The distance of fifty meters seems as long as half a century.

When Sylutia steps into another "color bubble" again, it is like a fish returning to the pond and can breathe again.

She came to the center of this colorful open space and rested under a tree. She lay on the ground and looked up at the low and heavy clouds above her head.

This feeling of oppression is really uncomfortable, as if the sky is falling.

After lying down for a while, Sylutia stood up again. She searched around and found mushrooms with Aspect Power's power under some trees.

Although she didn't know the origin of these mushrooms, she was still going to collect them. At least they were very rare and contained the power of "Aspect Power". They might come in handy later, because most of these mushrooms grew in rings, so Sylutia named them "Ring-Colored Mushroom"

[Ring-Colored Mushroom]: Mushrooms with various colors and different Aspect Power powers are born in the colorful field of the gray and white world.

[Ring-Colored Mushroom(red umbrella)](First Order·Blood Law),[Ring-Colored Mushroom(no blue)](First Order·Spiral Fish),[Ring-Colored Mushroom(black pleat)](First Order·Dead Ember)

At present, she has collected three mushrooms with complete Aspect Power, and carefully put them into the pocket of her cloak.

After resting, she set off again, this time choosing a farther direction, toward another "color bubble" leading to the top of the hillside.

After stepping into the gray world, she once again felt like she was at the bottom of the dark water. Everything was silent, and she could only see her body moving without any sound.

This time she walked farther, and she passed through a gap of about 160 meters before arriving at this "color bubble" to rest.

The physical exertion was not great, but the consumption of "Emerald Nectar" made her feel a little tired.

If we use 100% battery as an analogy, the trip just now consumed about 4% of the battery, and currently 95% is left.

There is still plenty of it, but she has to consider the extreme situation of being unable to get out of here if she runs out of it.

Just when Sylutia was leaning under the tree, thinking about how to save energy and energy, and try to find a way out, a special "fallen leaf" slowly floated down from above this small forest.

The brown leaves were similar to the surrounding leaves, but the texture was more complex and even a little weird. When it fell on the grass behind Sylutia, it suddenly twisted. The leaf kicked up like a living animal, jumped up the trunk, and attacked the girl's unprotected back neck from the side and behind.

Snap--

Even though she didn't see it, the [Natural Perception Lv.2] that came with Sylutia after the upgrade still made her react. Under the acceleration of Breathing Technique, her body jumped forward quickly and fanned away this weird monster with the back of her hand.

The violent force knocked the fallen leaf to the trunk of the tree, and then slid down. At this time, the girl suppressed the nausea that she had just touched with the back of her hand and concentrated on observing the other person.

[Fallen Leaf Monster](Aspect Power: Distortion): A strange and unnatural life. There are two black eyes under the leaves, and then there are small jagged tentacles on the edges of the leaves.

[Distortion]Aspect Power!

Sylutia's pupils were slightly dilated. This was the first time she had seen this kind of Aspect Power.

Aspect Power[Distortion]: Dirty instincts and out-of-control melodies.

Aspect Power is almost completely negative, has no way to control, and pollutes the world. According to records, the entire "Seventh Era" is fighting against the power of this "Aspect Power".

Why did the ancestors of mankind, "King of Ancient Barbarism" Mureto, lead the people through Star-Bound Wilderness, trekking for nearly twelve years? It was because the place where they once lived was eroded and corrupted by the power of Aspect Power, making them unable to survive.

As for the origin of this Aspect Power, it is recorded in the secret history that it was because of the third arrival of Alien Star that the stars from another world tore up the sky and descended into this world. Their invisibly spreading power caused the Distortion mutation in this world, and thus [Distortion] Aspect Power was born.

Compared with the first time when the world was given life, the second time when the world was given light, and the third time when Alien Star came, what was given to the world was chaos and destruction. The sky fell, and countless dragonborn and Fairy died. In order to resist the tearing Impact of Alien Star, as well as the prying eyes of the great beings from the outside world, Long and Fairy rarely joined forces to resolve the conflicts in the past and fight this disaster together.

Seventh Era is destined to be an era full of chaos and decline. Many beings in the ancient era died, the earth was penetrated, and the shell of the world shattered. The always optimistic Fairy also fell into despair in that era.

After recalling the knowledge in her mind, Sylutia once again looked at the monster in front of her. Although the monster didn't look big, she didn't dare to be careless.

Pulling out the dagger from his waist, Sylutia adjusted his breathing. After observing Sylutia for a while, "Fallen Leaf Monster" launched another attack. It first ran around Sylutia, trying to attack the girl from behind again.

However, when this sneak attack was discovered, the process became a bit funny, because the opponent had no legs and could only move by tiny tentacles and the bouncing of the leaves when they were bent. With these two methods of movement, the girl could easily find the rhythm and pattern and get out of the way easily.

When he found that he had failed to maneuver around, the little monster seemed very annoyed. He shook the tiny tentacles around his body, made a strange hissing sound, and then tried to maneuver around again.

Of course, it still didn't succeed this time. Sylutia, who was already familiar with its behavior, shifted its steps slightly to increase the distance and invalidate the opponent's maneuver.

Then, it tries to wrap around again.

At this time Sylutia began to understand that the other party's intelligence was quite limited, or that he was unable to carry out complex thinking at all and would only keep repeating a certain process.

It was getting a bit boring now, the girl thought, but she still carefully observed it for a while before actually taking action.

The dagger accurately stabbed Fallen Leaf Monster in the air, picked it up, and nailed it to the tree trunk.

Black blood overflowed from the "fallen leaf" wound, and bursts of green smoke emitted from the bark of the flowing tree, and then the tree deformed to some extent Distortion.

Now Sylutia finally understands why the trees here have strange and abnormal shapes.

It seems that [Distortion]Aspect Power has penetrated into various places, including these trees, the only difference is the severity.

The only thing that makes Sylutia curious is how those mushrooms grow. Could it be that ancient Aspect Power like "Mycelial Thread" is really resistant to Distortion erosion.

The blood is not blood, but some kind of liquid and black mist. When Fallen Leaf Monster's blood flows down, it initially spreads along the bark of the tree, but soon evaporates into the air and penetrates into the surrounding things.

Finally, Sylutia pulled out the sword blade and found that even the forged blade had undergone some kind of deformation Distortion, with the front section of the sword becoming curved and warped.

This kind of erosion is too weird and powerful. No wonder the Fairys back then couldn't do anything with [Distortion].

As for how the various races defeated [Distortion] at that time, in fact, there was no victory in that war at all, and the Twilight Sea beneath the seven continents was the cemetery where countless Distortion monsters accumulated.

Sea of Primordial Embryos has been polluted, and the source of all life rhythms [Blood Law] has been connected to [Distortion]. In the depths of the Twilight Sea, the Distortion evil things that destroy the world are bred.
