"This human face tattoo might not necessarily be related to the Bewitching Banshee, but since the Bewitching Banshee can use the power of the contract to do so, it means that there must be a way to simplify the contract process or hide the conditions of the contract." When Dorcas said this, he glanced at the human face tattoo. "So, we cannot underestimate any details."
Kael: "… You're right.
But you weren't so picky when we were in the underground sewers. "
The underground sewers were much more dangerous than they were now.
Dorcas humphed and spoke through the Spirit Bond. "It's not the same."
"What's the difference?"
"When I was in the underground sewers, my spirit didn't tell me to be careful of the contract. Of course it's different."
Angor didn't know what to say. So Dorcas wasn't someone who could think rationally.
But he had to admit.
Dorcas' spirit was way too strong.
Just like this time.
They weren't sure if the rune would use the contract to bind them or not.
But after Dorcas's persuasion, Angor and Kael were finally convinced.
At this point, Kael was already thinking. 'If we can't communicate with the human-faced tattoos, what should we do next?'
Thinking like this, he had already tacitly agreed that what Dorcas said was true.
"What should we do next?" Dorcas rubbed his chin with his right hand and pondered for a moment before shrugging, "In any case, I don't want to communicate with the human face tattoos, and I don't want to play any games. There shouldn't be anything else."
In this small isolated space, Dorcas could only sense a change in his spiritual perception from the human face tattoo. The other areas were normal, and there were no problems for the time being.
"But we can only go to the next area through the rune," Kael grumbled through the Spirit Bond.
They had searched this area before. Apart from the banyan tree where the rune was hiding, they couldn't find any other clues.
"Well … I think you're right," Dorcas said. Dorcas said, "But I don't have any other methods. Or rather, are you willing to sign an unknown contract with the wizard behind the scenes? Don't forget what happened in the ruins. "
Of course, Kael didn't want to sign such a strange contract.
But were they just going to waste time like this?
While both Cael and Dorcas were at their wits' end, Angor stared at the barrier and fell into deep thought.
Half a minute later, he spoke through the Spirit Bond. "There's another way."
Dorcas asked, "What method?"
"I checked the parameters of the barrier just now. It's the same as the space seal around Paradise."
Dorcas didn't understand what Angor was trying to say, but as a space manipulator, Kael's eyes lit up. "So you're saying that the space barrier and the space seal are one?!"
"Yes." Angor nodded.
Dorcas finally understood. "So, you can directly create a hole in the spatial barrier here and enter other regions?"
… Digging a hole? Do you take me for a groundhog?
But he knew that Dorcas was just trying to express something wrong, so he nodded in agreement.
Dorcas: "That's great! As long as we don't use the human rune, we can use other methods to get to other regions. "
With that, they quickly moved away from the rune.
Perhaps it was because of the trigger mechanism, the rune didn't force them to stay. It simply watched them leave and closed its eyes as if sleeping.
Angor and Dorcas arrived at the other side of the barrier.
They found a place where they could sense the presence of their clones and prepared to open a door to another region.
Angor had already broken the space seal.
Since the parameters were the same, he didn't even need to do any calculations to open a new door.
However, although the door was opened, it was pitch-black inside. It was impossible to see the bottom at a glance.
"What's behind the barrier? Why is it so dark?" Kael asked in confusion.
"Who knows where it is? None of us have been to this paradise before. Besides, I don't feel any danger. "Dorcas didn't seem to mind.
"You're right. As long as there's no danger, nothing else matters."
Angor spoke in a low voice, "The darkness you see isn't what's behind it."
“？？？”
Angor didn't bother explaining. "We'll see once we get in."
Angor stepped through the door first. Dorcas and Kael exchanged a look and followed him.
"We're … inside a space barrier?" Khael asked as soon as he saw Angor through the door.
"That's right." Angor nodded without hesitation this time.
Yes, the darkness behind the door did not mean that the area on the other side of the wall was pitch black. It was because the barrier was very thick.
To put it bluntly, the darkness they were in was still inside the "door". They had entered the door, but they hadn't stepped out of it yet.
This spatial membrane was much deeper than they had imagined. They had walked for dozens of steps, but they still hadn't reached the other end of the membrane. In fact, after walking for a while, they could even feel the slope.
It was as if the barrier wasn't facing each other. There was a slope?
Moreover, this slope was going up, and it seemed to be going up into the air.
After another ten steps, they finally saw the other side of the "door", which was the other side of the barrier.
Contrary to their expectations, there wasn't an empty space behind the door. Instead, it looked like a cave. However, the cave wasn't completely dark. They could see some burning torches hanging on the walls.
After everyone stepped out of the door, after careful observation and comparison, they could basically confirm that … they should be in a cave right now.
There were mountains in Paradise.
The rocky environment was a place favored by many earth element Magi.
Therefore, it was very likely that they were in a certain mountain in the mountain environment.
But why was there a mountain behind the barrier? Why wasn't there an outer layer of rock?
Looking at the burning torches on the walls of the cave, Kael seemed to have thought of something. "Don't tell me this is one of the playgrounds shown by the human-faced banyan tree?"
Earlier, they saw a lot of information in the tree's eye. For example, underwater combat, gold mining, bubble world, highland brawl, and so on.
From this, it could be seen that a Magus behind the scenes had modified Paradise into a playgrounds.
If that was the case, then they should be in one of these playgrounds right now.
Thinking of this, Kael frowned, "Are we still going to play games with that unknown Magus behind the scenes?"
While Kael was puzzled, Dorcas said softly, "I seem to sense a weak bloodline aura nearby."
Kael asked, "A weak bloodline aura?"
Dorcas nodded, "It's the bloodline aura of an Earthfire Salamander."
After a pause, Dorcas sighed, "What a familiar aura. When I was still an apprentice, I also fused with this bloodline. However, when I fused with an Earthfire Salamander, I was one of the best among my peers. It's completely different from the weak and mixed aura I'm sensing now. "
Dorcas said, "We can basically confirm that this bloodline aura comes from an apprentice. It's most likely not a bloodline user. Otherwise, the strength of this bloodline aura would be too weak. It should be some Occult apprentice. "
When Dorcas said this, he intentionally glanced at Karel.
Kael opened his mouth but did not say anything in the end. He only muttered in his mind, I didn't fuse with an Earthfire Salamander bloodline.
There was no doubt that Dorcas was mocking Kael, but his guess was probably correct.
The Earthfire Salamander bloodline's specialty was its thick skin and high resistance.
It was also suitable for Elementalist apprentices who had thin skin. However, Elementalist apprentices had too many self-defense cantrips, many of which were dozens of times better than Occult ones.
Therefore, when it came to fusing bloodlines, the Elemental Faction was more inclined to choose bloodlines that had an amplifying effect on the elements.
The Earthfire Salamander was a bloodline creature with thick skin. It was indeed a choice for bloodline apprentices who were more inclined towards close-combat or mystic apprentices who had weaker defensive abilities.
Since Dorcas was sure that this person was not a Bloodline apprentice, the only possibility left was that he was an Occult apprentice.
"Let's go check it out," Angor said.
If it was a formal wizard, they might need to be careful. But an apprentice … there was no need to worry.
He might even be able to find out what happened in Paradise from that apprentice. And who was the wizard who said he was "playing a game"?
Of course, Dorcas did not refuse. "Follow me. It should be nearby."
Dorcas walked to the front and led the way. Soon, they walked into the darkness.
…
At the same time, inside a large underground cavern filled with burning torches, a domed arena was set up.
A group of people were lying on the ground below the arena. Three of them were formal wizards while the rest were apprentices.
The wizards who were lying on the ground looked miserable as if they had been brutally beaten up. Some of them even lost an arm or a leg. The only good thing was that they were still breathing.
However, they still couldn't move, and they couldn't even get magic power support from the outside world because their surroundings were locked by the Spatial Seal.
The space seals were like transparent coffins that trapped them inside.
This was the result of their defeat in the arena.
The only thing they could do now was to silently cheer for the moving figures on the stage.
Only by defeating the masked man who issued the "game challenge" would they be able to leave this place.
And now, the only one who could defeat the masked man was Elder Yue from the Bilos family.
The two figures on the stage were almost impossible to see with the naked eye. They were Elder Yue and the masked man.
Elder Yue and the masked man were moving quickly. Their attacks were also withdrawn as soon as they made contact. They were both looking for the best opportunity and the opponent's weakness.
It was not that Elder Yue wanted to choose this kind of close combat, but from the previous battles, Elder Yue had determined that the masked man was very powerful in energy manipulation.
He could not give him any chance to release any energy attacks, especially space spells.
And to interrupt the opponent's attack, he had to be faster than the opponent. Therefore, Elder Yue chose to use the power of the bloodline to suppress the opponent, trying to gain the upper hand through close combat.
Whether Elder Yue's strategy would work or not, he did not know. But the masked man did give up on energy attacks and started this phantom battle with Elder Yue.
The more they fought, the more Elder Yue felt that his strategy was correct.
Because the arena had restrictions, as long as the opponent left the arena, he would lose. Close combat could not only interrupt the opponent's spell casting, but also prevent the masked man from pulling away.
This was the rule set by the masked man, but it became a shackle that shackled him!
"An opening!"
Just as Elder Yue was engaged in battle, she suddenly noticed that the masked man seemed to be in a trance for a moment, and his speed slowed down by a notch.
She was certain that the masked man was not deliberately baiting the enemy.
So Elder Yue would naturally not let go of this opportunity. She did not hesitate to fill her hands with blood and qi and slammed them fiercely at the masked man.
Although the masked man reacted, but because of that half a second of delay, it was still difficult for him to avoid the violent blow.
He could only turn his body sideways to deflect the force.
The violent palm strike still hit the masked man, but because it hit his arm, the masked man did not fall immediately.
But he was still forced to retreat a few steps.
Now that Elder Yue had gained the upper hand, she would naturally not show mercy. She quickly approached the masked man, trying to continue the previous cycle.
Just as Elder Yue was about to reach the masked man, the masked man suddenly stretched out a finger, and a light shield with the nature of space appeared directly in front of the masked man.
Light Shield of Light.
This was the most commonly used defensive spell of the space element, and Elder Yue could naturally recognize it. But she had not thought that the masked man would skip the steps of casting the spell and release it.
This was a spell of the witchcraft slot!
Before this, the masked man had never used a spell of the witchcraft slot, and now he finally used it.
Elder Yue's eyes flashed with a bad feeling. It was not difficult to break the light shield, but the process of breaking the light shield would be enough for the masked man to condense a more powerful attack spell.
At that time, she might not be able to withstand it.
Although Elder Yue had already felt that something was wrong, she had no choice but to quickly attack the light shield, trying to break the light shield before the masked man used other means.
But what surprised Elder Yue was that the masked man did not use any other spells, and let Elder Yue break the light shield.
Even under Elder Yue's gaze, the masked man turned his head to look at a certain direction.
Was this a distraction? Elder Yue did not look at the masked man's gaze and continued to attack.
At this time, the masked man who had his back to her suddenly said: "… A newcomer has entered the game, but did not use the proper method, this is not good."
"It seems that the fun here needs to end first."
