I Like This Dream!

It felt like rushing into fire.

No, it was meant to be charging into the flames. The higher we climbed, the more we felt the heat wave coming towards our face, and our eyes were dried out. There was not a single cloud in the sky above Wengala Fortress, and all the water vapor was evaporated as the fire crows approached. Even if you create a protective layer for yourself, it is still uncomfortable to plunge into the fire.

Anxu never stopped meditating or exploring his abilities. She can crush and absorb things close to her. This ability can also create a protective layer around her body. Something is attacking her? Then destroy that thing. Anxu's "protective layer" does not have a defensive limit so far, because it is not a protective ability in the first place. The best defense is offense. This sentence can be said to be the best explanation of Anxu's protective layer.

She penetrated the cloud of fire crows like a bayonet, and the flames and fire crows that rushed towards her disappeared without a trace the moment they entered her defense range. Occasionally, the fire crows who didn't know whether they were lucky or bad passed by her. , lost half of his body and fell straight down. Not long after An Xu flew, the beasts who had seen her power learned the lesson. They separated, avoided her, and rose with her.

Soon An Xu found that she was surrounded by a group of fire crows. Countless fire crows were flying around her at extremely fast speeds. They all looked the same, making An Xu unable to tell the difference between the east and the west. northwest. She couldn't bear to close her eyes in this situation surrounded by flames. The thin layer of eyelids could not block the light from all directions, as if she was trying to take a nap under the window sill with direct sunlight.

An Xu couldn't help but raise his arms to cover his eyes.

This move saved her eyesight.

The moment An Xu stretched out his hand, something rushed out from the fire crows. The sound of its flapping wings was drowned in the fluttering and chirping of birds, and the wind stirred up at the moment of rushing out did not give her any warning. In other words, An Xu never thought that anything could hurt her, even the existence in her mind that made her feel strongly.

She is too arrogant.

The body of the God's Favorite suddenly deviated from the expected flight path. She seemed to have been hit by a speedboat in the water. She rolled backwards uncontrollably and rushed a long distance before stopping dizzy. An Xu subconsciously stretched out his hand to steady himself, but found that his right hand was completely out of control. She opened her eyes and saw a dark red patch on her right arm.

The forearm of that hand had very severe burns, the skin and flesh were pitted, and there was a wound on the forearm that was deep enough to show the bone. Not a drop of blood fell from the open wound, and the cross section showed a terrible burnt red color. An Xu took two glances and didn't dare to look again. Looking around, he saw exactly the same fire crows.

She suddenly rushed to the side, and all the fire crows in her path were cleared. There is no problem with the protective layer. Those who can break through the protection are definitely not these ordinary beasts. What will it be? An Xu was very sure that it was "that thing" she sensed, but she had no idea what it was.

A presence that made An Xu feel kind and familiar.

What are the rules in it? Something in St. Andrew's Theological Seminary (I haven't seen it, but the feeling is the strongest), the snow clouds on the border of Thebes, the huge white bird in another dream (?), and Noah, another favored person of God, give her this There is absolutely no common ground between these two feelings. Could it be that bird? However, the white bird was covered with frost, and there was no chill at all in this hot place that made people sweat.

An Xu didn't have time to think too much when a premonition of danger that made his scalp numb exploded in his back. She had no time to dodge, she only felt herself being hit in the back by a sledgehammer, and the powerful impact knocked her out.

An Xu felt like his internal organs were squeezing into a ball, and he almost vomited out his stomach. She flew a long distance and touched her back with her left hand. A large piece of the clothes on her back was burned, and the scorched fabric and flesh were stuck together. There was a very shallow scratch on the vest, diagonally piercing her spine. It seemed that if An Xu hadn't thickened the entire body's defense to her back at that moment, the thing would have planned to tear out her spine.

Surrounded by endless fire crows.

There is endless red everywhere, and if you open your eyes for a long time, small black spots will appear on the retina. The ears were filled with irregular and noisy sounds, the fire crows were fluttering their wings, and the most unpleasant croaking sounds were heard together. The five senses are all ineffective here, as if you are deaf and blind in someone else's home court. An Xu could sense the existence, but at this distance, her senses were like a map that was not accurate enough. Two small dots overlapped and she could not tell the subtle difference in location.

An Xu took a breath, and a golden arc of electricity erupted around her, like an open sea anemone.

Since evolving, Anxu's external attacks have become much weaker. She used eight points of lightning to only cover the area a few meters away. The layer of fire crows closest to her fell off one by one like ants that had been burnt.

However, there is only such a thin layer.

The place that should have been cleared by lightning was still covered in flames, and Fire Crow was safe and sound. No, it's not the surviving fire crows that are emitting flames, but the sweeping flames protecting the fire crows!

Thunder and lightning collided with flames. The flames were stronger but more dispersed. The two were evenly matched, and neither could do anything to the other. And at the moment when thunder and fire collided, the God's Favorite suddenly had a strange feeling that the two had the same origin. It was the flame of "that thing", and Anxu came to the realization that we... are things on the same level.

An Xu smiled.

She has always had an overwhelming advantage in the battle, and her biggest enemy is just her own endurance. This kind of pleasure is certainly as good as playing the game with a modifier, but what's the point of always beating the mobs in the novice village with a max-level player? Most of the enemies' skins are very brittle. So far, they can only be defeated if they don't want to be defeated. There are even none that require a lot of effort to max out. It makes An Xu feel like "I'll fall down before I can hit you/One of them can hit you." "There is nothing" as lonely as snow.

Someone asked An Xu, would it be interesting to spend a few hours fighting a difficult monster over and over again? Wouldn't it be very annoying? An Xu's answer is: Of course not! God-level equipment that is easy to obtain will shorten the life of a game a lot. The sense of accomplishment when you practice for a long time and rack your brains to defeat difficult bosses is what makes me enjoy playing this game.

This was An Xu's mood at this time.

The stirring of her spiritual core gave her goosebumps, and compared to the sense of danger, the intense feeling that made her hair stand on end was clearly desire. At this moment, she suddenly understood the other party's reason for attacking her, and it must be the same as her.

I see wild monsters like experience packs, and I expect wild monsters to see me the same way.

There was a slight fluctuation in the flame on the right, and something rushed out as fast as a flash. An Xu still only had time to reinforce the protective layer on the right side. The time between feeling the sign of an attack and being attacked was too short. The thing was so fast that she was knocked away without even seeing the opponent's figure clearly.

She flew to the left with the burn on her right shoulder. Before she could get rid of the inertia of staggering, the sense of crisis exploded above her head again.

The guard and his left hand moved upward at the same time. The next second, An Xu's body sank, and the hand blocking his head dropped. That thing used far more force than before, and the left hand made the sound of bones breaking, and it was completely out of control. The God's Blessed who couldn't feel pain couldn't tell how seriously she was injured, but if she could feel pain, she would have passed out from the excessive pain at this moment.

If this doesn't work, you will only be beaten. An Xu frowned and quickly sorted out possible responses in his mind.

Thunder and lightning? It can be said to be the origin of all her abilities, but the weakened range attack cannot break through the defense, and the highly lethal single target attack can only take effect at a distance of a few feet outside the body. Melee combat requires strong physical support, and An Xu cannot bring a human shield to the sky. A mage with thin blood and fragile skin like her has no advantage against such an agile type. She could no longer move her hands. A few more blows and that thing would be enough to kill her.

flight? Without the ability to fly, facing an air attack would only have worse consequences. Anxu's flying ability is more like floating. Her speed is not fast, and she is not flexible enough. Even now that her hands are disabled, she feels that it is difficult to maintain a flat mark, like a fish without a tail fin. There was no way she could compete with this dexterous creature that belonged to the sky.

Detection? This is the ability An Xu needs most now. She has a way to use her powers to enhance her vision and hearing. However, it's not that there are no traces here, but various traces are mixed together. Strengthening the five senses in the Fire Crow crowd is like putting your ears close to a tweeter. Let alone distinguishing it, the possibility of being ruined by the high pitch is obviously greater. An Xu recalled that when she was in the plague isolation zone of Thunder Castle, she could accurately control supernatural powers, weave an electrical grid, and become an omniscient spider at the center of the network. But now that even the arc cannot be extended very far, she is like a search engine that has been disconnected from the Internet and cannot be used at all.

All this thinking was completed in just a moment. The God's Favorite counted the cards in his hand, but for a while he couldn't find one that could win. An Xu didn't have any special means of winning by surprise. After all, what tactics does a lion need to fight an ant? Her victories have always been described as "crushing" and "complete victory."

Just like that thing is treating her now.

"It" didn't give Ansu much breathing room. Before she could figure out a way to deal with it, the attack started again.

Anxu squatted down suddenly and rolled herself into a ball, with layers of defense densely wrapped around her body, like a hedgehog encountering an enemy. That thing hit him, maybe because An Xu was covered in a thick enough turtle shell, maybe because it needed time to recover from the previous heavy blow. The next attack didn't break the defense, but it was hit as a ball. Going is by no means a comfortable thing.

An Xu almost vomited.

The thing didn't stop anymore. An Xu kept repeating the process of being hit here and there. The roller coaster was not as exciting as this. She opened her eyes hard, but all she saw was a swirling orange-yellow with white and black light in it. Was that what she really saw or was her eyes blurred?

An Xu felt like an unlucky guy in an arcade who had eaten the opponent's ultimate move in an infinite sequence. The world kept spinning and spinning. She could no longer distinguish between east, west, south, north, up, down, left, and right, and even time became strange. The seconds felt like hours, and her curled up body became sore, as if she would stumble loose at any moment, and her enemies were probably waiting for this moment. After another heavy blow, Ansu spit out a mouthful of blood, his vision went dark, and he couldn't see anything suddenly.

She didn't faint, there were still chaotic sounds in her ears, but her eyes were black. The anxiety caused by the light source that kept dazzling his eyes receded, and An Xu felt a strange, aloof calmness. She finally turned off the flashing screen and breathed a sigh of relief. She thought to herself that it would be nice to turn off her ears too.

Then Anxu lost hearing.

The best earplugs are not as effective as this. The world is like being covered under a tight quilt, and no sound can be heard. Only the feeling that her body is still being hit from time to time proves that she is still in the same place. This helpless feeling of losing common tools would scare most people, but An Xu breathed a sigh of relief and felt like "it's true."

all fake.

What if you turn off your sense of smell? - Her nose could no longer smell the burnt smell in the air.

What if you turn off the touch sense too? ——She couldn't feel the discomfort of clothes sticking to the wound, couldn't feel the stickiness left by the surge of sweat, couldn't feel the impact of being hit.

What if you turn off all physical sensations?

Suddenly, the heat and cold disappeared, the sense of direction that was tossed around disappeared, and the entire space seemed to have pressed the pause button. No pain, no vision, no hearing, no touch... nothing, this is the real nothingness. An Xu floated in the void, as if he had jumped into a game bug without textures, as if he had fallen into the gap of a dream.

However, in this void, something still exists.

That is Ansu himself.

She saw a woman of medium height, with golden-black hair and a vague face. When she thought of Anna Sullivan, Anna Sullivan's face appeared; when she thought of Anxu, Anxu's face became clear. When the two faces faded away, the woman's figure began to become blurred, turning into an indescribable brilliance.

This is "I" - this realization appeared in her consciousness.

soul.

Her thoughts suddenly started running a thousand times faster, and all kinds of thoughts were clearer than ever before. What should I do if my spiritual core can only eat but not vomit and cannot use range attacks? What principles are used by lightning powers to simulate other effects? What is the relationship between powers, mental power and soul... I am too lazy to think about these or can't think of them. The problems that arise are solved at this moment.

An Xu felt unprecedentedly relaxed. No, it was not unprecedented. He had never felt it before when he broke free from the chains of divine punishment! She began to be surprised at how careless she had become. How could a person who had experienced a normal life endure a life of wearing heavy shackles and having his whole body covered with glue?

She could have been much sharper and stronger than she is now!

The soul is the origin, spiritual power is the power generated by the soul, and supernatural powers are just "expressions". Just like electric current can drive heaters, fans, speakers, cars, etc., psychic powers should not be such a narrow and fixed thing. To put it a bit exaggeratedly, as long as the soul is strong enough, there is no power that cannot be used. This thing is simply a product of idealism. There are only differences in strength and no type restrictions. You can do whatever you want. The different types of superpowers in Yamenan are only limited by themselves.

Having said that, "don't limit yourself" is not as easy as it sounds. The superficial concepts, subconsciousness and what can be done corroborate each other. Except for people with great luck and great perseverance, I am afraid that only An Xu is as wild-minded as he is. "Outsiders" realize this.

An Xu, who had gained a huge advantage by accident, was not grateful for this. She also disliked that she was limited by the inertial thinking when she was awake, and her dreams were not big enough.

She could feel that inside her spiritual core, the golden thread formed by her supernatural power was condensing little by little, weaving something extraordinary. The spirit core has not become an insubordinate miser. The inability to use ranged moves is completely force majeure. It is as if a saturated sponge that can spurt out water with light pressure has become a magnet, a black hole, where energy is easy to absorb but difficult to take out.

But is there really nothing we can do?

Most of her powers were used to build spiritual cores, but Anxu's soul was full and her energy was strong, and she could handle most problems. This is like a wealthy man with a millionaire family who leaves his gold passbook and credit card alone and stares at the 100 yuan in cash on hand. He lives a miserable life every day. How can he be so stupid!

I'm basically the kind of rookie who doesn't recognize the skill button even if its pattern is changed, An Xu said with emotion, so it's too unfair to be hacked to death by a monster because I can't use the skill!

In realizing this, the void dissipates.

She "saw" every feather on the surrounding fire crows jumping in the airflow, "heard" every cry from this group of noisy beasts, and "felt" the trajectory of the huge group of fire crows circling and flying. Detection does not necessarily require thunder and lightning that cannot be deployed now, it only needs to stretch out the tentacles of spiritual power.

How to describe it, at the moment of full mental strength, Anxu does not need any of his senses. Within the scope of her mental powers, she is nearly omniscient and omnipotent.

"Almost," unless something else stopped her.

With this ability, ordinary creatures are completely ants that will not cause trouble. The only one who can stand up to her is another "omniscient and omnipotent one".

They faced each other from a distance, and everything around them froze at the moment of "looking at each other", and the sky became a arena for the two of them. "That thing" is a white bird as big as a house, and its feathers are also flames. Unlike the fire crow with crimson or orange wings, its whole body is burning with white flames, like the rays of the sun.

Ah, found you. An Xu thought.
