Chapter 364
In the core area of the chaos storm, the residual heat from just completing the magic sword casting was still flowing in Luo En's blood vessels.
The magic sword hovered in front of him, its silver luster appearing eerie and beautiful under the illumination of the abyss energy.
The magic amplification crystal serving as the core was pulsing slowly, like the heartbeat of some living organ.
"A reaction like a living thing, it really is an activated magic sword..."
Luo En observed the subtle changes beginning to appear on the surface of the magic sword.
The originally smooth blade began to grow slender, tentacle-like patterns.
These patterns writhed, as if tasting the chaos aura in the surroundings.
Not far away, sensing the dangerous aura coming from outside the storm, Nari's countless eyes of varying sizes turned toward the same direction in an orderly manner.
"My child..."
Her voice sounded deep in Luo En's consciousness: "Stop looking at your magic sword for now, those two old guys have already arrived nearby."
The magic concentration in the air began to show abnormal fluctuations, like ripples suddenly appearing on a calm lake.
Luo En activated "Extraordinary Identification," and under the special vision, he saw an unsettling scene.
The spatial structure in the distance was undergoing subtle distortion.
Those were two distinct, powerful forces cautiously probing this place.
The first force emitted a primitive and violent aura, full of the smell of blood and destruction.
It seemed that one could hear the roars of countless creatures before death on ancient battlefields in the air, a sound like a chorus coming from the depths of hell.
The second force was even more eerie and unpredictable, dreamlike, full of twisted beauty.
It reminded one of those dreams that shouldn't exist in the dead of night, that terrifying boundary between wakefulness and sleep.
"'Mad-Bite' Mo Gelong and 'Nightmare Queen' Selina..."
According to the relevant information Nari passed to him, Luo En immediately realized the identities of the arrivals.
Both of these were among the oldest and most dangerous apostles in the abyss, with strength capable of rivaling a Great Wizard.
"They sent their subordinates to scout the path ahead."
Nari's voice became even colder, and the dangerous meaning contained within it made the surrounding chaos storm begin to restless:
"Those two old guys are hiding not far away, thinking Mom can't perceive them... what ridiculous caution."
With the change in her emotions, the entire storm environment began to enter a combat state.
The relatively stable energy flow began to accelerate its circulation, and more twisted cracks appeared in space.
Luo En felt this terrifying pressure, and in his heart, he had both anticipation and worry about the upcoming conflict.
The battle between apostles would be a collision of power beyond human understanding.
Every strike was enough to change the terrain, and every release of power could affect the reality structure of a large area.
"Mom, is there anything I can do for you?" he asked proactively.
Hearing this proposal, all of Nari's eyes turned toward Luo En, and the light within them became gentle:
"My good child... actually wanting to help Mom fight..."
Her voice was full of emotion and relief:
"But baby, your strength is still too weak, this level of battle..."
"I know I cannot participate in the battle directly."
Luo En interrupted her words gently, his eyes revealing a thoughtful look:
"But I can provide you with auxiliary strengthening. As an enchanter, I should be able to perform temporary enhancements on some of your parts."
This proposal made Nari's eyes light up.
Although she was powerful, as an abyss apostle, she had never received systematic rune strengthening.
If she could obtain additional amplification effects before the battle, it would indeed greatly increase her chances of winning.
"Then let's give it a try, my child."
Nari extended a smaller tentacle, carefully approaching Luo En:
"But Mom's body is very sensitive to external magic, you must be extra careful."
Luo En took out a precision enchanting carving knife from his storage bag.
That was a high-level tool he had specially applied for at the observation station, capable of withstanding considerable intensity of magic impact.
But the moment the carving knife touched the surface of Nari's tentacle, an accident happened.
The sharp carving knife immediately began to emit white smoke, as if touching intense acid.
Dense corrosion pits appeared on the metal surface, and the precision rune circuits also failed rapidly under the erosion of the chaos power.
In less than ten seconds, this expensive professional tool was completely scrapped.
"Damn it..."
Luo En looked at the wreckage in his hand, which only had the handle left, his brows furrowed tightly:
"I ignored the problem of the life level gap; Nari's chaos essence will automatically erode any external energy."
Without suitable enchanting tools, with his current ability, he simply couldn't perform rune carving on such a powerful existence.
Forcing an attempt would only lead to magic backlash and might even cause permanent damage to himself.
"Child, don't force it." Nari said with concern; she could feel Luo En's frustration:
"Mom is already very powerful, and doesn't need additional strengthening to..."
"Wait..."
Luo En suddenly remembered something, and his eyes lit up instantly:
"I have another choice."
He slowly drew the magic sword he had just finished casting.
The silver blade shone brightly under the immersion of the chaos aura.
The magic amplification crystal serving as the core was also emitting a stable blue light.
"My magic sword... although it is not a regular enchanting tool."
Luo En's voice carried excitement:
"But it carries my soul fragments and has established a deep connection with you through two-way communication.
This relationship allows it to withstand your chaos power and even resonate with it."
Nari looked at this strange weapon emitting the aura of life and understood a little:
"You mean... use it as a medium?"
"Exactly." Luo En's train of thought became clearer and clearer:
"The magic sword is the bond of our relationship, and it will not produce a repulsive reaction to your power. Performing rune carving through it should be able to bypass the problem of chaos erosion."
This idea was theoretically sound.
The magic sword fused his bloodline essence and soul fragments, and it was also influenced by Nari's chaos power during the casting process.
It was no longer a simple man-made object, but a special existence capable of coordinating two different forces.
"Then let's give it a try."
Nari extended her tentacle again, this time inadvertently extending the touch of pollution that had once eroded Luo En.
And when she extended this tentacle emitting the aura of death, her emotions became complex again.
This was the most dangerous part of her power, and also the evidence of the sin that had once hurt her "child."
"My child..."
Nari's voice was full of self-reproach and guilt:
"That tentacle hurt you... perhaps Mom should just cut it off... that way there won't be any possibility of hurting you again..."
Countless tiny tentacles began to gather toward the touch of pollution, preparing to forcibly strip it from her body.
"Wait first!" Luo En hurriedly stopped her self-mutilation behavior:
"That was just an accident; you were just trying to test my sincerity at the time. And..."
He looked at the tentacle emitting terrifying pressure, his eyes revealing an interested look:
"From a tactical perspective, this tentacle is one of your attack means that is relatively difficult to defend against.
If it can be strengthened, it might play a key role in the upcoming battle."
Hearing this explanation, the guilt in Nari's heart lightened slightly.
"You... you really don't mind approaching it again?" she asked cautiously.
"Between family members, we shouldn't be estranged from each other because of past misunderstandings."
Luo En's answer was concise and firm, and at the same time, he began to use the magic sword to contact the touch of pollution.
And at this moment, as if sensing what was in his heart, the magic sword suddenly began to undergo subtle changes.
The rune network on the surface of the blade began to rearrange, as if sensing the rich chaos aura in the surroundings.
The silver luster gradually deepened, changing from a pure metal texture to a more complex color.
Those tentacle-like patterns began to writhe more actively, as if actively absorbing the surrounding chaos aura.
