"Ahhh......h
In the midst of the scream, a bright blue light burst out, whipping the little girl's body like a whip, and then the huge force pumped the girl's small body into the air, swinging lightly, and rolling out of the distance with a bang.
"Idiot......" Edward took a few steps back, cursing to himself.
No matter how tempting things may seem in front of you, this kind of place, if there is not some special defense, then hell - people die for money, birds die for food, Edward, as a hunter, has seen enough.
But the problem is that the basket poked out by this little bastard doesn't seem to be borne by her alone.
It's almost a certainty.
The strange pattern on the ground suddenly began to flicker! From the outside in, the symbols of the magic circle began to light up, and all kinds of lights intertwined.
In the center of the circle, the luster wrapped in crystal gradually shrank, and layers of rippling ripples collided and distorted, and the light reflected out, showing a strange color. Then a faint hoarse voice sounded. Inability to distinguish between meaning and nature. It sounds like the babbling of a psychopath in a dream. Meaninglessly murmuring. The voices quickly turned to a muffled boom. Penetrate all the ground one qiē.
Edward's pupils contracted one by one, and the corners of his mouth twisted into a straight line.
On the ground, on the periphery of the circle, white light was stretching and stretching open, becoming gates of light of varying sizes.
The light flickered, and the hideous and terrifying black shadows had turned into entities—looking like a withered corpse. Dressed in a simple black robe, with dark yellow skin covered with black patches, they stepped out of a ring of teleportation, and they were slightly sluggish, and then rushed towards the breath of the two living!
Edward lifted a tentacle.
The energy crackled...... Hoarse, dry, like a knife cutting through rags. The blazing flash was followed by the blast of blasted air. The sound of thunder crushed a qiē into powder, and the air was like a twist of water lines, bulging, denting, exploding, and tumbling. The undead who rushed out of the teleportation were buried.
And Edward was backing away.
The undead are just a foreshadowing...... In the field of vision, the huge magic circle was constantly rotating. The runes of the magic flowed, like colorful fireworks, writhing more arcane energy, and just one breath was already trembling!
So, he had to get out of here right away.
In the blink of an eye, he had withdrawn seven steps, and the door behind him was already close at hand.
But just an inch between the doors of the hall that were about to touch the door, time suddenly slowed down...... Or rather. The senses of time and space are torn apart in this instant. The sight was strange and dangerous—in the distance, the crystal in the center of the altar became so clear that even the slightest movement of each symbol on it could be seen. Tremble with breathing.
The air trembled and roared, and a large physical net had quietly formed. Stripes of red and black veins spread along the ground, along the air, and even along the invisible void, connecting the area completely...... But that qiē was blurry, when a dark shadow bloomed on it. All around it has been darkened!
The darkness lasted for a moment...... Or for a long time?
Then, some shine, with the eyes slowly lit up. Sketch out a blurred outline.
"This ...... What kind of place is this?"
The familiar scream made his brows tangled, and in his eyes, the little girl looked around blankly not far away, and then, when she saw Edward, she jumped three feet high like a frightened little animal, and staggered back: "Ah, you, don't come here, I'...... Wow!"
Her panicked movements caused her to slam into a wall around the corner and fall to the ground.
Edward shook his head. Then walk over.
“&”
The imp crawled up, but couldn't stand up for a while, so he could only stare at Edward, clenching two small fists, like a snake with its tail stepped on, curling up and sticking out its fangs towards the enemy. Unusually fluent, she spoke a long stream of buzzing words, crisp and loud, like striking a brass bell - it was the language of the heavenly realm, but Edward, who had not blessed himself with the language, could not fully understand what she meant.
Edward wasn't in the mood to bother with those things.
yes, what is this place?
Ugly undead, huge halls, stone platforms with crystals, glittering lightning...... They were all gone, and he was now standing in a corridor made of obsidian.
The corridor was not wide, but it was extremely neat, without the slightest dust, and there was a pillar every thirty feet, a faint magical sheen that illuminated the ground as smooth as a dark mirror, and this luster slowly spread outward, dimming at the end of the view, but before that, the light was enough to draw attention to the fact that there were more than three crossroads in the corridor.
The lines on the floor are so neat that it's hard to believe that this is something that this is possible with the level of craftsmanship in this world...... Each line is as neat as a ruler and a knife, not so much a piece of paper as a regular line drawn on a flat surface.
Obviously, only magic can make such a place.
"Solidified teleportation?"
No, he seemed to have sensed the effect of teleportation just now, but searching the memories in his mind, no matter what kind of teleportation spell it was, it couldn't be like this...... Teleportation or teleportation circles are perceptible enough for the concussions caused by the magic web, while any gate, although small and fast enough, is passive, and the teleporter will not succeed if he does not cross it.
Not necessarily, though.
Who knows? There are so many miracles that magic can create, and it is itself something that exists to break some common sense, which is the goal of countless generations of spellcasters in this world for tens of thousands of years, so it is better not to have any preconceived notions about it. What's more, this is a relic built by ancient arcanists.
So. Now what?
Edward grinded his teeth in disgust...... It was only when he wanted to do so that he remembered that he didn't have that at all. So the supernormal change was simply lifted.
"Ahh......h She watched as the sucking figure shook for a moment, narrowing and becoming shorter, and finally becoming less frightening.
"You...... How are you?Transfiguration?ah, I know you!You're the one......& That Adeand, no, it's Edward!" The little girl stared at her slightly golden pupils and screamed violently. Edward almost subconsciously showed a manipulative voice.
But he held back - without understanding the current situation, every psionic point could be very precious. Waste is not a good habit.
"Shut up!" the Psychic Warlock began. "You know me?" he stared into the other's eyes, his voice cold and fierce, "How do you know?"
This trick seemed to be effective, and the little girl was stunned for a while and screamed. swallowed hard, and finally remembered to answer: "I, that, is Sister Iriel...... Mistress Ariel. She stammered, and curled up in the corner like a kitten: "She told me that you, you are a good person, and told me that if I meet you, if I can, try not to fight with you." Woo...... Mistress Ariel lied to me, he wasn't a good guy at all, he was a big villain, and he turned into a psychic monster to scare me, and said he was going to eat my brain...... Give me back my sword!"
The Psychic Warlock couldn't help but shake his head again.
What the hell is this little girl's brain?
"Listen. He snorted, which made the little girl tremble: "Next." For all this trouble you've caused me. You must obey my orders, and you must not yell at me if I am fine, or I will not mind you going straight back to Heavenly Mountain. ”
"Why......? How do I know ......?" cried the little girl. Or maybe it was because the human deterrent power was no longer great, and she seemed to be less frightened at last, and she glared back at him without showing weakness. It's like being angry.
"Is the soul of that Astral Apostle in you a lot of fun?well, little fool, even if he doesn't help you very often, even if you haven't experienced adventures, you should have heard a few third-rate stories of the bard!"
Edward sarcastically said mercilessly, in fact, he really wanted to teach the reckless little girl a lesson now, no matter how pitiful the latter looked with tears in his eyes: "Haven't you heard the famous poem of the great thief?
"Ah, do you mean the 'great thief who has the mark of stars on his face, who has traveled all over the continent, in every king's treasury, and in the dragon's lair, he is careful and discreet, and never finds out......," the little confused cried out cheerfully, humming a little tune...... However, the banter in the other party's eyes finally reminded her of the current situation, and she quickly changed the focus of the topic with a flushed face: "Of course I've heard it, but it's something to tease children, what's the use?"
"Yes, since children have heard of it, you should also know that you should be careful not to be discovered," Edward shook his head for the third time, deciding not to discuss anything with this guy anymore: "It's really strange, how did you get into the city with such virtue? Are the spirit suckers blind? Elena will actually let you come, doesn't that girl claim to be righteous? and let a fool come to die?"
"You are not allowed to slander Sister Elena, no, it's Lord Eleel!, and I'm not stupid!" But she bit her lip again, her eyes full of moisture blinked again and again, and her eyes immediately turned red: "I, I, I, I came secretly, it wasn't Sister Elena who ordered me to come, but I ...... But I'm going to get it done! It's supposed to be a maze here. Nothing remarkable!"
Edward patted his head.
Obviously, this time it really made this girl right, and this should be a maze in front of her.
Of course, he was not to blame - Edward had only stumbled upon some descriptions of the name in books. After all, the labyrinth is a very advanced spell, and the caster creates a small half-plane and builds a labyrinth according to his own mind, and any creature that falls under the spell will be teleported in.
Theoretically, there is nothing too dangerous about mazes. Although it is a very difficult spell, it is not used to kill the opponent, but to temporarily trap it. Generally speaking, when a mage encounters a powerful opponent and is outnumbered, he uses this spell to divide the enemy and defeat each one.
This labyrinth is built by the caster himself with his mind, but there must be an exit. And once the build is complete, it can't be changed, and the people trapped in it, as long as they can get to the exit. Naturally, you can break away from the half-plane and return to the original world. Even if you really can't get out, just wait a whole day. The maze will be eliminated naturally, and when the time comes, it will automatically return to its original place.
That said, Edward didn't want to spend a day here.
He knew why his opponent wanted to store a labyrinth in such a continuous mechanism - as long as he delayed for a while, he would naturally activate the subsequent magic circle mechanism, so that after a few hours of getting out, he would find a bunch of enemies waiting for him at the exit.
What's more, if those Soul Eaters arrived, it would be all over in one breath.
"I don't need it at all. I've already activated the Transmission Gem, and it won't take long. Mistress Ariel will come here, break this damn circle, and get us out. The little girl rubbed her head and stood up: "Moreover, this guy who arranged the maze must be a very powerful mage, and this maze must be bigger than the city outside." If we want to get out, we might as well wait and talk about ......."
"What if this is solidified?"
“...... I didn't think of it, what should I do? But this maze is so big......"
Looking at the face of the little confusion that suddenly became nervous, Edward couldn't help but shake his head again, but. He didn't bother to talk nonsense with this girl anymore.
A luster flashed on the shapeshifter's skin, and his body grew taller again, stretched, and pieces of muscle spread out on his body, revealing his predecessor, his back bent, two huge curved horns stretched out above his head, and in the blink of an eye, he had turned into a minotaur.
The sudden change of "Ah......" made the girl subconsciously want to scream again. But he covered his mouth again. "You, what are you doing here?"
"Haven't you heard? The Minotaur is the only creature in the world that will never be trapped in a labyrinth, follow me!"
This is also the knowledge seen in the description of the maze - although the magic of the maze is not lethal, it is basically a hundred shots, ignoring any magic resistance, but only the minotaur cannot be trapped. Exactly what the reason is, no one can say clearly. Anyway, the results of thousands of trials are just that. Rumor has it that it has something to do with a certain demon lord in the abyss. It is extremely good at labyrinth-type spells, and has a large number of Minotaur believers, and is even considered to be the creator of the Minotaur species.
The Minotaur is very fast, and the maze seems to be easier than expected.
However, after a few miles of twisting and turning, the road in front of him was suddenly cut off—three walls, and a door, blocking all access in front of him. Edward mobilized his mental strength and pushed the door, but the latter made a noise but did not move.
"It's a dead end...... Didn't you say that the minotaur could never go wrong?" asked the little girl, with a little schadenfreude on her face.
"No, you're not wrong. ”
This pink dress, like a twelve- or thirteen-year-old little princess, is extremely gorgeous, with gold trim, sapphire brooches, three-tiered skirt corners and pale white ubiquitous lace edges, which are vulgar things that normal adult women will never touch.
However, it is now worn by an out-and-out adult woman.
Her long golden hair reflected her white complexion, and the flickering source of magical light made this face radiate a holy and blurry brilliance. Her figure was slender, but her waist was straight, like a towering poplar tree by the stream. As a result, the layers of pink and white lace have become an excellent decoration, setting off her extraordinarily dusty temperament, noble and elegant, like a saint.
"Mr. Edward, don't go near him!" The little girl who was following Edward suddenly shouted again, her white luster flashing behind her, and she had already rushed towards the beautiful woman: "Cunning demon, you can't deceive me! We are God's agents, and we are the executors of God's punishment." In the name of God...... Oops!"
"Who are you?"
"Me?" the woman laughed, "I'm a puzzle." ”
The labyrinth is not an entity, but a semi-plane, or more colloquially, it resembles a "realm", a semi-material, semi-virtual space. Since you enter the labyrinth, you have to abide by the "rules" of this place, the maze will not do any changeable movements, and there must be an exit. But at the same time, it is impossible to pass through the wall directly by penetrating the wall and transforming the spirit, and it must be honestly followed by the normal way of walking the maze.
However, according to the rules in the book, if the mage casting the spell is skilled enough, it is possible to set up more obstacles in the maze and increase the difficulty.
Labyrinths are not aggressive, they are the rules of magic, and you don't have to be afraid to bump into a magical avatar in a maze, it will never hurt you - but on the other hand, you can't hurt it, because in essence they don't exist at all, they are just virtual images.
"How can I get through guò?" asked the human, throwing the little girl behind him.
"Riddle," said the demon, holding his chin, "let's guess the riddle." I'll make a riddle, and you'll have three chances to guess it, and if you don't get it right, you'll have to stay here. ”
"Let's get the question out. ”
"Oh, that's refreshing, I like ......" The demon suddenly giggled, and his eyes rolled to the 'Minotaur': "Actually, it doesn't have to be this method, I appreciate you, so can you give it a try and use other methods to please me?" (To be continued......)
