With just a moment's hesitation, the tunnel behind him was filled with earth energy, and a strange rune formation could be faintly seen on the floor.
Immediately, two tall figures appeared from the rune formation.
It was a teleportation spell, not an underground tunnel!
Grim's eyes flashed with a blue light. With just a glance, he was able to discern the method of the newcomer.
Although the opponent was using a teleportation spell, he could not sense any traces of spatial fluctuations. Instead, earth origin force filled the air, as if this teleportation spell was powered by earth origin force!
However, this was not the time to stop and study it. There were pursuers behind him and an ambush in front of him. The situation was worrying!
"You're Mary, right?" One of the two behind her slowly walked forward and spoke coldly, "Very well, the two who killed Geryl are both here today. I'll extract your souls and imprison them in the Soul-Binding Corpses for tens of thousands of years! "
It was a tall and handsome noble youth. His light blue robes flickered with dazzling runes in the darkness, and a terrifying frost energy began to spread throughout the tunnel.
"Geryl? Who's that? "Mary could not make heads or tails of the situation.
"If the name Geryl sounds unfamiliar, then what about the Devil Vine Girl?" The noble youth's handsome face began to contort, his expression strange and sinister.
"The Devil Vine Girl!"
"The Devil Vine Girl!"
Grim and Mary exclaimed at the same time. They could not help but feel that this was not an undeserved calamity.
An enemy had actually come knocking on their door! Looking at his age, it was very likely that he was the Devil Vine Girl's partner. This was going to be fun!
"What is the Soul-Binding Corpses he mentioned?" Mary could not help but ask in a low voice.
"It's a type of undead creature! It's made from a living person. Before the enemy dies, draw a special witchcraft circle on their body. That way, when the enemy dies in the sacrificial ritual, their soul will be imprisoned in an immortal body, becoming an eternal slave of the caster, "Grimm quickly replied.
With the help of the A.I. Chip, Grim had a terrifying 'photographic memory' of many basic knowledge and obscure subjects in the Magus world.
The noble youth strolled forward and added on his behalf, "What you said is only the lightest punishment. After all of you become Soul Binding Corpses, I will find a deserted place underground and bury you. I will let you suffer in silence and darkness for a hundred years while you are conscious! Don't worry, I will visit you from time to time. I guarantee that your souls will always be intact and your memories will always be clear. You won't be able to go crazy even if you want to! Hahaha … "
"Ugh …" Grim could not help but feel a chill run down his spine. He felt that he had underestimated the evil and madness of the enemy!
"Which way?" Mary whispered to him while he was still laughing wildly.
"In front!" Grim replied in a low voice, "There are two Quasi Sorcerers behind them. I can only sense a soul aura in front, so I can only force my way through! "
"Alright!"
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, Grimm's body burst into flames and a Flame Shield appeared around him. Mary hugged Grimm, and the two of them intertwined their bodies tightly. Without any hesitation, she threw herself into the lightning net.
"You still want to run?"
The noble in blue roared, and his body suddenly expanded several times. A giant hand covered in bristles viciously grabbed at the two of them.
Without the slightest hesitation, the two of them plunged into the lightning storm like a pair of sharp arrows.
The giant hand of the noble in blue barely managed to grab the two of them. As soon as the tip of his finger touched the lightning net, the paralyzing electricity scorched it black.
After the pain, the noble in blue roared and retracted his giant hand. The hand that was as thick as a stone pillar returned to normal in a blink of an eye. However, there was a burn mark between his fingers, and there was a faint black smoke coming out.
"Damn it, Hegel! Get rid of your lightning trap!"
The noble in blue roared loudly, but the target of his roar was obviously not in front of him.
As soon as Grimm and Mary entered the net of lightning, the rampaging electric currents found them.
Of course, the first to bear the brunt of it was the Flame Shield that Grimm had summoned.
The raging electric arcs splashed dazzling sparks on the Flame Shield. The terrifying electricity that was enough to burn an ordinary person into charcoal made the shield crackle. The lightning energy was so dense that it had condensed into a terrifying blue plasma that floated less than a meter away from Grimm's head, slowly drifting about.
A normal Flame Shield's defense was only 35 points, but Grimm had an affinity with fire, so the Flame Shield that he summoned increased its defense to 50 points. However, it was still not enough to protect them through the short distance of less than 10 meters.
10 meters!
With Mary's extraordinary agility, the distance of 10 meters could be covered in the blink of an eye. However, at this moment, it seemed so long and dangerous!
The Flame Shield disappeared before it could cover half of the distance. The high-temperature plasma that had accumulated outside rushed in, and it would take less than half a finger to turn Grimm into a wisp of green smoke. Mary's physique was much higher than Grimm's, so she had a great chance of surviving the second half of the lightning journey.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye! Just as Grimm's body trembled and he was about to close his eyes and wait for death, Mary suddenly shouted. Waves of blood surged out of her body and instantly enveloped the two of them.
No matter how pure the Blood Origin Energy was, it could not withstand the violent and ferocious scorching plasma. The two of them were like fresh meat roasted on a fire, and the Blood Origin Energy that lingered around them was instantly evaporated and devoured countless times. In the end, the thin Blood Source Force could not completely protect the two of them. Mary gritted her teeth and moved most of the remaining Blood Source Force to Grimm's side, exposing most of her body to the electric current and plasma.
Squeak …
The terrifying sound of roasting flesh and blood could be heard. Mary's exposed body was immediately charred, and then turned into ashes that fluttered in the air.
On the other side of the narrow passage, a short gnome was staring at everything in front of him with his mouth agape.
Of course, he had seen everything that had happened in the lightning net clearly. But even though he had seen it with his own eyes, he still could not believe what he had seen.
There was actually someone who dared to barge into his lightning trap!
How … how was this possible?
But whether he believed it or not, this scene had happened. And right in front of him, there was a soft pop, and a large mass of charred black things rushed out of the lightning net and fell heavily to the ground.
"Little guy, you're quite tenacious! That's good too. Langdon will owe me two big favors in a while! "The short gnome was thin and ugly, but he was a real human. At this moment, when he saw that two prey had unexpectedly bumped into him, he immediately bent down to grab them with great joy.
In his palm, a fine and gentle lightning glove was clearly visible.
Any living thing that was touched by this paralyzing lightning would not be able to stand up on its own for a quarter of an hour.
Bada.
With a soft sound, a crystal clear elemental crystal core fell to the floor.
The dwarf was slightly taken aback. He was about to pick it up, but before he could get close, a thick cloud of Earth Elemental smoke enveloped him.
"Huh, what is this?"
The gnome's curiosity was piqued. At this moment, Langdon's loud roar came clearly from the other side of the lightning net.
Just as the gnome was hesitating whether to catch the two first or turn off the lightning trap, there was a sudden loud rumble in the area shrouded by the earth elemental smoke. A behemoth had burrowed out of the ground, coiled around its thick body, and pounced fiercely at him.
A rock-like body, a rock-like snake head, a snake's tongue, and fangs. This … this is a rock python!
The gnome disappeared on the spot in a flash, and when he reappeared, he was already behind a rock peak twenty meters away. And where he had been, the rock python's terrifying, hard, fanged mouth slammed into the rock floor. In an instant, the earth cracked, the rock formation shook, and the entire cavern collapsed in the rapid turbulence.
The rock python pulled its head out of the floor and raised its body again. Its earth-yellow eyes instantly locked on the gnome not far away, and it charged violently again.
Damn it, what the hell is this?
Startled, the dwarf stomped his feet and cursed. He rubbed his hands together and the violent and turbulent lightning struck the python's head, firmly holding it back. The wantonly splashing electric current burned the rock python's head, and even its hard rock skin began to melt like hot wax under the extreme heat.
However, the Giant Rock Python relied on its thick skin and didn't care about such a small loss. It continued to charge forward.
Left with no choice, the gnome could only use lightning to jump elsewhere.
"Hegel, what the hell are you doing? Hurry up and turn off the lightning trap! "On the other side of the passage, Langdon heard the earth-shattering explosion and became more and more violent and impatient.
For a long time, Langdon did not get a response from his companion. His bloodshot eyes widened, and he turned around and shouted, "Felix, can you teleport me there?"
Felix, who was following behind him, held onto his long staff and focused his senses. He shook his head and said, "The changes in the terrain there are very violent, and the aura of the ley line is unstable. There is no way to form a stable ley line node!"
Damn it, damn it …
The enraged Random could not wait any longer. With a roar, his body once again expanded into a three-meter-tall little giant. A set of crystal-clear blue armor condensed around his body, and then he plunged into the electric net in a frenzy.
Violent electric currents wreaked havoc outside his body, and the blue plasma bubbles gnawed at the ice crystal armor until it was badly damaged. But he covered his face with both hands, and with the constant flow of the power of ice, he resisted the attack of the lightning, and strode out of the electric net.
In front of him was a broken and twisted passage. The cavern that used to be there no longer existed, only a broken ruin left after a great battle. A huge rock python was lying on the ground, its 30-meter-long body filled with thick, pungent black smoke. The place where the snake's head used to be had been replaced by a pool of fiery red flowing lava. A sparkling earth-yellow crystal core flashed a few times, and finally dimmed.
The gnome was crouching near the snake's head, looking for something.
"Where are the enemies I asked you to intercept? Where are those two bastards? "Langdon, who had transformed into a small blue giant, roared wildly.
"Aren't they over there?" The gnome turned around and pointed. "Huh? Where did they go? "
