He turned and looked at the tightly closed metal gate behind him, his brow furrowed again, and Artoria was still trying to make an effort in front of the door, but both of them were at a loss, and there was nothing they could do about it.

"Could this be the real treasure room, which requires a specific key to open?" Artoria crouched down, he took off his gloves and fumbled carefully for the door, "It's written about danger, just to make us retreat...... Strangely, there's not even a keyhole on it. ”

"Whether your speculation is true or not, we'll have to find a way to open it first." Asher continued pacing back and forth, muttering.

He turned around for a while, and couldn't think of any clue, so he had to go back to the door again, carefully looking at every minute corner of the door, the last time in the Death Mine, Asher used a stone slab to open the last door of the secret room, but this door does not have a groove that can be embedded into the stone slab, not even a keyhole.

"It's better to wait for Vivien to come over, and we'll let him try it again." Artoria let out a dejected breath and said with some discouragement, "We haven't gotten anything that might have anything to do with this gate since we came here, and we don't even know what's behind it, so there's no way to think about it." ”

Asher bowed his head in silence, he stretched out his right hand and leaned against the door, his fingertips tapping lightly against the metallic lines.

"There's another way."

Ashur looked up, his eyes flickering slightly.

"It's just going to be a little dangerous," Asher put his staff back in his hand and waved his teammates back away, "You stand back, I'll force it open with some offensive spells." ”

"Are you really going to do that?" Artoria was stunned. He smiled wryly and stepped back, "I think it's more like a bad idea that Ivrea can come up with, and to be honest, it's not too cautious. ”

"But that's all we can do." Asher said with a shrug.

Gentle spells such as lockpicking can't break the locks, traps, or seals on this door, so Asher will have to use some rough means, and Asher has found out that this metal is just ordinary pure gold, and if there is no other special protection on the door, Ashur can easily destroy it.

Magical Threading plus Dissociation is more effective than any lockpicking.

Asher raised his staff. The luster of the spell slowly condensed on the tip of the staff, and just as he swung the staff and was about to cast a spell, Ashur suddenly stopped moving, and a moment later, he lifted the magic.

"You mentioned Ivrea, and I realized that we might have a better means." Asher re-staffed, took a deep breath, and began to bless himself with a spell shield. Protects against flame enchantments, mage armor, and Arcane armor.

Artoria, who had retreated to the corner, watched in astonishment as Ashur blessed himself with ** layers of armor layer by layer, knowing that with Ashur's spell strength, the combined shield value of these shields was probably millions. And Asher hasn't stopped, and he's constantly blessing himself with protective spells until he reaches the upper limit of twelve.

"You look like you're going to hit the door with a nuclear bomb yourself." Artoria sighed.

"Almost." Asher smiled faintly, then cautiously reached out his hand. Aiming at the distant gate, a dazzling light flashed in the palm of his hand, and a scorching flame roared up. An extremely fiery red color flashed from Ashur's hand, and Ashur threw it out in the next instant.

"Boom!"

The surging heat wave instantly swept through the entire room, causing the temperature around him to rise rapidly, and Artoria was caught off guard, almost being sprayed in the eyes by the actual flames, and he hurriedly protected his face.

"What the hell is this, aren't you an arcane mage?"

"It's not a fire spell, it's a prop." Asher watched as the phoenix god's feathers slid lightly in mid-air, approaching the thick metal gate, he smacked his tongue and looked down at the mana shield in his hand.

Summoning it is a very dangerous thing, the damage of this thing is too alarming and uncontrollable, Asher must be very cautious, but it is precisely because of its unrivaled destructive power that he can complete this task, as long as the gate is forcibly melted, any mechanism will be burned in an instant.

This is a lot better than arcane magic, which has more than enough impact and is slightly less destructive.

The phoenix god's feathers did not disappoint Ashur, before it could touch the gate, Ashur could see the metal on the pure gold gate twist clearly, with a soft snort, the feather path directly touched the gate, and suddenly all the metal began to disintegrate like ice and snow melting, and a large hole was burned in a short time.

"Oh my God, what are you?" Artoria was stunned in the back, "That's pure gold, it's completely burned out, and there is not even a bit of slag left." ”

Ashur's eyes followed the feathers of the phoenix god all the way, and he watched with shame as it burned a hole in the gate and fell downward, and when it fell to the ground, it scorched the ground and melted into a large pit almost without hindrance, burrowing deep into the ground.

Asher hurriedly rushed forward, scooped it up with one hand, and stuffed it into his backpack.

"Let's go inside." Asher wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and bent down to take the lead in the big hole in the door.

Ashur once again had a new insight into the feathers of the phoenix god, its strength was stronger than any prop-type item Ashur had ever seen, even he had never heard of a few such things, if Ashur could use it like an arm, he believed it would be more powerful than any spell, but unfortunately it not only hurt others but also hurt himself.

After returning this time, he planned to find a special time to study if there was any way for Ashur to control it remotely.

Artoria followed Asher into the gate, and when he got inside, Ashur looked up, it wasn't a secret room or a warehouse, as he had thought, but a narrow passage behind the door.

Ashur and Artoria looked at each other, the warrior nodded, shouldered the tower shield, and slowly walked forward with the greatsword in hand, Ashur raised his staff and followed.

"Roar!"

Suddenly. A violent roar was like a flat-bottomed thunderbolt, exploding throughout the passage, and through the reflection of the wall, it became extremely deafening, and both Asher and Artoria were shocked, and subconsciously took a few steps back, with a look of shock in their eyes.

"How can there be monsters here?" Artoria clenched her greatsword and turned back to Asher in shock.

"I used the detection spell just now, and I didn't detect any monsters, let's go and see." Asher calmed himself. Said in a deep voice.

The two of them walked more cautiously, the passage was not long, and after going around a corner, another gate appeared in front of them, and after Ashur looked at it, he stepped forward and burned it with the feathers of the Phoenix God again.

This time Artoria was the first to enter the gate, followed by Asher, after entering the gate. Asher straightened up, directly startled by the sight in front of him.

In front of the two of them was a huge hall, which was extremely empty. Only in the center stands a large statue of a human male wearing tight leather armor and a black cape, covering his face with a mask. Typical of the rogue's professional attire, the statue is very delicately made, as if it were a long time ago.

"Edwin. Statue of Van Cleef. How could there be anything deep underground? Asher turned his head and looked around, "Where did the monster cry we heard just come from?" ”

Artoria patted Ashur, then pointed to the left side of the room.

Asher followed his gaze and his eyes widened.

On the left side of this hall, in an inconspicuous corner, there was a black ball, curled up there, and Asher didn't pay attention to it at first, until it shook a few times under his gaze, and Asher suddenly realized that it seemed to be a living thing.

The creature crouching in the corner seemed to notice that someone was looking at it, and looked up at Asher and Artoria, the thing had fluff all over its body, and the presence of its limbs was invisible, if you didn't count its dirty and dirty body, it was very fluffy and cute, and its purple-black eyes revealed a little human confusion.

"It still has eyes." Artoria was stunned, "It's very intelligent." ”

"That roar couldn't have been from it." Ashur said with a wry smile. "I look a bit like a fetus of Warcraft."

The deafening roar outside the door just now was really terrifying, and Yashu's first reaction was that there was an extremely fierce, bloodthirsty and violent monster inside, at least it had to be epic or above, but when he walked in and took a look, he found that there was actually this living creature here, which was completely inconsistent with the roar just now.

"Just look at it." Artoria waved her hand, then tentatively walked towards him.

The ball of fur was cowered in a corner, and from time to time it made a faint cry, as if it were harmless, but when Artoria tried to take a step and try to approach it, it immediately stood up vigilantly, raised its hair, and stared viciously at the uninvited guest in front of it.

Ashur was standing behind, and he didn't care about it, but in the next second, his eyes suddenly widened, and Ashur clearly saw a layer of rich red light and shadow appearing on its body, and he immediately wanted to speak out to stop Artoria-

Large strands of crimson light poured out of the black hairball's body like blood, quickly condensing into a dazzling river of light on its surface, and then they transformed into a ferocious illusory monster, a huge rhinoceros with horns on its head, staring at Artoria with angry eyes and a low, threatening roar.

Artoria was startled, subconsciously raised her sword, and took a few steps back nervously.

The radiant rhinoceros didn't attack or charge, it hovered above the black furball, glaring at Artoria, and the black hairball stood on end with its hair, as if trying to maintain something.

"This is the red-horned giant rhino, they are at least epic monsters of the ancient bloodline, and now this is an illusion or a state type spell of substance? If that's true, then I'm afraid I'm going to have to be busy. Artoria asked nervously as she retreated all the way to Asher's side, holding her sword in vigilance.

He had seen the Beast Soul Shaman Prophet use similar skills, and after being possessed by the beast souls of those fierce beasts, his attribute power increased wildly, and he also gained many tricky abilities, Artoria had never directly fought against the Beast Soul Shaman Prophet, but he knew how powerful this kind of skill was.

"It's mostly an illusion, but I'm not sure...... Wait, I remember what this thing is. Asher said with a frown, and then a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Hurry up, grab it! Don't let it run! ”

Ashur shouted with his eyes shining, and then immediately rushed forward with his staff in hand, and halfway through, a flashing spell appeared directly beside the black furball, ignoring all the red light, and grabbed it directly-

The black furball was startled, and the red light collapsed in an instant, and it shrank back, suddenly like a cloud of black ink, dissolving into the darkness in the corner, and Ashur grabbed the air, and could only watch it disappear, he straightened up and continued to look at the other corners of the room.

But a second later, the black furball flashed out of thin air in another corner, and continued to curl up there, watching the two of them vigilantly and anxiously.

"Did you bring a spell item for catching pets?" Asher turned to Artoria and asked.

"Catching pets? No, I don't carry this with me. Artoria shook her head, "What, you want to tame it?" Don't you already have the Sea Lord Barak, this thing can be compared to a demigod-level monster? ”

"I have, but you and Vivien don't." Ashur smiled and said, "This is also our chance, this pit is full of treasures, this thing can be worth a whole big treasure, go grab it!" ”

Artoria was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the black furball's expression changed, Ashur's statement about its value was too exaggerated, and having been a brother and teammate with Ashur for so long, Artoria knew Ashur very well as a person.

He generally doesn't exaggerate to describe something, so ......

He immediately unloaded the tower shield and greatsword, threw it aside, and rushed towards the black fur ball that was cowering in the corner, and Asher immediately ran in the other direction, trying to block it.

"What kind of monster is it that would make you have such a high rating." Artoria asked as she rushed over at great speed.

Unfortunately, this time he still pounced, and the hairball turned into a black shadow again and burrowed into the darkness.

"It's still about thieves and shadows, but it's not like the Shadow Armor that only benefits thieves." Asher explained in a hurry as he rushed to the next place where it appeared.

"With it, you'll be able to go anywhere you want in no time.

"Oh my God, why can't I catch it all the time?"

Asher and Artoria tried for nearly half an hour, but they didn't succeed in catching the black furball, and every time they approached, it immediately melted into the darkness in the corner, and then appeared in another corner not far away, continuing to stare at the two of them vigilantly.

At first, Ashur also tried to predict where it would appear, and then went over in advance to prepare for the capture, but unfortunately this hall was too big, Ashur and Artoria were only two people, and they couldn't take care of all the places at all, the only thing to be thankful for was that it only moved in this room and did not leave.

After many futile efforts, the black furball seemed to find that Ashur and the two couldn't help it, and gradually relaxed its vigilance, squatting in the darkness in the corner, bouncing from time to time, showing a very humane sneering look at Ashur, and it seemed that it didn't care about the threat of the two at all.

"Doesn't it have a cooldown when it teleports?" Artoria gasped and sat down with his hands on the wall, "We're working in vain, we'll never catch it, its movement skills are too strong, what kind of monster is this." ”

Ashur also ran to the bottom of his physical strength, panting and sat down next to Artoria, he stared at the black furball in the opposite corner, this little thing saw that Ashur and the two finally gave up, and jumped and jumped in place with excitement, and then instantly appeared in the darkness in another corner.

As if showing off its power, it kept teleporting around the hall, even flashing in front of the two of them, and then disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The two sat on the floor depressed, helpless.

"Can't you use spells to attack or control it from a distance?" While watching the little thing jump around, Artoria said helplessly.

"It doesn't make sense." Ashur shook his head, then raised his hand, and the dazzling blue light condensed in Ashur's hand, and the ground shook with a bang, and a huge arcane impact shot out at an extremely fast speed!

Whirling blue light swept through the air at breakneck speed. Straight to the black furball in the corner of the wall, it suddenly let out a little rapid scream, like a pinball suddenly jumped from the spot, a clearly visible black shadow as it jumped, extending under its body-

Ashur's arcane impact instantly hit the black shadow curtain, and then disappeared like a stone sinking into the sea, without a single splash.

Artoria shook her head in despair.

In his opinion, this black furball has not yet shown its attack power, but his life-saving ability is already invincible, and he wants to catch it. It's a very difficult thing to do.

It has a near-cooldown, or indeed a cooldown-free displacement skill, which can instantly escape from dangerous locations, and the threat of any melee attack can be avoided, and it has this skill that can absorb spells, which means that long-range magic strikes will not work, and even Asher has just cast a spatial isolation enchantment, which was jumped away by it.

Although it does not have a particularly strong defense, others cannot catch it.

"Do you know what kind of monster this is? Tell me, at least I can tell what made me so bad. Artoria looked up at the ceiling and said with a wry smile.

He's an epic warrior, and Ashur is an epic mage. Both of them are god-level masters who can conquer a city alone, but in an underground secret room in this bottomless pit, they were pitted by a small and delicate black hairball, and they didn't even catch a single hair from beginning to end.

Asher was silent for a moment and said, "It's not a living thing. ”

"Not a creature?"

"It's now in its biological form. But it's not a monster or anything, it's a ...... skills to catch it as a pet words. It doesn't have combat power on its own and can only give you some support skills. ”

"Pure support pets?" Artoria asked curiously.

In Kadolin, pure support pets are the least popular among adventurers, some of the most powerful of these pets are equivalent to carrying a miniature version of a support professional adventurer with them, providing health, status, protection, etc., anytime and anywhere, while the weaker ones may have the same effect as a skill.
