Farther away.

Thales watched indifferently as the Punishment Knight's ax blade disappeared from sight along with the dim corridor.

He was rising slowly again.

It's like losing gravity.

But this time, the prince barely maintained his sanity in the void of unknown time.

He tried his best to remember the anchor point, follow the teachings, and guard himself.

I just need to be further away.

No need to...knock on the door.

Trying his best to stay calm, he thought to himself.

Countless scenes flashed through his mind, including the ruins of the abandoned house, the humble kitchen of the Sunset Bar, the magnificent terrace of the Hall of Stars, the snowflakes flying in the birch forest, the fires in the Palace of Heroes...

Leave the Prison of Bones, or even leave the Blade Fang Camp, and stay as far away from Sak'el as possible.

Further away!

But just as he was thinking this, a strange burning sensation came from behind!

It was like someone lit a fire on his back!

Thales's face changed.

wrong.

At that moment, he was instantly out of control!

It's like waking up from a sweet dream.

The indifferent attitude towards everything disappeared, and the emotion of surprise filled the brain.

No……

In a few tenths of a second, the burning sensation became more and more intense.

It spreads from the back to the whole body, and then slowly evolves into a tearing and cutting sensation.

In that second, Thales couldn't help but twist his face and cry out in pain!

This long-lost but familiar feeling...

Could it be...

Oops.

He thought of something and felt cold inside.

Thales, who was still suffering from burning and tearing, felt his whole body become heavy, and the next second, he hit the ground hard!

"boom!"

Amidst the muffled sound, Thales ignored his sore knees and forehead. He turned over like crazy and struggled to throw off his backpack!

Damn, damn!

It's like it's a piece of red-hot charcoal.

"Damn it!"

Marina's angry voice sounded in her ears, as if she had just had close contact with the ground: "What happened!"

"Whoa, axe-ow!"

In the darkness, Quick Rope's panicked shouts came from his side.

"Eh?"

There was a whirring sound, and it sounded like the fast rope climbed up from the ground:

"Is this...the Prison River?"

Thales breathed out with difficulty and felt the burning sensation on his back slowly disappear.

But another feeling creeps up the nerves.

pain.

Prince Xingchen gritted his teeth out of breath and said:

"Yes, this is the Prison River...and I am your ferryman..."

He touched the ground and sighed inwardly.

so……

They are not out of danger yet.

"Tiles!"

When Kuaisheng heard his voice, he was overjoyed, and then became more suspicious:

"But why, why can't we watch..."

In panic, he only heard a gentle scratching sound, and a sudden beam of fire appeared in front of his eyes, causing the quick rope to subconsciously block his eyes.

In the darkness, Marina lit a small torch, cursed and got up from the ground, wiping the dust from her face: "Damn it!"

"What on earth are we..."

But her words did not continue.

The peculiar smell in her mouth and nose and the surrounding environment allowed her to identify their location.

The female swordsman in red relaxed her neck that had been strangled by the punishment knight and frowned:

"Are we...still in the Prison of Bones?"

Thales didn't reply. His face turned pale and he was trembling slightly.

Quick Rope, who had regained his vision, gently put down his hand, glanced confusedly at Marina, who was holding a torch with a blank expression, and then turned to the young man lying on the ground beside him, gasping for air, and his face darkened.

"What just happened?"

He lost his confusion, lifted Thales, who was obviously in poor condition, from the ground and let him lean against the wall:

"Where's that uncle? Also, your friend wearing a mask?"

Thales gasped hard, endured the increasingly severe pain, and squeezed out a sentence:

"This is the 'little magic' of the Alchemy Tower. You might as well understand it as the mechanism in the Prison of Bones, which can transfer you to different places..."

Marina was slightly startled.

Thales tried to force a smile.

But Quick Rope's expression lost its usual joking expression. The rookie mercenary was now squatting in front of Thales, looking at the latter quietly.

His eyes were deep and thoughtful:

"A little magic?"

The look of the fast rope reminded Thales of the other party's true identity.

"Yes, so, I just took advantage of it...ah!"

Thales couldn't speak anymore. More and more severe pain hit him from his chest, making him sweat and make his lips tremble.

Oops.

Although there is a lack of similar references for other magicians, whether it was the carriage assassination on the King's Road six years ago, the magic gun attack under the Broken Dragon Fortress, or the unexpected knock on Giza's door in Longxiao City, or Asheida

A warning before parting, these experiences have taught Thales a lesson:

In the face of a crisis, you should never resort to mysterious magical powers easily unless you have no other choice but to do so.

The burden and damage to the body caused by the "out of control" state should not be underestimated, but will gradually increase as the magnitude of the magic energy involved increases. Once it reaches the level of "knocking on the door", the consequences can even be fatal.

So Thales is very grateful to Toros.

This is the most mysterious magician he has ever encountered and the best to him.

Thanks to his generous help and patient teachings, I was able to successfully find the "anchor" and be able to stay rational (perhaps too rational) when I was "out of control". I got rid of the past that the magic power could not be controlled until it was released, and it would be out of control once it was released.

, a dangerous dilemma that is bound to knock on the door.

But even if Thales successfully avoided knocking on the door and avoided the heart-rending and heart-breaking pain of using magic energy in the past, the cost of "losing control" cannot be underestimated.

According to his recent experience with the enemy, he could stay in the magical "out of control" state for no more than a few minutes at most, before he would be awakened by sudden severe pain, interrupting his strange abilities.

But Thales knew that when he escaped from Sak'el's ax just now, what interrupted him was not the severe pain caused by the magic energy.

But...

Thales covered his chest and looked to the other side in disbelief: the backpack Marina returned to him was lying quietly on the ground, revealing a small crossbow arm.

Time Crossbow.

Legendary anti-demon force.
