Chapter 387: A new magic of illusion
Nicole Ceylan felt her consciousness gradually returning.
This made her feel... incredible!
Nicole still remembered the last memory before she disappeared.
That experience seemed to be just a moment ago.
She was a soul that should not exist in this world.
Her father, Sep Skov, was an illusion that modified reality, and her birth was a huge distortion of reality.
When her mother, the Countess, disappeared, the illusion magic failed, and she should have completely disappeared.
At that time, Nicole could even feel the process of dissipation, and her consciousness was becoming more and more blurred.
But now she is regaining consciousness.
She can think again!
This is simply a miracle!
As consciousness returned, the five senses also slowly responded.
The first thing to recover was her sense of touch.
She could barely feel that she seemed to be lying on her back, with solid ground beneath her, which felt cool and comfortable.
Then her sense of smell and hearing were restored.
There seemed to be a faint fragrance around her, a smell she had never smelled before, but it was very pleasant.
Someone's voice came into her ears.
The sound came from a complex source.
She heard crying, incredible exclamations, praise, and other messy sounds.
Finally, her vision and taste were restored.
Nicole slowly opened her eyes.
What came into view was a wide hall.
There were a large number of round tables arranged neatly and in regular shapes, which looked extremely sophisticated and advanced at first glance.
And... a lot of people!
"Huh?"
Nicole blinked subconsciously.
Because she thought what she saw was an illusion.
There were men and women among these people, but they were almost all carved out of the same mold!
All the men were exactly the same height, weight, and body shape, and their faces looked exactly the same!
Nicole subconsciously raised her hand and tried to chant the spell.
"Aquaer!"
A simple 1st level magic, [Water Mirror], condenses the surrounding water elements to form a "mirror" that can reflect the scene.
The face in the mirror made Nicole feel unfamiliar.
This is not what she looks like.
Nicole inherited her mother's beautiful brown curly hair.
Now it is thick, smooth and straight black hair.
The contours of her face have also changed a lot.
The original oval face has become a nearly round face.
"What happened?"
Nicole was a little stunned.
Until a young man who was given amplification magic and dressed neatly in the distance began to shout:
"Everyone, don't be nervous, don't be confused!"
"The appearance has changed, this is normal!"
"Because you have experienced a miracle of resurrection from the dead!"
"This is the price that must be paid for miracles!"
"Praise Nowen!"
"The Eternal Night Disaster in Ceylon Territory has ended. The great God of Knowledge has sent down His great power. He has given all the victims a second chance at life!"
"Please cherish this precious opportunity!"
The crowd who had just reshaped their bodies began to riot.
"Resurrection from the dead?!"
"Miracle!"
"I was dead, but I remember a monster suddenly appeared on the street and pounced on my face, and then I lost consciousness very quickly."
"We...are alive again?!"
There are also those whose families were killed by monsters, who learned about the miracle of resurrection from the dead and anxiously shouted in the crowd:
"Ellen? My child, where are you? Mom can't find you!"
"Malf, Malf!"
"Grandpa! Are you okay, Grandpa Bock!"
There is no way.
Everyone looks exactly the same.
Without shouting, it is impossible to tell who is who.
The most troublesome are those young children who haven't even learned to speak.
Although their bodies have become adults, their cognition is still at the original level. They can only make a sound there, and even their mothers can't recognize them.
Seeing this scene.
The believers who shouted earlier had a headache.
Although they received the task of receiving and guiding, the task requirements required them to properly place these people or send them back to Ceylon.
The problem is that now these victims can't even find their relatives. We can't just pack them all up and put them in carriages and send them back, and randomly pair them up and call it a day, right?
Fortunately.
Considering the emergence of this situation, Nowen prepared a corresponding backup plan.
To be precise.
The emergence of this backup plan originated from a special person:
Nicole Ceylon.
...
While Nicole was still confused.
An oracle from the goddess of illusion appeared in front of her.
This oracle was not in the form of a simple message.
The words composed of illusions appeared in front of Nicole in a way that could be seen directly by the eyes.
"Use [New Illusion Divine Art] to assist the Church of Seeking Knowledge, identify the identities of the victims after rebirth, and complete the guidance?"
Nicole read it carefully.
She noticed.
It seems that only she can see this oracle message, the words floating directly in the air, but the people around her turn a blind eye to it.
The second line of text is a prayer.
The prayer that must be chanted when using the new [Illusion Spell].
The content was very simple, just one sentence.
Nicole tried to speak softly:
"Everything is new!"
The world she saw, heard, and heard changed quietly the moment Nicole finished chanting the prayer!
First, a white light appeared in front of her eyes.
The whole world was replaced by white.
In this pure white world, two lines of text appeared one after another:
[May the truth of knowledge shine upon the earth]
[Illusion Divine Art, Special Revised Edition of the God of Knowledge, Nowen, V1.0]
Then, the white light faded.
"Return" to the original world, but the world has become...very different.
Nicole looked at the heads of the people around her in surprise!
"What is this?!"
A line of light green text was hanging out of thin air above everyone's head.
[Ellen Schiller]
[Malf Douglas]
[Bock Bowlby]
...
Nicole raised her head carefully and looked at the top of her head.
The same light green text.
The letters of the common language were still used.
[Nicole Ceylan]
"Is this... everyone's name?"
She realized something.
Although everyone looks exactly the same now, in the same body, there are completely different souls!
The new illusion magic is no longer a magic caster like Nicole who weaves illusions.
Instead, a pre-prepared, complete "illusion" is cast on the caster, changing the world in his eyes!
Nicole stood up, found a simple gray dress from the clothes basket prepared in advance, and quickly walked to the few anxious believers seeking knowledge.
"I received the oracle, I can help you identify their identities and complete the guidance!"
...
