I became the master of the alien world

Chapter 553 A new journey (thirty-four)

"By the way, Elder Li Nosia, what exactly is missing here that you just mentioned?" Now that the self-introduction was over, Edward naturally immediately brought the topic back to the original point.

"Haven't you noticed yet?" Lenosia shook her head helplessly, "Don't you think this city is lifeless?"

"Eh?! When you say that, it seems..." Li Nosia's words immediately made Ellie understand something. She looked around and found only a few elves sitting listlessly in the huge elf city.

Under the tree, there was a lifeless look.

"The city is now being shrouded in death, and no one can escape.

The rest can only wait for death to come." The melancholy look on Li Nosia's face seemed to become more solemn at this time.

"What do you mean?" After hearing what Li Nosia said, Edward couldn't help but frown.

He could see that although Li Nosia had never made a move, it could be seen from every move that her martial arts skills were definitely not inferior to his.

For her to say such words of near despair, it was really hard to believe what had happened to the elf.

"In fact, even if you do what my people say outside the city, you still won't be able to leave the city.

Once you step into the city, you cannot leave here again.

I said, this city is already a city waiting for death, no one can escape from his grasp, no one." When Lenosia said this, her expression looked very gloomy.

"What happened? We encountered many abandoned elven villages along the way.

Does it have anything to do with that?" Seeing Lenosia's expression, Alma couldn't help but become extremely impatient.

"That's right.

Indeed.

And this is the last city where people still exist." Lenosia said, shaking her head, "The opponent we encountered is the Soul Reaver."

"impossible.

Soul Reaver, um, isn't that only in legend?" After hearing the name Soul Reaver, Ellie almost jumped up from her chair.

"What exactly is a Soul Reaver?" Seeing Ellie's excitement, Edward couldn't help but frowned.

"The truth is no one knows what the Soul Reaver looks like.

But a long time ago, I mean almost when mankind just left the barbaric era, there was such a legend.

Legend has it that there is a being who lives on the souls of various intelligent creatures, and that being is called the Soul Reaver.

No one knows what he looks like or what strength he has.

The only thing he knows is that he will leave no soul behind wherever he passes.

All souls and even bodies will be devoured by him, even giant dragons are no exception." Ellie's voice seemed a little trembling at this time.

"Really, is it really that strong?" After hearing Ellie's description, Edward and the others immediately looked extremely surprised.

In this era, the dragon was a symbol of absolute power.

A creature that even a dragon can't contend with is so terrifying that most people can no longer believe it.

"That's right.

But the legendary Soul Reaver also has weaknesses." Ellie tried hard to calm herself down before continuing, "It is said that the Soul Reaver is very afraid of the sun.

As long as he is exposed to direct sunlight, he will die immediately."

"Is this true?" Edward and the others couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that their opponents still had weaknesses.

"I don't know." Ellie spread her hands and looked helpless. "Everything is a legend. There is no evidence to prove anything I just said."

"Anyway, let's try to leave this city first." Edward pondered for a while and said, "Elder Linosia, I plan to try to leave here with my companions first.

If it succeeds, I will definitely help all of you here leave this city."

"Although it is futile for you to do so, I don't mind your attempts.

If necessary, I can provide any help." Li Nosia nodded as she spoke, but her expression remained unchanged.

Obviously she didn't believe what Edward could do.

Soon, Edward and the others arrived outside the city.

Sure enough, not far from the city limits, an invisible wall stopped them.

At this time, Ellie immediately released the wind element to explore, but the conclusion she came to made her frown.

This barrier actually completely covered the entire Silver Moon City.

Not only the sky, but also the ground agrees.

"There seems to be no way around it.

Then let me try it first." Edward saw that Ellie was in difficulty, so he drew the Mighty Sword and stepped forward and said.

"Mysterious meaning: Dragon Breaking Strike!" With Edward using all his fighting energy, the mighty sword in his hand had turned into an indestructible force. It emitted golden light and hit the barrier heavily with a power that seemed to destroy everything.

But then there was only a roar, and then Edward was knocked out by the reaction force, while the barrier was naturally unscathed.

"Let me give it a try." Seeing Edward's appearance, Ellie said.

But there was no sense of confidence in her tone.

Immediately, countless magical lights and explosions continued to be heard from where they were.

About a quarter of an hour later, the last magical light finally dissipated.

At the same time, Ellie involuntarily fell to her knees on the ground, looking exhausted.

In fact, just now, she had tried all the magic she had learned except dragon language, but the result was the same as Edward's.

The barrier still stood in front of them intact.

"Everyone should take a rest first." Seeing this result, Linosia on the side did not show any surprise. It was obvious that this was the outcome she had expected.

"No, it's not here yet..." Ellie couldn't help but hold her golden bracelet.

But at this moment, an elf ran over in a panic.

Then he whispered something into Li Nosia's ear.

Immediately, Li Nosia's face became extremely ugly.

"I'm sorry, please go to the city to rest.

I have something very important to deal with now." Li Nosia said and turned around to leave, but Ellie immediately stopped her.

"Please wait a moment, Elder Linocia." Ellie stood up with strong energy at this time, "Has the Soul Reaver started eating?"

Li Nosia paused for a moment, with an obviously painful look on her face.

She stared at Ellie for a few seconds, then nodded as if with all her strength.

"If possible, please take us to see it.

Maybe there is some remedy." After receiving Li Nosia's confirmation, Ellie immediately continued.

"All right.

You all come together." Li Nosia nodded and said helplessly.

In a tree house, Edward and the others saw the elf who was about to be swallowed.

The elf looked very weak, with countless black spots covering his body.

After seeing Li Nosia enter the door, he struggled and stretched out his hand to try to help her.

But at this moment, he seemed to see something in his eyes, and he looked extremely frightened.

Less than a moment later, a low groan came from his throat.

Immediately, Edward and the others discovered that the elf's eyes had become cloudy after that moment, and the originally outstretched hand suddenly dropped down at that moment.

But everything was not over. Just after the elf's consciousness dissipated, Edward and the others were surprised to find that the black spots all over his body began to spread, and soon his body became pitch black.

Immediately afterwards, the darkened skin began to lighten, and at the same time, they were surprised to find that it was not only the elf's skin that had lightened, but also his own body.

After a moment, the elf's body slowly disappeared in front of everyone like a bubble, as if he had never appeared.

"This, this is how the Soul Reaver devours other people." Even Edward couldn't help but feel a hair in his heart after seeing such a strange situation. It was not because of fear, but because of human beings' innate fear of unknown things.

.

"That's right.

In fact we all are the same.

After entering this city, those dark spots will appear on your body soon.

When they are all over the body, our result will be the same as his." Linosiya on the side replied calmly, and then took off her gauntlets.

Edward and the others soon saw some tiny black spots on the exposed skin.

Several people were shocked, and then they subconsciously checked the skin.

Sure enough, there were some very inconspicuous black spots on the backs of my hands and legs.

It seems that it has not been around for a long time.

"How long does it take for this thing to spread all over the body?" Alma on the side asked nervously after seeing the spots on her body.

"It's hard to say.

If you take it slow, it seems that it can last for a long time." Li Nosia thought for a moment and continued, "In fact, these spots on my body have appeared for about a month.

However, some people spread very quickly and are usually devoured within three to five days.

From my personal observation, it seems to be related to each person's strength.

People with strong martial arts and mental strength can last longer."

"It seems we don't have much time left." After walking out of the wooden house, Edward seemed a little thoughtful.

"I'm sorry, it's me who got everyone involved." Seeing everyone's worried looks, Alma looked very uncomfortable.

"I said, this is not your fault." Hearing what Alma said, Edward smiled calmly, then shook his head and said, "Even if we are looking for clues about the blessing of water, we will visit here.

Elf.

This kind of thing is unpredictable, and now that it has happened, we should find a way to solve it first."

"But to be honest, this barrier is really weird. Even the sealing sword can't completely destroy it. What is that thing made of? It's really weird." After Edward said this, he glanced out of the city unwillingly.

.

Edward had just tried to use temporary imprinting magic to awaken the Song of Redemption, a sealed sword that specifically restrained various invisible energies, but the result was still disappointing.

The sealing sword can indeed break through the barrier, but only the sword itself can break through it, not even the hilt can penetrate it.

Edward's complaint seemed to give Ellie some inspiration. She suddenly lowered her head and thought for a while, and then suddenly said: "Edward, maybe we still have a way.

Although I don't know exactly how the barrier is constructed.

But after all, it is made of energy, and there should be hope to break it.

If you want to be specific, give me a few days and I will definitely be able to find a solution by then."

"Understood.

Please do everything." After seeing Ellie say that, several people's faces obviously improved a lot.

In the next few days, Ellie almost always locked herself in a tree house. Except for occasionally running to the edge of the barrier and blasting it with low-level magic, she spent most of the time inside the house immersed in calculations.

The whole room was filled with various magic circles and runes drawn by her.

During this period, victims continued to appear.

Almost every day one or two elves are devoured.

And this kind of situation just makes other people who have not yet died look a bit sad.

The elves do not lack the determination to resist, but when facing this kind of opponent, they don't even know how to resist.

At the moment, they only feel like animals trapped in a cage, and they may be swallowed up by the invisible opponent at any time.

"The situation here seems to be very bad." Edward said to Red beside him while sitting on a huge branch and looking at the lifeless elf city below.

"Those elves seem to have given up hope of living.

The only one we can rely on now is ourselves." Reid did not deny what Edward said.

Except for Li Nosia, who is the elder and is still fulfilling his duties, the remaining elves here almost do nothing except sit under the tree and look up at the sky aimlessly all day long, which makes people feel how decadent and boring it is.

How decadent.

"Yeah." Edward snorted, seeming a little helpless.

After all, facing the current situation, he had pinned all his hopes on Ellie, and he seemed completely powerless. "I don't know how Ellie is doing now. She hasn't shown up for almost ten days."

"Edward, Edward! Where are you!" Just as he was saying this, Edward only heard Ellie's slightly anxious voice coming from under the tree.

"Ellie, I'm here!" Hearing this voice, Edward immediately jumped out of the tree trunk, then walked quickly to Ellie and asked anxiously, "How is it? Is there anything?

Is there a solution?"

Ellie nodded and said hurriedly: "Yes, but it needs to be tested.

Please find Elder Norcia, Mr. Reid and Elucina as soon as possible.

I need other help."

"Understood, I'm going to find Elder Lenosia." Edward nodded, then raised his head and shouted towards Red, "Red, go find your Elucina."
