As the light grew stronger, Ace and his companions got closer and closer to the entrance of the cave.

However, Ace soon notices something out of the ordinary. There seemed to be a lot of flickering points of light in the hole. At this point, the distance is still very far, and the spots of light are too small to see what it is.

"Wait a minute!" Ace stops, stopping Demacia from moving on.

"What's wrong?" At this time, Demacia was about to leave the cave. He was walking forward in high spirits, but was suddenly stopped by Ace.

Ace nervously said, "Something is wrong, there's something in the hole!"

Demacia is looking forward to. With his eyesight, it was impossible to see the tiny dots of light: "Nothing! Let's get out of here!"

Ace grabbed him, "Be careful! Let me try it first!"

With that, Ace unleashed a dark magic, and a black shadow quickly spread towards the entrance of the cave.

As soon as the top of the black shadow reached the entrance of the cave, there was a crackling sound.

Ace could clearly see a large number of points of light flickering in the hole.

"What's that?" Demacia shouted in astonishment.

Ace shook his head, "I can't see clearly because it's too small, but I can feel the force of the electric shock, and if there is no protection, we are likely to be electrocuted."

Demacia was a little scared at the time. Luckily, Ace was very cautious, which allowed them to escape.

"What do we do now?" Demacia asked impatiently.

There is a powerful mysterious point of light in front and a deep and winding cavern in the back. They are now in a dilemma.

They finally get to the exit, but they can't go straight back, can they?

But if they don't go back, how can they pass through the terrible point of light in front of them?

As Ace was considering countermeasures, countless glimmers of light in front of him suddenly began to travel along the shadow at high speed.

Ace was so surprised that he quickly shouted, "Stand back!"

He shouted as he kept retreating behind him, but he had to consider Demacia's speed, so the speed of the retreat was not very fast.

But the crackling sound kept irritating his nerves, and Ace was very worried. However, before he could deal with the matter, there were two or three small lights in Ace's water shield.

As he approached, Ace could clearly see that the lights were actually small white fish, the size of a fingernail.

"Be careful!" As soon as Ace's exclamation fell, those faint lights exploded.

The entire water shield was completely submerged at breakneck speed.

Ace quickly tore a scroll of holy light to protect himself and Demacia.

But Ace was still a little late. A small fraction of the powerful Extreme Velocity Current still hits Ace and Demacia.

Ace couldn't help but snort, and felt a sharp pain from an electric shock all over his body, causing him to curl up.

He felt a lot of pain and could only grit his teeth. This pain even surpassed the torture he endured in the dungeons of the imperial capital.

It was just a small electric current, and it was all in excruciating pain. If he hadn't had time to tear the scroll of light just now, what terrible electric shock would he face?

Looking at Demacia next to him, he had just been stunned by the electric current and was completely unconscious.

Ace gritted his teeth, then struggled to his feet. At this time, he could also feel the severe pain in all parts of his body, which made him inhale the cool breeze.

After a normal shock, the pain is greatly reduced.

But this terrible electric shock seems to have left a mark on them. The pain takes a long time to relieve.

Ace endures pain while searching for other magic scrolls. While the Aegis Magic Scroll can temporarily resist those terrifying white fish, it won't last long.

Therefore, Ace must find the next volume as soon as possible.

Soon, he found the most precious scroll of holy light magic.

This is the only magic scroll at the Grand Wizard level - radiant!

When he hesitated to use this precious scroll

, and suddenly heard a crisp "click", and the shield of holy light around him cracked into countless cracks.

At this time, Ace no longer hesitated, and he immediately smashed the Holy Light Magic Scroll that could be sold at a high price.

A huge curtain of light suddenly appeared around Ace, completely enveloping him.

Almost at the same time, the shield of light broke, and countless small white fish exploded around Ace.

Flickering at a rapid speed, Ace just felt that he couldn't open his eyes.

However, the extreme speed around his body was blocked by the holy light, and the small fish could not get close to Ace.

The Great Magician-level scrolls are really special.

He saw the light at the entrance of the cave and immediately rushed towards the entrance of the cave with the unconscious Demacia using the "speed" magic.

He didn't dare to stop, and the small electric fish around him came and completely surrounded him.

At this time, he didn't care too much, and rushed out of the cave with another "extreme speed".

However, the sudden outbreak of the White Light Fish also dimmed the "Ten Thousand Lights" a lot, and the holy light was quickly extinguished.

Luckily, after the cave was opened, there weren't so many scary little fish.

At this point, he remembered Ciro, who was immune to all electric shocks, and inevitably felt jealous.

It must have been easy for this guy to get through this cave because these electric fish have no effect on him.

Ace looked up and found that he was very close to the water at this time, and the water temperature here suddenly returned to normal.

He quickly brought Demacia to the buoy.

With a "bang", Ace pulled Demacia out of the water and landed on the shore not far away.

As soon as he landed, he immediately put Demacia aside, and then fell to the ground weakly, gasping for breath.

Because the pain of the shock was still there and had not completely dissipated, it made him feel weak for a while, and even when he was standing, he felt very painful.

After relieving the pain for a long time, Ace slowly stood up and looked around.

Now he is standing in a huge plain, which seems to be another world!

"This? This is the second floor of the underground palace?" Ace was completely shocked, because there was no such thing as an underground palace at all. It's just a huge plain!

Ace saw that Demacia couldn't wake up in a short time, so he began patrolling around.

He originally wanted to find the traces of Siro, but he slightly felt that there was no breath of Siro within a kilometer of his body, but there were some strange creatures that could not be identified with Ace's current ability.

"What the hell is this place?" Ace felt very strange, because judging from the aura of creatures he felt, these creatures did not seem to exist in the Mandala Continent, and even in the knowledge inherited by the dragon clan, there was no way to find the corresponding knowledge.

It seems like a whole new world.

But these creatures seem to have one trait in common, or a common shortcoming, and that is short-tempered.

Ace only checked the area of more than 500 meters around him and found that they were all fighting.

These animals, whether faced with the same species or different species, show a very irritable side.

Fights between Warcraft or common beasts are also common in the Mandala Continent, but they are usually fought with a purpose, such as for food, water, territory, or mates.

But the creatures here are completely different. Even if they meet on narrow roads, they will fight each other.

Although Ace didn't witness these battles with his own eyes, judging by the smell of blood he smelled, all the battles seemed to be very intense and brutal.

Once these creatures fight, they fight each other to the death. There is no such thing as a hasty escape.

"Is the world so big? Is it really a so-called underground palace?" Ace stood on a high place, looking into the distance. He could not see the boundaries of the so-called "underground palace".

He quickly returned to Demacia and was relieved to find that his breathing was still steady and nothing unusual, but he was in a coma from the electric shock.

Ace found many beautiful flowers and plants around the pool, which piqued his interest.

After all, he from

Arak learned a lot about alchemy there, so he was very interested in any herb, especially those he had never seen before.

Ace walked to the edge of the pool, crouched down, and approached the white flower next to him. Before he could get closer, he smelled a scent.

"The taste is similar to red cloves, but it seems to be stronger, and it also mixes with a faint sourness, which is strange." Ace muttered to himself as he plucked an unknown white flower.

"The scent of this flower seems to be calming. It should be used to refine medicine, improve concentration, and should have a good effect on the meditation or magical study of magicians." Ace quickly came to a conclusion.

However, when he plucked the flowers, the scent of the flowers completely turned into a very unpleasant bitter taste.

Apparently, the medicinal properties of this flower have changed.

"What's going on?" Ace simply couldn't understand the situation.

The knowledge of alchemy that he had known in the past was that some herbs had a very short effect. They must be processed into pharmaceuticals within a very short time after harvest in order to maintain good medicinal properties.

But just like that, immediately after the collection, the properties of the herbs changed. It was the first time he had seen such a situation.

Ace looked at the white flowers for a long time, but did not notice anything unusual.

Just as he was about to put down the flower to look for another flower, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his right hand. He looked down and saw that his right hand was covered in the mucus of the nameless flower, and a superficial wound had been corroded.

He quickly tossed the flower aside and noticed that the color of the flower began to change, and soon changed from its original white to a strange light red.

"What the hell is going on?" Ace was completely confused, because he had never seen such a strange phenomenon.

When Ace was confused, a voice suddenly came from behind him, "Do you think everything here is weird too?"

Ace was startled by the sudden sound. He looked back and saw that Ciro was already standing five meters behind him, looking at him with a half-smile.

Ace frowned, "When did you come?"

Ace was really not used to the presence of Ciro. After all, as a dark mage, Ace has always possessed a powerful sense of perception. In general, he can predict danger in advance before it strikes.

But Ciro is really weird. Ace was unable to detect his tracks in advance, which made Ace uneasy.

However, when Ciro stood in front of Ace, he could clearly feel his breath.

Ciro smiled gently, "Don't be afraid, I'm not a ghost, it's just that I'm fast, and ordinary people can't catch up with me."

Ace really had a hard time understanding what kind of speed it would take to reach such a high level. Five

In retrospect, Ciro had the ability to ignore Ace's block at his own speed while in the maelstrom and rush straight into the land of the underworld, but he didn't choose to do so.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm not a monster!" Ciro looked into Ace's eyes and felt uncomfortable.

"Even if you're a spiritual monster, I don't have any fear, but I really can't see through you, which makes me very uncomfortable and dangerous." Ace didn't hide anything and said his thoughts directly.

Ciro said, "Don't worry, I didn't mean to hurt you, I'm grateful that you opened the Underworld for me so that I could come in and find what I wanted."

"Speaking of which, I still have to ask you, what are you looking for?" Ace didn't know the true purpose of Ciro, and he couldn't relax for a moment.

Ciro smiled thoughtfully, "I've said it many times, you don't need what I want. Don't worry, I don't want all the treasures in the palace. I just want a sword that is useless to you."

"Sword? What sword?" Ace didn't give up and continued to ask.

Ciro smiled helplessly, "You're really persistent. Well, even if I tell you, it doesn't matter. The sword I want is called the Sword of Calasso!"

"The Sword of Calasso?" Ace is still confused. He had never heard of such a sword.

But Ciro's words shocked Ace: "Well, with this sword, I can perform a ritual that opens the way to the divine realm

The way!"

"What!" Ace's eyes sparkled, and he looked at Ciro in disbelief.

Ciro thought for a moment, and then said, "With your current strength, it's best not to know something, or you'll encounter something unspeakable."

Ace pondered for a moment, "Is there really a god in this world?"

Ciro replied, "Have you forgotten whose strength your father borrowed when he killed the man who had just become a god?"

"You know what?" Ace felt more and more that this suban, named Ciro, was complicated.

Ciro scratched his beard and said, "What is the difficulty? I was there shortly after the two of them started fighting, but I hid far away."

"Truth be told, your father is really powerful, he can even become a legendary Templar, and there are faint signs of becoming a Holy King. You know, there has been no Holy King in this world for tens of thousands of years!"

"Alas, it's a pity that after that war, your father consumed a lot, his strength declined, and it was difficult to return to the top."

Hearing Ciro say this, Ace decided in his heart that this subasser named Ciro might not belong here. It doesn't belong to the savannah, or even the Mandala continent, or this world!

Seeing Ace's eyes getting more and more serious, Ciro quickly stopped talking and said, "Well, the most urgent thing is to find the entrance to the next underground palace."

"The entrance to the next floor? Is there another layer?" Ace asked.

Ciro looked at Ace like an idiot: "Do you really think that Hades and the so-called Archbishop of the Capital are the same strength?"

"Although the waste of the imperial capital eventually became the so-called gods, there are also levels of gods. He is a level 3 god at most, which is not comparable to Hades's level 1 god!"

"The ruins of the underground palace that a Rank 1 god built before leaving the world are not for fun, so this time you should observe, study, and cherish this rare opportunity, which may play an important role in your future progress."

Hearing these words, Ace only felt a moment of confusion, not quite understanding what Ciro was trying to express.

Seeing that Ace didn't seem to understand, Ciro had no choice but to shake his head: "Hey, forget it. What do you love to do. I don't bother to care about you. How much you can gain this time is up to your luck!"

After that, Ciro prepares to leave, but Ace quickly stops him: "Where are you going?"

Ciro was even more surprised than Ace this time: "Continue to look for the entrance to the next Zeng Di Palace, otherwise what? Continue to waste time here? Oh yes, I forgot to tell you that the speed of time in this dungeon is different from that outside."

Ace looked serious: "Time doesn't flow at the same rate? What do you mean?"

Ciro said, "Don't you understand? We are not in the Mandala continent, not even in the primordial world. We now live in the world created by Hades, the king of Hades. Obviously, the world has failed, but at least it has kept its balance and has not collapsed."

Ace understood a little, "In other words, the world we live in is different from the outside world in which time is calculated?"

Ciro nodded, "Well, it seems that you are not too stupid, and finally understand what I mean. If we spend a day here, we might be out of the world in the blink of an eye. Of course, one day we have here could be equivalent to a year, ten years, or even a hundred years away!"

"What!" Ace panicked. "That's not going to work. Then I'll have to get out of here. I have so much to do."

Ciro didn't care: "What? Now know that this is urgent? But you don't have to worry too much. I don't think Hades will set the time too far. After all, he originally wanted to create a perfect world, but in the end he failed."

Ace is still a little uneasy, worried about the fact that, as Ciro said, it's another world.

"What do you mean? It seems that you and what I'm looking for are not in the palace on the second basement floor?" Ace couldn't help but ask.

Siro casually glanced at his surroundings and said contemptuously, "Do you think Hades, as a Rank 1 God King of the Underworld, will give the answer you want in such a failed world? Hades absolutely not

Will do! So we need to find the next entrance!"

At this time, Demacia, who had been in a coma, finally woke up. He looked around blankly. He didn't understand what was going on. I just remember that I was still trapped inside that terrible underwater cave. Why did he come to this magnificent valley?

Ace handed him another alchemy pill, "This medicine can relieve the pain in your body. Eat it right now."

When Ace said this, Demacia slowly realized that he was uncomfortable all over.

After all, he wasn't a dark mage, and he didn't have the ability to quickly eliminate pain, so even at this time, Demacia could still feel pain all over his body.

Soon, seeing that Demacia had woken up, the trio decided to immediately look for the entrance to the next underground palace.

Along the way, Ace begins to ask about the "Sword of Calasso".

"It is said that the Sword of Calasso is the world's first sword formed from soaking wet, and it has a very special power. But the average person will turn a blind eye to it when they see it. They won't take it seriously. Only those who really know it will recognize it at a glance."

Hearing Ciro's words, Ace asked curiously, "Did you see that? What does it look like?"

Ciro waved his hand, "Of course not. If I had seen it, I wouldn't have been trapped in this big world. I'm here to get it......" Ciro knew he had made a mistake and quickly shut up.

"Big world? What's that?" Ace was curious about everything Ciro said.

Ciro shook his head and said, "No, no, the more I tell you, the worse your situation will be! Remember, you can't tell anyone about it when we leave the Hades Underground Palace. It's going to be bad for you, me, and even the people you tell us!"

As they talked, they walked deeper into the plain.

After walking for a few dozen miles, they found a stone platform that was empty.

"What is the purpose of placing such a stone platform in such a place?" Ace stroked the stone platform and whispered to himself.

Ciro looked nonchalantly, "With Hades's character, he wouldn't set up a useless decoration here, I've turned around hundreds of miles and found that there are stone platforms like this in many places, but I haven't seen too many clues."

Hearing this, Ace had to sigh again, this guy's speed is really fast. He had just disappeared from view for more than half an hour before he had traveled hundreds of miles. The speed is truly amazing.

"If you don't understand, then we'll have to guess." Ace looked at the stone platform in front of him and said.

"Although I don't know the specific function of these stone steps, I can't see the rules of their arrangement, but I can be sure that these stone steps must be related to the entrance to the next underground palace, and as for what the specific relationship is......" Ciro said, slowly falling into deep thought.

Ace was worried. After all, he wanted to leave the so-called underground palace as soon as possible and return to the prairie to pick up Arthur.

But I heard Ciro say that the world seems to be big. How to find the entrance to the next underground palace as quickly as possible? This is a very critical question.

Ciro stared at the stone platform from time to time, and then kept thinking. Ace could only start wandering around.

As soon as he took two steps, he felt a flower in front of him. Ciro disappeared in an instant. Ace uses the dragon's perception to find Siro and discovers that Siro is not around.

"This guy looks like a ghost! Something elusive."

After Ace said this, he heard a voice behind Ciro, "I told you I wasn't a ghost!"

Ace couldn't help but tremble, "Even if it's not a ghost, I'll be scared to death by you sooner or later!" Whether you leave or show up, can you say hello in advance?"

Seeing that Ace's eyes were full of dissatisfaction, Ciro said in surprise, "It seems that you have a strong sense of vigilance, you must have experienced something that made you so cautious."
