Chapter 410: Underground Clearance 3
Siegel moved quickly through the passage as he pulled the Earth Rune Guardian from his bosom and summoned it around the corner. "Prepare to drill into the top of the tunnel! hollow it out!" he commanded.
Wearing heavy armor, Coron can't compete with Siegel even if he has an acceleration technique, not to mention that he has an anti-magic force field and can only exert the power of his flesh. The whole body armor made a heavy footstep sound, trying to catch up behind, but was still pulled down a short distance. This distance was enough for Siegel to pass around a corner and use an invisible force field wall to hold the passage up when he wasn't looking.
As a mage who has been working underground for many years, he knows how to support the mine from collapsing, and naturally understands how to create the desired landslide. The earth element turns all the rocks above you that can support the structure into soft soil, and the only thing that can keep the passage safe is the force field wall.
The priest trapped in the anti-magic force field is not immersed in fire and water, and neither elemental magic nor summons can hurt him, so many of the mage's striking methods are ineffective. However, the priest was also trapped, unable to cast spells himself, and did not receive any blessings. It's a good thing that this isn't an anti-magic light-armored elf priest who is proficient in bows and arrows, so Siegel will have a headache. Heavy tin cans are never a real threat, and mages have a good understanding of never passing on their methods against anti-magic warriors in order to maintain a tactical advantage.
The corners of Siegel's robes were at the entrance of the passage, and Coron quickened his pace and chased closely. He was naturally strong, and running for a few minutes in full-body armor wasn't much of a burden, so he didn't hesitate at all. As he entered the center of the passage, he heard a sound similar to shattering glass overheadβthe force field was dissolved by an anti-magic force field. The channel loses its support.
Then there was a landslide. More than a dozen tons of rocks and soil fell from the sky. Bury him whole underneath. Darkness and suffocation grabbed him in an instant. Although the whole body armor did not let him die in the first place, he was completely unable to move, and even if he disarmed the anti-magic force field, he could not pray for the blessing of the gods.
Siegel summoned several flying balls of light that flew towards the collapse, the balls of light shook a few times, but came to a steady stop on the ruins. This meant that the anti-magic field was over, and Siegel ordered the earth elemental drill to check the priest's life and death.
He didn't stop to waste time, but walked in the other direction. It is good to avoid the area of the landslide. As long as there are traces of acid corrosion on the ground, it means that the place has been cleaned by mixed elements, and it is basically safe.
The earth elemental soon caught up, holding a heart in his hand, which must have been taken from the priest of the god of murder. Siegel ordered the earth elemental to clear the way, and used his hard body to block the arrows.
The narrow passage had little to hide, and Siegel used the Fireball Staff to clear his way. He didn't care how long the passage could last, he wasn't afraid of a sudden collapse with the earth elemental by his side, and he could leave here at any time with a teleportation technique or use a force field technique to protect himself.
Every distance traveled, Siegel would perform an object locator technique to determine the location of Evan and several others. This cobweb-like underground stronghold greatly affects the distance of the locating technique. And also to take into account the speed at which Evan they are constantly moving. Siegel almost lost sight of him several times.
Finally, the point of light revealed by the positioning technique stopped moving, and Siegel sped up and flew in that direction with the fire elemental.
A low roar came from the passage. And then there was the almost frozen aura of evil. Siegel felt the dragon's might from it, but it was different from the real dragon, not pure enough and not fierce enough. In such a passage, creatures larger than the size of trolls cannot move freely, so what is there to be afraid of if the enemy sends a dragon?
Siegel soon discovers that he was wrong. The narrow passage is the best place for one creature to play, and that's the Slime Monster. The god of murder, or the god of gelatinous monsters, sent his most capable men.
In front of Siegel was a massive, squirming and tumbling mass of glue, the color of bleached bones. It had devoured countless corpses, so that jagged broken bones protruded from its body. The cloudy body barely saw its core, and there were many more corpses in various stages of digestion inside, including a number of servants dressed in the clothes of the God of Murder. It is much larger than the size of the passage, so it can only keep pushing forward, but it is still about the same speed as a normal person walking.
The bone glue monster rolled over and sniffed Siegel's scent. He shouted excitedly, letting out the kind of scream that would only come from a strong squeeze of air. Siegel raised his hand and struck lightning, but the bone glue monster didn't realize it, just shook a little, and still moved forward without hurry.
Siegel waved his arms, using fire, acid, and ice in turn, but only slowed down for the bone glue. Siegel noticed that several of the corpses in the skeleton's body were being digested and absorbed at an accelerated pace, which is why it was not afraid of magical energy.
"How much mana would it take to destroy this massive volume?" said Siegel as he stepped back, "Earth elemental, create a passage for me to bypass." β
With a rumbling bang, a path to the side appeared, and Siegel dismissed the idea after two glances. The earth elemental doesn't dig as fast as the bone glue monster advances, and the only result of entering the passage is to be sealed inside. If you continue to go backwards, you will be back in a short time back to the place where the landslide crushed the priest, which is also a dead end.
Siegel can teleport away, but if he wants to return, he will have to take a big risk. Teleportation is error-free, so teleporting to the underground passage has always been very risky. As long as you deviate by a meter or two, you may crash headlong into the rock formation. As long as you teleport, you can only return to the ground of Shar Manor and attack with the elven army.
Wait, Siegel suddenly had an idea that there was one place in the entire stronghold that would be enough for teleportation to land safely. The large cave space used for training is several hundred meters in circumference, and it is very spacious. Let this glue monster climb slowly, sensible people won't waste time with him.
Siegel put away the two rune elemental guards. Snap your fingers and use the Elven Sage's teleportation array first. Returned to Myr.
The winter sun is slightly pale. But it was still a bit jarring for Siegel, who had been underground for a few days. Next to the teleportation array, the mages of the three federations are studying this formation, wanting to learn and decipher the knowledge of the elves for their own use.
"It's an honor to meet you, Venerable Siegel. The mages closed their notebooks and saluted him. "Welcome back to Myr. β
"Good day. Siegel said. Compared to the chaotic battle scenes in the stronghold of the god of murder, the tranquility of Myr is like paradise. "Is Master Veywood nearby, can you help me find him?"
"Your Excellency Mage, I'm sorry, but he's not in Myr right now, but he's going to Kebe through a portal. It is said that there was a battle there. A mage asked with a surprised expression, "Isn't your army there too?"
"Oh, I guess I missed it with them," Siegel said. It seems that the plan to find Wywood, open a stable portal, and then borrow the power of the Myrcanon core to fight can only be put on hold for the time being. Siegel reinched the incantation and teleported himself to the underground plaza of the God of Murder.
A mage can only teleport to where he has been, so Dorne has hope of keeping the elves out. Although the elves' attacks are fierce, and the combination of spells and swords is extremely skillful, they cannot be deployed at all due to the terrain. The successive clay warriors were close to sealing the entrance with their solidified stone bodies.
"Find a way to get around here and make a new passage. "Elven Commander. Ranger Ost said, "Go and ask the druids for help and summon the kind of bugs that can dig into the ground." Dig down from the side. β
"Master Mage said that the ground around here has been reinforced with divine magic, and the summons can't be gnawed. They're trying to find a way to crack this layer of protection, so for now, the only way is out. β
Oster glanced at the still silent Elven Sage beside him, and was very anxious. The elven war did not achieve the intended goal, and it was already considered a failure, which made the elves in the forest feel pressured. Although the Sage did not say anything after his arrival, the entire Council of Elders knew that if they could not satisfy the Sage, they would lose their ruling position. That pressure was transmitted to the Ranger Oster, who led the team, and he knew he could not afford to fail.
"It's not just this road that goes up and down, and this spiral staircase can't even transport goods. He said: "Immediately turn the surroundings upside down, and be sure to find a passage where the army can enter and exit!"
The Elven Sage glanced at him and suddenly said, "Oster, don't be in a hurry, get your elves ready. Someone will soon open the passage in front of them. β
The Sage Prophet Ost did not doubt him, and changed his previous command.
Siegel teleported himself to the Great Cavern, but instead of landing on the surface, he made it to the top of the cave. The elemental fluctuations caused by teleportation could not hide from the servants of the God of Murder, and all the priests felt the spell for the first time. They looked up and saw Siegel levitating in the air, so they raised their crossbows and began shooting.
The arrows rained down, but most of them only hit the illusion caused by the displacement cloak. Siegel was invisible again, and was about to move in the direction of Evan when the voice of the Elven Sage sounded in his head.
"If you go to that squad, you'll encounter the Sage of the God of Murder, and confronting it will likely cost you your life and delay the elven army to enter. Only I can help you find out where your wife is or send you there, and the longer you delay, the less likely it is to find out. You have to make a choice, go to your companions, or solve the barrier to the entrance. β
"Elven Sage, you can teleport in, and you don't know how to do magic. I can give you the signal to transmit the road marker. β
"You are in a temple of gods, and I, the Sage, cannot enter when ordinary elves have not entered the temple of the god of murder, so you must open the entrance and let the elves enter. The Elven Sage said, "I can feel that the servants of the God of Murder are retreating, and a teleportation array hidden deep underneath is directly powered by divine power, and the God of Murder will shut it down and destroy it at any moment. You're running out of time. β
Siegel looked at the army near the entrance, and the more than two hundred gelatinous warriors were not a threat, and the priests and assassins who were looking for him were not too difficult to deal with. However, as the Elven Sage said just now, Yao En's team may have encountered the Sage of the God of Murder, and they did not have the weapons and means to deal with the Sage.
The mage hesitated for a few seconds, shook his head, and decided to go with his original plan. He left behind two super-sized atmospheric elemental rune guards, and flew in the direction of Evan.
The Elven Sage sighed softly outside the cavern. (To be continued.) )
