Chapter 592: Upstairs 2
With no points, Siegel could only leave the fourth floor empty-handed, where countless magical items were stored. When he reached the fifth floor, he found it an empty and unadorned place, except for a large transparent crystal ball in the center of the room.
There are no guardians in the room, and there are no administrators and commentators like the six-armed lamp god. The only thing that can move here other than Siegel is the shadow reflected by the crystal ball. One is the reflected Siegel, and the other is the transmitted Siegel.
The description is very accurate, reflecting and transmitting Siegel rather than the aging disguise of Euroin Kurunel. It's been a long time since Siegel has seen himself in the mirror, and now he's a little moved.
Crystal balls are often used as prophecy and divination weapons, and are also useful in situations where very long distances are required. The Pharathic Faranis was a master of this, but none of his apprentices, including Siegel, had learned it from him.
Despite his superior comprehension and control over elemental spells, prophecy spells are Siegel's weakness. However, this should have nothing to do with the individual's qualifications, but some kind of precautionary mechanism left by the magic god, otherwise it is difficult to explain why among so many mages in the world, there is only one master of prophecy, and this person is always Liele.
Maybe you can find the answer here. With this thought, Siegel approached the crystal ball, trying to get closer. His two shadows drew closer and slowly began to coincide, and he didn't feel anything wrong with the sight.
Liele, of course, left a trail here, and will not allow people to easily obtain the knowledge and power associated with prophecy. In his opinion, the power of prophecy is more powerful than magic. Because as long as the future is in control. Just grasp everything. This crystal ball is a prophecy spell artifact. Crafted from divine power and legendary spell seeds. It is with this that Riele can cast spells on locations beneath the nebula, including the never-failing prophecy spell.
To know the secret of the Prophecy Crystal, you have to get closer, and this will make the two projections one. When this happens, the trap left behind by Riele will be activated, creating a clone like a mirror of a sworn enemy doppelganger and starting a hunt for the main body. It's just that this clone has the resources of the entire magic tower: four floors of magical equipment, an army of constructs, necromancy, and elements. Three levels of teleportation maps that can reach any known location.
The Nemesis Doppelganger Mirror can only create one replica, while the Prophecy Crystal Ball can create an infinite number of them. As long as the man has a future - he is not dead - then the crystal ball has the power to activate again every few minutes. The hunt is non-stop until the possibility of an individual is terminated.
Siegel didn't know that his future was doomed, but the dice did. A five-second warning suddenly popped into Siegel's mind, and he saw what would happen to him after touching the crystal ball, so he immediately backed away. The two projections also reluctantly retreated away from each other, failing to come together.
"It's so dangerous, I almost got hit!" Siegel gasped and frowned as he watched the crystal ball. The first three floors were uneventful, allowing him to let his guard down. The room, which had nothing but a giant crystal ball, looked like it had a trap. It was this thinking that Kuriel used to set a trap. I don't know if anyone else has been to this room. Did they all kill their own clones?
Even with the unrepeatable power of the Four Veins Divine Arrow and the Elemental Aggregate, the clone with all the artifact equipment is still difficult to deal with. It's safer to just leave. Go up to the sixth floor. But Siegel's instincts tell him that the crystal ball hides a great secret.
Liele's biggest headache isn't his intelligence. He was indeed scheming and had a good grasp of the various minds of a mage, but that only made him an excellent strategist and tactician. The key to his true invincibility was the power of prophecy, the grasp of the future. On the Unsinkable Stone, Riele once tried to modify the future, replacing reality with a possibility. This power transcends the rules, and even the Legendary Spell Seed can't do it. Modifying the past through time travel is possible, as difficult as it is. Replacing the path of time with something that didn't happen is a power that only God can do.
If you think about it carefully, Liele should have given up his priesthood and divine fire and chose to become a mortal. It is true that his body has the characteristics of a saint, and is far stronger and stronger than ordinary people, but this does not give him the power of a god. Therefore, when he uses alternative reality, he must borrow other powers, and the source of this power is most likely in front of Siegel.
You have to find a way to figure out what the crystal ball does, which requires you to get up close and personal with the crystal ball and cast analytic spells. In this process, two projections, one reflected and one transmitted, cannot be brought together, and the result of releasing the replica is only a dead end.
Both shadows come from a glimpse into the future, and are not made by light alone, so Siegel's attempt to use darkness to obscure the shadows fails, and invisibility is useless. With the addition of two projections, there are a total of three "self" in the room. The white-robed old mage who was revealed his true nature and age, a clear and perfect young Marquis Lord of the Heim Realm, and a powerful mage who was distorted and inflated by transmission. The three Siegels are constantly moving around the crystal ball in the room, and once Siegel gets close to the crystal ball, they gather towards the middle.
Detection spells cast from a distance will be dispelled if they don't even touch the orb, and non-detect spells will pass directly through the center of the ball, as if passing through an apparition. The future can be hurt, but the future can only become real if you experience it firsthand. Siegel changed his strategy and used Transfiguration to lengthen his arm. He immediately gave up trying to cast the spell with his long arm contact, as it would still keep the shadows close to each other and overlap at the point of contact.
I couldn't think of any good ideas for the time being, so I could only shake my head and give up for the time being. He climbed the stairs to the sixth floor, hoping to see something different.
The first thing he perceived was not the scenery, but a howl, followed by countless howls. Above the steps is a vast grassland, where the breeze blows the yellow thatch, bringing out waves of waves. Overhead, there is a clear blue cloudless sky, and there are no roofs or walls to be found as far as the eye can see, only countless creatures roaming here.
Flying in the sky are dragons, full of colors and variety, they emit powerful elemental fluctuations, and dragon power is also mixed with them. Flying with them are the Thunderbirds, whale-eating creatures with a wingspan longer than a three-masted ship, and they can summon thunder from the sky to attack any hostile creature.
In addition, hairy balloons float up and down, the large eye in the center and the small eye stalks around it are all closed, and they seem to be still sleeping, and the rotting eagle that can shoot acid arrows, and the swarm of vampire mosquitoes that can hypnotize swarm, and when they see Siegel again, they rush up.
They will definitely be late, because the monsters on the ground are closer. Petrified rays from Medusa and instant death rays from the skeleton Naga crashed into Siegel's defensive barriers, which were then covered in fireballs and ice storms. Dozens of different magic splitters were fired at Siegel at the first moment, and there were many more to come. The entire sixth floor is full of creatures that can use magical abilities, flying in the sky, running on the ground, and maybe swimming in the water. They regard anyone who comes up from below as an adversary or prey, and do not hesitate to use their abilities. It's only a matter of time before any mage is defeated and killed against a biome of this magnitude - the gap is too great for even legendary spells to fill.
Siegel only had time to show his head and take a look before the magic protection on his body was broken through two layers. He hurried down the stairs and returned to the fifth floor of the room, which contained only the crystal ball. Each floor here is like a space that doesn't interfere with each other, and thankfully, the creatures don't chase after them.
This is completely unreasonable, could it be that you will be hunted down and killed as soon as you go up, so what kind of reward is this? Siegel thought of the copy crystal ball on the fifth layer, and understood that the sixth layer was also manipulated by Leel. In the face of hundreds of various adult dragons, as well as all kinds of other magical creatures, even the Sage has no choice but to die.
I've used up the five-second warning to avoid danger here at the crystal ball today, so I didn't get a hint after going upstairs. Survival depends on the protective spells you usually prepare, as well as your own sharp reactions. If it's a few seconds later, when the attacks of the magical beasts gather, then you can only rely on cloning to resurrect.
It's full of risks, and clones alone aren't safe. Siegel knew he needed to stop and get ready for the next move.
He went down one level to the fourth level, which was full of magical items, where he could learn how to make almost all magical equipment. At the moment, it seems that at least it is safe here, and the rest of the students should not be able to get up. The six-armed lamp god here seems to be the only one in the entire magic academy with normal logic and good judgment ability, and there is no sign of tampering with the core for the time being.
Siegel uses the Philosopher's Stone to connect to the library and ask for information about the sixth floor of the Magic Tower. He only found a few words in a brochure for the Academy of Magic, which explained that it was the Wild of Magical Beasts, and that it was a great place for mages studying their transformation abilities, otherworldly creatures, and magical pets.
Unlike other places, creatures are territorial, and all those who attack them are counterattacked. It is likely that Liel is doing this in order to make those monsters invincible guards.
This pamphlet should have been handed out to everyone when they entered the magic academy, but in fact no one received it. The entire Academy of Magic has been modified beyond recognition, and a trap has been set for nowhere. The only hope now is that Riele is reluctant to abandon the magic god power, and he will always leave himself a way to get the divine fire back.
The question is, where is this back road hidden? )
