Chapter 15 The Underground Palace
Chapter 15 Underground Palace
At the well of the seal, looking at the broken quarter seal, Weiss felt uncomfortable.
Looking into the well through that gap, it was pitch black, and there was no echo, and it was so quiet that it was panicking, like some terrifying demon's lair, and a monster could poke out its sharp claws at any moment!
Weiss was worried, and said to Al with some hesitation: "Eyre, do you really want to go down?"
Like Vess, Al was staring at the darkness in the well through this fan-shaped gap, but even with El's powerful vision, he couldn't see through the darkness.
Aier frowned slightly, then closed his eyes, put his perception to the maximum, and penetrated into the well little by little, only to find that the darkness in the well was like a quagmire, and spiritual exploration was greatly hindered.
Al didn't know what was going down the well, but in the battle just now, she could see clearly through the afterglow, and Karina jumped into the well without the slightest hesitation, which means that even if there may be some potential dangers, it is worth taking the risk to try!
"I can feel that there must be some secret in this Karina, and if I don't find out, I really can't rest assured!
"Then I'll go with you!" Weiss bit her lip, she didn't want Al to take the risk, but she also knew that she couldn't persuade her, so it was better to go together!
Al sighed and said to Vess, "I know you're worried about me, but you can't use your Yuan Burst bullet for a second time in a short period of time, and if it's really dangerous, I'll have to be distracted to take care of you, what do you think?"
"But...... But ......" Weiss stammered, not knowing what to say for a moment, because Al was telling the truth.
Al smiled lightly and said to Vess, "Don't worry! I'm very strong, even if that Karina has any conspiracy, she will definitely not be my opponent, and besides, I didn't do my best when I dealt with Red Scale just now, I just deliberately played it for her!
"Okay, then...... I'll stay on it...... However, you promise me that you must be careful!" Vess finally reluctantly agreed, but he still couldn't forget to tell Al to pay attention to safety, and then after thinking about it, he took out two positioning sound metal pieces from the storage space and handed them to Elle: "If you have something, you must call me immediately!"
"Okay! In case of danger, I will definitely call you down to help me as soon as possible!" Al smiled and took the metal piece, although she knew that under the barrier of the dark power of the seal, the connection between the metal pieces would probably be interrupted, but for the sake of Anvis's heart, she still accepted Vess's kindness honestly.
"Then I'll go down, don't forget to collect the red scale demon core, that's a good thing!"
"Hmm!" said Vess absent-mindedly
The ground answered.
Al smiled and patted Vis on the shoulder, then turned around and jumped into the well without hesitation.
Vis stretched out his hand, but said nothing, watching Al disappear into the dark well.
After lying on the mouth of the well and looking at it for a long time, Weiss slowly stood up, looked at the metal piece in his hand, and then slowly walked towards the red-scaled corpse in the pile of rubble not far away.
What Ves didn't notice was that just as she turned to leave, the remaining three chains suddenly trembled at the same time, a small amplitude, even more imperceptible in the night, but it did appear!
......
Al had already imagined many possibilities before jumping into the well, and in order to avoid a possible sudden crisis, she had placed a very strong ice armor around her body, and put her spiritual knowledge to the maximum.
Aier is confident that no matter what kind of dangerous sneak attack, she can make the most effective counterattack at the first time!
However, what happened after jumping into the well surprised Ayr.
There was no danger, but the magic array in the well was a bit unexpected by El.
Just when he came into contact with the darkness in the well, Al felt as if he had passed through a water mirror, and the moment he passed through the water mirror, all his senses were confused for a moment, as if they had been reversed upside down, left and right.
Fortunately, there was no particular danger, and Aier readjusted in an instant, and by this time, Aier found that he had returned to the well, standing on the edge of the well.
Looking at the completely different scenes around him, and then at the pitch-black wellhead in front of him, Aier had already come to a conclusion in his heart: "Mirror space?"
Mirror space, the top technology of space folding magic, the magic of folding two spaces together, because the two spaces are like mirrors inside and outside, all directions are opposite, so it has the name of mirror image.
Aier looked back at the place beyond the well, and found that this was a magnificent palace, with a width of nearly 100 meters from the front and back, left and right, and dozens of tall stone pillars supporting the palace alone.
There is no sun and moon shining here, but every five meters above each stone pillar is inlaid with a power stone for lighting, although it has been unknown for thousands of years, but these power stones still emit a faint light, you can imagine how luxurious this palace should have been in the distant past.
With these faint lights, with Aier's eyesight, it was no different from daytime.
As soon as Ellius sensed it, he had already realized that Karina was not here, and then after a little thought, he set his eyes on the four chains connected to the well.
Different from the outside world four
The chain was tied to the four-attribute stone pillar in four directions, and the four chains here spread out from the mouth of the well and then extended in one direction together.
"This signpost came just in time!"
Al narrowed his eyes slightly, and walked unhurriedly along the four chains towards the depths of the palace, and in a short time came to an open arched stone door, where the four chains extended, and it was the place inside this stone door.
Al paused slightly, and continued towards the stone gate.
After crossing the stone gate, the scene in front of Aier's eyes lit up again, and it was actually a palace again!
To be exact, this is an inner hall corresponding to the outer hall, the inner hall is smaller, but the degree of luxury is far greater than the outer hall, the pillars of the temple are carved with various delicate patterns and textures, but Er's attention is not on these rich carvings, but on the double steps not far away.
On the top of the double steps, there is a chair with a black body, and there is a white bone skull on each of the armrests on both sides of the chair, and a red magic crystal is suspended in each of the two pupils of the skeleton, which flashes red slightly, which looks very strange!
There was a complete skeleton sitting on the chair, the flesh and armor were gone, a pair of bone claws were pressed on the skulls on both sides of the chair, and the skull's head was still not lowered, but looked straight ahead, even though it had been dead for endless years, only a pair of white bones remained, but there seemed to be a domineering aura lingering on his remains!
There is a dark ring on the hands and feet of the skeleton, and the chain is attached to the ring, which is the chain used for the four seals, and it is obvious that this skeleton is the existence of the seal here!
The color of the skeleton's frontal bone is different from that of the skeleton, showing a translucent black crystal shape.
Al didn't know what the black frontal bone represented, but one thing was clear to Eyre, and that was that this frontal bone was exactly what Karina was looking for!
Because under the seat, Karina was sitting there with her eyes crossed, silently chanting an incantation of unknown meaning in her mouth, and the black energy around her body flew up and down like a swimming dragon, and as the black energy on Karina's body became more and more intense, the black frontal bones of the skeleton on the seat also slowly trembled, showing that it could break out at any time!
I don't know how long Karina has been in this state, but it is clear that Karina's ritual has reached the final stage, the edge of the black frontal bone of the skeleton has gradually cracked, and the trembling of the entire frontal bone is becoming more and more obvious!
At this moment, Karina's spell suddenly stopped, her eyes opened, and the whites of her pupils were gone, as if they were black holes!
Karina's hands flew suddenly, and finally her ten fingers folded into a strange posture, and she shouted at the same time: "The soul crystal is in place!"
Just listen to a crisp sound, black frontal bone with white
The skeleton's last link finally broke, and it slowly flew towards Karina's side!
Karina's face couldn't help but show ecstasy, and she stretched out her hands to pick it up, and at this moment, Ayl, who was secretly watching, made a move!
Without warning, a wall of ice suddenly appeared, separating Karina from the black frontal bone that was about to arrive!
Karina's face was shocked, and she hurriedly stepped back, watching vigilantly as El suddenly appeared behind the ice wall and grabbed the black frontal bone in his hand!
Aier can feel that the black frontal bone contains a very huge amount of power, this power makes Aier also feel a little thrilled, seeing that this black frontal bone is still trembling in Aier's hands, struggling to escape Aier's control, Aier couldn't help frowning slightly, and easily froze this bone with cold ice.
Karina's face was like frost, her eyes that had returned to normal were full of anger, and the black energy floating around her body revealed a very terrifying murderous intent: "Miss El, what are you doing?!"
Al smiled slightly, but she was not flustered at all, and she said very calmly, "What am I doing? I would like to ask Miss Karina why she came here alone when we were fighting the Red Scales?"
Karina frowned and said: "The reason why I came here is just because I want to get what I want as soon as possible, I said from the beginning, I came here to take this treasure of the dark mage, besides, it is just a red scale, and there is no need for three people to make a move!"
Al asked rhetorically, "Really?"
Karina said angrily, "Of course it's true! I don't have to lie about it! Stop talking nonsense! Give me the soul crystal! It's our deal, isn't it?"
"Is this the name of this bone?" said El, who didn't seem to mean to return the so-called soul crystal to Karina, "It's okay for you!, but before that, can you please tell me more about it?"
