The light distorted and became illusory, then condensed back into reality.
When Elwyn's feet landed on solid ground again, he had returned to the ruins of the Sun a month ago.
Bright torches dispelled the darkness around him, and the platform was full of people.
He blinked, a little dazed. The lively scene in front of his eyes was a stark contrast to the ruins he had just seen.
Elwyn stood alone in the corner of the platform with his wand raised, looking very silly, but no one noticed his sudden appearance.
The platform was noisy, and the adventurers and alchemists were all discussing excitedly.
"Have you heard about the news? Is it true? "
"It's hard to say. Thousands of alchemists have studied it for a month without any results. How can that Italian witch be so powerful?"
"There's no loss in going to take a look. I was going to give up on returning to my country. If they can really crack the mechanism on the obelisk, we can follow them in. I heard that the core area of the ruins of the Sun is the treasury of Ramesses II …"
"Yes, there are countless gold and precious ancient Egyptian relics inside."
"That's nothing. Someone found out that there's an even more important treasure hidden in the ruins of the Sun …"
People poured into the room where the obelisk was. Elwyn listened for a while and quickly figured out what they were talking about.
The matter was not complicated. Rafael, the Seductress who had quarreled with the Pendulum, had announced three days ago that they had successfully deciphered the Alchemy Mechanism on the Stele. They would be using it today to open the entrance to the core area of the ruins.
Everyone was ready to go and see what they were going to do.
Of course, many Wizards also wanted to take the opportunity to get a share of the loot.
"Rafael's excavation team?" Elwyn remembered Elena telling him that it was the dark Wizards of Raven's Claw who had cracked the spell.
Could it be that those dark Wizards were hidden in that excavation team?
Was it those Wizards from Italy? That witch had said that she had already grasped the key to cracking the mechanism.
No matter what, it was not too late. He followed the crowd into the secret room.
According to the information from Elena, the demon had been summoned today, in about ten minutes.
The secret room was already full of Wizards, many of whom were eagerly looking at the three obelisks in the center.
Once the passageway to the core of the ruins was successfully opened, they were all prepared to rush in as soon as possible.
Seeing the greedy looks on their faces, Elwyn curled his lips in disdain.
They were afraid that they wouldn't be able to find any treasures. What was coming was a powerful demon.
He looked around and saw alchemists from all over the world in the crowd.
He had also gone to listen to their speeches. These people were all on the list of missing people in a month's time.
Soon, Elwyn found Lavier. She was standing beside the Moon Obelisk with Pendulum and the other team members.
"Elwyn!" Lavier's eyes lit up when she saw Elwyn squeezing his way through the crowd towards her. She hurriedly went up to him. "Oh my god, it's really you. Where have you been for the past month? I went to the third excavated area to look for you, but you weren't in the secret chamber. The magic inside was gone, and no one saw you … "
"I sent a letter to Hermione and told her about your disappearance, but strangely, she didn't respond at all," Lavier continued. Lavier continued, "I was just thinking about asking Pendulum to send more people over after everything here is over. He didn't quite agree at first, but I told him that you might have found a new secret passage. He didn't compete with Lafleur here because he wanted to find a new area and discover new discoveries. Oh, right, we'll take over the excavation work in Horus' room! "
"I know. Your letter to Hermione was delayed, but it's a good thing it was," Elwyn said. "Listen, Lavier, this …"
He did not finish his sentence. Instead, he stared blankly at the magic altar in the center.
On the magic altar in the center of the three rooms, the fairy Lavier and the Italian witch were standing there.
The moment Elwyn entered the room, the magic had already begun.
The gray-haired witch waved her wand, and a magic rune appeared out of thin air. Crimson light rose from the magic altar.
"They really did it!" Lavier said in disbelief, and turned to look at the altar that was glowing red.
They could see a viscous red liquid gushing out from the end of the witch's wand, pouring endlessly onto the altar.
"Huh, what's that liquid she poured into the altar? Why is it mixed in? "
"It's fresh blood!" Elwyn said in a low voice. "She's summoning it. The devil is about to descend!"
"What?" Lavier did not understand what Elwyn was saying.
Silence. The strange sound of blood flowing and pulse beating echoed in the room. There was also the sound of swallowing.
The wizards raised their heads and looked around aimlessly, trying to figure out where the sound came from.
In the blink of an eye, the three obelisks started to change.
"Look at the Sun Obelisk!" someone screamed. Their eyes all turned to the Sun Obelisk.
On the Sun Obelisk, the pillar-shaped red crystals glowed brightly.
Under the effect of magic, fresh blood gushed endlessly into the obelisk. Bit by bit, the obelisk gradually turned blood-red.
The red was eerie and demonic, making people feel uncomfortable.
It was like a huge container was being filled up bit by bit. Finally, the sun symbols on the top of the obelisk turned completely red.
There was a crisp sound, as if something had been opened.
Like a real sun, the sun symbol made of jade began to glow. The blood-red light illuminated the entire secret room.
The torches were no longer useful. Everything in the secret room had turned red.
Under the blood-red light, the oppressive feeling grew stronger and stronger.
No one spoke, and the chatter gradually died down.
The wizards looked at the blood-red sun. The atmosphere was frighteningly oppressive, as if someone had died.
"How eerie!" Lavier muttered. "What magic is this?"
Almost at the same time that the Sun Obelisk was completed, the Moon Obelisk was also filled with blood.
In the next second, the sun and moon shone together. The demonic blood-red sun and moon shone together, and the atmosphere grew heavier.
Many wizards felt that something was amiss. Was this black magic?
They retreated quietly. Many of them were prepared to turn around and flee. They wanted to leave the room first.
But it was too late. The witch standing at the center of the magic altar suddenly let out a shrill and terrifying laugh.
