Arcane splendor begins with the throne

Chapter 74

Brian closed his eyes and opened up everything about himself, body, mind, and magical intuition.

After a misty mist of unreality, he saw himself standing on top of the world, a noble and proud leader who ruled countless other little worlds.

Arcane energies flickered around him, and Brian subconsciously told himself they were more intoxicating than any wine he'd ever tasted.

He also saw that he ruled over shining cities and their inhabitants, who fell at his feet and shouted his adoration and allegiance with wild cheers.

Even the knowledge that Brian never dreamed of is waiting for him to explore every corner of the multiverse. Countless thick tomes written in foreign languages ​​have been translated for him, revealing unimaginable and unheard of magic to him.

Arcane, scepter, throne, wealth...

Everything was as brilliant as he imagined, filling his heart with joy.

He couldn't help but smile, then looked down at himself and screamed in horror.

Brian saw his body become thin and skinny, twisted and deformed, his withered muscles tightly attached to the exposed bones, turning brown and rough, like the bark of an ancient tree deformed by disease.

His body did emit light, but it wasn't the pure light full of arcane energy, but the negative energy that was piercingly cold.

Distortion, evil, filth, decay, decay... Countless words to describe the dead emerged in his mind.

Bryan looked away from his deformed body, looking down on his admirer with eyes long decayed, but crimson pupils still gleaming evilly in hollow sockets.

However, what came into view were countless fragmented corpses, as well as many skinny, twisted, and stiff humanoid creatures like him.

It was a cheer amidst a landscape of death and distortion.

The whole body of the zombie holding a pitchfork is covered with gray-green broken flesh, the rotting wight slowly crawls in the pile of bloody corpses, the incorporeal ghost screams in the air with a hateful voice, and the eyes are burning with vicious light. The skeleton knight drives forward...

The place trampled by countless undead creatures turned into a dead land. Not only the vegetation withered, but even the soil was dead. All the sources of life were completely destroyed and dried up.

Suddenly, the illusion mercifully disappeared, and Brian blinked tremblingly.

He was alone in the quiet little tree house, and the dim, eerie pale blue light shone soothingly.

Brian breathed a sigh of relief.

Obviously, this is just a dream, and nothing has happened yet.

He raised a hand to touch his face, and found that the dampness on his face was only sweat and tears, not the rotting flesh hanging on the dry and shrunken wrinkled skin in the vision, which made him feel relieved.

Then he lay down on the bed made of emerald green leaves again, and began to recall what had happened before.

In his mind, clusters of green flames washed over his body again, but they didn't burn. At that time, he only felt a force representing nature colliding in his body, which almost made him tremble.

The flames quickly took the shape of arms, embracing him warmly, and finally a soft and familiar body, then trembling and intertwined.

That moist, tight feeling...

Let him be like a battle-tested rider, driving the horse to gallop on the battlefield, and even commenting and guiding the horse that has just come to the battlefield with great interest, training his superb riding skills.

Just when he was immersed in this delightful joy, Brian suddenly realized something, so he quickly called up his system bar and checked it carefully.

Although there was no ceremony similar to the 'Dance of the Dryads' last night, but the original power from nature was transmitted to him unilaterally, but Brian still couldn't help but feel a little worried.

After all, this deal with the dryad girl Xinafee Melianne was a big gamble he chose in his most rational thinking.

If he was right, it would be as brilliant as the first time he saw it in the vision.

Similarly, if he loses the bet, he will be completely tied to the entire Asno Continent. If the threat of the ancient evil is not completely eliminated, he may still be silent in eternal immortality.

His bet is more like one thought of heaven and one thought of hell.

However, out of the desire for power, Brian did not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and resolutely chose this deal.

Because just based on his status as a traverser, as well as the arcane fire and his own system, he can't guarantee that he will be able to climb to the top unimpeded. He must firmly grasp every opportunity he encounters. in hand.

Moreover, his choice seemed crazy, but under the premise of being crazy, he also calmly judged the probability of success.

At this time, although he can judge the general condition of his body based on his physical condition, he can even speculate what special ability he has acquired.

But he still checked every attribute in the attribute bar one by one with a nervous heart.

Obviously, in Brian's view, some things are most effective after the data shows them.

He first looked at his source of survival, 'Arcane Fire'.

It was found that the level of the arcane fire had not changed, but the accumulated magical energy was exhausted in the ceremony last night.

Seeing this, Brian breathed a sigh of relief.

At the beginning, it took him more than 20 years to awaken the arcane fire and successfully upgrade it to level 1.

If he was silent because of this, then he would not even have time to cry.

Because during the activation period of Arcane Fire, there is no way to speed up the progress except to absorb the free magical energy in the air, otherwise, he would not have spent more than 20 years to activate it.

Only when it is fully activated can the speed of improvement be accelerated with the help of foreign objects.

Then, Brian looked at his battle mage level, except that the experience value was inexplicably cleared, and there was no decrease in any way.

Only then did he completely relax and scan the various specialties and special abilities he had trained curiously.

Soon, he discovered three newly acquired specialties.

[Natural Barrier: Immune to charm or panic caused by elemental or fine creatures, and immune to poisoning and disease. 】

[Blessing of Nature: After using it, you can choose to increase your physical fitness, agility, or perception by +4. This ability can be used once a day, and the effect lasts for 1 minute per main occupation level. 】

[Natural shelter: You can walk in thorny plants, dense bushes, or similar terrain at a normal speed without taking damage.At the same time, creatures in the natural world will perceive your connection with nature and will not actively attack you. 】

……

Looking at the three newly acquired special abilities, Brian couldn't help but sigh inwardly that the dryad girl Sinafee Melianne deserves to be the will of the world and the embodiment of nature in the continent of Asno.

Just these three abilities are enough to benefit him endlessly in his future adventure career.

Especially "Natural Barrier", the two immune effects are comparable to the professional abilities obtained by high-level druids.

Then, he continued to examine the other new abilities he had acquired with great anticipation.

His instinct told him that these three abilities were just appetizers.
