Azur Lane: I Traveled Through Graduation Port

Lin Lan believed that Yunxian, Nagato and the others could come in here at any time and get rid of the black beast.

But through his observation just now, he already understood why they didn't do that.

Obviously, once the invisible breath senses a threat, it will directly dissipate its body and hide in the darkness.

He finally understood why Unzen would always stay around the sacred tree.

The great sage of Sakura Empire knew this, which was why he guarded the sacred tree and came here from time to time to prevent the invisible breath from secretly devouring the power of faith.

"It's just... you dare to devour the power of faith so openly in front of me. Isn't that a bit too disrespectful?"

After figuring out the whole story, Lin Lan smiled coldly and began to devote all his mental power to driving the Touch of Holy Mercy.

As a massive amount of mental power was transformed, in this originally dark space, above the huge airflow body of the Invisible Breath, an illusory white net began to materialize.

Lin Lan planned to use this large net with purifying power to firmly control the fragments of the invisible breath so that it could no longer escape or dissipate.

Even though he couldn't eliminate the invisible breath, he believed that Yunxian and Nagato would be here soon.

Although this big white net covering the sky seems to have many meshes, these meshes are just an illusion.

Once enveloped by the invisible breath, there will be no possibility of escape.

Chapter 714: You Win (3300 words)

Just as Lin Lan was watching the big net gradually taking shape and slowly approaching the invisible body that was feasting on the light dots of the power of faith...

"This is in vain—"

As if noticing his little action, the Invisible Breath raised its head and looked at the big net, and actually shouted this sentence in a very human and mocking tone.

When Lin Lan heard this, his heart trembled.

Didn't Yun Xian say that the will of the Invisible Breath had been destroyed? What the hell was this dismissive tone?

Is this also the instinct of the invisible breath fragments?

Countless question marks suddenly popped up in Lin Lan's mind, but no matter what, since this monster had discovered his actions, he had to protect himself before Yunxian and Nagato came in.

So he took the reality lens from his pocket and prepared to test the strength of this terrifying beast.

But the next second, the action of the invisible breath made him stunned for a moment.

This black dragon-headed giant beast actually pushed several spots of faith power that were floating from afar in front of him using its black aura.

And after these black auras and light spots of faith power came into contact with him, they were all integrated into his body.

All this happened in a flash, which scared Lin Lan so much that he quickly checked whether there were any changes inside his body.

"This is in vain—"

While he was stunned, the ferocious black dragon-headed beast shifted its gaze away from him, opened its mouth again to swallow the light spot of power of faith, still repeating these words.

However, Lin Lan actually heard a hint of boasting in the invisible breath's tone.

After he carefully examined his body, he found that apart from the normal growth of his mental power, there were indeed no abnormal changes in his body.

To be precise, when these black auras touched his body, he felt a slight sense of disgust, anger and destructive desire in his heart.

But that's about it.

Just like when he smashed the meta crystal for Shattered Dome and touched the meta energy, this negative emotion that came and went quickly had no effect on him at all.

Lin Lan looked up at the black beast again and found that as the invisible breath continued to devour the power of faith, the anger in its scarlet eyes was gradually fading away.

Instead, the emotion revealed was one of disdain for the white net that was forming above his head.

"You...are you treating me as a fellow brother?"

Lin Lan thought carefully for a long time and finally came up with a seemingly reasonable explanation for the behavior of the invisible breath.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Invisible Breath, he was also imprisoned here by the Sakura Empire's ship girls.

Lin Lan clearly remembered that the Invisible Breath's character in the game was very cunning, vicious, and selfish, and it was absolutely impossible for him to share "food" with others.

But he seriously doubted whether the Invisible Breath had any fellow creatures.

Lin Lan stroked his chin, looking at the giant beast that was fully devoted to devouring the light spot of faith power, and kept thinking in his heart:

"Logically speaking, the invisible breath in the game's plot has indeed had its will destroyed by Yunxian and Nagato."

"And now

Is this giant beast the new will that grew out of the Invisible Breath Fragment after it devoured the power of faith in the Divine Tree?"

"If we fight with it later, it is very likely that the barrier space inside this sacred tree will be destroyed. However, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to purify it directly with my own strength..."

"If it really understands me, maybe..."

While thinking, Lin Lan was still investing his mental energy into the giant net, making this overwhelming white net completely take shape.

"Hey! Xi, let's make a bet."

After thinking for a long time, Lin Lan looked at the dragon-headed beast in the black space, made a decision secretly, and shouted loudly in an unconvinced tone:

"You look down on this big net of mine, don't you? If you are controlled by it and can't break free, you will be taken out of here by me and become my follower from now on. How about that?"

After shouting this, Lin Lan observed the invisible breath's every move with extreme vigilance.

He was betting that the current will of the Invisible Breath was a fool.

Regardless of whether the Invisible Breath agrees to his bet, he can rely on this big net formed by mental power to wrap it up and delay it for enough time.

If Yunxian and Nagato discovered that his body in the outside world had changed due to the consumption of a huge amount of mental energy, they would definitely rush here as soon as possible.

However, it would be better if he could avoid fighting here, bring the invisible breath out of this space and then destroy it, minimizing the damage here.

Under his provocative gaze, the giant dragon-headed beast composed of black aura stopped devouring the light spots of the power of faith and stared at him.

"This is in vain—"

Two or three seconds later, the invisible breath responded to his bet.

Although it was still the same repetitive words, it seemed as if it was imitating him, and the tone also turned into a provocative one full of fighting intent.

Seeing this, Lin Lan no longer hesitated.

He raised his right hand and squeezed the black beast's body with all his strength:

"combine!"

Under the control of his mind, this huge white net that almost covered the entire sky of this barrier space suddenly fell down and shrank.

The Invisible Breath's huge body composed of black aura was suddenly enveloped by this giant net.

"Roar--"

The black beast suddenly opened its mouth and let out an angry and crazy roar, as if it wanted to use its materialized black breath, claws and teeth to tear the giant net into pieces.

But when its black body came into contact with the giant white net, a large amount of white mist instantly emanated.

It was as if this giant web was filled with scorching heat, constantly evaporating the black airflow body of the invisible breath.

"This is in vain—!"

“This is in vain!!”

"This is in vain!"

As the giant net began to close in, the heart-wrenching roars of the Invisible Breath Fragments became more and more crazy and angry, and the struggle became more and more intense.

After trying to tear the giant net apart in vain, the black beast began to constantly reshape its body in an attempt to break through.

Sometimes it turned into a black nine-tailed fox, sometimes it turned into a large number of humanoid silhouettes in ship-like outfits firing at the giant net, or it turned directly into black mist.

To penetrate through the mesh of the giant net.

But all these efforts were in vain under the contraction of the giant net controlled by Lin Lan.

Lin Lan's face was also a little pale. The crazy counterattack of the invisible breath fragments was consuming a lot of his mental energy.

There were even several times when he almost lost his composure and allowed this crazy black beast to break out of the net.

But as he watched the white net shrinking smaller and smaller, Lin Lan had a sneer on his face.

At this moment, his mental recovery speed was already strangely fast, as if it had broken through the original level limit of the passive mental recovery skill.

More importantly, he also used some tricks to avoid the opponent, constantly absorbing the light spots of power of faith surrounding the branches of the sacred tree behind him.

The speed of mental power recovery combined with these two is almost like using a cheat.

As long as the struggle of the invisible breath did not empty his mental power at once, his mental power could be fully replenished in a moment.

"Hold on, Commander. Nagato and I will be with you soon!"

At this moment, Lin Lan finally heard Yun Xian's hurried voice.

Two white whirlpools appeared in front of the trunk of the sacred tree behind him. There was no doubt that Yunxian and Nagato would reach his side soon.

"I'm fine, you guys..."

"This is in vain—!"

Lin Lan was just about to respond to Yun Xian's words, telling them not to worry too much.

However, the invisible breath that was still struggling seemed to sense that its natural enemy was approaching and let out a roar filled with fear.

The next second, the monster, which had completely transformed into a black aura form, seemed to have given up resistance and allowed the giant net that had shrunk into a sphere to continue shrinking.

The pair of scarlet eyes in the black aura stared at Lin Lan, and he actually made him feel like an intelligent life that had made some kind of decision.

"puff!"

Following a dull sound of destruction, Lin Lan suddenly felt the pressure he had put to suppress the invisible breath in the net suddenly disappear.

In contrast, there was a surge of anger, bloodthirstiness and crazy desire for destruction that continued to surge up from his heart.

"This is in vain—"

The weak voice of the invisible breath once again rang in his ears, but this time, Lin Lan actually felt that the voice seemed to come from his body.

He shook his head, and soon, the negative emotion disappeared as if it had never appeared.

But when he looked at the white net that had shrunk to the size of a ball again, he was shocked to find that there was no trace of life in the net.

"Shit, I'm not going to be possessed by this thing!"

Lin Lan was shocked. After controlling the white net to completely shrink into a point and dissipate, he hurriedly checked his body.

Fortunately, there were no signs of erosion in his body.

But just as he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his hero skill bar, he suddenly froze.

Because at the top of his hero skill bar, a dynamic black skill icon appeared out of thin air, which was completely different from all the other hero skill icons.

In this icon surrounded by a circle of flowing black energy, a slender scarlet eye was staring at him coldly.

On this skill introduction page filled with ominous omens, the skill name is a question mark, the skill effect is a question mark, and basically everything else is a question mark.

In addition to the requirement to pay fifty points of faith power in the usage requirements, there are only seven large words written in black flowing aura at the end of the skill notes:

You won, it was all in vain.

Seeing this line of words, Lin Lan felt numb all over.

The invisible breath actually chose to actively enter his body, merge with the brave's skill bar, and become one of his skills?

What a joke!

This inexplicable ending made Lin Lan sit down on the ground immediately, with grief and regret written all over his face:

"I was just lying to you! Why are you so honest? Are you serious with me?!"

He originally just wanted to stimulate the invisible breath by making a bet, so as to delay time.

If the invisible breath cannot break free from the white net, he can ask Nagato and Yunxian to take it out of this space and deal with it.

At worst, if this white net cannot completely restrain Xi, he can also delay until the two Sakura Empire ship girls arrive and kill him on the spot.

From the beginning to the end, he never thought that there was a possibility that this crazy monster would voluntarily admit defeat.

Not to mention that this monster seemed to be afraid that he would go back on his word, so it directly integrated itself into his hero skill column, becoming a special skill that he couldn't get rid of.

Now that’s great, he might really have to take this thing out.
