Arcane Lord

There is no timekeeping in the astral world. Before he knew it, five days of Xia Duo's perception had passed, and these five days were actually borrowed from the future.

When he returned to the main plane, although it was still the night of his visit to Leisen Territory, these five days would instantly act on his body.

He had discovered that this body was not a real body, but was made of astral matter, or a conceptual existence constructed by [projections of thoughts, souls, etc. that could represent Xia Duo's essence].

Of course, the astral world itself played a role in this, but at the same time, he also had an idea-

Can his current body return to the main plane? If it can return, what will happen to his body?

Will there be a scene where two bodies exist at the same time?

Or, the consciousness is still dominated by this body, while the real body falls into a deep sleep. Isn't this a more advanced real incarnation spell than the general projection?

In any case, Xia Duo has decided to go to Giles Tower to find relevant information after returning from the Dream Ruins. If nothing unexpected happens, it should not be difficult to reach a deal.

...

That day, Thorne brought food to Shado and Cliff. Not long after he left, he suddenly appeared again with a serious expression: "Cliff, I'm being targeted by a group of native hunters. I need your help!"

"Okay!"

Cliff agreed without any hesitation. He had no reason not to agree. After all, Thorne encountered the native hunters of the Star Realm because of his personal affairs.

If it weren't for this, Thorne could have left alone.

Just when the two of them agreed and were ready to go out together, Shado hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, "Sir Thorne, I want to help too!"

"You?"

Thorne glanced at Shado, then nodded, and gave an additional reminder: "Don't think about how to fight the enemy when you are outside, just protect yourself first!"

After that, the scene in the plane around the three people quietly retreated. Just as Shado reacted, he was once again in the Star Realm void.

But the void was very calm at this moment, with only a series of void ripples behind him that seemed to be the trajectory of Thorne's movement slowly spreading.

Xia Duo looked around in all directions, but did not find the "native hunter" mentioned by Thorne. He was about to ask, but found that a discordant gray shadow suddenly appeared in the silver background about a few thousand meters ahead of the trajectory.

Could it be the native hunter that Thorne mentioned?

After careful perception, Xia Duo found that the gray shadow was moving rapidly towards the current position of the three people, but the gray shadow itself was not any creature, but the astral wind stirred up by the unknown existence when it moved rapidly!

"Go around first!"

Thorne seemed to be quite afraid of the so-called "native hunters". Even if there was a great arcane who had subverted the main plane around him, he had no intention of fighting.

So, under the leadership of Thorne, Xia Duo and the other two moved directly in a direction almost perpendicular to the original trajectory.

But before the three flew far, Thorne stopped and said gloomily: "It seems that he doesn't want to let us go. Get ready for a fight!"

Cliff was silent after hearing this, but was just brewing something silently.

As for Shado, he was a little nervous, but he still tried to calm his chaotic thoughts. He reached out and touched the sapphire necklace on his neck, and his eyes gradually became firm.

The next moment, Shado's body was full of glow. This was not caused by the sapphire necklace given to him by Iolum, but by the astral combat method that Shado figured out by himself.

In the astral world, the effect of spellcasting was greatly reduced, and the role of thought and will was magnified to the extreme. Shado could not go against the rules of the astral world itself, so he naturally had to go with the flow.

The glow on his body was the embodiment of the will to protect. As for the attack——

Shado pulled out the [Blade of Negation] hanging on his waist, put his left hand together, and slowly slid across the sword. In the process, he used his firm will to annihilate the enemy to coat the [Blade of Negation] with a layer of destructive light.

Combined with the [Breaking the Law] effect that was still retained after the [Blade of Negation] was converted into star matter, it was full of lethality!

...

Soon, the gray shadow in the void ahead was getting closer and bigger.

Because he was close, Xia Duo could sense that the gray shadow actually had no color. It was only because the refractive index of the wind of the astral world was different from that of the general void that it appeared in that color in the observer's sight.

In fact, in perception, it was a very strong wind of the astral world.

Behind the gray shadow, Xia Duo saw more than a dozen thin humanoid creatures, holding hands, forming a "one" shape, and moving quickly towards this side.

The leader was wearing a set of crimson armor, which was very similar to the color of the crimson protection robe on Xia Duo's body. The rest were all silver armor, almost completely integrated into the bright silver void background of the astral world.

As the more than ten hunters got closer and closer, a circle of bright glow like water waves appeared around Thorne's body, and slowly spread outward.

"Be careful, the wind of the astral world is coming!"

The next moment, Xia Duo felt a strong storm coming from the front. Although the real bodies of those hunters had not yet approached, the impact they brought was indeed not small.

Thorne's blocking did not achieve perfect results. Behind him, Shado could still feel a pure and strong mental impact.

As soon as he sensed it, he knew that he probably couldn't be kind today. The mental storm was mixed with the hunters' extremely confident and determined greed and bloodthirsty thoughts.

After the storm, the glow around Thorn dimmed a bit, but it still existed. It changed from the slow diffusion before and quickly spread to the surroundings.

It's like a bright light shining through the void.

At the same time, Cliff also took action, and a dazzling ray as thick as a finger was launched from his fingertips. In almost the blink of an eye, it hit more than a dozen oncoming hunters.

But that seemingly powerful ray was destroyed with just a casual sword in front of the leader wearing crimson armor.

Then, Thorne shouted: "Follow me!"

Chateau and Cliff responded immediately, and the three of them formed a triangular formation and began to maneuver to avoid the dozen or so hunters coming towards them.

The astral world is a spiritual world, and the scope of influence of spiritual will is very limited. If the opponent does not slow down the melee combat, it is impossible to defeat Xia Duo and the others just by the wind of the astral world.

Of course, if that were the case, it would be impossible for the three of them to really get rid of this group of indigenous hunters.
