Chapter 175: The Beginning of the Tragedy
"The whole desperate space, is it a sphere space?" Kenneth was taken aback.
"That's right, that's my guess, and of course it's going to take some testing." Thor took out his wand and gestured on the ground, explaining to Kenneth, "If the whole space is a sphere, then the four areas should be four layers of spherical space, so they can be independent of each other!" And if you extrapolate this way, that safe zone should be in the core area! ”
But at this point, Thor hesitated again, and then commanded Kenneth: "Wait, there could be another situation...... Kenneth, let's take a lap first. ”
Kenneth saw that Thor was about to get an answer, so he carried Thor on his back without complaint, and after making a clear mark on the ground, he found a direction and sprinted forward.
And there are two pairs of eyes quietly observing what the two are doing, and naturally it is Sivari and Douglas, who have fought with Kenneth.
Douglas was already the top genius of the Hexagram Academy, and he saw through Thor's purpose at a glance, and said with a slightly solemn expression: "They are probably about to figure out the structure of this space, we have to hurry." ”
Sivari glanced at Douglas secretly, not knowing what he was thinking, and said, "Then we should also leave for the safe zone, right?" ”
Douglas glanced at Sivari, but snorted coldly: "Then we have to deal with these two people before leaving!" The people in this space should have been almost cleaned up, and that kid is too threatening, just take advantage of his weakness to get rid of him! Walk! ”
With that, Douglas led Sivari to a canyon where Kenneth must pass and began to set up a death trap for them. As for Sivari, who was following Douglas, a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, as if he had another calculation.
After about an hour and a half, Kenneth was in the same direction with absolute sense, and he only had to cross the canyon in front of him to reach the starting point.
However, at the moment when Kenneth stepped into the canyon, the entire canyon trembled violently, and then a huge fifth-order magic array of the earth system unfolded in the canyon, and then a cluster of sharp stone thorns rose from Kenneth's feet, and at the same time, several huge stone pillars were pierced out of the stone walls on both sides, even Kenneth couldn't react, he could only dodge the stone pillars on both sides, but he was directly penetrated by the stone thorns on the soles of his feet!
"Uhh......hh Kenneth endured the severe pain and retreated violently, but Thor didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly jumped down and asked, "Kenneth, are you okay?" Take your boots off! ”
By this time, Kenneth had several small holes in the boots on his feet, and there were already blood stains in the seams of the boots. After hearing Thor's words, Kenneth took off his boots in pain, only to see that there were already more than a dozen penetrating wounds on a pair of large feet, gurgling blood.
At this moment, two huge pillars of wind rose in front of Kenneth and Thor, and Kenneth could only grit his teeth and push Thor away, and he was blown into the air by these two whirlwinds.
"Kenneth!!" Thor shouted, with a staff in his hand, and immediately cast a magic flame shield to protect his body from a sneak attack.
Standing on the canyon, Douglas and Sivari showed their figures, seeing that Kenneth had been controlled by the whirlwind, without any carelessness, a fire fourth-order magic array appeared in front of the black and white staff in Douglas's hand, and it had been condensed in just five seconds, and a fire phoenix much larger than the ordinary fire phoenix flew out of the magic array, and rushed towards the wind pillar that trapped Kenneth, turning around from top to bottom, the blazing flames on his body immediately surrounded the wind pillar, and the powerful flames devoured the wind element, completely turning into a pillar of fire that reached the sky, The powerful heat wave actually blew Thor out and slammed into the scorching stone wall behind him, but Thor couldn't care about this, his eyes were fixed on the pillar of fire, and he shouted, "Kenneth!! ”
A minute later, the pillar of fire slowly dissipated, but to the shock of Douglas and Sivari, a naked teenager fell to the ground, but there were no burns on his body, but he was even more energetic!
But Thor was overjoyed, forgetting the pain behind his back and rushing to Kenneth, surprised: "Kenneth, are you okay?!" ”
Kenneth got up and grinned at Thor, the injuries on his feet had healed, and he grinned, "Don't worry, I'm fine!" But can you lend me another set of clothes and a wand? ”
Without saying a word, Thor immediately took out the school robe and wand from the ring and handed them to Kenneth, who put on his robe, held the wand in his hand, looked up at Douglas and Sivari with shocked faces, and said with a dangerous smile: "It's time to settle with them!" ”
"Huh?" Before Thor could react, Kenneth had already rushed up the hill and ran towards where the two men were.
Douglas had long regarded Kenneth as the same height as himself, and seeing Kenneth rushing towards where he was, he had secretly pinched an engraved gem in his hand, and the staff in his hand had already appeared with a third-order magic array, ready to deal with Kenneth with all his might.
However, at this moment, Sivari, who had been behind Douglas, suddenly used the additional magic primary space to move and disappeared behind Douglas.
"What?" Douglas was stunned by Sivari's betrayal, and even the magic circle that had been condensed almost dispersed.
However, now Douglas didn't have time to care about Sivari's escape, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he unleashed the magic "Piercing Array" that had been prepared, only to see that the forty-meter ground with Douglas as the center of the circle was full of sharp spikes up to three meters long, enough to penetrate any opponent who stepped into it.
Douglas Murphy, ranked third on the star list in the Hexagram School of Magic, nicknamed "The Impaper", is best at magic that is the earth-based piercing attack magic.
But this time, he didn't succeed, and Kenneth was able to hold the spike that emerged from the ground with only his flesh, and since the spike was only made of sand, not a stone spike, it only scratched Kenneth's skin.
Kenneth pinched the two ground thorns with both hands, crushed them with force, and said disdainfully: "Compared with Senior William's iron thorns, your trick is not enough to see at all!" ”
After saying that, Kenneth jumped up on a spike and pounced straight at Douglas in the center!
Although Douglas was surprised that Kenneth was not stabbed by the ground, he quickly regained his composure, seeing that Kenneth was only five meters away from him, Douglas immediately launched his fingertips to engrave the topaz, and used the magic "stone spear to resist the horse", and a third-order magic array of the earth system immediately unfolded, only to see the ground in front of Douglas tremble, and then dozens of stone spears lined up pierced into the sky, blocking in front of Douglas.
Kenneth's pupils shrank when he saw this, because it was difficult for him to adjust his body in the air, so he could only hit the stone spear head-on, but just as he was about to meet the tip of the spear, Kenneth stretched out his two hands, grabbed the head of the spear, and slammed his body into the stone spear, and then slowly slid down.
Douglas gritted his teeth, from Kenneth's actions just now, he had already seen that Kenneth was by no means an opponent that he could defeat alone, and if there was Sivari's help, he would be confident that he would fight a monster like Kenneth, but now he was single-handed, and his chances of winning were really not high.
Douglas was a decisive man, and after making such a judgment, he chose to retreat, using magic cryptology to escape into the land and disappear behind the stone spear.
And at the next moment when Douglas retreated, Kenneth had already smashed the bottom of the stone spear with one punch, but found that there was no one, although it was very regrettable, but there was nothing to be done.
So Kenneth immediately returned to Thor, scratched his head, and said, "Let them escape." ”
Thor also showed regret, but what made him even more regretful was that they were disturbed by those two people like this, and they delayed a lot of time, and the accuracy of the experiment would drop a lot.
After the two returned to the original point, Thor asked Kenneth to run in the direction of the ninety-degree angle just now, although Kenneth was puzzled, but still took Thor to run again, but because of the delay for a while, before the two returned to the original point again, the two had already appeared in the desert area.
Thor gave Kenneth a worried look, but Kenneth smiled at him and asked, "Go on?" ”
Thor was stunned for a moment, then replied with a determined look: "Go on, please!" ”
Kenneth nodded, marked the ground and picked up Thor and began to sprint at full speed, while Thor silently timed in his mind.
Two hours later, the two returned to their original location.
But Thor knew it was too late for a second experiment, so he simply sat Kenneth on the floor to rest and rehydrate and regain his strength.
"Thor, why do you want me to run again?" Kenneth asked curiously.
"Because I'm worried that it's a ring space and not a spherical space," Thor worried. ”
Kenneth was stunned: "Ring space? ”
"But as long as we're not unlucky, we should be able to rule this hypothesis out." Thor patted Kenneth on the shoulder and reassured.
"Shall we keep running later?" Kenneth asked with a bitter face.
Thor gave Kenneth an encouraging look and said, "Assuming my conjecture is correct, these four areas are wrapped in layers, then there must be its hierarchical order, and all we have to do is determine which layer is at the bottom." So, Kenneth, I hope you can hold on a little longer! ”
"Leave it to me! I'm going to stay the course! Kenneth replied decisively.
And Thor looked at Kenneth's resolute expression, but a layer of worry faintly appeared in his heart.
——————
While all the finalists were struggling in the desperate space, a black robe appeared in front of the cathedral's main hall.
The black-robed old man looked up at the delicate murals around the main hall and on the dome, and sighed, "It's so beautiful...... It's a pity. ”
Archbishop Alfred, who was guarding directly in front of the Holy Grail, looked at the black-robed comer facing him, and with a sense of foreboding in his heart, he got up and shouted and asked, "Who are you?!" How did you get here?! ”
All the Overseers and Templars immediately stood on guard, standing in front of the black-robed old man, and raised their staffs in unison.
The black-robed old man didn't take off his hood, but he had already taken out an ordinary magic wand in his hand, and sighed in a low voice: "If there is no joy in life, why not die?" No power, no power, equal power. Imperial slaves, all undead......"
Everyone looked at each other nervously, and from the gloomy and cold momentum on his body, they could feel that the old man in front of him was definitely not very human.
Just as Alfred was about to open his mouth and order the execution of this uninvited mysterious man, the dome of the main hall suddenly collapsed, and a huge bone claw fell, directly trampling Alfred into a pulp!
"Archbishop Alfred!!"
"What kind of monster is this?!"
“……”
Just when everyone was in a panic, the corners of the black-robed old man's lips, which were not covered by the hood, turned up almost imperceptibly, and he said, "Prepare for the 'Day of Fair Judgment'......"
A sixth-order magic array had already emerged under his feet.
On November 17, 505 A.D., the Cathedral of Castro was attacked, killing all the people who were guarding the Holy Grail from Archbishop Alfred to him, and the Holy Grail was missing.
A storm is approaching that will sweep through the empire.
