CH.14 The Labyrinth of Doors
Carlo stood on the surface of the sea, staring at the bottom of the sea, emitting bursts of magical fluctuations that locked onto Edward's location. Even if Edward's body turned into a torrent, he could still tell where Edward was.
"Since you like to stay in the sea so much, it is better to stay in the sea forever, and for a pirate, dying in the sea is a well-deserved death." With a fierce glint in his eyes, Carlo threw another punch and slammed it into the sea.
The sound of space shattering sounded, and a crack emerged, winding like a poisonous snake, spreading rapidly in the sea. Touched by this spatial rift, both the sea and the creatures were divided into two halves. An unlucky moray eel was touched by this spatial crack, and its slender body was immediately broken in two, and wisps of blood gushed out of the wound. Strangely, the two wounds on its body were unusually smooth, like mirrors.
At the bottom of the sea, the torrent of Edward's avatar rushed through it, once again avoiding the attack of the spatial rift. With his lightning speed, dodging ranged attacks was a breeze.
Seeing this, Carlo snorted coldly, his figure flashed, and he used spatial teleportation magic, teleporting directly into the seawater, blocking the top of Edward's head. Such a close distance made his attacks extremely dangerous. He reached out his hand to Edward's area and cast a spatial magic.
Seeing this, Edward quickly paused and cast a water magic to resist.
Space Burst!
To make herculean efforts to save a critical situation!
Carlo's magic caused the space under the sea to explode like shattered glass beads. Dense cracks appeared, and hundreds of yards of water around them were torn apart by the magic. Reduced to countless pieces. Edward's magic swirled the water, forming a violent whirlpool that surged upwards.
Two magic with different attributes bombarded together, and the spatial magic obviously had the upper hand, tearing apart the whirlpool formed by the seawater. Any matter is so powerless in the face of shattered space.
"It's one of the most difficult magic disciplines to master. It's a bit hard to deal with. Edward was so troubled that he turned into a torrent and dodged out of the danger zone.
"The dignified leader of the Pirate Bay. Is it so timid? You're going head-to-head with me! Carlo teleported, approached Edward's back, and punched him. The fist slammed into the seawater, turning into cracks. Edward's body was torn apart along with the seawater.
If it were an ordinary person. Such an attack would have been a sure death, but Edward would not have died so easily. His body had turned into water, and even if it was broken into countless pieces, it could still be put back together.
Edward's body was restored as before, and he once again turned into a torrent and fled elsewhere.
"Hmph, it seems that it is useless to just cut his body open, in this case, it is better to use spatial confinement to imprison his body." Carlo's eyes narrowed slightly. Teleported towards Edward.
The two engaged in a pursuit at the bottom of the sea, with Carlo chasing after him. Edward plays for his life in front. On the surface, Carlo has the absolute upper hand and is completely pressing Edward. Compared with the foundation of magic, the two are almost the same, the difference is that the space magic is too powerful, and the magic of other departments is so powerless in front of the space magic.
Edward soon realized that this method of combat was difficult to win, so he simply rushed out of the sea and came to the surface, shifting the target of attack from Carlo to the naval fleet, intending to make a noise and make Carlo lose sight of the other. He reached out over the naval fleet and waved heavily.
Water magic. Rain of arrows!
Countless water vapor quickly condensed in the sky, and these water vapor turned into arrows and fell towards the fleet below. The arrows were swift and fierce, like an army of archers shooting.
Edward's attack did have a deterrent effect, and Carlo immediately teleported out of the seawater, casting a spatial movement magic, creating a series of rippling spatial vortices over the fleet. The arrows landed on the spatial vortex and vanished instantly, then appeared above Edward's head in a beautiful counterattack.
"Hehe, thank you for giving me back these mana." Edward smiled slightly, and opened his arms to meet the rain of arrows. The rain of arrows fell on him, and he immediately absorbed it, replenishing the lost mana.
"Since you're so fond of magic, I'll give you a little more." With a wave of his hand, Carlo created a spatial portal above Edward's head.
This portal is made up of many glowing lines that form a mysterious pattern.
The portal is connected to another portal, which is tens of thousands of kilometers apart, this one on the surface of the sea, and the other in an active volcano! The portal transports the hot magma from the volcano, and the magma falls from the sky, falling on its head and face.
Carlo has left portals in many places, many of which have been arranged in dangerous places, such as volcanoes, ice fields, deserts, etc. He can use spatial teleportation magic to teleport things from the places where those portals are located, and use them to hit enemies.
Magma, Ice, Sandstorm...... Carlo can use spatial magic to create a kaleidoscopic array of striking effects.
"I'm afraid of everything in my life, the last thing I'm afraid of is flames, these magma can't hurt me!" Edward reached out to the sky, and a large ball of water immediately appeared around his body, protecting him.
The magma fell on the water ball, and the fire and water intertwined, turning into a large amount of water vapor. The gas grew thicker and thicker, spreading out in all directions.
Carlo hurriedly released a spatial slash and slashed into the water vapor, but it was split into the air, and the cunning Edward had long since disappeared.
The two of them went back and forth, fighting in the air and under the sea for several minutes. For a strong man like them, a few minutes of battle is already a long time. During this period, Edward has always avoided fighting and not going head-to-head with Carlo, and the reason why he did this is actually for ulterior motives.
"Carlo, your spatial magic is indeed very strong. It's almost flawless, but it still has a fatal flaw. The cost of space magic is too great, and even you can't stand this kind of intense consumption. The longer you fight, the less magic you'll have. Edward sprang out of the ocean and stepped on the waves and rose into the air.
"Fool, wouldn't I have drunk potions back without magic?" Carlo snorted disdainfully, took out a bottle of potion from his bosom, and drank it.
"You're the one who is stupid, even if you drink the potion, the magic won't be restored immediately. Instead, it takes seconds to recover. These seconds are your dead end. As Edward said this, he had already rushed headlong towards Carlo, attacking for the first time. He used his magic to manipulate the waters below. Caused the sea to churn and turn into an unusually tall water elemental giant.
This water elemental giant was more than three hundred yards tall, and there were few water mages in the world who could create such a large water elemental in a short period of time.
Carlo couldn't wait for Edward to rush over, just in time to make a break. He held out his hands. The palm of the hand faced the palm of the hand, and between the palms of the hands, three disc-shaped spatial blades were condensed, and they were thrown towards the water elemental giant. The three spatial blades quickly enlarged, each fully five hundred yards wide.
The spatial blade slashed the body of the water elemental giant, and the body made of water shattered, turning into countless water droplets and falling.
Edward, who was hiding in the body of the water elemental giant, also fell. Standing on the water, slightly embarrassed. His strong counter-attack didn't seem to work. As soon as he rushed over, he was stopped, but instead of showing disappointment on his face, he smiled even more happily.
"Edward, you pirate leader, give me death as soon as possible!" Carlo raised his hand, and another spatial blade condensed in his hand.
"I'm afraid you're the one who died first, don't you think there's something strange in your body?" Edward asked mysteriously.
Carlo was stunned for a moment, felt it carefully, and soon sensed that something was wrong. When he smashed the water elemental giant just now, several water droplets were poured on him, and the magic contained in the water droplets took the opportunity to invade his body.
"Could it be...... That water element is just a front? Carlo gasped, feeling bad, and hurriedly tried to exorcise those foreign powers, but unfortunately it was too late.
The magic had seeped into his blood, and blood was a kind of water!
Edward's expression was cold, his smile was indescribably cold and terrifying, and he hooked his fingers and sighed softly at Carlo.
"Poof!"
Carlo's body exploded with a bang, stabbing out the Dao Blood Sword, and the blood in his body became a deadly weapon. The bloody sword that pierced his body made him look like a red hedgehog.
Carlo, who had been in a good situation just now, was suddenly hit hard, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
The navy had been watching the battle for a long time, and when they saw that Carlo was seriously wounded, they were all shocked, and immediately several people used different flight methods and flew into the air.
Seeing this, Edward hurriedly fell into the well, trying to further damage Carlo, repeating the magic he had just used.
It's a pity that Carlo won't plant the same heel a second time.
"Brush!"
Carlo's body vanished into thin air, retreating to a Templar ship in the fleet, which contained a powerful circle of holy light that could help him heal. The injuries were severe, but they weren't enough to kill him. When he was first hit, he had already used spatial magic to protect various vital points.
It's so hard to kill a powerful wizard.
The officers who took to the skies took Carlo's place and confronted Edward. The strength of these officers is also good, and together they are even stronger than Carlo. The cannons in the fleet also aimed at the sky, aiming at Edward.
It was not easy for Edward to inflict heavy damage on Carlo, it was no fun to defeat this naval fleet, and he had no hope of winning at all. This battle is enough to make the navy pay a little price.
"Since you want this land, I'll give it to you, but it's a rent, and it's a very expensive rent." Edward sneered, turned into a cloud of water, fell into the water, and vanished.
As he left, he secretly activated the magic array hidden at the bottom of the sea, and the surrounding waters surged violently, setting off waves of tsunamis higher than waves. The tsunami failed to destroy the fleet, but it flooded the harbor on the shore and destroyed all the buildings.
The navy of the Empire on which the sun never sets paid a certain price and occupied The Pirate Bay as it wished.
This little harbor. Changed owners for the first time in years.
Carlo stood on the boat with a calm face, looking at the undulating sea, which was more difficult than he thought. You don't have to guess to know. Edward will definitely not give up after escaping, and will definitely take revenge on them in the future by collecting the so-called "rent".
"No wonder he has been able to occupy this place for so long, even those countries in the Blade Sea dare not touch him easily, he really has some ability. Let people like him escape with endless troubles, and he will have to kill him if he says anything in the future. Carlo muttered to himself as he looked into the sea.
……
The Morning Star Continent, in a forest in the outback.
An ancient stone monument was erected on the ground. The stele was more than three yards tall and covered with green plants.
Anrui stood in front of the stele with Quasimodo and the others, and he held out his hand. Tear off the plant entrenched on the stele, revealing the handwriting on the stele. It is engraved with very old texts that date back thousands of years, a time when heroes were born. Many amazing heroes were born.
Some heroes have been transformed into heroic spirits after death. Some of them even became gods and are still revered and worshipped today.
"Quasimodo, it's up to you next, this stele is the entrance to that ancient ruin, you inject magic into it, as long as there is enough mana, you can activate this stele and open the entrance." An Rui commanded.
Quasimodo silently walked over to the stele. He raised his hand and pressed it on it, pouring a steady stream of magic into it. His endless magic came in handy. If you are an ordinary wizard, there is no way to activate this stele at all, and before you activate the stele, your magic power will be exhausted.
After a few minutes, Quasimodo's magic finally activated the stele.
The stele lit up, and a spatial portal emerged from the stele. Standing outside the door, you can only see the swirling chaotic vortex, and you can't see the situation inside clearly.
"Let's go inside. When you go in, remember to follow me, and don't wander around. There are many portals inside, some of which are safe, others that are traps that lead to extremely dangerous places. Anrui admonished.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Anrui led the crowd inside, and was the first to pass through the portal.
The scene in front of it shifted shape and changed into a different scene, and a palace emerged. The palace was magnificent, more than a dozen yards high, with many stone pillars that stretched to the end. On the walls on both sides, there are many portals. These portals have been magically activated.
The portals on both sides are combined, there are forty, but only one is safe, and the rest are all dangerous places, even if An Rui enters it, he is not sure that he will come back alive. And many portals are one-way, and you can't come back after teleporting.
This is where the danger of this ruin is, and people who don't know the terrain come here and lose their lives if they choose the wrong route.
An Rui took out the glowing stone and illuminated the hall, so that others could also see the hall.
"This is the residence of a space wizard in ancient times, who used space magic to open up many independent space worlds, and connected these worlds together, named 'Gate Labyrinth'." An Rui looked around and introduced.
"Did this wizard appear earlier, or did the natives appear earlier?" Alice asked.
"Just as early as the beginning, wizards and natives were both natives of this continent, but they were born in different regions. The place where the wizard was born was an ancient civilized city, and this group of natives was very backward in ancient times. The two sides were born on the same continent, but the degree of literacy is very different. ”
"Is the ancient civilization of the wizard still there?"
"It's gone, that ancient civilization has been drowned in the torrent of history due to some natural and man-made disasters, and now only some ruins remain. The Yama natives were not civilized, but they were preserved. Fate is sometimes so wonderful. As he spoke, An Rui had already walked to a portal, "This portal will lead to a safe place, you come with me." ”
He walked in and teleported to the next location.
This time the teleportation is to an underground cave, and the surrounding caves lead in all directions, with many forks in the road, leading to different portals. There are still many portals here, and they are still dangerous, only one door is safe, and the rest are dangerous.
Anrui led the people to the right portal and walked inside.
Through the cave, then to the ice field, through the ice field, then to the woods......
An Rui led the group through one independent space after another, each with its own characteristics. He walked very carefully along the way, for fear that he would go through the wrong portal and fall into a situation from which he could never recover. Fortunately, he remembered it clearly, and every step was right.
After passing through seven separate spaces, they finally reached the deepest part of the ruins.
This time it was a castle, surrounded by heavy stone walls, doors and a thick layer of dust on the ground. This castle is the true abode of the wizard, and his legacy and legacy are all here!
The wizard was very careful, and just in case, he laid a lot of traps in this castle, and left some dangerous things behind. In the past, An Rui could avoid dangerous places and choose a safe route to move forward, but there was no way to avoid it here, and if he wanted to get the inheritance and inheritance of power, he could only face those dangers head-on.
"Be careful, everyone, those 'things' could come out and attack us at any time." An Rui reminded. (To be continued......)
