Chapter 59: The Pyramid of Death
Wizard's Tower. Astrological Observatory.
Behind Stephen, the people who were going to act together this time had been assembled.
The people from the Astrological Observatory were in charge of teleporting on the side of the Five Ring Tower, and they had already arrived at the Misty Continent last night. Stephen had to delay a bit, mainly to prepare something special. There are a total of six people in the team this time, namely Stephen, Gorgon-Essara, Catwoman-Brigitte, Prophet - Ankara, and two other middle-aged witches from the Blind Witch Society.
The last two are pure supports, which are responsible for blessing some continuous spells.
"Get ready to go. Stephen walked onto the Rainbow Bridge.
The construction of the Rainbow Bridge is currently slow, as the Astral Barrier Steffan has not yet been scanned, and is currently only able to teleport within the planet Motera.
"Taling 1!"
"Prepare for [Spatial Leap]!"
This time, Stephen is not going to use conventional means to teleport, but uses the late Arcane Empire's teleportation technology [Space Leap], which is an upgraded version of the teleportation ability that often requires a powerful central system to maintain operation. It is often used in astral travel, and Stephen's purpose in making the Rainbow Bridge is for this purpose, and in the future, ordinary teleportation spells for cross-dimensional travel are simply not enough. The advantages of space folding are stability, fast speed, and ability to cope with emergencies, while the disadvantage is that it consumes a lot of energy, requires a complete space marker, and has relatively high requirements for use.
"Activate the Fusion Furnace!"
"Rainbow Bridge Charging!"
As a ray of light emerged, the rainbow bridge in front of him gradually appeared, and Stephen pressed his hand on the purple crystal center suspended in the center, and then pillars of light rose on the rainbow bridge.
These strange pillars of light quickly disappeared in front of their eyes.
The next moment.
Stephen and his party appeared one after another outside a camp in the Misty Continent.
"Huh?"
"How did you teleport here, why didn't I perceive the teleportation spell fluctuations?" a wizard from the astrological platform wondered.
Ordinary ultra-long-distance teleportation spells require a reading strip to charge, but the space flip is not so troublesome, and it is not afraid of the blocking space spells of the regular dimensional anchor type at all. If Stephen could master the Law of Space, then no other wizard would be able to interrupt his teleportation spell at all.
Stephen smiled and didn't speak, then turned around and went to find the Void Master.
Behind him, the two maids looked around with curiosity, this was a very desolate desert, in the middle of which was a magic hut, and there were many wizarding activities nearby, but they were all unfamiliar faces.
"What about the Void Master?" asked Stephen as he found a high-ranking wizard.
"Your Excellency Stephen, you're here!" the high-ranking wizard looked excited when he saw him, and said slowly, "Master Void is currently exploring the underground labyrinth. Do you need me to take you there?"
Stephen immediately said, "Let's go." ”
The entrance to the underground labyrinth is to the right of the obelisk.
This obelisk is about ten meters above the ground, and it looks very weathered, and it is really a bit of luck that others can find it.
At the entrance to the underground labyrinth, the wizards fixed the passage with 'turning mud into stone'.
Otherwise, the quicksand environment would easily bury people in it, and with the wizards of the elemental pool stationed at the door, the Five Rings Tower looks like it has sent a lot of people over.
"Lord Stephen!"
"Mentor Stephen!"
Along the way, someone leaned over from time to time to signal, and Stephen smiled and nodded in response.
Elshara and Brigitte followed him with their heads held high, and there was a hint of pride on their faces, for even the blind could tell that their masters were unusual.
"It's a smell of death. ”
At the entrance to the underground labyrinth, Stephen couldn't help frowning and said, "How many areas have you explored?"
The astrological wizard next to him whispered, "Probably less than thirty percent." ”
"There are a lot of undead here. ”
"And evil spirits are constantly resurrecting, and we are a little short of manpower. ”
Stephen nodded and said, "Where's the topographical map?" ”
Soon.
Someone next to him brought over the map he was currently exploring, and Stephen glanced at it with a surprised expression, "Inverted pyramid?"
This labyrinth is an inverted pyramid.
The area above is very large, but the further down it is, the smaller it becomes, and at present, the people of the Fifth Ring Tower have explored the third layer, but ancient mummies have already appeared on the third layer, so that the progress of others cannot be pushed forward for a long time.
"This seems to be a magic circle!" said Stephen behind Ankara, the prophet.
Stephen nodded and said, "Possibly." ”
"But it could also be a seal. ”
Stephen and his party quickly entered the passage, the underground passage of this labyrinth is complicated, but there are marks left by people along the way. He had locked on the location of the Void Master, in the southern area of the third layer of this underground labyrinth.
Half an hour later.
They came to the location where the Void Master and the others were, and the battle here was almost over.
Surrounded by mummies that had been killed.
Next to him was the people of the elemental pool cleaning the battlefield, and after seeing Stephen's figure, Master Void walked over quickly and said, "Your Excellency Stephen is here." ”
"Look at this!"
With that, he handed over a strange black spar.
"Huh?"
Stephen glanced at it with a serious expression and said in a deep voice, "Found it here?"
The Void Master nodded.
They had already gotten one from the mutated ghoul, and here the Void Master had obtained the same black crystal from an ancient mummy.
"Will the gods be sealed here?" the Void Master transmitted into the secret passage.
Stephen said quietly on his face: "Possibly." ”
"Our purpose is to find the Scroll of Death!
This time.
A high-ranking wizard from the astrological platform walked over quickly and said, "Your Excellency Stephen is here? Great! Please come with me to have a look!
With that, he pointed to the secret room in the southwest and motioned for the others to come over.
A cloudy wind blew.
Stephen faintly heard the wailing of the geist, and after entering the secret room, he glanced at it and gasped, and then muttered, "Blood sacrifice?"
A large mass of dense bones appeared in front of him.
It's a mass grave.
I don't know how many people have been killed here, anyway, there are countless bones piled up in the entire hall of the secret room, and there is something like an altar in the center, but there are no energy fluctuations.
"These are offerings. ”
"But I don't know who it's for!" said a wizard from a nearby astrological platform.
On the other side, a high-ranking wizard said, "Look at these murals. ”
On the quaint walls, there are a lot of mottled murals, many of which have been blurred, but you can vaguely see the process of a huge sacrificial ceremony, and even the figure of a wizard inside, but what people didn't expect is that many wizards were actually made into mummies in the murals!
"Necromancy, or some ancient cult?" said Akasha the Insightful.
Stephen shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”
"Let's go out and have a look. ”
The Divine Sin [Life Atrophy] is close to the form of a mummy, and Stephen always feels a little uneasy when he sees these murals.
Thundered.
A dull sound suddenly came from the side.
Then an excited voice from one of the halflings rang out, "Come here, I've opened the mechanism that leads to the north hall." ”
The group quickly rushed over.
A vast hall appeared in front of their eyes, surrounded by many hideous sculptures, flanked by guards in black armor with giant swords, and before anyone could get close to the empty eye sockets, a strange red light appeared in the eye sockets, and then picked up the giant sword and slashed it.
"Be careful!"
In the midst of an exclamation, the coffins around him gradually opened, and mummies and bone knights appeared in front of them.
Stephen's glance swept to see that there were at least five Ancient Mummies, which put so much pressure on the others that those who had entered in front of them to retreat. The civilization of ancient wizards has been more than 3,000 years ago, which means that the mummies here have been sealed for at least 3,000 years, and many mummies have been promoted to ancient mummies under the nourishment of the rich power of death.
"One person on one side. ”
A fire appeared in Stephen's palm, there were many rooms in this hall, but if you don't solve these monsters, you will definitely not be able to enter.
Fortunately, this time I came here as a group.
There are more than twenty wizards from the Five Rings Tower, and there are also many people on Stephen's side, plus the helpers brought by the Void Master, it is not very difficult to face these ancient mummies.
This kind of large-scale ancient ruins can't be done without opening a group.
Boom, boom, boom.
Explosions sounded one after another, don't look at the existence of this underground labyrinth for a long time, but it itself is quite solid, and there is no sign of collapse under the fierce battle, it should have been blessed by spells. The main force of the battle is still Master Void and the others, and Stephen stands by and occasionally takes the head, he must conserve mana to deal with emergencies.
The battle continues.
However, the dark wizard Aiden, who had been behind the group, had a strange expression at the moment, he first looked around secretly, then stared at the pattern on the wall for a while, and then Wizard Aiden seemed to remember something, and sneaked all the way along the pattern on the edge of the hall.
Because there are too many enemies.
No one had the energy to pay attention to him at this time, and Wizard Aiden touched the third entrance to the secret room on the left, and then reached out and moved on the mechanism, and suddenly the whole person flashed in.
"Huh?"
"What is he going to do in there?" Stephen realized at this point.
He gestured to the Gorgon, Elsara, who was nearby, and the maid disappeared from sight, quickly chasing in the direction of Wizard Aiden's escape. Aishara is a Legendary-rank assassin, and she has no problem dealing with an Aiden.
