Chapter 178: Time Lapse
"Where is this, why is it so dim?" the black smoke cleared, and Joshua noticed that the three of them were stepping on hard stone bricks under their feet, not the solid dirt of the original high ground. He looked around and saw that the subject himself was in a tunnel, with candles on the walls on either side, glowing faintly.
"Parsa is really cunning, if it weren't for the black gas in our hands, we might not have been able to find this place at all. Geraint smiled slightly.
Byron looked around cautiously for a moment, then shifted his gaze to the magic crystal in his hand. "The black gas is moving more violently, and this is an intensity we have never seen before. It seems that Parsa's secret room for studying dark magic is not far away. ”
"Hurry up and follow the direction of the black qi to find it!" Gerante seemed very excited.
Byron led the group through the dark passage, and Joshua was very excited. He had been wondering if if he found the secret chamber of dark magic, would it be a sign that he could leave this parallel world and follow the test of the fifth layer of the Flame Temple?
Byron led everyone forward very cautiously, but there didn't seem to be any imaginary traps in the secret passage. Perhaps Parsa felt that it was impossible for ordinary people to teleport themselves to his secret chamber through guò black qi, so he was not worried about any intruders. The faint candlelight flickered on the walls on either side, and Joshua felt an oppressive, tense aura. The previous excitement was swept away by this breath.
Is this the chilling power of dark magic? Joshua was thinking about it all the time. "Hehe, isn't Lord Byron and Uncle Geraint with me? What else do I have to be afraid of! It's just a parallel world, but Lord Byron and my Uncle Geraint, their personalities and powers will never change. They have always protected me and paid for me!"
The sky outside was about to reveal the white of the fish's belly, but Joshua and the others in the secret passage did not notice it at all. In addition to dodging the trap, Byron is also worried about whether Parsa will still be in the secret room, so that their whereabouts will be completely exposed. However, it occurred to him that if Parsa was in the Chamber of Secrets, things might have been more favorable to them. After all, this secret room was an unspeakable secret to him, and even though he was now very good at dark magic, it was still very difficult for him to deal with the three of them on his own. Parsa was also one of the leaders of the Five Dragons Knights at the beginning, and he was not stronger than any other captain. In addition to Byron himself, with the help of Geraint and Joshua, while fighting Parsa in a stalemate, he can use goggles magic to expose his crimes.
The three of them followed the direction of the black qi in the magic crystal, and everyone could feel that with each step forward, the restlessness of the black qi constantly refreshed their strength. Finally, after walking a few dozen steps, a gate appeared in front of the three of them. Joshua saw that the gate was made of stone bricks, similar to the labyrinth beneath Flame City. The walls on both sides of the gate are also carved with two hideous dragon heads. The dragon's eyes shimmered with a strange green glow, and two blue flames loomed in the torch above the statue, and there was an eerie atmosphere everywhere around the entire chamber.
"I wonder how this door opens?" said Byron, grimacing. But he could clearly observe that at this time, Cheng Dù, who was surging with black qi, had reached a new peak, and the secret room was inside this door.
"Could that weird guy Parsa have put some magic on the door, and need some kind of sesame open door spell?" asked Joshua, shaking his head.
"Even if there is a spell, it must be related to dark magic, and we definitely don't know where to start. Byron said.
"Since it can't be opened with a key, then we can only use hard smashing. Suddenly, Geraint wiped his nose with his hand and laughed.
"I don't know if Parsa is in there. Byron said casually.
"Regardless of whether he's in there or not, we'll find a way to smash this door open. Geraint shouted as he drew his sword.
"Be careful of what's on the door, let me try it first. Byron said as he raised his weapon, poured his fighting spirit into the long sword, aimed it at the center of the stone gate, and slashed down.
The stone gate shook violently after receiving Byron's blow, and sure enough, as expected, a black smoke suddenly rose from the stone gate, and slowly dispersed, as if a new protective shield had been erected outside the stone gate. Byron then swung his sword again and launched a series of attacks against the shield, only to bounce off all of them.
"It seems that Parsa, the old fox, is still on guard, but I wonder if our attack outside will alarm him?" Byron frowned slightly.
"If he's in there, he'll definitely see someone outside the backroom, so we've got to do it quickly. "But as long as he can't let this room move, even if someone else escapes, the evidence will still be inside." ”
"But how do we get in?" Byron shook his head, "and the defensive barrier he has laid seems to bounce back our fighting spirits. ”
"Parsa's enchantment is infused with elements of dark magic or not, we can all try one thing. As she spoke, the corners of Geraint's mouth rose slightly and she looked at Joshua.
"Uncle Geraint, why have you been smiling so weirdly lately?" Joshua glared at Geraint.
"Is there one?" Geraint smiled again, "Your Majesty, the Holy Sword Fragment on your body can be used here." ”
"Well, the black demon lion we encountered in the royal garden at that time was solved with the use of the Holy Sword Fragment. I believe that the legendary invincible sword, Escaliba, would never be afraid of Parsa's shield. Byron nodded in agreement.
"The Holy Sword can only be used by those who have the light attribute, and everyone else must use the fragment through a certain medium, so this crucial blow should be handed over to His Majesty the King, right?" said Geraint.
"Well, the two of us are gathering fighting energy on the side at any time to protect His Majesty the King. Byron clenched his weapon and watched the door of the chamber.
"Hehe, look at me!" Joshua pulled out the fragment of the holy sword in his arms, learning to levitate the fragment in the air with his fighting spirit. Immediately after, he excites all the fighting qi from his body, and pushes the fragments into the protective shield composed of black qi. The splinter was embedded in the human body like a dagger, and a gap appeared in the shield. The crack gradually spread in different directions, and the entire shield instantly split apart and turned into black gas again, quickly dissipating.
After the protective shield was removed, the stone door slowly opened on its own, and the secret room was presented in front of everyone.
"It turns out that this is Parsa's secret room, the source of sin!" Byron said calmly, but Joshua could feel it, and even Byron was very excited at the moment. It seems that all the one qiē is coming to an end.
The layout of the secret room is even more rudimentary than everyone expected. Stone bookshelves are piled high with magical books of all kinds. On a large stone table in the center of the chamber, a thick magic book was spread out and placed on a stand. The table was littered with magical vessels and potions. Byron: They could clearly see some black words floating directly above the spellbook.
"This book is an important tool for him to study dark magic, right?" Byron looked at the crystal in his hand, the black gas in it was violently swaying, and he was about to break through the crystal and return to the book.
"Lord Byron, what are you waiting for, hurry up and use the wind god's goggle magic!" said Gerant, "Parsa doesn't seem to be here. ”
"Hehe, when the time comes, he will wait for all the troops inside and outside the city, out of the Black Dragon Knights, to defect collectively!" Joshua said with a smile.
"It's time...... Byron pulls out an obsidian, which Eliad said to have refined specifically to help them use goggle magic. Combined with Ruona's crystal, the obsidian slowly cracked, and a tornado formed inside that spread out in the chamber, and the crystal also emitted a dazzling light. Joshua and the others felt the entire chamber shake. The light of the crystal casts a huge reflection, revealing all the clues in the secret room, restoring the past.
Joshua felt as if time was going backwards, and Parsa's actions were completely exposed by the magic of the goggles. And it was he who used the dark magic of "Dark Entanglement" to murder the Holy King Roy. The whole picture is filled with Parsa's withered face with an eerie sinister smile. At this moment, Eliad had already set up a receiving barrier for the goggles on the main battlefield where the two armies clashed, and Joshua believed that both sides of the battlefield must have stunned expressions now.
