked look on his face.
He suddenly turned over from the ground, his expression becoming cold.
The next moment, he and Bernardino simultaneously stretched out their right hands and placed them in front of themselves. He flipped his right hand abnormally synchronously, clenched his right hand synchronously - and punched forward with all his strength, not synchronously.
Then they sneered at the same time.
After Bernardino put down his right hand, the man opposite him did not put it down.
Bernardino left his chair and walked over to the man sitting on the ground.
He stretched out his right hand and touched the man's hand twice, but failed to hold the other person's hand. The third time, Bernardino finally mastered the operation technique - he stretched out his hand and held it firmly with the man's right hand.
Subsequently, Bernardino used force to pull his "other self" up from the ground.
The apprentices also stood up one by one, like walking zombies.
Next, Bernardino needs them to go to a quiet place to die, at least the cause of death cannot involve himself. It was difficult, especially in the Wizard's Tower... but he had to do it.
"That's ridiculous."
Bernardino murmured in a low voice: "Is this my destiny?"
His words were full of hatred: "I... hate this sad fate."
As this CG ended, Annan finally regained control of his body.
...But so far, this nightmare is still not over.
Even Annan's side mission has not been completed.
Annan was not surprised at all.
Because everything up to this point was within Annan's expectations.
The light burning in his heart told him everything.
Annan said leisurely to another spirit body he controlled that was theoretically impossible to respond to him: "Okay~IndoMTL.com~When are you going to release me? What do you want me to see... …You should have finished reading them all.
"——Monsignor Hugo."
As Annan finished speaking.
The body opposite him that should have been controlled by Bernardino suddenly spoke after a few seconds of silence: "When did you find out?"
"What did you find?"
Annan asked in a low voice.
"Discover - this is also a dream?"
The young wizard's voice gradually mixed with Hugo's voice.
As Hugo's voice rumbled as if from outside the world, the world around him gradually peeled off again.
