Chapter 11: Seeking Answers
When the Dark Seer opened his eyes again, he was in a very different world.
As far as the eye can see, the whole world is filled with illusory mirrors of different sizes and strange shapes.
So much so that from a bird's-eye view, the whole world is like a huge labyrinth made of countless mirrors, with no end in sight and no edge in sight.
The Dark Seer looked up at a large phantom wall at the entrance.
This mirror of the phantom wall, which is on the outermost part, is the place where the people at the end of the phantom wall are baptized.
Within a special time limit, the God-King would ask his people to be examined and baptized before this phantom wall.
For thousands of years, tens of millions of creatures have been examined and baptized by the Phantom Wall here, but no one dares to jump over this Phantom Wall to explore the deeper secrets of the Phantom Wall Labyrinth.
Because the ancestors have used their lives to confirm the sacredness and inviolability of the phantom wall labyrinth.
So over time, this huge phantom wall has become a cordon.
As long as you don't cross this cordon, then the Phantom Wall Labyrinth can coexist peacefully with the people at the end of the Phantom Wall, but as long as anyone dares to jump half a step into this thunder pool, they will definitely be judged by the Phantom Wall Labyrinth.
The Dark Sage slowly walked to the phantom wall, and the mirror that exuded a strange streamer color clearly illuminated his face.
His image only lasted in the mirror for a moment, and then it shuddered violently, and then a black phantom with the same appearance as the Dark Sage, like an out-of-body soul, sprang out of his body, looking very strange.
The moment the black phantom appeared, he struggled violently, and his whole body was frantically backwards, as if behind him, an invisible force was constantly pulling him.
He let out a silent roar, trying his best to return to the Dark Sage's body, but the inexplicable pull force was completely unable to resist at all.
As the strange power in the mirror trembled again, the struggling black shadow disappeared into the mirror forever.
The Dark Sage looked at everything that happened in the mirror with a blank face, completely unmoved.
Previously, the black phantom that appeared was the dark side that lurked in the depths of the Dark Sage's heart.
The magic of the Phantom Wall is that it can easily reflect the dark side of the living beings' hearts, and successfully remove it from the body, and seal it into the mirror of the Phantom Wall forever.
After the dark side of his body was removed by the phantom wall, the dark sage turned around and walked behind the wall, "Come on!"
The three thousand elites behind him watched the Dark Sage walk inside without fear, and they all looked at each other with solemn faces and apprehension.
These three thousand elites are all carefully selected by the God King, and they are all veterans of the battlefield, if the God King wants them to die, they will definitely not even blink an eyebrow.
However, when they really faced the fact that they were about to step into the forbidden area of this holy land, the fear of the unknown still shook their psychological defenses to a certain extent.
It's just that the God-King's orders are here, and they can't be afraid to retreat now.
Behind the huge wall is an unimaginably large labyrinth of phantom walls.
Phantom walls of different sizes and shapes are mysteriously combined, and the roads separated from them are even more tortuous and intricate, and if you are not careful, you may be completely lost in it.
For the mirror behind, this completely unfamiliar world, when everyone saw it at first sight, the initial fear in their hearts turned into endless curiosity.
Every time they walk through a mirror, a completely different version of themselves is reflected in the mirror.
There are those who are crying with their heads, and there are those who are roaring wildly...
The phantom walls are like mirrors, reflecting the weakness, ugliness, evil and all other dark things of living beings.
They knew very well that these were shadowy things that were sealed in the phantom wall.
No matter what was reflected in the mirror, or how frightened they were, they were indifferent.
Because the mirror of the phantom wall is indestructible in their eyes, even if it is as powerful as their emperor, the god king, it is impossible to break it.
Nothing happened during the long hike.
The huge labyrinth of phantom walls is like an abandoned city, and the silence after the desertion makes people shudder.
Walking in it, in the empty phantom wall tunnel, there was only the footsteps and faint breathing of a group of people, gently disturbing the dead silence here.
The silent silence leads to boredom and exhaustion.
The three thousand elites even discarded their vigilance as warriors, and began to study the phantoms illuminated by the phantom wall in a bored manner.
As the Ruler of the Dark Sage, he naturally could not tolerate this happening.
But before he could speak, a terrible scream suddenly echoed in the empty labyrinth of phantom walls.
"Ahh
The silence that had been maintained for a long time was finally broken by this scream.
The Dark Sage immediately looked at the place where the voice was, but saw the crowd nearby, all of them frantically backwards with frightened faces, as if they had seen something particularly terrible.
A soldier standing in front of a phantom wall was now holding his head up to the sky and howling in pain, his body stumbling like a mad drunkard.
Above the warrior's head, a thick black mist was firmly coiled at this moment, like a swarm of bees, lingering, and faintly, a ghostly howl could be heard from it.
The dark sage's face changed drastically, and the moment he saw this scene again, he had already guessed that this unlucky fellow was afraid that he was occupied by the evil spirit sealed in the mirror of the phantom wall.
However, how could the evil spirits imprisoned in the phantom wall break through the seal?
Just as the Dark Sage was thinking, several more screams rang out from other places.
The Dark Sage, who had recovered from his astonishment, immediately knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered the entire army to evacuate.
However, this creepy scream spread wildly through the ranks like a plague, almost resounding throughout the phantom wall labyrinth.
The screams of pain of these warriors possessed by evil spirits did not last long, and their consciousness and bodies were completely occupied by the former.
When they stopped howling, those eyes, which were originally transparent and clear, instantly turned black as ashes.
These warriors, whose bodies were occupied by evil spirits, began to rush madly towards the crowd, like mad dogs, opening their mouths and ending the lives of their former teammates in the most primitive and savage way.
The screams that rushed to the sky suddenly annihilated the entire team, and in such chaos, the team was in chaos, how could they retreat in an orderly manner according to the command of the Dark Sage!
Like frightened birds, the team fled frantically towards the various passages of the phantom wall maze in confusion and panic, and no matter how angry the dark sage reprimanded, they were unable to reassemble the team.
Seeing this, the Dark Seer couldn't help but gasp.
If you lose your direction in the labyrinth of phantom walls, you may never be able to get out again.
At this moment, several warriors whose bodies had been possessed by evil spirits roared and headed straight for the Dark Sage.
He knew in his heart that these former companions had long been occupied by evil spirits and had completely lost themselves, so no mercy could save them from the abyss of evil spirits.
However, he still couldn't do it.
In the end, he had no choice but to escape.
The magic seal in the dark sage's hand changed, and a magical power surged out of his body.
His speed was increased to the extreme, and although the speed of the soldiers occupied by the evil spirits had exceeded the reach of ordinary creatures, they still did not even catch a shadow in front of him.
Galloping is his innate ability, he can unleash his full potential in an instant, thus increasing his speed to an extremely terrifying limit.
After completely shaking off these chasing evil spirits, the eyes of the Dark Sage showed a little bitterness.
But the pain in his heart did not stop him, he had to move forward, and he still needed to complete the mission he was taught.
As he went deeper, the Dark Sage was surprised to discover that the deeper he went, the more restless the evil spirits imprisoned in the mirror of the phantom wall became.
In other words, the strength of the evil spirits sealed in the depths of the phantom wall labyrinth is far more terrifying than the evil spirits on the periphery.
These evil spirits even began to pull out hideous and terrifying demonic marks on the mirror surface of the phantom wall.
If it weren't for the Dark Sage's incomparable belief in the consolidation of the Phantom Wall, he would have been too frightened to move forward.
As he walked along, whenever the Dark Sage looked at the mirrors of the phantom walls around him, he could see an evil spirit, simulating his own appearance, constantly tempting himself to approach in the mirror.
It is even said that these evil spirits can guess what is in your heart, and thus give you all the things that your heart desires and needs.
As a guardian who has guarded the labyrinth of the Phantom Wall for countless years, the Dark Sage can be extremely sure that the power of these evil spirits is far from being comparable to those on the periphery.
Perhaps, the troops he led before just failed to withstand the temptation of these evil spirits and lost themselves.
Perhaps, this is why so many people enter here, but no one ever goes out.
The silent advance continued, only this time, only the Dark Sage was alone.
I don't know how long I walked, but the Dark Sage suddenly felt the ground tremble, and the countless phantom walls around him also accompanied this fluctuation, sending out a heart-palpitating shock.
He knew that the tremor from the depths of the labyrinth of the phantom wall had reappeared.
The Dark Seer used his galloping power again, and with his incomparably sharp sense of smell, he quickly found the origin based on the trembling traces.
However, when he found the source of the shock, the scene in front of him made him fall into endless shock.
