The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo's words made the devil stunned for a moment, although he didn't think that anyone could violate the law of sin, but for some reason he felt a burst of fear, thinking that Leo could really do it.

In fear, the demon was carried by Leo to an open space in the garden, and then he threw it directly on the ground.

Afterwards, he saw a dagger in Leo's hand at some point. This dagger had a weird shape, it looked like some kind of bone, and it would break if he touched it casually, but he could feel it on the dagger. To a very terrifying power, this kind of terrifying power is not even much worse than the terrifying existence in the depths of the sin.

Before he could react, the bone knife had already been inserted into his chest. In an instant, his body was burned to ashes, and his soul was drawn away by a force so powerful that he couldn't resist, even in the abyss of sin. His body was also pulled out of the abyss of sin because of the connection of the soul, and entered an unknown place.

In the eyes of others, Leo took out a dagger and stuck it in the demon's chest. After several days of torture, the demon that did not die instantly turned into ashes. , everyone except Leo passed out, and those monsters that hadn't escaped and died also died instantly.

And Leo could no longer feel the outside situation at this moment, his consciousness entered the void universe again, saw the turbidity and lightness Lord appearing in the form of countless bubbles, and saw that there was a complete body in each bubble. world.

In front of the Lord of Turbidity and Lightness, Leo was as small as a speck of dust, which shouldn't have attracted the attention of the higher beings of the universe, but for some reason, Leo felt a concern stay on him for a while, then Maybe it was only a ten-thousandth of a second, but it was enough to make Leo feel as if his soul was torn apart.

Immediately after a ray of light fell on him, he returned to the swamp manor, and the feeling of tearing in his soul disappeared, replaced by an indescribable comfortable feeling. The power of original sin also dissipated quickly, and his eyes quickly returned to normal.

At this time, he saw Sylvia and the others lying on the ground, thinking that something was wrong, he immediately went up to check and found that they had just passed out, so he did not wake them up, but carried them one by one to the Rest in the house.

After that, he looked at the corpses of the monsters in the manor, thought for a while, and then found tools from Geralt for dissecting monsters and collecting materials, and quickly cleaned up the monsters in the manor that could collect materials. And while cleaning, pile up the monsters together and set them on fire.

Leo's hands and feet were very fast. In less than two hours, all the monsters were dealt with by him, and all valuable materials were harvested by him. The remaining corpses formed four burning fires. .

In order to prevent the fire from going out, Leo specially demolished some houses in the manor, picked out not very damp wood from them, and piled them into the fire.

After doing these things, Leo began to check his body.

Although Leo was very calm towards Sylvia just now, it is not a big deal for people to be infiltrated by the power of original sin, and he can easily remove it.

But in fact, the situation is not as good as he showed. In fact, there is only one way for Leo to clean up the power of original sin, which is to rely on the eyeball of the abyss snake to absorb the power of devouring original sin.

However, there is a limit to the absorption of the power of original sin by the eyeballs of the abyss snake. According to his estimation, it will take more than a month to absorb and devour all the power of original sin on his body. During this period of time, Leo must always listen to the whispers from the abyss of sin. This whisper contains inexplicable power that can affect the minds of others and make them crazy.

At that time, he had already heard the whispers of the sinful abyss, and he did not absolutely believe that I could survive this kind of spiritual devastation. Unless he still maintained the mechanical mind of the biochemical man back then, he would definitely be affected.

However, now all the power of original sin in his body has disappeared, and it is not correct to say that it has disappeared, it should be regarded as digested, because he can feel that his total psionic energy seems to have increased by a large amount, it seems that this should be his Benefits received from the Lord of Turbidity and Lightness after sacrificing a demon.

However, this benefit is not very good for Leo, because with the improvement of spiritual power, his life level is also changing, and the difficulty of developing and controlling the potential of the body has also increased, and the problem The biggest thing is that he has already felt the barrier from the sixth-level psyker to the seventh-level psyker.

Every three psychic levels is a great evolution of life, and this is the evolution of the third-level psyker to the fourth-level psyker. If the normal procedure is followed, Leo should start to organize the body when the fourth-level psyker After reaching the top of the sixth level of psionic energy, one only needs to accumulate psionic energy to reach the energy required for evolution, and then one can smoothly enter another life form.

But now Leo's psychic power has touched the ceiling of evolution, but the control and development of his body are still between the fourth-level and fifth-level psychics. would be a disaster.

Leo is very clear about the problem he is facing now, but he doesn't have a good way to solve it. He can only continue to develop and control the potential of his body, and pray that the level of development of his body's potential is equal to that of his spiritual power. , the spiritual power will no longer continue to grow, breaking through the spiritual power level.

In addition to the substantial increase in spiritual power, the biggest change is the black ring flame in the eyeball of the crystal serpent.

After absorbing a large amount of the power of original sin, Leo felt that the flame of the black ring had begun to turn from emptiness to reality, and it seemed that a fire of sin had been produced, but he could not control this flame, and at the same time he could feel It is known that this flame contains extremely terrifying energy, if you come into close contact with it, you may hurt yourself.

Afterwards, Leo checked the condition of his body several times. After not finding any abnormal changes, he shifted his consciousness back to reality, got up and threw some wood into the fire, and then sat on the wall of the house and closed his eyes. repose.

At the same time, his consciousness began to build several layers of defense in the memory bank, sealing all the knowledge about Abyss of Sin in the deepest part of his memory, and he was not going to reveal this memory until he was able to resist the erosion of Abyss of Sin.

A few hours later, Sylvia and the others woke up from the coma one after another. They tacitly didn't ask about the power that appeared when killing the demon, because in their opinion, that power can only be possessed by gods, although they don't know What kind of god did Leo summon to deal with the demons, but they all knew that it was best not to ask about the gods, and to know less.

Leo took out the materials harvested last night, and said that he would make these materials into potions and distribute them to everyone. Naturally, everyone was very willing. After all, compared to pure materials, the wizard potions made by Leo are more valuable.

Fringela and Alto also added a fire to the corpse fire to make the corpse burn faster. They no longer wanted to stay in this bloody smelling place any longer, and wanted to return to the residence to freshen up and rest as soon as possible. But they can't leave until the monster's corpse is completely burned, otherwise, if some monster's corpse is not completely burned, it may cause some unnecessary troubles.

The vision in the sky and the four huge fires in the manor easily attracted the attention of Bauclair, and the Duchess was the one who paid the most attention.

Fringila had mentioned to the Duchess before that they were doing some business in the swamp manor, but the Duchess only thought that their so-called business was just cleaning up some monsters, but she didn't expect such a big commotion, especially It was the vision that appeared in the sky that caused commotion among the people, and the fire that appeared in the swamp afterwards made things even more confusing.

Although ordinary people are curious about the swamp, no one dares to approach it, because there are a lot of monsters inhabiting the swamp, and ordinary people running there are just seeking their own death.

So many people gathered outside the Beauclair Palace, asking the Duchess to send someone to investigate what was going on.

Faced with this situation, the Duchess complained to Fringila and the others, and at the same time ordered her maid and the captain of the guard to lead a Bauclair duke's guard to the swamp to check the situation.

The team soon crossed the Sansledo River by boat and came to the Sansledo swamp area, and then headed towards the manor after looking for the firelight. Their speed in the swamp was not fast, except that the road in the swamp was difficult. Go, always beware of stepping into the swamp, but also to guard against the monsters that survive in the swamp.

However, what made this team feel incredible was that they almost crossed the swamp without encountering a single monster. Just when they were puzzled, they came to the abandoned manor and saw Flynn Gila and the others also saw the four burning fires, and only then did they understand why they didn't encounter monsters.

Looking at the corpses of monsters piled up like four hills and the blood on the ground, and smelling the thick smell of blood around them, some imaginations quickly appeared in the minds of the duke guards, and the eyes they looked at Leo and the six became incomparable. Awe, after all, everything in front of me is too shocking.

At this time, the maid still did not forget the Duchess's order, so she asked Fringela what happened before.

Fringila is also very clever. She didn't tell the maid that it was some side effects caused by their interrogation and dissection of demons, but said that they wanted to solve the problem of monsters in Toussaint in a short time, so they found a way to attract monsters. , and then used this method in Sansledo Swamp with the largest number of monsters, attracting almost all the monsters in the swamp area to gather here, and they also used this method to eliminate these monsters.

If the duke's guard came to the manor through other routes, even if they saw the four piles of monster corpses like hills, they would still have some doubts about the authenticity of Fringilla's words, but they came here through the swamp, They didn't encounter any monsters along the way, which proved Fringilla's words in disguise, so they all looked at Leo and the others with respect, thinking that they were doing things for Toussaint without any reward. For such a great good deed, he can definitely be called a hero.

After finding out the situation, the duke's maid and the duke's guard did not stay in the manor anymore, they left immediately and went back to report the situation to the duke.

In the middle of the night, the Duke's maid and the Duke's guard returned to the Beauclair Palace and reported the situation.

After hearing this, the Duchess felt a little puzzled, because there was Sylvia among those people, and she had just received the battle report from the front line just a moment ago. Sylvia had led the knights to eliminate Bell. The Belhaven territory outside Haven Castle was completely destroyed, and now the spoils of this time are being escorted back to the border of Toussaint, and they will be able to return to Bowclairland before tomorrow evening.

Now Sylvia, who is the coach, did not sit in the army, but appeared in the manor in Sansreddo Swamp, which really puzzled her.

However, the Duchess did not doubt the authenticity of the battle report, because the battle report was not only sent by the Knights of Light, but also other knights, and nobles accompanying the army. Almost everyone praised Sylvia's ability, And also said that Sylvia led the Knights of Light to the front in every battle, so Sylvia was separated in two places.

Soon the duchess thought of her cousin and advisor, and guessed that she must have used magic to bring Sylvia here, so she was also a little dissatisfied with Fringilla.

With the emergence of the Knights of Light, Sylvia has become her confidant, because Sylvia can not only make good suggestions in politics, but also can be of great help in military affairs. , such as this military operation against Belhaven is the best proof.

The report of this small war has now spread all over Toussaint, Sylvia's reputation among the people has been greatly improved, and although the Duchess's reputation among the people cannot be compared with Sylvia's, it is even better among the nobles. It has been promoted to one level, and the most obvious thing is that several of the policies she proposed have been successfully passed without any opposition from the nobles, which has never happened before.

Now the Duchess does not want to see Sylvia get hurt or other things happen, so she already has some ideas in her mind and decides to let Sylvia take up some easier and safer positions instead of hunting around like before. monster.

While considering how to arrange Sylvia, the Duchess also let the palace herald announce the battle report she just received and what happened in Sansredo Swamp to the people outside the palace. What happened in the Swamp has been slightly modified. After Sylvia defeated the army led by Belhaven, she returned to Toussaint non-stop and led the court advisors, demon hunters and others to clean up the swamp for the people. The monsters that made Sylvia the protagonist of the Swamp Thing War.
