Mistbound Chronicles: Lumian's Legacy Novel Chapter 77

Lumian had briefly told Ryan and others about the black thorn symbol protruding from Guillaume Benet's chest, the hidden existence's name with "fate" in it, and the corresponding field materials including gray amber, tulip, lilac and musk. I just put all the sources on the parish priest and it has nothing to do with him.

Now, as soon as they heard his reminder, Liya, Ryan, and Valentine immediately became alert and made corresponding guesses.

"A place of sacrifice?" Ryan whispered to himself.

As he spoke, everyone turned their attention to the basement.

With the little light flowing from the stairs, they could barely see the general appearance of the interior: the space under the church was larger than the entire Lumian house.

The first floor is larger. The ground is paved with gray-white stone slabs. The surrounding area looks extremely dark because the light cannot reach it. In the middle, there stands a stone platform that is half a person tall.

The top of the stone platform is slightly sunken into the depths, and it seems to be hiding something, but it is hard to see clearly.

Lumian thought and whispered: "This may be the place where the priest and the others pray for 'grace' from evil beings."

"They actually built the Altar of the Evil God under the church!" Valentine was so angry that Lumian suspected that he would burn up in the next second, turn into holy light, and purify everything here.

"Calm down." Ryan patted Valentine on the shoulder, "Get ready to light the fire."

He then signaled Liya to do some reconnaissance.

Liya kept a sweet smile, sniffed her nose and said:

"That hidden being with 'fate' in his name likes fragrance very much..."

She sighed and walked into the basement. Her mouth moved as if she was reciting something silently.

The four little silver bells jingled again, sometimes intensely, sometimes soothingly.

One step, two steps, three steps... Liya turned around and said to Ryan and others: "There is nothing unusual in the door area.

Ryan, Lumian and Valentine then entered the basement through the old brown wooden door and came to the place where Liya stopped.

Leah moved on.

After taking a few steps, the silver bells hanging on her veil and boots started shaking violently.

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

The sound spread rapidly in all directions.

Dots of morning light immediately appeared around Ryan, and they condensed together to create a set of silver-white full-body armor on Ryan's body.

At the same time, Ryan had a pure giant sword of light in his hand.

And Valentine half-opened his arms, letting the golden illusory flames burn beside him.

One of the flames suddenly lengthened and widened, and Liya's figure walked out of it.

She returned from her position near the altar to where Lumian and others were.

So amazing... Lumian once again marveled at Liya's performance. Compared with the understandable and imaginable "Sun" pathway ability and Ryan's fighting status, Liya's various performances are more weird and magical. For example, yesterday's The ability to transfer his wound from the thigh to the edge of the calf is simply incredible.

Faced with the sudden "alarm", Lumian made his only response:

Pulling out the iron-black axe, he shrank behind Ryan, who had grown much larger.

During this process, he took advantage of the situation and looked around, but found no strange changes.

You must know that he has "spiritual vision".

Of course, Lumian also made some discoveries - with the help of the light brought by the golden flame, he saw piles of human bones on the edge of the underground, some of which were covered with light-colored sheepskins.

Is this a previous sacrifice? The parish priest and the others have been conducting cult rituals here for at least half a year, but Aurore and I were completely unaware... Lumian's thoughts suddenly turned, and he once again felt that the village of Kordu, where he had lived for nearly five years, was so strange. I don't know when this place became abnormal. Perhaps, it was not normal from the beginning.

"Is everything okay?" Ryan asked Liya while looking warily in the direction of the altar.

Liya shook her head

"I don't think there's anything wrong, it's just a sign of danger."

"It's strange..." Lumian's voice stopped abruptly as he glanced at Liya.

He saw that the face of this beautiful girl had become translucent, and there seemed to be twisted worms crawling around, crawling in and out. Her whole person was more terrifying, strange, and disturbing than the evil spirit in the legend. The scalp is numb and the heart is beating fast.

This was simply beyond Lumian's imagination, and he suspected that he would have nightmares about it for a long time.

"You, your face!" He reminded Liya, unable to contain his panic.

Liya subconsciously touched her face with her right hand, and her eyes suddenly changed.

As for whether her expression had changed, Lumian couldn't tell from the transparent and twisted worms.

Liya quickly looked at the back of her hand. The skin there had also become translucent, and the flesh underneath seemed to have turned into weird worms.

"You are almost out of control!" Valentine also noticed Liya's state.

Liya wondered to herself: "But my mental state is not bad.

"First make sure this is your hallucination." Ryan reminded, tilting his head.

Almost at the same time, Lumian noticed that the tall warrior was shrinking rapidly, and the silver-white full-body armor on his body and the giant sword of light in his hand also disintegrated. The latest and fastest update is first released.

In the blink of an eye, Ryan turned into a short man who was only about 1.5 meters tall. His brown top and light yellow trousers were either too big or too long.

He also has a mutation? Only Valentine and I were fine... Lumian's pupils dilated sharply and he subconsciously looked at Valentine.

"Ryan, you have become smaller!" Valentine, who was already a pure light person, reminded his companions urgently.

Lumian, who was almost blinded, asked Liya, "Have I changed?"

Liya said with countless transparent worms that seemed to be crawling out but inseparable from flesh and blood: "You are normal. But in this case, normality may be the biggest abnormality."

Am I normal? Could it be that the black thorn symbol protected me and made the 'danger' here think that I was one of their own? Lumian suddenly had a guess.

At this time, Ryan had finished checking his body and said on guard:

"I'm not getting smaller, but I'm back to the way I was before, even losing my extraordinary abilities."

"What it was like before?" Lumian blurted out.

He vaguely thought of something in his mind.

Ryan nodded: "Well, I was born short. As a man, this is a great misfortune, so when I chose the 'potion', I chose 'Warrior', which can effectively change my height."

"I don't know if it's luck or not, but in the past five or six years, there have been a lot of extraordinary monsters and abnormal phenomena related to the 'Warrior' path, which makes me less worried about the materials needed for promotion."

After listening to Ryan's words, Lumian roughly understood the source of the mutation: "You have returned to the 'past'!"

"As far as I know, the authority of the hidden existence involves the past. When he said this, he imitated the mysterious lady, deliberately paused for a few seconds, and added some other words:

"It also involves the present, and, and, and, and the future.

Although he is currently speaking Intis, one should still be cautious.

Liya reacted very quickly and blurted out, "Valentine and I have entered the future. Is this our future state?"

"And I am now?" Lumian confirmed Liya's guess with a rhetorical question.

He then thought of the three-faced monster he encountered in the ruins of the dreamland.

The monster has only one head, but it has three faces, one is old, one is mature, and one is young.

Lumian suspected that this was also a gift from the owner of the black thorn symbol, and that it was of a higher level, but the recipient could not bear it, or encountered some accident and turned into a three-faced monster.

Liya nodded slightly and said: "Probably, but this change in state did not change my spirit. I didn't feel close to losing control at all."

"I don't feel like I'm burning either." Valentine followed.

Ryan thought for a moment and said, "Similarly, I haven't lost my memory either.

"Perhaps there is just a little bit of power left here that cannot affect the spirit, mind and memory, but if it remains in this state for a long time, I am not sure if there will be any serious sequelae.

"I'm okay. The worst I can do is take the magic potion again and be promoted again. According to you, there should be many possibilities in the future, but now, the future may be doomed. One loses control and the other turns into holy light. This is, well, I understand 'Destiny'."

"It's really scary." Liya sighed with a smile. "Fortunately, we can restart the cycle, and we can still try to find the 'now' here."

Lumian saw that there were no scary monsters around and said, "How about we go out first and see if we can recover naturally?"

"Besides, you might even encounter the power that represents the present along the way."

Ryan had no objection: "You can try it."

Now he is an ordinary person, and it will be very dangerous if he goes forward.

"I'm afraid that another change in status will directly lead to loss of control." Liya said cautiously.

It's definitely good to meet the "now", but it's troublesome to meet the "past". I don't know what will happen if I superimpose the "future" again.

Lumian took the initiative and said, "Let me explore the path. I have one more chance to change my state."

He mainly wanted to test whether he was lucky enough to meet "Now", or whether the black thorn symbol on his chest protected him.

"Be careful." Ryan warned without stopping, and Liya nodded.

Valentine's eyes when he looked at Lumian became less cold.

He couldn't help but think: This young man has a spirit of sacrifice, and he is also a devout believer in our Lord. When the cycle is lifted, we will see if there is any way to remove the hidden pollution in his body and let him join our team.

Seeing that Lumian was about to take a step, Valentine, who regained his composure, suggested: "Shall I try to get rid of this state first?"

No one objects, and the same goes for Lumian, because he is located in the "now" and does not need to expel the "negative state" or undergo purification.

The next second, he realized that he had miscalculated.

Valentine did not directly create holy water to purify Liya and Leer, but first used the "solar halo".

A dark golden light flashed, and invisible power spread to the surroundings.
