While Brando was making his bet, Duke Arreck and his party had already passed through the central maze under the lead of Ko Hua. The road ahead was getting wider and wider, gradually forming a cave-like corridor inside the mountain. Those corridors were hundreds of feet high, and the pillars with a diameter of more than thirty feet supported the pillars that looked like the ribs of giant beasts. Looking up, these majestic pillars were embedded into the walls on both sides.
The hall was not empty. The prehistoric battle had extended to this place, causing the empty walkway to be filled with skeletons of all sizes. These skeletons were still in the state of battle when they were alive. It was as if a tragic battle had been interrupted by a sudden disaster, and all the participants were frozen in the last moment of their lives. The bones filled the entire space, forcing Arreck and the others to meander through the gaps between them. He was bypassing a skeleton with wings. The skeleton was still wearing a half-body armor covered with silver wings, but the armor that used to shine had lost its magic brilliance and turned into a pile of rusty copper and iron.
This was the corpse of a divine servant, a seraph. This kind of Golden Race was completely wiped out in the Battle of Ebabel. The remaining few people hid outside the Elemental Frontier and disappeared with the gods. Today, there were still some secondary divine descendants in Wohnde, but compared with these terrifying and beautiful creatures, they were not the best among the Silver Race. Duke Arreck noticed the skeleton of the giant wolf that fought with the seraph. The third vertebra of the skeleton's skull was obviously white. This was a typical third-generation Twilight Wolf, the offspring of Fenrir. They and their ancestors had been imprisoned by the Divine People, and the place where they were chained was left with a permanent mark that went deep into the bone marrow.
Arreck withdrew his gaze from these skeletons and narrowed his eyes.
"Where is this place?"
"The Promenade of Meditation."
"Where does it lead to?"
"The place you want to go."
Arreck turned around. Beside Devard, Échis' eldest daughter was shrouded in a black robe. The surface of the robe had some scarlet patterns, and the black fabric made her skin shine like snow. The hood was so deep that only her sharp chin could be seen. However, the pair of red eyes shone in the shadows, and the cold glint could still be clearly felt. When Arreck did not speak, Ko Hua pursed her lips and did not say a word. Ever since she absorbed the other half of the soul fragment, she had become like this. She was no longer as pure and innocent as before.
However, only when Arreck looked away would the girl's face reveal a pained expression. She frowned.
Arreck could faintly feel that the eldest daughter of Échis had not forgotten everything. Those stinking demons from the Sulfur River gave him her soul fragment and told him that this thing could make the unruly Ko Hua obedient. However, the latter was neither unruly nor obedient. Although she did calm down and lead them out of the maze.
"Lady Ko Hua." Arreck thought for a moment and spoke with a hoarse voice.
Ko Hua looked at him.
"Do you still remember what happened in this war?"
"What does this have to do with you?"
"I just want to pay my respects to that great war."
The girl raised her head and looked around the hall with cold eyes. "This is Mayne's subordinate. When the offspring of Fenrir attacked the Promenade of Meditation, they collided with the seventh legion of the seraphs. They fought here, as you can see."
"And then?"
"There is no then. The dying Milos activated the central core, and the light of death shrouded the entire battlefield in an instant. Mayne, Meyr, and I, as well as the third column of the Noh race and their commander, were forever frozen at this moment. The Frost Giants lost their father forever, and the Twilight Legion also suffered heavy losses. "
"The central core?"
"It should still be somewhere around here, but you can rest assured that it should also be severely damaged and will no longer pose a threat to you."
Arreck nodded and no longer spoke. However, there was a rare surge in his calm heart. He could imagine what kind of war it was. The Noh race, the offspring of Fenrir, the seraphs, the Frost Giants, the most terrifying names of the ancient era were all turned into dust in an instant. Even an existence like Ko Hua was no exception. This was the Twilight Legion.
Thinking of this, he could not help but respectfully bow his head.
"Lady Ko Hua, please forgive us for our previous offense."
"It's fine."
Under Ko Hua's hood, there was no fluctuation in her blood-red eyes. She glanced at the human in front of her, without joy or worry. But in the depths of her eyes, there was a blazing light.
… …
Perhaps even Brando would not know that the central defense core of the Holy Cathedral of the Hibernator had such a glorious past. In his memory, it was just one of the bosses in the Holy Cathedral, and its strength was not even as strong as the Twilight Gemini's battle. The core was located in one of the halls in the central labyrinth. Before the players reactivated it, it would only be silent under the dust forever, and even the central core in its activated state was nothing more than that.
And at this moment, Brando was fulfilling his bet.
"Wait," Aloz's voice was hurried, but it was very pleasant to the ears. She stared at Brando, "You are not allowed to use that thing you got earlier."
"So she still remembers the Elapsed Needle." [At least you're not that stupid. I'm not crazy enough to burn experience points for a bet.] Brendel thought to himself, [You're not that stupid.]
"Other items can't be used either," Aloz added.
"You're too nosy, is this how you make a bet?"
"You're trying to cheat!" Aloz revealed a pair of sharp canine teeth, as if she would bite Brando if he did not agree. Brando had to raise his hands in surrender, "Okay, okay, okay, you have the final say."
The little female dragon was smug, feeling that she had prevented Brando from being sneaky. With her own ability, she did not think that Brando could get ahead of her. She was a dragon, and the strongest of the dragons, the Gold Dragon. Although she was not as fast as the Blue Dragon, she would not lose to a human.
But immediately, she knew how big a mistake she had made.
It turned out that the core of this bet was to pass through the monsters, and not simply to compare who was faster. The little female dragon realized this with despair.
Thousands upon thousands of Icy Breaths, even a dragon wouldn't dare to touch them lightly. Every time she wanted to move forward, those little bits of Revitalizing Spells gathered together like a wall, blocking her way forward. Aloz naturally did not dare to dive in like this, she had no choice but to go around. Fortunately, Brando pointed out six pillars to them that could be used to bypass these Revitalizing Spells, otherwise the little female dragon would have gone crazy.
If she did not follow the route pointed out by Brando, she found that she could not move forward even half a step.
However, the cunning human was able to slip through the gaps between the monsters every time. Even at such a close distance, only a few Frost Rays hit him. For the sake of fairness, each of them had The Shire's frost barrier on them, and these few Frost Rays hit Brando, it had no effect at all.
"Damn, there's a constant Dimensional Anchor in this place!"
The Shire's strange cry came from nowhere.
In short, except for Scarlet, the remaining one person and two dragons were somewhat crying. The young wizard servant finally knew why his Lord looked at him with a smile that was not a smile. It turned out that he was looking for his own death. However, he couldn't figure out how his Lord knew that there was such an obscure enchantment spell like Dimensional Anchor in this place.
Brando was laughing secretly.
Aloz would never understand what the problem was. In fact, before someone invaded, the Frost Breaths were naturally distributed throughout the square. Since it was naturally distributed, the huge amount of Frost Breaths could not lie evenly on every inch of the ground. And the fact was that before being stimulated by external objects, most of these Revitalizing Spells were actually grouped together in groups of three or five, but because there were too many of them, it looked like the whole square was everywhere.
In other words, there were still one or two fixed cutting routes –
These classic cutting routes were also summed up by the previous players from repeated failures. Only after thousands of failures could a pattern be found, and no matter how smart or talented Aloz was, it was impossible to find the only correct path among thousands of Frost Breaths at a glance. But Brando could. This was the advantage of having an information lead – or cheating.
He took the lead and cut into the only correct route, and then broke into the group of Frost Breaths, like poking a hornet's nest. Although Brando's speed was not too fast or too slow, it could be said to be just right, almost blocking the reaction speed and shooting distance of the Frost Breaths, so these Revitalizing Spells were almost helpless against the fly that passed between them – but have you ever seen an angry bee swarm? These Frost Breaths were the same at present. Although their reaction was very slow, once they moved, the huge number was extremely terrifying, especially when Brando deliberately disrupted their pace, causing them to jam together behind him.
Countless Revitalizing Spells were in a mess behind Brando, and Aloz, Shitah, and The Shire, who were also behind Brando, could only grit their teeth at this moment. Before the Frost Breaths moved, they could not find the path through them, let alone after they moved. In front of them, the Frost Breaths were like restless waves, and anyone who wanted to plunge headfirst into them would probably end up with nothing left of their bones.
Aloz walked forward for this distance, and could only stop and stomp her feet, "Brando, you damn cunning human!" The little female dragon waved her claws and roared at Brando's back from afar.
Brando pretended not to hear, he was bypassing the last pillar, and at the same time threw two stones into the two piles of Frost Breaths not far away. This action was no different from poking a hornet's nest, and the Revitalizing Spells over there immediately fell into a frenzy and chased in his direction. He looked back again, and the Revitalizing Spells in the middle and front of the hall had been left behind by him for a long time. Except for the sporadic attention attracted by Aloz and The Shire, most of them were led in his direction.
If he remembered correctly, there were two exits to the north of the Eternal Extinction Square, and the eastern exit led to the central maze. He intended to lead these Frost Breaths there first. But there was a problem here. First, there were two giant Revitalizing Spells at the exit. With his current speed, it was difficult to avoid the opponent's attack. Second, after these Revitalizing Spells were led over, how could he turn back? It was not that there was no way in the game, but he was a warrior, not a Nightingale known for her agility. In fact, this was the difficulty of the whole monster luring technique, but Brando knew that most of the techniques of that era had some flaws, for example, he himself had modified a lot of meaningless action paths. For himself, he was still very confident, after all, he was a warrior with a pure profession over level 100.
If his agility was not enough, he would rely on experience to make up for it.
Looking back again, the Frost Breaths clustered together were closer, but the huge number limited their forward speed. Brando estimated that the Revitalizing Spells on the left and right were a bigger threat to him. In fact, at this time, several cold rays were shot at him from both sides, but Brando gently leaped and let all the attacks fall behind him. He crossed the hall horizontally and came near the last pillar. He raised his head, and the eastern exit was close at hand. Near the exit in that direction, there were two giant Revitalizing Spells.
Those things looked like an enlarged version of the Frost Breaths, each at least sixty or seventy feet in diameter. Around their bodies, there were some dazzling blue spots, like orbiting satellites, but Brando knew that it was their attack method, so he deliberately avoided some. But in any case, in the end, he still had to pass through the middle of the two Frost Breaths. There was no shortcut, he could only rely on The County.
He immediately sank his consciousness into the world of his mind and ordered, "The County."
…
The long line of people in black robes stopped in front of a quaint door. The door was also made of the obsidian material that could be seen everywhere here, but it was covered with star-like textures. In the center of the door, the stars surrounded a star, and there was only a groove left in the position of the star. Everyone looked up at the giant door, which was 120 feet high. There were two skeletons by the door, each holding an ice-blue giant axe, their heads hanging down, and their helmets split in two.
"These are the Frost Giant Forbidden Guards?" Devard's voice hissed.
Arreck nodded.
"We're here?"
"Behind this is the Spiral Hall," Ko Hua replied coldly.
The Duke turned his head, and the black-robed Knight of All For One came into his sight. "Find a way to open this door, and the others, guard this hall."
He took a breath, and his heart finally stirred. The plan had finally reached the last step, and success was in sight. But Arreck suddenly narrowed his eyes and noticed that the Promenade of Meditation led to a dark corridor. He glanced over there and asked, "What direction is that?"
The hall was silent, and no one answered his question. He had to turn his head to Échis' eldest daughter. The latter looked at him silently.
"Eternal Extinction Square."
"Where is that?"
"I don't know." Ko Hua shook her head, as if she really didn't know.
"You don't know?"
"But I know that the Mayne brothers escaped in that direction. Why, you don't believe me?" Ko Hua looked at Arreck with her blood-red eyes, and her eyes were calm without the slightest fluctuation.
Alec furrowed his brows.
"Devard," he ordered, "Take some people there and have a look."
Ko Hua didn't seem to care about the other's order. She turned her head and quietly looked at the giant obsidian door in front of her.
