A figure of madness
"You've got it all, why not give it a try?"
The white skeletons looked at Lumian who was possessed by the terrifying aura Intimidation, and laughed happily, mockingly, exaggeratedly or crazily.
Wow!
The dim spring water that was not enough Paleness gushes out of the dark hole and fills the small "pond".
Compared with before, there was an additional figure in the water.
The figure seemed to be violently Burning, and the almost colorless Flames enveloped his whole body.
He obviously only occupies a corner of the spring, but Lumian, who was frozen, felt that he was extremely huge, comparable to Mountain Peak.
Among the nearly invisible Flames, this figure revealed Blood-Colored's long, dull hair, and its sculptured face was covered with traces of rot and pus. The bones inside shone with a steel-like metallic luster. The pair of Iron-Black and Eyes were suspected of being "rusty", revealing a somewhat ferocious Blood-Colored.
This figure kept dripping yellow "Magma", which was quickly extinguished by the spring water of Paleness.
As "Samaritan Woman Spring" spewed out again, the densely packed white skeletons that made the sound simultaneously fell silent and scattered, as if they were about to decay into mud.
After seeing the rotting figure like Mountain Peak, the smell of blood and rust in Lumian's nose became stronger and stronger. The spirit of Intimidation was infected with the madness that wanted to destroy everything, which completely ignited the existing irritability and ferocity.
If he hadn't been in a state of near-death and even his thoughts had completely withered, he would have lost Rationality and become Madman.
In that case, he may Loss of Control at any time.
But even so, he still stood frozen in place, as if facing the most feared natural enemy, he could only tremble, forgetting to resist and escape.
Wow!
The highly decayed and Burning invisible Flames figure stepped on the dark hole, tried its best to walk towards the edge of "Samaritan Woman Spring", tried to find out the right palm that was constantly dripping with light yellow and red liquid, and grabbed Lumian standing there.
La la la, the spring water surged, and the light mist gathered, preventing the figure that gave people the illusion of Mountain Peak from leaving the spring.
The figure let out a low roar, and the iron-black and red Eyes made the Corruption feel pure madness just by looking at it.
Affected by this, Lumian's mind buzzed and went blank, while "Samaritan Woman Spring" shook violently.
Although the terrifying figure failed to escape from the shackles of the spring, it successfully prevented them from shrinking back into the dark hole.
At the same time, the rotten and dim figures floating in the spring were driven by low roars and swarmed towards the shore.
Among them are pus-oozing women with a tranquil temperament like Evernight, a rotten Corpse wearing a yellow Golden Crown crown, an iron-colored skeleton with a large number of greasy feathers, a figure that seems to be made of countless broken Maggots Entanglement, and a strange existence that only leaves a black mass...
These figures were also unable to escape from the "Fountain of the Samaritan Woman", but they approached the edge and stretched out towards Lumian's feet palms that were either pale and oozing with pus, or highly rotten, or covered with yellowish feathers, or composed of disgusting maggots.
The long black hair floating on the water like a clump of Weeds suddenly came to life and extended rapidly outside the spring.
The women in white robes wandering around the "Fountain of the Samaritan Woman" were instantly entangled with layers of long black hair, and Lumian's figure was reflected in their dull and cold blue eyes.
Lumian was grabbed by the weird and terrifying palms, pulled by the long black hair, and slowly and uncontrollably slid towards "Samaritan Woman Spring", approaching the huge figure composed of madness and Flames.
His body became colder and colder, and his thoughts became more and more blank.
At this moment, his eyes suddenly lost all light and were tainted with the deepest and deepest darkness.
The melodious singing and chanting came from afar, making the area peaceful and quiet, making those vague and dim figures no longer so crazy, as if they were affected by Soothing.
The terrifying palms that grabbed Lumian's feet and nearly froze his spirit and flesh all retracted. The long black hair pulling his body lost its activity and fell to the ground. The figure of Witch hovering around "Samaritan Woman Spring" also stopped, as if listening to the music of the night.
Even the scariest and craziest figure appeared sluggish, because the terrifying aura derived from it became much weaker.
Lumian then regained his thoughts and instantly figured out what happened:
The thief who stole Earthblood Ore is Monet of "Different from the Rest" Dance Hall!
And he deliberately created a coincidence to meet himself at Fourth Level of the Catacombs, in order to use his stealing skills to quietly return Earthblood Ore to himself, so that he could bring the ore specimen to "Samaritan Woman Spring" without noticing, triggering an abnormality!
You know, Lumian is not planning to bring Earthblood Ore into Underground recently. He feels that it is difficult to cope with the various anomalies in Underground Trier with his current strength. The purpose of Archipelago's cheater Monet's theft and return behavior is to allow him to passively start encounters that may be good or bad!
As for why the other party did this and what the purpose was, we may have to wait until the matter is over to find out.
As Lumian's thoughts were surging, he subconsciously reached out and grabbed the arm of "Hella". At the same time, he inspired Contract Mark and planned to use the ability of "Spirit World Traversal" to escape from here.
In the process, he also tried to get rid of Earthblood Ore in his palm, letting it attract the crazy figure with long Blood-Colored hair.
But Earthblood Ore seems to have been affected by the abnormal environment here, and there are obvious signs of weathering.
Silently, it shattered into powder and flew away, and the little blood stains it contained stained Lumian's palm and eroded into the skin.
On the other side, the Flames of White Candles in the hand of "Hella" is extremely dim and may be extinguished at any time, while the black diamond Ring in her right hand quietly flows out of pure darkness like Late Night.
Lumian grabbed her arm and found that the two of them were motionless.
This area seems to be isolated from Spirit World and cannot be separated!
There was no way to escape...Lumian retracted his palm decisively and opened his mouth towards the figure Flames who was looking at him with crazy eyes:
"Ha!"
A ray of light yellow light erupted from his mouth and fell on the huge dim figure like Mountain Peak.
The figure swayed slightly, but was not affected and let out an invisible roar again.
After receiving the new "order", I was shocked by the strange figures of Soothing in the quiet night. I once again stretched out my rotten or disgusting palms and grabbed Lumian's feet. Black Hair, which had fallen to the ground, was raised again.
Seeing that Lumian had no time to dodge, balls of blazing Flames suddenly appeared around him.
These red flowers of destruction dimmed quickly and extinguished quickly, as if all their life was exhausted in an instant.
Paleness's pus-filled palm was the first to grab Lumian's right foot, making him "quiet" and his thoughts quickly settled.
The form composed of highly rotten palms, iron-colored bones covered with light yellow feathers, and damaged Maggots also completed their tasks one after another, dragging the Lumian with eyes open like Slumber Past toward "Samaritan Woman Spring".
"Hella" is surrounded by layers of long black hair, which break through the tranquil Evernight, Entanglement and head towards Lady, which shows some signs of decay.
Lumian stared blankly at the face with hard lines and rotten bones, at the pair of iron-black Eyes with blood and rust showing through, feeling pure and extreme madness, but not even a single thought could come to his mind.
His body became stiffer and stiffer, and purple-red corpse spots appeared on his body.
He is only one step away from the spring water of Paleness.
At this moment, "Samaritan Woman Spring", which had been delayed by that huge figure for a long time, finally "broke down" the dam, pulling all the figures back into the dark hole that even the light could not shine into.
The huge figure burning with invisible flames roared unwillingly, but was still carried by the pale spring water and disappeared into the depths of the hole.
Lumian suddenly "woke up" and saw the figure of Women wearing a white robe starting to wander again. He quickly turned around and ran towards the top of the slope.
His idea is simple:
Since the abnormality originated from the piece of Earthblood Ore, and Earthblood Ore was now half integrated into his palm, he had to seize the time to escape instead of taking this opportunity to scoop up the remaining water in the spring.
As long as he can escape from here before the Paleness spring water gushes out again and the terrifying figure rises again, the "Hella" who stays here will be much safer and can get water relatively calmly, along with his share.
As for how to run, when "Teleportation" doesn't work, relying on legs is the only way now.
Lumian was running while still making preparations to escape before it was too late.
He relied on the ability of "Pyromaniac" to stabilize White Candles's Flames, and took out the "Torture" glove from his bag and put it on his palm.
At the same time, he tried to use Hermetic to recite Mr. "The Fool"'s Honorific Name:
"The Fool does not belong to this era..."
This is the inspiration brought to him by the Grayish-White Fog around "Samaritan Woman Spring"!
Wow!
Lumian Just halfway through the recitation, after running a certain distance, the sound of spring water gushing suddenly sounded.
This happened faster than he expected!
The low roar, which smelled of blood and rust and was full of madness, echoed in the area again.
"Hella" who didn't understand Lumian's thoughts and followed him away from the edge of the spring, was shaking again, as if Corpse had changed from an emotionless Corpse to a panicked and fearful living person.
From the corner of her eye, she saw the huge body of Burning with the invisible Flames, as well as the hair and tattered blood-stained armor of Blood-Colored.
Lumian was also affected by Intimidation, and even had the urge to surrender and give up resistance.
He tried his best to endure it, and could no longer recite Honorific Name, so he could only place his hope on the "Torture" gloves.
Just hold on, hold on, and those Concealment and Evil God will look at the material of the gloves and send out dangerous creatures to influence or attack.
In the past, Lumian would have prayed that the coming anomaly would be within the scope of what he could handle, but now, he hopes that the more dangerous it is, the better!
When the water becomes muddy, the fish have a chance to escape!
