Chapter 1431: The Girl Supporting the Earth

The basement she was currently in was also a "Crazy Earth" of extremely small scale. The distortion characteristic of this place was that gravity was reversed. That is, after entering the basement, one had to stand on the ceiling of the basement and fight against the earth elemental giant spirits that were not affected by the Crazy Earth.

"So, why are these building materials also not affected by the Crazy Earth?" 【Because they are part of the distortion themselves.】

The voice in her ear said softly. Iluna muttered another Tobesk slang to complain about her misfortune, tried to move a few times in the dark, determined that she had no broken bones, and luckily lay in the cracks of the building waste:

"Looks like I have to dig myself out. If I had known, I should have asked Luvia to divine it in advance. Maybe I could have avoided this bad luck."

Although the house collapsed and pressed directly on the basement, the inversion of gravity still existed. Therefore, rather than saying Iluna was lying on the ground, it was better to say she was hanging upside down in the crack.

"Miracle—Echo Tracking."

Iluna closed her eyes and tapped the brick beside her hand gently. A few seconds later, the surging echo constructed a simple three-dimensional schematic of the vicinity in her mind:

"My luck isn't bad. As long as I push away this large stone slab, I can get out."

She tried to move her body, first trying to push upward, and then found that the normal posture was still pushing downward in her subconscious, which made exerting force quite inconvenient.

So, Iluna placed her hands on the real ground, and then her feet upward, kicking the large stone slab pressed above her in an upside-down posture.

Multiple miracles added the effect of enhancing power. Iluna straightened her legs in an upside-down posture. In the process of exerting force, she actually felt that she was doing a simple squat while supporting the earth. So, as the sound of fragmented bricks and stones rolling down came from above, the stone slab she was stepping on with her feet also began to move upward slowly.

This was a quite novel feeling for Iluna. She maintained an upside-down posture. Because of the reversal of gravity, it was as if she was supporting the earth, using the power of the earth to make the heavy object under her feet move:

"Is this the power of the earth?"

She didn't directly contact any supernatural power belonging to the earth at this moment, just by the action of borrowing force while standing upside down, a quite extraordinary feeling sprouted in her heart.

Supporting the earth with both hands, like the Titan giants who assisted the ancient gods in creating the world, as if supporting the entire world.

Iluna felt herself trance for a moment, and then heard the sound of digging coming from above her feet. Obviously, the teammates outside were also thinking of ways to dig herself out:

"It's good that Xia De is not here. If he saw me so embarrassed... I don't know if he has returned from Osenfort Manor. I have to confirm later whether Luvia has given me new instructions."

Both hands pressed on the flat ground, and her legs continued to support the large stone slab upward: "Miracle—Photosynthesis."

First, the light ball representing the power of the sun floated out from her chest, illuminating this narrow space. Then, pale green light appeared on the hands "supporting" the earth and spread rapidly to the surroundings.

This was a miracle Iluna learned from Miss Maria, the "Nightmare Witch," a 13th-ring sorcerer of the Church of Nature, after the Battle of Pantanal. Its essence was to absorb the power of the sun like a plant to restore the physical strength and spirit of the ring sorcerer, and it was one of the core miracles of the Church of Nature.

And this miracle, in the hands of Iluna, who was good at the power of the sun, evolved into absorbing the power of the sun and the earth at the same time after the influence of the "Balance" power, and could even promote the growth of surrounding plants.

Sure enough, with the use of the miracle, the sense of power in her body became stronger. So, grasping that subtle feeling of supporting the earth, Iluna almost completely straightened her body and stood upside down in the collapsed basement.

The imagery of "upside down" itself had important significance in occultism, not to mention that whether it was the card face of 【Everything Changes · Balance】 or the ritual of the Chosen One of Balance, it had a close connection with "upside down."

For a moment, Iluna felt she understood something, and the miracle and enlightenment elements in her soul...

... slowly enriched. She tried to connect this with the new miracle she had been trying to develop recently, but unfortunately, the accumulation was insufficient, and she had not yet fully met the points required to constitute a brand-new miracle.

At the same time, she also heard the sound of talking coming from "under her feet." Obviously, the teammates had also dug to near here. "Still very simple."

The young girl said to "She" for her own amusement. Amidst "She"'s light laughter, she suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from nearby.

In the dim light, she turned her head slightly, only to see the gravel on the ground trembling abnormally. Of course, in her current upside-down posture, this was the situation appearing "above her head":

"Earthquake again? I finally pushed it away... No, the ground is not shaking..."

Then, in Iluna's shocked expression, the green sprout bent by the stone "pushed away" the stone, and then the flower bud bloomed. In the eyes of the brown-haired girl, the blue-white small flower bloomed slowly at her ear with the naked eye.

"Randel Flower?"

At the moment the flower bud bloomed, Iluna Emilia Beias also seemed to hear the sound of new power sprouting in her heart.

(Little Mia is running...)

"Professor Danister, news came from the Church of the Sun in the city. The first Randel Flower has bloomed."

In the northern suburbs of the city, Eldron Creek, the light of the campfire illuminated the simple camp set up with miracles. The camp was close to the stream flowing in the creek. Although it was snowy weather, the water was not frozen due to the influence of geothermal heat.

After another battle ended, the 12-person team was resting.

The 12-person team was led by Miss Danister, the "Red Moon Witch," a 13th-ring sorcerer of St. Byron's Comprehensive Academy. Other personnel included two high-ring professors from St. Byron's, two 12th-ring sorcerers from the Church of Peace, and seven other mid-ring sorcerers.

The group was at one of the seven locations where the Chosen One ritual might be held, which was one of the two places Xia De hadn't been to. And although Xia De hadn't been here, it was actually very close to St. Perry Cemetery and the location where he had met the elf girl Emilia several times.

It was just because there was sparse forest and the complex terrain of the river valley creek, so it looked a bit far. Besides Miss Danister, the other four high-ring sorcerers in the team were all 12th-ring, and the remaining seven mid-ring sorcerers were not combatants but were responsible for logistics such as contacting the city and exploring the terrain.

Besides them, in the surrounding area, there were several ring sorcerer teams led by high-ring sorcerers, responsible for cleaning up those earth elemental creatures and fossil monsters that had revived due to the madness of the earth.

At this time, that round of battle had just ended. Around the camp, shattered black rocks covered the grey snow, firelight soared into the sky in the east, the skeleton of a fossil dragon lay in the thawing stream in the southeast, and Miss Danister was playing with an interesting stone found in the monster's body:

"Randel Flower bloomed? What time was it?"

She asked the 7th-ring sorceress belonging to the Church of the Sun, who had curly black hair and very white skin. The lady, who looked to be in her thirties, answered immediately:

"About half an hour ago, witnessed by the Chosen One of Balance. That flower has now been sent to the Prophecy Association. Diviners believe that although the blooming process was stimulated by supernatural power, it was the power that originally belonged to the earth, so it can be considered a natural blooming. Due to the special period, as an important witness, the blooming and withering of that flower can represent the overall health of the Randel Valley earth tonight. After the diviners finish divination, it will be sent to the Sun Church for continuous observation."

"Professor, according to the enlightenment obtained by the Chosen One of Balance, and the information shared by the witches of the Witch Council, an hour and a half after the first Randel Flower blooms, the guardian will show up."

The one speaking was not Professor Lemar or Professor Mason, whom Xia De was familiar with. The 12th-ring old woman wore a brooch in the shape of the St. Byron's school badge and held a relic that looked like a compass.

"..."

"There is still an hour."

The female sorceress casually threw away the stone she was playing with and looked up at the monster with four wings flying overhead. So, the 12th-ring female sorceress of the Church of Peace took off and chased after it. Miss Danister continued:

"There is definitely a great witch locally. The Witch Council knows too much about the Chosen One event of the earth, sometimes even more than the churches combined. They even hinted that the ancient evil spirit locally would be solved by them. If I didn't know that this group of women doesn't like to contact men, I would even suspect..."

She looked around. Most of the people in the camp were busy with their hands, and only Professor Anna Bell of the Academy of Astronomy was listening to her for the time being.

"I even suspect whether the Witch Council has found that 'God Caller' to help. I can hardly imagine what kind of reward they would pay to the God Caller... Themselves?"

Professor Bell, although old in appearance, had bright blue eyes. She smiled kindly, responding to the joke of the library administrator:

"Professor Danister, now no one can determine the gender of that God Caller. Yes, most of the time, the silhouette seen by people is a male image, but this doesn't represent anything. Even the most brilliant diviner of the Prophecy Association cannot know his or her gender, and this is already the most basic information about the 'God Caller'." ===== CHAPTER 1432 =====
