Apocalypse Chapter 49 - King Rick
"What kind of stuff? Why didn't we find out when we went in? Christina asked, puzzled.
"I don't know, but something that needs to be locked up with an enchantment like this isn't something too weak." Lena took it very seriously, "Are you sure we're going to open it?" ”
"I don't know if it was something inside that caused the earthquake. It is said that a huge explosion was generated, and it seems that this barrier contained the power of the explosion. Christina was thinking, "If you don't go in and find this thing, I don't know what else will happen next." ”
"Hmm...... In this way, I'll make an opening, let's go in as soon as possible, if we have any accidents inside......" Lena's words are creepy, what can Lena do?
"Well, since the things inside are so strong, you can't leave them alone. I just don't know when we have such a true god on earth. Paraná looked at the barrier and became emboldened. It doesn't matter what strength it has, you will know it when you fight.
"This enchantment seems to be a miniature version of the First Emperor's enchantment, and if the things in it are Apocalypse, their combat power will be reduced to a slightly stronger level than that of Master Davian. It can also cause an earthquake, and it is indeed a difficult opponent. Lena didn't care if the two of them could understand it or not, she just talked to herself.
Paraná heard the word First Emperor's Barrier again. This enchantment seems to weaken the Apocalypse's combat power.
"So how do we get out? If you're weakened when you go in, won't you be able to break the barrier? Christina was a little worried.
"I can bring a teleportation talisman that can temporarily break through the barrier of the barrier, and then we can teleport out together. Actually, there is no need to be so troublesome, this enchantment is generated by an enchanted item, we can find it and turn the enchantment off. ”
"Okay, listen to you, let's go in."
Lena chanted the spell softly, and a square hole appeared in front of them, and the two of them bent down and got in, Lena did not stop casting, and slowly recited the spell and walked in, and then the loophole was immediately sealed.
"Okay, I'm not familiar with this place, little sister, you take me to the place where you found the artifact first."
It was an ancient yellow city, and the sun shone on it, and both Paraná and Cristina activated their protective masks. The ruins of this fragment are unobstructed, and the sun is shining directly on the armor, although it is not felt by the temperature regulation system inside, but the outer surface is estimated to be able to spread eggs.
The trio slowly made their way through the ruins, wary of possible threats. There were countless white bones outside the ruins of this ancient city, although they had long been cleaned up and the weather was shining brightly, but there was still an eerie and terrifying feeling.
The three of them came to a high platform with a hole in the bottom of it, which was obviously not spontaneous. Cristina motioned for Paraná to climb in, but was stopped by Lena with a wave of her hand. Lena looked at the hole and climbed into it herself.
The space in the cave is small, and Christina's combat armor is smaller, but it can still be used. Paraná's armor was always stuck, and he wanted to brute-force it, but he found that the cave wall actually had traces of Apocalypse Gold. In desperation, I could only barely find a place to pass.
The passage slowly descended, with a slope, and without warning, Lena stopped suddenly.
"What's going on?" Paraná was behind Lena and nearly collided.
"Don't speak, there's a voice." Lena whispered, as if afraid to wake up something.
"What sound can this have?" Christina was a little scared, but she was still able to keep her composure in the end, with two people in front of her blocking the hole.
"It seems to be...... The sound of two solid collisions ...... "Lena listened for a long time, but she didn't hear any clues.
There was darkness ahead of Lena, and it seemed that Lena didn't need light to see clearly. But Bara was different, he couldn't see anything over Lena's shoulder. He was about to turn on the light, but Lena held him down.
"Don't get out of the way, there's danger ahead."
"According to the positioning, we should be almost at the place where the artifact was found." Christina's voice came from behind.
"What danger? That place must be closed. This is the only way. Paraná asked.
"You don't know, don't speak, let me hear what it sounds like."
The two obediently shut their mouths. At this time, it is still up to Lena to face the strange power and chaos.
"Isn't it...... It was like the sound of a skeleton walking......" Lena said in her usual tone, but it made the two of them shudder.
"Skeletons, skeletons?" Christina's voice trembled, "How can a skeleton walk?" ”
"Magic. It's just one type of magic. Lena seems to have seen this kind of formation, "The place where the artifact was originally placed may now be full of skeletons. ”
"So what do we do? You have a way, right? "Parana wasn't afraid of skeletons, he was afraid of things that didn't know how to take them off.
"It's still easy at this level, but the problem is the one who summoned the skeleton."
"That person?" Paraná asked softly, afraid the skeletons would hear.
"King Rick, known as the King of the Immortals. It is said that he had an army of skeletons under his command, and it was quite difficult to fight them back then. ”
"Supposedly, supposedly?" Christina asked tremblingly, and although she was very scared, as a scientist, she had to ask questions about such inaccurate statements.
"I wasn't born at that time, I was born after the unification of the Apocalypse Empire."
"What kind of strength is this skeleton? How do you kill them? Parana remembered that he was still wearing armor, and thought to himself that the bones of the skeleton were no harder than alloy.
"Cutting off your head kills you completely. It should also be easy for you. Forget it, take it one step at a time, I can't think of any plan. ”
Christina noticed that Lena's tone of voice suddenly looked like an adult. I don't know if it's caused by the strange environment or if there is a change in her heart.
The three of them slowly crawled out of the passage and came to a circular cavern, which was obviously man-made, surrounded by countless traces of Apocalypse Gold. Barana remembered what Rietotripe was talking about and asked Christina, who said that the mechanism had been cracked and that there would be no more danger.
"This is just the gateway to this underground city. You haven't even opened the door. Hearing Christina's words, Lena broke a basin of cold water for her, "Not to mention what kind of mechanism you can crack." The traps here are all controlled by the remnants of Halibik. His afterimage is also highly intelligent, and is composed of countless magic circuits, so you think of him as a computer. ”
The three of them didn't feel any skeletons when they entered here, and they couldn't help but doubt Lena's hearing. Lena said that her hearing was not on the same order of magnitude as the two of them, and that she heard voices coming from underground.
"There's no danger here, Paraná, turn on the lights." Lena began to command, "I need to preserve my strength in the First Emperor's Barrier, and this is what you can do. ”
Both of them had their armored lighting systems turned on, and for a moment the apocalypse gold on the cave wall shone like a starry sky. Lena looked at the star-like wall and cast a spell.
A hologram-like sphere appears in the middle of the cavern, and its contents resemble a star map on the cave wall.
On the other side, Christina also inquired about this star map through the database of the Academy of Sciences of Armor.
"This is an Earth-centric star map...... "How did Christina end up here?" ”
"I can't explain it, I don't understand." Lena shook her head.
"By the way, you said this is just a portal, where is that door?"
Lena pointed to a pedestal in the middle of the cavern, on which the artifact once housed. Christina had seen it before, but she never thought it would lead anywhere.
"The underground here is the ground, there can't be any skeletons." "We've been exploring the geology of this generation for a long time. ”
"Your instruments are easily deceived by magic. It's as if you've mistaken our magic remnants for computers. ”
"The next thing we're going to enter is a terrible country. It's completely different from the danger up until now. Lena looked at the two of them, "Are you sure you want to go down?" ”
