After dealing with this "Fallen Leaf Monster", Sylutia felt slightly relaxed, and then she looked around the small forest clearing again, looking for similar monsters that might exist.
Sure enough, during the search, she found two more "monsters" disguised as leaves and killed them with a sword.
Black blood flowed along the blade, and wherever it went the blade twisted and twisted like an earthworm.
This sword was probably useless, Sylutia couldn't help but shake her head, but she had no better choice now, so she could only make do with it.
After resting for a while, she headed up the hillside again. This time there were no accidents, and there were no monsters in this clearing -
But there are strange trees.
A big tree Distortion stands in the center of the "Color Bubbles" field. There are no leaves on its broad crown, but various nodular hanging branches. These hanging branches seem to have various tumors, and they look disgusting and weird.
If you can't see the enemy in a very chaotic and dangerous place, then the biggest enemy is probably right in front of you.
Sylutia looked at the big tree from a distance and did not approach it rashly.
[Knotted Tree](Aspect Power: Distortion): A weird variant of the banyan tree, with no leaves but many branches with many nodules.
Considering that standing still was not an option, Sylutia picked up the stone and threw it at the big tree, but it did not trigger any reaction.
Do you have to walk over by yourself to get a reaction, she couldn't help but wonder.
Forget it, it's better not to take this risk. She would rather take a detour than be captured by a big tree. If she really can't escape, wouldn't she regret it?
Sylutia decided to be cautious and did not continue walking forward. Instead, he walked around the edge of the big tree and slowly moved to the opposite side, stepping into the gray world again.
When she left, the dead bark in the center of the big tree slowly cracked, revealing something like a human face, looking in the direction the girl left.
"I smell the breath of the supreme... Are there any "blessed ones" coming to this forgotten corner?"
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, Aibosi is unable to fight anymore. We can only survive by living in symbiosis with these Distortion evil creatures."
In the gap between its cracked mouth, you can vaguely see that the center of the tree trunk has become a cavity, and various corpses and bones are piled inside. Those ferocious skulls tell the story of the strength and terror of the past.
Far away from the "color bubble" node not long ago, Sylutia continued to move forward, traveling through the gray world until it reached another "color bubble" near the top of the mountain.
People have been here before!
Sylutia The moment he stepped in, he noticed that this place was different from the previous places. There were broken handles of weapons, broken leather armor, and traces of campfires on the ground.
Then she searched forward again, and the light in her pupils moved, allowing her to see clearly the cave hidden behind the thick bushes. There seemed to be some kind of monster lurking there, and there was also a vague odor floating in the air.
Covering her hair in front of her body, she breathed a little to regain her strength, and then looked around with vigilant eyes, looking for monsters that might be lurking.
[Natural Perception Lv.2] plus [Identification Pupil Lv.3], with the blessing of these two destiny effects that are good at perception and observation, she has a keenness that far exceeds First Order Insight, if there is one more point to mention, it is that "Radiant Moon" is the only Aspect Power among all Aspect Power who focuses on clarity and flawlessness, and is also the nemesis of many illusions.
Even though she did not practice "Radiant Moon" Aspect Power, her affinity for Radiant Moon still retained some of her qualities.
There are many ruins and debris around, but there are no monsters, so the only possibility is the cave behind the bushes, Sylutia is thinking.
As a practitioner of "Emerald Nectar" Aspect Power, she is not as good at fighting as "Blood Law". If given the chance, she will try to avoid using fighting to solve problems.
It seemed better to retreat at this time, but... the road to the top of the mountain was right next to the cave. If she took a detour, the rest of the way would be steep cliffs. Not only would it be difficult for her to climb, but it would also cost her more energy to trek through the gray world.
It seems that the forerunners who came here in the past also encountered the same problem as herself, she thought to herself as she looked at the ruins of the bonfire at her feet.
Continue to take a detour and give it a try.
Taking a detour will consume extra stamina and strength, and you may not be able to find the way to the mountain. If you don't take a detour, you will face unknown dangers.
It was really hard to make a choice. She twirled her hair with her fingers and thought.
But at this time, there seemed to be no need to think, because the monster in the cave seemed to smell the breath of a stranger and came out of it.
It is hard to imagine that from the small cave, like liquid overflowing, a strange black cat taller than Sylutia and bigger than a cow walked out. The black hair on its body was like the dark night, making its shape a little blurry. The only eye-catching thing was the pair of fierce orange eyes.
"Hiss--"
The exposed teeth are sharp and slender, and they can be said to be beasts. The power inherited in their blood makes them have powerful claws and horns.
[Pitch-Dark Strange Cat](Distortion): Fuzzy shape, weird black hair like liquid, extremely ferocious.
Looking at the tall Strange Black Cat in the distance, and then at the dagger Distortion in his hand, Sylutia thought it was better not to fight and prepare to escape first.
She leapt backwards into the gray and white world, preparing to head to other safe colored bubbles.
However, she soon discovered that her idea was wrong. This Black Cat also entered the gray and white world. The jet black ink flowed around the edges of its body, like ink melting away, allowing it to gain the ability to move in the gray and white world.
As a last resort, Sylutia accelerated again, avoided Black Cat's attack, and rushed into the colorful bubble again.
Stepping onto the grass, Sylutia kicked his feet, the sword blade in his hand turned, cut Sharpness's sword mark, and hit the black-haired front paw that fell down.
The expected huge force did not come, it was like hitting an inflated balloon. After breaking through the toughness of the surface, there was nothing air inside.
Black Cat was slightly injured, and black liquid and smoke overflowed from his front paws, which was constantly steaming.
Is this the only level, Sylutia thought to himself, but felt something was wrong. If it can be defeated so easily, then why are there so many broken blades on the ground?
After being injured, Black Cat arched its back, and its fuzzy hair suddenly spread out like a hedgehog. Sharpness, it neighed and roared again, and then rushed towards Sylutia.
The girl stood up and whirled around, waving the sword blade in her hand into a shining silver arc, like a new moon appearing, Sharpness's sword blade split from Black Cat's eyebrows.
As if the skin was torn apart in an instant, Black Cat's body split from the middle, but it did not die. The two split eyes were still staring at Sylutia, and then they jumped forward, and the internal organs behind the head were like rolling black mist, submerging Sylutia.
Damn it, this is its real attack method.
The completely unreasonable attack method caught Sylutia off guard, and he had no time to react. He was completely submerged in the thick black fog.
All the light and sound disappeared, and nothing could be touched around him. There was only endless void, and the invisible Distortion came from the surface of the body. The beginning was the slender blood vessels. Under the power of Distortion's Aspect Power, chaos occurred. The blood was flowing backwards, and the blood vessels were twisting like insects.
Then came the internal organs, like invisible hands tearing and pulling the organs in the body, and various internal organs began to dislocate. This feeling made Sylutia feel sick.
In the end, even the invisible Fate Disk deep in the soul also appeared with thick black Distortion fog. They entered from all directions and gradually spread, dyeing the [Breathing Technique Lv.3][Blossom Method Lv.1] below them black.
Like a virus, the originally gorgeous and clear cards became cloudy, and black spots appeared on them, spreading little by little and eating away at the cards.
[Breathing Technique Lv.3], as a level three card, can still resist, but [Blossom Method], which is only level one, quickly shattered under the erosion of Distortion and turned into debris and scattered. The result was that Sylutia lost the newly learned [Blossom Method] and could no longer use the abilities of Blossom Method.
Not only that, these black Distortion thick fog also opened the way to the central Fate Card due to the destruction of [Blossom Method], and began to erode and spread towards that [Gardening Apprentice Girl].
If even Fate Card is shattered, it also means the end of Sylutia's life.
