The reliefs in the palace were scattered all over the place. Upon closer inspection, one would notice that three of them were slightly larger than the others. In terms of position, these three reliefs, which were almost 10 meters tall, were right in front of the original statue of Solomon.
The content of the reliefs was easy to understand. In the first relief, Solomon was fighting a huge snow monster with a staff. In the second relief, he killed the monster and buried its corpse. In the center of the third relief, the white palace was built on top of the snow monster's corpse.
This was clearly the proudest achievement of Solomon's life. Some areas in the picture were drawn with sparkling ice crystals, and the words "Seal Berantulu" were written in the High Elves language.
Roddy didn't think much of the content at first, but when he saw the words "Berantulu", he realized the seriousness of the matter …
When the seal was broken, the monstrous aura of a demigod rushed out, and the entire palace seemed to tremble!
Rody had never thought that he would be unable to stand because of an invisible 'aura'. However, at that moment, he had to admit that even the arrogant Dragon in front of him trembled in fear and almost collapsed.
"This is …"
Merlin Sala took a few steps back, her face as pale as a sheet, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief. However, before she could even react to what she had released, several large cracks appeared on the base of the broken stone statue.

"Their attacks have slowed down. Everyone, save your strength!"
At the same time, Sodelor shouted an order to the soldiers beside him. He then lifted his leg and kicked a boulder off the city wall. The snow monster that was climbing below couldn't dodge in time and was slapped in the face. It wailed and fell.
Compared to the previous critical situation, the pressure on the city wall had been greatly reduced. The appearance of the "Demonized Snow Monsters" and the few bosses almost caused the defense line to collapse. Fortunately, they didn't know any siege skills. In the end, they only managed to tear down part of the wall before they were smashed by the endless defensive equipment.
But the group of veterans had fought with their lives on the line until now, and their stamina was finally starting to run out. Fortunately, their efforts showed results. After several hours of attacking the city, these monsters finally had a sense of fear. Their crazy spirit had weakened, and at this time, only a few who were not afraid of death were still climbing up.
"Bring the food up. Those who are exhausted, report in advance. Take off the useless armor. Don't waste any energy you can!"
Sodelor patrolled around. Seeing that the soldiers had regained the initiative, he had his subordinates take his place. He took a few steps back and drank a few mouthfuls of water. Then, he narrowed his eyes.
Surprisingly, there were a few tall barbarians on the front line. Only five of the previously hesitant barbarians chose to pick up their weapons and join the front line in the end. However, most of the barbarians chose to flee. In this way, there were only six barbarians who stayed behind to continue fighting. The other fourteen had already run into the inner city and disappeared without a trace.
Sodelor was furious, but he knew that this was unavoidable. After catching his breath for a moment, he got up and prepared to arrange for the reserve team to rotate. But before he took two steps, a sweeping aura made his hair stand on end, and he shivered all over!
The other soldiers' movements also paused for a moment at the same time, and even Erwin almost threw away his axe because of this pause.
Before the soldiers could turn around to look, a series of roars sounded from below the city wall again. In the next instant, the snow monsters that had originally retreated rushed over with bloodshot eyes. Their bodies expanded by more than 30% as if they had cast the "Bloodlust Spell". Their strength and explosive power almost doubled. The snow monster at the front sprinted and jumped more than six meters high, clinging to the middle of the city wall. It looked like it would only take a few steps to flip over the wall …
"Not good!"
Sodelor's expression changed. He immediately realized that the city wall was probably going to fall. But the words "retreat" were at the tip of his tongue. That was because the "plan" Roddy had written for him clearly stated that there were several traps and mechanisms in the city that could not be approached, and it had been emphasized countless times that "Do not trespass into the inner city!"
For the past two years, Roddy had not made a single wrong decision, and Sodelor had always carried out Roddy's will accurately. But now that things had come to this, he could no longer be a "mission executor" who stuck to old conventions …
Gripping his blood-stained longsword tightly, Sodelor pulled David, who was about to rush up, and shouted, "Take the reserve team and retreat from the small path to the west! Stop in front of the third house from the right and wait for me to advance! "
"Team Two, retreat, Otto! Take those big fools and retreat with you! "
"Team Three, retreat! We … give up the outer city wall! "
"Light this place up!"
The fifty or so people were stunned at first, but then they started to carry out the order without any nonsense. They cooperated well and did not panic as they retreated. The soldiers who brought up the rear scattered the remaining grease on the ground and lit it up along with the black logs.
Flames soared into the sky, and the snow monsters that had just climbed up were immediately burned to the point of wailing. Then, there was a dull thud of heavy objects falling to the ground.
Sodelor retreated with the last team. When they arrived at the previously planned rendezvous point, he immediately rushed to the front of the team and led them through the complicated paths in the outer city. His actions made the soldiers look at each other in dismay. Logically speaking, they should have retreated to the inner city and organized a defense on the inner city wall …
When they looked back, they found that the burning walls were already filled with the silhouettes of snow monsters, and when they looked forward, Sodelor was still leading them left and right without any idea what was going on.
"Boom!"
The sound of a demonic snow monster crashing into a stone wall could be heard. Its eyes were bloodshot as it ran wildly, instantly smashing through several walls and catching up to the rear of the team!
On the city wall, they could use the terrain to defend, but on flat ground, this terrifying four-and-a-half-meter-tall monster was really hard to resist. A single punch from it would probably turn anyone into meat paste …
"Don't look back. Run with me!"
As soon as Sodelor's voice fell, the demonic snow monster behind them smashed through the beam of a stone house and roared as it rushed over from the empty space the team had just bypassed. But just when the soldiers thought that a battle was inevitable, a large amount of blood suddenly sprayed out!
"Hiss!"
Countless blue pillars of light suddenly shot up from the seemingly normal ground. When they looked carefully, they found that the empty space was actually filled with huge ice cones that were more than three meters long … Under such an attack, the demonic snow monster and the ones behind it were instantly turned into sieves!
Sodelor, who was running at the front, finally heaved a sigh of relief. His eyes flashed, and with a wave of his hand, he led the team to the next trap …
*****
While Sodelor and the others were fleeing in panic, Akasha stood in the center of the huge magic formation of the magic tower, her hands pressed on the core sphere, and her brows furrowed as she poured out magic power.
The sudden appearance of the magic formation made them understand the current situation of the battle, but it still could not solve the current crisis. In a moment of desperation, Akasha had to choose to touch the "core of the magic formation" — she was not trying to do it randomly. Because she had come into contact with Elson's defense system, she judged that this magic formation should have a similar defensive function.
But her attempts still failed: the "magic power" to cast divine spells could not be activated, and the "power of the dead" to summon the undead also did not work. Akasha racked her brains and compressed the magic power according to the method in the book "The Essence of Energy". Even after purifying the "power of the dead", she still did not succeed …
And just when she was in despair, the "elemental energy" that she inadvertently tried to imitate suddenly caused a change in the magic formation.
Akasha's face lit up, and her eyes looked to the side of the magic formation. In the projection, the elemental creatures that were fighting with the snow monsters outside the Magic Tower suddenly stopped, and then began to concentrate on killing the demonic snow monsters as if they were under control …
Beside her, Natha frowned, but before she could say anything, she saw Akasha raise her arm. Following her movements, a large number of fireballs and icicles condensed on the base of the demonic tower. With a whoosh, they streaked across the air and fell into the group of snow monsters like raindrops, instantly exploding into a sea of blood!
"I can control this Magic Tower …"
Akasha shouted excitedly, but then her face turned pale, and she almost fell to the ground.
She immediately took out a bottle of magic potion and drank it, saying hurriedly, "Hurry up and save them, I can't hold on much longer!"
Natha looked around. At this time, Roddy and Merinsera were still surrounded in the white palace, and none of the snow monsters outside could break in. On the other side, Sodelor was being chased by the snow monsters, and was trying to get closer to the inner city …
With a decision in her heart, she pursed her lips, picked up her longbow, and ran down.
*****
"Bang!"
Inside the palace, Merinsera, who was trying to get close to the seal, was sent flying for the third time. When she fell to the ground, her expression was extremely ugly, and it took a lot of effort for her to even stand up.
Roddy frowned at this scene, but he still didn't move. Although the other party had beaten him up quite badly, it was clearly not the time to gloat over his misfortune …
In the face of the word "life and death", these things were nothing.
At this moment, there was undisguised despair in Roddy's heart — because no matter how he looked at it, the level, skills, and equipment that he was so proud of, from any perspective, were nothing in front of a "demigod".
The other party's aura had not yet broken through the seal, but he was already suppressed to the point that he couldn't even stand up.
Even when he was at the peak of level 59, Roddy had never encountered such a strong enemy. He looked at the seal that was gradually breaking, and his heart was in a mess of emotions. But as he suddenly clenched his fists, he suppressed the despair in his heart!
The more despair he felt, the stronger his desire to live became.
Roddy's gaze swept across the [Quest Pane], and he quickly thought about all the information about this dungeon: the outer city wall, the magic tower, the white palace, the snow monster, Berantulu, Solomon, the strange seal, and those relief sculptures …
Suddenly, Roddy looked at the relief sculptures in the distance again, and after frowning slightly, he suddenly shouted at Merinsera, who was about to get close to the seal again, "Hey! Do you know about spell formations? I might know how to solve it. "
The Shadow Dragon's figure froze on the spot because of this sentence.
Although she didn't want to admit it, Merinsera had to face the fact that she had just done something wrong.
She shouldn't have been so arrogant as to think that she was in control of everything, and even more so, she shouldn't have broken the seal so recklessly … But what was done could not be undone. Not to mention the regret in her heart, Roddy's question tortured her even more. When had Dragons ever been ordered around like this?
But now, facing a demigod who was about to break through the seal, she had to admit that she was useless. Hearing Roddy's words, she gritted her teeth, and her pretty face almost distorted in anger. But after a few seconds, she still admitted defeat and said, "According to human standards, I … am a Magus."
"That should be enough."
