"Creak! Creak! "
The scorching and ferocious wind mixed with the gravel was like a wild beast that kept attacking the acorn-shaped witchcraft shield [World's Barrier]. Elvin's back was facing the direction of the explosion as he spread out his [Thunderbird Robe] and protected Angel who was still in shock.
Not to mention Angel, even Elvin himself could feel the horror of this level of energy explosion even though he was separated by a layer of witchcraft shield.
He had to admit that he almost went too far.
In the past, alchemy bombs were mostly used in the sea, and they were used against huge sea monsters that were easily hundreds of meters long.
This led to him underestimating the power of the alchemy bomb in an enclosed space. He almost got caught in the explosion when he had just escaped from the "Temple of Bones".
After a while, the aftermath of the explosion gradually subsided.
"Pooh pooh …"
After deactivating the witchcraft shield, a circular wind belt was rolled up to isolate the dust outside. The two of them looked back.
After the explosion.
In the valley, the "Temple of Bones" that was half submerged in a small pond had completely disappeared, and the size of the small pond had been forcibly expanded by nearly half.
The hill near this side collapsed and turned into a huge gap, and muddy water gushed out.
Even the lush vegetation that was a little further away on the inside of the slope was swept away by the shockwave.
The power of the explosion of hundreds of alchemy bombs had almost completely changed the terrain here.
After witnessing the potential of the alchemy bomb, Elvin felt that this tactic had great potential in the future. If this continued, sooner or later, he would be able to replicate the [Six Hundred Billion Explosive Spell] or the [Big Ivan Spell].
The power of mortals might not be able to hurt the gods with divinity, but no one below grade 5 could withstand it.
After adding the anti-magic ability to restrict teleportation, even a Crown Sorcerer would be turned into ashes if he took a direct hit.
Elvin looked forward to such a future.
"That … Teacher! I think we should leave this place as soon as possible. Those demons and evil spirits might be attracted after hearing the commotion, and it will be troublesome if we are surrounded. "
Angel did not think that far ahead. As she gave the warning, she paid close attention to her surroundings, wary of the 'ghosts' that might jump out at any moment.
"Okay, we … Wait, Angel, look! What's that? "
Hearing this, Elvin, who was about to withdraw his gaze, suddenly discovered that after the smoke and dust dispersed, above the dirty muddy pond, a wisp of strange substance that was as thin as smoke but as brilliant as the sunset quietly emerged, floating one meter above the ground.
Immediately after.
It was like a clear sky after a snowstorm. The fresh and sweet smell in the air made people feel refreshed.
"This is the spiritual source?"
Angel couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaim.
Apsuya, the princess of Huron, once said that according to the information she got from the Spirit of the Giant Bear, before the real origin that determined the ownership of the Divine Throne spilled out, such scattered treasures would also randomly leak out in the form of clouds, gems, fruits, phosgene, and so on.
The spilled out had different levels, corresponding to the external appearance. Although the faint phosgene was the lowest level, it was still a rare treasure.
The big fat piece of meat that triggered the appearance of the arcane realm was surrounded by wolves, but Elvin didn't mind being a toothpick.
He pulled Angel and was about to rush up, but suddenly stopped.
Because …
On the other side of the muddy pond, a 'Nimanstegian' with empty eyes and bloody body quietly appeared.
Moreover, his empty eyes didn't affect his vision at all. When he 'saw' what was floating above the muddy pond, he didn't hesitate to take off the human head on his neck and shot it with great force.
Whoosh —
"Ahahaha … Let's play ball together!"
The human head was wrapped in a pungent blood mist. It spun and spun as it charged towards the spiritual origin that looked like a wisp of light.
Elvin panicked.
"F * cking play with your big head!"
Lightning flashed in his hand and he was about to stop it.
"Awoo —"
A dry and coarse wolf howl that did not contain a single trace of moisture suddenly rang in their ears.
Before they could see the real source of the sound.
Elvin was shocked to find that the bloody mist around the head suddenly dissipated, and the human head was like a rubber ball that had missed its target, brushing past the wisp of light and falling directly into the muddy water.
Looking at the body opposite him, a large cloud of white ashes suddenly gushed out of the empty neck, and it fell to the ground with a plop.
Then, its body and head turned into blood-red light particles and slowly disappeared. A powerful ghost was declared dead just like that.
Even with Elvin and Angel's sharp spiritual senses, they didn't catch what had just happened. Elvin didn't dare hesitate at all. He immediately threw out another acorn and propped up [World's Barrier].
"Angel, cover your ears and close your eyes!"
After giving the order, he was already facing a great enemy. His eyes flashed, and his brain worked quickly.
'Did the attack just now come from the sound or something else? Even if it's an evil spirit's curse, it must need some kind of medium.
Even the strongest Master of Curses couldn't kill someone without a medium, let alone a powerful 'ghost' that was just as evil in nature.
Intelligence, intelligence, which evil spirits have such terrifying abilities in the intelligence I have? '
Clang, clang, clang …
At the same time, Elvin immediately released four Flesh Puppets that were equipped with steel armor and formed a steel wall in front of him and Angel. They were consumables that could be mass-produced, and it wouldn't be a big deal even if they were lost.
Also, he could share his senses with them through the Flesh Ritual. With this highly mysterious inheritance treasure, he could set up another barrier on the spiritual level to further control the risk.
When dealing with weird existences like evil spirits, no matter how careful they were, they couldn't be too careful.
Although they couldn't strictly correspond to their levels, the combat ability of an evil spirit was almost equal to a Transcendent Rank-2. It was hard to say for an evil spirit.
While they were generally immortal, the difference in their abilities was huge. It wasn't rare for them to be weaker than evil spirits, but it wasn't rare for them to be able to easily take the life of a Rank-3 Transcendent.
For example, in the Temple of Bones just now, it was fortunate that the Iroquois were there to explore the way. Otherwise, if they suddenly encountered the Boning Priest with weird abilities, they might have suffered a great loss.
However …
At the level of evil spirits, most of these immortal monsters had their corresponding legends. They were mysterious knowledge that wasn't inferior to words and could provide some reference. Elvin had collected some from the archives in the colony and some from the Hurons.
However, compared to the huge number of spirits on the continent, it was better than nothing. It was too easy to make a wrong judgment by looking at the appearance of the victim in advance.
Soon …
Through the [Flesh Puppet]'s vision, Elvin saw the terrifying existence that easily killed a powerful "ghost".
Rustle …
Accompanied by the sound of the friction of charcoal, a creature that looked like a wolf leisurely approached.
However, its body seemed to be made of white ashes after being burned, and it was constantly changing. After five or six steps, it quietly turned into a reindeer, and after another eight or nine steps, it quietly turned into a wild boar.
During this process, the only thing that didn't change was that pair of …
Bang!
The Flesh Puppet that looked over with widened eyes suddenly spat out a pile of ashes under its iron helmet and fell to the ground, dead.
Even though his vision was cut off, Elvin heaved a sigh of relief because he knew about this evil spirit.
It was the evil spirit "Ashes".
It was formed by various animals that were burned to death in a forest fire. It could change into the form of various animals at any time and obtain the corresponding animal's characteristics.
Only its pair of eyes never changed, like two balls of charcoal that had yet to be extinguished.
Ability: As long as other individuals have the behavior of "looking at the other party's eyes", they will be affected. Their internal organs will be completely incinerated and turned into ashes.
The "ghost" that was killed just now might have looked down from above when it was flying over and happened to see the eyes of "Ashes". It turned into ashes without any resistance.
However, although this ability of "Ashes" could be called a bug, its other methods were not very good. It could be said that it was a model of extreme "adding points". After seeing through its weakness, it would be fine as long as one did not look at it.
[Ritual of Flesh and Blood — Mobile Barracks]
Elvin activated the summon and filled up a small team of ten heavily armored guards.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
He pulled out a special two-handed sword made of coral steel and rushed forward to cut it into eight pieces.
In case there were other uninvited guests, he did not dare to waste any more time.
The two of them quickly rushed to the side of the wisp of light and took out a crystal bottle to collect it.
"Huh?"
However, they found that this magical substance did not seem to exist and directly passed through the bottle.
After trying a few more times.
They found that the thin wisp of light would pass through any inorganic matter, no matter if it was normal material or extraordinary material, it could not be stored.
"Angie, come and absorb it."
It was not that Elvin was pretending to be magnanimous. Just like how high-level totem gods were only interested in the "origin overflow", this kind of low-level spiritual origin was useless to a Magus like Elvin who had started to break through the limits of rank 2.
However, to an official Magus like Angel who had just broken through to rank 2, it was quite useful.
Angel did not stand on ceremony with Elvin. She reached out her hand and touched it lightly. This wisp of spiritual origin of the new continent had already entered the young girl's body. In the spiritual vision, the spiritual aura on Angel's body immediately grew by a circle.
This process of improvement was natural and did not have the slightest feeling of rushing to help it grow.
Elvin estimated that as long as she could do this three or four times, Angel would be able to firmly step into the ranks of senior Magi and save countless hours of bitter meditation and spiritual exploration.
After tasting the benefits, the two could not help but gradually look forward to this journey.
Leaving behind two flesh puppets to scout the way, they set off again. Whether or not they had to fight for the crucial spiritual origin in the end, they had to at least find it first and ensure that they could escape from the secret realm before talking about other things.
This was because the six linked lakes were originally the product of glacial activity in ancient times.
Manitoulin Island, which was 130 kilometers long, had a thick white glacier at one end and then gradually changed to continuous forests, huge valleys, and lakes everywhere at the other end.
Walking all the way on Manitoulin Island in this secret realm, it seemed to have gone through millions of years of history, from the 2,400-meter-thick ice sheet in ancient times to the present scattered lake like a string of pearls.
It felt as if a fragment of history had been extracted to form this mystic realm.
Ghosts and evil spirits might run around, but as intelligent humans, of course, would have a purpose to move towards the lake in the lake on this island.
Since there was such an obvious "hint", then the legend that Manitoulin Lake was the hiding place of the "elves" might not be just a legend.
Especially for an adventurer who had never done his job properly. Anyway … he was already here.
