Chapter 511: Manifestation of Rules
Chapter 511: Manifestation of Rules
The storm on the ocean subsided, and the sky was clear as far as the eye could see.
The bright sunlight shone upon the pitch-black sea, turning it into a dark jade, but it brought no warmth.
The malevolence of the wraiths enveloped the ocean, and their endless resentment formed a shadow that lingered in the air.
On a lone little boat.
Little Wah Wah Wah took the violin from Lindsey's hands.
Her azure eyes scanned the surroundings, and although her youthful face appeared innocent, there was not a trace of fear.
A passionate soul burst forth within her, exuding confidence and radiance:
"Hmm, no problem!"
"I don't have much essence to manipulate, but with pure music, I can give it a try!"
Little Wah Wah Wah raised her tiny hand.
She skillfully supported the violin on her shoulder and plucked the first string.
Gentle music began to play, but there was no magical power to stop the world at this moment.
The melody initially resembled a gentle breeze.
Within its delicate notes, a resilient force emerged, unyielding to the howling shadows that approached.
Pale ghostly figures crowded forward.
They instantly crossed the hundred-meter distance, almost filling the sea around the boat.
"..."
Lindsey and Alarson on the boat were on high alert.
Alarson took out his brush, manipulated the essence, and was ready to construct his skill.
Lindsey, on the other hand, shifted his attention to his bag.
Lindsey had a plan—Sunflower Essence.
The radiant sunflower could absorb and concentrate the power of the sun, and the essence it condensed also possessed the power of solar flames.
And these sea wraiths were undoubtedly beings of the Yin attribute.
If the Sunflower Essence were to explode, it would undoubtedly cause them significant harm.
The wraiths drew closer, their malice overwhelming.
Lindsey looked at the surrounding pale ghostly figures with their menacing claws and was about to take action.
But at that moment, the tune played by Wah Wah Wah gradually escalated, reaching a crescendo, and its melody became increasingly captivating.
The girl did not use any skills.
During her pure musical performance, the violin on her shoulder seemed to come alive, and the melody it produced contained the power of music.
Listening closely.
The exquisite melody was like the gentleness in everyone's childhood dreams, unknowingly plucking at their heartstrings.
"..."
"They've stopped."
One by one, the lost souls recalled their beautiful memories from when they were alive.
They halted their attacks one after another, and some even slowly disappeared on the sea, as if searching for some ultimate peace.
A song, three to five minutes.
The last gentle note dissipated in the air.
The numerous pale ghostly figures on the sea also vanished, leaving only a few more solid-looking wraiths floating on the water.
But at this moment, their maliciousness had also disappeared.
Instead, they gazed at the boat with a peaceful and serene expression.
Seeing this, Wah Wah Wah smiled confidently. She held the violin and bowed to the surroundings, like an actor bowing to the audience below the stage:
"Thank you! Thank you for your appreciation!"
Wah Wah Wah's emotions were sincere.
Regardless of whether her audience was dead or alive, she genuinely expressed her respect.
Lindsey, standing beside her, took the violin from Wah Wah Wah's hands.
He cautiously activated his skill and surveyed the surrounding wraiths, and corresponding information appeared before his eyes.
[Soul Phantom - A wraith born from sorrowful souls, currently in a state of tranquility.]
"..."
"Is this what an artist can do?"
Lindsey marveled in his heart.
Even though Wah Wah Wah was small in stature and lacked the essence of the sixth stage,
As long as this honed skill remained in her hands,
There was still a chance to perform such a miracle.
After Wah Wah Wah soothed the sea wraiths with her music, the boat continued sailing towards the distance, guided by the currents and the wind of freedom.
But these remaining wraiths did not disappear completely like the others.
The pale shadows on the sea surface trailed behind like the tail of a comet, floating above the ship's wake, resembling pilgrims on a sacred journey.
Naturally, Lindsey maintained a cautious gaze towards the rear.
Although the wraiths were soothed by the music,
no one could guarantee when they might revert to their dangerous state.
A few minutes later, someone on the ship grew restless.
Wah Wah Wah admired these wraiths that were moved by her music.
She lay on the deck, waving her small hand towards the back:
"Hey, can you speak?"
"Why are you following us from so far away?"
"..."
The pacified wraiths also possessed normal cognitive abilities.
Hearing Wah Wah Wah's call, they approached and politely stayed near the stern without boarding the ship.
A hollow, raspy voice echoed among the wraiths:
"Ahead, it's very dangerous."
"My princess, it's best if you don't sail any further in this direction."
"..."
The wraiths' words brought silence to the ship.
Lindsey and the other two exchanged glances, their emotions a mix of joy and concern.
On one hand, this news confirmed the accuracy of their course.
But it also revealed that beyond the storm, there was still danger lurking in the distant sea.
Wah Wah Wah asked the wraiths:
"Can you tell me what the danger is ahead?"
The wraiths immediately responded:
"It's a giant beast of the deep sea."
"The world overlord, guarding the central whirlpool, devours anything that approaches it."
Wah Wah Wah widened her eyes and looked at Lindsey behind her:
"Is it really that whirlpool?!"
"But, if it tears and devours... Lindsey, my true form might already be..."
Lindsey interrupted Wah Wah Wah's speculation:
"You're definitely still alive now."
"Since that person went through so much trouble to bring you here, they surely didn't intend to kill you."
Wah Wah Wah asked curiously:
"Then what do you think her purpose is?"
"..."
Lindsey fell silent for a moment.
As an Awakened at the eighth stage, he could see through the script and guess the other party's identity, but their purpose was beyond his grasp.
As Lindsey and Wah Wah Wah remained silent,
Alarson, standing nearby, had an idea. He turned to Wah Wah Wah and asked:
"Wah Wah Wah, you just advanced to the sixth stage, right?"
Wah Wah Wah nodded:
"Yes, is there a problem?"
Alarson explained:
"I've traveled through numerous worlds."
"It might not be very accurate or specific, but from a broader perspective, I have some insights into the Awakened skills."
"In the first stage, people come into contact with the source essence, clarifying their path; in the second stage, they fuse with the source essence, developing their skills; in the third stage, the first true extraordinary skill is completed; in the fourth stage, there's an in-depth exploration of abilities; in the fifth stage, the concept of skills undergoes a transformation, and thus, this stage is also known as the Ascended One."
Alarson continued, emphasizing the importance of the next stage:
"In the sixth stage, there's a conceptual ascension and the manifestation of one's own rules; in the seventh stage, one uses their skills to challenge the rules of the real world, forming the first one."
The one-armed painter summarized:
"You, at the sixth stage, were pulled here by that fallen artist."
"I believe it's because the manifestation of your rules satisfied some need of theirs!"
