Chapter 32: The Sky Mirror
The Sealed Lands, the Periphery.
There was no trace of life, only the earth, covered in dark red quicksand, and the deathly silence was torn apart by some tyrannical force. The entire altar was littered with fissures, some of which were bottomless, and shards of brown rock were scattered to the ground, and dust flew in the windβas if a beast of prey had gouged through the vicinity with its claws.
Violent winds raged across the earth, stirring up the boiling sand like pillars of the air currents, revealing a black mass of rock below.
Yalei's figure shuttled left and right in the wind, and every punch, every movement, made a subtle explosion sound, and it seemed like the strong wind of the fist exploded, and it seemed like the bones in the body were shaking.
In the process, the bones and muscles of the black-haired knight's body slowly squirmed, blood rushed in the veins, and the black cracks in the sky were still spewing hot air, but he didn't even sweat a drop.
The pores on the body seem to be firmly locked from the inside out by a force, and the pores are all closed, locking in the huge heat inside the body, and efficiently transforming it into fighting energy, without a trace of waste.
Bang!
With the touch of his fists, Yalei's figure suddenly stopped in the strong wind, and the entire wind pillar collapsed instantly as if it had lost its support, and the rushing air waves rolled up the wild sand and splashed in all directions, and the entire sky above the altar suddenly became a scene of sandstorms.
"Three months have passed in a flash......"
The black-haired knight in a straw skirt sat down on a stone tablet, and after two or three bites of the fruit, fruit, and fruit sent by Parisis, he glanced at his arm that was a little thicker:
"As expected. There is still a slight gap between the natural disaster, and it really doesn't work without the pressure of actual combat......"
Ahh
Several blue arcs of lightning suddenly burst out from the center of the altar, and a blue dot suddenly expanded. Expanding into a spherical space with lightning splashing, the half-human, half-spider figure slowly squeezed out of it, and a huge black shadow soon obscured half of the altar.
"The appointed day has come, young and strong, are you ready?"
The Nightmare Lord's limbs flicked and rumbled to Arley, and the jaws at the front of it held a bamboo basket filled with fresh fruit.
"Yes. β
The black-haired knight wiped the juice off his mouth. glanced at the basket of fruits that Palicia had brought, and showed a serious expression:
"Compared to this...... I want to have a meat meal before I leave. β
"Eat meat?"
The Nightmare Lord narrowed eight pairs of compound eyes and nodded meaningfully. The giant jaw on the abdomen opened and closed, making a clicking and rubbing sound, and the huge body moved towards the other party little by little.
"Think about it...... In fact, it's the same when you come back and eat again. β
Areton stood up from the stele and glanced at the spherical space that was still bursting with electric light. Looking back at Parisis's compound eyes that blinked in turn:
"Don't waste any more time. Let's go. β
"The door has long been opened. β
The Nightmare Lord stopped where he was, turned and pointed to the spherical space in the center of the altar: "There leads to the core of the Sealed Lands, where you will wrestle with him in a flood of memories until that terrible monster sleeps again." β
"I'll just go in. β
The black-haired knight nodded, walked over to the stone tablet where he had placed his clothes, took out the sealed star meter, rinsed it with his own drinking water, and swallowed it directly into his mouth. With a wave of his hand at Parisis, he walked into the spherical space alone.
Whew!
The moment he entered the space. The spherical space suddenly closes, shrinking into a single blue point of light, and finally disappears completely.
......
Yalei felt as if he was floating in the void of space, his body was light and powerless, time and space seemed to have lost their effect, and his consciousness was weightless.
Then, the silent space was broken by the crisp sound of closing.
The door is open.
The void gradually drifted into a murmuring voice, a thick fog drifted out of nowhere, and neatly spaced thunder and lightning shone one one after another, and the bright blue light jumped powerfully in the void.
The black-haired knight fell as lightly as a leaf.
When he came to his senses, he found himself standing on the surface of the endless blue sea, the surface of the water was like a mirror, reflecting the breathtaking beauty of the sky that seemed to be not earthly.
This is the Sky Mirror?
Yalei stood quietly on the deep blue jewel-like sea, slowly emptying his mind, sinking into the realm of void fluctuations, waiting for the torrent of memories to attack.
I don't know how long it took, but the surrounding scene began to change, the waves of the sea that were always as smooth as a mirror rippled, and the storm of light and lightning gradually stopped. The thick fog and sharp lightning that hung over the ocean vanished without a trace in an instant, and a clear sky covered with stars covered the distant horizon.
As the ripples began to manifest one by one, spreading across the ocean, unparalleled power condensing beneath the surface, and the silent melody from the depths of the Sky Mirror reverberated throughout the Sealed Lands.
A soft breeze, blowing from nowhere, with a strong smell of blood, instantly stained the entire Sky Mirror red.
Here it comes!
The black-haired knight watched all this calmly, and he could feel that there was a huge force gathered in the space, and a regular and precise project was being carried out.
Time, space, matter, and energy are rewoven with the rhythm of the sky realm...... The clouds dissipated, the thunder annihilated, the sea boiled and collapsed downward, and a towering real world suddenly appeared in front of Yalei.
On the receding earth, a circular building large enough to hold hundreds of thousands of people stood majestically in front of the black-haired knight, like an impassable mountain, obscuring all his vision.
"This is the dream that His Majesty Figoreth has woven for him, the endless gladiatorial arena. Parisis's whisper suddenly appeared in his ears like a mist.
"What should I do?" he said, trying to communicate with consciousness.
"Enter the gladiatorial arena in two minutes, fight that guy for ten minutes, and after ten minutes, the power of the seal will be restored. The Nightmare Lord replied quickly.
"Ten minutes...... It's another heart-pounding battle......"
Aree licked his lips and took a stride towards the entrance to the open arena in front of him.
Passing through the long, unguarded passageway, a quate gold gate carved with a twin sword strike pattern came into view, and a weapon rack with various weapons placed on it was placed next to the door.
The black-haired knight thought for a moment, drew a long sword with a sword hanging from it, tied it around his waist, and walked quickly to the gate in front of him.
"Time Giants ......"
The pure gold gate carved with the pattern of the two swords striking each other slowly opened in front of Yalei, and a land as red as blood suddenly occupied the black-haired knight's entire sight.
He grasped the hilt of his sword in one hand and strode into the flood of memories of the sealer.
"The Endless Arena will welcome its 19057426 th challenger, and we'll see what surprises this new-faced warrior will bring!"
The emcee's deep voice spread throughout the audience, and the echo suddenly set off bursts of cheers.
With a deliberately long tone, Yalei stepped into the endless gladiatorial arena under the rain of roses, and looking at the cheering faces in the audience, the black-haired knight couldn't help but feel a tingle in his scalp.
If I hadn't known in advance that they were just the memories of the sealers, I would have thought of them as living people, and if it was really a dream, it would have been too real.
Yalei quickly eliminated distracting thoughts, and his eyes were fixed on the still closed Adamantite Gate opposite, silently raising his strength to the peak.
"Giants, giants!"
"Giants, giants!"
"Giants, giants!"
On the other side of the hot sand battlefield, a pure gold gate carved with a pattern of two swords striking each other is slowly opening. The restless cheers of hundreds of thousands of spectators became clear in an instant, and the scattered turbulence condensed into an oppressive wind that swept through the entire gladiatorial arena.
Everyone in the audience stood up, clapped their hands, and shouted a name in unison.
Areley stared intently at the sealer slowly emerging from the shadow of the building, his gaze froze slightly at the other side.
The other man was so tall that the tallest man he had ever seen in his life was Nannett, who was nine feet tall and a talking humanoid orangutan. And the one in front of him was actually twelve feet tall, with a rough and savage face, and his muscles were as strong as pig iron forging, and his bare feet could shake the earth slightly with every step.
"No wonder it's called a giant ......"
The black-haired knight looked at the figure of the other party walking with his bare hands, and did not dare to be careless at all, and instantly drew the long sword in his hand.
Although I don't have a natural calamity armament, my void fluctuation is undoubtedly a sixth-order realm, the legendary sealer, let me see and see, you in the torrent of memory, how to crack the light wheel sword!
In the next moment, Yalei swung a horizontal slash beautifully, and the dark cyan light wheel roared out from the tip of the sword, and flew towards the giant on the opposite side - this was only the lowest level of light wheel slash, there was no change and no level, but it was sharp enough to shatter the alloy.
The black-haired knight stared intently at his opponent, who was motionless like a sculpture, and subconsciously held his breath.
Just as the sharp wheel of light was about to hit its target, the giant finally moved, blinking slightly, and the wheel of light that flew in front of him suddenly collapsed, as if disintegrating from within, and disappeared into a piece of light.
All that remained in Are's eyes was the blinking eyes of the sealer, the sword light that dissipated like fireworks around him.
β......β
The black-haired knight's heart was broken at the moment.
Whoosh!
A dazzling light flashed through the space, and then, a deafening crash pierced through people's eardrums, and a wide ravine hundreds of yards long appeared in the center of the arena without warning. The dust that was ejected from the surface formed a magnificent waterfall in mid-air, obscuring the view of all spectators.
At the other end of the ravine, Yalei, covered in scars, held the sword in both hands and struggled to stand firm from the mud and sand. (To be continued.) )
