Chapter 393: Arriving at the Ancient City
After recovering some of his psionic energy slightly, Leo tried to cast one of the attack techniques called Soul Flame, and as he used the psionic energy in his mind, a purple-black flame gradually condensed in his left hand.
Although it was a flame, it did not feel any warmth, but gave people an extremely cold feeling, which was not just a feeling, because a layer of frost condensed on the ground around the moment the flame appeared.
It's just that this is not the true power of the soul flame, according to the knowledge of dark arts obtained by Leo, when the soul flame is strong to a certain extent, it can directly attack the ethereal soul, and the power has no end, because among the more than 100 kinds of dark arts, there are more than 30 kinds of dark arts related to the soul flame, and the most powerful of them can even cause damage to omega-level advanced lifeforms according to Leo's estimate, which means that the dark art of soul flame is also considered strategic.
It's a pity that the soul flame is not like a thunder gun that can be directly cast through spiritual energy, and the power of the soul flame is directly related to the soul crystalline stone, like the soul flame that can cause damage to the omega-level high-level lifeforms, then a soul crystalline stone derived from the omega-level high-level lifeforms is needed, so this soul-flame is a bit chicken.
Now Leo can think of the most suitable place to use the soul flame is to integrate it into the Dao Soul Bonfire Trap, use the Soul Bonfire Trap to create Soul Crystal Stones, maintain the power of the Soul Flame, attack the living body that enters the trap, and make up for the defect of the Soul Bonfire Trap's weak attack power against the living body, and complement each other.
In addition to the defect of the Soul Crystal, Leo also found another flaw, that is, he could only use the left hand that fused with the eyes of the Abyss Great Serpent and Snake to cast the dark art of Soul Flame, or more accurately, all the dark magic could only be cast with the left hand, even if the right hand was also a part of the body, but it could not be cast either. And maybe because of the abyssal serpent's eyeballs, whether it is psionic energy or other powers that are cast through the left hand, some power will inevitably be weakened, but some other powers will seep in, some may be from the abyssal power, making the psionic skills and witchcraft a little different.
After learning a little about the characteristics of dark arts, Leo did not continue to try, but quietly cultivated, while thinking in his mind how to integrate dark arts into his combat system, how to maximize the power of dark arts without affecting himself.
I don't know how long it took, but when Leo felt that his body was almost recovered, he stopped thinking, stood up, picked up the scepter of the fire defense woman, walked out of the small hall, and returned to the prayer hall the same way he came.
Although the human pus was absorbed by the snake's eyes, Leo could no longer use the human pus to disguise, but obviously the snake eyes of the abyssal serpent were more advanced, and when Leo walked into the patrol area of those mutated monsters eroded by the power of the abyss, those monsters not only did not attack him, but avoided him in great fear, as if he was the embodiment of terror.
With the protection of the snake's eyes, Leo returned to the prayer hall in less time.
The bonfire in the prayer hall was still burning, and it was clear that the fuel used by the Ancient Tree of War to keep the flame burning was a big help.
Leo walked over to the campfire and raised his hand to insert the scepter into the fire.
As the fire maiden's scepter and the bonfire connected the way, a ray of light emanated from the sun symbol at the top of the scepter, straight into the sky, but after reaching a certain height, it suddenly seemed to be blocked by an invisible mirror, and refracted in the direction of Arnoll Lund at the top of the royal city, and then, the sky that was still day turned into night without warning, and there was no starlight in the night, only a cold silver moon suspended in the position where the sun hung in front of it.
Although the change in the sky surprised Leo a little, it did not cause Leo too much shock and suspicion, because before Leo had still guessed that the scene of the royal city during the day was just an illusion, and now it only confirmed his previous guess, but the process of confirmation was a little unexpected.
At this moment, the scepter of fire defense in the bonfire has returned to normal, but the sun emblem above the scepter is still shining with bursts of light, and it shines quite frequently, as if it is some kind of signal.
The change in the scepter and the sky did not have any effect on Leo, and after he was sure that the scepter showed no signs of continuing to change, he turned around and left the prayer hall directly, returned to the temple area the same way, and found a secret passage to the upper ancient city in the base of the god-king statue, and after finding nothing unusual, he walked into this secret passage that could be used by three people in parallel.
Just as Leo entered the secret passage, three figures appeared in the ruins of the prayer hall, all three of them were wearing different armors, one was wearing a simple but extremely striking brass armor, the other was wearing a silver-white ornate armor, and the other was a stone helmet armor, and all the armor covered their faces and bodies, and their faces could not be seen, and they could only be judged from their huge bodies of more than six meters, they were all non-human.
One of them, the man in brass armor, walked to the campfire, crouched down slightly, and reached out to touch the sun crest above the scepter, and the sun crest immediately bloomed with dazzling light, illuminating the entire ruins of the prayer hall, and then what had happened in this prayer hall was re-enacted in the form of a phantom fast-forward, and after about half an hour or so, the image finally froze at the moment when Leo inserted the scepter into the campfire.
At this time, the three warriors walked up to Leo's illusion and crouched down to take a closer look at Leo, and finally from the direction where the three people's helmets moved, it could be seen that their eyes all fell on Leo's left hand.
In this vision, Leo's left hand was completely different from the rest of his body, and he had become a strange hand with snake eyes on the back of his hand and a black oil-like substance on the surface.
After the illusion dissipated, the three warriors stood up, looked at each other, and then nodded tacitly, and then left from different directions, entering the streets of the lower city, all the living corpses and monsters blocking their way were harvested by them like weeds, and they carefully searched every place, it seemed that they were looking for Leo, but they didn't know that the target they were looking for was no longer in the lower city, and was passing through the secret passage, bypassing the sacred gate, and entering the upper ancient city.
At this time, Leo who came out of the secret passage slapped the dust on his body, turned around, and looked at the exit of the secret passage, as if he was thinking about something.
Although there were some living corpses in the secret passage, it did not cause Leo any trouble, and the biggest trouble for him was that this secret passage was a labyrinth at all, and it took him a lot of time to find the way to the upper ancient city.
Originally, the excavators of this secret passage may have only created a shortcut for the clergy of the upper ancient city to relax in the lower city, but it is clear that later people no longer saw it as a simple secret passage, and later people built it into a private space for the priests, and will also open up more than one shortcut to different parts of the royal city.
Just like Leo just took the wrong path and ended up in the catacombs below the royal city.
According to the information in that manual, the catacommodatib is a special existence in the royal city, which is the kingdom of the dead, and not only the ordinary people in the royal city will be buried in the underground cemetery after death, but even the gods will be sent to the underground cemetery after death.
After being buried in the Catacomics, the deceased will be resurrected according to their identities and become members of the Realm of the Dead, where ordinary people become bone warriors and the gods become Deathattendants, all of whom will serve in front of the Death Incarnation Seat deep in the catacomb.
No one knows what the death incarnation of the Catacomies is, not even the gods, they don't know much, they just know that the Catacomies have a mysterious existence that cannot be talked about in words, and this existence has the same status as the god king Gwen, and it will not be inferior because it is under the royal city.
The moment Leo enters the catacommodatib, he encounters some skeletal warriors.
It was clear that those bone warriors were not polluted by the power of the abyss, so the snake eye in his left hand could not stop these bone warriors from attacking.
It's just that these skeleton warriors are not very powerful in Renault's eyes, and except for their fearless fighting style, they are slightly inferior to ordinary human warriors in all other aspects.
However, these skeleton warriors still caused some trouble for Leo at the initial moment, because even if Leo scattered these skeleton warriors, the skeleton warriors would still recover quickly, and there was no recovery limit, which made Leo feel like he was in a battlefield with endless enemies even though he was only a dozen skeleton warriors who were easy to deal with.
However, things soon changed, and Leo's web weaver's mark suddenly activated automatically, and every time Leo killed the skeleton warrior, an invisible net would be formed to cover the skeleton warrior, grabbing something special on the skeleton warrior's body as if he were fishing, and retracting it into the mark.
With the help of the Web Weaver's Mark, Leo was able to easily deal with the skeletal warriors who had just caused him trouble.
While the skeleton warrior was being dealt with, the Web Weaver Mark did not cease to work, as if it were alive, constantly transmitting a direction to Leo, urging him to travel in that direction, which was the lowest level of the bottomless abyss in the catacombs.
Leo guessed that the reason why the Weaver Mark was abnormal at this time was probably because he sensed the death aura of the mysterious existence in the depths of the catacomies, which was very similar to the power of the god of death Gain, and it should also be the power that the god of death Gain liked to obtain.
Although the Webweaver Sigil kept sending urging messages, Leo was not swayed by the Webweaver Sigil, and he chose to retreat into the passage.
He knew very well and did not say whether he would be able to successfully enter the deepest part of the catacomposte, even if he reached the deepest part and saw the true master of the death realm of the catacomer, he would not have the slightest chance of coming out, because either the god of death Gain did not appear, and he had to face this mysterious existence alone, or the god of death Gain appeared, and he was involved in this battle that might involve omega-level higher life forms. Either way, he was dead, so he quickly made the wisest choice and retreated to the shortcut and left the catacomb.
After that, he found the right path to the upper ancient city, and finally came to the upper ancient city, but when he left the passage, he felt as if he had lost something most important, which made him feel the urge to go back and return to the underground graveyard.
Leo was well aware that this sense of loss did not stem from his own emotions, but was influenced by the Webweaver's mark, but it still affected him somewhat.
Eventually, Leo was able to shake off the effect and looked away from the exit of the passage and turned his head to look around.
Perhaps knowing that the image could not influence Leo's decision, the Web Weaver Mark no longer emits a mental power to Leo, and fell silent again.
Leo ignored the Webweaver's sigil, and his attention fell on the ancient city of the royal city within the city walls.
The exit of the secret passage is inside a high-walled tower, and from the windows of the tower, you can see the whole of the old town.
However, Leo couldn't help frowning after seeing the current situation of the ancient city, because the situation here seemed to be a little different from the information he saw in the book, and the old town mentioned in the book, although many places were dilapidated, the buildings could still be relatively intact.
But now the ancient city in front of him is a ruin, full of ruins and broken walls, and there are only a handful of buildings that can be called complete, and judging from the traces of these ruins, it is obvious that this place has experienced a great war, and both sides of the war are very powerful, at least above the seventh level psionic power,
He didn't care what was going on in the Old Town, who was fighting with whom, all he cared about was whether the passage back to Arm Island still existed.
So after he looked at his surroundings through his gaze, he began to find out where the passage was through his perception.
In fact, before entering the royal city, Leo had already sensed it, but the content of his perception at that time was very vague, and he just felt that the passage to answer Yam Island should be in the royal city, and now as he officially entered the ancient city, the perception that had always been vague before immediately became clear.
With this clear feeling, he quickly found the exact location of the passage, which happened to be in the only very large stone hall in the entire ancient city that had been preserved.
From the information in the book, Leo learned that the building was actually a place for the god-descended warriors to rest and train, and it was also the most dangerous and trouble-prone place in the entire ancient city, because it was recorded in the book that there were still god-born warriors still alive, and their location happened to be in the temple that he now regarded as a target.
