Chapter 1159: Furtive Erosion
“What exactly is going on?”
As Marlene hurried into the rooht Lilian closed her eyes, bit her lip, and lay down on the bed weakly At first glance, she seemed seriously-ill Her petite body shi+vered constantly and she gasped for air, widening her tiny mouth
Marlene and the others were dismayed as soon as they heard the news of Christie and Lilian being ambushed They were confident of Grandia’s defenses, but now, the enemies actually sneaked past the defensive network under their watchful eyes and even launched attacks at them? This exceeded their expectations No, what surprised them more was that the ene at Lilian’s weakly-extended right arm, Marlene couldn’t help but knit her brows The petite, fair, and tender right arh it were contaed a nauseous aura Marlene gnashed her teeth at this sight
“Poison? Or curse?”
“It doesn’t seem like poison… and more like a type of curse”
Christie said softly, standing beside Lilian and gazing at her right arm with a helpless and sorrowful expression Gillian, who stood beside them, also dwindled her usual, carefree smile At that moment, she sized up Lilian attentively, but it was a pity that she didn’t have a cure As a matter of fact, it was basically impossible for Lilian to be poisoned or cursed as she was the Light Dragon Of course, it would be an entirely different issue if her poere still sealed like in the past But after she restored her power, she could control the power of the Light Dragon masterfully It could also be said that she was the existence of sacred pohere harmful curses and poisons would iot close to her If one were to give Lilian a cup of poison, as soon as she held the cup in her hand, the poison would be instantly purified, leaving clean, pure water behind That hy it was impossible for Lilian to be poisoned
To describe the situation more specifically, Lilian seeelina says she sensed a death aura…”
“Do you think this was a trick played by the Dark Dragon?”
“I don’t know”
Facing Marlene’s question, Gillian spread her are, fluffy tail swayed to the left and right
“Frankly, it does feel like a death aura But I think it isn’t exactly one, which hy I took a sample of it for an experiment How should I put it… Yes, the result exceededfrom its appearance and aura, it is close to an undead curse and is dragging Little Lilian’s body toward death But I think this is some sort of its side-effect and not its main purpose”
“What do youher hands once Shortly after, a huolden lines appeared in front of her The right arm of the human model was completely black and beside it were soress 8] After being with Rhode for a long time, Marlene wasn’t surprised by such occurrences anyazed at the hu for her explanation Gillian stood up with a slasses froot it froather everyone’s attention in the roo Sonia, Christie, and Marlene
“Yes… Ehem, I suppose everyone is aware that we aren’t on soul heir, an elemental lord like me, or rule representative like Sonia Even if you’re one of the lower-leveled ones, you’re still far above mortals It can also be said that the difference between us and h, you may not understand this But all in all, as we’ve broken away from the mundane world, ordinary objects will basically have no effect on us Be it poisons or curses, these things have no influence over the origin of rules So I will be fine even if I drink a bucket of poison But this thing before us is apparently very different”
Gillian said, stretching out her hand and pointing at Lilian’s wrist
“If you take a closer look, you will discover that even though this mysterious black presence exudes a death aura, as a est effect it has is to erode Little Lilian’s rule origin It is just like an undead ar the territory of another country First, the top priority for thehter everyone, turn thes, it is all up to the on with Little Lilian The th of her rule origin As it consists of the undead attribute, it causes harm to Lilian’s body If the attribute of this black presence isn’t ‘undead’, but was so else like ‘elf’ or whatnot, Little Lilian would not be affected this badly… No, I should say that it is due to this undead aura that it is a good thing”
“How is that so, Miss Gillian?”
Sonia couldn’t help but ask curiously Judging fro’ at all
“Simple Just like I said, if it were purely an undead aura, Lilian wouldn’t be affected by it at all What caused her current condition is that mysterious black presence I’m not sure of the reason, but at least from what I observed, the black presence and undead aura has fused entirely Due to this reason, it is being resisted by Little Lilian After all, she is the Light Dragon If it were other attributes, perhaps the black presence would erode even quicker and weBut well, it can only bla with the undead aura The undead aura is the natural eneon The power of light inside her resists undead aura automatically If it weren’t for the fact that the black presence is able to erode the rule origin, perhaps the instant it entered Little Lilian’s body, it would have been wiped out i from this aspect, we’re really fortunate If the attribute of that black presence isn’t ‘undead’, which is the co creatures, and is another element or whatnot, perhaps it would be too late after we realize it has eroded her rule origin”
“… That serious?!”
At that moment, everyone turned pale After all, none of the was capable of silently eroding rules Moreover, rule representatives like Marlene, Christie, and Sonia relied entirely on rules to exist If they were eroded and even devoured, that would be the end of their lives
“Could it be Chaos?”
This was Marlene’s first thought that ca apart rules and devouring Order That was also why the six deity wardens were doround, but covered their heads and sneaked away like rats in the face of endless Chaos They were injured, but survived, running to other worlds to avoid disaster This was also why Chaos was able to devour Order and erode rules
“Yes, judging fro eroded, it does seem like the style of Chaos How should I put it…”
Gillian said and found it hard to explain She knitted her brows and pondered upon how she should elaborate her thoughts In the end, she seeiven up as she spread her are presence seems connected to us How should I put it… Hmm… it is like Windows and Mac Two entirely different operating systeether at once…”
“…?”
“Ah… Seems like due to our different diirls, huh?”
Gazing at the confused expressions around her, Gillian scratched her head helplessly, took in a deep breath, and continued
“Logically speaking, Order and Chaos are unable to coexist They are like fire and water; the existence of one is based on the destruction of the other This is a zero-su to the rules, Little Lilian’s Order should dissipate co devoured by Chaos But the truth is otherwise, which is why I suspect… that the strength of Order is possibly hidden within Chaos, which is why Chaos doesn’t need to enter Little Lilian’s through destroying rules It can also alter the rule through erosion In other words…”
“… In other words?”
“Wea variant of Chaos that has never appeared before It is , ser devours brutally like in the past It is like a virus infecting our origins and turning theaze to Lilian “… honestly, I don’t want to knohat it will turn Little Lilian into”
