?Chapter 1247: 399. Unexpected ce_2
“`
Countless celestial bodies passed by him as white points of light, too fast for Nnd Lee to make out their specific appearance and size. He couldn’t even track a single one from the moment it appeared directly in front of him to the moment it disappeared behind him.
It was too fast, the teleportation speed was too fast, and it was a straight line, without any curves.
Nnd often saw celestial bodies emerge as specks in front of him, before rapidly growing into massive grays that hurtled toward him, their craters and mountains clearly visible on the surface.
Fortunately, teleportation through inner and outer cosmos didn’t result in physical collisions, or else Nnd would have been smashed into pulp by countlesss or devoured by the dazzling stars halfway through his journey.
After moving rapidly through the starry sky for an indefinite period, a with reddish-brownnd appeared before Nnd. <div>
...
As this appeared, the speed of teleportation decreased significantly, and Nnd guessed this was his destination.
Nndpared the appearance of this with the one he remembered.
Both were reddish-brown and pitted with craters.
However, the image of the shown by the Scroll Angel didn’t include interster ships hovering in low orbit, did it?
Nnd watched the ships that resembledrge catfish, steadily orbiting the at low altitude, asionally dropping dozens of ck metal lumps toward the ground.
Nnd’s gaze followed the plummeting metal lumps, faintly making out their appearance as some kind ofnding pods rapidly descending to ground level from low orbit.
These pods, instead of firing mes for reverse thrust to slow their descent, smashed into the reddish-brownnd, leaving ck hollows on the surface amidst loud bangs and clouds of dust.
Landing pods burrowing into the ground using gravitational potential energy? Nnd pondered silently.
Had he stumbled upon some star fleet conducting operations in the subsurface spaces of the?
Nnd squinted at the interster battleship closest to him.
He was still in the state of transport, with a considerable distance above the ground, at the same altitude as the interster ships.
Nnd wasn’t sure whether these interster ships could detect him.
If the crew of the ship saw arge, living human or an unidentified flying object pass close by their battleship, he wondered what kind of thoughts they would have…
Nnd noticed a bear head with a blood-dripping sword de stuck atop it on the outer panel of the battleship. This was probably the insignia of the fleet these interster ships belonged to.
Unfortunately.
The Scroll Angel had infused Nnd with a good deal of outer space knowledge, but it was all rted to extraordinary factors.
Ordinary, interster fleets like the one before him with no direct rtion to extraordinary elements were not on the Scroll Angel’s watchlist. Therefore, Nnd naturally couldn’t identify their origins.
“Forget it, let’snd first.”
Nnd’s gaze shifted to the reddish-brown ground, which was gradually erging before him, ready to hide himself with the ‘Veil of Different Worlds’ as soon as hended.
But…
But he went through, he went straight through the reddish-brown ground.
Nnd was clearly stunned for a moment, feeling puzzled in his heart:
“Isn’t the teleportation over yet? Could the destination coordinates set by the Scroll Angel not be on the ground?”
Nnd, in an energy state, passed through the reddish-brown soil downward, traveling a vertical distance of at least three kilometers beforeing to a stop in an underground chamber lit by faint green light.
Now, Nnd felt his condition was very odd.
He seemed to have regained control over his body, but this body was not the flesh and blood he had when he left the Inner Cosmos. Instead, it was a genuine Skeleton Frame.
This Skeleton Body was seated on a Throne made of Stone bricks, and the Throne was ced on a High tform, below which the ground was covered with gold and silver treasures, among which bones protruded from beneath the jewelry.
The faint green light that barely illuminated the Underground Space emanated from themps on the Stone Pirs.
Nnd turned his head slightly, wanting to see what was emitting the green light.
The connection between his skull and spinal column made a crackling sound, and Nnd seriously doubted whether his head would fall off the fragile vertebrae, forcing him to stop the somewhat rash movement.
There still was a problem with the teleportation…
Nnd sighed silently in his heart.
“`
The appearance of this was almost as the Scroll Angel had described, but the things on the did not match the information.
It was highly likely that Nnd Lee hadnded on a with the same reddish-brown ground.
But as for where exactly this was or what its name was, Nnd had no way of knowing for the time being.
Nnd pondered for a moment before silently chanting in his mind,
“Activate detection spell, the target is myself.”
[You are currently incapacitated. It is rmended to use Spell Blueprints in conjunction with nasal sounds to cast the sound wave detection spell ‘Sound Seeker Technique’.]
System Text coalesced in his mind, and Nnd let out a quiet sigh of relief.
He nced at the Spell Blueprint that appeared in his mind and tried to force out a light hum through the tip of his nose.
The faint nasal sound, almost imperceptible, transformed into sound waves that swiftly swept over Nnd’s entire body and then reflected back into his mind, helping Nnd toplete a simple self-detection.
[The ‘Power of Senati’ has locked your body, rendering you unable to use most of your abilities.]
[This effectsts for 13 minutes and 22 seconds. Once the countdown ends, the ‘Power of Senati’ will fade, and you will regain your mobility.]
[Meanwhile, due to the influence of the ‘Power of Senati’, you are temporarily in an ancient Skeleton Form. After the countdown, you can return to your original form through magic.]
It seemed the teleportation process had encountered extraordinary problems.
In thest few days within the Inner Cosmos, the Scroll Angel had mentioned that the cherished Ceremony arranged in cooperation with the ‘Escape Core of the ne’ would protect Nnd from the effects of ‘Gilenz’s Power’ and ‘Power of Senati’.
‘Gilenz’s Power’ would trap beings from the Inner Cosmos within it, while ‘Power of Senati’ would make the things from the Inner Cosmos undergo rapid temporal evolution upon entering the Outer Space, transforming them into specific forms.
The dark scenes he had encountered during the teleportation must have been the result of ‘Gilenz’s Power’ acting on him.
Now, having left the Inner Cosmos, ‘Gilenz’s Power’ did not hold him back, but the ‘Power of Senati’ had caused no small amount of trouble.
Fortunately, the ‘Power of Senati’ would dissipate on its own, so Nnd didn’t have to worry about being stuck indefinitely in an immobile skeleton figure.
Then he would just wait.
Once the countdown was over, he would be a living human again.
“Boom…”
Vibrations came from above, as sand and pebbles fell from the cracks in the ceiling.
“Oh, right, how could I forget about thosending pods that can burrow into the ground.”
Nnd’s heart sank slightly, realizing that the treasure-filled Basement he was in might soon attract unwee visitors.
Nnd thought to himself,
“Seek the control spells, defensive spells, detection spells, and offensive spells that can be cast in the current state.”
The ‘Heart of Magic’ was not within Nnd’s Skeleton frame but in his Soul, so there was no need to worry about strangers seeing a glowing Magic Heart inside this bony framework.
Whenever Nnd needed it, the ‘Heart of Magic’ could provide the urate answer.
[The current control spells avable for casting are ‘Foul Whispering Technique’, ‘Upside Down’, ‘Mud Ground Technique’.]
[The current defensive spells avable for casting are ‘Telekic Bone Shield’, ‘Golden Wall Silver Wall’.]
[The current detection spell avable for casting is ‘Sound Seeker Technique’.]
[The current offensive spells avable for casting are ‘Telekic Bone Sword’, ‘Treasure Shoot’.]
Nnd nodded slightly.
Although hecked Panel Information, he could still discern some tricks from these spells.
‘Power of Senati’ had just immobilized his body; his consciousness, Spirit, and telekinesis were still functional.
Nnd gathered all his strength to puff out his chest and let out a forceful hum, squeezing out arge blob of Air through his nostrils to cast the dull sound waves.
The ‘Sound Seeker Technique’ was cast once more, this time targeting the area outside the Hidden Chamber.
