LOL: The dark goddess covets me!

Chapter 24 The Curse of the Water of Life

The night was quiet and the breeze was blowing.

On the outskirts of the city, slices of farmhouses and wheat fields divided into standard symmetrical shapes, covered with white gauze intertwined with silver moon and haze.

Ryze held the rune tome tightly in his arms, panting and running under the moonlit night, looking back in horror at the dark and quiet curtain from time to time.

In the next second, a white figure suddenly emerged from the empty wilderness.

It floated in mid-air, its legs were completely submerged in nothingness, without touching the ground, its entire ethereal and illusory body appeared translucent, wrapped in the robe.

Ryze couldn't see the traces of the five senses on its smooth, blank face. It was a ghost, a ghost wandering the world, remnants from the past... and the curse of the water of life.

The ghost's empty face was aimed directly at the magic apprentice who was exposed to arcane runes for the first time.

Ryze could imagine that if it had eyes and mouth expressions, the corners of its mouth would curl up terrifyingly, and it would stare at itself with dead eyes.

After bypassing several luxurious farmhouses with carved beams and painted buildings, the ghost is still chasing after him.

Ryze was still thinking wildly in his mind, the next moment, the ghost raised his skinny finger flooded with blue light and pointed at Ryze, and his figure suddenly sped up.

"Damn, damn it!"

Ryze, who was almost pierced by it, rolled down to avoid the sudden attack, cursing like venting.

The fear in my heart reached the extreme, gradually turning into a volcanic eruption of fury.

"I feel the sand in my hands, I feel the sand in my hands!"

According to the meditation method taught by Tyrus at the beginning, Ruiz closed his eyes and muttered in his mouth, replaying the meditation scene under the guidance of his master in his mind, as if he was on the scene.

Immediately afterwards, when the ghost turned around again to launch a charge, Ryze took a deep breath, and part of the magic essence in the air was sucked into the body along with the breath.

Recalling his research on arcane runes in just a few days, Ryze suddenly opened his eyes that shone with purple-blue arcane light, and his body exuded magical light.

When the ghost was only a few steps away from him, he raised his hand and drew a purple overload rune.

The arcane energy burst out, and the purple energy group rushed forward at a speed far exceeding that of the phantom sprint, leaving a series of dense rune traces in the air.

However, as early as when Ryze cast his magic, the ghost had already sensed the danger.

The moment the arcane rune was released, its illusory figure had dissipated, as if it had escaped from the realm of reality.

The supercharged energy cluster hit the wall of a barn, and the bursting magic light blasted a smooth opening. The cattle and sheep inside screamed in horror, and the shepherd dogs guarding the herd rushed out of the fence and barked at the corner of the street.

Ryze looked at his right hand in amazement, which was the first time he had actually released the rune magic.

In the past, he could just rely on his talent to pry open some rune locks.

Ryze never imagined that he would be able to unleash such amazingly powerful magic one day.

But there was no time to think too much, more than 20 families in the whole village were awakened by the movement just now.

The light of the holy stone penetrated through the cracks in the windows and doors, and someone had already come out of the house to check the situation.

"Damn it!"

Ruiz cursed secretly, not daring to stay here any longer.

Gliding grimly through the intricate triangles and rhombuses of the intricately designed village streets, his hurried figure melted back into the night.

……

……

On the other side, Josh's mansion.

In the evening, Ahri took the initiative to provoke a "war" and played with Josh in the water, his clothes were almost soaked.

Finally, she has friends of her own age. Ahri has been suppressed since she was a child, and her belated "child nature" has finally been completely released, and she has experienced the joy of getting along with her friends.

Although afterwards, Ari felt ashamed that her behavior was really naive, but she was able to play with Josh, who understood her and was willing to accompany her crazy, so she had no worries and restraints.

Good friends are supposed to be happy, to show each other, to confide in each other, why should they hide their true selves?

In this way, until the sun melted into the haze and the temperature dropped completely, the two returned to the house, each occupying a separate bathroom, soaking in the hot spring purified by magic.

After taking a bath, Ari temporarily put on Josh's clothes, chatted happily, and waited for him to dry his clothes with magic, and then reluctantly bid farewell to leave.

The night was dark and another beautiful day ended, Josh put on his pajamas and fell asleep.

However, after falling asleep for a while, Lunicia woke him up again: [Something is wrong...Josh, wake up! 】

Even if he is talented in arcane arts, Josh is still a mortal body of flesh and blood, and needs to recover his energy through sleep.

Yesterday, he had a nightmare and didn't sleep well. Today, he just closed his eyes for an unknown period of time. He was woken up again while still tired.

But Lunicia didn't give him a chance to lose his temper, and warned seriously: [I feel the breath of life and death intertwined, it's nearby! 】

The anger that emerged quickly subsided, and Josh was slightly stunned.

After spending so many days together, he had never seen Lunisia so serious.

Life and death are intertwined, could it be the curse of ruin?

It shouldn't be, since Kalista hasn't returned to Kamavia yet, and the Water of Life hasn't even sent back the news, how could Vyego enter Blessed Island?
"What the hell is going on...huh?!"

Josh just got up from the bed, and he didn't even finish his question. There was a bit of rancid taste of metal in his mouth, and he felt the resonance of rune magic.

Hastily putting on the short boots, without even having time to change his clothes, Josh rushed out of the front door of the house, squinting into the distance along the source of the magic power.

More than a minute had passed since the last arcane energy fluctuation, and the dark dirt road leading to Hylia burst out with the light of arcane magic again, illuminating a familiar figure.

"Ryze?!"

Josh drew in the magic power, and first used the magic power to guide, temporarily sealing the arcane energy in the blood.

With the blessing of the runes, his running speed skyrocketed.

The arcane magic power was boiling like a furnace, and the complex and mysterious cuneiform runes were engraved on Josh's skin from the inside to the outside, shining blue and purple light one by one, ready to cast spells in advance.

When he was within a few dozen steps of Ryze, Josh suddenly discovered that the ones chasing Ryze and forcing him to use magic were actually a few faceless white ghosts.

[Is that really the case? 】Lunicia murmured like a riddler.

"What is this?"

[Instead of asking me this, you might as well ask your junior brother later, how did you provoke them. ] Lunicia has no intention of answering Josh's question for the time being.

The energy gathering materialized, and Josh threw a ball of arcane energy, which exploded to a ghost that was trying to attack Ryze from behind.

The white translucent body was affected by the overloaded magic explosion and turned into misty smoke and particles. In the blink of an eye, a ghost disappeared as if it evaporated.

Immediately afterwards, two more ghosts turned to Josh with blank faces, as if they had seen some rare delicacy, they bared their teeth and claws greedily, and floated towards Josh without making a sound.

Raising his hand, another supercharged magic explosion broke up a group of ghosts who tried to avoid it, but failed to dodge.

And the skinny claws of another ghost that was close at hand was about to grab Josh, but his hands were blocked by a layer of translucent barriers, splashing a burst of gleaming rune light.

Twisting his body in pain, he bumped into the rune barrier a few times but couldn't break free. The ghost was quickly annihilated under the consumption of magic power, and there was nothing left in the narrow space confined by the dissipated rune.

At this moment, Ryze also threw a ball of arcane energy, which hit the last faceless ghost.

Then, as if he was out of strength, he knelt down and collapsed on the ground, panting heavily, trembling all over, he couldn't even hold the classics in his arms, and fell to the ground.

Josh trotted quickly to Ruiz's side, glanced at the books on the ground, and then looked around vigilantly, always on guard to prevent the ghost from reappearing.

At the same time, he asked sharply: "How did you provoke these things?!"

"curse……"

Sitting on the ground, still in shock, Ruiz muttered his dry lips, his eyes were lost and said: "Curse from... the water of life."

　Recommend a boutique cultivating immortals:

　　Traveling to a world where Shinto ruled the world, it has only been a few hundred years since Shenting swept the world.

　　Lin Xiao, who devoted himself to cultivating immortals and didn't want to get involved in the twists and turns of the gods, could only seal himself into the Lingbao, Universe, Sun and Moon Pot.

　　Open a cave in the pot, refine the sun and the moon, if you can't cultivate into a heavenly immortal, I will cultivate an earthly immortal, and the gods will merge into the cave to transform the heaven and the earth.

　　From time to time, hold a Dharma meeting, hold a peach feast, and distribute some treasures of chance.

　　No matter how many tens of thousands of years you have been coercing the court of God, I will be at ease in the pot and watch the court of God rise and fall, and then watch the court of God collapse.
