Bang! Bang! Bang!....
In the fan-shaped area with a radius of fifteen ters in front of Aiven, the stone-paved ground churned like boiling waves.
Rumble——
Earth and stone hands, similar in shape to Aiven himself, connected like they had their own consciousness, forming a surging wave where each crest was a giant hand.
With the unstoppable montum like the charge of four demons, they lunged towards the two Octopus Heads!
After sensing Aiven use the expelled three Seagulls to eliminate the pollution of "Delusional Heart Sound," the two instantly realized that things had gone awry.
Upon witnessing the earth-shattering scene, all thoughts of capturing Aiven evaporated from their minds, leaving only one idea:
"Run!"
The real world isn’t a ga that requires balance; among the Extraordinary, there are natural differences in strength across various professions, with each specializing in different fields.
So, like Milan the "Prophet," had almost zero combat ability, while others like these two "Deceitful Dream Cultists" were powerful, bizarre, and hard to guard against, yet also weak in direct combat.
Of course, there are those like Aiven, essentially bio-side "researchers," who are more keen on "unstoppable sweeping attacks."
Since the sneak attack had no effect, the Octopus Heads, with no bones in their bodies, certainly weren’t choosing to face off head-on.
However, even in escape, one must employ skill.
Akn, the more aggressive attacker of the two, retracted his tentacles while his nearly pupil-less eyes suddenly flashed towards Aiven.
In the spiritual world.
Boom——
[Psychic Shock!]
Yet this powerful magic, capable of shattering the minds of Evil Spirits and even Extraordinaries, was firmly blocked by the Light Barrier upheld by Aiven’s "yellow gem pendant," who was prepared.
anwhile, his companion, the clearly more steady Mousani, had already abandoned his ally and sprang into action without a word, swiftly fleeing like a great octopus swimming in the air.
When Akn, intent on slowing Aiven’s pursuit with his strongest attack, discovered its ineffectiveness, it was already a bit too late to escape.
Boom!
Under the influence of innate ability, just as his body had barely risen a ter, he was grabbed by a giant earth hand erging nearby.
Crunch——
"Ah! Don’t even think about it!"
At this critical juncture, the intense spiritual radiance in his nearly pupil-less eyes swiftly spread outward, forming an invisible [ntal Barrier] on his surface.
Even though the hand tightened continuously, and cracks began to form due to the strength of the earth structure, it couldn’t shatter the seemingly thin ntal Barrier.
Akn, feeling the sa, was about to show a trace of joy on his face.
Rumble....
More hands accompanying the earth wave swiftly grasped him, one, two, three... sealing him within an earth sphere in the blink of an eye.
And then they exerted force simultaneously.
Akn clenched his teeth and trembled all over, his tentacles stretched straight from exertion.
"Ah—! I... still... don’t... want... to... die!"
However, when he was drawn into a confrontation with Aiven’s strengths against his weaknesses, his final efforts were dood to fail.
The next mont.
Snap——
His two eyes, glowing as bright as lightbulbs... suddenly burst!
And following close behind, was naturally the ntal Barrier, almost equivalent to his life.
Splurrt!
Watching the giant earth and stone hands slowly disperse before him, and the purplish-black liquid within, Aiven slowly stood up and brushed the dirt off his hands.
Looking up at the other Octopus Head gradually floating away in the sky, he couldn’t help but cough twice, spitting out a mouthful of black sticky fluid.
"Cough, cough... Ptooey!"
Although sacrificing three Spiritual Seagulls transferred much of the opponent’s magical damage, having previously fought a major battle with four demons and now exerting himself to kill this inexplicable Octopus Head,
Aiven was almost at his limit.
Even if the other Octopus Head had stayed to fight together, under his wide-range attack, the result would have been no exception.
But now, he really didn’t have the strength to pursue that escaping guy anymore; he could only hope for the next world change to happen soon, so these seemingly organized ugly creatures could never find him again.
Just as Aiven turned to return to rest under the "Life Tree," a dazzling flash not far away made him stop abruptly.
Huff!
Due to the location, Mousani, the Deceitful Dream Cultist, didn’t circle back to the Mushroom Forest but instead fled hastily towards the nearby Pyramid Forest at full speed.
Under the well-known rules of the Spirit Realm, it is rare for two Extraordinary’s beacon anchor grounds to closely adhere to each other, especially just after the world has completed an Evil Ghost shift.
So when they first discovered Aiven’s figure, they had already instinctively ignored the possibility that there might also be an owner on another plot with a style vastly different from the mushroom forest.
Just as this survivor escaped into the forest void, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
Sssss——
"Ugh..."
A brilliant golden flash suddenly shot out from the forest beneath, the overwhelming positive energy pierced through him. Without even a blink of reaction ti, the final Octopus Head Mousani had already turned into ashes and slowly scattered down.
And it was exactly this flash of light that stopped Aiven in his tracks.
He had realized that after several months, his neighbor had finally descended with him once again.
Indeed.
Monts later, a luminous petite figure stood at the edge of the jungle, gazing across at the location where Aiven was. Clearly, her exploration progress was much faster than Aiven’s, having almost completed the exploration of her own beacon anchor ground.
Suddenly, as if she rembered sothing.
The girl took out a green gemstone and held it up to her shoulder, where a kingfisher carved as if from erald took it in one bite, crunching and swallowing it.
It is not hard to guess that the attack that killed the Octopus Head just now likely ca from this seemingly priceless kingfisher.
Even though it was the second ti seeing this luminous girl, Aiven still felt a genuine sense of awe, and given the closer distance, he could see more clearly this ti.
The petite body exuded an otherwise gemstone-like transparent glow from within.
The sapphire flower in her hair cast a soft glow that veiled her appearance, only slightly revealing a jade-like chin and small pink lips pursed.
Wearing a fiery red dress that even in this world rich with imagery held an unparalleled presence.
The athyst necklace, jade bracelet, crystal high heels... a full set of "soul armor" shimring with dazzling spiritual light.
If Aiven was a black-and-white sketch, she was already a vivid 3D character in a girl’s animation, and definitely the main character!
As Aiven observed the luminous girl, the other was clearly observing him as well.
Ignoring the cheap "soul armor," though his appearance looked very simple, just a vaguely humanoid white light quality, only the pair of eyes emitting erald green light left a deep impression.
Yet the transparent and clean pure color indicated his ntal state was normal, unpolluted and without any extre emotions.
Moreover, the physique was distinctly larger and stronger than an ordinary person, demonstrating that he was also a powerful or influential figure in the Material World.
In any case, in this world where one couldn’t hide oneself, such an outward-spiritual state undoubtedly counts as a character with a baseline positive stance.
’You’ve been joined to my ’Chichen Itza Pyramid’ through nurous world shifts, I wonder what secrets you hold...’
Their paths were evidently different, yet a high-level mysterious connection tightly bound their beacon anchor grounds together.
Clearly, not only was Aiven curious about this, but the luminous girl was as well.
Flap flap flap——
This mont was finally when Aiven got the chance to release a White Seagull, attaching a strand of his spirit to it, deliberately slowing its flight to gently land before the luminous girl to prevent any misunderstandings.
Even at a distance covering ten ters, he had already transford into another image of Aiven with wings sprouted from his back, using the common language of the Spirit Realm, Jatata Language, to thank her:
"Hello! Thank you for handling this intruder for ."
The luminous girl slightly tilted her head, evidently directing her attention to this doppelganger and slowly speaking with a slight coldness and a touch of arrogance:
"There’s no need for politeness, I thought you were being ambushed by two ’Deceitful Dream Cultists’, perhaps going to be captured today.
Unexpectedly, your strength is decent, and you are indeed qualified to be my neighbor in the Spirit Realm.
You may know my na—Moonstone."
Though sensing a hint of aloof arrogance in this neighbor’s tone, possibly challenging to get along with, since she helped solve a huge hassle, Aiven didn’t hover too much on it:
"Hello! My na is Red Fir, nice to et you."
In the Magic System society characterized by Wizards, the significance of one’s na needs no more to be elaborated.
Originally, to hide their real nas, dealing with specific ritual needs, providing themselves symbolic guidance and an implicit blessing, Official Wizards would usually have their own Wizard’s Na.
It’s optimal to choose ancient languages that they could understand, such as "Light of Eternal Day," "Calm Heart," "I Will Maintain Balance," "Endurance"... and so on.
Besides the aforentioned uses, to so extent, these also represent their own cultivation philosophy and life motto.
For so powerful Upper-Rank Wizards, they could even cast curses onto their Wizard’s Na, allowing anyone who ntions this na to be perceived by them.
However, along with the progression of tis and pressure from the True God Church, the scope for naming a Wizard’s Na now is vastly extended, becoming more obscure and symbolic, to outsiders sounding almost like nicknas.
As an Official Wizard, Aiven naturally wouldn’t be an exception, only that in reality, there were hardly any wizard peers who needed to hide their true nas for social interaction, having never used it before.
After exchanging nas for the first ti, the two people had deepened their understanding of each other.
With a quick glance at each other, they had already swiftly tagged the other in their minds.
"Moonstone? Represents sacredness, abundance, travelers, and Spiritual purification!"
"Red Fir? Represents luck, rebirth, strength, and the righteousness of protection!"
