Chapter 2098: Respect the importance of life, even vegetation will die
"Masters Boom and Christine should be very accustomed to practicing in illusions. After all, they are both magicians, and the magician's method of training is the most mysterious and unpredictable."
"But for me, not being able to stay awake is the greatest shame. Since I am determined to become a 'defender', how can I help my companions if I faint first?"
"And, judging from the current situation, I should be considered to have temporarily lost the ability to resist. Wait, since I can't do anything, there is no need to waste my spiritual power in vain."
In order to prevent the World Tree seedlings from being swallowed by the World Tree tattoo on his back, Perseus was forced to consume a large amount of wood psychic power, eventually causing himself to fall into a coma.
This was not because Perseus was not strong enough, but rather a situation that he had not expected at all. Now that he was in a dream, he could neither use the power of wood spiritual energy nor ask for help from his companions.
However, Perseus did not show a trace of panic. He had been living in this situation for more than a hundred years, so he had naturally expected this situation.
Stick to your true nature and not be disturbed by the outside world. This is the advice given by Christine, and it is the most effective countermeasure.
Therefore, Perseus did not rush to activate even a little bit of wood psychic power, or in other words, he prioritized staying calm no matter what situation he fell into.
But in the dream, Perseus turned into a weed, a weed that can be seen everywhere in this world, nothing more than ordinary.
Swaying in the wind, hanging his head in the heavy rain, drying up in the scorching sun, and melting in the ice and snow. Perseus completely lost the sense of time, but he could still maintain a trace of consciousness and not be completely dominated by dreams.
From the initial attempt, to accepting the reality, to finally looking at the surrounding environment from the perspective of a weed, Perseus' heartbeat became slower and slower until it completely stopped.
Every plant and tree seems to be dead. They can neither speak nor resist anything. Plants and trees are also alive. They will grow or wither as the seasons change. They will break out of the ground after heavy rains and survive frost and snow.
Hibernating.
Perseus stared at everything around him, the vibrant spring, the unbearably hot summer, the fallen leaves in autumn, and the snowy winter.
In the end, he suddenly realized that everything he had ever thought was wrong. It turned out that he was the clown and the most ridiculous guy.
Those driven by natural spiritual power cannot yet control flowers, plants and trees, so they can only support the World Tree with the most pious attitude, so as to achieve mutual success.
The power of wood psychic energy is essentially a side branch of the natural psychic power, and it is impossible to control every plant and tree.
This has long been established in the ancient magic era, but Perseus never knew it. Natural spells are not very lethal, but they can be cast for a long time and have amazing resilience.
Wood spells, on the other hand, are even more extreme. This is because wood spells focus more on defense rather than creating a desperate scene of destruction.
It can be said that Perseus has gone astray since he was able to transform into human form. First, he blindly followed Rikka for many years, and then traveled around the world, having no time to calm down and examine himself.
Later, Perseus suffered from psychic disorders one after another, the Third Holy War, the rise of the City of Light, and the necropolis of Philecht Nalantis remained standing.
He has long lost his original intention, and even if he finds the original power, he is not worthy of being called a user of wood-type psychic power.
Just because in Perseus's eyes, he only needs to follow the footsteps of his companions, he only needs to obey the orders of his master Rikka, and he doesn't have to think about any problems on his own.
It wasn't until his companions decided to start a plane journey one day in the future, and until his good friend Hastur decided to go one step further, that he also came up with the idea of starting a third plane journey.
Foolishness and loyalty are due to his character. On weekdays, it can be said that he cooperates with his companions to the maximum extent, but this is not conducive to his own growth.
But fortunately, he is not a fool. Compared with his rough appearance, there is a delicate heart hidden under his muscles.
Therefore, no matter what he looked like in the dream, no matter how much time passed, whether it was a second or decades, Perseus never used a single ounce of wood spiritual power and allowed himself to wither again and again in the form of weeds.
, breaking out of the ground again and again.
There was no hatred at all, but on the contrary, Perseus also felt endless regret and guilt. Although life was long, it was not good to waste more than a hundred years before truly transforming into an ancient ferocious beast.
Originally, as a relic, he lagged behind his companions. In addition, he suffered from psychic disorder in his early years and had no time to care about his own growth.
Perhaps this is what the world calls "foolish people are blessed". Perseus, who should have been well prepared, finally fell into a dream because of the World Tree tattoo on his back.
But it is precisely because of this that after Perseus transformed into a weed, he began to examine his shortcomings. In the end, under such a coincidence, he suddenly realized that he was truly worthy of the power of wood spiritual power.
The name of the driver.
Peace, that is not the reason for Perseus not to take action anymore, but the transformation of his state of mind. With every breath, wisps of wood spiritual power surge out, and become more and more intense.
I don’t know how many vegetations I have witnessed with my own eyes, and how many flowers I have watched at close range. Perseus, who turned into a weed, trembled slightly. This was not because of fear of death, but out of respect for life.
As the last veins withered and turned yellow, Perseus also "fainted" again. His consciousness was like a swallow returning to its nest. When he opened his eyes again, he had already returned to the living world and returned to the human form again.
A sigh echoed in the Sea Wind Forest for a long time. Perseus was not feeling guilty for his past stupid actions, but simply regretted that he had wasted more than a hundred years in vain.
But fortunately, he never used the power of wood spiritual energy from beginning to end, or it could be said that he simply experienced a nightmare, which did not affect the process of the third transformation journey at all.
The branches of the World Tree sapling have retracted, but the power of natural psychic energy is always floating around Perseus, constantly transforming into the power of wood-based psychic energy.
Leaning under the World Tree sapling, Perseus did not say anything, but silently reflected on his mistakes, so as not to affect the subsequent journey of transformation.
He took out the goblin pocket watch given to him by Boom in the early years to confirm how much time was wasted. However, the pocket watch could only show the flow of time in one day, which made Perseus feel even more disappointed.
Subconsciously, he turned his head to look at the corridor, but in the end he withdrew his gaze. After all, you can obey Master Rikka's orders for anything, but this last journey of transformation can only be completed by one person.
He reached out and touched the ground, but did not touch any plants. If he closed his eyes, Perseus felt as if he had returned to the hinterland of the Thorny Desert, to the desert of death.
It was a withered weed. Perseus held it in front of his eyes and stared at it for a long time. But in the end, Perseus did not intend to use the power of wood spiritual energy to save the other party, and let it disappear with the wind.
Turned into little bits of debris.
Life is also different. Although Perseus has had an epiphany, there is no reason to take action for no reason. This is what a driver of wood spiritual power should look like, always calm and calm, and never disturbed by the outside world.
