Ace has been thinking about strategy.

He immediately took out several pre-prepared magic scrolls from his arms. Found the high-level magic scroll of the wind system, the Hurricane Vortex.

Ace thought that if the water shield did disappear later, he would use this scroll to form a powerful whirlwind in the water, thus forming a whirlwind that was connected to the surface of the water, so that he could use the whirlwind to push the water away and quickly fly out of the water with the help of dragon wings.

Now that there is a countermeasure, Ace does not have the initial panic.

But looking at the bottom of the lake, it was still pitch black, and Ace couldn't see anything. He was still a little uneasy about it.

The unknown is the scariest of all.

Suddenly, Ace felt the rate of descent slow down. He felt the water again with his fingers and found that his sensation was correct. He did fall to the bottom of the lake much slower, and it was slowing down.

It didn't take long for Ace to come to a complete stop, and he was suspended in a water shield.

When he looked around, it was all pitch black.

At this time, he took out a magic stone of holy light and illuminated the scene in the water, even if he could only see a few meters around him.

However, when he took out the Philosopher's Stone, he found that the light could not penetrate the strange flow of water at all, and the light could only be maintained within the range of the water shield.

Just when Ace was at a loss, he suddenly heard the sound of flowing water. He quickly looked back and saw that the water shield around his body had indeed slipped off by something sharp, and a stream of water splashed onto his clothes.

But because the speed of that thing is so fast, I don't know what it is.

As he thought, there were more and more water arrows around him, and Ace's dry clothes were soon soaked again.

The most important thing is that every time Ace looks back, he can't see clearly. It looks like I've been toyed with by something.

Just as Ace was looking down, the darkness at the bottom of the lake suddenly lit up.

Ace looked down and found himself floating more than 20 meters from the bottom of the lake.

Although the bottom of the lake is illuminated, the surrounding lake is still dark. That is, Ace still can't see what is constantly swimming around him.

Look at the bottom of the lake, there are all kinds of monster corpses everywhere, piled up.

What shocked Ace even more was that the corpses had apparently been sleeping here for a long time, but they were well preserved, as if the beasts were not dead but asleep.

"It turns out that the water of this sacred lake has a strong antiseptic effect." Ace finally understood something. No wonder Leonardo da Vinci Kyle turned into a ghost and asked Ace to come here to find the corpse of the elemental.

However, after Ace looked around, he still couldn't find the corpse of the ancient elemental envoy.

At this moment, Ace heard a rough voice: "Human, what are you looking for?"

Ace immediately became alert, looking around for the source of the sound.

However, he felt sound waves coming from all directions, but could not determine the exact location of the sound source.

Ace suddenly became very nervous and clenched the scroll in his hand.

Ace didn't answer the unknown creature's question, still vigilant.

"Human, are you looking for this?"

As the sound dropped, a huge monster body slowly floated upwards from the bottom of the lake.

Ace saw it clearly, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Calamity-level Demonic Beast Lava Demon King?"

Ace was completely shocked. Even the catastrophic level demonic beasts died in this Moonlight Lake?

You know, the Lava Lord is just as powerful as the Holy Magi!

At this time, Ace regretted it a little. It seems that he is really too confident and reckless.

What happened next scared Ace even more.

"Looks like no! So, are you looking for this?"

It's louder again.

As soon as his voice lowered, Ace saw two more corpses.

Is there anyone at the bottom of the lake? This is something Ace never imagined!

When Ace clearly saw the faces of these two people, his whole body began to tremble slightly.

Two men, a man and a woman, were the first generals of the New Delhi Empire, Kinley Cole and Emperor

The most famous sorceress in the history of the country, Huth Avatar.

It is said that after they left the imperial city together, they all disappeared inexplicably and never appeared again.

Who would have thought that they all died in the Holy Lake?

Their statues once stood outside the imperial capital. One can imagine how high their place in the history of the empire in New Delhi was!

It is said that Banley's strength far exceeds the level of a warlord and should reach a level similar to that of a holy magician.

Avatar is also the strength of a divine magician.

"What? Isn't that what you're looking for?" The voice sounded again.

At the same time, the corpses fell weakly to the bottom of the lake and were piled up haphazardly.

Who would have thought that the two founding fathers, who were worshipped by countless people of the New Delhi Empire, would have such a tragic end after their deaths.

At this time, Ace only felt cold, the kind of cold that penetrated deep into the bone marrow. Maybe the water at the bottom of the lake was too cold, or maybe fear made him feel weak.

"What the hell are you looking for, little thing?"

Hearing that terrible sound that seemed to come from the abyss made Ace tremble.

He kept his fears to a minimum, saying, "I'm looking for Hades!"

The voice sneered, "Hades? Do you want to find him? He's been out of this world for a long time, and you won't find him!"

Ace said, "Even if I can't find him, I'll try to make contact with him!"

As Ace spoke, he kept glancing around, trying to determine the other person's location.

"What? Want to know where I am?"

As soon as the voice fell, Ace saw a big black fish flying from a distance.

The speed is extremely fast, in the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of Ace, this black fish is about the size of a human head, the eyes are blue, at this time, the fish is suspended in the water, facing Ace's eyes, almost glued together.

"Is that you? The creature that just spoke?" Ace asked in a low voice.

But Ace only used the dragon's inheritance secret technique, but he couldn't find any life nearby. So where did this fish come from?

The big black fish was still staring at Ace.

"You can think it's me or it's me!"

Hearing this, Ace was a little confused. He didn't know what the other person meant.

Suddenly, the blue-eyed black fish was instantly smashed and scattered in the lake.

Then, a huge monster corpse floated up from the bottom of the lake.

"That's, that's the Blazing Tiger?" Ace's eyes narrowed as he looked at the horrible corpse.

The voice said, "Now, I'm the Blazing Tiger!"

Before Ace could recover, the huge corpse of the Blazing Tiger fell to the bottom again. At the same time, Kinley Cole's body comes to Ace again, he is a completely "resurrected" Kinley Cole, but his eyes take on a strange blue color.

"Little one, I can be any creature or anyone. If you die, I can be you, too!"

"Kinley Cole" looked at Ace, "Little one, your soul is clean. You are not an elemental, but you have the bloodlines of an elemental. Half of the bloodline of the Elemental Envoy also resides in your soul. I think it's going to taste very tasty!"

Hearing this, Ace couldn't help frowning. He was looking for an escape and his right hand involuntarily reached to his chest. There is a high-level magic scroll about the wind system.

He was ready to crush it at any moment to escape.

"What? Don't you want to stay? Look, it's good here! The lake here will keep you alive forever and your body will never decay. Wouldn't that be great? Look, the artwork under your feet is perfect! The moment they die is the pinnacle of their strength. Isn't that great?"

Hearing this, Ace was scared into a cold sweat.

"Stay here! Here, death is eternal life, and you will sleep forever. But you can enjoy your dreams to the fullest. How wonderful!"

That voice has always fascinated Ace, and every word is like a sharp blade, constantly destroying Ace's will.

At this time, the sun and moon mark on Ace's forehead shone again, and a clear spring-like breath instantly entered Ace's brain, causing him to immediately wake up from some confused consciousness.

"Say no more!" Ace roared, immediately crushing the scroll in his hand

Wind reels roll.

In an instant, under the force of the hurricane, the sea water began to rotate around Ace.

Ace was in the whirlpool, his robes constantly moving.

"Hahaha, little thing, aren't you impressed at all? It's wonderful to live forever!"

"Kinley-Cole" tried his best to confuse Ace, but Ace was already sober and didn't give him any chance to confuse.

As the speed of the water increased, the lake around Ace's body began to retreat to both sides, and a vacuum had formed around his body.

However, the hurricane's rotation had not yet reached the surface of the lake, so Ace could not soar.

Meanwhile, "Kinley Cole" is still trying to confuse Ace and doesn't seem to want to give up.

Ace turned a deaf ear to this. The dark magic in his body continued to flow, allowing all of his power to reach its peak in an instant.

Seeing that Ace didn't seem to be affected too much, "Kinley Cole" suddenly became angry. He yelled, "Bastard! What do you think this place is? Come as you want, go as you want!"

Ace saw countless corpses piled up at the bottom of the lake and seemed to be resurrected. They slowly drifted in the direction of Ace. The eyes are now shining with blue light.

Ace was taken aback by the sudden scene and immediately recited a spell. Countless dark shields suddenly appeared in the water.

The shields were stacked around Ace, forming a black shield that blocked the corpse's progress.

Ace seized the opportunity to continue looking upward.

At this point, the whirlpool has largely formed, and it is not expected to take too long to reach the lake directly.

Ace had to sigh that the power of this Wind Demon Scroll was really great and could extend for several kilometers.

At the same time, a phenomenon appeared on the surface of the lake.

Looking at the calm and undisturbed surface of the lake, it suddenly began to rotate slowly. Simon and Jennifer couldn't help but worry.

Obviously, something must have happened at the bottom of the lake, otherwise there would not have been such an anomaly.

On the other hand, in a strange way, Zialo said, "Oh, it's great to be able to make some movement! I thought that guy was going to die quietly at the bottom of the lake!"

Jennifer was angry when she heard this, but now she was more worried about Ace's safety and was in no mood to argue with him.

"Teacher, is Ace okay?" Jennifer asked anxiously.

Simon smiled wryly and shook his head, "I don't know! I hope he's okay!"

"Are you still in the dying throes of the needless?"

"Kinley Cole" instantly came to Ace's side, and his hands suddenly reached for Ace's chest.

At this point, Ace withdrew the white dragon ball, and the water shield around him disappeared.

Looking at those terrifying palms, Ace immediately recited a spell. "Dark Entanglement" appeared instantly, cutting and shredding "Kinley Cole's" clothes, while there were countless wounds on his skin, but strangely, no blood came out of the wounds, only some strange pale blue liquid.

Ace snorted coldly, "If this is what you call eternal life, it would be so tragic!"

Ace whispered, "Dark Arrow Rain!"

As his voice fell, countless black arrows appeared around him, stabbing at "Kinley Cole" in the head.

Cole didn't budge, watching the thick black arrows pierce his forehead.

However, those terrible hands that reached Ace's chest did not stop, and they were about to touch Ace's body.

At this time, Ace's heart moved slightly, and a pair of huge black wings immediately appeared behind him. His wings shook, and Ace swept backwards for a distance of five or six meters, and his hands couldn't reach him.

Looking down, countless "resurrected" corpses rushed towards the water space where Ace was.

All sorts of powerful monsters roared

Rush to Ace's side.

Ace immediately used his dark magic "Extreme Speed" to move through the space created by the water.

At this point, all he has to do is buy as much time as he can. Once the whirlpool air reaches the surface of the lake, Ace is able to successfully break out of the lake.

Meanwhile, Simon and Jennifer on the lake are already extremely nervous.

The whirlpool that suddenly appeared on the surface of the water was already spinning faster and faster.

The whirlpools stretched downward, but they still couldn't see what was happening at the bottom of the lake, so they had to worry.

"Cole" followed in his footsteps, ignoring the rampaging monster corpses and following Ace directly.

Without saying a word, he grabbed Ace by the back.

Although Ace didn't look back, he noticed an unusually cold aura behind him. But there's no time to think about it right now.

Ace didn't have time to look for directions, and he rushed in front of a sharp-toothed dragon.

The sharp-toothed dragon's eyes flashed blue, and it slammed straight at Ace.

Ace didn't have time to dodge at this time, he subconsciously raised his hand to resist the impact of the sharptoothed dragon.

There was only a "whoosh", and the head of the sharptoothed dragon fell. Ace was not injured.

Ace was a little stunned, looked at the dagger in his hand, and couldn't help but exclaim, "So sharp!"

The daggers were a gift from Ari Stark when he set out.

Ace also named the pair of daggers.

You must know that the sharptoothed dragon is a ninth-level demonic beast, and its strength is not far from the legendary catastrophe level.

The body of the dragon-shaped monster is so strong that it can be said to be comparable to steel.

When Ace resisted just now, he just subconsciously raised his hand without exerting any force. But even so, the head of the seemingly arrogant sharp-toothed dragon was cut off in an instant.

One can imagine how sharp these two daggers were.

Just when Ace was a little stunned, a giant sea turtle suddenly knocked him out directly. qs

Ace let out a muffled humming sound. He felt as if his bones were broken. The pain made him bare his teeth and exhale in pain.

However, while the bodies of these monsters are very strong, fortunately, they have lost their souls and, like the walking dead, do not have the ability to think for themselves. So Ace used the protection of the "hidden" magic in the air to escape from here.

"I can see your soul, you can't run away!"

"Cole" laughs again and chases after Ace.

Looking up, the whirlpool was more than a kilometer high at this time. It is expected to be connected to the lake soon.

Ace didn't hesitate to fly high, trying to get out of Cole's pursuit.

As he flew, he recited a spell. Suddenly, more black shields appeared in the water, blocking the way of pursuing the demonic beast.

Most of these soulless monsters rely on instinct and have no ability to think at all, so when trapped, they will only struggle and roar desperately.

Ace's body turned into a blue light and flew towards the water.

He didn't seem to be in a hurry. Just slowly follow Ace.

"You can't escape, and all the lives that enter Moonlight Lake can't escape!"

Cole's deep voice rang out behind Ace.

Ace completely ignored this. In his opinion, now he has only one possibility of escape, and that is to fly through this whirlpool to the lake.

Ace looked up at the whirlwind that was getting closer and closer to the lake, and kept saying in his heart: Hurry up! Hurry up!

At this time, Ace was even able to see light through his night vision. This shows that you are not far from the water.

And the flying speed of the magic dragon's wings is really terrifying, and the speed is no less than Ace's infinite use of the "speed" magic. In addition, with the flight of the magic dragon wings, Ace does not need to spend any dark magic and physical strength at all, just one thought is enough.

Suddenly, Ace felt the light shining brightly above his head. The whirlpools on the surface of the lake are connected to the whirlpools at the bottom of the lake. Ace couldn't help but laugh. He was finally running away from this terrible lake.

Then

Cole smiled strangely.

Ace sped up to the water.

Jennifer and Simon breathe a sigh of relief when they see Ace safely back into the lake from the shore.

However, before Ace could finish laughing, he suddenly felt a terrifying force grab his body and pull him back to Moonlight Lake.

It's a soul bondage, not an external force.

Ace's entire body fell at high speed, and soon fell into the lake again. His loud roar still echoed in the air: "No!"

And Jennifer and Simon were shocked and didn't know what was going on.

After being dragged back into the lake by that terrible force, Ace felt his strength suddenly lost. It's not that he doesn't want to resist, it's that his soul is completely trapped by something, which makes it impossible for him to fight back.

Soon after he fell into the lake, the magical effect of the Wind System Scroll gradually faded, and the water on both sides of the whirlpool quickly gathered again, completely engulfing Ace.

At this point, Ace is now extremely weak and unable to activate the Dragon Ball on his chest, thus losing the protection of the water shield.

Almost instantly, he fell straight into the icy water.

He wanted to swim against the current, but found that his body was out of control.

When the last breath of his body was exhausted, the icy lake water began to flow into his mouth and nose, and he soon suffocated.

Ace's consciousness became more and more blurred, and his eyes began to slowly close. At the last moment when he closed his eyes, he faintly heard the call of a "solo" like death: "Sleep, enjoy this eternal dream."

At that moment, Ace lost consciousness.

Jennifer and Simon on the shores of Moonlight Lake also gradually reacted.

Jennifer anxiously asked, "What's wrong?" Didn't he just come up, why did he suddenly go down again?"

Simon's expression was serious: "Looks like he was dragged into the lake by something."

"What should we do?" Jennifer was so anxious that she almost cried.

In her heart, she has always regarded Ace as her good friend. Ace has always been very nice to her, and he always goes out of his way to tell her many interesting stories about humanity.

Although Jennifer is still free in the ancient forest, she actually yearns for the outside world. It was Ace who opened a new door for her, letting her know that there was a bigger, more colorful world out there.

Before Simon comforted him, Zialo said coldly, "He's just a little human being, as for being so nervous, what if he dies? Besides, I told him in advance that he wanted to die, and we couldn't stop him!"

Simon immediately showed a fierce expression and shouted angrily, "Shut up!"

Zialo was stunned for a moment. He obviously didn't expect the High Priest to care so much about the life and death of this human being. Although he felt very unhappy, he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Simon, so he could only curl his lips and stop talking.

Simon turned his head and began to comfort Jennifer in a low voice, "Don't worry yet, we need to trust Ace, after all, he is a magus, and his strength is not weaker than mine!"

Jennifer held back her tears and nodded with sobs: "Okay, let's wait here for a few days and see how it goes."

Simon nodded in agreement and led Jennifer to the barracks.

In fact, Simon is completely unsure. After all, Ace's last cry was filled with reluctance and despair. Obviously, the mysterious existence at the bottom of the lake is far more powerful than Ace.

In Simon's opinion, Ace may really not be able to come back this time.

It's just that at this time, in order to stabilize Jennifer's emotions, Simon didn't dare to tell her the truth.

......

Unbeknownst to Ace, after he fell into a coma, the old map on his chest suddenly glowed red and surrounded him.

At the same time, bubbles began to appear in Ace's mouth.

Ace breathes in the water! Yes, he can actually breathe freely in the lake!

"How is this possible?"

The muffled voice echoed again at the bottom of the lake, but Ace, who was unconscious, did not hear it.

"It's impossible! No one can get their hands on that broken map! No

Man can open that door! Absolutely not!"

The terrible sound kept shaking the surface of the lake.

At this time, the elements of the military camp on the shore made the guards see that the Moonlight Lake suddenly set off huge waves, and the lake rushed into the sky, but did not fall on the shore of the lake, and finally fell back into the lake.

The voice at the bottom of the lake was filled with rage, and he began to roar loudly: "Hurry up and tear him to pieces! Hurry up!"

With his roar, the countless corpses at the bottom of the lake opened their blue eyes, and then rushed towards Ace, who also glowed red.

However, before the corpses of the Demonic Beasts, Humans, and Elemental Envoys could get closer, the red light on Ace's body became even more dazzling.

The corpses collectively "screamed", not daring to approach Ace.

"Garbage, it's all garbage!"
