Seeing this, Lucien, Charlie, and Sandra felt relieved, because it meant that the magic circle of Bertren was not activated, which meant that either the core part of the sorcerer's castle was destroyed when the summoning ritual failed, or the ones who came here through the summoning circle were indeed low-rank demons who were not smart enough to control the magic circle.
Either way, it was good news for Lucien and the rest of the sorcerers, because a fully activated magic tower or sorcerer's castle usually meant that the owner of the tower was at least one or two levels of power. If the owner of the castle was a senior-rank sorcerer, it was possible that the sorcerer's castle could resist the attack of a sixth-circle or seventh-circle sorcerer. Therefore, if the magic circle of this castle was fully activated, it would be as powerful as a fourth-circle or fifth-circle sorcerer. It would take Lucien, Xia Lot and Sandra a long time to break it.
However, Lucien did not rush into the castle right away. Instead, he stopped in the air outside the castle and adjusted his monocle with his left hand.
Lucien's left eye turned red. Through the partially opened window of the castle, Lucien could see the intense heat radiation coming from the dark castle. Most of the demons grew up in the sulfur fire, so they were immune to fire and poison. Their infrared radiation was much more powerful than that of ordinary human beings. Sometimes, even though there were thick walls blocking and absorbing the radiation, Lucien could still see some traces of red.
After combining the findings of Xia Lot and Sandra, Lucien had a rough map of the castle in his mind, which showed where the low-rank demons lived. Based on Susan's description, Lucien soon made a preliminary decision. He said to the other two calmly, "First, we need to destroy the summoning circle in the binding room, and then we can clean up the rest of the demons. Using this idea, we can enter the castle from the window or directly blow up the wall. It's not as convenient as going through the gate, the courtyard or the stairs to the binding room on the second floor. "
"I think so, too, Mr. Evans." Xia Lot nodded.
At the same time, Sandra's hand was filled with lightning bolts, and a silver lightning spear was formed in her hand. The lightning spear went straight through the gate and fell into a dark well in the corner of the yard. Bright lightning flashed and a light explosion sounded. This was the energy well that absorbed the power of the sun and the tidal power to maintain the normal operation of the magic circle.
She was planning to destroy one of the energy wells before the magic array was activated, so as to avoid being blocked by the magic array after entering the castle — even though most of the magic towers were designed to protect the outside rather than the inside.
Of course, there were many similar energy wells in the castle, and they were all gathered in the energy room on the third floor. Only by destroying all of them could they destroy most of the magic circles in the castle.
A faint layer of black light with countless magic runes appeared on the pitch-black energy well, trying its best to resist the explosion of the silver-white lightning.
When Sandra was about to attack, she suddenly, she saw Lucien reached out his right hand. A different red fireball appeared in his palm. The fireball was about the size of a person's head, and its color was not very bright.
As Lucien pushed with his right hand, the crimson fireball flew out and hit the energy well.
A deafening explosion that was completely out of Charlotte and Sandra's expectations was deafening.
Black smoke filled the air and rose into the air, forming a small mushroom cloud.
When the black smoke disappeared, the broken energy well appeared in front of Sandra. She opened her mouth but did not know what to say. Elementalism was indeed the most powerful spell in terms of pure explosion and destruction. No wonder Lucien was called a "destructive maniac"! But Mr. Evans's spell was too powerful, wasn't it? It was way more powerful than the third-circle Fireball spell, and it was almost as powerful as the fifth-circle Roaring Flame Explosion spell!
Was this the unique spell of the Will of Elements or Mr. Evans?
Sandra and Xia Lot, who were standing right next to Lucien, could tell that the spell was triggered by a magic item or by Lucien himself. However, Lucien Evans was only a third-circle sorcerer!
Therefore, after witnessing this spell, they no longer doubted Lucien's power. At least in terms of pure destructive power, Lucien's spell was definitely more powerful than theirs.
Looking at the effect of the explosion that he caused, Lucien spoke faster and faster, "Let's rush into the hall before the demons hear the noise and gather here."
Lucien's Big Fireball was mainly an explosion spell, and it was also supported by fire. More importantly, Lucien's Holm Crown ring, Element, could increase the power of the spell by thirty to forty percent. Therefore, it was almost as powerful as a fifth-circle spell!
According to Lucien's original spiritual power, he could cast more than twenty Big Fireballs in a row, but with the help of the Supreme Magic Skill, Spell Range, he could only cast seven or eight Big Fireballs. However, with the help of the ring, Lucien's spiritual power recovery speed was as fast as a fifth-circle sorcerer's. As long as he did not use the ring continuously without any rest, he would not run out of spiritual power in a thirty-minute fight.
Lucien had to admit that the ring, Element, was indeed a divine item for someone of Lucien's level.
Both Charlie and Sandra did not object to Lucien's decision. They landed in the yard of the castle together with Susan. At the same time, they cast Haste and Bear's Endurance on her, so that she could keep up with the three middle-rank sorcerers who had already received the magic buffs.
As soon as they landed, Xia Lot and Sandra stood in the front, with Lucien behind them. It was a standard three-person battle formation of the Congress of Magic. Susan followed Lucien, and Sandra followed behind.
Blood splashed on the ground of the yard from time to time. At this time, evil roars came from the castle. Obviously, the low-rank demons had noticed the intruders.
Quickly passing through the yard, Xia Lot directly blasted the half-closed iron gate open with a red fireball. Then, they rushed in with Sandra.
In the hall, incomplete human corpses were lying everywhere. Their faces were full of lingering fear. Broken limbs, hearts, and intestines could be seen everywhere. The strong smell of blood and the nightmarish scene made Susan almost vomit and her legs go soft.
After identifying the direction, they started to walk through the burning sofas, chairs, and wood. Stepping on the blood and flesh, they ran to the stairs.
In the light smoke, a black staircase full of patterns appeared in the corner. Susan was a bit excited, and her face showed a bit of joy. However, suddenly, a buzzing noise came. A group of bloated "wasps" that looked like they were carved out of obsidian flew to them from different aisles. They were as big as two or three human beings.
Different from ordinary wasps, their heads were in the shape of a human female with white pupils. Her face was full of pain. There were short antennae on her head, and her lower jaw was twisted into a straw. There was a pair of soft black insect wings on her back, and at the end of her body, there was a shining black spike.
Being stared at by these "wasps" with their horrifying female faces, Susan screamed as if she was in a nightmare.
However, Lucien, Xia Lot, and Sandra were not affected at all.
They were Hornet Demons. There were no yellow, red, or orange stripes on their bodies, which meant that they were only low-rank demons.
A thick and bright lightning bolt appeared out of nowhere and struck a Hornet Demon that was trying to control Sandra's mind and use its huge body to capture her. The tip of the Hornet Demon's stinger, which was filled with poison, was oozing out some black liquid.
Crack! The Hornet Demon fell to the ground like a piece of coal. Tiny lightning bolts bounced out of its body and hit other demons.
Most of the Hornet Demons that were hit by the lightning bolt were paralyzed. Only a few Hornet Demons that were further away were not affected by the lightning bolt.
At this time, a bone-chilling wind mixed with snowflakes howled near the stairs. Soon, fist-sized hailstones that were glittering with cold light condensed and fell, freezing many Tiger Bee Demons into ice and shattering them into pieces.
Fourth-circle spell, Ice Storm, from Xia Lot!
Since demons were immune to ordinary fire and poison, and they were not strong against acid and cold, Xia Lot and Sandra, who were experienced in fighting, did not choose to use fire spells.
Green arrows flew out in front of Lucien one after another. They quickly corroded and penetrated the Hornet Demon after hitting it.
Second-circle spell, Maskelyne's Acid Arrow.
By the time the ice storm subsided, the twenty or so Tiger Wasp Demons had all died.
Lucien couldn't help but feel a bit emotional. He could never have imagined that he could kill a low-rank demon so easily two years ago.
When Lucien was summoning the projection of a demon to merge with Baron Laurent's bloodline, even though the projection was only level one or two, Lucien was still very careful and tried to destroy it before the ritual was completed. However, now, killing more than 20 level-one Hornet Demons was as easy as drinking water.
After the Hornet Demons fell to the ground, their bodies quickly disappeared. Lucien was a bit disappointed. It seemed that the Hornet Demons were just projections, not their real bodies.
"Projections?" Lucien always had a strange feeling about the rules of summoning, but now was not the time to waste. Xia Lot led the way, and Sandra, Lucien, and Susan followed him up the stairs.
Soon, they arrived at the second floor. In front of them was a hall full of bookshelves, and there were many tables piled up with books, papers, and pens.
Some of them were overturned, and the papers and books were scattered all over the floor. Some of them were still the same, as if nothing had happened. There was even an apprentice sitting on a chair next to a wooden table. His chest and stomach were cut open, and his intestines and liver were all over the floor. Obviously, he was killed by a demon before he could react.
"This is the Apprentice Hall where we study," Susan said briefly. "Go through it and turn at the end of the corridor, and you'll find the Binding Room."
Although Lucien wanted to collect all the books here, he didn't hesitate. He stepped into the Apprentice Hall with Xia Lot and the others and walked around the space separated by bookshelves.
Because of the importance of knowledge, they didn't choose to destroy the bookshelves.
When they walked around a bookshelf, Lucien noticed that there was a mirror mounted on the wall next to it. In the mirror, he saw himself and the others: Xia Lot and Sandra in front, Susan in the middle, and himself in a double-breasted suit behind them.
As Lucien glanced at the mirror, the figure in the mirror also turned around. It was a normal "eye contact". The figure was also wearing a monocle on its left eye.
Lucien didn't find anything strange. When he was about to turn around, he suddenly saw a creepy smile on his face in the mirror. His white eyeball was protruding out, and there were many greenish-grey bumps on his face! (To be continued. If you like this work, you're welcome to come to qidian.com to vote.
