Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 2825 Mental illness

When the sandworm came to the weaving net with a bow and a stretch, it was entangled by the weaving net and could not move.

Everyone waited for a while, wanting to see what happened to the sandworm and whether the baby spirit would come.

Time passed by, and after a few minutes, everyone looked at each other, with doubts in everyone's eyes.

The baby spirit didn't come, and the sandworm didn't see any other changes except being trapped and unable to move. It was still alive, and it didn't show any signs of malaise.

So, the effect of this weaving web is like a spider web, which exists purely for catching prey?But in the energy world, what is the bright red light glowing from the weaving net?It can't just be a decoration to exaggerate the atmosphere, right?
Everyone turned their attention to Doakes, wanting to get an explanation from Doakes.

Doakes had a strange expression, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking or sensing something.After a while, Doakes said: "The effect of weaving the net...may be to absorb energy."

As for the reason for Doakes' judgment——

"What little energy I had left in the little bug was sucked away."

Angor: "If the effect of weaving the web is to absorb energy, why is it still alive?"

Life energy is also a kind of energy.Whether in the southern region or other wizards around, it has been found that many monsters feed on life energy.

For example, Gomito, the heart eater in folklore, feeds on energy.It's just that its absorption and conversion efficiency is not very high, so it is swallowed with the belt and meat.

In the same type, monsters that are more powerful than Gomitor, such as the Goat Demon in the abyss and the Chupacabra in the void, if they hunt blood, they don't need to swallow it at all. Life energy can be absorbed completely.

And the prey that has been absorbed by the life energy will turn into a withered appearance that is about to rot, because all the internal organs lack energy supply, and die in pain.

Life energy is the most essential energy of living beings, even ordinary people possess this energy, it's just a matter of how much.

But now, the sandworm is alive and well, and even its chubby body has not changed at all. It is absolutely impossible to say that its life energy has been sucked away.

Even if it's a meaty body like Greya's original body, if life energy is sucked out, it will become skinny.So, this sandworm has been sucked out of life energy, how could it be so rich?
Doakes also hesitated, and it took him a long time before he said, "Maybe weaving webs won't absorb life energy?"

After Doakes finished speaking, he was a little bit in disbelief.

Because what he left in the sandworm's body was magic power and spiritual power, and the same was sucked away by the sandworm. If the web was only used to absorb magic power, then the surrounding space was filled with primitive magic power. Why didn't the web weave absorb at all?
In other words, the weaving web only absorbs refined and pure magic power?
What about mental power?

Although the sandworm cub is extremely weak, it also has a certain amount of spiritual power, but the weaving web did not absorb its spiritual power.This can be seen with the naked eye, because the sandworm's mental power disappears, it will immediately become sluggish, and at the same time fall into a coma, which is no different from death.

But now, the sandworm can struggle, and its vitality has not faded, but it can't move. It doesn't look like its mental power has been absorbed.

Earl Black: "Then tentatively, one of the effects of weaving the web is to absorb non-body energy."

Doakes thought about it, and felt that this was barely right.However, he still didn't feel in his heart that weaving the net was just to exclude different kinds of energy.

If it was true what Earl Hei said, then this web weaving was not a trap at all, but a special gain.It can remove the foreign energy in the body.

And this, for many wizards, is a very good effect.For example, if a wizard is cursed, or is corrupted by a different kind of energy and cannot be removed, can't it be perfectly solved by weaving a web?

This completely beautifies the web.

Does the Weavable Web really have no other negative effects other than confinement?Doakes didn't believe it, and neither did anyone else present.However, the current conclusion is indeed the case, and they can only put their doubts aside for the time being.

"You probably have other sandworms, why don't you try the red wax on the ground this time?" Earl Black looked at Doakes.

Although the red wax can be bypassed by climbing the wall, Earl Hei has a hunch that the appearance of the red wax cannot be so simple. If it is really possible to bypass and only face the weaving net, then what is the use of the infant spirit to create these red wax? meaning?

Therefore, even if the red wax can be bypassed, Earl Black hopes to detect the general effect of the red wax.

Doakes: "The effect of the red wax, I have some guesses."

Earl Black: "Oh?"

Doakes briefly explained his ups and downs of control over the sandworm before, in detail: "Even though the little bedbug didn't touch the red wax, once it entered the range where the red wax was, it would There have been fluctuations in the control power. I think this should be affected by the red wax."

Angel: "You mean, the red wax can affect your ability to control sandworms? In other words, affect your mental power?"

Doakes nodded, then shook his head again: "It can indeed affect my ability to control the little bugs, but I control the little bugs not only by mental power, but also by the power of blood."

"The blood of the little bedbug is closely related to me. It can even be said that it has been supported by my blood in order to survive."

"Because of this, through the power of my blood, I can control all the actions of the little bug, and even replace it when the little bug loses itself."

"I personally think that the effect of the red wax is not to deprive or weaken my control over the sandworm, but to affect the sandworm's own mental power. But this effect is not to make the mental power disappear, but to become disorder or disorder."

"It's just like……"

Angor said in a timely manner: "Psychopathy."

Doakes nodded: "That's right, it's like a mentally ill lunatic, extremely unstable mentally. But it doesn't have the mental power to destroy it."

Earl Black: "But this is just your guess."

"It's a guess, but..." Doakes originally wanted to say that his own inspiration was the same, but after thinking about it, it is a bit unreasonable to use inspiration as evidence. Even if his inspiration rarely makes mistakes, it cannot be evidence after all. .

"Forget it, I'll try again, this time I'm directly touching the red wax on the ground."

Doakes didn't spit out the sandworms from his mouth this time, but stepped on the ground lightly, and a small bump appeared on the ground.

The small bag on the ground broke open, and a white and tender sandworm cub crawled out.

Seeing the sandworm, Wai on the side said bitterly: "I didn't wrong you. If you said you did it on purpose, you did it on purpose."

Doakes pretended not to hear.

Unwilling to be lonely, Wai yelled at the sandworm: "Let's go, little bug!"

Hearing Wai's yell, Doakes turned around and said, "I didn't intend to let it smell like a stinky sewer, so it's not called a little bug, its name is..."

Doakes thought for a while: "Cullinand Zilolo Bardev, how is it?"

Originally, Angor wanted to hear what creative names Doakes could come up with, but when he heard this long list of names, his head was full of question marks, and he seemed to be a bit unable to keep up with Doakes' thinking.What kind of jumping thinking is this to evolve from a small bug to such a large list of names, including the middle name, this is serious naming!
Compared to Angor's surprise, Vay was completely indifferent. He had long since gotten used to Doakes' nonsensical behavior.If he took some kind of little incense worm, little gold worm, or little white worm, Wai would be shocked instead.

"This name is not suitable." Wai vetoed it with one vote. As for why it was not suitable, he didn't bother to find a reason.Not suitable is not suitable, what reason is needed.

"It's more appropriate to call it a small bedbug. The reason is that it comes out as soon as you stomp your foot, so if you think about it, you know which part of your body it came out of. There is nothing inappropriate to call it a small bedbug."

Doakes: "Did you know that you will be punished for slandering an official wizard?"

Vye: "Did I insult you? If you swallow this little bug back from your mouth, I apologize to you."

Doakes said unhappily: "So you slander me, you just need to apologize?"

Seeing that the two seemed addicted to bickering, Angel sighed in his heart, and said, "Okay, let's stop here first. There are more important things in front of you. Don't ignore the current situation because of trivial matters."

Angel: "Or, do you think the baby spirit is really easy to bully?"

Angor had already spoken, and Wai naturally didn't dare to continue bickering.Doakes was not afraid of Angor, but he also felt that he was a little too loose.

Putting away his slack expression, Doakes said solemnly: "Baldev, let's go!"

Angel: "..." In the end, the name still couldn't be avoided.

The fat, white larva squirmed forward with all its strength. This time, the sandworm no longer climbed the wall, but directly touched the red wax, so it didn't take long to reach the location of the red wax.

Without any hesitation, the sandworm climbed directly onto the red wax.

But not long after the sandworm climbed onto the red wax, something happened suddenly.

Originally, the red wax was a solidified solid, but after the sandworm touched it, the red wax suddenly showed signs of melting, but this melting was limited to the body of the sandworm.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the little sandworm was pulled into the "body" by the red wax, completely trapped.

The red wax is not particularly transparent, only the black outline of the small sandworm can be seen faintly.

At the same time, Doakes frowned and said: "Bardev has completely lost control. I can't feel its existence at all, as if it has been erased from my blood connection."

The little bedbug before was not completely lost because it still had life energy, but now, Doakes couldn't feel the existence of Bardev at all.

Moreover, Bardev fell into the red wax so fast that Doakes didn't even have time to perceive what Bardev had experienced.

After listening to Doakes' words, everyone frowned.

They had guessed before that the red wax might also have some special effect, and now it seems that this is really the case.But from the perspective of appearance and energy, the red wax is a very ordinary red wax.

What went wrong, they have so far not known, let alone fixed.

"I don't think the baby spirit has come here so far. How about I try again with sandworms. This time, I use apprentice-level sandworms?" Doakes suggested again.

Earl Hei shook his head.

At first, Earl Black agreed to the test, mainly because he wanted to test the weaving net and the red wax.

Now, it has been confirmed that the netting and red wax really have special effects, so it doesn't make much sense for Doakes to continue to test.

Although we don't know whether the weaving net and the red wax are the obstacles created by the infant spirit or Aidanis, what is certain is that the apprentice-level sandworms alone will definitely not be able to detect more information.

If you want to get more useful information, maybe you have to try it yourself.

And this may be the purpose of the infant spirit.

If Ying Ling really wanted them to try it themselves, it was certain that the webbing and red wax would definitely influence them.

This is tantamount to an obvious trap.

"Then what should we do now?" Doakes thought about it for a while, but he also understood that only apprentice-level sandworms are definitely useless: "How about I do it myself?"

Vay: "Are you going to give it away for nothing?"

Doakes: "Why don't you let it try?"

Doakes stretched out his finger, pointing at Vai... the alchemy puppet beside him.

In the alchemy puppet, Speed ​​Spirit is controlling it, and Angor sent it to protect Kael, and by the way, also protect Vai.

Wai said decisively: "No, speed spirit is an elemental creature of adults, how can it be used as a consumable casually."

Doakes muttered: "You really feel sorry for Angel's elemental creatures...I say I'll go, but you say I gave it away for nothing."

Wai snorted coldly and turned his head: "I told you to give it away for nothing, but I told you not to go."

Doakes: "I didn't say let the speed spirit go, I mean try it with the alchemy puppet."

After Dokes finished speaking, he ignored Wai and looked at Angor: "How is it?"

Angel shook his head. It's not impossible to do what Doakes said. He doesn't feel sorry for the alchemy puppet, but he has other ideas in his mind.

However, Angel hadn't finished speaking yet.

I heard Kael yelling: "Behind!"

Before Angel could react, he heard two bangs, as if something had hit the ground.

Looking back, I found that there were two square-shaped stone prisons on the ground at some point.

He is no stranger to the magic power of making stone prisons, and it must have been done by the Black Earl.But the things in the stone prison surprised him a little.

Inside the two small stone prisons are exactly the two sandworms just now.

The appearance of the little sandworms has not changed, but if you look at them from the perspective of energy, you will find that they are all stained with bright red light.

And this bright red and unfortunate light seems to be eroding the two little sandworms.

Doakes: "My little bug, and Bardev! What's going on?!"

Black Earl: "They were put back, can you feel them now?"

Doakes tried to perceive the little sandworms in the stone prison, but just as he sensed them with the power of the blood, he felt a torrent of negative emotions poured directly into his mind along the power of the blood.

Doakes cut off the power of the bloodline without hesitation.

Although it was successfully cut off, it still caused him to be impacted by a lot of negative emotions. At the same time, the backlash of the power of blood also surged from his body.

Doakes vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, and sat on the ground listlessly.

The backlash from the power of blood was actually not that serious, but those negative emotions made Doakes, who had always had a positive attitude, a little bit unable to hold on.

Depressed, lost, self-pitying... a low aura surrounds Doakes.

Just when Doakes felt as if he had fallen into an emotional abyss, there was a sudden sigh in his ear, and then, a familiar illusion force entered his brow.

Doakes could fight back, but he gave up.The low mood made him feel that everything didn't matter.

It was precisely because Doakes did not resist that the power of illusion entered Doakes' body smoothly.

Immediately afterwards, the villain in Doakes' heart who was squatting in the shadow of the corner felt a warmth behind his back, and when he looked back, he saw the golden sunlight.

The warm sun shone on him, dispelling all the haze.

All the good memories of the past, one by one, appeared in front of his eyes...

In just a few seconds, the low air pressure surrounding Doakes disappeared.

Doakes stood up again, with complex emotions on his face, and it took a long while before he recovered from his emotions.Then, he nodded slightly to Angel: "Thank you."

He knew very well that the golden sunshine and good memories before were brought about by Angel's illusion.

It awakens Doakes's dusty beauty, and at the same time dispels a large cloud of dark emotions.

Even though Doakes can find a way to adjust it himself, but I don't know how long it will take to dispel all the haze.Angel's illusion was like a shot in the arm, pulling him out of his depressed mood in an instant.

Angel: "You're welcome, it's easy."

It's easy for Angel, but other people may not be able to solve this kind of problem with a raised hand.Including, the same is true of the Black Earl.

However, at this time, no one felt sorry for Angel's powerful emotional control. They were more concerned about what Doakes had experienced.

Facing everyone's questions, Doakes was silent for a while before whispering:
"They're... crazy."
