1416 Lingering Fear
When Samuel became suspicious of the six-armed Naga Rossetti, Raymond, who was sitting in front of the fireplace wrapped in a thick blanket, had a pale face. The tiny ice particles contained in his breath could make a crisp sound when they fell to the floor.
Becky, a girl who was squatting on the ground and picking up the ice particles with her fingertips to check, seemed very curious. She couldn't help but exclaimed after twisting her fingers for a long time without melting the tiny ice particles. "It really won't melt..."
Raymond, who was leaning over the fireplace, became more depressed after hearing this. After thinking about it, he took a deep breath and blew towards the blazing flames in the fireplace.
The tiny ice particles mixed in the breath blown out of Raymond's mouth went straight through the flames in the fireplace and hit the back wall of the furnace, making a crackling sound. The blazing flames could not melt these ice particles quickly, but they were almost extinguished because the temperature in the fireplace dropped suddenly!
"Oh my god! It's like an ice giant..."
The girl Becky's deliberate exclamation made Raymond's mouth twitch. He was silent for a while and found that the tiny ice particles that hit the inner side of the furnace wall melted very slowly. He couldn't help but mutter in annoyance. "Damn the level impact, it actually attracted the extreme cold air at the last moment. I was really cheated..."
After hearing this, the girl Becky put the porcelain plate in her hand aside and smiled. "Who told you to try your best when you realized that the situation was not right? Otherwise, you would just lose some potions if you quit!"
"What do you mean by losing 'some' potions? That's enough potions for me to impact the seventh-level wizard realm!"
Because Raymond never mentioned what happened in the secret room. So when she heard this, the girl Becky couldn't help but be stunned. After a moment, she asked in great surprise. "No way? With such sufficient preparations, it almost happened?"
Raymond nodded and stopped talking, staring at the gradually growing flames in front of him. His thoughts became a little erratic.
In the secret room before, the strange-shaped spiritual power crystal was originally a little strange, but he thought he was well prepared, so he didn't expect that the Phantom Festival would attract extreme cold air at the end of the third level, forcing him to rely on willpower to resist at the last moment!
Thinking of the void cold air that penetrated into the spiritual space, Raymond, wrapped in a blanket, shuddered.
The Phantom Festival is suitable for space affinity. The two spiritual power crystals piled up and condensed when impacting the third level gave him new talents and stronger strength, but he didn't expect that he would pay a huge price at the last moment.
After the two spiritual power crystals were constructed. Raymond, who was preparing to activate, was attacked by extreme cold air in vain, and this extreme cold air could actually erode the interior of the spiritual space, almost freezing him permanently in the spiritual space!
Thinking of the danger in that moment, Raymond shuddered.
Because this kind of attack that can invade the spiritual space. Generally speaking, only wizards who study spiritual skills will encounter it when they are promoted. So Raymond, who had not made any preparations in this regard, suffered a loss because of this!
At that time, his spiritual space was covered by extremely cold air, and the two spiritual power crystals that were originally operating normally stopped working instantly, which not only made his thinking ability instantly stagnant, but also made him lose control of his body and all senses!
And what he couldn't understand was that when the extremely cold air that invaded the spiritual space faded, he found that it was only a moment.
But it was this instantaneous invasion of extremely cold air. It also caused his body temperature to drop below zero in an instant, and many ice crystals were produced in his blood!
At first, he didn't care too much. But when he tried to eliminate these ice particles in his body, he found that these tiny ice particles could not be removed by ordinary methods at all, and even some special potions were useless!
The reason for this phenomenon, after he thought about it, he found some clues, but the conclusion made Raymond even more puzzled.
Because the extremely cold air that invaded his body and spiritual space was not any kind of energy he knew, but it was like a kind of existence without substance, but rather like a phenomenon contained in the "nothingness" that has been in debate!
Nothingness itself is different from everything in the material plane, and in the theoretical research of wizards, it has always been a difficult problem that cannot be debated and cannot reach a consensus.
The most popular saying at present is that "nothingness" itself is the place of "void", so it is the opposite of the "reality" of the material plane. If they collide with each other, then either annihilation will occur, or an extremely violent explosion will occur!
The void does exist, but the existence of "nothingness" is only guessed. In Raymond's previous understanding, "nothingness" is completely opposite to the material plane. It can exist around everyone, but no one can confirm the location of "nothingness"!
This is just like the 'dark matter' that Raymond had been speculating and discussing when he was in the Interstellar Alliance. It is invisible, intangible, extremely dense but extremely small!
Dark matter itself cannot be confirmed to exist because of its opposition to the material plane, but the image of dark matter, 'antimatter', has been proven to be real!
So if the 'nothingness' is regarded as dark matter itself, then the erosion of the extreme cold air he suffered can also be regarded as the invasion of antimatter by the body and spiritual space, and as a result, there are dark matter particles in his body that cannot be expelled and melted!
Therefore, if you want to expel these tiny ice particles from your body, you can only find some kind of material or resource in the material plane that is completely opposite to this extreme cold air, so that the two can offset each other and get him out of his current predicament!
Thinking of this, Raymond was shocked to realize that he had lost all sense of the surroundings, so he immediately opened his eyes, but everything in front of him was blurry, and the faint click sound gradually increased as he regained his sense of the body!
He calmed down, and as everything in front of him became clearer, the click sound around him became dense and louder, and the voice of the girl Becky came over.
"Oh my god, it turned into an ice sculpture in such a short time, it's so amazing..."
Raymond didn't react when he heard this because his mind was still a little slow, but the girl Becky who had been observing him from a distance appeared in front of him in a flash, covering her mouth and laughing.
Because it was just a moment ago, Raymond, who was lost in thought, actually released extremely low cold air to the outside, not only causing the temperature in the room to drop sharply, but also the open fire in the fireplace was quickly extinguished, and a thin layer of frost appeared on his body, and then accumulated into a layer of thin ice, making him like an ice sculpture.
"What's going on? The temperature in the room immediately dropped after you fell into deep thought, and the cold breath you released made it impossible for me to get close. What kind of ability did you have before your promotion?"
The curious girl Becky in front of him made Raymond feel worse. After glaring at her unhappily, he pulled off the blanket on his body and checked his own situation.
In just a moment, the blanket wrapped around him was frozen hard, and when it was thrown on the ground, it made a muffled thud.
The blood in his body was also severely blocked by the accumulation of many ice crystals.
His body temperature barely rose above zero degrees, and his muscles were like frostbitten, and ice particles appeared inside the bones of his limbs, but as he regained his senses and control of his body, he quickly returned to normal.
But when he retrieved the chip's monitoring data of his body, Raymond was shocked! (To be continued...)
