You call this magic?

Ethan thought so.

Volume 1: The Burial of Fulilian (I): Chapter 25: Ethan, Escape! (Thanks to Tearful Man)

What Ethan and Fulilian didn't expect was that once they decided to move forward, they would have no other choice.

And they finally understood why Minus could easily destroy a country by herself. If she only used magical abilities to carry out large-scale destruction, although human magicians were not as strong as her, they might not be unable to defeat the enemy if they united to fight.

No matter how powerful a magician is, his magic power is limited. Continuously releasing large-scale destructive magic will undoubtedly lead to rapid overdraft and being killed.

Even if she was a great magician, Minus wouldn't be this strong.

What enables her to do this, in addition to the army of golems that are enhanced by her various magics, is also a kind of magic that Minus possesses.

In the sky, a ball of light like the sun was emitting warm light. Even Ethan and Fulilian, who were several kilometers away, could see it clearly.

And seeing that meant that they were very close to the great magician Minus.

Apart from the ball of light, the sky was covered with dark clouds and the wind was blowing strongly. Even though it didn't rain, it gave people a feeling that the end of the world was approaching.

Anyone with a little common sense would definitely turn around and leave when seeing this scene.

"What is that? It feels very strange." Ethan stared at the light and felt that the light was not particularly dazzling, and looking directly at it would not affect his vision.

Only Fulilian's expression suddenly turned ugly after seeing the ball of light.

"That feeling, it's not right, why is it here?"

Fulilian immediately turned to Ethan: "Ethan, now, run away immediately--"

Almost at the same moment she turned around, the ball of light suddenly "exploded".

The speed of light is beyond the ability of humans to react.

The explosion caused a halo to spread over a very large area. There was no time to react at all, and it passed through the bodies of the two people in the blink of an eye.

……

!!!

Ethan rolled over from the bed, his back completely soaked with cold sweat.

He stared blankly at the familiar scene before him, his brain still not returning to the current situation.

"This is, my home?"

Ethan sat on the bed in a daze. The previous second, his memory was still stuck on the moment when Fulilian warned him to escape. The next second, he woke up from the bed.

Was it a dream?

It was as if he had had a very long dream, so long that he almost forgot what his parents looked like.

The room that should have been extremely familiar now seemed so strange.

How do you unlock your phone? Oh, right, by pressing your fingerprint.

After watching some videos, the memory of the dream about Fulilian and her career as a magician was quickly fading from my mind.

Just like every morning when we wake up after a beautiful dream, no matter how beautiful the dream is, we have to face reality.

It's time to get up and go to work.

He waved at the clothes at the end of the bed. After a moment's silence, he realized that this was his habitual action after waking up in his dream, which was the magic of moving objects.

"Haha, there is no magic in the real world. I am just dreaming and crazy." After complaining about himself, he stood up, got dressed, washed up, and completely recovered his memories of real life.

However, he still felt a little regretful in his heart.

But even this regret is slowly fading away.

When he went out and walked on the familiar streets, he always had a particularly unreal feeling, as if he shouldn't be like this. However, the pressure of work and study would overwhelm everything.

When he was still a few steps away from the company, Ethan suddenly stopped.

Once he arrives at the company and starts working, this feeling of being immersed in the afterglow of the dream will completely disappear.

He feels that way, which is a good thing for his work life.

But he was unable to take this step, and he himself didn't know why this happened.

I looked at the time and it wasn’t too late.

"How about buying a cup of coffee first..."

He turned around and walked towards the coffee shop next to him, but just when he was halfway there, he suddenly heard a woman's scream from the side of the road.

"Catch the robber!!! He stole my bag, help!!!"

Ethan subconsciously turned around and saw that the person whose bag was snatched seemed familiar, but now he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

The robber ran farther and farther away. Although there were some enthusiastic citizens chasing him, it seemed difficult to catch him in a short time.

If it were me...

Ethan subconsciously looked in the direction the robbers fled, his body tense.

【High-speed Movement Magic】

In an instant, Ethan jumped and rushed behind the robber, slapping him to the ground with a skillful slap. When he came to his senses, he had already got the victim's stolen bag.

At this moment, almost everyone's eyes were suddenly focused in astonishment on Ethan who was still stepping on the robber's back.

No, I, how could it be possible?!

Ethan unconsciously took two steps back, threw away his bag, and turned and ran.

It seemed like someone was talking, but he had no time to listen.

Because at this moment, the familiar notes were floating quietly in his mind.

Why didn’t I notice it just now? Why didn’t I try to meditate? Why didn’t I try to take a nap?

This was the only thought in Ethan's mind.

When he ran home, he immediately turned on the computer.

He already knew that he was in some kind of illusion. The magic he had learned was ineffective, but the magic released by the notes could still be used. In other words, the magic created with the notes was not affected by this illusion.

This illusion was so real that it was almost entirely based on his memory. Even some details that he had not noticed could be reproduced one by one.

Rather than calling it an illusion, it would be more accurate to say that his life was directly intercepted and reproduced.

He had only one idea, which was to use the notes and the information he had found to create new magic to destroy the illusion.

However, the search engine on the computer didn't work because he could only see what he had seen before. But he couldn't think of anything for a moment. He tried some content about Bleach and found that Kidō wasn't even as fashionable as Zanpakuto and the like, and its function was even worse.

Sure enough, I have to find something else.

In this case, let’s look for it in the game skills.

You may not have watched many anime, but you must have played the games.

Soon, he found his target.

From the name to the activation posture and effect, he wrote down everything he knew in his notes.

When he was writing, he was a little nervous because the effect of this thing was outrageous, and he was worried that the effect would not be recognized by the notes.

However, it turned out that he was too worried.

【Regression principle】.

The golden rule from the Elden Circle reveals the truth, breaks through illusions, and allows everything to return to its unchanging foundation. Pray.

When playing the game, apart from knowing that "Malika is Radagon", he basically never used this prayer, but at least he had used it once and still had some impression of its effect, which was enough to constitute the conditions for successful recording in the notes.

After quickly writing it down, Ethan did not waste the remaining time. He quickly searched the anime he had watched before and found several magic spells that could quickly enhance his current strength.

The only problem was that his current magic power and imagination could not support him in writing very powerful magic. After hurriedly writing a few, he stopped.

The opportunity is good, but Fulilian is still outside!

PS: To thank the Tearful Treasure Chest for the extra chapter, there will be another chapter later.

Volume 1: The Burial of Furlin (I): Chapter 26: Everyone in the Brave Squad Knows You

As the Golden Law formation appeared on the ground, everything before his eyes shattered like glass.

He opened his eyes again and found that he and Fulilian were lying on the ground, still near the ball of light.

Unexpectedly, the magic power consumption was a little greater than expected, but it was not unbearable. Fulilian next to him fell into a deep sleep, and Ethan tried many methods but failed to wake her up.

Judging from the last words left by Fulilian before she fell into the illusion, she must have recognized the true nature of this magic, but she was caught before she could say it out loud.

Looking at the sleeping Frillian, Ethan was silent for a while, then put Frillian's box and wand into his backpack.

Then he simply carried her on his back and tied her firmly to his back with a rope.

Although the magic power consumption is large, the warrior's ability is not consumed at all.

Not knowing what he would encounter ahead, he could only choose to conserve his magic power and not use it until he fully recovered. If swinging a hatchet could solve the problem, there was no need to use magic.

As for why they didn't retreat directly, it was because according to previous statements, as believers of the goddess, the monks had the goddess's protection and were immune to any illusion magic.

The goddess magic interpreted from the holy scriptures sent down by the goddess is even more exaggerated. Even if one does not know the principle, one can still release powerful magic. This is the goddess magic.

The detoxification magic and toxin analysis that Ethan wanted most were also goddess magic. If he wanted to learn them, it would take a long time unless he immediately chose the monk route. But without the faith in the goddess, he would probably be kicked out soon.

What he had to do now was to immediately find Haita in this city and ask him to try to use the goddess magic to help awaken Fulilian.

No matter what, he had to give it a try. According to his memory of this illusion, if Fulilian was allowed to stay in it for too long, the difficulty of waking her up would increase exponentially.

Carrying Fulilian on his back, Ethan turned around to look at the pretty face so close to him and said softly, "Master, I will definitely rescue you and your friends."

Naturally, Fulilian didn't react at all. Ethan sighed softly and started running at full speed.

A few kilometers of road were soon reached. The city had become extremely quiet. If he had not been mentally prepared in advance, he would probably be scared by the people lying on the ground when he stepped into the city.

Everyone in the city was trapped in the previous nightmare.

But what attracted the most attention were the golems standing motionless in the middle of the road.

Unlike the previous scenes, these golems neither attacked immediately nor destroyed the streets, which made Ethan begin to wonder how those cities were destroyed before?

Anyway, let’s find the church first.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly saw a dark shadow flash by in the corner of his eye.

The place where the black shadow disappeared was deep in an alley.

Ethan rushed over almost immediately. After experiencing the previous wave, there were still people awake in this city?

In any case, the most important thing is to catch this person and immediately ask him the secret of his staying awake.

As soon as he turned a corner, Ethan found that the figure was standing there, as if waiting for him.

However, Ethan failed to brake.

boom!

With a scream, the man flew out and lay on the ground howling.

"It hurts so much! Why don't you look where you're walking?"

"Are you planning to scam me or what?" Ethan's eyes turned cold, and the guilt in his heart was immediately hidden.

"No, no!" The man immediately stood up and bowed respectfully. "Excuse me, is that the magician Fulilian on your back?"

"Yes."

"Then please follow me. Lord Haita has been waiting for your arrival for a long time."

This is unbelievable. Before he even looked for her, she showed up at his doorstep?

He did not completely abandon his vigilance, but followed the man into the city's sewers while keeping a safe distance. After turning several corners, he arrived at a relatively spacious area.

A few oil lamps were hung in the humid environment, providing the most basic lighting. The light was dim, but enough for Ethan to see the old man standing in the middle of the room.

This was a monk with a smile on his face, but it was obvious that he had not washed for a long time. Not only him, but everyone around him was covered in dust.

"I'm sorry, but water is very precious right now. It's a bit unkempt for me to meet you in this appearance. Please forgive me, Ethan."

The old man came to Ethan and looked at Fulilian who was sleeping with her head resting on Ethan's shoulder. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I am Bishop Haita. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"you know me?"
