Druid’s Marvel Travels

Chapter 165 The Balance Between Life and Death

As a druid, Oakes is extremely sensitive to the breath of life.

On the contrary, he is equally sensitive to the breath of death that is opposite to life.

In Hull's Underworld before, Oaks felt very bad.

It is full of energy that has a special effect on the soul, that is, dead energy.

And now, in this space, in this special space connecting Alfheim with the strongest breath of life and nature, there is actually a strong sense of death? !

"What's happening here……"

Oakes looked at the trees around him, and the trees here showed obvious characteristics——

While possessing the powerful vitality accumulated over a long period of time, it also possesses a strange breath of death.

Oakes was shocked by the strange phenomenon of life and death intertwined.

"The balance between life and death... Drust? How is this possible..."

Druid's way of natural balance begins with the balance between the individual and nature, and further develops to the balance between nature and the universe.

But just like the intertwining of light and shadow, life and death can never escape each other and exist independently.

Only life leads to death, and death leads to life.

In the concept of the druid way, the life of all things is interlocking, as in the most famous healing ability.

Even the newest druids know that healing energy cannot be born out of thin air, and restoring vitality requires a price——

Nature must be asked to sacrifice a part of their life to the object to be healed.

So although the power of nature is everywhere, it is not necessarily applicable to healing spells——

For example, in Hull's Underworld, Oakes' healing spells cannot be blessed by the power of nature from there.

And if you cast balance spells such as storm and thunder, there is no hindrance.

But there is a different kind of fallen druid ability, they don't pay attention to the balance between the individual and nature, nature and the universe.

What they study is the balance between life and death, which are completely opposite but closely related concepts.

They do not return to nature like traditional druids, but actively participate in battles and killings.

Originally, the way of balancing life and death is also a special branch of druids, they are called "thorn whisperers".

However, with the expansion of the war, the druid spells that were originally used to maintain the balance between life and death began to be abused, and gradually became a tool for creating death and destroying enemies.

In the battle of constant contact with death, the fallen Drust thornspeakers comprehended and strengthened their death spells, and went to the extreme of using living sacrifices and human animals.

They cut open the hearts and organs of captives for their dark magic, they study the witchcraft of the soul and death, how to torture the body and soul of the enemy, how to amplify the fear of the enemy, how to use the curse to deprive the enemy's soul and control their minds. Body.

A series of evil and bloody dark rituals such as "sacrifice", "torture", and "soul extraction" that would never appear in the Druid tradition of pursuing natural balance are commonplace here.

Until the inheritance of the orthodox Thorn Whisperer was lost, Drust became synonymous with the fallen druid who claimed to control the balance of life and death.

And this special space, the balance of life and death in it, made Oakes have to think of this degenerate "colleague".

"But... the breath of death obviously comes from Hel's Underworld. That is to say, in addition to being connected to Alfheim, it also has a space channel with Hel's Underworld."

Oakes took a deep breath and proceeded cautiously.

This is only the outermost area. Since the breath of Hull's underworld has reached a balance with the breath of life here, it means that its space channel is not in the center.

So what's in the center?

The dark sky, the perennial fog, the silent forest, this space is full of weirdness.

Oakes reached out to touch the towering trees around him, and felt their breath carefully:

"The trees here all have a history of at least seven or eight thousand years..."

This means that the existence time of this space even exceeds this time scale.

"Unbelievable...huh?"

"boom!"

Oakes' wild instinct made him dodge a silent attack subconsciously!

"what is that!"

Oakes stared dumbfounded at a huge rock that had suddenly appeared where he had just been.

No, that's not a rock, it's like... a fist? !

The huge rock fist was raised again, and it slammed towards Oaks!

"Boom..."

"Damn it!"

Oakes dodged the attack again, this time he finally saw the attacker who was hiding behind the dense forest just now—

It was a human figure made of rocks!

The body of the rock was faintly flowing with the unique death energy of Hull's underworld, but Oakes could sense that there was a roaring soul inside it!

"Construct?!"

This kind of structure entwined with the breath of death is Drust's specialty——

They use soul and death magic to stuff the souls of the living into structures made of stone or bones, as their sharp weapons for fighting and killing.

"Is there really a Drust heritage here?"

Oakes transformed into a huge Starlight Bear in an instant, and slapped this large structure into the air with a single slap.

And just when he was about to further dismantle it and study it completely, he stopped suddenly.

"How can this be……"

Oakes muttered to himself.

When he first entered here, he did perceive an aura similar to that of the wilderness demigod.

However, this breath seems to be different from that of Durrasol.

As a metaphor, it is roughly equivalent to the difference between the trunk and the branches, the magnitude difference is too much.

But now, he sensed another familiar aura——

The energy that gave him the "spiritual form" back then, the magical energy he felt in the west of Stonehenge in London!

Here, there is also a space channel with the earth!

This space connects Alfheim, Helheim and the earth at the same time? !

In other words, the three boundaries of this space are simultaneously superimposed on the spaces of the three major worlds, becoming a transit point among them.

The spatial structure of "World Tree" can be roughly divided into three parts.

The Upper Three Realms - Asgard (Aesir Protoss), Vanaheim (Waner Protoss), Yalfheim (Light Elves).

Middle Three Realms - Earth (Midgard), Nidawi (Dwarves), Jotunheim (Frost Giants).

The Lower Three Realms - Svatarfheim (Dark Elf), Hell Underworld (Realm of the Dead), Muspelheim (Fire Kingdom).

It is not impossible to say that there is an independent space superimposed on the boundaries of the upper, middle and lower worlds at the same time.

But Oakes came from another boss——

From Gu Yi, the supreme mage, I learned the place where he sensed this energy, and the name in the legend——

Avalon, also known as "the ideal town of independence from the world"!

The holy place of Celtic mythology, the center of belief in the ancient Druid religion!
