91: Veladiya's Mind Tricks
“Success!”
Isolde clapped her small hands and immediately commanded:
“Knight Brother, no need to move.”
“One thousand pieces each of space crystal and time crystal, put them all here. They can be used for delay and pause at critical moments.”
“Sister Lariana is in the east, responsible for replenishing Brother’s health and soul.”
“Sister Dorakaali stands here, responsible for providing Star Protection.”
“Sister Vera Diya is over there, always paying attention to Brother’s mental state. This is the most crucial, as Hell Black Flame has the greatest impact on the soul and mind, easily driving people insane and into the abyss of degradation.”
“Mother is in the main position and needs to provide a large amount of magic power.”
After Isolde finished speaking, she walked to the last position herself, confidently puffing out her chest: “I have a premonition that this time, it will definitely succeed!”
So complicated?
Lin Ye secretly clicked his tongue.
But Yi Yi certainly wouldn't intentionally make things difficult.
It could only mean that…
The difficulty of mastering Hell Black Flame was definitely not as simple as just picking up a weapon.
Think about it.
This was a power that eternal only released a full three months after the game’s launch, absolutely the top-tier ability in the current version.
Moreover.
This power was only made available to players in advance because Lin Ye had used an extraordinary method to interrupt the background story.
Otherwise.
eternal truly didn't know how many months it would take to release such a heaven-defying ability.
For NPCs, it meant permanent annihilation.
For players, one kill meant account deletion.
Resurrection, one of the most fundamental rules of the eternal world, would be completely changed by the emergence of this ability.
Furthermore.
Among the many abilities that could alter resurrection conditions, Hell Black Flame was the most effective, most convenient, and also the most terrifying.
It could be said that the appearance of Hell Black Flame was the core that truly initiated the first epic chapter of eternal.
Shadow Enveloping!
If it weren't for the terrifying penalty of account deletion upon death, how could it be called a world-class main storyline?
At the same time.
The Moon Queen's body radiated a dazzling moonlight.
Following that, the entire Moon Palace also reflected rays of light at this moment.
The Moon Queen's slender jade finger gently touched the Hellfire Sword, and the surrounding moonlight instantly coiled around it inch by inch, completely enveloping it.
“Enchantment?”
Lin Ye pondered.
“Yes,” the Moon Queen returned the Hellfire Sword.
Lin Ye looked again.
[Enchantment Effect: Moon Queen's Blessing (This equipment's requirements are reduced by 50%, durability consumption is reduced by 50%, magic consumption is reduced by 50%, and skill cooldown is reduced by 50%)]
Amazing!
Lin Ye’s eyes lit up: “Can I get more of this kind of enchantment?”
What?
The Moon Queen was slightly startled, then let out a soft, resentful hum: “One blessing costs 10 years of life. If you still want it, this Queen will give it to you…”
“10 years, that’s not impossible,” Lin Ye pondered.
Ah?
The Moon Queen’s delicate body trembled, and for a moment she was even at a loss, her eyes flickering slightly, feeling as if her whole being was about to collapse.
But the next second.
Lin Ye directly said: “Later, I’ll help you get eternal life and see if we can exploit a bug.”
What?
eternal life?
The Moon Queen was completely shocked.
“You… you’re not joking, are you?”
“eternal life is simple,” Lin Ye waved his hand indifferently, “After we’re done with this, I’ll take you all.”
Thump!
The Moon Queen’s delicate body trembled again, her gaze towards Lin Ye turning to disbelief, and a sweet smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of her mouth.
“Hmph, this Queen can reincarnate, so I don’t care about eternal life or not~”
[Ding~]
[Moonshadow Queen, Shadow Moon Yao, your favorability towards her has increased by 3000 points!]
Huh?
Lin Ye thought she truly didn't care, but it turns out she was just being tsundere?
“Begin!”
Lin Ye threw the Wangyu Bow and quiver into the sub-equipment slot, then picked up the Hellfire Sword.
[Ding~]
[You gain Hellfire damage equivalent to 700% of your physical damage.]
[You need to accept the trial of Hell Black Flame, nurturing Hellfire with your soul to keep it from extinguishing!]
Indeed.
Lin Ye took a deep breath.
Boom!
Black flames ignited on the Hellfire Sword.
Bone-chilling!
Yet it made one feel the most excruciating burning!
Even the soul would be placed within Hellfire to be fiercely roasted!
Stinging pain!
It came from every inch of his skin, and from the depths of his soul.
Sweat.
The cold sweat that had just emerged from Lin Ye’s entire body was instantly incinerated and vaporized by the Hellfire.
In the blink of an eye, his skin was about to turn to charcoal.
At the same time.
The magic array activated.
Space isolation.
So that the Hellfire rising around Lin Ye would not harm the queens and princesses.
Lariana made her move. With a flick of her finger, her staff flew from Star Moon Lake, followed by a stream of pure, azure spring water of life.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~
The spring water of life poured onto Lin Ye’s head, hissing and steaming.
“Ah, so refreshing~!”
Lin Ye, however, let out a loud cry.
It came at the perfect time; the burning pain of Hellfire was greatly alleviated by the pouring of the spring water of life, and even his stinging soul was somewhat soothed.
“Almost, is it about to end?” Lin Ye felt he could almost bear it, gritting his teeth.
The Moon Queen shook her head slightly.
“I apologize, this should only be the beginning, because Hellfire must completely burn from the inside out, from the flesh to the soul, and only after it still fails to kill the host, will it then possibly temporarily acknowledge you.”
All of it?
From inside out?
My skin hasn’t even finished burning, meaning it’s really just the beginning, right?
Lin Ye secretly gritted his teeth.
In his mind, an unfamiliar voice echoed.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
Lin Ye froze: “No… who are you?!”
The next second.
In Lin Ye’s mind, a mysterious black figure appeared.
Vera Diya!
Lin Ye recognized her: “How are you here?”
“I need to ensure your soul isn’t tormented to madness and your mind isn’t corrupted.” Vera Diya stood there, but there was a dreamy, somewhat unreal feeling to her.
Dream Weaving?
Her talent ability seemed even more mysterious than prophecy, right?
Being able to enter someone else’s head anytime, anywhere, how could that not be a little… well, strange?
“No, dream abilities aren’t that easy to use,” Vera Diya explained, “It’s because you and we are very familiar, and there’s a magic array assisting, that I can directly enter without worrying about danger.”
“Under normal combat conditions, one must use illusions to confuse the enemy before proceeding.”
“Dreams are always dangerous.”
“Because the human mind is always dangerous, and its corrupting power is the strongest. Animals are simpler.”
“However… your mind is very simple, without those complex sources of corruption.”
Uh?
Lin Ye was momentarily stunned: “Are you complimenting me?”
Vera Diya: “Yes.”
Lin Ye: “Then you should compliment me less in the future.”
Vera Diya: “Okay.”
Hiss~
As the Hellfire burned further, penetrating his skin, Lin Ye could no longer speak in his mind.
At this moment.
Vera Diya slowly approached, shedding her black magic robe. Beneath her almost perfect curves, there was actually a suffocating outfit…
“Where did you get those black stockings and suspenders?”
Lin Ye’s mind instantly cleared up.
Vera Diya: “I just took a stroll through your mental world and guessed you’d like these.”
Lin Ye rolled his eyes and gritted his teeth: “Don’t snoop on other people’s privacy for no reason, and what are you doing?!”
“Privacy? They’re just projections from the outermost layer of your mental world. If you don’t like them, I can forget them anytime.”
Vera Diya explained, her expression unchanged.
“As for these?”
“Black stockings?”
“Hmm… consider it a little trick for your mind, to help distract you from some of the Hellfire’s burning attention.”
“How is it, does it work?”
