Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Monster Alliance
Orion fell into deep thought, seriously considering the connection between the Words and the runes.
Runes had the power to make entries manifest and even bring about a comprehensive upgrade to the Sugar [Doll] entry. This left him bewildered.
Could it be that the entry existed above the primal rune?
Different myths have different texts passed down like the Runic alphabet in Norse mythology, the Greek alphabet in Greek mythology, hieroglyphics in the Egypt, and the Sanskrit that was once prevalent in prehistoric times. If he couldn't read Sanskrit, mastering the mystic arts of magic would almost be a luxury.
In essence, were words the carriers of rules and magic?
"The ancient god statue I found came from a deity of calligraphy, painting, words, art, and stories…"
"What's the connection between these elements?"
"My entry system… does it come from the ancient gods, or a higher dimension?"
Orion's imagination ran wild, prompting a fierce brainstorming session. Yet, the information and data he had were too sparse to connect all the details.
He had to set aside speculation for now. But…
The upgrade of the Sugar entry gave him a glimmer of hope. He might not be far from clearing the Mysterious Dimension.
"Big brother."
"I feel like I've become a powerful …"
"I've become so awesome!"
Sugar's face was lit with smiles. Though she couldn't fully comprehend the changes happening to her, she clearly felt that everything was different now.
"That's right."
"You are now powerful and strong."
"Let's go."
"Continue exploring with big brother."
Orion smiled, then clenched his right hand tightly as if to open the mirror dimension.
[Mirror Dimension]
Isolating two different planes.
In the mirror dimension, Orion could not only unleash his full power but also closely observe and monitor the movements of the troll.
In an instant, matter like prism fragments appeared out of thin air, enveloping the sky.
A look of surprise flashed across Sugar's beautiful eyes. She had never seen such a method before!
All creatures in this mysterious dimension relied on instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm, with almost no culture or wisdom.
The only exception was Sugar, Hehas seen or known till now!
She was not a monster but more like a spiritual being!
Every plant and tree in the mirror dimension was completely opposite to the real world.
Orion's magic was rapidly depleting. The two paced in the mirror dimension, searching for the troll's whereabouts. Relying on Sugar's perception, they constantly corrected their direction.
Soon, fear flashed in Sugar's eyes. She pointed at the ruins of a building in front of her, trembling so much she couldn't speak.
"Big brother."
"The powerful Troll is just ahead!"
"Many, many powerful monsters!"
Sugar shivered. Though still unfamiliar with her new identity, even as a powerful high-level being, she was far from the extreme level.
"A lot of.....g?"
Orion felt a twinge of depression. He walked forward, bypassed layers of obstacles, and cautiously peeked through the gaps in the ruins.
All that remained were the ruins of a building, its frame exposed and the reinforced concrete structure marred with signs of damage and destruction.
In this vast space, no fewer than ten high-level monsters were gathered!
At the center was the troll!
Its massive body was half lying and half sitting, propped against the building. Its empty, dark eye sockets glowed with ghostly lights that flickered with a haunting brilliance.
It seemed to possess wisdom for a long time. One could even hear it speaking in a hoarse, inarticulate voice, like fingernails scratching a blackboard.
"You all… should have seen that man to some extent…"
"He has been slaughtering… our kind…"
"Now… it's time to unite…"
"Revenge!"
The troll's eyes burned with fire, and it spoke with each word resonating, clear and simple.
This caused the other high-level monsters to look at him with complex expressions, and they fell silent.
The troll selected high-level creatures with a certain degree of intelligence. The unintelligent high-level creatures had become his food and the nutrients for his evolution!
"That man…"
"It seems he has been around for a long time…"
"He almost slaughtered all my people!"
"This damn guy!"
A hideous face suddenly emerged on the trunk of a sturdy, twisted locust tree, cursing viciously. He had only been away from the tribe for a while, only to find all his people killed or injured, with no remains left!
This sight enraged him!
He wished he could eat the intruder alive!
[Tree Spirit]
[Level]: Advanced
[Entry]: Natural Immunity (Blue), Flawless Camouflage (Blue), Innate Spiritual Roots (Blue).
[Natural Immunity] (Blue): The tree spirit is immune to damage from nature magic, and its resistance to nature magic is increased by 100%.
[Flawless Camouflage] (Blue): Before launching an attack, he will be mistaken for an ordinary tree, even deceiving those with keen perception.
[Innate Spiritual Roots] (Blue): One of the few tree spirits. The longer he survives, the stronger his attributes and abilities become.
"Tree spirit?"
"The King of Sophora japonica (Locust trees) ?"
"Tsk!"
Orion was stunned. Did the locust tree have a king? Why hadn't he noticed?
And because of his actions, the tree spirit sided with the troll!
"The longer you survive, the stronger your attributes and abilities will be…"
"This entry… has something interesting!"
Orion nodded in understanding. If it weren't for the troll's call, he would never have known that there were no fewer than ten high-level creatures in the Mysterious Dimension.
Where did these high-level monsters usually hide?
Had the troll not been there, he could have launched a surprise attack and wiped them out!
"How can you guarantee that after killing that man… you won't turn against us and kill us…?"
In the corner, an old man's hoarse mumbling suddenly emerged.
A being in a black robe, formless and shadowy, stood up. This discovery made Orion's eyes flash with confusion.
If it weren't for the black robe, it would be difficult to detect his presence!
[Ghost]
[Level]:Advanced
[Terms]: Invisible and Formless (Blue), Omnipresent (Blue), Shrewd and Calculating (Green).
[Invisible and Formless] (Blue): The ghost has no physical form but excels at changing into any shape. Ordinary people cannot see through it.
[Omnipresent] (Blue): The ghost can enter and exit all places and can also enter the body of the target to temporarily restrict their actions.
[Shrewd and Calculating] (Green): After his death, he retained his memories and wisdom. He is suspicious and cunning, and may know something.
"Ghost…"
"Maybe he knows something?"
"This entry…"
"Are you hinting that he might know the origin of this mysterious dimension?"
Orion's eyes lit up. This was a pleasant surprise!
He had long wondered about the true origin of this mysterious dimension. It must be more than just an oil painting! It all felt so real!
But… although the problem was tricky, Orion had no need to worry.
If he couldn't defeat all the powerful monsters at once, he could defeat them one by one.
He focused on the black robe of the ghost. It seemed the robe was filled with magical energy and belonged to a mysterious item!
It was a pity that items could not generate entries.
But he still couldn't help feeling excited!
