Ivan looked up, and he saw the lookout.

The lookout is tall and resembles a bell tower, but much wider than the bell tower. Although the surrounding wall still has a slight taste of hunting grounds, it is obviously very new, and it has only been built in recent years, and does not belong to the ancient age of the Abenard kingdom.

It feels like ...... I don't know what to sigh about.

Ivan's whole body was so sore now, the strength that had supported him to get here seemed to be all gone all at once, his sore knees couldn't support his increasingly heavy body at all, and he almost wanted to sit down and take a good breath and rest.

But he also knew that time was running out. Ivan stood for a few seconds, but still raised his feet and ran towards the exit, snorting and panting as he ran.

Less than a hundred meters ahead was the exit, a distinctly arched stone door, at the top of which was the last silver-blue mirror, and an upward staircase led to the lookout, and he even saw the open door of the lookout.

Ivan immediately quickened his pace. It is estimated that when he looks back on this assessment afterwards, he will be surprised how those feet can still run so fast. It's only fifty meters, and it's almost there!

Suddenly.

There was a rumbling sound under the floor, and Ivan didn't react for a moment before he was hit by a sudden earthquake. He staggered to a halt as he ran on the large limestone floor that shook his body and nearly fell.

A chill slid silently into his stomach.

The exit is gone.

A thick stone wall rises from the ground, blocking the stone arch. Ivan watched this qiē happen more than forty meters away from him, but he had to freeze in place with a blank expression.

No way...... And the traps?

He finally crawled out of the river and finally came to this place, but what awaited him was a trap. What is this called? Ivan felt that he could no longer be considered depressed, and he felt that the temperature of his whole body had dropped.

There must be puppets here, he heard his heart pounding unwillingly. yes, why can't there be a puppet here?The space teleporter closest to the exit is also normal to have a puppet guard, maybe it's still the strongest puppet.

Ivan didn't know whether he should cry or laugh at the moment, but he didn't think much of it, and when the floor stopped shaking, he turned to the side and approached the wall.

The road behind was blocked by a rising stone wall, and the floor in front of it unexpectedly sank in, and from inside rose a black metal platform with a pitch-black puppet two people tall.

The shape of the puppet reminded him of Mr. Smith's "grasshopper". It has six wheels and resembles a kind of car. However, there were no seats on the car, and the wheels supported the brass armor, and the whole looked like a huge ancient knight.

The knight had four arms, two with a giant hammer at the front and the other two with serrated discs that turned and hummed. It danced four arms, which could be turned backwards, the joints could all be reversed, the helmet-like head was fitted with sharp horns, and the neck and head were almost joined together without gaps.

...... This thing is used to tear down the city wall!

Ivan was speechless and glanced down at the spar tablet, but the thought of giving up only flashed through his mind, and was quickly driven away by the sadness that followed. Giving up is a painful thing, especially when he has already put in a lot of effort and paid a great price.

He took another step back, leaning his body against the wall.

The blood on his arm ran down his damp and crumpled sleeves, slid across his wrists, drenching the golden wrist chakra. Looking ahead, the puppet's wheels began to turn.

The speed of the puppet seemed to increase in an instant, and the magic crystal of the wind attribute gave it amazing power, and its speed was like a galloping carriage! Ivan stared at the puppet closely, he suddenly kicked towards the ground, jumped up with great force, and slashed straight at the puppet's neck with a great sword that shone with a silver glow.

Gail stared intently at what was shown in the mirror.

Ballan was dumbfounded, and it was a long time before he spoke.

"Mr. Gail, this is a puppet for the battlefield, right?"

"It's not the puppet of the past, I'll have to explain that to you. I've improved it, you know, the training ground is not allowed to enter this kind of puppet, I didn't think I would need it. Gail's tone seemed to be excited, and he saw the unexpected.

"You're letting the improved battlefield guard the exit with puppets?" Barran's eyes widened.

"I'm satisfied. Gail said, not looking back, "Am I in tune with you, but I'm breaking the rules, trying to get it in......"

Ballan knew what Gale meant by "just with you", and he tried to hold back his smile, but it turned into a hideous expression with muscles trembling on his face, and he suddenly felt that working with Gale was not a completely wrong decision. This man liked his messy products too much, but at least judging by the results, he did quite satisfactorily.

The puppets used on the battlefield only know how to destroy and kill, and now it seems that the kid will either give up or ...... I'm afraid it's not a serious injury. Gail still watched intently, for him, Balran's thoughts were nothing more than a child's delusion compared to the powerful puppet he loved.

At this time, Carlo was also standing in the room, and from just now until now, he had not said a word, just looked at the map and the silver-blue mirror seriously.

Metal sparks flew up, as beautiful as celebratory fireworks, and Ivan's sword slashed at the puppet's twin hammers crossed in front of him, and the puppet slammed into the ground, causing the boy's body to bounce off like a puppet and fall to the ground.

He heard a buzzing sound like a grim reaper's mockery. He immediately rolled to the side, sawing through the slate with his teeth, and debris flew everywhere. Unable to get up first, Ivan directly extended the blade and jammed the puppet's wheels before it ran over his body.

Brighter sparks, like small-scale explosions, even the silver blade that had gathered more than nine hundred magic power was trembling in the light and darkness, Ivan hurriedly got up, lowered his head to dodge the puppet's swing wheel, and attached the puppet's hard body.

You can't have sawed yourself apart, can you?" Ivan looked at the almost invulnerable monster in front of him and raised his sword.

At this moment, the head close to the neck suddenly rose some distance, and the red magic crystal flashed in front of his eyes, and then, flames erupted from its stretched neck, like the muzzles of countless pistols like Xiulin and Aisha were firing.

The blazing breath descended instantly.
