Chapter Seventy-Five: The Mirror Labyrinth
Syndicate Lair.
Link and his party walked along the passage, and after walking for hundreds of meters, a hall appeared in front of them, and if you look closely, this is the place where they found the cursed magic array before.
"We're coming back again, we're going to be trapped here." Militia Captain Yaksa's voice was high, and a face was full of despair and horror.
After walking back into the hall for the third time, he was on the verge of a breakdown with the worst emotional control. The others were frowning, and despair was growing in their hearts.
"Okay, don't panic, let's rest first." Link's voice was as calm as ever.
There was a rudimentary table and chair next to the hall, Link walked over and sat down, and then a light emanated from his wand, which shot at the table in front of him, and when the light dissipated, bread and water appeared on the table.
Of course, this was taken out of the space pendant, but Link covered it up with magic: "I can use magic to make food and water, even if we are stuck here all the time, we won't starve!" What we have is time to figure it out. ”
There is a lot of food in the pendant, and it is estimated that it can feed 6 people for about half a month, and after half a month, Link doesn't believe that he can't find a way to get out.
Even if the food is eaten up, it doesn't matter, because he will also use an elemental healing move, although this trick is a healing technique, but his role is to replenish the body's consumption, maintain the balance of the body's elements, and it is actually okay to use it as food.
In fact, magicians have specialized food and water creation techniques, and Link has not learned them. And the magician, if he wants, can even skip eating and keep giving himself elemental healing.
In a word, as long as Link has magical powers, the six of them will not starve to death even if they are trapped in the cave for the rest of their lives.
With his hole cards in hand, Link is very calm.
The real bread and water, coupled with Link's words, immediately calmed everyone's emotions, and they were trapped, and what they were most afraid of was that there was no food and water, but now these are not a problem, and everyone was immediately relieved.
As for Link's statement that he can use magic to make bread and water, everyone has no doubts, rumored that magic is omnipotent, what is it to make a little food?
Ark sat down, picked up a piece of bread and ate it, took a few bites, and he was pleasantly surprised: "Hey, it tastes exactly the same as the bread made by John, it's delicious!" ”
Link chuckled, isn't that what John did.
And when they had gone all the way, they were all hungry, and they all sat down around and ate bread.
After eating and drinking, everyone's mood was soothed, and even the militia captain Yaksa, although his face was still not good, seemed to be fine.
During this time, Link carefully observed the situation around him.
This is the rotunda Yes, the destroyed magic circle on the ground still has clear traces, and the exit is there, but when they walk out along the exit, they will eventually walk back to this hall through the same exit when they feel like they are moving forward.
As for the exit from the cave, it has completely disappeared.
The situation was incomprehensible, and it was no wonder that the militia captain panicked, in fact, the likes of Ark, Anduson, Lucy, and Grindandan were not much better, they all looked at Link and waited for him to come up with an idea.
Link didn't observe anything for a while, and after resting for a while, he stood up and said, "Let's walk again, this time walk slowly." ”
The crowd had no choice but to keep walking.
Along the way, Link carefully felt the changes in the passage, and when the group came to the place where the cave exit should be, Link stopped, and he carefully observed the passage in front of him.
The passage seemed to be normal, but for some reason, after many observations, Link felt an indescribable sense of strangeness, it should be a sense of familiarity.
Link just stopped in the passage, squinting, and in his mind's eye, the memories of their previous walk through the passage played like a holographic movie, every detail was restored, and then compared to the passage in front of him bit by bit.
Finally, Link found out what the problem was.
This passage in front of him should be a mirror image of the passage he is in!
In other words, there is a person, or some kind of power, in the place where it should have been the exit of the cave, put down a strange 'mirror', this mirror is different from the mirror of reality, the world in the mirror can be walked into!
Before, Link and the others had walked into the mirror over and over again, then back to the hall, then to the exit, and then into the mirror back to the hall, and so on.
This 'mirror' magic is cast so perfectly, even the 'joints' have been carefully retouched, and the texture of the rock wall is too much to see the slightest dissonance, everything is natural.
But all of this, in the end, did not escape Link's astonishing insight.
He remembered a magic: spatial mirroring.
Spatial mirroring
Level 11 Legendary Illusion Magic
Function: Create a scene of a space scene, connect it with the real space, and form a closed space ring.
(Note: Essential magic to create the ultimate labyrinth!) )
In the previous game, Link was promoted to legend, and after learning this magic, he played it superbly, and when he played against players in the game arena, he liked to use this magic to tease his opponents the most. In many online battle live broadcasts, Link used this magic to play with his opponents between applause, and the various routines that controlled people's hearts were dirty and outrageous, and he was named the Great Demon King of the Labyrinth.
But that's the game, and a little closer inspection reveals signs of forgery, but here, the spatial mirror image is almost flawless, enough to make one die of despair in an endless loop.
This is legendary magic, with Link's current strength, there is no way to break through, thinking about it for a while, Link knows that he now has two choices, the first is to dig an extra passage from the seam of the mirror, for the six of them, this is not difficult.
However, there is also a risk that after they have dug the passage, the entrance of the passage will be covered by mirrors again, which will be in vain and will reduce the morale of the team to freezing points.
The second option is to go all the way to the deepest part of the passage and see what new things can be discovered.
This method is dangerous, but since it is to clear out the syndicate thieves, how can there be no reason why it is not dangerous, Link thought about it for a while, and then chose the second way.
"My lord, did you find anything?" Ark asked.
Link nodded and said, "We're trapped by a very powerful magic and can't escape, but it's not like we're out of the woods. Now, let's go back, to the deepest part of this cave, and maybe there will be a turnaround. ”
Being able to unleash legendary magic means that there are legendary powerhouses, and the only legendary powerhouse that may appear in this cave at this time can only be Morpheus, the mastermind behind the syndicate.
But Link was sure that Morpheus himself was definitely not here, otherwise he would have needed to use spatial mirror magic to pinch them to death with a single finger.
Link deduced that Morpheus was not in the cave, but there should be his altar here, so some of his power was able to extend here, and only then did he construct this spatial mirror.
There is also an inference that the power he can extend over is definitely not much, because the spatial mirror is not an energy-consuming magic, what it needs most is the understanding of space, if the opponent extends enough power, the opponent can also easily catch them, why play with such a small means?
With such a reasoning, Link was determined in his heart, it was just a trace of power tentacles of a legendary powerhouse, and he was not without a chance.
At this time, the exit was closed, and everyone had no other way, it was impossible to do nothing and wait for death, except for the timid Yaksa, who was still hesitating, everyone else agreed to go deeper into the cave.
Yaksa didn't dare to stay alone, so she could only follow everyone.
The group walked back, and soon reached the previous hall, where another passage led to the depths of the cave, which was also the direction in which the previous undead had advanced.
As before, Ark raised his shield and stepped forward, Link lit the Light Spell, and the group protected him in the middle, all the way to the depths of the mine.
This time, they didn't encounter any strange circumstances.
Along the way, there are many stone chambers of different sizes along the passage.
Among these stone chambers, there are the residences of ordinary syndicate thieves, weapons rooms, storage rooms, and several lavishly decorated stone chambers, which are supposed to be the residences of the heads of the syndicates.
At this time, syndicate thieves began to appear, but these are all ordinary members, the highest is only level 2 ordinary thieves, although the number is more than Link and others, but the combat effectiveness is far inferior, and it is not the opponent of 6 people at all.
Along the way, Link and his party pushed all the way to kill more than 30 syndicate thieves. The only terrible thing is that after these 30 thieves died in battle, no matter how many injuries they were, they all stood up strangely and walked towards the deepest part of the cave.
Even if you cut off their heads, it's useless, it's weird to the extreme.
Link felt very bad, and after killing another thief, he said, "Cut off their hands and feet, and don't let them come back to life." ”
He thinks there's a conspiracy in this!
Everyone was also panicked by this little strong undead, Link said this, after meeting the syndicate thieves again, they were much more cruel, after killing the opponent, cut off their hands and feet, and cut off their heads, eager to divide these guys' bodies.
"Damn, they're still alive and moving!" Yaksa had an exaggerated look of horror on her face.
Indeed, it was terrifying to see a body with no hands, no feet, no head, almost a lump of flesh like a snail, slowly wriggling, arching into the depths of the cave little by little, and the hands and feet that had been cut off were still moving, and they were also moving into the depths of the cave.
"Burn them!" Link is also seeing this scene for the first time, and there is no such bloody scene in the game that can only be seen in a restricted blockbuster.
So they burned it with fire.
When these corpses, nay, to be precise, the corpses were engulfed in the raging fire, they were still trying to struggle, even if their flesh was burned with oil, and they still arched into the depths of the cave until they were finally burned to charcoal, and then finally came to a standstill.
“”
Everyone was speechless.
A question popped up in everyone's minds, what the hell is hidden in the deepest part of the cave?
