The two-headed serpent was obviously enraged. It raised both of its heads and chased after them. Its giant tail swayed rapidly on the surface of the water, causing the waves to undulate like it was flying. However, it was still slower than the speed of the invisible ship. Ah Nan and the others were getting further and further away.
Watch me say I'll go!
The two heads of the serpent opened their mouths at the same time and let out a deafening roar. The roar was accompanied by a tremor that resonated on the surface of the water. Countless scale-like ripples appeared on the surface of the water. The surface of the lake shook, and many fishes popped out of the water with their bellies upturned. They had died a violent death.
This resonance with the surface of the water was extremely lethal. Medanzo and the others had the protection of the invisible space, so they weren't hurt. However, the speed of the ship had slowed down. The surface of the water formed a resistance, and the buzzing air was also obstructed.
Medanzo turned around and stood at the stern of the ship. He controlled the invisible ship to break through the obstacles. He waved his staff with all his might, while his other hand gripped his sword tightly. His expression was very solemn. His waving of the staff was not as graceful as usual. It was like holding a heavy brush and painting a wall. It was extremely strenuous. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
Every time he waved his staff, the line of sight behind the ship would blur. It was as if space was distorted, and the shockwaves would disappear for a moment. The invisible ship suddenly accelerated forward. Using spatial magic to obstruct the pursuit of the serpent was indeed the most effective method. However, the power of the spatial law was quickly dispersed by the shockwaves. The two-headed serpent was still closing in.
Ah Gang had just broken through from the fourth level to the fifth level. He hadn't had the time to train his true strength. When he encountered the serpent in the Euphrate River, he wasn't a match for it at all. He had to use a scroll to deal with it. Now that Medanzo had reached the peak of the fifth level, and he had the protection of the mysterious invisible ship, as long as he didn't make any mistakes, he should be able to put up a good fight against the serpent.
But today, the two-headed serpent was obviously much stronger than the one he encountered in the Euphrate River. Ah Gang could see clearly that even if Medanzo had reached the peak of the fifth level, he still wouldn't be able to deal with the serpent. It was already very rare for him to be able to test out the monster snake's strength and keep playing with it until now.
Ah Quiet took out the Gods' Tear and quickly embedded it at the top of the staff. This was the first time he had used the Gods' Tear on a staff. The iron branch staff was finally able to unleash its full power. Looking at the strange snake, it was already very close. Its two huge heads, one on the left and one on the right, formed a pincer attack dozens of feet away. Its eyes were very strange, with one eye on each head being black, while the other was bluish-green.
Medanzo shouted, "Ah God, I can't hold on much longer! This strange snake is so strong, how can it know magic? Could it be that it also knows the power of two sides? "
Ah Wu-Yi was not in the mood to be long-winded. She suddenly shouted, "Stop the boat!"
Medanzo waved his staff with all his might, and a spatial rift appeared in front of the giant snake. He no longer urged the invisible ship to fly away. The ship continued to drift forward, slowing down on the trembling surface of the lake. The serpent's roar shattered the distorted space, and two heads emerged from the chaos. The scales on the serpent's neck were glowing, yellow and green, as though it was about to cast some kind of divine spell.
Just at that moment, a golden light scattered in the air, accompanied by a chant, "Strength comes with a strong heart. Who is it that struggles before faith? Who thinks he has broken free from the cage, only to be chained — "
This was a magic of the Temple of Isis, called the "Golden Chain". It was actually a very mysterious high-order spatial magic. Its effect was similar to the advanced magic "Spatial Shackle", but its power was more mysterious and powerful.
It was not Crazy 'Ole who taught it to him. Ah Fan had secretly learned it from the ancient books, and he was able to cast it with ease with the iron staff.
The golden light condensed into invisible shackles, binding the two huge heads of the giant snake. The snake struggled on the surface of the water, but its necks seemed to be tightly gripped by two invisible giant hands. Ah leaped high into the air and waved his staff. Don't forget that he was a Level Six Warrior, and his staff was also a weapon.
Ah jumped more than thirty feet high, and his staff heavily hit the junction between the two necks and the snake's body. But there was no splash of snake phosphor, not even a sound. A violent shock wave spread along the snake's body, as if someone had used a sledgehammer to crack open a mining core. It reminded people of the skills of Duc miners.
The impact of the staff was really strong. Ah's body was bounced back and fell back on the ship. The huge invisible ship was thrown back dozens of feet. The two-hundred-foot-long snake's body froze for a moment, as if it was temporarily paralyzed by the shock wave. Ah's staff could not kill the two-headed snake, and he did not even want to hurt it. He just froze the snake for a moment.
Ah returned to the ship and flicked his staff upwards. The lake water rolled up and encircled the snake's body, forming a huge ice shell. The ice was thick and solid, forming almost instantaneously along with the surge of water. But it did not directly wrap around the snake's body. There was a layer of space between the ice and the snake's body, and a layer of flame rapidly ignited on the snake's body. The flame was light red at first, but quickly turned blue and white, and finally became light gold.
A scorching heat wrapped around the ice, but the direction of the flame was directed towards the snake's body. The heat drilled into the scales, and unexpectedly did not melt the outer layer of ice. The two-headed snake hissed in pain, frantically twisting its body. Cracks appeared on the huge ice shell. The flame suddenly disappeared, all drilled into the scales.
Cracks appeared on the ice shell due to the snake's struggle, but these cracks quickly mended. The huge ice shell rapidly grew inwards, thickening and finally completely enveloping the snake's body. The snake's body emitted a radiance, dark brown and dark blue constantly flickering, as though it was resisting the scorching heat with some kind of magic. But in the instant that the ice shell grew and enveloped the snake's body, a series of explosions rang out.
The scorching heat and cold clashed, and the ice inside the snake instantly melted into steam. The huge pressure caused the snake's body and ice shell to explode. The snake's scales flew everywhere, and its blood was a mess. But it was still struggling madly. Ah shouted and quickly waved his staff. His movements were very strange. The space around the snake's body twisted and blurred, and countless twisting cracks appeared.
Following the explosion of the ice shell, the spatial rift also split apart. The monstrous serpent's body finally broke into pieces, transforming into indistinct bloody fragments that floated on the surface of the lake amidst the crushed ice. It was finally annihilated!
Medanzo sat down on the ship and sighed in surprise, "Ah God, you finished it in one move. What kind of magic was that?"
Ah replied, "Song of Ice and Fire. He waved his staff and used Ventussalve to collect all the snake's scales and bones, including two tendons and eight fangs.
Medanzo was surprised, "I've never heard of it before."
Ah replied, "I've never heard of it either. I only saw it in a scroll. The scroll was condensed from the writer's mana, and I learned it from the scroll. The snake is dead. Let's continue to the other side of the lake. Don't disturb me for now."
Ah placed his magic staff flat on the deck, as he shut his eyes and entered into a deep meditative state. It was as though he had turned a blind eye to the tragic aftermath of the battle, as though he hadn't made a move at all. Medanzo was puzzled, but he couldn't ask any questions. The battle had exhausted him, and he could only force the ship to slowly drift to the other side of the lake.
The lake was huge, and the ship moved very slowly. It took them a day and a night to drift to the other side. Ah was still sitting there, as if he didn't know what was happening around him. Fortunately, they didn't encounter any other monsters in the lake. Schrödinger turned his body to look at Ah. His expression was complicated, both gratified and worried at the same time.
It wasn't that Ah Xiang wanted to wash his hands of the matter at this time, but after he killed the two-headed serpent, he suddenly felt a burst of absent-mindedness. In this absent-mindedness, there was also some kind of enlightenment, as if a window was about to open. He immediately immersed his mind to capture and experience this ray of light.
He didn't gain much from this long journey. Of course, the real harvest wasn't the items he collected. Meeting the Scorpion King Si Shui, and making that oath, Ah finally solved a question that had been bothering him for a long time. If Crazy 'Ole and Bair were still here, Ah could clearly tell them that the path they spent their entire lives searching for did exist. The power of two sides wasn't created by Crazy' Ole, it had existed since ancient times.
From the Scorpion King's tone, it was obvious that he knew this secret. It wasn't just humans. Even a scorpion could become a legendary deity if it reached the end of this path. When Ah boarded the invisible ship again and sailed to the other side, he no longer had any doubts about the answer to this question.
Schrödinger unfolded his bones and jumped onto the ship's bow. The ship sailed into the unknown. The reincarnated scene touched Ah. In the lake, he was attacked by the descendants of Humbaba. Ah finally killed the snake, using the Song of Ice and Fire, but without the help of the scrolls.
He used the magic he learned from the scrolls and the secret magic of the Temple of Isis. No one taught him these, including the mining skills of Duc. He didn't get the approval of the gods. Ah had a feeling that the path to becoming a deity was there, whether the gods existed or not. The legendary deities had only walked this path and passed all kinds of tests that were inconceivable to ordinary people.
But these tests were always there, and even the immortal gods could fall.
Ah clearly saw the path he had walked and the future he was going to face. He used to want to see Eco, but when he saw her, things had changed. She was the Holy Maiden of the Temple of Isis. But he could still look into her eyes calmly. He wanted to go back to Duc, cross the desert, and experience all kinds of dangers. The other side was the legendary land of Marduc, the hometown where he grew up.
His wishes and his actions, his pursuit and his path, were far away on the other side. It was like the fusion of fate and reincarnation. It could be said that this was the fusion of faith and belief.
The ship suddenly shook. It was not because it encountered a monster, but because it ran aground on the shore of the lake. Ah opened his eyes, stood up, and walked down the ship with his staff in hand. The scene in front of him was a bit like a dream. He finally set foot on this land. The feeling of stepping on the ground was so real that he almost fell.
Medanzo, who was following behind, was already exhausted. Seeing that Ah was about to fall, he hurriedly reached out to help him. However, Ah turned around and stood still. He asked, "Have we arrived?"
Isn't this nonsense? It's not like I can't see it! Medanzo panted and replied, "Yes, we've finally reached the shore. I almost fell down from exhaustion. Ah, you're finally awake! "
Ah glanced at Medanzo and said, "Well, you look like you can't hold on much longer. Let's go back to the ship. You have a good rest. I'll steer the ship. "
Medanzo asked in confusion, "We've finally reached the shore. Where do you still want to steer the ship?"
Ah, who had just stepped off the ship, turned around and got back on the ship. He replied, "The way forward, of course."
Medanzo had to get back on the ship and sit down to catch his breath. Schrödinger did not get off the ship. It looked at Ah with a smile in its eyes. Then, something amazing happened. Ah raised his staff forward, and the invisible ship actually went ashore. It glided forward on the soft grassy mud. Occasionally, it would hit bushes and rocks. The ship floated up lightly and just brushed past the treetops. It looked like it was still sailing in the water.
Medanzo was stunned. "My god, what kind of power is this? Your magic power has grown so much overnight! "
Ah shook his head. "My magic hasn't grown much. After yesterday's battle, it hasn't even fully recovered. It's just that the way I use my power is different. The perfect fusion of my soul and power. It's no longer a power that has been awakened, but a power that belongs to me naturally. That's why I can do things that I couldn't do before. "
Medanzo blinked. "Ah, I don't quite understand."
Ah explained, "It's like opening a window. I can see the world and myself more clearly. Just like the ship under your feet. If you can't find it, how can you control it? Go one step further and integrate it into your power. It's like a part of your body and mind. Only then will you be able to do more. Low-grade, mid-grade, and high-grade magic are all different ways of using power. Awakening, using, transforming, and finally, it has to be integrated with the body and mind. It's as if it's innate. There's no need to think too much about it. "
Medanzo was stunned for a long time before he reacted. He asked, "Have you already …?"
Ah nodded lightly. There was no surprise in his voice. "Yes, I have already achieved the seventh level. I'm a supreme sorcerer. According to the law of the power of two sides, I will also be a supreme warrior."
Medanzo exclaimed, "Ah! You must be a god born on earth. As far as I know, you are the youngest supreme sorcerer or mage in the world. At the same time, you are also the youngest supreme warrior. "
On this day, Accia turned eighteen years old and finally broke through the seventh level of the power of two sides. Crazy 'Ole once said that on this day, Ah would no longer be afraid of his identity as a sorcerer. No matter which city the shrine was, they would be willing to recruit him. Not only would they give him a noble birth, but they would also enjoy an honorable status.
The day had finally come. But Ah smiled bitterly when he thought of Crazy 'Ole's message. The situation was a little different from what he had expected. Ah could no longer appear as a supreme sorcerer, because he was also a supreme warrior. On the Dubhe continent, no one had ever heard of someone who could master this power.
He had already appeared as a warrior in the Temple of Isis. Even if he became a supreme warrior, it was impossible for him to become a supreme mage at the same time. If this secret were to be exposed, one could imagine what kind of uproar it would cause, and perhaps even the punishment of the gods. If he returned to the Temple of Isis, he could only appear as a supreme warrior. This was exactly what Maria wanted.
But in other places, a seventh-level supreme sorcerer would indeed have a lot of convenience. At least he could appear as Allaha and did not have to hide his magic too much.
Thinking of this, he turned to Medanzo and said: "You don't have to envy anyone's achievements. Rest well, feel the recovery of your strength, and you will have new discoveries. This is the most important thing for you now."
Medanzo sat down to rest and also entered a state of meditation. He was so tired that he could hardly move, but his mouth was not idle just now. Ah drove the invisible ship through the soft mud and long grass. After passing the small grassland by the lake, an endless swamp appeared in front of him. Everywhere was bubbling mud, large pools, and trees above the water. It was impossible to pass through on foot, and there was no way to go.
The newly advanced supreme sorcerer, Ah, drove the invisible ship, choosing to travel between the swamp and the water. He glided and flew with two people and a cat, almost completely ignoring the difficulties and rugged terrain. Ah was also familiarizing himself with the power that had just integrated into his body and mind. Although it was not strong, it was a completely different feeling.
He seemed to have entered a new world, and the world in front of him was exactly the lost home he wanted to find.
Ah and Medanzo did not say a word, but Schrödinger yawned and meowed twice in dissatisfaction. Ah thought that another monster had appeared, but after activating detection magic for a long time, he did not find any movement. Schrödinger raised his voice and meowed twice, and then he reacted and said: "Oh, I'm sorry, it's been two days and one night. I only cared about the journey and forgot about other things. Don't worry, I'll find a place to stop and give you some good wine. You've worked hard these two days! "
Ah was already a rare supreme sorcerer and supreme warrior on the continent. No matter which identity he appeared in, he would enjoy a respected status wherever he went. But Ah was still the miner from Duc, and Schrödinger was still the arrogant cat. He did not take a supreme sorcerer and a supreme warrior seriously. He squatted there and nodded with satisfaction, waiting for Ah to prepare good wine for him.
I'm still out of town, so I borrowed the computer to find a place to write in my spare time. There is only one last day of this month, please give me your monthly ticket!
