Annan realized that... even if he closed his eyes again now, he could still see the whole world clearly.
Even in the dark, there is no need to carry a lamp or even open your eyes.
Because after officially awakening to the Fifth Light, Annan no longer needs to use his eyes to receive external light. The power of the elements has fundamentally transformed his soul, although he has not yet reached the golden level.
Annan could feel that his soul now was like liquid light.
There is no difference in color.
Just like [Oil of Glory].
If the "skin bag" he is using now is not too solid and closed, like an airtight box, I am afraid that Bernardino's eyes will continue to flow out with pure brilliance.
If one looked directly at him at this moment, the power alone would burn the eyes of the person looking at him.
But obviously, the apprentices around him didn't realize what was happening.
"How do you feel? Have you gained the ability to 'control spiritual bodies'?"
Someone asked hurriedly.
Under the illumination of the light, the backlit figures look like pitch-black demons with snarling teeth and claws.
Annan sighed silently.
They did not realize what happened to Bernardino at all. And they did not think that Bernardino would bring any crisis to them.
With this level of acumen... it's no wonder that they can only pursue this kind of dangerous experiment and try to find a breakthrough. Because they are probably among the losers who are about to be eliminated in the Wizard Tower.
Annan could only close his eyes and lean back on the chair.
He said calmly: "Indeed, I got it."
The apprentices suddenly became excited.
The leader immediately stepped forward, held Bernardino's shoulders, and said quickly: "Then show me quickly! Oh, yes, there is a sea beast's soul in front of you, and you are now inside your body.
With the blood of sea beasts flowing, it should be far less difficult to control the souls of sea beasts than to control the souls of people. At the very least... uh... uh... um..."
The man kept talking, and Annan sighed slightly.
As expected by Annan...he immediately lost control of his body and began to watch CG. In other words, Bernardino had begun to control the body again to show Annan what happened at that time.
As Bernardino suddenly opened his eyes filled with blood and tears, the dark hatred surging in his body suddenly surged out.
I saw all the wizard apprentices in the room suddenly showing expressions of pain.
They covered their faces and screamed in agony.
But all this struggle is pointless.
Annan could clearly see...the souls of these apprentices quickly separated from their bodies.
It's not like passing through a wall and flying directly out of the body.
It was like using a sausage machine to crush the meat into puree... Those souls were crushed into toothpaste-like shapes, mixed with blood, and continuously flowed out of their eyes, ears, mouths and noses, and were easily sucked by Bernardino.
into the body.
Bernardino's vision could not see the position of the physical body at all, but he could see the color of the soul.
Annan also realized this.
The popular saying that "mortals have no souls" in the concept of extraordinary beings is actually not accurate enough.
The correct statement is that the mortal soul is so thin that it cannot even be called "smoke". It is extremely thin smoke, just a phantom light with "color".
But on the other hand, it can also be thought that mortals actually have souls...but they cannot be detected, extracted, targeted, or exploited.
Only through the soul vision gained by Bernardino can their true shape be seen!
They look like stick figures of different colors.
The middle was blank, but the edges had clear outlines. After Bernardino sucked away a little bit of the spirit body, he could no longer resist the suction... and the rest of the spirit body quickly leaked out. The entire "
The dim light emitted by the "human form" also went out.
Like a punctured water balloon.
The moment their souls were damaged, these mortals were already dead.
...This is probably why mortals sometimes die suddenly in nightmares.
The only one who is still struggling... is the "experiment controller" who has advanced to become an official wizard.
He is the only one with a smoky soul.
It was a dark blue smoke mixed with a small amount of light blue and purple halos. It was thickest at the cervical spine, like a human head, and then upward to the brain, there was a small amount of halo, forming a shape similar to a crown.
Down to the left and right sides of the liver...it has no legs and looks like an upside-down bamboo shoot.
And its arms have just spread to the shoulders. Beyond that are two transparent clouds, just like the ligaments in a crab's claws.
It looks like some kind of Pokémon.
If it develops further and reaches the limit of bronze level, maybe it can expand to the whole body.
"What a...beautiful thing."
Annan murmured.
Looking from Bernardino's perspective, it is as bright as a nebula.
Annan understood more and more why Bernardino had embarked on the path of a spiritual monk after leaving the "way of sculpture"... and why he could possess the element of the soul.
Because this can indeed be called a work of art.
It is a perfect sculpture without any processing.
The souls of different people have different colors and shapes, which are different from the cognition seen through rituals. The souls of many extraordinary people seen in the soul vision are basically the only colors in Bernardino's world.
So how could Bernardino resist collecting it?
His smoky soul was constantly being sucked out by Bernardino, but even though nearly a third of it was sucked out, the man still had the ability to resist.
A deep red light was seen in his pupils.
[Consciousness Capture: Killing Intent]
But when he scanned Bernardino, he was suddenly stunned: "Wha, what..."
Because he didn't see the murderous intention at all.
It was precisely because of this moment of distraction that the young wizard was no longer able to resist Bernardino's sucking. His spirit was directly sucked out of his eyes, ears, mouth and nose by Bernardino, and his body collapsed backwards.
After circling around inside Bernardino's body, his spirit body was released by Bernardino again.
But when it re-entered its original body, it was already half its size and had withered.
That was not swallowed by Bernardino.
It's the part that escapes in the air.
The soul in the smoke state still cannot exist in the outside world for a long time. The distance of less than two meters is lost by more than half every time. But it is better than those that only have a few particles left when they fall into Bernardino's hands.
Be better.
As for that spirit body, in addition to its original dark blue halo... it was also wrapped in a layer of pitch black spider web.
That is exactly the kind of "gloomy and moist power" that belongs to Bernardino.
It is exactly the same color as the mud when Bernardino awakened his elements.
Spiritual bodies sunk in Bernardino's elemental swamp will be directly swallowed and polluted by him.
It's just that this ability is still very shallow now. It can only bind a shallow layer outside the spirit body like a spider web. It is not deep or tight. If other soul-stealing wizards are aware of it, they may be able to easily
Remove its interference.
But this immature strength is enough to deal with weak wizards who are equally immature.
When the "apprentice leader" slowly opened his eyes from the ground, there was no longer a panicked look on his face.
He suddenly turned over from the ground and his expression turned cold.
The next moment, he and Bernardino stretched out their right hands at the same time and put them in front of themselves. They turned their right hands in an unusually synchronized manner, clenched their fists in sync with each other and punched forward with all their strength.
Then, they sneered at the same time.
After Bernardino put down his right hand, the man opposite him did not put it down.
Bernardino left his chair and walked over to the man sitting on the floor.
He stretched out his right hand and touched the man's hand twice, but failed to hold the other person's hand. The third time, Bernardino finally mastered the operation skills, stretched out his hand, and touched the man's right hand.
Hold them together firmly.
Then, Bernardino used force to pull his "other self" up from the ground.
And the apprentices stood up one by one, like zombies.
Next, Bernardino needs them to go to a quiet place to die, at least the cause of death cannot involve himself. This is difficult, especially in the wizard's tower... but he must do it.
"How ridiculous."
Bernardino murmured under his breath: "Is this my destiny?"
There was a surge of hatred in his words: "I... hate this sad fate."
As this CG ended, Annan finally regained control of his body.
...but so far, this nightmare is still not over.
Even Annan's side mission has not been completed.
Annan was not surprised at all.
Because everything up to this point was within Annan's expectations.
The light burning in his heart told him everything.
Annan said leisurely to the other spirit body he controlled, which was theoretically impossible to respond to him: "Okay, when are you going to let me out? I should have finished reading all the things you want me to see...
.
"Sir Hugo."
As Annan finished speaking.
The body opposite him that was supposed to be controlled by Bernardino suddenly spoke after a few seconds of silence: "When did you find out?"
"What did you find?"
Annan asked in a low voice.
"Finding out that this was also a dream?"
The young wizard's voice gradually mixed with Hugo's voice.
As Hugo's voice rumbled as if from outside the world, the world around him gradually peeled off again.
