Chapter 442:
The Labyrinth Forest, where Roland meets Estabul, is a place of interest due to its lush greenery and beautiful scenery. However, some people have been lost in it for many years, and this beautiful forest has finally become a forbidden place for people to talk about.
The information provided by Naya's intelligence service was 1 year ago, and the last time Aine Lune appeared in the world was in the border town of Estable, and when she was finally seen walking into the labyrinth forest, she was never seen again, and many people thought she was dead. Even Naya, who had obtained the information, thought so, but Rocky didn't. A scholar who knows the goddess of destiny is said to be well-read and strong, and many things are not difficult for her, so it means that she cannot be troubled by a small labyrinth forest, she must live somewhere in the labyrinth forest, and she enters it just to escape the world.
It was precisely because of this thought that Rocky ignored Naya's dissuasion and resolutely came to the outside of the labyrinth forest.
"Just let me see where this female scholar is hiding." Rocky muttered and walked into it with an inexplicable smile. As soon as he stepped into the forest, he felt the elven power contained in all directions surround him, with an inexplicable hostility, as if he was a watchdog raised by others, and he was deeply hostile to the stranger who stepped into it.
"Sure enough, it seems that someone has used the elven power in this forest, so the so-called labyrinth forest should be some kind of phantom magic, which makes people mistakenly think that this forest cannot be walked out of, and finally trapped in it." Feeling the elven power around him, Rocky couldn't help but sneer, and at the same time, he was wondering who had laid this illusion magic and what was his purpose? Often, when no one sets foot in a forbidden place, it means that there is something unknown hidden in it, or a big secret. Or maybe it's a treasure.
Lodge naturally thought of this, and at the same time became even more curious about Aine Lune. However, who is this person who arranges fantasy magic, he must have something to do with this female scholar, or this itself is arranged by a female scholar.
"A female scholar, a well-read and well-remembered female scholar. It's not surprising that a well-known female scholar can know some magic that ordinary people can't touch, although I've never heard of illusion magic, but who knows if there is anything in history? Talking to himself, as if to affirm some guess in his heart, Rocky raised his hand and began to slowly dip away in all directions with the power of the abyss, only to see a beam of black light radiating in all directions, impregnating the elven power in the air that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye into black particles. In doing so, he assimilated the elven power around him in order to remove the mental effects of illusion magic. He could feel that the person who arranged this magic was very strong, even compared to the former Brave King, of course, one was force and the other was elf power, but it was not equal, at least it would cause some trouble to him now.
"The existence of a great mage, the arrangement of this illusion magic, she is hiding some kind of secret? About what secret? Rocky gradually went deeper into the forest, moving more and more as he walked. The woods, which were clearly visible, were replaced by a thin mist, which grew deeper and deeper. The fog grew thicker and thicker, until his eyes were covered with a heavy layer of white.
"Fog, this is not a natural phenomenon of fog, but someone deliberately did it, and it also uses the power of the elves......" Rocky raised his hand again, impregnating with the power of the abyss. Soon the fog dissipated before his eyes. But can it really be so easy to solve? At least he didn't think so, because the dissipated mist didn't really disappear, but converged in mid-air, turning into a graceful figure, and she seemed to have long flowing hair. Like an ancient goddess of war, her slender body was able to lift the misty spear in her hand, and she stepped on the air and stabbed Rocky fiercely, without the slightest mercy.
In the face of such an attack, Rocky raised his eyebrows, pulled out 'Skurut' in the void, and instantly slashed the mist spear into water droplets with the dance of his thick blade, but the water droplets that fell to the ground did not soak in the soil like natural phenomena, but still remained in the state of water droplets and began to slowly wriggle and gather until they turned into the spear again.
'The manipulation of the water element, it seems that the great magister's magical attainments and understanding of the elements are very deep! Thinking like this, Rocky injected a trace of abyss power into his sword, and with a sword slashed down, the void split a thin crack and sucked the water man into it, and then saw him stand with his sword closed, and the water man seemed to have never appeared.
This is the power of space, expelling the element into the crack of space, cutting off the possibility of her regeneration, and also relieving the control of the elven power on her, at this moment she has turned into rootless water in the crack and floats to nowhere.
"Apparently the Archmage seems to have laid a trap in the labyrinthine forest in addition to the illusion, is she guarding something? Otherwise, why be so cautious? Having dealt with the water man, Rocky continued his journey into the depths of the forest with confusion, breaking through the fog and walking a relatively peaceful path, but after a thousand steps, he stopped.
Not because Rocky found himself trapped in the forest, but because the trees around him began to writhe irregularly, as if they had been given life and ordered to guard the forest, a prelude to an attack.
With a 'whoosh', sharp vines flew out, and then fell in all directions like heavy nets, like tough chains about to smash the intruders, they were not ordinary trees, they seemed to be man-eating vines yearning for blood.
Rocky didn't draw his sword, facing these man-eating vines, he saw that deep black flames began to emerge outside the surface of his body to protect his body, and once the man-eating vines approached, they were burned, and the black flames could not be extinguished until those man-eating vines were burned to ashes one by one.
'Strange, really strange, is the trap so simple?' If that's the case, at most, she can only guard against those ordinary people. If you encounter an existence of the level of the Brave King, I'm afraid it won't even play the slightest role, right? ’
Shaking his head, he stepped on the vines that had turned into ashes and continued to move forward, but the moment Rocky raised his feet, the vines that had been burned to ashes by the black flame suddenly seemed to be resurrected, revealing new bodies from the ashes one by one. It was as if the skin on his body had just been burned, which made Rocky's brow furrow, but then he quickly let go.
Sure enough, it is absolutely impossible to break through so easily, so these man-eating vines must also be some kind of mysterious thing that has been manipulated. ’
While thinking about this, the man-eating vine was already rapidly approaching. Rocky dodged the strangulation of the man-eating vine unhurriedly, burned the man-eating vine several times but resurrected it several times, and each resurrected man-eating vine seemed to be more tenacious than the last time, and even after a short time, the black flame became very difficult in the process of burning them, and this time Rocky was finally a little moved.
'What kind of creature is this?' When you are infinitely reborn, you are more powerful than you once became? Where the hell is the xenomorph? ’
Quite a headache how to deal with these man-eating vines, Rocky had now restrained the black flames around him, he knew that he could no longer burn them so blindly, he had to think of a way to make them retreat. Otherwise he'd be haunted here forever.
While Rocky was fighting with the man-eating vine, in the depths of the labyrinth forest, a secluded cave was sitting there without making any sound, as if there were no creatures in it, but if you listened carefully, there seemed to be a very subtle vibration in the air, as if the elven power was constantly active, so there were people in this cave.
And who is in this cave? If you think about it in Rocky's mind. Then this person must be the mysterious archmage who arranges those magic and traps, and even has the identity of a female scholar. His name is Aine Lugne.
Snow-white with long hair, petite stature, eyes with long eyelashes flashing, and a stunning look like a girl with a mature charm, it is clear that this is Rocky looking for a female scholar, and at this moment she is maintaining a strange posture.
I saw her put her hands on her chest and make a gesture that no one recognized. The elven power in the air constantly surrounded her fingertips, as if she was casting a spell, and what was the purpose of her spell? Naturally, it was to stop Rocky, who had already broken into the forest.
In her mind's eye, Rocky was fighting the man-eating vine with a depressed face, as if it were a real picture that appeared automatically in her mind. It seemed that the whole forest was in her mind, so to speak, she was like this forest.
Rocky's headache came into her mind, and the corners of her mouth outlined a pleasant arc on her beautiful face, and she seemed to be jumping for Rocky's headache, no wonder, after all, her territory would not be happy if someone else invaded it, and at the same time making the enemy unhappy, she made herself happy. Now Rocky is unhappy, so she's very happy.
She didn't know that Rocky had come here to find her, but she knew that anyone who stepped here would be expelled, because no one was allowed to find out about the secrets, and no one was allowed to harm those who lived here.
Who called her the guardian of this forest? Who called her the leader of an organization called the Vision? The leader of the Demon-Eyed Ones.
No one can find out the secrets here, because the result is death, and I will not allow them to be harmed in any way!" ’
As the leader of the Vision, Aine Lune naturally took on the responsibility of protecting the bearer of the Vision. Speaking of which, Dia Lumibull, who once tried to rob Reiner, is also a member of the 'Vision', they are looking for the MONOCULUS holders, hoping to form the MONOCULUS holders into an existence that is no longer humiliated, obviously, they are not far from success, at least many national forces are very afraid of the 'Vision', but those MONOCULUS holders have not been improved in any way because of their existence, but have become worse than before. Why is that?
When a person fears something, and the thing grows into a threat that he has to face and cannot provoke, the weak existence derived from the thing becomes an outlet for their inner fear, and they bully these weak people to satisfy their sensitive hearts because of fear, and they reject this feeling of shame. So, this is why the living space of those MONOCULUS holders is getting smaller and smaller, and the Vision may exist to take into account the survival of MONOCULUS holders, but it is clear that they do not have any political vision and are not very intelligent.
Without further ado, Rocky's fight with the man-eating vine was also more retreating and less advanced, and he didn't try to attack too much. Instead, he looked for the weaknesses of the man-eating vines between actions, and after only a few tentative attacks, he mastered the weaknesses of these man-eating vines.
Fire and wood, this is the truth, but for the man-eating vines, fire is the help that encourages them to become stronger beings, and on the contrary, the water that should be conducive to their growth becomes their heaven and earth, so Rocky, who drew his sword again, cut through the gap and splashed the rootless water in all directions. Those man-eating vines collapsed at the touch of a button, without the slightest struggle, as if they had encountered sulfuric acid, they became a green liquid, and there was no possibility of resurrection. Who would have thought that? The mutual restraint between the elements did not have the slightest effect, but became an upside-down existence. At first, even Rocky never imagined that this would be the case.
After dealing with the man-eating vine, Rocky stepped into the depths again, and after the previous mist and the man-eating vine, he could already foresee the next encounter. He was bound to encounter even more strange beings, and they were inseparable from the Five Elements element.
Sure enough, a kilometer away, a crater that was still very common in later generations appeared in the center of the forest, without the slightest sign or sign, and although he could see the sun shining through the cracks when he stepped into the forest, he could not see the distant things that were blocked by the tall trees, including the crater in front of him.
"Water, wood. Then the fire is next, so can I think that the fire is followed by the earth. And then there's the gold? No, the people of this continent don't know the concept of so-called gold, so it should be Lei ...... "stopped, looked at the crater, and quietly waited for the volcano that had stopped him from going, he was waiting for the moment when the volcano erupted." What will be in it?
The volcano lived up to Rocky's expectations, and the volcano spewed thick smoke under the shaking of the earth, and then the magma began to bubble up, and they were not without any rules. Instead, it began to condense one by one like the mist, and finally appeared in front of Rocky's eyes a demonic beast made of magma, the heat of their bodies had burned the trees, and the ground under their feet began to scorch, and their target was the still Rocky in front of them.
Neither side has made a move, and it seems that they are waiting for a suitable opportunity. Rocky is very wary of these magma monsters, he has never regarded these existences as ordinary things after experiencing the previous man-eating vines, magma belongs to fire, high-heat fire, and the action of the elements will be endless if it is not stopped by an external force after its appearance, and the fire that cannot be extinguished? And what is its nemesis? Apparently no one knew and would not know, at least not now Rocky.
Rocky doesn't do it, it doesn't mean that the monsters transformed by magma will also not do it, they are not endowed with intelligence, they are endowed with the habits and instincts of beasts, and they start to pounce on Rocky after adapting to their bodies.
And Rocky did not show any terrible strength in the face of these attacks, on the one hand, because the power of the abyss in his body had not yet recovered, and on the other hand, he did not want to scare away the person he was looking for, so he showed great difficulty, as if he intended to dissolve the endless volcano in front of him, as if he was as devout as a scholar.
I have to say that Rocky's consideration is right, at least Aine Lunne has been aroused, she has not been in contact with anyone for a long time, she has been guarding this forest for an unknown number of years, although her body has stopped growing, but her actual age is more than 80 years old, but she only maintains her appearance, her life is still passing.
It stands to reason that a 'girl' of this age should have lost her inner innocence and interest, and her premature maturity has buried her inner innocence, but it is really this burial that makes her suppress her innocence, and now she has met a very interesting Rocky, and naturally this innocence has also appeared at the right time, becoming the driving force for her and Rocky to fight wits and courage.
'I'd like to see how you dissolve this immortal elemental volcano!' 'Adding a handful of dry wood to the fire, the magma monsters around Rocky grew bigger and bigger, and the burning sensation became more and more powerful, this was obviously the work of Aine Lunne, and Rocky also felt their fate manipulated, and he did not feel sad about it, because when the elven power was used by the magician, they were all willing.
He didn't draw his sword, he didn't use the power of the abyss to conjure up various weapons, he purely used the strength and speed of his body to deal with these magma monsters, his tentative attacks were mainly fists and feet, not afraid of the strong temperature, and he was also observing his surroundings while fighting. Because contact alone cannot determine their weaknesses, the environment will also become a thing where their weaknesses are exposed.
Naturally, Lodge discovered that the only thing that had not been burned in his area was the volcano, which seemed to be fearless of any heat, and that its existence depended on these lava vessels.
Rocky's eyes lit up, dodging the pounce of the magma monsters, and his fist made a claw shape and pulled out the rock on the volcano, which was cut into a stone stick by his hand knife in his hand, and he saw him swing the stone stick and smash it on the bodies of those magma monsters, causing them a series of 'wounds' that could not be healed, obviously, he guessed correctly, volcanic rock is their nemesis.
Aine Lune was amazed, she had never imagined that Rocky would use volcanic rock, a secret that she didn't even know about, because she had never thought of breaking the spells she had ever configured.
'This guy is definitely not an ordinary person...... although she knows that people who can break into the labyrinth forest are not ordinary, but it is the first time she has seen someone who has already broken through the three blockades so quickly like Rocky.
Solemnity had begun to crawl over Aine Lune's face, and she began to think of a way to stop Rocky, and although she was confident in the next two traps, she needed to be prepared for anything to make her feel at ease.
While Aine Lune was thinking about what to do, Rocky was already standing on the fourth level, a mine in the middle of the forest. The pit is so natural that the miners will be ecstatic to see it, because the ore inside can be extracted from precious gems, rare metals and diamonds.
The presence of these rare things did not make Rocky feel any pleasing to the eye, but rather felt like he was facing a great enemy. Because he knew that the Grand Magus would not make it easy, and the trap would be more difficult. The existence of these ores is indeed rare, but if they are the existence of 'enemies', they are deadly.
So in Rocky's slightly solemn expression, these ores began to automatically decompose, synthesize, until they turned into a roaring dragon in the sky, its body did not have any scales, all of them were forged by those rare ores, its toughness was no longer ordinary weapons can be broken, and even the hyperspace sword 'Skrut' may be a little difficult.
The dragon roared and did not attack, the ruby eyes stared at Rocky, and for a moment, a bright light flashed, and it still did not move, as if to mock Rocky's timidity, tempting him to attack himself.
Rocky laughed at this, and in the mocking eyes of the dragon, he slammed his fist into its thick chest, and then heard a 'bang', and his body exploded, and the dragon did not move in the slightest as if it were not hurt in any way.
Rocky stood firm, looking down at the white marks on his fist, and couldn't help but feel a little lucky, if it weren't for the toughness of his body, I'm afraid this punch would have made his fist useless. And at this moment, he had to be amazed by the hardness of the ore dragon in front of him, and he should now have a headache on how to solve the difficulty in front of him.
Rocky's expression was naturally in full view of Aine Lune, and she let out a sneer, followed by an inexplicable sigh. (To be continued.) )
