Chapter 97: Facing the Abyss Head-on
Anna was lying on the bed with her back to Rotgar, and she didn't want to talk to him very much.
She closed her eyes as if she was asleep, but what happened in the bathroom kept flashing in her mind.
She can't help but sneer, the man's mouth, a deceitful ghost.
Rothgar said before that she would wait for the day when she willingly surrendered under him. She was also grateful for him to be such a gentleman, but she didn't expect that he was just talking about it!
What? Does he think that if he doesn't really make the last step, he won't be a guilty one?
Anna covered her face depressed, she really believed in Balan's evil! What a thousand-year-old virgin, that is, the title of Soraxiang, Rotgar knows so much, even she, a traveler from such a developed era of information, can't quite sigh.
Stretching out a hand behind her, she hugged Anna and pulled her back, her back hit Rotgar's hard chest, her body stiffened, and she continued to pretend to sleep with her eyes closed.
Rothgarh certainly felt the changes in Anna's body. He was lazy at the moment, and he wrapped Anna in his arms, his chin against her head, and smiled: "Asleep? Okay, continue training at this intensity tomorrow. ."
"Continue to do this tomorrow"...
Anna found the key words to cry without tears. It was her fault that she shouldn’t have opened Pandora’s Box that day, if she had understood Rotgar’s intentions earlier, that she had no way out at the time, and she wouldn’t have taken off her clothes and turned passive into active... Give him a "good start".
Anna sighed in her heart and slowly relaxed her body.
Forget it, that's how the skills are inferior to people, just wait for her to become stronger!
Maybe it was already satisfied in the bathroom, Rothgar just hugged Anna and didn't do anything more.
Anna was tired for a day, fell asleep quickly, and the quality of her sleep was also very good.
The next day, Anna was trained by Rotgar for a half-day. Fortunately, she was only half tired and could walk on her own without his help. She curiously asked him when she was cooking for herself: "Can I take a look at the abyss tree?"
Rothgar said generously: "We will see when you finish eating."
Anna quickly finished her lunch and followed Rothgar to his room.
It was still the box. Rotgar opened it and turned out a small box from the corner. After opening it, he saw a crystal-transparent oval...stone lying casually inside?
Anna glanced at Rotgar: "Can I pick it up and have a look?"
Rothgar handed the box to Anna's eyes.
She picked up this thing called the Seed of the Abyss. It was about the size of a date pit. She thought it was really a seed, but it didn't look like an organic matter at all, but rather an inorganic matter. But when she picked up this thing, she felt soft when she started, and it was still very elastic when she squeezed it lightly.
After Anna subconsciously squeezed, she remembered that she had forgotten to ask if she could squeeze. She looked at Rotgar and said, "I just accidentally squeezed..."
"It's okay." Rothgar said indifferently.
Anna was relieved, and carefully observed the abyss tree species. She noticed that the thing was said to be transparent, but in fact, some weird fluctuations could be seen in the middle, as if there was a silver line swaying in the center, and it looked a little nice after seeing it too much.
Anna had just watched enough to put the abyss tree seed back into the box, and she saw Rothgar dig out a few things from the bottom of the box.
The same is a bracelet, the same is a short cane, and the same is a leather belt.
She took a closer look, and realized that all three of them were actually "staffs", and they seemed to be quite a few years old.
Rothgar first picked up the belt and threw it aside, then gave the bracelet and short cane to Anna: "Try which one you like."
Anna took the bracelet first, and her mental power carefully penetrated, and she was instantly attracted by the magic circuit inside. Although the magic circuit inside is not as complicated as the teleportation array, it is also more complicated than the magic circuit equivalent to three or four star spells she saw yesterday. There is even a mental power release technique circuit that she just learned about. That is to say, with her current strength, she might be able to use this staff to instantly cast the equivalent of four or five stars. Advanced spells.
She put down the bracelet and went to investigate the short cane. Because the cane was big enough, there were more empty crystals inlaid, and more magic circuits were hidden. She could still use her mental power to use the magic circuits to use them. Many spells.
Anna upgraded from a mage apprentice to a two-star mage too quickly, and then came to the Demon Realm, possessing the mental power equivalent to a three-star mage in the Demon Realm. The average three-star mage always has its own staff, she has one thing to follow, and the staff is naturally not a priority.
And now, there are two top-notch staffs in front of her, which can allow her to use the five-star wizard's staff all the time. Although this staff is not custom-made, it is not completely suitable for her, but she has six element affinity, and she can use many of the spells in these staffs, which is better than nothing.
As the saying goes, children only make choices, and adults want them all.
"I like both." Anna said cheekily. She even glanced at the belt that Rotgar had tossed aside and said, "Can I take another look at that?"
Before replacing it, Rothgar would definitely label Anna as greedy, but now he only thinks her greedy look is very cute.
He pointed to the belt and said, "It's broken, there is no need to look at it."
Then he saw that Anna's expectant expression became disappointed in an instant, and he couldn't hold back his mouth and hooked.
Anna saw that the belt was indeed two generations away from the bracelet and short cane in her hand, and it was very aging. Thinking that it would be enough to have two babies in her hand, she didn't look at the belt again.
She looked at the bracelet and short cane again, and thought about her strength. At present, she was afraid that she could only use the magic staff embedded in it once or twice. If there were more staffs, it would be useless, so she put the short cane back in the box. Put on the bracelet.
This bracelet is made of silver, about one finger thick, with empty crystals on the top. The silver light and the reflected light of the empty crystals complement each other, and the style is very good.
"Thank you, I like this very much." Anna turned her wrist and watched the bracelet change with the light and dark as she turned, the more she looked, the better she felt.
Rothgar took Anna’s bracelet hand and pulled her up: "Go and try."
Anna followed Rotgar downstairs and tried her new staff behind the castle.
What she tried first was the lightning magic circuit in the bracelet, after all, she used the lightning magic the most. She couldn't see the effect of the light perception of the magic circuit. This time she was not the previous temptation when she penetrated into the mental power, but directly tried to stimulate the magic circuit.
A bolt of thunder and lightning suddenly shot straight into the air from her hand, and then fell five meters in front of her with a thunder and lightning rain. The thunder and lightning with thick fingers were densely covered like rain. About one hundred square meters of space was covered by thunder and rain. You can even feel the hairs stand up slightly.
When the thunder and lightning rain, which lasted for nearly ten seconds, dissipated, she saw that the land of about one hundred square meters was hit into a big pit almost half a meter deep.
Those thunder and lightning rains do not work independently, but are connected as a whole. Within the range covered by the thunder and lightning rain, the attacker bears the power of the entire thunder and lightning rain.
Anna looked at the effect of this spell in shock, and said for a long while: "I'll name it'Datian Punishment'!"
Then she realized that the mental energy she had recovered before the meal had already gone halfway.
Not far away, Huihui, who was turning to the ground, and Baimao and his companions who helped Huihui fight, all watched this scene in amazement, stunned for Anna's ability to issue a spell of the level of "Big Heaven's Punishment".
Rothgar only felt that the power was unsatisfactory, but with Anna's current mental power, he couldn't control a more powerful staff, otherwise he would make a new one for her.
He said, "Try something else."
This is almost a four-star spell issued by herself, Anna felt excited, her mental power penetrated into the bracelet, this time she chose a water spell.
The mental energy was evacuated almost instantaneously, and a blue light rushed forward, forming a ball in mid-air, spinning quickly, and swelling into the size of a yoga ball within a second, and then the drop of water like a sharp arrow could not be guessed. The law of shooting outwards, there is nowhere to escape in the entire spherical space covered by the range of the water droplets. And this spherical space has a radius of five meters.
Anna did not control the position of the center of the spell, and she happened to be within the attack range of the spell, but Rothgar had been staring at the side. After the spell was issued, she was immediately taken away from the attack range of the water spell, and she was not injured. .
Anna was in a safe area again before she had time to be afraid. She felt like a child playing with a gun, unable to fully grasp the bracelet.
When she casts "Great Punishment", she still has enough mental power, so she can control it farther away from herself, but when she casts the second spell, her mental power is not much, so she can't control it.
Therefore, if she needs to work hard, she can throw a second spell. But in the Demon Realm, there was Roth Garr inseparable from her, and she didn't have to fight hard with others for the time being.
Anna pushed Rothgar away and sat down on the spot to meditate to restore her mental strength. At present, she only needs to master the two spells in the bracelet as nirvana.
After recovering well, Anna tried the "Big Heaven Punishment" and the water spell which she named "Big Water Ball". It was so difficult to name it, so she just called it out. Anyway, she won't be in the future. Will shout out in front of others...
Before sitting down to meditate for the third time today, Anna suddenly remembered something very curious, and asked Rotgar: "What does it feel like to be possessed?"
Rothgar looked at Anna with interest and said, "Want to try it?"
He has never possessed a woman before, but if it were Anna, he would be willing to try, no... he would love to try.
Anna moved a little bit. According to her past experience, the possessed person will also lose the memory of the possessed period, and the process of being possessed shouldn’t be uncomfortable, otherwise Rotgar won’t ask her to let her. Try it.
But she suddenly remembered something and asked: "After possessing, can you know everything about me?"
Before Roth Garr possessed different people, he seemed to show different personalities. Later, he released himself without disguising himself. But there was no doubt about his possession except for her, so she had every reason to believe that he could obtain some information about the possessed person while possessing him.
Rothgar saw that Anna asked this question, he was a bit regretful, but he did not hide it: "I can get a part of the memory."
Anna just as Rothgar expected, immediately said: "Then I will not try."
She didn't want to share memories of such private things. In addition to the reason why others are ashamed to see her memory, she also has some little secrets that she doesn't want Rothgar to know.
Rotgar smiled: "When you want to try, please tell me at any time."
"I see." Anna responded, but she didn't think about it.
After Anna meditated to restore her mental strength, she was actively trained by Roth Galla.
The spell cast with the bracelet only consumes mental power, but the practice with Rotgar is a double consumption of physical and mental power. It is too late when Anna wants to save herself a little physical power.
When Rotgar was carried into the castle like yesterday, she said angrily: "You deliberately!"
Rothgar's footsteps are steady, and the end of his eyes is picked up: "Anna, you want me to teach you, train you, and make you as strong as I am... I am just satisfying you."
Anna suddenly remembered what she said that day and how she said it, shrank her shoulders, and buried her head in Rotgar's chest.
Well, she's making her own way...
However, it is great to feel that I am really getting stronger. She gets closer to her goal every day.
As for the "sin" she suffered during this period, she can bear it!
Anna looked at Rothgar who put herself in the wooden bathtub and stepped back and looked at her condescendingly, and said to herself, it didn't matter, Shinobu passed.
...
However, he is too good at it!
After a few more days of training like this, Rotgar said to Anna this morning: "Today we can go to the abyss."
Anna was refreshed, and the abyss, this place she had been curious about for a long time, could finally be seen with her own eyes.
Rothgar brought the Abyssal Tree Seed, and Anna had nothing to bring, so she brought only herself.
The two came to the castle terrace, Anna opened her arms around Rotgar's waist, and he took it to the sky.
Rothgar said: "From here to the abyss, even I have to fly for a long time."
Anna suggested: "Maybe we can find some flying monsters to take us over."
Rothgar immediately refused: "No, they are not as fast as me."
He hugged Anna tightly, bowed his head and kissed her on the forehead, and said, "Hold me tight."
Then, he suddenly accelerated.
At first Anna only felt as stimulating as flying in a plane, but then she got used to it. She raised her head a little and said loudly in his ear against the wind: "I have been flying for so long, do you want to take a break?"
Rothgar sneered and refused: "No need!"
How could he be so useless, can't stand it after flying for so little time?
Seeing Rothgar's refusal, Anna stopped talking.
After flying for about an hour or so, Rotgar's speed slowed down.
Anna no longer hid in his arms, turned her head and looked forward.
There is a black hole ahead.
Anna had seen photos of black holes circulating on Weibo in the past. The center was black and there were bright spots around. The scene in front of her was quite similar to the photo she had seen.
It's just that looking at photos is completely different from looking at "real objects" up close. She knew that she was still far away from "the abyss". In her eyes, the abyss was the size of the sun hanging in the sky, but she seemed to feel a strong attraction.
But when she looked away, the attraction disappeared again.
She suddenly remembered the famous saying: When you stare at the abyss, the abyss is staring at you.
Used here, it does not violate peace at all. When she does not look at the abyss, the abyss does not "see" her, she cannot feel the attraction of the abyss, and when she looks at the abyss, it also "sees" her, attracting her strongly.
Anna stared blankly at the abyss getting closer and closer to her, and suddenly said: "You can climb out of the abyss, you are amazing..."
She now understands that the so-called crawling out can be regarded as a metaphor, or as a "fact".
In her world, a black hole cannot escape even light. The abyss is just a little bit like a black hole, but it is definitely not the same thing. Otherwise, she is so close to it now that she has long been attracted by the huge gravitational force, and even the whole There will be nothing left in the Devildom.
But the abyss is indeed very "attractive" to her, which is more of a psychological feeling. She guessed that Rothgar and the five demons flew out of them by relying on their wings, but this attraction is likely to make their "escape" very difficult, in the process of fighting against the attraction of the abyss. It must be very embarrassing to flee by pulling it, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is "crawling out".
Rothgar raised his eyebrows: "Can you feel the attraction of the abyss?"
"Yes, it's so obvious!" Anna said, "If I had wings, I would probably fly towards it."
Rotgar heard this and hugged Anna's arm tightly, frowning and said: "Hold tight, don't let go."
"Don't worry, I won't let go." Anna looked at the abyss that seemed to float on the ground and asked, "What is it like in the abyss?"
Rothgar also looked at the abyss, and after a moment of silence: "A mass of chaos. There is no up and down, no direction, no exit."
Anna looked at him, raised her hand and touched his cheek: "You have already come out."
Rothgar pinched Anna's waist and hugged her higher, kissed her lips lightly, and whispered: "Yes, I'm already out."
Anna hurriedly hugged Rotgar's neck and kissed him back. When he let go of her, she observed his expression and felt that she should be able to ask again, and said: "You consciously, are you in there?"
Perhaps Wenxiang Nephrite reduced the fear of facing the abyss in her arms. Rotgar kissed her on the cheek, while responding briefly: "Yes."
Anna was itchy when he kissed, and she dodged and continued to ask curiously: "Then you were like a child when you came out of it, or are you the same as you are now?"
"My appearance has never changed." Rotgar replied. Although Anna's question was at a tricky angle, he didn't hate it and was happy to answer her.
He used to see Balan and Catherine stick together and felt disgusted. It was his turn to discover that he really wanted to hold Anna all the time, and it was not annoying to hear her ask some messy questions.
Anna heard this and said pityingly: "You have been deprived of your childhood, it's so pitiful."
Rothgar looked at Anna inexplicably.
Anna turned her head and continued to look towards the abyss.
She just couldn't help but imagine what Rothgar would look like if he had a childhood. Just thinking about it would find it very interesting.
Looking at the abyss that seemed to be faintly breathing, Anna asked: "You brought the abyss tree seed, how do you plan to try it?" She said and took out the crystal clear tree seed.
Rothgar was not very wary of Anna running away now, and he didn't care about letting her hold the Abyssal Tree Seed. He is still very eager to lift the Curse of the Abyss, but Anna once said that she can help him during his next attack, and he feels that it is not so urgent to lift the Curse of the Abyss.
"Get closer to the abyss to see if it changes." Rotgar said. He had tried a failed method earlier, because no one could teach him how to do it, so he had to try various methods by himself.
Anna nodded. Anyway, a dead horse is a living doctor.
If she said that before seeing the true appearance of the abyss, she still thought that the curse of the abyss might really be lifted, but after seeing its true appearance, she felt very suspenseful. The abyss seems to have no entity, it is elusive, and there is no direction to try.
Rothgar took Anna to fly forward for a while, until the abyss was nearly a meter in diameter in Anna's eyes.
Anna held the abyss tree seed in her hand and saw no change.
Rotgar flew inside, but the tree species still did not respond.
Rothgar didn't say anything yet, but Anna comforted him and said, "I will help you think of other ways."
Rothgar had never been disappointed by the unresponsiveness of the Abyssal Trees. After all, he had been used to this kind of thing for thousands of years, but he liked to hear Anna comfort him like this.
"you said."
But at this moment, Anna saw a shadow flying in the air in the other direction. When she saw the shadow clearly, she was shocked.
"Anna?" Rotgar noticed Anna's strangeness and followed her gaze.
The figure over there also noticed this side and turned his head.
That is Aosta.
Rothgar hugged Anna tightly, and almost immediately felt the tightness of Anna's body.
He remembered that Anna nearly died in Aosta's hands.
He was almost too late to save Anna.
When Anna was severely injured by Aosta, Rotgar was angry, but he was not angry enough to lose his mind, because he didn't really realize his feelings for Anna at that time.
But now, seeing Aosta again, and feeling the strangeness of Anna facing Aosta-he thought it was fear-he suddenly felt that it was time for the five Great Duke of the Abyss to become four.
The relationship between Rothgar and Aosta has been poor for thousands of years, but everyone is the Great Duke of the Abyss, and no one can do nothing. He does not bother to let Balan besiege Aosta with him, so this situation has continued. Until now.
Rothgar hugged Anna to the ground slowly, holding Anna's cheek and said to her: "Wait for me here. I will let him never hurt you again."
