As Lucien cut off the flesh from his severed arm and drew line symbols wrapped in circles, a sense of strange mystery gradually emanated, as if it represented the most abstract and profound secrets of the human body and the universe.

Karina watched intently as Lucien set up the magic array, and muttered to herself: "These three symbols seem to symbolize spirit, consciousness and carrier respectively, they are the same level, probably representing the soul, those five symbols of the same level are the traditional symbols of the necromantic system, symbolizing blood, bones, flesh, internal organs and life force, maybe used to represent the body, the remaining four sun, silver moon, stars and dark symbols may represent the world outside the body." This is a kind of magic array that combines necromancy and astrological magic, and it seems to have different changes and play different roles depending on the location and connection. ”

The opportunity to see and learn advanced knowledge of the magic array was very rare for her.

After drawing the basic symbols of the necromantic "Miranda Twelve Rings of Life" magic circle around the energy pool, Lucien turned the remaining bones and flesh into a semi-solidified viscous liquid, and then used it as "magic ink" to draw a unique connection between the twelve rings, with the dark symbol as the core.

After doing all this, Lucien smeared the viscous flesh liquid as a "magic conductor" into the connecting pathway, and finally reshaped and changed the "Dark Symbol", "Blood Symbol" and "Consciousness Symbol" with the help of Adam's cut flesh.

A faint light full of life sensation lit up with the urging of Lucian's spiritual power, and quickly spread along the fixed passage. Soon, the entire "Miranda Twelve Rings of Life" magic array was connected into a whole, and the light was suddenly restrained.

The magic array no longer looks messy and fragmented as before, and all the symbols and connections seem to form a unique open life form, giving people a wonderful three-dimensional illusion.

Karina gazed at the magic circle that looked like a work of art, constantly analyzing the meaning behind each symbol and each connection.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in her ears: "Karina, wait, as soon as the energy pool starts to boil, you use your spiritual power to activate the dark symbol." ”

"Huh?" Karina awoke suddenly, only to find Lucien talking to herself.

Wait for Lucien to repeat it. She blushed and said, "Mr. Lucian." Rest assured, I'll get the timing right. ”

Lucien nodded, he could only fully trust her at this time, after all, he had not yet had the opportunity to learn simulacrum magic. Can be manipulated by a doppelganger. Then he turned to the two knights and said, "Alva, Brad." You are responsible for guarding Karina, and don't let anything disturb him. ”

"Yes, Mr. Lucian. Alva and Brad solemnly bowed.

Lucien didn't ramble. Looking at Adam next to him: "Adam, let's go to the core of the magic tower." ”

"No problem!" Adam was a little eager to try, he had been imprisoned by the old witch for decades, and he had been an experimental material for so long, he couldn't wait to fight back, and it was a coward's choice to escape!

............

With a loud bang, the two steel golems fell to the ground, their hands and feet still flicking uncontrollably.

Seeing this scene, Adam said with great emotion: "If I am alone, unless I can get a lot of space to move, it will be difficult to easily kill even a steel golem, and you can destroy them with just one magic, it is really incredible, amazing." Hey, I kind of regret that I didn't learn magic in the first place. ”

"It's a progress in knowledge. Lucien replied succinctly.

After speaking, Lucien stepped past the steel golem, shook his head slightly and looked at the magic array patterns revealed on its steel body, and said secretly in his heart: "Many things have advantages and disadvantages, if there are no magic arrays, then you can make a metal shell to effectively shield the magnetic field interference of the steel golem, etc., but how can the current pure alloy block the attack of the great knight and the bombardment of elemental magic? Unless the knowledge advances again, this structural dilemma can be effectively solved." ”

Adam didn't quite understand the development of magic, so he spread his hands and said, "Man, you quickly crack the protective magic array, I'm always worried that the old witch will come back suddenly." ”

The magic array at the core of the magic tower is much more complicated than the protection energy room, but fortunately, it is still a common high-level magic array, and there is a reference for the predecessors of the arcanists, so Lucien still cracked it after a full hour and a half.

This hour and a half was extremely torturous for the "prison escapees" who were racing against time, and even Adam, a determined fifth-level knight, couldn't help but pace back and forth anxiously, and any slight movement would make him react greatly.

From his performance, Lucien could guess that Karina, Alva, and Brad in the energy room were estimated to be mentally tense to the point of collapse, and there was no need for the old witch to come back at this time, just the appearance of a flesh puppet knight could scare them into making drastic actions, or even fleeing from the battle.

Due to the distance between the core of the magic tower and the energy, beyond the range of the secondary psychic connection, Lucien had no way to contact Karina, so he could only maintain the attitude of trusting his teammates and open the black door.

Seeing the door with a glittering black metallic sheen retreating, Adam let out a long sigh of relief: "This is the hardest hour and a half of my life, but fortunately the old witch didn't show up. ”

"Let's go, there is danger waiting for us ahead. Lucien took a closer look at the staircase passage behind him and stepped resolutely on it.

I don't know if there are other powerful guards in the core of the Magic Tower, I don't know if there is a unique magic array to protect the control hub of the Channel, I don't know if the Magic Path can be successfully controlled, and I don't know if the old witch who will definitely be alarmed after the Magic Tower starts to try it will be able to come back in time...... A series of unknown clouds loomed over Lucian's head.

Adam's body grew dark, and he cautiously followed Lucien up the silver-gray staircase.

The two of them had just walked up a few steps when the entire narrow staircase suddenly squirmed.

The silver-gray walls and stairs quickly turned blood-red, revealing a hint of flesh, and secreted pure white, faint green acid. The rot scorched Lucian's "Spell Absorption Wall" sizzling and expanding.

The darkened Adam was drenched on the head by these "acids", and let out a slight scream of pain, but fortunately the damage was not very serious, but he still kept his calm and did not attack blindly, so as not to alarm the old witch: "Man, what's going on? Shouldn't I be immune to acid damage after darkening?"

"It's the old witch's unique magic, it seems to be able to rot and digest the soul, not just acid!" Lucien said as he spoke in the secondary psychic connection. While running at full speed. Dragged out a long afterimage, "This seems to be an inevitable magic array, even if the old witch herself comes, it will be activated." However, she will definitely use the corresponding magic protection in advance. ”

This is one of the effective means of defense for many mages against their important objects and locations. It can kill those who think they have broken all the magic arrays in a defenseless state.

OK. Neither Lucien nor Adam was careless, and this came from fear and wariness of the old witch.

The blood-red staircase squirmed wildly, like a human stomach digesting food. Weird and bloody.

Lucien and Adam took the "acid" damage and climbed frantically, rushing towards the exit above.

The exit is like an open mouth, and above and below are red thick lips and white teeth. They are closing rapidly, as if they have a time limit!

Lucian and Adam, who had superimposed the acceleration technique, were very fast, getting closer and closer to the exit, and saw that there was only a staircase that was not too long.

But at this moment, the wall of light flowing with mysterious magic symbols absorbed to the limit, shattered, and turned into shining spots of light.

Seeing that the further back he went, the faster the exit closed, Lucien didn't waste his precious casting buffer to cast another "Spell Absorption Wall", but grabbed Adam next to him, activating the "Short Teleport".

In a flash, Lucien and Adam appeared on the stairs seven or eight steps in front of the exit.

The biggest drawback of this magic is that it's not far enough!

As soon as he appeared, Lucien seemed to have expected it, and despite the burning pain on his body, he kicked his feet and shot out like arrows, through two rows of teeth that were about to close, and landed on the thick carpet.

Turning over on the spot, looking back to see Adam also rushing in, Lucien relaxed a little, quickly got up, and looked around, completely ignoring the acid on his body that was corrupting flesh and soul.

This seems to be the old witch's study, with rows of bookshelves on one side, stone carvings of beautiful women on the other, and a richly decorated desk in the middle, on which a crystal ball is placed at the intersection of countless patterns, which reflects the condition of the entire magic tower.

And behind the desk, there is a rickety old woman in a red magic robe, her skin is loose, wrinkles are deep, and she is shriveled and terrifying!

"Old witch?!" Lucien and Adam blurted out in the secondary psychic connection.

Just when Lucien subconsciously wanted to activate the magic, he suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly forcibly stopped, and hurriedly said to Adam: "Don't attack, it's an illusion!"

Adam was a little shocked, and said, "Illusion?"

"A six-ring magic spell that can create an illusion that is identical to herself, and control her movement and speech, etc., but cannot cast spells. The old witch seemed to be placed here as a warning, and she could sense it as long as she subconsciously attacked her illusion. Lucien calmed his thumping heart, and then used "medical magic" to treat the wound that was splashed with "acid", and it took nearly ten magic spells and Adam's darkening help to heal the difficult injury.

Adam cursed in a low voice, "Although the old witch is a little crazy, she is actually very insidious." ”

After recovering from his injuries and mental strength, Lucien once again stacked defensive magic on himself, and then walked over to the crystal ball and tried to parse the "control hub".

After waiting for nearly an hour, time passed until midnight, Lucian finally finished the analysis, stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the crystal ball, muttered a mantra in his mouth, and condensed his spiritual power into a needle and pierced it.

Not only to crack it, but also to erase the old witch's spiritual imprint so that you can master the crystal ball!

The spiritual power followed the path that Lucien had cracked, bypassing many obstacles like a swimming fish, reaching the core in an instant, and rushing towards the old witch's mark.

At this time, sensing the threat, the crystal ball lit up, like a brilliant sun.

The magic patterns lit up, and the power of the entire magic tower was concentrated on the crystal ball to obliterate the invaders.

In the energy room, Karina saw that the energy pool began to boil, and quickly activated the "Twelve Rings of Miranda's Life" magic array.

Twelve rings lit up at the same time, and the darkness suddenly expanded, enveloping the entire energy room, and everything seemed to freeze.

Karina, Alva, and Brad immediately turned and fled towards the door of the energy room in their memory.

The flow of energy was cut off, and the protection of the spiritual imprint inside the crystal ball came to an abrupt halt, leaving it facing Lucian's spiritual attack.

If this spiritual imprint can't be erased, Lucien will be eaten and killed.

Ten seconds, only ten seconds!

Suddenly, the old witch behind the desk exuded the breath of life, and an angry voice came from afar: "Two hateful flies, I will mummify you!"

The breath of life became stronger and stronger, and in just a second, the illusion of the old witch became a real person!

Six-Ring Magic "Position Swap Technique!"

After using this magic, if two pre-connected lifeforms are within a five-hundred-meter radius, they can swap positions in a second, but the old witch actually applied it to the main body and the illusion, which seems to be her unique magic!

Every magician should not be underestimated, even the ancient inheritance magician!(To be continued......
