The sudden turn of events did not disrupt everyone's plan. Everyone gripped their weapons tightly and prepared their spells. Then, they quickly and orderly evacuated the abandoned house that was already in a rather strange state. As soon as they came out, Hao Ren found something strange.
A huge, translucent shield had appeared outside the abandoned house. Pale magic runes were floating on the surface of the energy shield. The fog around the town was gathering above the shield, spinning and compressing into a liquid that looked like it was being injected into the energy shield. This thing blocked their way from all directions. Lily immediately pulled out her Frostfire Claws and was about to dig a hole. But Nangong Sanba quickly stopped the rash girl. "Don't act rashly! Find out what this thing is first. "
"We are trapped," Hessiana said, her face grim. "This is a trap!"
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment. Then he began to rummage in his dimensional pocket to see if there were any suitable tools. But before he could take anything out, there was a sudden movement in the open space outside the shield. The thick fog rolled violently, and a whirlwind of black smoke rolled up in the fog. The black smoke quickly gathered a large amount of ash from all directions and gradually formed a human figure. It was Lord Heimerwin, who had disappeared in the house earlier.
However, the man now looked very different from before. He was standing straight, holding a strange short scepter in his hand. His face was cold and indifferent as he stood outside the transparent shield as if he was looking at a bunch of experimental subjects. "Do you know how long I've waited?"
Nangong Sanba raised his crossbow and aimed at the man. "Heimerwin, what do you mean?"
"I am just collecting the necessary power for my gate," Lord Heimerwin said expressionlessly as he pointed to the magic shield above them. "I advise you not to act rashly. This contains the magic I have accumulated for centuries. Its power is enough to trap an ancient god in a short time. You have no way out. The smartest thing to do is to be quiet and wait for it to drain you dry. If you don't resist, it won't be painful. "
As' Heimerwin's' voice trailed off, the magic barrier above them let out a slight buzzing sound. The pale runes cycled in a complicated way and began to extract all the power of life inside the barrier. Hao Ren noticed that the weeds under his feet were turning into ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even the big house behind them was creaking strangely. Nangong Sanba and Kassandra were the first to react. They felt dizzy, and the power in their bodies was draining away!
Hessiana finally came to her senses. She pointed her whip at 'Heimerwin'. "You are not the seigneur. You are Baptiste!"
The man outside the barrier nodded expressionlessly. "Is it that hard to guess? You're only reacting now, vampire girl. "
Hao Ren suddenly understood what had happened. Everyone had been fooled from the beginning!
The man in front of them was not the so-called ghost of the seigneur at all. He was the wizard Baptiste whom they were looking for. He had cast a necromancy spell on himself and transformed himself into a monster made of ashes. He had completely erased the magic erosion mark left on his body as a wizard. What he had said before was all a lie. His purpose from the beginning was to lure them to the abandoned house on the high ground.
He had set up a black magic array here that could extract the power of life!
Hao Ren thought of Baptiste's behavior when he was acting as' Heimerwin. 'The cowardly posture and the occasional hysterical and hysterical reaction seemed to be a cover-up to divert their attention. He made himself look like an idiot nobleman so that no one would care too much about what he said and ask him too many questions!
"I've been waiting for a long time!" Baptiste seemed to have determined that the people inside the barrier could not resist. He waited for the magic array to extract enough magic power as he spoke to himself. "I've left a lot of secret clues, waiting for unlucky people like you. Ah … How rare it is to find experimental materials with magic power. The power I can extract from a hundred ordinary people is not even as much as that of a sorcerer. But today, there's so much of it! I've been preparing for so long! Now I'm finally getting the last bit of magic power I need … I can finally go to the depths of Inferno! "
Baptiste seemed to be immersed in some kind of crazy imagination. Living alone like a ghost in this godforsaken place for hundreds of years had completely turned him into a lunatic. As he talked to himself, he unconsciously waved the weird wand in his hand. His expression was constantly changing between stupidity and madness. As he spoke, Hao Ren saw something emerging from the thick fog a few meters away.
Wisps of mist flowed in the air as if they were real. Under the guidance of magic power, they outlined the outline of a huge vortex. Layers of red light appeared out of thin air in the mist, gradually forming a huge spherical structure. It was like a huge eyeball with a radius of several meters embedded in the ground. Inside the ball of light and fog, a distorted landscape of a different world loomed.
The Inferno Gate — Baptiste had found the connection between Inferno and Earth. Everything was as precise as he had calculated. As the magic gathered, the Inferno Gate appeared in the focus of the magic vortex.
It seemed like a long time, but it all happened in a very short period of time. Hessiana immediately attacked the magic barrier when she noticed that the situation was not good. She raised the long whip high, and the long whip was surrounded by icy wind and hissing electric currents. When the long whip lashed down, there was a thunderous explosion, and the movement of the whip against the barrier was like a thousand catties. However, this attack did not have any effect. Turcan and Kassandra also launched a series of attacks on the magic barrier. But after a series of violent explosions and tremors, the barrier did not budge.
Baptiste's wand flashed a few times when the barrier was attacked. He glanced at Hessiana indifferently. "Meaningless struggle. It will only waste your strength."
"Do you know who you are scheming against? If I tell you my name, you'll be scared to death! " Hessiana pointed at Baptiste and cursed. She then stomped her feet and looked at Hao Ren. "Aren't you very powerful? Hurry up and think of something! "
Hao Ren reached into his Dimensional Pocket for a bomb. But before he could take it out, he saw Lily suddenly ran to the barrier.
The werehusky first scratched the barrier with her claws to make sure it was solid. Then she did something that no one would have expected.
She threw herself on the ground and quickly dug a hole.
Everyone knew that the maiden was good at digging holes. Even if she was empty-handed, she could dig a hole and bury herself in it in the blink of an eye, let alone with her claws. Dirt and stones flew everywhere, and the sand behind her sprayed like a fountain. In just a few seconds, she had dug a hole under the magic barrier that she could crawl out of.
Yes, she went out just like that.
At this time, Baptiste was still posing with his wand. It was not that he did not see Lily's movement, but even if he had seen it, he could not think of a way to react. That was how most people would react when they first met a husky. The sorcerer, who was full of evil tricks, remained in a state of off-line reflexes as he watched Lily emerge from the hole. He had no idea how to stop her because he was unprepared for such a situation.
Lily walked up to Baptiste and snatched his wand. "You fool, there is nothing under your magic barrier."
Baptiste was dumbfounded. "I have never seen anyone who can dig a hole before."
Lily curled her lips and snapped the wand in her hand. The magic barrier immediately shook and dimmed. Hessiana strode toward Baptiste in anger, ready to teach him a lesson. But at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Baptiste suddenly screamed and lunged at the gate of Inferno not far away.
