Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Battle Before the Secret Passage
Etis and Bertalus began to search for Gianna after Kel'thugad left, but they found nothing for half a day.
Etis was a little puzzled, they had searched the whole tower, why they couldn't find Gianna? Kel'thugad had already admitted that Gianna was indeed here······
He had already checked with Bertarus, and when Kel'thugad left, he only took Bigworth with him, and both he and Kelthugad were archmages, and it was impossible for Kelthugad to hide from him without adequate preparation.
Clueless, he had no choice but to seek Alpha's help again·······
In fact, Atis doesn't like to look for Alpha for help, he thinks that Alpha is just an auxiliary system, the upper limit of its ability, and has always relied on it to form a habit, if something happens one day, Alpha has no way to solve it or has a plan but he doesn't have the strength to implement that plan, what should he do?
Therefore, Etis attaches more importance to the improvement of his own ability, his own is his own, no one can take it away, Alpha is a system, he is the one who uses the system, he can't do it back, otherwise it will be when he is not far from death.
"Alpha, can you help me find out where Gianna is?"
["Drip······ Received a request from the High Guardian······ Searching······ An individual biosignal named Gianna has been retrieved····· Judgment ······ The organism signal was detected 20 meters below the ground·····" 】
Relieved to hear that Alpha had found Gianna's location, he followed Alpha's prompts to find a secret passage with enchantment behind a bookshelf.
When Bertarous saw that Etis had found a secret passage, he knew that this seal had not been able to be unlocked, so he immediately came to help.
"Click!"
With the movement of Bertalus, a crack opened directly in the barrier after a crisp sound, and then the gap became larger and larger, and then the crack crawled densely like a spider's web all over the barrier.
Finally, the entire barrier shattered after a strong light, and the intersection to the lower level was finally opened·······
Attisber and Tarus glanced at each other, and just as they were about to enter the secret passage, a strange noise came from inside.
"Uh······"
Hearing this strange voice, Etis and Bertalus stopped, staring at the source of the sound, and secretly raised their vigilance.
It was dark inside the secret passage, only the magic lamp on the wall gave off a faint glow, and Etis and Bertarous had no way to see what the strange sound was, but as the sound got closer and closer, Etis was finally sure that he had seen these things······
"Be careful, Lord Bertarus, it's the undead created by Kel'thugad from a living person!" Etis activated the support system after alerting Bertarus, and entered the combat mode.
After hearing the voice of Etis, the undead felt the breath of the living, and rushed frantically towards the exit of the secret passage as if they had found something delicious.
"I knew that Kel'thugad didn't leave so easily, and that he was waiting for us here······ I didn't like this surprise at all."
With the help of Alpha, Etis shot out of his hand with a holy light, knocking away the undead who rushed to the front.
"Holy Light······· How could you?"
Ignoring the surprised eyes of Bertarous, Etis observed the undead gushing out while attacking, and saw that the ones that rushed out were low-level undead Etis frowned secretly, and his mind was puzzled:
"What's going on? Why are they all ghouls······ Kel'thugad wasn't going to leave these things alone······ But it's a bit of a lot, I don't know how long it will take······"
Seeing that the ghoul was still rushing outside, I was even more worried about Gianna's safety······
"Your Excellency Bertalus, now is not the time for you to be in a daze, hurry up and help!"
Turning his head and seeing that because Etis could use the Holy Light, Bertarus, who was still in a daze, was angry and didn't fight, why did the archmages he had met so far be strange except for Antonidas······ There are mischievous, narcissists, psychopaths, and this one in front of him is a normal but indeed honest nerd.
In other words, Bertalus and Kel'thugad are really good friends, they are a madman and a nerd, they are a perfect match! Etis seriously doubts that he is on a thief ship, and his future is worrying······
Although mages are considered a combat profession as a branch of spellcasters, they have many schools, they are essentially scholars, and they are scientists in the words of Attis's hometown, so not all mages are good at fighting, but Aetis is very lucky or very accurate, and Berthalus is the kind of mage who is good at fighting.
Hearing Etis's reminder, Bertalus was a little embarrassed, he liked to fall into a state of research regardless of the occasion, and he was often criticized by his mentor for this······
Shaking his head vigorously, Bertarous woke up himself who had almost fallen into a state of research again, and without waiting for Etis to continue urging, he cast a defensive magic on himself and walked in front of Etis, only to see him holding one hand in front of his chest, and after a short pause, a powerful magic power gathered in his hand, gradually forming the shape of a dragon's head.
"Powerful Dragon's Breath!"
("Legendary Spell - Powerful Dragon's Breath, an upgraded version of Dragon's Breath that attacks the cone-shaped area in front of the caster, unlike the normal version of Dragon's Breath, the duration and range of the Powerful Dragon's Breath are determined by the caster's mana output")
A terrifying flame coalesced into a pillar of fire and spewed forward, burning and turning the ghouls in its path into ashes.
Seeing that there were no more ghouls pouring out, Bertarous stopped the spell, looked at the heat emanating from the burned red passage, paused, and cast an ice spell again to freeze the entire walls of the secret passage.
Etis watched Bertalus solve the battle at once, revealing a longing eye, this is the first time he has really seen the high-end combat power of this world, although it is only the tip of the iceberg, but he still understands why Alpha reminds him that the ability of the auxiliary system is limited, he finally understands, because the legendary level is a qualitative change! It is the sublimation of the entire life level! After witnessing the overwhelming strength of Bertalus, his heart to improve his strength is even more urgent······
"Your Excellency Bertalus, you are so powerful, I wonder if my teacher is as strong as you"
"Thank you for your compliment, Etis, your teacher, Your Excellency the Speaker, is stronger than me, and the strength of legendary mages is also high and low, you must know that the path of knowledge is endless, we are people who seek knowledge, people who reveal the truth, don't be the same as Kel'thugad, don't be the same ······ as Kel'thugad"
Etis nodded solemnly and then asked suspiciously: "Your Excellency Bertalus, I have a question, even if you are so strong, even if you have my reasons, why are you still injured by obsidian overload?"
"Uh······ At that time, I was wondering why Obsidian was abnormally overloaded in a daze······" Bertalus, an honest man, replied with some embarrassment.
······
Etis decided to go back to the Titan database to check if there must be some flaws in the need to advance to the legend, and he didn't want to become brainless when the time came······
