Kieran didn't panic at all when he saw the Sanctuary Force glowing on the wall and the charging figure. His finger pulled the trigger of his [Python-W2] again.
Bang!
With the support of Transcendence [Light Firearm Firearm], the bullet from the revolver flew past the charging figure at a tricky angle and landed in the room behind the figure.
Chang!
Another broadsword blocked the bullet.
Another figure with the same armor and Sanctuary Force appeared in Kieran's sight.
At the same time, the faintly discernible Templar Energy on the walls gradually became denser.
"As expected, Smulder didn't just prepare a single defensive measure!"
Looking at the two armored figures that occupied the whole tunnel, Kieran didn't let his guard down.
His probing wasn't over yet.
Enduring the stinging pain again, Kieran used his eyes to determine the distance between him and the two enemies. When they were less than 5 meters away from each other, he made his move.
He dashed forward like a monkey, dodging the slash of the first enemy with a single leap.
Then, he kicked the air with his right foot.
[Modii Boots] shone brightly.
Kieran jumped up again, not only dodging the second enemy's slash, but there were no more obstacles in front of him.
Bang Bang Bang!
Kieran pulled the trigger of his [Python-W2] without a second thought.
Three bullets were fired into the room in a row.
This time, no more guardians came out.
The bullets hit their target precisely, the diamond that was glowing with Sanctuary Force.
However, the surprising thing was, the diamond didn't budge at all.
It was as if the diamond had merged with the exquisite, mystical runes engraved on it, embedding itself into the ground.
Kieran didn't have much time to figure out why the diamond would react like that. He could already feel the air-breaking sound of the sword behind him.
"Schmidt!"
After a loud shout, Kieran turned his body around and slashed out with [Arrogant Word].
Fuuu!
The sword wind was swift and fierce, as if a level ten gale had risen in the passageway.
The blade of the sword was extremely sharp, and with the support of great power, it could cut through gold and jade.
As a matter of fact, that was the case.
Creak!
Amidst the screeching sound of metal twisting, the longsword in the hands of the guardian chasing behind him was abruptly cut off by Kieran.
Not only the broadsword, but also the Protector himself.
A crack appeared from the top of the metal armor, revealing the true appearance of the Guardian.
There were springs, gears, and a diamond-shaped crystal the length of an index finger engraved with many mystical runes.
Pa, pa la.
Arcs of electricity rapidly emerged from the diamond-shaped crystal.
The Guardian twisted its body as the electric arc appeared.
However, it was very incongruous.
"Metal puppets?!"
Kieran looked at the guardian before him in astonishment.
He did not expect Smulder to use a metal puppet to protect the gemstone.
After all, according to what he had learned from the books, most of the Metal Puppets served as bodyguards in the laboratories of alchemy masters.
Of course, the Metal Puppets were long gone from the alchemy laboratories in the modern era.
Even if there were, they would be treated as treasures by some alchemists.
It was impossible for him to be as wasteful as Smulder was.
"So this is the legacy and foundation?"
Kieran muttered to himself as he took a step back.
Wuuu!
The broadsword was whistling fiercely, grazing the tip of Kieran's nose as it was swung down.
Before the broadsword truly touched Kieran, the Sanctuary Force that was imbued on the blade already made Kieran feel a burning pain.
After one of the Metal Puppets was destroyed, the rest of the Metal Puppets entered a special battle mode.
The Sanctuary Force that was glimmering on the armor was now glowing brightly. Although the milky white glow wasn't as dangerous as the dazzling Sanctuary Force that appeared on the wall when Kieran first entered the tunnel, it was still not to be underestimated. It forced Kieran to take another step back uncontrollably.
However, what made Kieran anxious was that the Sanctuary Force on the wall was getting denser and denser.
It seemed like it would eventually reach the deadliest level since he first entered the tunnel.
When that happened, he would really be a fish on the chopping block.
"No!
I can't drag this any longer!
I need to end this as soon as possible! "
Kieran grabbed [Arrogant Word] tightly and threw himself at the Metal Puppets.
However, right at that moment, the Metal Puppets and the wall that were emanating the Sanctuary Force suddenly dimmed down.
The Sanctuary Force that was shining brightly a moment ago was like a candle flickering in the wind, about to be extinguished at any moment.
The whole tunnel was lit up by torches again.
"It's done!"
The sudden scene reminded Kieran of Schmidt who had just entered the room.
However, before Kieran could make any further moves, a voice rang out.
Dong Dong Dong!
The [Fusion Heart] in Kieran's chest started to beat rapidly.
The wicked, sinful aura and the rampant sulphuric aura that had been suppressed for a long time were activated at the same time.
Fuuu!
A formless energy wave started to blow in all directions with Kieran as the center.
The Creature of Desire, which was formed from the intertwining fingers, appeared beside Kieran in the form of a phantom. Its evil eyes that were filled with sin were like a hungry beast.
As the light intertwined, a strange mouth with sharp teeth appeared above the Metal Puppet's head.
Then …
The mouth closed up.
After a series of metal twisting and tearing noises, the Metal Puppet completely disappeared from Kieran's sight.
However, it wasn't the end.
After devouring the Metal Puppet, the Creature of Desire seemed to have a bigger appetite. More mouths appeared out of thin air and started to chew on the walls.
To be more precise, it was eating the Sanctuary Force!
Kieran was connected to the Creature of Desire through his mind, so he could clearly feel the unusual satisfaction from the Creature of Desire.
"This!"
Kieran was stunned.
Then, he thought of something.
However, before Kieran could sort out his thoughts, an even more intense heartbeat filled his ears.
Dong!
Dong Dong!
Dong Dong Dong!
It sounded like thunder.
But it sounded more like war drums.
Illusions started to appear before Kieran's eyes.
He saw pieces of dark red, distorted, and irregular mirrors gathering around him before shattering one after another.
Sin.
Chaos.
Destruction.
Everything around him started to spread out.
Ugly faces were staring at him with cruel gazes.
A moment later, the gazes turned into flattery.
Kieran reached out his hand, formed by magma, and easily crushed the disgusting things with malicious intentions.
Magma?
Kieran lowered his head in a daze.
He saw a ferocious and powerful magma body. With a thought in his mind, a pair of flaming wings opened up.
The wings covered the sky.
Darkness covered the land.
White.
A dash of white was even more eye-catching in the darkness.
Kieran saw the dash of white.
He felt like he saw the person that haunted him in his dreams.
He raised his hand, wanting to touch this person, but the magma's palm made him hesitate.
The person walked further away.
In the end, the person disappeared.
He blamed himself.
He was angry.
He …
Pain!
He roared at the sky.
Roar!!!
At that moment, the sky changed color.
