Chapter 439(2/3)
Mu You recalled the process of killing three monsters before. On the first war horse, he hit a 'hook'-shaped rune, which caused an injury to the left forefoot of the war horse. Later, when fighting against a spider, he hit a 'hook'-shaped rune.
It was a vertical rune, which caused the spider to go berserk. Obviously these two runes were directly related to the two results.
However, this refers to a single rune. When different runes are connected together, they may have different meanings. The entire order rune system is like a brand new language, and now he needs to learn it without any guidance or reference.
In this case, learning this language will definitely require a lot of trying.
Mu You misses the pocket watch again. If he had the ability to look back, he could now try and make infinite mistakes to test out the meaning of these runes one by one...
Mu You shook his head. No matter what, he finally mastered how to recover from his injuries, and he would have much less worries in the future.
Moreover, for this trial only, he does not need to fully master the 'language' of order runes. He only needs to test some common killing methods, and then use these methods to kill all the way through the level.
After stepping over the corpses of the two spiders, Mu You continued to climb the three stairs.
There was a flash of light and shadow, and Mu You appeared in the passage on the third floor.
"Kaka..."
As soon as he entered the third floor, Mu You heard the sound of neat footsteps coming from the front.
Looking up, the monsters walking out of the darkness this time were three infantrymen in full armor, holding shields and halberds. However, the inside of the helmets was empty and had no entity at all. They were just three sets of moving 'iron armors'.
"There are indeed three on the third floor..." Mu You nodded. From this point of view, the number of monsters on each floor is equal to the corresponding number of floors.
After seeing Mu You, the three armored infantrymen immediately raised their halberds, put up their shields, took a defensive posture, and approached him step by step, all in uniform movements.
Mu You did not waste time. He held the brush tightly and rushed forward. He began to beat the three of them wildly, trying to exchange injuries for injuries and test the effect of each rune.
…
A few minutes later, all three armored men fell to the ground.
"Destroying the 'Chuan'-shaped character can slow down the monster... The combination of 'Bu' and 'Hook' can make the left forelimb disabled..."
Mu You silently recited the new pattern he had just discovered, stepped forward and cut open the three armored corpses with a writing brush, took out three groups of runes from them, and spliced them onto his mutilated body.
As expected, all the injuries healed immediately after being fused with the new runes of order. However, the healed parts turned red again, and more red runes spread into his body.
Mu You simply ignored it. Even if the red rune really had any impact, he couldn't control it now. This was his only means of recovery at the moment.
After three consecutive battles, Mu You already had some ideas on how to deal with the next monsters in the tower.
However, it is not enough. He still needs more attempts and masters more rules.
Next, Mu You began to climb layer by layer.
The fourth floor...
The fifth floor...
…
All the way up, there are indeed more and more enemies, and their strength becomes stronger.
Mu You tested the rules with injuries again and again, and then used the order taken out of the monster after killing the monster to repair his physical damage.
As time went by, Mu You gradually forgot to count floors and count the number of kills. In short, whenever an enemy appeared in front of him, he would kill one.
And every time he defeats an enemy, he will master one more rule for killing the enemy.
As he masters more and more rules, it becomes easier and easier for him to kill enemies, but at the same time, the red runes of order in his body are also spreading rapidly.
Mu You instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he could no longer stop.
Before he even noticed, he had gradually fallen into the feeling of easily destroying his enemies with the pen of order.
This inconspicuous brush is more powerful than all the powers he had before. It can cut through the most solid shield effortlessly, and then destroy the order in the enemy's body.
But, it's not enough!
The speed at which he masters the rules of order is far less than the speed at which floors can be upgraded.
As the floors continue to go up, the enemies become stronger and stronger, and the resistance Mu You encounters becomes stronger, until he can no longer advance any further.
Until he entered the passage on a certain floor, Mu You could no longer count which floor he was on. In short, venomous snakes were surrounding him with their tongues spitting out.
Mu You had slaughtered the venomous snakes that were rushing towards him as quickly as possible, but he still often focused on one thing and missed the other. The venomous snakes jumped out from all tricky angles, clinging to him, biting towards him, and constantly tearing off his flesh and blood.
The pain that penetrated into the bone marrow suddenly came like a tide, and toxins entered the body. Mu You only felt that his vision was blurred and his consciousness was chaotic.
The sounds of the poisonous snakes spitting out messages around them were like a tape recorder that was out of power, and the scenery in front of them was constantly distorting and moving away.
Mu You felt that his spirit and soul had been completely separated, and the resentment and anger that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time were brought out. A picture seemed to appear in front of him. It was two years ago, on the day his parents had a car accident, he was there.
In the morgue, I saw the cold, mutilated remains of my parents...
At the same time, the poisonous snakes around him seemed to have turned into fierce ghosts, like life-threatening impermanence, constantly pestering him, laughing wildly in his ears: You will be the next one to go to hell!
"It's you who deserve to die!"
Mu You's eyes suddenly turned red, and he burst out with strength from nowhere. He reached out and grabbed a snake in front of his neck, brought it to his mouth, and took a bite.
The poisonous snake was in pain, struggled wildly, and bit him on his left eye, biting off his eyeball.
Mu You didn't notice it at all. He kneaded the bitten poisonous snake into an orderly ball and roughly stuffed it into his missing left eye. The left eye instantly returned to its original state.
Mu You immediately grabbed another one, continued to tear and bite it, and then stuffed it into the missing parts of his body...
As he continued to kill poisonous snakes and repair his body, the red order runes in Mu You's body became more and more dense, like a person who had just been fished out of a blood pool.
At some point, Mu You finally cleared away all the poisonous snakes on this floor.
However, his eyes turned red and he didn't stop at all. He went straight to the next floor with a grin.
"Not enough, not enough! I need more order!"
Rushing to the next level, Mu You rushed straight into the dense group of monsters in front and started killing them.
After the madness just now, he simply gave up the troublesome method of trying the rune rules one by one, and instead chose to directly destroy it!
Since the pen in his hand can change all the rules, he doesn't have to worry about the good and bad, destroy them all at once, and then stuff the remaining order into his body and merge it into his own power. This is the fastest way to improve!
As more and more chaotic order mixed into his body, Mu You gradually felt that he became infinitely powerful, and his every move was as fast as lightning, and those monsters became extremely slow in his eyes.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
Mu You's eyes were red and he had lost all reason. He was running through the narrow passage like a meat grinder. Not a single monster on both sides could survive a round under his hands.
"Power, more power is needed!"
"Destroy, destroy, destroy everything!"
"The power of order is destruction!"
Thick blood and desperate wails continued to burst out around him. Mu You didn't notice it, he just kept tearing the monster apart and reassembling it into a part of himself.
At this moment, the runes on his entire body were as red as blood, and a large amount of red order was still spreading deeper inside him, constantly occupying and eroding, getting closer and closer to his heart.
However, as the red order gets closer and closer to the center, the speed of spread also begins to slow down rapidly, until the small core part in the middle is finally unable to advance even an inch.
A small boat, no matter how it rocks, will never capsize.
This is an extremely weird feeling, which makes Mu You, who is in a rage, feel an indescribable awkwardness. It is like standing in front of a bungee jumping cliff. His whole body is obviously hanging in the air, but there is an inexplicable rope connected behind him.
Pull him back with all his strength, preventing him from taking that last step.
This weird feeling almost drove Mu You crazy. He tore off a lot of hair manically, roaring that he wanted to get rid of the rope, gain complete freedom, completely sink into the world of order, and experience the power that truly belongs only to the gods.
.
And as he struggled desperately, after an unknown amount of time, he finally broke free from the shackles, and the boat in the sea of blood quietly capsized.
The last white rune in the body is gradually turning red...
"Boom!"
At this moment, the back of the head was suddenly hit by something.
At this moment, the twisted illusions and lines around him, and all the chaotic sounds in his ears, disappeared in an instant.
Mu You opened his eyes in a daze and found himself sitting cross-legged on a piece of green grass. In front of him was a crucible with black smoke. A gentle breeze blew in, sending the fragrance of grass leaves and earth into his nose.
"...Concentrate, be calm, and don't be greedy for success. These are the essential qualities of a potion master... I have said something so many times, but I just can't remember it..." A familiar nagging voice came from his shoulder.
This scene was extremely familiar to him: when he was studying Potions before, whenever he made a mistake, Vivian would always peck at the back of his head like a woodpecker, saying that she wanted to crack open his elm head to see if it was stuffed inside.
What rubbish...
"Vivian?"
Mu You woke up suddenly and took a closer look.
The surroundings were dim, and all the green grass and green areas disappeared. He was still staying in that narrow corridor, with no one around him.
Mu You was a little confused, and the hostility in his body gradually dissipated. He looked down and was surprised.
At this moment, his feet were covered with dense corpses of monsters, almost bleeding like rivers.
But what is even more terrifying is himself.
Now he has long lost his human form, and his body is covered with various monster organs, such as snake heads, crab claws, fish scales, spider legs... He has completely transformed into a bloated, deformed, sarcoid-like monster with a height of five to six meters.
From the perspective of Order, his whole body was completely filled with scarlet chaotic Order runes, leaving only a small amount of purity in the deepest part of his heart.
To be continued...
