Encountering old friends and dealing with mutant lizardmen is just a small episode on the road to purifying evil.

A moment later.

The disembowelment corpse of the mutant boss is lying on the clearing. This boss gives the charr about 5% of the level-up experience, but no drops.

The barbarian 'God of War Kuiye' and the female ranger 'Aftersound' lined up on the ground and waved off Charr to the air.

Agatha, the Lord of the Dead, did not leave, and flew some distance behind Charles and Ingrid.

There was a shiny bead in Ingrid's hand, milky white, a trace of black ray energy that was condensed like substance, and it was spreading out from the bead.

Of course, the negative energy couldn't affect the lich, she looked at it casually for a while, and then threw the bead to Charles, "This may be something that escaped from that ruin, containing a strong resentful aura, ordinary people will pick it up, and it will be transformed into an undead evil spirit in a few seconds." ”

Charles caught the bead steadily, and frowned violently.

He felt as if he was holding a ball of thorns, pinpricks and pins that spread across the palm of his hand.

However, when the palm of the hand was spread, there was no damage to the palm.

"This black ray is terrifying...... Charles turned his gaze slightly, not daring to look directly at the orb, "Is this the thing that made that monster mutate?" ”

Mayvis, who lived in the chainmail, was examining the strange bead through his limbs. Charles could perceive a soft soul power hidden between his arms, which made him feel like he was merging with an unclothed woman, two souls sharing a single body. It's a wonderful feeling of intercourse.

"What did you find?" Charles asked, suppressing the ripples in his heart.

This time, Mavis did not answer him immediately, but remained silent for a long time, until Charles and Ingrid landed in front of the glass palace. She said slowly, "I don't know what this thing is. ”

"But, inside it, I felt a very familiar aura!" Mayvis said, lost in a long thought, "You wait...... I'm searching for a record of it. ”

Charles seemed to faintly see a beautiful silver-haired woman, standing in front of a bookcase full of books, frowning and flipping through the books.

Touch your feet to the ground. Charles tossed the strange beads into his backpack and looked up at the towering glass palace.

"There have been signs of mercenaries and treasure hunters here lately......" Ingrid turned her head around before instructing the maid Agatha to follow, "You stay outside." Clean up any creatures that try to get close to the ruins. ”

"Yes." Agatha stood meticulously on the steps with her black scythe in her hand.

Charles and Ingrid walked into the palace side by side.

Walking up the endless spiral staircase, the two stopped in the stairwell on the first floor, where a small door opened on a huge white column surrounded by a staircase.

"This is the door?" There was a hint of wariness in Ingrid's eyes.

"Yes. Behind the door was a death screamer and two corpse hounds. Charles tensed his nerves, too.

Recall the profile of the death screamer. To this day, Charles still has chills in his heart.

A level 40 and a half legendary lord monster!

Charles had done a lot of preparation to deal with the Death Screamers, but the ensuing Orc War and the Evlasca story quest forced him to interrupt his activities and run around the various areas.

Even if you don't mention the Death Screamer, the other two hero-level corpse hounds have the strength to kill him.

Now Charles can only rely on Ingrid.

Thea and Leila are in their own half-plane, busy training souls to domesticate a group of prayers. It's been a long time since I took the initiative to contact him. Of course, Charles also tried not to disturb the two goddesses.

As for the ancient silver dragon Mevis. She is bound to the Mithril Armor and can only cast spells through Charles's body, which is the combat power of the Five Rings Warlock at full strength.

"Follow me—"

Ingrid grabbed the void in front of her casually, and a delicate one-handed staff was immediately held in her hand.

As soon as the metal staff with an ice-blue gem inlaid on the top appeared, Charles shivered, and instantly had the illusion of coming to a polar glacier, and there were even tiny grains of ice slag condensing in the air.

[Percussion] (2nd Ring)!

The lich held a one-handed staff and tapped lightly on the small white door, and with a bang, the void rippled, followed by the sound of something shattering.

Click.

The door opened automatically, and Charles followed the lich inside, glanced back at the door, and exclaimed, "It won't close?" ”

"The door lock is broken." Ingrid glanced back indifferently.

"There is no illusion...... Charles' face turned ugly for a while, "I guess using a spell similar to [Percussion] is the correct way to open the entrance of the ruins." The last time I recklessly pushed the door open, I must have triggered some kind of ancient magic trap! ”

And no wonder.

Before encountering the Death Screamer, Charles explored the ruins alone, and he had already planted the bane of arrogance and underestimation of the enemy, and how could he pay attention to such details as [Knocking Technique] when he pushed the door.

"You retreat to the door!" Ingrid said softly.

The pile of corpses in the corner of the hall moved, and two corpse hounds emerged from the mountain of corpses, and a faint cry could be heard from the ceiling.

Charles immediately retreated.

"Huh, the undead?"

Holding the ice-blue gemstone staff, Ingrid took a few steps forward, and the left hand hidden in the priest's robe suddenly leaned out of the ceiling, and in mid-air, the left arm suddenly changed from physical to virtual form.

"Get out!" She shouted, and continued to scrape at the ceiling, and the death screamer who had just popped out half of his head was grappled by a dark force field.

The half-legendary Void Monster struggled, roaring, and the screams vibrated in circles of sound, but the Lich who was at the center of the sound wave did not move.

Through the queue's allies status bar, Charles discovers that Ingrid has not shed a single trace of blood.

"Roar—"

Two hero-rank corpse hounds barked and pounced on Ingrid, but at this time, the lich finally unleashed the aura power she had been deliberately hiding-

"[Fear Aura]!"

Around Ingrid, wisps of gray suddenly floated within more than ten meters around her.

It stands to reason that the corpse hound belongs to the skeleton monster, has no self-mind, and does not eat the negative aura that affects the will, but a strange scene appeared in front of Charles's eyes, the two corpse hounds fell back to the ground in panic after Ingrid released the aura, and wandered around Ingrid for a while, but they never dared to go further.

In the scarlet eyes of the corpse hound, Charles discovers a deeply human fear.

"Not just an ordinary skeleton template monster?" Charles said secretly.

"Huh?"

Ingrid raised her hand to scare the two corpse hounds, but the Death Screamer was still struggling in the dark field.

"[Control the Necromancy] (Seven Rings)!"

Without any incantation, Ingrid just raised the staff in her right hand and pointed at the death screamer in mid-air, and a spell aura immediately burrowed into the undead's body.

In the blink of an eye, the Death Screamer stopped its sonic attack, and Ingrid dissipated the dark force field that bound it, but the half-legendary undead turned into an ethereal woman, meekly floating above Ingrid's head.

"Do you know the origin of this ruin?" Ingrid asked in lingua franca.

"I don't know......," the undead whispered, her cautious look like a little maid afraid of her master's punishment.

"Where is the core of the ruins?"

"Follow me."

With that, the Death Screamer flew towards a wall in the hall.

"Wait!" Charles stopped the undead and Ingrid, and pointed to the two prostrate corpse hounds, "Give me a few minutes, and I'll break these two skeletons." ”

Ingrid said casually, "You hurry up." It's getting more and more interesting. ”

[Manipulating Necromancy] (Seven Rings) is not a single spell, these two corpse hounds are within the scope of the spell, and they are naturally controlled by the Lich.

So, Charles summoned the Rotten Flails and began to swing the hammer and smash the two skeletons with a bang.

Until their bodies fell apart, the two corpse hounds remained prostrate on the ground, unable to resist the power of the [Necromancy] spell.

"8% of the experience is accounted for."

"There are no drops."

Following the undead and Ingrid into front of the huge oil painting on the wall, Charles turned his head to look back at the hall, his gaze quiet.

……

"Where am I?"

Diving into the oil painting, there is a deep and endless closed corridor in front of you.

The walls of the corridor are carved with all kinds of lifelike patterns, ranging from the winged Angel of Pengyu to the naked and enchanting Abyss Succubus, all of which seem to be watching him from far and near.

Charles' heart beat slightly.

He is equipped with the necklace 'Night Lady's Eye of Insight', and has the resident passive status of [Dark Vision] (60 feet), so it is not difficult to observe the corridor in the dark.

"I'm separated from Ingrid...... " Charles looked back behind him, it was a cold stone wall, but there was also a huge mural on the wall, he tried to touch it, but the mural didn't react in the slightest, it was cold.

"One-way."

Charles shook his head secretly, and called softly in his heart, "Mayvis, are you there?" ”

The Mithril Chainmail was silent.

The heart shrank. Charles took a deep breath and checked his spell slot.

The icons are still lit up, indicating that the magic can be used normally, and his connection with the magic net has not been severed!

"Good."

"That's enough."

Charles began to walk along the promenade and keep an eye out for the murals.

The mural seems to tell the history of the origin of the continent, from the moment of the birth of the world of Torrell, the god Io used primordial elements to create various dimensional worlds.

At the time of the first birth of the world, the land was barren and desolate, lifeless, but some elements had already bred the spirit and became the embodiment of the elements.

Later, these elemental avatars began to covet various dimensional worlds, and later sages referred to them as demon gods.

"How come I haven't heard of this history." Charles stopped in front of a mural. (To be continued.) )
