Act Thirty-Three: Into the Ruins

The appearance of the giant beast is very similar to the hippopotamus that Lawson had seen in his previous life, but the difference is that the huge mouth occupies almost one-third of the body, and the body covered with crystalline scales is rising and falling with the breath, the giant beast is three people tall, quite huge, the external turmoil does not seem to matter to it, it makes a sleeping snoring sound, and it looks harmless to humans and animals.

"This is the Gluttonous Crystallizer, I don't know the official name, anyway, that's what Geman and I call it, it's one of the most tame beasts in the shallow sea, but these Gluttonous Crystallization Beasts have a bad problem, that is, they like to devour everything they see. ”

Davos said, taking Rosen and the others to hide behind a half-collapsed wall and peek at the beast.

"Although the enchantment of the capital of sin karma is powerful, it is not absolutely impossible for the monsters living here to break through, such as the gluttonous crystal beast can freely shuttle between the sides of the barrier, the specific principle, I don't know. ”

"This beast seems to have been in a state of chaotic magic radiation for a long time, and it has developed a certain resistance to this barrier in the capital of sinful karma, so it can shuttle freely. ”

Tia immediately gave the answer after hearing Davos's explanation.

"This is a blind spot, the Rainbow Tower does not seem to have taken into account the adaptability and evolution of creatures when setting up the magic barrier, and it seems that it can be written as a relevant report after returning. ”

"So, even if it can pass through the barrier of mana, what are we going to do, kill it and use the fur as cover?"

Lawson asked without thinking, he had thought of another possibility, but it was a little strange to think about it.

"No, no, no, we just need to be eaten by it, and when it enters the capital of sinful karma, it escapes from its stomach. ”

Davos spoke in a flat tone about something quite heavy.

"Previously, Geman and I relied on this method to enter the capital of sinful karma. ”

"It's disgusting......"

Tia frowned.

"But this is the fastest way, I don't know the means of the Hot Wind Mercenary Group, but what I know so far is that this is the only way to safely enter the City of Crime. ”

Davos seemed to understand Tia's resistance as a girl to the belly of the slimy monster, but he couldn't do anything better.

"The quickest way? Not necessarily. ”

Tia said, ignoring the sleeping beast and walking to the crimson barrier of magic.

"What are you going to do?"

Lawson was also a little strange, although as a mage, Tia must have a certain understanding of the magic barrier set up by the Rainbow Tower, but this was a barrier set up seven hundred years ago to seal the people of Chaos, and it seems that it is not something that can be done in a moment or a half if you want to analyze and break through by yourself.

"Did you know that most of the seals set up by the Rainbow Tower have one thing in common. ”

As she spoke, Tia pulled out a crystal that shone with a rainbow of light, something that Rosen was familiar with.

It's the key to the rainbow.

"The Rainbow Key of the high-level councilor's authorization level has the authority to open all the Rainbow Tower seals and magic barriers below the corresponding level, so this should be no exception. ”

She held up the rainbow key, and the crystal emitted bursts of light that gradually resonated with the red barrier of magic.

Then, a surprising scene appeared.

The barrier of magic gradually opened a small opening, forming a small door large enough to pass through one person.

"Look, that's the quickest way to do it. ”

Tia turned her head to look at Davos and Rosen, and smiled.

"Uh......"

Lawson didn't expect this at all, after all, he was not born in the Rainbow Tower and was not a mage, and the [Identification] skill would not tell him these specific uses, but he was still very happy to be able to enter the capital of crime by "walking".

Davos looked surprised, but quickly relented, and since there was a more convenient way, he didn't say anything more, just a little curious.

"You knew there was a way to do it from the beginning? So why didn't you say it sooner. ”

"As a researcher, when I learned that there were other ways to break this magic barrier, of course, I chose to compare and refer to it. ”

Tia said, her tone full of naturalness.

"Okay......"

Davos seemed to give up and kept up with Tia.

These mages are more like those mad scientists in the previous life, Rosen thought, and did not object, and followed the two through the magic barrier.

As soon as he entered the capital of sin, Rosen felt a strong smell of chaos.

This is more thick than in Byron Weiss at that time, if it was the feeling of looking at the abyss at that time, then at this time it is almost like being inside the abyss, and Lawson found that the buildings in the distance were twisting at a strange angle, which was obviously the influence of chaos magic.

The whole city was silent, like a dead city.

It still seems to retain the appearance of the Advent ritual, and Lawson can see that the surrounding houses are full of splashed black spots, which must be caused by dried blood, and there is a faint smell of blood on the road, so he can feel the tragic situation caused by the advent ritual back then.

"It's really miserable, hundreds of thousands of lives evaporated in an instant, and the residual resentment alone is maddening enough. ”

Tia frowned slightly and moved her nose.

"Go this way. ”

Instead of choosing the main road, Davos picked a small one.

"There are a lot of monsters on the main road, so it's relatively safe here. ”

At this time, Rosen thought of the information he had received from Isaiah, and among them were many accounts of monsters, one of which impressed him.

Similar in appearance to a spider but with a body made of crystals emitting a purple glow, the monster known as the Crystal Spider is usually large and likes to inhabit dark corners, weaving traps and waiting for its prey to arrive.

This is a relatively detailed description of the monster, including its habits and weaknesses, and one of the most striking ones is "swarming".

The main reason why Lawson remembered this monster was because not long after they entered the alley, they saw a large number of it.

It's just that it's all corpses.

Dozens of crystal spiders fell to the ground, their dazzling crystal limbs rudely torn off, many of them crushed entirely, only the twisted feet hinted at the degree of pain it had before it died, and more of them were missing parts of their bodies, and the sections of the wounds were mutilated, as if they were eaten by some kind of creature.

"These spiders ..... It seems that they have encountered a more powerful predator. ”

A cloud also shrouded in Davos's heart, these crystal spiders generally have the level of no pinnacle to the lower reaches of the black iron, although their intelligence is not high, but they still have destructive power that cannot be underestimated when they act in groups, and now they are directly killed collectively, it seems that the strength of the predators is overwhelming for them.

This place is not a realm where crystal spiders often appear, the monster territory consciousness in the capital of sin karma is very strong, and there is no need for crystal spiders to invade other people's territories, so it is only possible to be driven by that powerful existence, which can also be seen that thing has a certain intelligence.

"Hopefully we can get away with that guy. ”

However, contrary to Davos's hope, after a corner, Lawson and the others saw the culprit who had killed so many crystal spiders.

It was a dragon.

A dragon made of crystal and gravel.
