Mystery: emerging from the wilderness of knowledge

Chapter 720 Mystic Master

"This is a special application of 'opening the door'. The principle is to arrange a fixed, isolated space in the spirit world, and then open it through a 'door' with fixed coordinates, thus achieving the effect of a portable warehouse."

"However, this method is not absolutely safe. Although the spirit world is vast, it also houses many strange and powerful spirit creatures. They may break in or destroy the coordinates and ritual magic placed in the spirit world, causing the loss of items."

Lawrence explained as he unfolded the painting in his hand.

It was painted with many abstract and incomprehensible patterns, like a strange seal.

As if thinking that Renekton would be confused, Lauren showed the painting in his hand to Renekton and said:

"This is a demonic painting. It contains many demigod-level demons. It can be used to help the 'Travelers' complete the ritual to become 'Mystics'."

"In the Fourth Epoch, there were many members of the Abraham family who could advance to Sequence 4 Mystic Masters. This magical item was made by the Abraham family during that era."

After a brief explanation, Lawrence walked forward for a distance and activated the devil oil painting in his hand. The rather abstract lines on it suddenly began to move spontaneously, interweaving with each other to form a semi-closed "door".

A dark red arm with strange patterns stretched out from the "door", grabbed the edge of the door frame, and dragged itself out of the door with force.

After a second or two, a demon with curved goat horns on its head and a pair of bat-like membrane-covered wings on its back emerged from the "door".

Its hands were extremely exaggerated, almost as tall as its height, and covered with pitch-black inscriptions. They grew out of its flesh and blood, extending into the void. Just looking at them made people feel uncomfortable, with emotions and desires surging abnormally.

Its eyes were like they were filled with red magma, and its mouth was half open, revealing sharp white teeth that made people tremble. On each tooth, there was a dark red mark like rust, as if it was left by a long period of gnawing on flesh and blood.

The moment this demigod-level demon appeared, Renekton's body became illusory, as if it had been separated from this world and turned into something non-existent.

The demon that had just escaped from the seal instinctively looked towards Lawrence. The long-term seal had made it lose much rationality, and it just instinctively exuded malice, wanting to devour the other party to fill itself.

Almost at the same time it looked at Lawrence, the two curved devil horns on its head burned with transparent flames, as if they could ignite a person's inner emotions and desires, forcibly impacting Lawrence's spirit, causing him to inevitably produce certain emotions and fall into confusion.

Then, one after another, light blue fireballs with a pungent smell of sulfur appeared out of thin air, densely packed like a big net, and suddenly pounced on Lawrence.

Lawrence, with a dazed look in his eyes, became thinner and more brittle in the pale blue flames, and turned into a pale yellow paper man, which was completely swallowed up by the flames.

His figure then appeared on the other side, and an illusory, slowly turning book was reflected in his eyes.

"I come, I see, I record."

Along with the low chanting, his body was dyed with gold, spreading out layer by layer.

The "Purification Aura" recorded in the "Ritual of Light"!
The majestic aura of the sun spread out in circles along with the golden light like water waves, rendering a layer of gold around, bringing a strong and pure aura of the sun, making the surroundings sacred and turning it into an environment that demons could hardly adapt to.

The light blue flames and red magma wrapped around the demon seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, becoming shaky and ready to go out at any moment.

It stretched out its exaggerated arms, which were almost the entire length of its body. The evil patterns on them quickly lit up, and an illusory, dark and sticky liquid condensed from various emotions and desires flowed out. It continued to expand and turned into a pair of huge black arms, grabbing towards Lawrence.

At the same time, he spoke a demonic word that was full of filth and depravity from the abyss:

"Fallen!"

The surrounding area showed a tendency to become an abyss. Corrupted black mist continued to emerge in the golden light, condensing into a layer of slightly sticky black liquid on the surface of Lawrence's body.

A faint blue light flashed by, and Lawrence relied on his quick flashes to create one phantom after another around him, achieving the effect of siege by himself.

In the eyes of each phantom, an illusory book was reflected, and it recited:

"I come, I witness, I record."

Silver-white lightning, blazing white flames, and pure sacred light fell from the sky in no particular order, submerging the demon.

Amidst the loud explosion, a pool of illusory, sticky black liquid formed by various emotions and desires emerged and rushed towards Lawrence frantically.

These liquids seemed to be a collection of the most sinister and shameful desires in people's hearts. They swept around with an attitude of polluting everything, causing Lawrence, who was looking directly at them, to fall into an inevitable psychedelic state. His emotions and desires expanded rapidly, and then his mind exploded in an instant.

Lawrence's body exploded with a bang, turning into a pile of scattered rusty paper scraps. The next second, his figure emerged from the dark and sticky liquid, holding an arm-length, extremely sharp blade in his hand, a blade from the "Fallen" realm.

This is the "Blade of Flesh and Soul" belonging to the "Black Knight". It can not only corrode flesh and blood, destroy souls, and break through barriers, but also make the defense of any creature with corrupted thoughts ineffective. It has very good attack power against creatures like demons, which is no less than the extraordinary ability of the sun field.

The arm-length "Blade of Flesh and Spirit" pierced into the pool of black liquid, easily penetrating through it and bringing unimaginable effects and damage.

The dark and sticky liquid instantly boiled up as if it was about to evaporate, burning all the emotions and desires that could be burned, like a high explosive that was entering a countdown.

Lawrence's body disappeared instantly without stopping.

In an open space not far away, he leaned back with his arms outstretched as if embracing the sun.

A magnificent, pure, blazing beam of light descended from the sky, covering the dark liquid on the ground and evaporating it bit by bit.

"I have made a lot of preparations for the promotion ceremony of the 'Mystic Master'."

"On the battlefield of South Road, I recorded enough extraordinary abilities, especially the abilities of the sun and the mind."

"The former can effectively restrain the demon, and the latter can prevent me from forming corresponding thoughts in my mind and directly attack, thus avoiding triggering the demon's sense of danger."

Lawrence spoke in a calm tone, as if he was explaining to Renekton, or as if he was talking to himself to ease the tension.

As he spoke, he walked to the side of the demon that had become thin and had lost its ability to resist, stretched out his hands forward and pressed them in the air.

Rays of light blue light bloomed, quickly covering the dark and sticky liquid on the ground, turning into strange symbols and forming closed "doors" one after another, trapping and sealing the demon.

The seal then turned into a stream of light blue water and flowed into Lawrence's body, using his body as a container to seal the demon and completing the ritual of the "Mystic".

Then he closed his eyes and meditated for a moment. After adjusting his state, he took out the potion ingredients that he had prepared long ago, and used his invisible hands to make them float in the air. He mixed them together and stirred them into a bottle of dark blue potion that seemed to have insects curled up into a "door" floating in it.

After a simple divination, he brought the potion to his lips and drank it all.

Renekton's figure went from illusory to solid, standing out on one side.

"You trust me so much? You don't even need to find a safe place or say a prayer?"

Muttering to himself, Renekton raised his hand, causing stars to appear around him, densely packed and dazzling, isolating Lawrence from the outside world and preventing him from being disturbed by Mr. "Gate's" mumbling during his promotion process.

As soon as Lawrence drank the potion, he fell into a state of unconsciousness. Transparent flesh buds began to appear on his face, wriggling and twisting, and growing into transparent insects that sparkled with starlight.

There were more and more such insects, and soon his entire body turned into a collection of insects, looking evil and terrifying.

Renekton looked at Lawrence calmly, with a faint purple glow in his eyes, and he observed and analyzed the changes in Lawrence more carefully.

"It already has the rudiments of authority over secrets, seals, doors, etc. Its flesh and blood have begun to split, and it has been replaced by star bugs with divinity. The core is to establish a very wonderful connection between itself and the spirit world."

As he whispered to himself, waves of information broke away from the spirit world, converging in front of Renekton and reconstructing the figure of Bernadette.

She calmly glanced at Lawrence who was being promoted, as if she had understood what had happened, then looked at Rekton and said:

"I sensed the presence of a high-ranking demon in Conston City, so I came here to take a look. Is it related to the promotion ceremony of the 'Mystic'?"

Renekton nodded and said, "Yes, the ritual of the Mystic requires the Ascended to seal a demigod-level, clearly hostile creature without relying on external forces."

"Mental imprint." Bernadette nodded. Having mastered a lot of knowledge and secrets, she quickly thought of the core of this ritual, which was to create a mental imprint that was strong enough to help the ascended person maintain a certain degree of clarity under the impact of the potion.

Seeing that Bernadette no longer had any questions, Renekton asked casually, "Why did you appear in the sea?"

Bernadette turned her head to look in the direction of the sea and said calmly:
"I predicted that I would meet the former Patriarch of the Church of the God of War, Larion, here, so I came here in advance to wait."

"After the God War ended, He destroyed all of the church's Level 0 Sealed Artifact data and fled with the Sealed Artifact 0-02, the Brass Book of Trunsoest."
