Chapter 301: Power of Runes

Before he finished speaking, Ron's figure disappeared in an instant and came to the sturdy man.

"This is."

He lowered his head and gently touched the inky black crystal ball with his fingers.

Instantly

A ray of black and red energy slowly floated out of the crystal ball like an evil poisonous snake.

It first swam along the sturdy man's body, and then suddenly raised its head as if it had discovered some rare treasure, and flew towards Ron with a whoosh.

Ron did not make any movements, but let the energy slowly wrap around his index finger and keep swimming around his fingertips.

Feeling the familiar energy fluctuations, Ron's pupils shrank slightly, and he said in his heart:

"Yes, it is indeed the power of the original succubus."

The terrible race of the original succubus was once extremely glorious.

At the beginning of the creation of Io, they were the first batch of abyss creatures, and even briefly occupied the throne of the king of the abyss.

(Later, they were defeated by the [Barenoros] demon clan, and then a demon clan named [Obyris], led by the [Queen of Chaos], split from the [Barenoros] demon clan and became the new king of the abyss. The reign of the [Tana'ri] demon clan, the most powerful in the Abyss, was far later than these.)

It's a pity that the original succubus is a race that likes civil war more than humans.

Due to their nature, after experiencing endless years.

The original succubus clan, which had endured to the limit, took the accidental death of the [former succubus king] as an opportunity, and finally set off a huge war that swept across the multiverse to compete for the position of the [succubus king].

The final winner is unquestionable.

Mecanthut ascended the supreme throne and became the new [succubus queen].

The first thing she did after taking office was not to quell the war, but to send troops to frantically hunt down the remaining original succubi in the astral world.

The succubus queen knew that each of her harmonious and beautiful "sisters" was eyeing her throne.

They openly expressed their most loyal blessings to the succubus king, but secretly they were all waiting for the day when they could ascend to the highest throne.

If one day, Mecanxute fell into weakness.

They would rush up like a pack of wolves without hesitation, tearing her skin, sucking her blood, and eating her flesh.

In fact, there was no possibility of reconciliation between them and the succubus queen, Mecanxute, because it was an instinct derived from blood.

The cruel succubus queen chose a more ruthless decision - extermination!

The succubus queen's pursuit of the original succubus clan lasted for three centuries before it stopped.

It was not that Mecanxute was soft-hearted, but that there was no second original succubus in the entire star realm.

She stopped hunting until the original succubus race was completely extinct in the star realm.

Ron played with the power of the original succubus in his palm, but his eyes gradually became cold.

Because of this ancient succubus war, the original succubus race can be regarded as extinct.

At present, the original succubus known to the whole star world is afraid that there is no second one except the succubus queen Meikanxiute in the bottomless abyss.

So the owner of this energy is naturally self-evident.

"Mekanxiute, it's been a long time since I saw you."

Ron muttered as he looked at the pure black and red energy in his palm.

If there is any god on Ron's must-kill list in this world, it must be the succubus queen Meikanxiute who almost pierced Ron's heart with a whip in the fire elemental plane.

It's never too late for a true dragon to take revenge.

But Ron can't wait that long.

Although he looks lazy on weekdays, he will never be soft-hearted when it comes to revenge on his enemies.

Ron put away the power of the original succubus, looked at the sturdy man beside him, and said expressionlessly:

"Where did you get this thing?"

While speaking, Ron was still playing with the crystal ball that changed from black to transparent.

The next second

An invisible pressure was instantly exerted on the three people.

The half-god dragon's power pressed the three people's bones to crackle, and everyone's eyes showed extreme pain, as if all the bones in the body would be broken in the next second.

Seeing the dense beads of sweat on the sturdy man's head and his still body.

Ron slapped his head:

"Ah, I almost forgot, you can't speak now."

Only then did he react that the other party seemed to be still in his time stop.

"Snap!"

Another snap of the fingers unlocked the sturdy man's time stop state, and the latter instantly fell to the ground as if he was exhausted.

"Ho-ho-"

He breathed in the turbid air in big mouthfuls, like a fish jumping out of the water.

No. 1 had never felt death so close to him. Just now, he felt that he was about to be crushed by the terrifying dragon's might.

He stood up trembling, but still felt that his legs and feet were still a little unstable, and his heartbeat was still, making him tremble all over.

Looking at Ron in front of him, the eyes of the strong man No. 1 were full of awe and fear.

The pressure just now could not be explained by a simple rank difference.

In the eyes of the man No. 1, the thin boy in front of him seemed like a giant with an infinitely magnified body, looking down at him from the sky, as if looking at a reptile.

"You have 30 seconds to tell me the ins and outs of this crystal ball."

Ron's voice was like the whisper of the devil, suddenly ringing in the ears of the strong man No. 1.

After saying that, he just counted down by himself:

"29"

Faced with the countdown of his life, No. 1 raised his head in horror, ignoring his wet crotch, and hurriedly shouted:

"This, this is not my thing, I don't know where it came from."

"28"

Ron did not respond, but continued to shout the countdown.

Seeing that Ron did not pause at all, No. 1 gritted his teeth and tried to say again:

"I, I. We just came here accidentally because we received the mission, and we have no intention of offending you, please let us go."

"27"

No. 1 stared at Ron's merciless nine-colored dragon pupils in a daze.

Until the countdown reached 20, he suddenly shuddered.

Looking at Ron's eyes, No. 1 finally understood one thing: If he didn't say it, he would really die!

The next second, he spit out everything he knew:

"This is what the bishop gave us. It's called [Divine Blessing Array]. The bishop said that as long as we maintain a certain magic input speed to transport magic into the crystal ball, our breath can be completely concealed."

"It also said"

At the fastest speed in his life, the strong man No. 1 said everything about the task of stealing [the map of the Elf Queen].

After he finished speaking, his mind was blank, and only three words echoed in his mind:

"I'm done!"

No. 1 sighed in his heart.

Even if he could escape today, he would have to face the endless pursuit of the Holy Church for the rest of his life.

You know, those bishops hate traitors.

But

Sure enough, facing No. 1's confession, Ron stopped counting.

"Who is the bishop you are talking about?"

"You have 30 seconds to answer this question."

Ron asked again expressionlessly.

And this time, it is obvious that No. 1 is not going to have any fluke mentality.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, but it will be much easier later.

Knowing that he could no longer stay in the Holy Church, No. 1 no longer had any psychological pressure, so he just gave up and said quickly:

"The bishop is"

But before No. 1 finished speaking, the boy No. 3 not far away suddenly yelled and interrupted him:

"Damn No. 1! You actually betrayed us and the bishop! Are you going to watch this beautiful world being destroyed?"

The roar of the boy No. 2 echoed in the air.

Due to the heavy pressure around him, he just said a sentence, and the blue veins on his head were prominent.

Under the interference of the deformed sound tape, the sound he shouted did not sound like a human voice, but rather like the roar of some kind of beast.

Ron frowned slightly, he turned his head and noticed the changes in the boy No. 2.

From Ron's perspective, the boy named No. 2 was a short human with a naive and simple face with a little baby fat.

But at this moment, the boy clenched his fists, and the tendons in his body were squeezed and crushed because of defying the stillness of time.

However, the pain could not stop his rage at all.

"Absolutely."

Ignoring the sound of the bones in his neck breaking, the boy turned his head and glared at the panicked No. 1 and the surprised Ron:

"We must not let you bad guys succeed in your conspiracy!"

"Shh!——"

As the voice fell, wisps of red breath also rose on his skin, like countless blood-red cola bubbles.

They floated on the boy's body surface, quickly helping him to relieve the suppression brought by Ron's magic around him.

Ron frowned and looked at the boy No. 2 who suddenly burst out with strange power.

This guy actually broke free of part of the power of [Nine Ring Magic·Time Stillness]!

When the roar of boy No. 2 echoed in the air, the whole basement seemed to tremble.

The exquisite murals on the wall shook with the anger of boy No. 2, and the dust on the ground was also lifted by his breath.

The blood-red power did not immediately attack Ron in the distance, but slowly wrapped the boy up, forming a blood-red energy embryo.

At this time, the strong man No. 1 and the woman No. 3, who were standing not far away, were all shocked beyond words by the sudden change in front of them.

"Damn it, I knew this guy was a monster, no wonder the bishop and the others valued him so much"

The strong man No. 1 couldn't help but curse in his heart.

That damn bishop actually let him take such an unstable and terrifying existence out to do the mission!

If the object of the madness was himself.

"However, if the crazy No. 2 and the boy in front of me fight each other to a draw, then I may not have no chance to escape."

No. 1 and No. 3 figured out the key instantly.

The two secretly glanced in the direction of Ron, and suddenly looked forward to it in their hearts.

"Huh?"

Ron suddenly lowered his head and looked at his heart.

Perhaps it was because he felt the strange and familiar breath, the guardian power that had been dormant in Ron's body for a long time actually began to slowly revive actively.

Light green fluorescence began to slowly appear around Ron, revealing a hint of gentle warmth.

Staring at the red blood energy ball, Ron's mouth curled up slightly:

"Interesting, it actually triggered the guardian rune, is it some kind of rune awakening?"

Ron touched his chin and quickly shook his head to deny his guess:

"No, that's not right. If it was the real rune power, he should have broken free long ago."

"Looking at this guy's appearance and energy fluctuations, it should be similar to the twelve powers that the old man in the capital (referring to Carol's father, Duke Rodney) said."

God loves the world, this sentence is definitely not a lie.

The one who best interprets the meaning of this sentence is the creator god Io.

This benevolent god-god not only created the star realm in the void with a harsh living environment, but also spent countless years to expel the original demon gods who were originally living in the void and were naturally bloodthirsty in order to protect the new creatures that had just been born in the star realm. After his death, he spread the power in his body throughout the star realm.

These powers are hidden in the body of every life, and are called [Twelve Powers] by the gods.

And in some cases of accidental mistakes, the twelve powers left over from the creation of Io in some life forms may be stimulated.

Usually, this situation occurs at an emotionally excited critical moment, or at the darkest moment of life and death crisis.

Once the activation is successful, it proves that he has obtained the gift of Io and mastered the power of twelve.

(There are countless copies of the twelve powers of Io, and there are only twelve real runes left by Io.)

This is the only divine power in the astral world that is regardless of race, identity, good or evil.

The recipient of the twelve powers will become an extremely powerful existence in the astral world.

This is the blessing of the God of Creation and the hope of all life to reverse its destined fate.

However, this power is not something that anyone can control.

It requires inner purity and firm will. Only those with a will as firm as stone can obtain the blessing of Io.

In the history of the astral world, many heroes and strong men have become legends by activating the twelve powers.

They use their own power to protect the peace of the astral world and resist the invasion of evil. Their existence gives more people hope and strength.

However, this power also has certain risks.

Using the twelve powers too greedily and unscrupulously may cause the power to get out of control and bring devastating consequences.

Therefore, those who possess this power need to be humble and self-disciplined at all times, and use it to serve the goals of justice and kindness.

In every corner of the astral world, there are those who hide the power of the twelve.

They may not know that they have this power yet, but when the clock of fate rings, they will awaken, become the guardians of the astral world, and fight for justice.

God loves the world, which is not only a story about the blessing of the creator god Io, but also a fable about the hope and power of the astral world.

Everyone has hidden abilities, showing the brightest light in the darkest moments.

This is the truth of the astral world and the belief of all beings.

"The awakening of the power of the twelve? This is the first time I have seen it."

Ron walked towards the blood-red energy ball and said frivolously.

When he was about to approach.

At the moment when he was about to approach the energy ball.

A blood-red claw suddenly appeared on his left side and swung towards his head swiftly.

"Boom!"

However, before it could touch Ron, a colorful barrier was deployed around Ron, completely blocking the blood-red claws.

[Rainbow Sphere Barrier]

As a representative of the rainbow system that can attack and defend, the protection ability of the Rainbow Sphere is no less than that of some nine-ring defense magic, and it easily blocked the energy attack from the rune power outside Ron's body.

At this time, the blood-red energy ball also began to tremble, as if it felt Ron's unstoppable power, and began to accelerate into the body of boy No. 2.

As the energy ball surrounding the body surface gradually dissipated, No. 2, who revealed a brand new body, was also exposed to the air.

Looking at the faintly visible blood-red illusory rune on the boy's forehead, Ron's eyes flashed:

"Power rune?"
