The fisherman druid is in another world

Chapter 752

Enveloped in the power of laws, the dazzling and exceptionally conspicuous magical artifact struck Sigurd in the back.

Then, like a lantern falling into a river, the light floated up and down a couple of times before disappearing completely.

"What the hell is going on?!" Abed was going crazy, completely unable to imagine that being hit by a magical artifact would have this effect.

What made it even more difficult for him to bear was that he discovered that his connection with the power of the laws and even the magical artifacts was being blocked, and this sense of blockage was rapidly increasing.

Everything else can be considered illusory, but his connection with the power of the laws is absolutely real. A weakening is a weakening, a break in connection is a break in connection; after all, the released power of the laws is mixed with his soul power, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's an external extension of his soul.

Therefore, Abed was truly desperate this time. He knew perfectly well that an attack centered on the power of laws was his strongest method. If even this method was ineffective, then it was highly likely that other secondary methods would also be useless.

The most rational choice at this moment is to prioritize survival, like Harlan did, and make a quick getaway.

However, Abed did not have Harun's decisiveness, or rather, his "survival first" mentality was not formed in time.

If you can't get past this mental shift, other thoughts will take over.

For example, this power of law is hard-won, and it is worth keeping even if it means taking risks. We can't just give it up like that.

So Abed displayed the methods of a legendary superhuman. Although it was not as high-ranking or powerful as the power of laws, its visual and auditory effects were far superior.

That was a combined attack displayed after six high-level spell scrolls were activated.

Abed could certainly cast any of the spells contained on these six high-level spell scrolls entirely on his own, and at a considerable speed.

But in this situation, he can say that he is going all out to salvage the situation, so in order to be just one step ahead, he has lavishly used this trump card tactic.

Since it's a trump card, it's not just about the short wind-up time of a combined ultimate move.

Another powerful feature is that the method of execution can serve as an energy source, giving this technique even greater power.

I wouldn't say it doubled, but it at least reached an intensity of 1.7.

Of course, even so, it is still far from the critical point and there is no possibility of a qualitative change. It can only be said that this is a high-saturation attack on quantity.

Interestingly, Abedo's combined attack used six forces, four of which were the four elements of earth, fire, water, and wind.

That's why he didn't use that technique when he faced Black Rob, but instead directly used the power of the law.

His thinking at the time was that the enemy was quite capable, having broken through two checkpoints. As the last line of defense, he should use the most reliable and swift method to intercept them.

Therefore, following this core line of thought, anything involving the four elements of earth, fire, water, and wind needs to be questioned.

After all, in the many years since he achieved legendary status, he has devoted his main energy to consolidating and enhancing the power of laws. The in-depth exploration and research of the power of the four elements has stagnated for at least twenty years.

Over such a long period of time, the research and development of elemental power has mostly been innovative, resulting in many new things.

After all, the four elements are major categories and the main focus of extraordinary individuals. Many hands make light work, and almost every year there are geniuses who develop groundbreaking technological improvements.

Abed thought that the challenger who suddenly appeared must be a genius who had been immersed in the field of elements for many years.

Like most high-level superhumans, Abed also had great faith in his spiritual intuition. When he saw Black Rob's performance, he felt that the other party had considerable expertise in the elemental realm.

Therefore, after careful consideration, he decided to directly use the power of the laws to crush the opponent and secure victory.

Unexpectedly, they were tricked by the other party's strange methods.

At this point, Abed's use of magic incorporating the power of the four elements was a desperate measure, a case of using whatever was available without considering the consequences.

In addition to the power of the four elements, Abed's composite magic also includes the elements of light and darkness.

Undoubtedly, in this era, it is extremely rare to be able to integrate these two elements, especially to obtain authentic light elements and related techniques. Moreover, its technical system is definitely derived from the framework of ancient magic.

This "ancient" likely dates back to the era when elven magic was still widely manifested in the material plane. This is because the concept of six elements became extinct after that era; the Church of the Gods would not promote such a method of classifying magical energy. They would prefer that extraordinary beings in the world only know of divine power and not of other extraordinary abilities.

For the extraordinary individuals of this era, Abed's composite magic is a prime example of "the present is not as good as the past," and some with shallow knowledge may even find it to be a "one-trick pony" technique.

However, using this method on Black Robb would be like showing off one's limited skills before an expert.

If you were to ask who in this world is most familiar with the elven magic system, it wouldn't be the Elf King, but Black Robb.

Because Black Robo not only obtained a backup of the revival legacy of the Elf King lineage, but also another set prepared by the Elf Grand Duke Valarian, as well as supplementary information from the perspective of the God of Nature.

Therefore, it's not hard to imagine what Black Rob's expression would be when the combined spell attack occurred.

His methods of dealing with the situation were, on the whole, rather dark.

He manipulated Sig, turning his fingers into a knife, then into claws, ripping out his heart, and then using it as the core material for casting spells, flinging it out.

At this moment, Black Robo naturally broke the previously established rule of only displaying technical abilities that conformed to Sieg's character design.

He showed no discomfort whatsoever at this self-contradictory behavior of setting rules one day and then breaking them the next.

This highlights his even stronger belief in 'greater good and adaptability'.

Abed was arrogant and incompetent, so he didn't mind breaking the rules and accepting being fed.

In his eyes, the power of laws is feeding, and the six-element composite spell is also feeding.

The heart thrown out was intended for the latter, guiding the power of the six elements to transform into a feeding offering.

It already carried power and a package of magical information. During flight, it changed rapidly, and thousands of scarlet energy lines sprouted from the surface of its heart.

These energy lines wove themselves together in the air, transforming into six symbols.

Four of them are the primordial runes corresponding to the four elements.

The other two are also opposite in nature, but they correspond to light and darkness. Centered around the symbol, numerous energy lines, like water plants swaying with the current, appear unrestrained and flamboyant. The overall effect is like a terrifying, animated Chinese knot.

This is the art of dark nature.

Natural Arts + Darkness traits usually include the 'Plunder' tag, and it's often listed at the top of the list.

At this moment, Black Robb unleashed the technique of Plundering Heaven and Earth, revealing the dark side of nature to an almost extreme degree.

Without a doubt, this is at the level of a law, and not a single law, but a collection of laws; otherwise, it would not exhibit such an authentic dark nature effect.

Under this effect, the spell immediately seized control of the six elemental forces manipulated by the Abed composite spell.

According to the original process of achieving the effect of the composite spell model, the six elements should first complete their respective stage activation, just like how atomic motion becomes more active under the influence of high temperature, thus greatly increasing the power of the six element force fields.

Then, these six processed elemental forces enter the second stage of the spell model process, much like the operation of a magic circle. After each element is in place, they begin to work together to create a composite effect.

This combined effect is the final manifestation of Abed's emergency move to deal with Black Rob and try to regain control of the power of the laws.

However, Black Rob's Dark Nature Arts intercepted it midway. The Six Elements had just completed the first stage and were still in the process of entering a more complex spell process when they were lured away by the primordial elemental runes. They were injected into the terrifying version of the living Chinese knot in one go, becoming the energy source for the further development of Dark Nature Arts.

The six primordial runes shone brightly, and then the active Chinese knots shook, like rope art continuously untying slipknots, transforming back into thousands of scarlet threads in a pleasing effect, beginning a second weaving.

This weaving is many times more complex than before, involving complex and three-dimensional weaving.

From an observer's perspective, in the blink of an eye, a unique elemental body was woven and born, with the heart as its core and the previous primordial runes as its nodes.

The body resembled a person without skin, with the muscle bundles sculpted by scarlet lines clearly defined and incredibly realistic.

More importantly, this body possesses an eerie charm, as if it were the sole protagonist of this world, causing all things to unconsciously submit and bow their heads, yet also making one want to cast their gaze upon it.

At that moment, two opposing forces were battling within Abed's mind. One was to stare intently and then offer a deep bow, while the other was to try not to look, lest his will falter and he forget what he should truly be doing.

Reason told Abed that he should choose the latter.

But at this moment, his emotional power surged within him, stimulating him to act more in the former direction.

In this struggle that was not painful, yet strange and perilous, Abed saw the elemental body fly toward Sig.

After being struck in the back by Abed's artifact imbued with the power of laws, Sig has been suspended in the air. The strange energy emanating from his body has affected the area around him, creating a regional distortion effect that makes the space around him seem unreal.

This effect further confirmed Abed's belief that the rapid weakening of his connection with the power of the laws and even the magical artifacts was real and not an illusion.

He was quite familiar with this effect, having experienced it many times before when acquiring the power of laws, though the scale and form were different, but the essence was the same.

To elaborate further, there's a vivid metaphorical term for extraordinary individuals above the legendary level when acquiring the power of laws: 'pulling out the thread'.

This saying corresponds to the proverb, "The net of justice is vast, its meshes are wide, yet nothing escapes it."

The 'law' here refers to the power of laws.

Those who are legendary or above, with their powerful perception, can see the power of laws that resemble lines of latitude and longitude, provided certain prerequisites are met.

Of course, this is a description heavily influenced by subjective assumptions.

It is a product of a relatively common method used by extraordinary individuals in order to better master the power of the laws, to make the intangible as tangible as possible, and to make the abstract as realistic as possible.

In other words, the extraordinary person first subjectively believes that the power of the law can be manifested in this way, and then refines the steps step by step to complete the prerequisites.

Ultimately, one can see the power of laws that has a high affinity with him existing in the world in the form of latitude and longitude lines.

The next step is to extract the threads of law, usually selecting those with the highest affinity.

In short, extracting the threads of law is the specific method by which Abed obtains the power of law. It is extremely difficult and requires a lot of effort. Therefore, he is familiar with this kind of fluctuation, and thus he is even more certain that Black Rob did not fake it this time.

He saw the elemental body fly to Sig's vicinity, raise its arm and grab, causing Sig's clothes and belongings to explode into a frenzy, and then a complete human skin was peeled off and flew into its hand.

Abed was horrified. The dark arts were so evil that, in his knowledge, only the legendary devils could compare to them.

The Elemental Body obtained Sig's human skin, and draped it over itself like a cloak. The skin then adhered to its body, and after a series of wriggling movements and slight adjustments, it became completely smooth and seamless, making it impossible to distinguish whether it was the skin being worn or the skin that had grown out of itself.

Then, the elemental body raised its hand and grasped Sig's body, which had lost its skin. Sig's body seemed to be subjected to enormous pressure from all directions, and was quickly compressed and deformed, eventually becoming a fleshy ball the size of a fist.

During this process, a large amount of a substance resembling viscous blood is squeezed out. After the substance is pulled a certain distance away from the flesh ball, it turns into flowing flames and burns. The flames are magnificent and turn golden white.

At the same time, Abed felt his soul power being trapped in this substance, completely dissipating as it burned.

Although soul power is not the soul itself, it still sends back special energy waves to the soul.

Therefore, as the flames burned, Abed felt an indescribable burning sensation in his soul.

Before this, he had never experienced the feeling of his soul being burned.

But at this moment, he instinctively knew that his soul was being burned, and this was the feeling he was experiencing.

From being overwhelmed by emotion, watching the regeneration of the elemental body uncontrollably, and then witnessing the bizarre and frenzied behavior in China, to now having one's soul burned, the entire process took only a little over two minutes.

But the two minutes of information reception, and the resulting torment, left Abed feeling as tired as if he had been working on his brain for days without sleep.

Not only am I exhausted, but I also experience an indescribable pain. It's not so much physical pain, but rather a persistent, intractable pain that's like scratching an itch through a boot—it's infuriating and impossible to resolve.

Abed realized that his soul was wounded, and what he was feeling now was only a part of the visible damage; the greater damage, like a bruise spreading outwards, was not yet apparent, but was far more dangerous.

Furthermore, his spiritual wounds have been worsening over time.

This series of instinctive warnings, seemingly triggered by a sudden impulse, finally suppressed his emotional thinking from hijacking his consciousness, bringing him to his senses and making him realize that he was in imminent danger and should have run away long ago!
Unfortunately, at this moment, Black Robb had already completed the dark ritual. Like a wolf that had defeated a sheepdog, how could he possibly let Abed, who stood trembling like a sheep to the side, go?
