"I am about to descend again, and the nightmare will never end!"
The voice of the evil god echoed in the temple, "Tremble, insignificant human Magus, and prepare to submit in the face of death!"
"Shut up!" Elwyn shouted.
His voice reverberated back and forth in the silent passageway, producing waves of echoes.
The whispers of the evil god annoyed him. For a moment, he just stared blankly at the pitch-black cave under his feet, his mind filled with thoughts of Sirius.
He couldn't believe that Sirius had fallen down just like that. He might have already met with misfortune.
Then, Elwyn started running as fast as he could.
There was no point in staying here any longer. The cave was too deep. Sirius couldn't climb up from below, nor could he jump down from above.
Because of the appearance of the evil god, the mana in the space had become restless.
However, it was clearer than before. Elwyn could now clearly feel the location of the evil god. It was right below the giant pit, in the deepest part of the ground.
Other than jumping down, there was another tunnel that led there.
It was the secret tunnel that he had told Sirius about. Centaur Ugart had led him through the lake to the Moon Temple in the illusion. That was the correct path.
Elwyn knew he had to hurry. Sirius might not be dead yet.
He ran towards the tunnel as fast as he could, and along the way, he saw many Magi who had lost their heads out of fear.
They also heard the whispers of the evil god and stood in place, not knowing what to do.
"Avada Death Seeker!"
Just as Elwyn turned the corner, a sharp voice suddenly sounded.
His previous training had paid off. Elwyn instinctively lay on the ground, and a green light brushed past his body.
He saw a Magus in a black robe standing not far in front of him with a magic wand in his hand.
His skin was pale, and he was dressed like the three Magi he had seen at the bar last night. He wore a thick black robe that covered his entire body.
This was a vampire!
After the deep pit that swallowed everyone appeared, the vampires who had been hiding in the dark finally came out. They surrounded the rest of the people and prepared to kill them to ensure that the things that happened in the temple would not be leaked.
No matter if it was the Evil God or their plot, they couldn't let the people of the outside world know.
Regarding what happened today, only the dead could truly keep a secret.
Elwyn had no time to waste here. He panted heavily, and as he dodged the Curse of Slaughter, the tip of his wand shot out three beams of red light.
Facing Elwyn's counterattack, the vampire frantically dodged.
He seemed a little surprised. He did not expect Elwyn to dodge his sneak attack and react so quickly. He even cast three spells in such a short time.
Following his own incantation, Elwyn shouted and charged forward.
The wand in his hand shone like a sword, and sparks flew everywhere.
After the vampire dodged the first round of attacks, Elwyn's Petrification Spell followed up and hit the vampire!
His arms and legs were pressed together, and he fell back heavily.
If it was before, Elwyn would still interrogate this vampire and ask him what they were planning, but now he was in a hurry to save Sirius.
He did not even look at the vampire on the ground and continued to rush forward.
In a remote corridor far away from the previous room, Elwyn looked at the moon's orbit carved on the wall. He used all his strength to quickly hit the full moon symbol on the wall.
Creak, creak, creak.
With the dry sound of the pulley, the heavy stone door slowly rose.
A turbid and damp smell gushed out of the secret passage. Just as Elwyn had expected, this secret passage extended deep into the ground.
As the stone door rose, the manic magic in the air was much denser than before.
From the current situation, this secret passage must lead to the location of the Evil God.
On the thick layer of dust on the ground, Elwyn also saw many footprints, which were left by the hidden vampires.
At the end of the long and narrow secret passage was a terrifyingly large stalk of Angelica.
From its height and thickness, it was at least a few hundred years old.
Angelica was a plant with a very strong characteristic. When it grew, it would emit a special smell to the surroundings.
This smell could poison all the surrounding plants to death, causing them to slowly wither. Even other Angelica was no exception.
In the end, only one stalk of Angelica could survive and enjoy all the nutrients in a certain area alone.
Looking at this terrifyingly large stalk of Angelica, Elwyn finally knew where the vampires got the material to cast the curse on the gold.
One had to know that Angelica was mainly used to make the antidote of the truth serum, the drug of confusion, and the aphrodisiac. It would confuse the human mind and make them impatient and reckless.
Or it would make them gradually lose themselves in the illusion constructed in their mind.
In some black magic that could confuse the mind, the juice made from the leaves of Angelica was an essential ingredient.
Angelica grew very slowly. Elwyn had seen a stalk of Angelica in Professor Sprout's greenhouse before.
That stalk had been raised for more than forty years, but it was still much smaller than the one in front of him, and the effect it could cause was much weaker.
Other than that, Angelica usually lived in dark and damp places.
Next to it, Elwyn saw a downward sloping passage filled with red water.
The smell in the air was unpleasant and strange. Elwyn remembered Professor Sprout saying that the smell of Angelica would confuse people.
He held his breath and rushed into the pool, casting a spell on himself.
The pool was very deep, following the ancient passage all the way down to the depths of the ground.
In the murky water, Elwyn couldn't tell the direction at all.
He could only rely on his instincts to dive. The red water gave off a sticky feeling. Elwyn quickly knew what was going on.
It was unknown what those vampires had done, but they had mixed a large amount of blood into it.
This was really terrible. Thinking about himself in the blood, Elwyn felt like vomiting.
He resisted the nausea and dived faster.
But immediately, he felt something wrapped around his ankle.
He gripped the Charm tightly and turned his head to look behind him.
Other than the red filth, he couldn't see anything in the murky blood.
Elwyn felt around and bent down to get closer to his ankle.
His heart was beating fast. Elwyn could feel the approaching danger. There seemed to be something in the blood.
He raised his guard and slowly explored.
