Chapter 544: Invisible Barrier
Benjamin pressed against the stone wall, on tiptoe, and touched it with his most heartfelt steps. Probably because the mages were so focused on what was on the other side of the barrier that they didn't notice Benjamin sneaking in.
The scene inside the barrier finally came into his eyes.
Brilliant white light shimmered in it, flying around the queen like fireflies. The queen's eyes widened at the moment, and her face was a little fanatical and expectant. She stood on a stone shaped like a carved platform, her hands on her hands, and she gently touched a strange object rising from the ground.
As for the object she was touching, it was a ...... Sculpture or plant? Benjamin was a little confused for a moment.
It looked a bit like the kind of dry, rotten wood, with a dark brown torso twisting at odd angles and branching out sharp branches. The white light that flew around the queen seemed to slowly escape from the branches.
"What's that? Can you detect it?" asked Benjamin into the system.
"No, that barrier is weird, even I'm kept out. The system was silent for a moment, then replied, "However, you can try attacking this barrier. ”
“......”
Benjamin wouldn't be stupid enough to strike in front of so many enemy mages.
He hid in the shadow of a wall, quietly removing the fluorescent moss from the vicinity, and then secretly observed the situation. The mages seemed to be upset by the Queen's actions, and some even stepped in and began to attack the barrier.
Several large fireballs collided, and the invisible barrier flashed. Then, the fireball disappeared into nothingness.
Seeing this, the expressions on the faces of the mages became even more anxious.
"Oh no, this thing can't be broken at all. Your Majesty's mind has been bewitched by it, and we must rescue Your Majesty!"
Many people also shot one after another, fireballs, wind blades...... The dense attack hit the invisible barrier. Nearly a hundred mages gathered here, and the power of the joint attack should not be underestimated, and the entire narrow cave was illuminated by the light of that moment.
However, the barrier still only flickered, and all attacks were silently blocked.
And on the day of the barrier, the queen's hands also hugged the rotten wooden torso tightly. More and more points of light converged on her, and if you looked closely, some of them even merged into her body, like the legendary saint who sacrificed to the gods.
And the queen's whole person suddenly trembled in the process.
"Your Majesty, let go of your hand. This power will kill you!" shouted a mage who approached the barrier and slapped it as hard as a window.
However, it was as if the queen inside the barrier had heard nothing.
"Your Majesty...... She may not even be able to hear us. The other, older-looking mage, shook his head, took a deep breath, and said, "No way, we can't stop her." Wish...... What is written in the book is true. ”
Someone retorted: "But even if it's true, what if Her Majesty can't bear it?"
"Then we can't help it. The elder mage closed his eyes as if waiting for the prisoner to be sentenced, "There is no one left to stop this." ”
When the mages heard this, they all showed some unwilling expressions.
The Queen's life is linked to them, and even more so to Ikor's fate. If they could, they hoped to keep all danger out of sight, so that the queen would not be hurt in the slightest. But...... They can't do that.
However, at this very moment.
"Looks like you're tempted to break down this barrier?"
A voice came from behind them. The group of mages turned around, only to see the familiar face, smiling in the glow of fluorescent and white light.
"Yes...... It's you!"
They immediately recognized Benjamin.
"Surprised? We fell into this place just like you. Benjamin shook his head and said, "Don't rush to do it yet, you don't want anything to happen to Her Majesty inside." ”
"Can you break this barrier?" the older mage asked, after a moment of silence.
"Of course I can. ”
When the older mage heard this, his spirits perked up, and he seemed to want to say something. But at this moment, several mages on the side immediately interrupted him and glared at Benjamin with hostile eyes.
"Don't trust this person. The mages said, "Whether dead or newborn, all this is Her Majesty's will." We cannot stop, let alone allow an outsider to intervene. ”
As soon as these words came out, many mages nodded along with them.
Seeing this, Benjamin let out a cold snort.
These mages ...... Probably the so-called diehard loyalists cultivated by the queen, right?
"Then you can do it yourself. Benjamin shrugged his shoulders and said with an innocent expression, "As long as the queen dies inside, you will die one by one." But rest assured, we'll take over Ikor and take care of it. ”
"You ......"
The mages were obviously annoyed by Benjamin's words, but for a moment they couldn't say anything.
Benjamin just looked at them with a smile as well.
Whatever the queen was doing inside, his instincts told him not to let this step be done. Either the queen fails and dies inside, along with the mages who took most of Ikor with her. Either the queen succeeds, then Benjamin and they may suffer. Either way, it didn't seem so good for him.
Therefore, he could only provoke these mages with his words.
"That's enough!" the older mage, however, took a deep breath and said, "This guy is our enemy, do you need to say anything? Take him down!
“......”
Benjamin was speechless for a moment
Damn it...... It seems that the excitement is too much.
"Everyone is a mage, and we have something to say. The church is just outside the Crussad gates, and we have something to say. He tried to ease the situation, but the other side didn't seem to give him the opportunity.
The spell sounded, and the tidal elements converged in this cavern, emitting extremely large waves of magical power.
Headache.
Seeing this, Benjamin could only close his mouth and start casting spells.
In the face of the joint attack of nearly 100 mages, defense is definitely not good, he can only use attacks and dodges to maneuver. Therefore, he immediately summoned hundreds of water-shaped birds and sent them flying towards the crowd.
Then, he drank a bottle of agility potion, and in a flash, it was just like a torrent of magic.
"This guy ......"
Benjamin's swift dodge startled the mages. Immediately afterward, the water-shaped birds swooped down on them, forcing them to retract their attention and summon shields against these presumably the most intelligent water elemental "creatures".
And Benjamin's movements didn't stop.
More water-shaped birds were summoned by him and pounced on the mages. While this level of attack doesn't do much damage, it slows down the frequency of these mages' attacks.
Fireball, Wind Blade...... The things were still shooting at him, but they were much less dense. Benjamin felt like a fighter plane in thunder and lightning, dodging in a hail of bullets and bullets.
Soon, he found the gap and approached the invisible barrier.
He pulled a crystal ball out of his bag.
