Gordon's plan wasn't complicated.

In Ancient Era, Heart of Earth is not an ability that can be used a limited number of times in a period of time, but a special ability that consumes health to activate. In the world of Telos, the Dwarven Earthheart also follows this setting. After using Heart of Earth once, it takes seventy-two hours for the consumed life source energy to be replenished.

In the real world, since there is no such thing as a health bar, outsiders who don't know the secret of the dwarves think that the heart of the earth, like other common racial special abilities, is limited by time and can only be used once every seventy-two hours.

While few people know about the secret of the Heart of Earth, for Gordon, it's just a piece of information that almost everyone in the game knows.

Since the Heart of the Earth is activated by consuming the user's life energy, even if the Gray Dwarf Travok has not fully recovered now, as long as he partially uses the power of the Heart of the Earth, he will not pose a danger to his life.

Of course, in this way, it is impossible to destroy the walls of the Golem Factory with the Heart of Earth ability, which is not fully activated, and other auxiliary means are needed.

According to Gordon's calculations, after Travok weakened the wall structure with his incomplete Heart of Earth ability, he still needed to instantly burst out with a huge energy level equivalent to the seven-ring arcane before he could break a new exit on the wall of the Golem Factory.

Gordon and Garina, both five-ring mages, want to do this with their own powers. Obviously, it's very difficult. However, with the help of magical rituals, this can be easily accomplished.

It is known though that magical rituals are useful. However, the preparation process is complex, requires a lot of materials, and takes a long time.

After deliberation, it was decided that Garina would perform the magic ritual. The red-haired female mage is from the famous Boccarios family in the Velfast region. It's a family of mages, and they have a unique knack for magical rituals. They are able to use some kind of secret method to shorten the preparation time for magical rituals. It takes a few days to prepare for the magic ceremony. Being able to pass guò is shortened to a few hours.

Gordon had already guessed that Garina had an extraordinary background, so the other party even claimed that he was from the Bocarios family, which was comparable to the Lannisters of Ferreton. There was no fuss either.

Now that the Grey Dwarf captives and Karina have taken on the responsibility of opening up new pathways, all that remains is to buy enough time for these two to complete the work.

When Karina took out a pinch of purple magic crystal powder from her dimensional pouch. Then when the ground is painted with the first rune required for the magic ritual. The Seven Sins, who suffered a big loss just after entering the Golem Factory, also have a new move.

I saw this monster floating in mid-air, like a huge sea cucumber that was rotten and festering, and a circle of miserable white magical aura burst out of its body, and it summoned three skeleton hounds.

"Necromancy?" Akinhan's eyebrows and eyes were tightly gathered.

"There's nothing strange about that. That guy was a creature created by the Great Arcanist of Nether, and it's normal for him to use spells. Gordon's face was as usual.

When he met the warrior monk Crevisy before, he learned a lot of information about the Seven Sins from the other party. In addition to using the power of the Seven Deadly Sins to manipulate intelligent beings, the Seven Sins also use the spells of the three schools of mind, necromancy, and energy molding.

Just about the talent of being a spellcaster. I'm afraid that this monster that has been artificially adjusted and optimized is even better than ordinary humans.

The intelligence of the Seven Sins is high. Gordon's estimate is probably more than twenty. It didn't take much time to find a countermeasure after it suffered its first loss, and after being hit by the Titan Golem's ruining ray, it was much smarter than the group of adventurers.

And its method, almost like Gordon's, is to summon creatures to explore and find a route to avoid the ruined miè rays.

At this time, Gordon and the others were separated from the Seven Sins by a straight-line distance of about five hundred meters. This was already more than the casting distance of most spells, and the two archers on Akinhan's side obviously did not have the ability to attack enemies from such a distance. Therefore, to stop or delay the other party's progress, you can only rely on Gordon.

Although his own spells cannot pose a threat to the Seven Sins, he can greatly extend the range of his attacks by relying on his magic pets.

Translucent ravens leapt out of the summoning circle in Gordon's palm. Its wings shook, and its wingtips made two parallel arcs in the dim environment, and it flew quickly towards the Seven Sins.

"Arcane Connection." Gordon whispered.

In the spiritual world, a double-helix chain of energy was established between Gordon and his demon pet in the blink of an eye.

Now Gordon is not the Wuxia Amon he used to be, and his combat methods are diverse, and many times he can solve the problems he faces without the help of the power of the demon pet. This time, he summoned the demon pet after a long absence, but he didn't feel any strangeness.

He calmly mobilized the mana in his mana pool, shaped it, and then channeled it to his magic pet through the guò arcane connection.

The crystal crow let out a slightly piercing chirp, its beak opened, and a stormy silver energy projectile poured out, blasting towards the Seven Sins.

Arcane Nexus can only be used three times a day, and Gordon certainly can't waste such a limited opportunity on small spells that don't work, and once he strikes, it's a Missile Storm that has been amplified by the Spell's Powerful Specialty.

This is already his strongest attack spell.

The Seven Guilty Monsters did not dare to slack off in the face of this overwhelming spell attack, and the four human faces growing on the huge tentacles showed panic at the same time, and then chanted the incantation in unison.

On this monster's body, the remaining part of the energy tentacles suddenly exploded automatically, turning into bits of gold, and then quickly gathered together to form a shield.

After the amplification, the missile storm that can reimburse one combat team at a time is blocked by the energy shield of the Seven Sins.

Although the silvery-white force field energy pried many hexagonal gaps on the thick golden yellow, it could not hurt the Seven Sins themselves.

OK. At least because of Gordon's spells, the Seven Sins didn't have time to command its summoned skeleton hounds, and the three undead creatures were dealt with by the archers around Akinhan.

…………

An hour and eighteen minutes later.

The reason why Gordon remembers the time so clearly. This is because time passes very slowly in difficult circumstances. Every movement of the second hand on the dial is painful.

Battles between casters tend to be short-lived. A successful spell counter, or just half a second faster than your opponent, can often mean the difference between victory and defeat, life and death.

However, the battle between him and the Seven Sins was not a mage battle in the traditional sense. And that man-made monster. Nor is he a mage in the usual sense of the word.

It is not Gordon's wish to get caught up in the quagmire of this protracted war. However, in order to buy time for Galina, who is preparing for the magic ceremony, she stops the Seven Sins from approaching. Gordon could only walk into the quagmire step by step.

The three arcane connections between him and the Demon Pet Raven have long since been exhausted. Although the three amplified missile storms broke through the shield defenses of the Seven Sins, and even wounded the opponent. However, this little bit of progress obviously cannot fundamentally change the situation of the war.

And the coping method of the seven sins. It's not complicated either. It continued to summon creatures to explore its path. While constantly using the plastic energy spell to attack Gordon and the others (the purpose is mainly to interfere with Gordon's party to kill their own summoned creatures).

The distance of 500 meters is like a moat for ordinary mages, but it is not a problem for those mages who have mastered the specialty of "Spell Distance Increase". Tong guò consumes more advanced spell slots and gives spells a longer range, which is the effect of this super magic specialty.

Unfortunately, the Seven Blames have mastered this specialty.

This kind of situation where he can only be beaten passively and cannot fight back makes Gordon quite helpless. And he just can't run away. You can only fight the Seven Sins head-on. And it's so good that you can't die, after using the arcane joint ability three times. When the demon pet crow returned, the Seven Sins also came with a counterattack that caught people off guard.

The human face that grew on its body, which represented the sin of "gluttony", screamed coldly. The sound waves condensed from high-frequency arcane energy were layered and struck towards the crystal crow.

Although Gordon's pet was fast and agile, it couldn't dodge the tsunami-like attack.

The moment the crystal crow was drowned out by the arcane sound waves, it barely came within the master's control range, and was then retracted by Gordon, but it was still hit.

The injuries were not severe, but they also caused a lot of trouble for Gordon.

As the master, Gordon instantly felt a crazy and extreme aura flowing into his consciousness world, as if a voice said to him: "You are hungry...... I can't stand the hunger...... Eat! Eat all the qiē! ”

The dream-like magic sound was so demagogic that Gordon managed to resist this evil power, driven by the most primitive desires of human nature. In addition to the strong willpower I have, this gluttonous desire for guilt was indirectly transmitted to Gordon through the Guò Demon Pet, and it was discounted a lot, which was much better than being directly hit by the tentacles of the Seven Sins.

Rao was like this, and Gordon also coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood in return.

Then in the ensuing tug-of-war, he used up his mana, drank the mana potion, and finally turned on the blood mage ability, and almost converted more than half of his life force into arcane power, before finally persevering for more than an hour.

Whether in bed or on the battlefield, Gordon felt that he had enough staying power as a mage to outperform most people.

The energy in Gordon's body was exhausted, his body was soft and dizzy, and his vision had begun to blur. The person who took over his duties at this time to resist the incessant bombardment of the Seven Sins was the petite Ainia. However, although this Ice Elf Queen is a warlock who is proficient in ice attribute spells, in terms of the breadth of spells, she cannot be compared to Gordon. The Seven Sins, who are proficient in the spells of the three schools and have mastered many types of spell abilities, quickly made Ainia clumsy.

By this time, the two archers in the team were almost running out of arrows in the quiver.

Those shattered undead summoned creatures, white bones scattered all over the ground. Although Gordon and his party have tried their best to stop it. However, the Seven Sins also used summoned creatures to slowly find a way forward in the gap between the many ruined miè rays. It was approached to a distance of about two hundred meters from Gordon and the others. On its body, the energy tentacles that had been destroyed had regrown a little, and they were swinging hungrily and greedily.

Obviously, this monster didn't just want to kill those humans, but wanted to eat them and suck up the life source. Strengthen yourself.

Fortunately, there is some good news in this unfavorable shape.

"My dear. Aren't you okay yet? Akinhan shouted.

The age difference between the couple is relatively large, and it belongs to the standard uncle-girl pairing, but the relationship is very good. Even at such a critical juncture, two people call each other. It's also you and me who give people goosebumps.

The staff in Gallina's hand was raised high: "It's coming." My lover! ”

With that, her staff paused heavily, and the circle that had been drawn on the ground suddenly emitted a brass-colored metallic glow. The incense burns automatically, and the intricately arranged fruits and branches turn into drops of light that merge into the entire arcane current.

In the environment where the arcane energy was rapidly increasing, the candles placed around as ritual offerings began to burn faster, and the flames flickered.

The gray dwarves saw this. Muttered, and walked over to Gallina. What happens if you are caught by the Seven Sins. He knew it, so he had to do his best to help Gordon complete his plan and escape from here. He half-crouched, his left hand lightly touching the ground, and in a slow, low incantation, his palms and fingers turned into rocks, becoming one with the earth.

Under the influence of the Gray Dwarf's Heart of Earth ability, the ground under his feet, which had been strengthened by the ancient Nether arcane, began to soften, and the metal-like surface, which was originally as bright as a mirror, began to re-reveal the color of the rock itself.

"Human, quick!" Travok roared.

At this time, on the top of Gallina's head, with the massive amount of magic gathered by the magic ritual, she had completed the spell.

A huge palm made of pure magic appeared out of thin air, glowing with a brassy sheen.

Garina raised her staff again, shook it slightly, and then downwards a little.

The magic giant smashed into a fist and slammed it down, instantly kicking up billowing dust and a large number of flying stones. Although it has not yet reached the standard of shaking the earth, the huge noise has also been heard by Gordon.

"Karina has opened the way, let's retreat!" Akinhan was beaming, and he couldn't wait to get out of this hard tug-of-war and join his fiancée.

However, it is not so easy to get out completely.

The Seven Blames apparently noticed a change in things. Seeing that the fat prey that reached its mouth was about to slip away, it was naturally unwilling and launched a crazy counterattack. All of a sudden, the overwhelming fireball lightning and all kinds of arcane beams that disrupted the mind and manipulated the mind all came towards this side.

"Akinhan, please."

In the face of the crisis, Gordon was chic, and threw the responsibility of breaking off to the knight with a light sentence, and then pulled Ainia and Sigrid by himself and ran to join Gallina.

It's not that Gordon doesn't pay attention to righteousness, but it was originally part of the plan to let Akinhan break off.

As a thoughtful mage, how could he not think about such a thing.

The large round shield in the knight's hand made a great contribution at this time. I saw Ajinhan raise his hand and throw his big round shield into the air.

Under the master's command, the round shield instantly expanded and became larger, not only blocking most of the spell attacks of the Seven Sins, but even rebounding those various energy beams.

Thanks to this shield, which can be large or small, and can not only resist but also rebound spell attacks, the group left the battlefield smoothly, and then drilled into the newly opened hole in the ground. At the end, Gordon took out the Architect's Staff and resealed the gap.

Although the strength of the re-repaired ground was far less than before, after an hour of hard fighting, the Seven Sins, who were also close to the limit, did not have the ability to break the rock wall in a short period of time, and it would take at least a day or two to recover. In this way, Gordon and his party will have plenty of time to get rid of the Seven Guilty Monsters.

Seeing a group of people, especially the mage who had wounded him, escape from the Golem Factory and disappear from his vision, the Seven Sins let out an unwilling roar, and all four faces showed distorted expressions of rage.

It also wanted to stay in the Golem Factory for a while, to see if it could continue to follow the clues to catch up with Gordon and the others. But at this time. Suddenly there was a low roar from the distance overhead.

The voice seemed to ignore the distance and physical barriers, and went straight to the depths of the Seven Sins' hearts. The twisted creature shuddered. Section by section, the body contracted dramatically with fear.

It hesitated for a moment, but the fear of the roar prevailed, and it hurried out of the Golem Factory, disappearing into the darkness......

Gordon, on the other hand, was in the process of declining at this time.

Originally, according to common sense, Gordon should have chosen to go up, but now he is doing the opposite. Continue down, getting farther and farther away from the top of the target's mountain. But it was a decision he had made after carefully recalling the map of the Floating City.

Underneath the Titan Golem Factory. It's the Elemental Emperor Asaph. The library of the Floating City, designed and built by His Majesty Augustus himself, is called the "Hundred Thousand Sacred Scrolls". At its peak, there were thirty-three Imperial Grand Arcanists who had reached the Legendary Realm, and more than a thousand high-level mages above the Seven Rings. In order to read the books in the library. And came to settle in the floating city.

The name "100,000 Holy Scrolls" is not an exaggeration or self-promotion, but rather a statement of the fact that there are indeed more than 100,000 magic books in this great imperial library, which can be called holy scrolls in the minds of every mage.

Of course, the library is now empty and dilapidated. The quintessential knowledge of the Magic Empires of yesteryear. If he can leave a few words and wait for Gordon to discover, he has hit the big luck.

Gordon's reason why he wanted to go to this library. It is because there is a teleportation circle in the hall, which leads directly to the bedroom of His Majesty the Elemental Emperor. If this teleportation circle can be repaired, it can save a lot of travel.

The wall between the Titan Golem Factory and the "Hundred Thousand Sacred Scrolls" library is about three meters thick. After the weakening of the ability of the gray dwarf Earth Heart, combined with the giant Big Flying Palm summoned by Galina's magic ritual, it was easy to open a path.

The two mages blessed everyone one by one, and then went through a gentle descent process, and everyone's feet once again stepped on the solid ground.

While still in mid-air, Gordon was able to see his surroundings clearly with the help of illumination.

The library, known as the 100,000 Scrolls, is a massive circular structure that is twice as large as Gordon's memory of the Moon Opera, which the federal government is proud of as a landmark. The 100-meter-high walls are all used to store books, and a whole wall is a huge bookshelf. Overhead, thousands of stone pedestals and stone tables are arranged in a neat radial ring, and in the center, there is a huge circular pedestal, on which a dimly lit crystal ball is suspended.

Because the desks and chairs in the library are fixed to the ground, even if they are upside down, they are firmly attached to them and do not fall with gravity.

This is the first time that such a structure, which is almost intact, has been encountered since Gordon entered Mount Waisula.

"Looks like we're lucky." Akinhan grinned.

"Agreed, at least I can rest in peace." Gordon nodded.

But as soon as everyone's feet stepped on the curved dome of the library, Gordon knew that he had misjudged.

The huge library seemed to have life, and it sensed the arrival of a group of high-ranking people. The dome at his feet suddenly emitted a bright and soft white light, gradually illuminating the entire interior of the building.

"There are no candles, no magic lamps, and the stone itself is used to illuminate the light. This is the magic technology of the Ancient Nether Empire! ”

Before Gallina's admiration was over, a woman's indifferent voice suddenly sounded.

"This library prohibits the take-out of a qiē book. In order to prevent theft, a qiē space type spell is forbidden. Prepare your readers......"

"What?"

Before Gordon and the others could react, let alone make any preparations, they saw that the crystal ball placed on the central stone seat above their heads suddenly bloomed into a light blue circle of light.

Jingle bells......

There was a murmur in Gordon's ears, and then he was surprised to find that all the items in his dimensional bag were pouring out of it like a fountain.

Not only him, but other people who hold dimensional bags have also encountered this situation.

For a while, there were all kinds of messy things scattered around the ground, and the number was constantly increasing. (To be continued......)
