The chaos in the Astral Pool Ruin had been going on for two days and nights.
As time passed, not only did the chaos in the Star Pool Ruins not subside, the barrier that maintained the Star Pool Ruins began to weaken.
Two of the three observation pavilions in the ruin had already lost their light.
If the light of the last observation pavilion was also covered by the fog, it meant that the Wall of Light enchantment would be completely broken.
"How long can it last?" The one who spoke was Rhine. At this moment, he was standing outside the barrier. The constantly flickering arc of light of the Congealing Light Wall was reflected on his cheeks. One could clearly see the dignified expression in the flickering light and shadow.
"There's news from Granny. Menavaro's size has increased again, and the surrounding fog is wearing down the barrier faster than Granny can supply. According to calculations …" Wallace listened to the data, and his face turned slightly pale. "The Wall of Light can only last for … two more hours."
When the other Magi heard that there were only two hours left for the barrier, their expressions turned ugly. Once the Wall of Congealing Light was broken, it meant that the most terrifying creatures inside would be completely released.
They did not know what kind of monsters were trapped in the ruin. But after two days of fighting, they all knew how terrifying they were.
Especially that tentacle monster called Menavaro. It had been spreading madness like an epidemic, and the rate at which it spread was horrifying. Some apprentices would even go crazy when they heard the monster's murmurs. Even wizards would not be immune to the madness if they were infected by the mist in the ruin.
So far, there had been six Magi who had fallen into madness.
Mister Tree Spirit did something to stop the madness from spreading. However, no one knew what caused it. They did not even know if the six wizards could be saved.
Everyone felt helpless when they heard that the Wall of Light could only last for two hours.
It wasn't that they were afraid of fighting, but that once the mist inside them dispersed, it would definitely cause a terrifying disaster. Even if Brute Cavern could escape the mist with the mirror world, what about the tribes on the highlands? What about the humans in the Underground Kingdom?
Just as everyone was feeling down, Rhine said, "Two hours is enough."
"Enough? Do you mean … he's here? "Wallace looked at Rhine, as if he had guessed something.
Rhine nodded. "Yes, the Fiery Witch has already contacted me. She has already reached Vinsbyers and contacted Aesop. If nothing unexpected happens, Aesos will arrive soon. "
Hearing Aesop's name, everyone's expressions relaxed a little.
Although Aesop was only a wandering Sorcerer, there was no lack of powerful individuals among the wandering Sorcerers, and he was one of the best among them. As a space truth-finder wizard, Aesop had received Bazeer's inheritance. Not only was he powerful, but his barrier was also one of the best in the entire southern region.
As for the Wall of Light, Rhine had asked Aesop to construct it.
As long as Aesop arrived, even if he couldn't immediately repair the Wall of Light, he could delay its shattering and give them more time to deal with the monsters, or … resolve the aftermath of the barrier's shattering.
Ten minutes later, the Fiery Demon Witch and a man wearing a twisted mask appeared near the Star Pond Ruins.
The man nodded at Rhine and didn't waste time on small talk. He approached the Wall of Light and reached out his hand to sense it.
This man was "Voidwalker" Aesop, Rhine's old friend.
A few minutes later, Aesop came to Rhine's side with a serious expression.
"What's the situation?" Rhine asked.
"Two of the three space nodes are broken. The last one is still strong enough to withstand a torrent of energy. Is it Saunders or Horus? "
"Neither. Iron Granny's avatar is guarding the place."
"Oh, it's her." Aesop's eyes flashed. Iron Granny had lived in seclusion for many years, but as a wizard who had lived for thousands of years, he still knew how terrifying Iron Granny's power was.
Aesop continued, "However, the last space node can still support the barrier's operation, but I think the barrier's consumption rate has exceeded the limit. The situation is not good."
"Can you fix the Wall of Light?"
Aesop shook his head. "It's impossible to fix it. However, I can try to reinforce it. This can delay the Wall of Light's shattering. "
"How long?"
"Based on the current rate of consumption, I might be able to reach two days. But it's hard to say if the consumption rate increases further. "
Rhine considered for a moment and nodded to Aesop. "Then we'll reinforce it first."
After a pause, Rhine said, "After the reinforcement, I wonder if a new boundary can be built outside the Wall of Light?"
"The space around here is unstable. To build a new barrier, we need to expand the area. We need to cover at least several kilometers. Are you sure you want to do it? "
Large-scale barriers required a lot of materials. Besides, the space around them was unstable. Such barriers might not be able to achieve the same effect as the Wall of Light. At best, they could only buy some time.
"I'm sure."
Aesop nodded. "I see."
Next, Aesop didn't say anything else and directly began to reinforce the Wall of Congealing Light.
While he did that, Rhine asked Fiery Witch to lead a group of wizards to Darkivil Empire to gather more people.
Brute Cavern was not worried about the Wall of Light's destruction. However, there were a whole kingdom of humans nearby. Rhine had to do something.
Aesop was indeed a master of barriers. It only took him half an hour to finish reinforcing the Wall of Light.
Aesop nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the Wall of Light that shone again. Perhaps it was because of the better materials, the barrier worked better than he expected.
"As long as the internal consumption rate remains the same, it can last for at least three days," Aesop said.
Rhine sighed in relief when he heard Aesop's proud voice.
Three days would give him more room to maneuver. He would have more time to set up a new barrier.
"Is the barrier's limit the same as before? Will it affect the people inside? "
Aesop was confused. "Is there someone else in there apart from Iron Granny?"
Iron Granny would definitely survive until the very end, so Rhine was not talking about Iron Granny.
Rhine nodded. "Greya's inside."
"Greya?" Aesop pondered for a moment. "You mean Barbie from Candy House?"
Rhine nodded.
"Why is she inside?" Aesop frowned.
"It's a long story. Just think of it as something delicious that Greya cares about. "Rhine felt a little helpless when talking about Greya. Rhine already ordered the wizards to leave the place when the mist began to spread. Greya, however, did not leave. She was very interested in the little fatty named Davosia.
Greya was not from Brute Cavern, so Rhine could not force her to leave. He had to leave her to Iron Granny for now.
"If she wants to come out, she'll have to leave together with Granny. My method of reinforcing the barrier is sealed. Unless the barrier is destroyed, she won't be able to come out anytime soon. "
"If that's the case, we'll have to let her stay with Granny then," Rhine said.
While they were talking, Wallace received another message from Granny.
"Another monster showed up in the ruin. She looks like a long-haired woman, but her face is covered by her hair."
After hearing Wallace's description, Rhine immediately thought of the woman's identity. "She's Mi Jin Niang, guarding the spirit garden. She's probably the weakest of the leaders."
Mystic Lady might be the weakest among the monsters, but she was still a force to be reckoned with.
After all, she came from the Nightmare Realm.
Rhine looked at Aesop. "Looks like the Wall of Light is going to consume more energy. How long can the barrier last?"
Aesop did not answer directly. Instead, he checked the barrier's energy consumption and said, "It's not too much. Two days should be enough."
Wallace breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Aesop's words, but just in case, he still asked, "Are you sure the barrier won't be destroyed?"
"Don't worry, it won't." After Aesop finished speaking, he also explained, "At present, there are only two ways to directly destroy the barrier. The first is to use special items to destroy it or directly sneak out of the barrier."
Since the monster in the ruin can stay inside for two days and two nights, it means there are no such items, so we can rule it out. "
"What about the second way?" Wallace asked.
"The second way …"
Aesop was about to say something when he heard a loud crack. He abruptly turned his head to look, only to see that the newly reinforced Wall of Congealing Light suddenly began to crack.
At the top of the barrier, there was a cloud of fog that rose to the sky and was spreading crazily.
Clearly, a hole had appeared at the top of the barrier, releasing the fog inside.
Aesop and Rhine exchanged a look and flew up to the sky at the same time. In their field of vision, they could clearly see two black and white figures, like shooting stars, drilling into the hole in the sky above the Spirit Formation.
"It's the black and white maid who escaped!" Wallace also flew up and exclaimed.
Clearly, the barrier was destroyed by the black and white maid.
Aesop looked at the broken barrier and said, "The second way is to break it from the outside …"
"It's too late to say that now," Wallace said.
Aesop was helpless. He did not know that other monsters would come to destroy the barrier. He looked at Rhine, who sighed. "This has nothing to do with you. It's our negligence …"
After a pause, Rhine looked at Wallace. "Tell Iron Granny to stop guarding the barrier. Prepare for battle."
As soon as he said those words, a formless pressure began to spread into the surroundings. The fog that spread out from the exit of the barrier was quickly gathered by this pressure, preventing it from dispersing directly.
Wallace also sensed Rhine's aura. He nodded and said solemnly, "I understand."
Since they were going to fight, Rhine could not just watch from the outside. As the strongest person present, he would enter the Astral Pond Ruin and suppress the three monsters inside.
But before that, Rhine had one more thing to do.
He looked at his old friend Aesop. "This has nothing to do with you. You should leave first."
"I can help you," Aesop said.
"The situation here is complicated. I don't want you to stay here." Rhine sighed. If he could win, he would not mind Aesop's help. However, there were far more monsters in the Astral Pond Ruin, especially Minister Nuke. Especially Minister Nuka, if he appeared, it would definitely be a disaster no less than the arrival of the Demon God.
Aesop wanted to say something, but he nodded in the end. Since Rhine had said so, as an outsider, it was not a good choice to get involved.
Just as Aesop was about to leave, Wallace suddenly exclaimed, "Eh?"
"Sir Rhine, Granny sent a message. She said that all the monsters have returned to the ruin. None of them came out."
When Rhine heard Wallace's words, he lowered his head in confusion.
At some point in time, the fog covering the Astral Pond Ruin had begun to dissipate. Although there was a broken barrier separating them, Rhine could clearly see that there were no longer any monsters in the Astral Pond Ruin.
There were only two broken observation booths and the only one that was still lit up, which was guarded by Iron Granny.
All the monsters were gone.
No, there was still one more!
Rhine looked toward the center of the ruin, which was the entrance to the Land of Sinners. There were no monsters on the surface of the water. However, there was a giant meatball sitting at the entrance of the passage that led to the Candlelight Promenade. It was munching on a lollipop while looking outside.
Davosia!
Davosia was still there, but he was not outside the ruin. He was at the border between the Land of Sinners and the Astral Pond Ruin.
If Davosia did not come out, Rhine would not go in either. Logically speaking, all the monsters in the Astral Pond Ruin were gone.
But why did they disappear?
Why did they come out?
Was it because the black and white maids had completed what they wanted to do, so they returned to the Land of Xinnai?
Just as Rhine was puzzled, his ears suddenly twitched.
He heard a strange gust of wind that was rapidly descending from the sky towards them.
Rhine raised his head in confusion and took a closer look.
A human figure was descending rapidly from the sky against the multicolored light.
Rhine's dynamic vision allowed him to clearly see the figure's face. However, when he saw the other party's appearance, his expression became a little strange.
"Angor?"
