Chapter 684 – Strange White Shadow
Chapter 684 – Strange White Shadow
Sol was the first to move away from the center of the spell formation when he realized that the eye of the wind had left his body and appeared in the outside world, still expanding rapidly.
“Sol! This way!” Pei’er, who had already landed at the edge of the spell formation, was the first to extend her hand towards Sol.
Almost at the same time, Saul felt a force roll around his waist and abdomen, directly bringing his entire body up.
When Saul cast his Flight Technique again, the speed of traveling was more than double.
Landing his feet outside the spell formation, Saul didn’t have time to thank Pei’er and directly said to Corey, who was standing on the high platform, “Ice Lock Seal!”
Corey immediately nodded his head and took out the mirror that he didn’t use to seal the eye of the wind last time.
Saul turned back to the others, “Immediately terminate the spell and interrupt the energy supply, or the eye of the wind will erupt soon!”
The quality of the wizards from the Stargate Council was still good, although the sudden appearance of the eye of the wind shocked them, once someone started to command them, they immediately started to act in a well-trained manner again.
With the experience of sealing the eye of the wind last time, Keri directly arranged the mirrors near the eye of the wind this time.
This time, Saul volunteered to set up the mirrors.
Byron on the side frowned, “It’s better for me to go.”
Sol looked at the eye of the wind in the spell, which stopped expanding after the spell was terminated.
Sol also breathed a sigh of relief and was in the mood to joke with Byron, “Senior, you can’t run as fast as me now.”
Byron knew that Sol had a point, but he was still frowning tightly.
The last time the eye of the wind appeared, Saul did not allow them to go over, so it was the first time Byron had seen the eye of the wind.
This terrifying vortex didn’t look too eye-catching, but it was rumored to be able to kill most of the inhabitants of the Lordless Land when it truly erupted.
That’s why when the eye of the wind appeared, the people would drop all their affairs and seal the eye of the wind as fast as they could.
Even though the eye of the wind hadn’t continued to expand at this point, Byron always felt uneasy.
He didn’t manage to compete with Saul and had to join the team setting up the ice locking spell formation, hoping to speed up the progress.
Sol also noticed Byron’s nervousness.
Since replacing the locator, Byron was no longer inferior to Saul at all in terms of his talent for mental power.
Therefore Saul also valued Byron’s intuition.
But the sealing was urgent, and no one else had a chance to start over except Saul.
What’s more, this eye of the wind was also very much related to Saul, although he didn’t know when and how it entered his consciousness space, Saul understood that as long as this eye of the wind wasn’t sealed, it would always be a huge hidden danger to him!
As he brought the mirror to the designated location, Saul walked carefully.
The eye of the wind was quiet for the time being, yet there was a possibility that it would be disturbed, so Saul did not use sorcery when he entered the range of the spell again.
All the magic stayed honestly inside his body.
Only the spiritual power kept an eye on the movements of the eye of the wind.
Until Saul walked to the corresponding position and set up the mirror, the eye of the wind did not move.
“Great!”
Some people cheered in small voices from behind them.
A smile hung at the corner of Saul’s mouth as well.
Determining that there was no problem with the angle and position, Saul immediately twisted his body and ran wildly with his legs spread out.
Now the sooner he left the range of the spell seal, the sooner Corey could activate the ice lock seal.
However, just as he ran out two steps, the opposite side of the street, Corey suddenly changed his face.
What could make a perennially expressionless mannequin show a change in mood?
It must have something to do with the eye of the wind.
Thor kept his feet on the ground while his head twisted back as far as it could go.
He was shocked to see that the eye of the wind, which hadn’t moved at all just a moment ago, suddenly began to rotate rapidly.
And a stream of black smoke spread out from the center of the vortex with a bang.
It was as if someone had detonated a bomb.
“How?” Saul’s eyes widened, but his footsteps didn’t dare to stop at all.
“Just now in the moment of turning back. I seem to have seen a white shadow burrowing into the ground?”
Despite vaguely discovering the cause of the abnormality, right now Saul didn’t dare to go near the eye of the wind. Only after completing the seal would he be able to trace the white shadow.
However, Saul turned back and had just run two steps when he suddenly heard the sound of a raging tide coming from behind him.
He stopped directly and stopped running, looking back at the eye of the wind.
“It’s too fast!”
It was clear that there was no energy input, but the eye of the wind still completely exploded within a few seconds of re-spinning.
Saul witnessed what it meant for a person to be powerless under nature.
Because he was the closest to the eye of the wind, he was also the first person to be engulfed by the black wave.
The moment he was engulfed by the wave, Saul struggled to float upwards.
He didn’t use magic or sorcery because he knew that using magic in the black tide was tantamount to accelerating his mutation.
But nevertheless, when Saul managed to surface, he found that his vision had once again faded to black, white, and gray.
Looking down, he realized that there was no longer a single piece of good flesh on his entire body.
Only this time, he surfaced a bit faster, and there were still some internal organs and tendons and skin hanging on his body, but these tissues were also melting at a very fast speed.
It was like putting a snowman on fire.
“Shit!”
Saul cursed in frustration.
He knew that this crisis preview was about to end in failure.
But he continued to look around diligently, trying to find clues to break the game for the third time.
But the scene in front of him soon had Saul clenching his teeth.
The speed at which the black tide was spreading was simply not comparable to that of an ordinary sorcerer.
Even though many people chose to run outside at the first moment the black tide appeared, they still only bought themselves a few minutes.
What was even more terrifying was that even before the Black Tide had spread to their feet, the terrifying pollution it emitted had already begun to cause people to mutate.
All of these mutations looked so painful that even someone like Saul, who considered himself to be of a stoic nature, felt a heart-wrenching suffocation.
Especially when he saw Byron suddenly turned into a drained “fruit”, a little sinking into the water.
Watching Pei’er screaming in panic, but suddenly lost his mind to look at the sky, and then the whole person to the gray sky fell, as if falling into the deep sea.
Watching the powerful Herbert also almost in an instant, the whole body burns, flames spread all over the western surface of the sea.
Watching the consciousness bodies still desperately struggling to come to Saul’s rescue, but one by one, they were torn apart and quickly turned into fragments of evil spirits with distorted faces.
Saul felt that his entire body bones were trembling.
“Cackle cackle cackle cackle ……”
His upper and lower teeth were also clashing fiercely, as if he had been stripped naked and thrown into a glacier in this instant!
He was now incomparably certain that it must have been that white shadow that had suddenly appeared that had affected the eye of the wind.
And it was all premeditated!
Someone knew there was still an eye of the wind that would appear!
Someone knew that this eye of the wind was on Sol!
“Ka-la!”
The image froze and shattered into a million pieces again, as if crushing the flicker of luck in Saul’s heart into powder as well.
Saul opened his eyes again.
In front of him was a group of friends and strangers who still had smiles on their faces and still had hope in their eyes.
“Sorcerer Saul, can we begin?” Corey inquired, still expressionless.
“No!” Sol took a deep breath, then said, “I don’t need the promotion spell to assist in pushing the door anymore.”
The rest of them all looked at Saul in confusion.
“I can already complete the advancement by myself.”
Sol stared calmly back at the crowd.
After all, with the addition of the two Golden Book Page preliminaries, he had already pushed open the inner gate three times.
Any less and it would be time for fate to abandon him!
