Chapter 230 Gift

Consciousness, hardening.

Thinking, frozen.

Spirit, crystallization.

Then, Annan regained his energy, regained his thinking, and activated his consciousness.

Annan found himself turned into a stone.

His body completely lost its outline, he had no form, and became a large, uneven stone more than two meters high.

He didn't know what was going on, but it was just like this.

He seemed to have absorbed the black things that fell from the thing above the academy. It could also be said that the black things were integrated into his body.

This is a process that cannot be reversed or resisted, we can only accept it.

Because this is fate.

"It's destiny."

The next second, Annan returned to normal.

He took back his human form and felt the outside world again. Just like the previous complete changes, he came and went in a hurry, everything happened silently and then ended.

"The clothes are not torn? So, what's going on? What happened to me just now?"

Annan turned and looked at the giant gatekeeper who had been standing still.

"You have turned into a stone, or in other words, your entire body has crystallized." The gatekeeper responded succinctly.

"Then it resumed?"

"You should know your own body better than anyone else."

"That's right."

Annan raised his left hand.

As his thoughts moved, dense, rough black crystals appeared one after another on his forearm.

He bent his right index finger and tapped the black crystals on his skin.

Giggle.

"It's very hard, although the sound sounds crunchy."

"Is this the gift that thing gave you?"

The gatekeeper's seemingly vicious eyes stared intently at the rough and dull crystal on Annan's arm.

"That's right. It was this way of giving gifts that almost killed me."

Annan dispersed the black crystals on his arms.

Now, he can manifest these hard crystals in any part of his body anytime, anywhere without consuming magic power, because these crystals have become a part of him.

As for the degree of defense, actual testing will be needed to understand later.

"The gift of that thing is very cruel. If I don't succeed in maintaining myself, I will really turn into a stone, a black crystal. It feels more like that thing is swallowing me."

"In terms of consequentialism, you successfully swallowed the black stuff, so that's okay."

The gatekeeper raised his head and glanced at the top of the academy where Annan did not dare to look.

"The unknown thing didn't make any movement and didn't look over here. Speaking of which, in your opinion, does that thing have eyes?"

"Maybe not?"

Annan didn't look at that thing carefully. After all, he was timid and only took a quick look at it.

"If I had to describe it, it would be an eyeless, blind crystal dragon?"

"Really? In your eyes, it looks like this."

The gatekeeper stopped looking at the thing above.

When his neck hung down, he gently patted his left arm with his right hand.

Annan keenly noticed that something seemed to be slapped off the gatekeeper's left arm, and then it disappeared immediately.

"Gatekeeper, what about you? What does that thing look like to you?"

"I won't tell you."

Hearing this answer, Annan was a little surprised.

"It's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that other people's impressions and feelings will have a subconscious impact no matter what.

If I tell you the shape I saw, the shape of the thing you see later may change accordingly, which may not be a good thing.

What you see now is a blind crystal dragon, which is fine. There is no need to change your thoughts and concepts to maintain this impression. "

Annan nodded thoughtfully after listening to the gatekeeper's explanation.

"So that thing is a type of thing that can be wrong at first thought? Will it change based on the observer's impression?"

"I would advise you not to think wildly and remember to maintain the current stereotype of relative safety." The gatekeeper reminded again.

"Well, I won't be bored enough to look at that thing anyway. Although, that thing seems to have noticed me."

Annan's feeling about the thing above the college has never changed. It is an absolute life-threatening level. At this stage, he has no reason to have further contact with it.

"Annan, your current physical change is just an extra layer of crystalline protective shell?"

Annan answered the gatekeeper's question indifferently.

"Is there anything else, should I say it's a gift? My magic power has doubled."

Annan didn't know whether he absorbed or swallowed the black thing, but he immediately instinctively understood his own changes.

In addition to the crystals that can appear anytime and anywhere, another change he has made is that the magic power in his body has greatly increased.

Originally he could only be considered to have average magic power, but now he can almost be considered to have superior magic power.

"The upper limit of magic power is permanently increased. I understand. So, have the properties of magic power changed? Has the nature changed?" The gatekeeper continued to ask.

"should not?"

Annan felt the magic power in his body for a moment.

His magic power is still the same, mediocre and without attributes.

"Gatekeeper, tell me, will my magic power change in the future?"

"I'm not sure, it might be, just be careful."

The gatekeeper seemed to have no other questions and no more points to make.

He then said it was time to leave.

"See you next time."

Annan stared at the tall gatekeeper.

However, even if he watched for a moment, he still didn't notice how the other party left.

When his consciousness came to his senses, the gatekeeper's huge body disappeared.

"In a different dimension..."

Annan no longer stayed at the college.

What he gained today was enough, much more than expected.

He had never expected that he would be able to gain such power that he could use it immediately.

Although he can't be considered a frequent visitor to the academy, he has visited the academy a certain number of times, but he has never triggered the reaction of the so-called Earthbound Spirit in the academy before.

Annan didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, but one thing he was sure of was that he had indeed become a little stronger.

After returning to reality, Annan did not rest like this. He went to the magic workshop on the other side of the villa-style house.

Annan has some additional testing to do.

"These crystal protective shells, or crystal dragon scales, feel no different when used in reality than in the real world. They are all sent out according to thoughts without any hindrance."

Annan covered his entire left arm with dark, dim crystals.

When covered with these crystal dragon scales, his arms felt nothing special, as if these crystals were part of his body.

He moved his arms, a little awkwardly.

"However, the defense is sufficient."

Annan shot him in the left arm.

when!

Bullets fired at close range were bounced off by the crystallized dragon scales.

There was only a shallow mark left on the crystalline protective layer, which was about a finger thick.

"It's enough to protect against ordinary bullets, and it should be able to barely block even the more powerful ones. Is it a good portable bulletproof vest?"

Annan continued the experiment enthusiastically.
