Under the influence of Prelude to Rebirth, the hundreds of undead creatures were all wiped out in less than five minutes.
It was a pity that Angor did not encounter so many undead creatures after leaving Dark Castle. Unfortunately, his magazine was already full, and there was no white light to be absorbed into his revolver after killing them.
After the battle, Keely quickly took the Duon that was still alive and began interrogating it.
It was one of the weakest Duons. Its upper body was a yellowish carp with a hint of red, while its lower body had long, white legs. Judging from the shape of its legs, this Duon was female.
Apart from Angor and Nausica, everyone in the team knew how to analyze languages. They all gathered around the Duon, hoping to know where the exit was as soon as possible.
While Keely was interrogating the Duon, Angor stood there silently with his brows furrowed. He seemed to be thinking about something.
"What's on your mind?" Nausica approached him.
"I'm thinking about that woman. Do you think she's the one we know?" Angor sounded unsure.
"Who do you mean?" Nausica wondered. Judging from the conversation between Angor and the woman, Nausica could tell that she knew them, and she hated Angor even more than she hated Nausica. Their common enemy, and a woman at that … Nausica couldn't think of anything.
"Hookdick," Angor said in a soft voice.
Nausica was surprised. It was true that their common enemy was Hookdick. She had fought with Hookdick more than once, but wasn't Hookdick a man?
As far as Nausica could remember, Hookdick was still a burly man with a strange smell, a rough face, and dressed like a primitive tribal chief.
She couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but judging from the silhouette, she was also a slim woman.
"That can't be right, can it?" Nausica wondered.
"It's possible. Hookdick was injected with Succubus Blood." While speaking, Angor simulated Hookdick's image, which Saka showed him last time.
It was a tall woman with a voluptuous body, big breasts, and a perky butt. She was only wrapped in a thin, translucent veil. Her body was perfect, but her face was unsightly. Angor even saw some stubble around her mouth, which made her look like a half-man.
"Hookdick? Succubus Bloodline?!" Nausica couldn't help but exclaim out loud despite the fact that her other emotions were suppressed. As a Bloodline wizard, she knew what Succubus Blood meant better than Angor.
Succubus Blood didn't have many special effects, but it was a favorite among female wizards. Not only did it have minimal side effects, but it also made them more feminine. However, for male Magi, it was a nightmare.
After the injection, although they would become much stronger, it was very easy for them to undergo a gender change. It would be fine if the gender change was complete, but most of the time, the side effects would only be able to maintain half of the gender change. In other words, there were both male and female characteristics.
Just thinking about it made him break out in cold sweat.
"Shan said you met her twice. Can you see if she's Hookdick?" Angor asked.
Nausica carefully looked at the illusion and recalled the woman who ambushed her back in Flying Fish World. The woman was wearing a thin bamboo hat, so Nausica couldn't see her face clearly. However, the woman's body shape was very similar to the one she saw in the illusion.
As for her face … She didn't see it, but she could tell why she was wearing a veil over her head. Angor's illusion would explain it.
"Yes." Nausica nodded. "If that's her, I can understand why she tried to kill me."
"Most likely. Hookdick is a Soul Manipulator. Only a Soul Manipulator could control so many undead creatures." Angor sighed. "Too bad we couldn't kill him."
"Even if we did, we might not be able to kill him. For Soul Manipulators, death isn't the end. It's a new life. "Nausica sighed.
Angor didn't think much of Hookdick at first. However, he began to feel threatened when he saw Hookdick controlling so many undead creatures. He could deal with undead creatures, but what if Hookdick controlled souls?
Soul spells that couldn't be used against him were mostly useless. However, he didn't have any other way to deal with souls other than using the sequence of gravity. If Hookdick decided to fight a battle of attrition, Angor might really lose.
With that in mind, Angor made up his mind that Hookdick had to die no matter what.
While they were talking about Hookdick, Keely came with Shan and Shiliew. Angor glanced at the poor Duon lying in a pool of blood.
Keely said, "We didn't kill it. The scales on its heart were plucked by that woman. No one will recognize it after it returns to the Duons. It asked me to give it a dagger, and after I interrogated it, it killed itself. "
"That's a tough one," Angor said. "Did you find out how to get out of here?"
Keely was silent for a while. Then she looked at Shan and said, "You tell him."
Shan didn't look too happy either. "There is a way, but it's hard."
Shan paused for a moment, then briefly recounted what she had interrogated him.
From Shan's explanation, Angor slowly understood their current situation.
Their initial guess was more or less correct. According to the Duon, they were indeed swallowed by a giant sea monster. However, they weren't inside the monster's stomach right now. Instead, they were inside the monster's shell.
This monster was the pet of the Duon ancestor who was awakened by "Wayfarer of Green" Kayeso.
Its name was Erdus.
Erdus was a giant clam that was born with the ability to create illusions. Ever since the Duon ancestor was sealed in ice, Erdus had been sleeping near The Final Land. Once a month, it would open its shell and absorb fish from the sea so that it could survive by digesting them.
"We just happened to bump into it when it opened its shell. The black whirlpool you mentioned was actually the whirlpool that was created when it opened its shell and sucked in the sea fish." Shan paused for a moment before continuing, "The shell will only stay open for two hours. At the last minute, it will release the barrier and allow the fish and water to flow into its body. If we want to leave, we have to get out of the shell in one minute.
But … we're over the time limit. "
As soon as Shan's voice fell, countless tides accompanied by sea fishes and sea beasts rushed in through the various holes. Angor quickly ejected his soul from his body and used the sequence of gravity to keep everyone in place.
About five minutes later, the water slowly returned to normal.
However, the originally empty space was now filled with seawater.
Angor returned to his body and looked at Shan. "You mean we missed the last minute? The shell is closed now?"
Shan nodded without saying anything.
Angor looked around and saw Keely and Shiliew giving him the same look.
"We'll have to wait for a month to get out of here."
"A month? Can we afford to wait that long? "Angor looked at Shan again." You said there's a way out. What is it? "
"Find Erdus's core and kill it!" Shan said, emphasizing every word.
…
There were only 40 minutes left until the countdown ended.
Outside, Lawson flew out of the machine tower and landed in front of a steel building that looked like a Dragon Blood Tree.
An iron pillar pierced into the sky, and at the top of the pillar was an oval building.
This was the R&D Department. It was the most central area of Floating Mech City.
Before Lawson entered the building, he already saw dozens of wizards wearing the robes of the department. The one at the front was "Mediocre" Muse, the current director of the department and one of the two city lords of Floating Mech City.
Muse had his signature smile on his face, but usually, this smile never reached his eyes. However, when he saw Lawson, Muse smiled brightly. "Oh, I didn't expect to see you here. I could've gone alone."
"The two city lords of Floating Mech City came separately. Who knows if someone will try to sow discord between us? Let's go together, "Lawson said in a casual tone." We can't afford to be careless when it comes to the purification garden's evolution. "
Muse yawned. "I don't think it's that important. I'm just a mediocre boy. I can't learn the sequence of purification anyway."
The sorcerers of the Research and Development Institute were speechless. The dean was at it again. If Muse was mediocre, then weren't they all salted fish?
"That's not a small chance. Once you do, it'll help you on your way to becoming a legend. " Lawson said indifferently, "Moreover, there are close to a thousand official Magi from various large organizations gathered here. It's better not to be stubborn and just go through the motions."
Muse nodded. "Sure. Let's go then."
Everyone rose to the sky.
At the same time, all wizards on the other side of Floating Mech City flew toward the valley where the purification garden was located, as long as they were not training.
There were wizards from Floating Mech City as well as wizards from other organizations.
When Lawson landed on the ground, the sky above the valley was already filled with wizards.
At this moment, on one side of the valley, many Magi on guard brought out huge screens of light and put them together.
Then, a flash of light appeared.
On the screens, a large, circular plaza was displayed. There were many strange statues around the plaza. The eyes of the statues were shining in different colors, which gathered at the center of the plaza.
At the center of the square was a barren land that was about a hundred meters wide. At the center of the square, a ball of light floated above the barren land. It was like a heart, sometimes big and sometimes small, constantly beating.
Greed flashed in the eyes of all the Magi in the valley when they saw this ball of light.
This circular square was the Altar of Demise!
The light orb was the manifestation of the law of purification.
