Chapter 35: The Praise of the Earth
For a moment, Lina, a priest with silver hair and black eyes, thought she was almost omnipotent. At the moment when she reached a perfect fit with the ritual of the Holy Artifact Land, this feeling could not be suppressed from the bottom of her heart.
Everyone who has seen Lina knows that this silver-haired girl who serves the gods will always carry a silver magic book around her, as if the magic book is half of her body. The magic book is not thick, the spine is only about one centimeter thick, the cover of the book is a metal shell forged with mitral silver, and four magic arrays are engraved on the silver mitral cover, making the whole book look full of mystery. Open the mitral cover, and there are pages made of unknown textures of paper-like things. These pages look like paper, but no matter whether they are torn or cut, whether they are burned or immersed, they cannot have any impact on them. There are thirty-two pages, one by one, one by one. Thirty-two are four
The product of eight represents the four directions of the earth, southeast, west, northwest, and northeast. In the prayer of the earth, the square in front of the chest represents the same meaning. The number eight represents the eight stages of life nurtured by the earth, namely, birth, growth, maturity, result or production, aging, death, withering or rotting. These two most important numbers for the church of the goddess Deniya of the earth, multiplied to the total number of pages, which is enough to prove the position of this book in the church and even in the heart of the goddess. Each of the thirty-two pages of the book either write a text or draw a picture. Whether it is a text or a picture, it expresses praise and worship of the earth.
As early as the early Third Age, some intelligent creatures gathered together to thank the earth for their selfless dedication and to thank the loving god Deniya, who was the incarnation of the earth, and devoted all their efforts to create this precious book of the earth to the goddess. Each page of the book was filled with children's love and attachment to the earth mother. The goddess was moved and accepted the local praise, but not long after, it was given back to the church. The clergy of the church was initially frightened. They thought the goddess did not like their gifts, but after receiving the rewarded earth praise, the horror completely seemed to disappear. Because they found that although the materials were originally precious, they were just an ordinary book, but after passing through the goddess's hand, it was a holy weapon. From the cover to the content
, Every page of the book has been touched by the goddess himself. Every word and picture in the book carries the power of the goddess, almost omnipotent. Flashes of magic fluctuations vaguely came from the book, which represents the majesty of the god of love on the earth. As long as the earth exists for one day, the Dharma book is indestructible. Even if the attack is powerful, even if it can destroy all energy, the blow will turn into a gentle breeze on the Dharma book, and it cannot even leave any wrinkles on the Dharma book. Because the Dharma book is full of Deniya's divine power. It is very powerful, so it can only be used by devout believers recognized by Deniya, and it doesn't matter if the Dharma book is lost. It will automatically return to the user's hands. If the user dies, it will automatically return to the temple of Deniya.
For these reasons, the ritual of the earth quickly became one of the most important sacred objects of the earth god religion. Often only the archbishop or the archbishop's successors are qualified to use. Of course, only a few people at the highest level of the church in history know about the qualifications.
The power of the ritual of the Dharma Book Land is very powerful. There are three basic functions, which can increase the power of magic, or use it as a storage device to absorb and store a large amount of magic power, and induce it with a small consumption when needed. In order to continuously release high-consumption magic, you can also use magic books as defensive props to defend against some small-range and high-power attacks in critical moments.
If the user is strong enough and has a high degree of compatibility with the Dharma Book or the gods, then you can use the advanced function of the Dharma Book, thirty-two pages. Each one actually contains a top-level magic technique. The lower the ranking, the greater the consumption of the magic technique and the stronger the effect. Using these magic techniques does not even require the user's magic power and mental power. It only takes a few prayers to achieve it. Of course, this ability is also limited. Although these magic techniques do not consume the user, they will consume the magic book's own energy. It takes a long time to absorb the power of the earth to charge it. Even so, this function can be considered a terrible level.
But this is only an advanced function. Even the senior leaders of the Earth Church and even the previous users of the Algorithm Book will know that once the user reaches a perfect fit with the Dharma Book at a certain moment, the user can even directly bathe in the God's kindness through the Dharma Book, as if standing by the God's side, or even become the incarnation of the God in the mortal world, and his every move contains the power of the God. Of course, this perfect fit can only appear instantly, and the soul of the mortal cannot last long.
Keeping this state is enough, but even if it is only a moment each time, because in the next few minutes, even if you leave this state, the user will still have a power far beyond his original strength. This is the true gift of Deniya to her devout believers. The earth is kind and selfless, and the incarnation of the earth, the god of loving Deniya. For believers who sincerely believe in her, she repays the same generosity and selflessness, and is willing to share her unique dignity and power with the believers.
Therefore, when Lina took over the remaining task of Catherine and blocked the remaining swamp lurker for Freya, she faced the silver-haired girl who was facing the real demigod-level monster for the first time. Her spirit and will reached its peak. At the moment she reached its peak, the girl's consciousness seemed to be withdrawn from her body, observing the battlefield in a more advanced way, but she could control her body freely. This feeling was very wonderful. Every movement of sand and dust on the battlefield was clearly reflected in the girl's consciousness. Every possible action by the swamp lurker painted a clear trajectory in the girl's eyes. Every moment, countless information entered the girl's mind, and tens of millions of times more information than usual observations were obtained. In just one second, the silver-haired girl felt that her consciousness was about to be burst.
Fortunately, the next moment, the wonderful world in front of her was shattered, and the girl's consciousness returned to her body, and used her eyes to observe the enemy in front of her again. Although she was out of the state just now and no one had explained it to her, Lina naturally understood the reason for everything that happened just now. That wonderful state seemed to be the posture of a god looking down at the world. Of course, these were of no significance to Lina, and it was even more impossible to become a god just because she shared the sight of the gods. But she still remembered this special experience deeply, or it was difficult to forget it.
The second lurker, who was moving his tentacles quickly towards Freya, suddenly stopped his forward momentum, and even his tentacles stopped dancing. At some point, the powerful monster suddenly surged from the depths of his heart aroused an instinctive impulse when the sensitive monsters encountered an enemy that could never be defeated. In the perception of the monster, what stood in front of him was no longer a prey the size of a bug, but a god full of majesty. The majestic gaze of the god made it froze even its movements. However, just one second later, this illusion disappeared without a trace, and the tiny bug was still ahead. The lurker's simple consciousness did not doubt why he had such a ridiculous illusion. Once the illusion disappeared, he began to move forward again.
But unfortunately, it still had an illusion that what it stood in front of it was no longer the original legendary priest, but a strong man who had just passed the perfect fit and had powerful strength for a few minutes. Although the perfect fit did not allow Lina to touch the realm of the demigod in advance, it could greatly improve her strength and allow her to stand at the upper level of legendary strength.
"Lu Ling, slow." Lina held the Dharma Book in one hand, which floated on the palm of her raised palm, emitting a soft silver glow. The light was rhythmic with her heartbeat. The girl pointed forward gently with her right hand, as if she had automatically understood this state. She no longer recited prayers, but directly issued an order.
The body of the lurker in the swamp shook, and the air around him became sticky. It felt like he had returned to the familiar swamp, surrounded by mud that wrapped and protected him. However, these muds felt completely different. They only hindered their bodies, but could not support their bodies and allowed them to move freely in the mud. It was obviously a familiar environment, but it only hindered itself. This awkward feeling made the lurker extremely anxious, waving his tentacles in vain, and trying to break free from the obstacles around him, but it was difficult to do it. After all, such obstacles were not physical and could not be destroyed. They could only fight with greater strength, but the lurker's way of acting was destined to make their center of gravity unstable, and they had to be careful when walking quickly, let alone spending more force to fight slowly.
Moreover, the obstacles to materialization came soon. Lina blinked, snorted gently, stretched her right hand, and her index finger circled in the air, and shouted loudly: "Holy Words, Cage."
Even though this is Panis's inherent spiritual realm, the power of the gods is still transmitted. A large number of stone pillars are generated from the ground under the will of the gods, interlacing into a sparse net of stone pillars, locking the swamp lurkers in the center.
"The Holy Word, the Burial of the Earth." The third order came, and countless fine sand fell out from the ground, slapped on the imprisoned lurker like sand waves, forming a conical dune dozens of meters high, and thousands of tons of yellow sand buried the lurker underneath.
