Volume III: The Beginning of Turmoil (Remastered) Chapter 7: The Abyss of Pain (2)
Emerging from the Endless Corridor is the Magister Platform, a separate space specially carved out by the archmages, about the size of a city, with dozens of circular obsidian platforms suspended in this space. The smallest of these obsidian platforms is the size of a football field, and each platform is connected by a two-metre-square floating stone slab.
Similar scenes can be seen in many mage towers, but in terms of scale and stability, they are not as good as the facilities left by the ancient elven archmages, which is also a great proof of the elven empire's advanced skills in magic, and the current long-eared people use this technology on the floating city, thus creating the floating fortress as a weapon of war.
Yu Bin had thought that after a long time, these Magister platforms had long been occupied by various monsters, but it was clear that some of the protections left by the ancient elven mages were still in operation. From time to time, a magical glow can be seen coming from one of the Magister's platforms.
Nearly four meters tall, the arcane golems are still patrolling according to the orders left by their masters tens of thousands of years ago, these arcane golems that look similar to Zagu are nothing more than props used to carry items and clean platforms in the eyes of those ancient elven archmages, but for the current world of Ntagre, even these cleaning items are enough to pose a deadly threat.
Joining these arcane golems are strange creatures that have the upper body of an elf, but the lower half of their body is an organ of tentacles and arthropods, which are wrapped in a black carapace-like substance to support the body. Compared to the height of the arcane golems, these monster creatures are only less than two meters tall, but they are able to use all kinds of magic, at least Yu Bin found that those arcane golems do not have a clear advantage in fighting these monsters.
Some platforms also have fragments of arcane golems, or even more intact arcane golem bodies, whose power comes from the magic crystals located on their chests, and once the energy in the magic crystals is depleted, these arcane golems will go into standby, waiting for the magic crystals to recover their energy by absorbing the surrounding mana. It's a pity that the magic energy crystals on the Arcane puppet that fell to the ground were damaged, which made Yu Bin lose the opportunity to make a fortune, you know, this kind of thing is very attractive to those archmages, and a magic energy crystal can even be exchanged for hundreds of thousands of gold coins!
Carefully bypassing the Magister platforms where the battle was still taking place, Yu Bin came to the platform in the most central part, and there were more than ten magic energy elevators with a diameter of ten meters distributed on the platform wider than the entire Capital Stadium, and they were the means of transportation to the next area.
Yu Bin pursed his lips, he was very reluctant to take this kind of magic energy elevator, because these are obviously the earliest models, there is no protective barrier, and there is no solidified reverse magic circle, taking this kind of magic energy elevator is like experiencing a high-altitude fall, Yu Bin tried it once in his previous life, and that feeling is impressive!
Although he was very reluctant, Yu Bin finally gritted his teeth and stood up. Obviously, in the most core area of this space, this Magister platform is well protected by those arcane golems, and after Yu Bin stands up, the magic energy elevator automatically starts running, carrying Yu Bin straight down to the deepest part of this space.
When Yu Bin opened his eyes, he had already come to the deepest part of the abyss of pain, a seal located hundreds of meters underground.
The ancient elven archmages built an arena here for some entertainment in their leisure time, and also used it as a training facility to train various creatures to test their fighting abilities.
When Yu Bin stepped into the circular square of the arena, several iron gates automatically sealed the passage to the outside, and a tall arcane puppet stood in the center of the arena, it seemed that it was his opponent.
And in the stands around the arena, several faint projections appeared there, watching with interest the battle that was about to start below.
"Is this the new toy you've found?" It was a red-robed mage who spoke, his face unclear in a wide red robe, but the emblem embroidered on the red robe indicated his identity, a lich skull grinning with a crown.
Standing next to him was the human mage-like Kranvo, a new god who had just been promoted to a god (less than 10,000 years ago), Kranvo had not yet obtained a core priesthood, so he was now only an assistant to the god of death to help with the reincarnation of death.
"Yes, what do you think, Visharon?" The black humanoid representing the will to die smiled and said, "But one thing you said is wrong, I didn't find him!" ”
"Oh? So someone has already set their sights on this little guy? Kranvo watched Yu Bin fight the Arcane Golem in the arena, "This is a new thing, who can take food from you?" ”
"Look at that sword, does it feel familiar?"
Visharon and Kranvo set their eyes on the rune sword in Yu Bin's hand, as a new god, Kranvo hadn't remembered whose weapon it was, but Visharon let out a low exclamation: "It's him?" ”
"That prince really spent a lot of money!" The black figure said, "Do you feel it, the soul sigil left on that sword!" ”
"The orphans of Lothric can't sit still anymore! I thought they had given up the fight! Visharon let out a long sigh.
"Give up? As long as those two don't fall for a day, the rebellion will not stop for a day! Kranvo finally understood where the rune sword came from, "Let's be honest, what does your master want us to do?" As long as it's not too much to ask, I can do it for Jerk! ”
The black figure waved his hand: "Don't worry, keep watching, this is a good show!" After the actor's curtain call, I will naturally ask you for payment! ”
"Okay, let me see what surprises this toy can bring!"
The conversation between the gods and spirits was not something that mortals could perceive, and Yu Bin did not have the heart to perceive the situation in the stands. That arcane puppet was not an ordinary model, and it was very likely that those ancient elven archmages had been instilled with a combat instruction set, so Yu Bin was forced to be very embarrassed.
The two daggers of Mind Eater and Soul Eater had been thrown directly into the space bag by Yu Bin, and the electric light swirling around the Arcane Golem's body made any close attack suffer the danger of electric shock, so he could only rely on the rune sword to fight.
Tumbling closer, with the help of the undead shield, Yu Bin successfully destroyed a small piece of armor behind the arcane golem, and after several freezing attacks, the brittle armor shattered, revealing the energy pipeline bound by the arcane power inside, as well as the magic alloy that replaced the bones.
Just when Yu Bin was about to seize this weakness and insert the rune sword into it to directly destroy the pipeline inside, the armor on the side of the arcane puppet opened, and a small dwarf musket stretched out, which made Yu Bin's scalp tingle with fright, and he chose to retreat without hesitation.
There were three crisp bangs, and three special rune bullets were fired from the barrel, grazing Yu Bin's armor and hitting the ground, the runes on the bullets were shattered because of the impact, and the magic crystal powder infused into the bullets produced a magic reaction under catalysis, forming three fist-sized lightning balls. If Yu Bin hadn't chosen to retreat just now, then he would definitely have three big holes in his stomach by now.
"Make no mistake! What idiot made the Magic Guardian look like this! Yu Bin almost jumped to his feet in anger, the big guy in front of him was not an arcane puppet, but a combat magic guard, which made him miserable, compared to the arcane puppet used as an assistant and servant, the magic energy guard is a special combat construct, and those elven archmages who are bursting with whimsical ideas in their minds anytime and anywhere will almost put all the combat props they can think of on these magic energy guards.
An electric shock to the abdomen was found. The gun was useless, and the magic guard turned around, and the two pieces of armor on his chest slowly opened, and round holes were arranged in a six-by-six array under the armor.
"Rub!" Where did Yu Bin dare to be stunned, he just turned his head and ran away, just kidding, the thirty-six-barreled arcane missile, those who dare to eat hard head-on are either brain broken, or brain broken!
Arcane missiles dragging tail flames shot out of the Guardian's chest, turning half of the arena into a sea of fire, and the explosion of arcane energy lit up the entire underground space.
"Where did you find such a thing?" Kranvo was a powerful mage before he became a god, so he was very aware of the performance of this kind of magic guard, as the ancient elf archmage used to guard the mage tower's constructing body guard, except for the shortcoming of lack of intelligence, he couldn't check much with a mage with hero-level strength in all other aspects, especially when he also had external armor, it can be said that his close-quarters combat power was also very close to a hero-level warrior.
"Magister Platform! This was the last remaining Magical Guardian, but the Magical Crystal inside had been severely damaged, and it could only support him for half an hour at most. ”
"Half an hour? I don't think this little guy will last half an hour! ”
"Of course I can't make it, because I still stuffed a little gift into that thing!" The black figure said with a smile.
At this time, the arcane flash finally gradually dissipated in the arena, but the magic guards did not find the intruder's body in it, and his iron head composed of arcane alloy and various pipelines did not react for a while, and stood in place in a daze.
Until a long sword pierced his shoulder, removing half of the shoulder blade.
Yu Bin was glad that he had killed the king of the velociraptor Basil in the Fangfang Abyss, and the skins of the Spotted Velociraptor made Sinol very satisfied, and decided to make a new pair of boots out of them, and the pair he was wearing was given to Yu Bin as a reward.
[Swift Shadow Leather Boots]: Red rare leather boots, sturdiness 3, leather boots made of soft leather of Swift Shadow Leopard with special magic treatment, which retains the magic pattern of Swift Shadow Leopard to the greatest extent, and can be activated after consuming 20% of the maximum mana (minimum 50 points), increasing the movement speed by 200% within three seconds, but will cause the movement speed to be halved in the next five seconds.
A piece of equipment with obvious advantages and obvious disadvantages, for a black knight like Sinol, who mainly fights head-on, this pair of leather boots is obviously not very suitable for his fighting style, so he will not care about giving it to Yu Bin as a reward, of course, this also contains some factors that pull the relationship, after all, a junior who is likely to have two consecutive perfect advancements is indeed worth his investment.
And for Yu Bin, who often has to face cross-level battles, these leather boots can be regarded as a very good piece of equipment. In the face of enemies who are stronger than himself in every way, Yu Bin's only chance of victory is to create a chance of victory for himself through a deadly attack, and in this case, the Swift Shadow Leather Boots that allow Yu Bin to gain three times the speed in a short period of time are comparable to a purple legendary-level equipment.
Although these boots are purple and black and have no sharp corners, the triple speed is a real benefit!
With the help of these leather boots, Yu Bin took advantage of the light of the arcane missile explosion to cover up and successfully went around the back of the magic energy guard, giving the other party a surprise. Disruption of the scapular line causes the Guardian to lose control of one of its arms.
Thanks to the experience of his previous life, whether it was an arcane puppet or a magic energy guard, although Yu Bin didn't know how they made them, he still had a certain understanding of those places where pipelines were dense.
"I retract my judgment! This little guy looks familiar with the Magical Guardians! "Kranvo has also made a number of similar constructs, and knows very well what the consequences of the destruction of pipelines will be, although the mages of the world of Entagri will no longer bury pipelines as much as they did in ancient times, but it is only to slightly improve the damage resistance of this constructor golem, and this weakness will always accompany the constructor golem until a replacement for the energy pipeline is developed.
"That's one of the reasons why I'm inviting you! According to my traceability, this little guy has just woken up as an undead for less than half a year, but he inexplicably knows a lot of secrets! ”
"When he was alive......"
"An ordinary human soldier! The kind that can't even keep a name! The black humanoid's answer made Visharon can't help but turn his head to look at it.
Kranvo lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "You want me to look for some traces through the River Styx?" ”
"Jerk is so rigid! It's harder to get him to waste the water of the River Styx for this purpose than to make him cut his flesh! ”
"Well, I'll look it up, but it's best not to get your hopes up too much!" Cranvo finally agreed to the black humanoid's request, "Unless this little fellow's soul has been soaked in the Styx for enough time, not even Jecob will be able to find his heel through the waters of the Styx." ”
"Enough! Sometimes not having a heel is also good news! ”
