In the middle of the jagged rocks, Roland sat cross-legged on the ground, staring intently at a misty light ball in front of him.
The light group exudes a gleaming light green light. From time to time, black dots appear from the surface of the light ball, and then turn into swirling black gas that emerges from the light group, exuding bursts of powerful energy.
This strange light group is the only small part of the soul energy that Roland collected so hard after the death of the Thorn Knights.
According to common sense, the ashes left behind after the death of the Thorn Knight have no use value in the realm of souls, but this does not apply to Roland, who has the ancient memory of Hector. The magic circle that can refine soul energy comes from a fragment of the soul demon's consciousness. Outside the distant and boundless void, when he merged with the soul of the soul demon, Hector's original consciousness was almost completely annihilated. The origin of the formation is no longer known, but judging from Roland's current knowledge system, this may be an almost instinctive ability of the Soul Demon, just like the soul contract he has rooted in Bast.
In a dark corner where the light of the light group is almost invisible, the evil flame demon Bast is leaning on a rock in boredom. His eyes flash occasionally, and he is alert to sense whether there is any dangerous aura approaching from the surroundings. In fact This is just a subconscious and cautious approach. The Evil Balrog knows in his heart that after experiencing the previous battle between Williams and a group of Thorn Knights, I am afraid that all the dangerous abyss predators in the nearby area have chosen wisely. Hibernating far away, it is impossible to return to this area to hunt for at least a day or two.
If the danger of being involved in terrible right and wrong is eliminated, the battlefield that still retains the aura of many strong men is probably the safest place right now.
The dark canyon they were in was hidden and far enough away from the battlefield. Of course, it was still within the safe zone. Bast followed closely behind his master to find this place. He watched Roland completely After driving around in a circle and following the "Fire Bone Demon" for such a long time, Bast already knew that this master had detection and concealment capabilities far beyond his imagination. In fact, they had never encountered him before after traveling such a long distance. to any real danger.
This cannot be attributed to luck, Bast knew very well.
His eyes occasionally glanced at Roland, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground looking at the ball of light. At this time, the devil's face looked a little unnatural. Bast considered himself not a stupid guy. The discerning devil knew that The current behavior of his master is absolutely extraordinary. You must know that they are on the way to "escape" now! Although for who is the enemy? Why exactly were they on the run? The demons received no further explanation from their master.
Although there are doubts at the moment, Bast in the dark corner still plans to wait and see what happens.
The light group in front of him was collected by him through hard work using secret techniques. It gathered part of the energy of a group of strong men during their lifetimes. However, it does not exist permanently, and there is no way to store it, at least not in the remaining memories of the Soul Demon. , if Roland does nothing, then this light group will disappear completely in about half an hour, leaving no trace.
This world is fair. The more unnatural your ability is, the more restrictions you will face.
It is precisely because of this that Roland decided to stay temporarily instead of going on the road again. The valley he chose was secluded in terrain, and the surrounding area had been thoroughly and carefully explored by him and there was no danger. As for the pursuer behind him, Roland didn't have much to worry about. After such a long period of non-stop traveling and various anti-tracking methods along the way, coupled with Roland's shielding and suppression of the fluctuations of the magic emblem in his body, he believed that he would have enough time to It is impossible for the tracker to find the correct direction and catch up within the time limit.
But the problem is that he is not sure about the consequences of swallowing the light group in front of him.
The memory from the Soul Demon is incomplete. He only knows that the soul energy refined by this secret method can enhance his own strength. However, Roland does not know the outcome of the process and the risk. The Soul Demon Hector in his previous life may have used this method to increase his power many times, but he is the new Roland in this life. For him, this is a brand new adventure.
Either way, if he gives up this excellent opportunity to increase his strength, he will only be able to improve his strength at a constant and slow rate for a long time in the future, and will remain stagnant for a long time in the face of the upcoming bottleneck. The growth of strength is the biggest factor in surviving in this cruel world.This book.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. An American named Tom once said in his previous life: "The unknown is mankind's greatest fear." This may be the best explanation for his current struggle.
There are always many choices to make in life. If you make a wrong step, you will go further and further down the wrong road. His thoughts wandered to the vague memories of a long time ago. At that time, he had a crush on a girl but did not dare to express his feelings. , silently watching the other person holding someone else's hand and entering the palace of marriage. It was not until many years later that I accidentally learned that the other person also liked me in his heart, but chose to leave because he did not wait for himself to express his feelings in the end. When I graduated, because I had too many constraints, I did not choose the brightest direction for my future. Instead, I chose a job where I didn't like the daily mechanical labor, and struggled at the bottom of society.
It is not unreasonable that people are always keen to recall the past and always regret the many wrong choices they have made.
It¡¯s a pity that there is no if.
Finally, the flames in Roland's eyes calmed down, and he had made a decision.
No matter how cowardly you are, you must be brave once in your life. I believe that the smiling girl in his memory will also support him.
He blew out a wisp of breath forward, and the hazy light group surrounded by black air was turned away by this breath. The churning energy was erratic. From time to time, a stream of dark green flames surged out from it. Roland stretched out his hand to form an invisible barrier. This limits the energy within a certain range.
Roland stood up, took a deep breath, and inhaled the rolling energy light ball into his mouth.
