Volume 1 The Mystery of the Shadows Chapter 45 The Lamp of the Abyss

Faced with the sudden appearance of Buniel Lang, Flora's heart is not as calm as she appears. Regardless of the infernal aura on Bounier's arm, she was in a very unoptimistic state at this time...... Not only is his whole body injured, but there is also very little origin power left in his body, and he may not be able to deal with this former subordinate.

"How much did you hear my conversation with Nervenmor?"

Flora said coldly.

Bunier stepped into the main hall, casually glanced at the weapons on the surrounding walls, and said slowly, "Don't worry, although the content of your conversation seems to be amazing, I don't care. ”

He looked at Flora's body, smiled and said, "The most important person to me is you, Lady Flora." ”

"I don't recognize you." Flora said with a frown.

"You're mistaken." Bunier shook his head, "I should be bluntβ€”the most important thing for me is the Origin Power in you. ”

With that, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he stretched out his right hand to point at Flora's head.

A flame suddenly rose from Flora's forehead, and the [Abyssal Lamp], which had no temperature or harm, invisibly corroded her defenses, making her more vulnerable to Bunier than ever.

At this moment, Flora was very sure that Bunier had just picked Levi's appearance when he was leaving, and he had taken himself as a prey!

"You think the roles of the hunter and the prey are reversed, but that's not the case."

A voice came from Flora's side.

The air rippled like a wave of water, and Levi emerged from it, looking at Bunier Lang with a blank face.

"Your tracking skills are good, if it weren't for the smell of hell I've seen that I can't hide, I probably wouldn't have noticed your presence at all."

Buniel's face became solemn, he looked at Nevenmor, who was shrouded in black robes, and a cold thought flashed in his heart: it was calculated!

Flora glanced at Levi in surprise, frowned, and said, "You didn't go?" ”

Levi shook his head, he looked at Buniel calmly, and said slowly, "I saw a demon when I was in Oze, and it exuded the exact same aura as his left hand. ”

Before Flora could speak, Bunir took the opportunity to take a step forward, the tips of his demonized left fingers rising with dark gold, and his right hand aimed at Nevenmor's head, lighting the second [Abyss Lamp].

He knew very well that Neven Mor was the Grand Magister who had struck down the Lady of Secret, and if he didn't seize the opportunity, he wouldn't even be able to create a chance to escape.

Levi noticed a flame between his eyebrows, and instead of panicking, he began to chant smoothly and quickly.

Bunier, who rushed forward, only felt that his feet were weak, as if he was stepping on cotton, and he almost lost his balance and fell to the ground. He reacted quickly and threw forward, tumbling to jump, but what made him break out in a cold sweat was that two gates covered with sharp stone thorns appeared in front of him out of thin air, and before he could get up, they suddenly closed.

Bunier stepped on one of the stone slabs, the sole of his foot pierced by spikes, but he only frowned and got over the pain. With this kick, he kicked out with great force, and his body flew backwards, barely dodging the crush of two heavy stone doors.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Bunir noticed that nine orange-red dots of light appeared in the palm of Nevenmor's palm, and the dots of light turned into fiery snakes and flew towards him.

With his superior strength, Bunier forced his body in mid-air and shuttled through the nine fiery snakes, narrowly avoiding the magic, but he knew in his heart that he had fallen into an extremely passive situation.

As Buniel had expected, several green vines were already waiting for him in mid-air, wrapping around his body so that he could not break free for a while, followed by a dense mass of icy spears, these spears that shimmered with merciless cold light encircled him in the middle, each spear tip against his body.

[Quagmire], [Mousetrap], [Palm Fireworks], [Ugly Vine], [Queen's Spear].

In just one breath, Nevenmor used only five medium spells to make him lose the ability to resist.

It was an unparalleled spell connection, a perfect combination of calculation, speed, rhythm, and prediction, and Buniel couldn't help but be impressed that even the Great Magister who didn't use forbidden spells was still an out-and-out Sage.

"I swear by the rank of the Grand Magister that I will not kill you." Levi slowly walked up to Bunier and looked up, "Just tell me where your power comes from." ”

Bunier felt the sharp chill all over his body, his back was soaked with cold sweat, he grinned and said, "How can I be sure that you are not a man of promises?" ”

Levi sighed and said, "Then you go and die." ”

Dozens of Queen's spears pierced at the same timeβ€”

"Wait!" Bunier felt a sharp pain all over his body, but fortunately he shouted in time, and the frost spear immediately stopped moving, only piercing through the skin and muscles, not deeply.

Behind Levi, Flora looked at Bunnier with some amusement and said, "Are you cunning or stupid?" At such a time, I want to talk about the conditions. ”

As Bunier gave up his resistance, the Abyssal Lamp in front of Levi and Flora's foreheads quietly went out.

Bunier sighed and said, "I'll tell you everything you want to know, and I don't ask you to spare me, but to spare me." ”

Levi was silent for a while, then said, "I want to know what the Abyss Lamp is, and what is the origin of the claw of your left hand, if you tell me the truth, I will only cut off one of your arms." ”

Flora raised an eyebrow, the name [Abyssal Lamp] first came out of her mouth, but she didn't expect to be noticed by Levi.

"Thank you for your kindness." Buniel gritted his teeth, he took a deep breath, and said, "The Abyssal Lamp is an origin power from the [Deep Blue Court], and although it cannot directly deal damage, it can lock the enemy's location and greatly weaken the enemy's defenses. ”

"You're a bloodline warrior?" Levi asked.

"No, I'm a purebred human, not a merfolk descendant." Bunir smiled reluctantly, "To tell you the truth, the Origin Warrior who opened up the [Abyss Lamp] is called the [Abyss Guard], and I have made a pact with one of the Abyss Guard's relics. ”

"So, you're a contract warrior." Flora smiled and said, "However, I know about the Abyssal Lamp, and your information is worthless. ”

Buniel's eyes rolled to look at Flora, "What do you want?" ”

"The relic." A hint of cunning flashed in Flora's eyes, "Being able to provide you with the power of the Abyss Lamp as a contract object, this relic must be extraordinary, right?" ”

Listening to Flora's words, Bunier smiled wryly and said, "I didn't bring it into the Himereung......"

Flora didn't believe it at all, and was about to expose his lie, but was interrupted by Levi, who said to Buniel: "I am a trustworthy man, and I will not ask you for anything else." ”

Bunier swallowed a mouthful of saliva, narrowed his eyes and said, "Thank you for your generosity." ”

He paused and said, "This demon arm can devour life and absorb essence, and I originally planned to use it to devour three strong enemies who were close to the Sage rank, and then use it to promote Sage...... But who knew that two sages appeared in the tomb of Ji at once, haha. ”

He smiled dryly, glanced at Nevenmor, then at Flora, and didn't dare say anything more.

"You told what it did, but I asked where it came from." Levi said lightly, "If I'm not mistaken, this demonic power doesn't belong to you. ”

It was obvious that in Buniel's body, the power of the Abyssal Lamp and the demon's claws could not coexist harmoniously, and the latter was mostly temporarily attached to Buniel's body in a parasitic form.

Buniel's eyes changed one after another, and he smiled and said, "This arm comes from a ritual that communicates hellβ€”"

"Who is its owner?" Levi interrupted Buniel's lie, "Don't try to deceive me, I know everything about rituals." ”

In other words, Levi recognizes that Buniel's claws come from the demon who is chasing Ciel, and he wants to find out who Ciel's reflection of consciousness is.

In the depths of Silver Hime's consciousness, who is the most feared person?

Burnier Lang struggled inwardly, he could never tell Gustave Blaze's secret, but he couldn't think of a way to get through it, and fell silent for a moment.

"There is no need to lose your life for the so-called master." Levi smiled and said, "If you don't answer me, you'll die here right away." ”

Buniel looked at Nevenmore, his lips trembled slightly, and he said slowly, "Okay." ”

He narrowed his eyes and said seriously, "My master, the one who lent me the demonic power in this arm...... It's Your Majesty. ”

Flora was stunned, and she said suspiciously, "You mean, it's Wales XX?" As the monarch of the Land of the Sun, he was contaminated with demonic powers? ”

"That's right." Bunir showed a frank smile, "I am Your Majesty's person, and it was Your Majesty who ordered me to enter the Ji Mausoleum and secretly promote the Sage. ”

His words were unequivocal, not like lies.

But Levi didn't think so, and the answer given by Bunier did not match his guess, and the more important reason was that he knew very well that the people secretly sent by King Cavendish were actually Hill and Archer.

It seems that Bunier Lang does not intend to betray the big man behind him.

Levi nodded and said, "I see." ”

Dozens of Queen's spears pierced out at the same time, staggering through Bunir's body, and under his shocked and desperate gaze, Nevenmor turned around and walked towards Flora without looking back, as if he had no consciousness of breaking his oath at all, as if he had just done what he was supposed to do.

Neven Morr......

"You're a ...... The devil ......" Bunier's body fell to the ground, his eyes widened, dark red blood foamed from his mouth, and the depths of his eyes revealed an unwilling fire, but this faint fire was silently extinguished after all.

He died, and his eyes darkened.

Flora glanced at Bournier's body, looked at Levi, and said, "You don't believe his words?" ”

Instead of answering her, Levi said, "I don't believe it, he heard our conversation, and it was impossible to let him go from the beginning." ”

As the two were talking, a glimmer of light emanated from Buniel's corpseβ€”

Levi turned and stared at the source of the light: it was a coaster-sized square card, floating from Buniel's arms, suspended in midair, spinning at an extremely slow pace.

On the front of the card, a flaming golden trident is drawn, and the flames wrapped around the blade of the halberd seem to come to life, jumping on the surface of the card, and the light is emanating from the firelight.

On the other side of the card, there are several strange characters written in unfamiliar mysterious characters.

Levi stretched out his hand and was about to cast [Telekinesis], only to find that the card was not moved by magic, but was spinning on its ownβ€”it spun faster and faster, then pierced the air and flew towards the window, disappearing into the dark blue starry sky outside the main hall in the blink of an eye.

"Do you know where this card came from?" Levi said with a frown as he stared in the direction it was leaving.

Flora shook her head and said, "I don't know, the Trident is the weapon of the Dark Blue Court...... Maybe it has something to do with the Abyssal Lamp. ”

"Where's the text on the card?" Levi asked.

"Something familiar, it seems to be a branch language of some ancient civilization, perhaps older than the era of the Elemental Text." Flora sighed.

Levi silently memorized those characters and didn't think about it for a while. He withdrew his gaze, touched his chin, and said, "I suddenly remembered something...... Have you ever heard of [the shrine]? ”

"Shrine ......," Flora repeated in a low voice, "isn't it the urn, what's wrong?" ”

"Nothing." Levi shook his head.

After a pause, he looked into Flora's eyes and said lightly, "Now, I'm really going to slay the dragon...... Do you want to go into Oze with me? ”

Flora raised her eyebrows, raised her chin slightly, and said, "Even if I can't directly fight against the Lord of Frost, my power can help you." ”

Levi didn't say anything more, he held out his hand, as if he were inviting a female companion at a ball.

Looking at Levi's palm, Flora smiled and placed her remaining right hand in his.

Levi took out the Libra Hourglass and turned it upside down, and countless stars lit up.

A minute later, their bodies twisted and engulfed their figures.

When the two of them held hands and shuttled through the mirror to return to Ozer, they did not enter the master hall on the other side as expected, but appeared on the outside of the Black Void Tower.

The situation was very unexpected, and the shuttle position of the Libra hourglass was deviated, but fortunately the deviation was not serious.

"How so?"

In mid-air, Levi put his arm around Flora's waist to prevent her from falling.

Flora stared at the obsidian tower in front of her, learning more about the void, and speculated, "Maybe the reality here is more distorted, and even the mirror space is distorted, making it impossible to travel accurately." ”

Levi lifted the Libra Hourglass and noticed a crack on the surface of the bucket on the side of the starry sky.

"Flights here are suppressed, as outside the Himereung." Levi slowly descended to the ground outside the tower with Flora in his arms.

Around them, in addition to the black Tower of Nothingness, there were eight giant statues. Although I had seen them from afar before, standing at the foot of the statues, I felt that they were very grand.

"It's ...... over there"

Flora gently pushed Levi's chest away and took a few steps forward, staring at the sky in the distance.

In the distance of Γ–ze, under the clear sky, there was a large expanse of the sky that shone frosty white, incompatible with the surrounding blue sky. Beneath that chilly sky, dense snowflakes fluttered and swirled at great speed, and the wind blurred the vision, making it impossible to see inside.

"It's a forbidden spell." Levi stood behind Flora, looking over there as well.

He narrowed his eyes and said to himself, "Is this a new forbidden spell that has never appeared before, an extremely cold breath......

Flora turned to Levi and asked, "Is it Rudolph?" ”

"No, it's not a forbidden spell cast by the reflection of consciousness." Levi shook his head and said, "In the Himereung, there is another true Grand Magister...... Strictly speaking, she is a sage from the past. ”

With that, he didn't stop any longer, and walked to the gate at the foot of the Tower of Nothingness.

"From the past......" Flora furrowed her eyebrows at Levi's description, remembering Aorako's prophecy about the "Three Sages".

Seeing Levi walking farther and farther, she frowned and quickly followed.

Secretly in the opera house, looking at the empty black wooden coffin on the stage, Archer clenched his fists.

After all, were you still deceived by Nevenmor?

She gritted her teeth and slammed her fist into the edge of the coffin.

"Isn't the Heart of Terrella here?"

Hill Manvenlin sat in her seat in the theater, scanning the ice spears and corpses around her, reaching out to wipe the blood from the corners of her mouth.

Archer was silent for a moment and said, "What should I do, General Hill?" ”

Ciel's long, silver-white hair was draped behind her, and she set aside the dragon's horn bow touch, tugging at the wound on her chest, a pained expression on her face.

"Maybe it's not that simple." She took a deep breath and said lightly, "Someone came here one step ahead of us. ”

"Is it Nevenmor?" There was a complicated look in Archer's eyes.

Hill shook his head and said, "I don't know either. ”

As for the fact that "Athena" is actually Archer Blaze, she can't let go, but she can't pursue it.

Hill was doing things for His Majesty Cavendish in the first place, and it didn't make a difference who His Majesty asked her to work with...... It's just that Athena is the Fire Rose, but she is the daughter of the Duke of Glory, which makes the position and relationship between the two very delicate.

"Does your father know about your coming to Jiling?" Hill asked in a low voice.

Archer hesitated and shook his head. She raised her head, looked into Hill's eyes and said, "I don't know much about what happened back then, but I definitely didn't deceive you...... When it comes to earning the Heart of Terella, I just want to do my best to fulfill His Majesty's request. ”

Looking at Archer's determined expression, Hill didn't speak. King Cavendish secretly commissioned her daughter to enter the tomb of the Tomb to seize the dragon's heart without the knowledge of Duke Brilliant - Hill knew that the water in Slom was very deep, and she didn't want to delve into His Majesty's intentions, but when it came to the enemies of the Manwenlin family, everything was not so simple.

She remained silent, thinking in silence that she needed to make a choice, whether it was the secret behind Ji Ling or the next step.

No matter what, we have to move forward.

"At this point, everything is out of plan and control." Hill said slowly, "There's only one place...... While dangerous, the real answer is most likely hidden there. ”

A hint of hope flashed in Archer's eyes.

"Where?"

"The Great Hall of the Masters." Hill said.

High in the air above Γ–ze, a dark shadow was flying in the direction of the Tower of Nothingness.

Terella's black hair danced in the wind, and her scarlet pupils were as calm as water. Her eyes reflected the eight stone statues, and the giant tower behind them.

"Who the hell am I......"

She muttered.

"Someone I choose?"

Levi...... Why does the name linger in my head?
