Chapter 338
Lucy and Wendy both had solemn expressions as they looked at the maggot humanoid.
As soon as they arrived at the Academic City, they began to search for information related to the Grand Library.
The Grand Library was hidden among the various libraries of the city, and there were over a hundred libraries of varying sizes in the Academic City.
Anyone reading in these hundreds of libraries would have a chance to step into the Grand Library and experience the various collections of knowledge within. They might even be able to take one of the books within with them, which was why the Academic City's libraries had always been so popular.
Naturally, the people of the House of Mages had their own unique channels to open this door.
The information collection went much smoother than expected. Every person who entered the Grand Library would leave some sort of trace in the library, and as long as they searched carefully, they would eventually find it.
Not too long ago, the Dean of the Mobis Institute had made a trip to the Grand Library. After that, strange occurrences frequently occurred in the Mobis Institute. Several janitors were constantly cleaning the Grand Library, and they would occasionally hear abnormal noises from the water pipes, as well as an indescribable stench.
These strange occurrences as well as the rumors that the Dean had been to the Grand Library led Lucy and her sister to infiltrate the Mobis Institute, wanting to subdue the Dean and obtain the information he obtained from the Grand Library.
The result was quite obvious. The Dean wasn't in the Institute, or rather, the two sisters couldn't find him. Instead, this maggot humanoid humanoid suddenly appeared and attacked them. The commotion caused by their battle caused great damage, which also dragged a few people in the Institute into this disaster.
The unexpected commotion forced Lucy and her sister to leave first to avoid the maggot humanoid humanoid as well as the people from the House of Mages who were about to arrive.
Lucy and Wendy's abilities originated from Negri's experiments on fusing the power of Impurity and the property of Error. The power of Impurity was the power of all things in the world from order to disorder, which could also be seen as a manifestation of the increase of entropy, the power of the chaotic side of the world.
Meanwhile, the power of Error was the power of things that didn't conform to the Truth of the world, a power brought about by Error. Among them, the easiest power to manifest was personal Truth that didn't conform to the Truth of the world.
The increase of the power of Impurity would inevitably lead to the birth of Error. After all, the collapse of an object's Order would surely be accompanied by constant internal Error, and the appearance of Error would also lead to the collapse of Order, giving rise to even more power of Impurity. In theory, the two could be combined.
However, the experiment of combining the two forces had repeatedly gone wrong. When the two forces were combined, it would cause the power to go berserk. Everything in the surroundings would instantly collapse under the influence of this power, resulting in a huge energy explosion.
If the two powers didn't fuse together, they wouldn't react even if they were mixed together, but once there was a point of fusion, the two powers would explode as soon as they came into contact. Even Negri himself couldn't use the Dragon of Eternal Sin form and the power of Impurity at the same time, he had to separate the two powers into different parts of his body.
After discovering that it was unrealistic for a single individual to master the fusion, Negri envisioned that multiple individuals could master a portion of it to achieve the goal of mastering this power in their hands.
In the end, Lucy and Wendy became the successful cases of the experiment. Because they were twin sisters, their telepathy was very strange, and they even shared the same spiritual power.
The older sister Lucy was able to mix her own spiritual power with the power of Impurity, while the younger sister Wendy was able to use the power of Error to influence all power of Impurity within a certain range that carried her older sister's spiritual power, using the shared spiritual power of the two sisters as the fusion point to cause the power of Error to react with it.
When the two sisters worked together, they could easily create a huge explosion. Of course, apart from explosions, they also obtained other abilities, such as releasing the aura of their powers to disrupt any traces they left behind. After some testing, even a Master Magician would find it hard to use magic to discover their traces, of course, they could also use their own powers to easily destroy the structure of objects.
The maggot humanoid's head was nothing but maggots, it didn't have any facial features, but an unpleasant voice indeed came from its body, a disgusting voice that sounded like liquid being squeezed and bitten by insects: "Stay here, become my breeding ground, give birth to more children for me"
The maggot humanoid waved its hand, sending a large number of maggots and slime flying towards the two sisters.
Lucy took out a few darts and threw them into the air, then pulled her sister back. Looking at the darts in the air, Wendy released the power of 'Mistake' from her body, touching the power of Impurity contained within the darts.
However, the explosion wasn't as powerful as it used to be, a small maggot even splashed onto Lucy's left calf by the shockwave of the explosion. Although Lucy quickly shook it off and stomped it to death, a painful itching sensation could be felt from that spot.
"It's that power again!" The two sisters felt dejected. In the past, the explosion could easily destroy everything around it, but the force of the explosion wasn't that strong.
However, during their fight against this maggot humanoid, a certain power had affected the power of Impurity, or rather, affected Lucy's spiritual power, causing the fusion point to be incomplete, greatly reducing the power of the explosion.
While enduring the pain and itching sensation on her left calf, Lucy infused the power of Impurity from her body into a brick on the ground. Wendy, who was connected to her telepathically, directly triggered the power of Error as soon as they were a certain distance away.
"Boom …"
Another explosion occurred, the intense shockwave toppling both the wall and the maggot humanoid. The maggot humanoid's body was knocked to the ground by the force of the explosion, causing countless maggots to scatter all over the ground. However, these maggots quickly regrouped and formed a maggot humanoid before continuing to chase after the two sisters. This maggot humanoid seemed to have a special liking for the two sisters.
Lucy also fell to the ground due to the intense pain from her left leg. She sat on the ground and looked at her calf, only to see that it had swollen up and formed a red pustule with some yellow pus flowing out. If one took a closer look, they could even see small maggots wriggling inside.
Lucy tried using her power of Impurity to kill these things, but found that the maggots were extremely adapted to the power of Impurity. Not only did they quickly grow in size, the pustule was also expanding, forcing Lucy to stop using her power of Impurity.
Wendy then tried using the power of Error as well, but found that while the power of Error didn't cause the maggots to expand, it also couldn't kill them.
The stench of the maggot humanoid slowly approached them from behind. The monster seemed to be able to accurately sense their location, so the two sisters had no choice but to temporarily give up on dealing with the problem with their feet and run for their lives. The monster was extremely effective against them, if they could use their explosive abilities normally, even ten maggot humanoids would be blown to smithereens.
