Chapter 1052: Chapter 793: Angel and the New Weapon
The initial invasion was unexpectedly calm.
In the situation where the green flesh covering the maze of passageways was cleared away, at least, on the 9th level of the artificial maze, Reiger and the others encountered no obstacles at all.
The seemingly endless traps and contraptions in the artificial maze appeared to be damaged due to the destructive spread of the green flesh.
The brightly colored monsters were almost nowhere to be seen, apart from the occasional few man-eating flowers that emerged, only to be swiftly dismembered by the adventurers; the previously densely packed swarming monster army had completely vanished.
Thus, whether it was the fourth, fifth, and sixth troops invading from the 9th level of the underground city, or the first, second, and third troops invading from the large pit on Daedalus Street, none encountered significant obstacles at the start. They could proceed smoothly to their destination—the 10th level of the artificial maze, Knossos.
It was from this level onwards that the artificial maze turned into a magic cavern and began to reveal its malice.
"Boom!"
An abrupt roaring sound occurred as a mass of flames exploded at the passage entrance of the 10th level.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...!"
Caught off guard, a group of adventurers who had just rushed into the 10th level were hit head-on by the surging flames, some being blasted away, others suffering burns amid their cries and screams.
"Quickly! Healers!"
"Heal them!"
Several high-level adventurers barely avoided the direct hit of the flames, and then, with pale expressions, shouted to the healers protected by dwarves with shields.
The pale-faced healers finally regained their senses and hurriedly began chanting magic to heal the injured adventurers.
"Are you okay, Rephia?"
Reiger held Rephia, riding the explosive wind from the flames, smoothly avoiding the center of the explosion.
"I-I-I-I’m fine...!"
Rephia screamed with a flushed face, twisting her body, seemingly touched somewhere inappropriate by Reiger.
Unfortunately, Reiger’s attention wasn’t on Rephia at all; he didn’t even notice the feeling in his hands. He squinted his eyes, looking ahead.
Only to find that this floor covered with green flesh was entirely different from other rotting, diseased-like areas. It didn’t feel disgusting and dirty at all; instead, it gave off an inexplicable eerie cleanliness.
The green flesh here wasn’t randomly surging but lay like a carpet, covering the ground and creating an incredibly smooth surface.
The surrounding walls and ceiling were also intricately crafted, allowing the green flesh to be laid out neatly and smoothly without a single gap.
This green flesh differed from the previous poisonous deep green, now presenting a beautiful emerald green.
Along this emerald-like passage, thin lines of light resembled circuits, either drawing straight lines or curves, forming patterns like those of engravings.
This is the ring.
Constructed collectively by six spirits, it connects the six spirits.
It is both the magic array of the Immortal Essence Great Secret Technique and the circuit generating magic power circulation. As long as the six spirits are not completely defeated, it won’t disappear nor can it be destroyed.
A strange yet elegant song reverberated through the entire floor, evidently sung by the six spirits.
And within this song, the whole road covered with magic circuits began glowing brightly, making numerous large and small magic arrays appear on the ground, walls, and ceiling, akin to muzzle-like apertures, targeting the intruders who arrived here.
The flames just now were sprayed from several red magic arrays, while blue and golden arrays were spinning, either releasing cold air or emitting electrical currents, unleashing different elemental magic before all the stunned adventurers.
The next second, snow blasted out like a storm, and lightning struck like a giant hammer, consecutively attacking the group of intruders.
"Quickly! Dodge!"
From the eye crystal carried by Reiger came Finn’s shout, informing him that those suffering from abnormal magic bombardment weren’t just here.
The six adventure troops invading the 10th level of the artificial maze Knossos were simultaneously attacked.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"......
Instantly, the roaring sounds continuously rang out, the explosions were incessant, countless magic came from all directions, bombarding the intruders with merciless attacks.
In an instant, the beastman adventurers at the front were blown away by lightning, the human supporters and magic guides at the rear were frozen by snow, even the dwarf meat shields were pushed away by explosive winds, startling the healers behind.
Flames, snow, lightning, light, rock...... All kinds of magic fell like torrential rain, tormenting everyone.
The power of these magic spells suggested that each could rival high-tier magic guides’ lengthy chants.
Facing such high-firepower magic bombardment, the adventurers tried to dodge, but the width of the passage was limited, causing everyone’s dodge space to be restricted, making it impossible to completely evade the magic from all directions.
"Damn! What is this...!?"
"Is it those spirit clones causing this...!?"
From the eye crystal, the angry roars of the Amazonian twins on Theone’s third troop, desperately dodging magic attacks, could also be heard.
