As Lucien cut off the flesh from his broken arm and drew the symbols wrapped in circles, Carina sensed that the circles represented the most abstract and profound secrets of the human body and the universe.
Carina stared at Lucien's magic circle and murmured to herself, "The three symbols seem to represent spirit, consciousness, and carrier respectively. They are on the same level, so they probably represent the soul. The five symbols on the same level are the traditional symbols of the school of Necromancy, which represent blood, bones, flesh, organs, and life force. The remaining four symbols — Sun, Silver Moon, Star, and Darkness — may represent the world outside the body. Is this a magic circle that combines Necromancy and Astrology? Also, according to the different positions and connections, it seems that the magic circle can have different functions. "
It was a rare opportunity for Carina to learn the advanced knowledge of magic circles.
After drawing the basic symbols of Miranda's 12 Circles of Necromancy magic circle around the energy pool, Lucien turned the rest of the flesh and bones into a semi-solidified viscous liquid. Then, he used the liquid as magic ink to draw a unique connection between the 12 circles with the dark symbol as the core.
After everything was done, Lucien smeared the thick blood and flesh on the connecting channels as a magic conductor. Finally, with the help of the flesh that Adam cut off, he remolded and changed the dark symbol, blood symbol, and consciousness symbol.
Soon, the whole magic circle of Miranda's Twelve Circles of Life was connected into a whole, and the light was suddenly restrained. Lucien's spiritual power was activated by Lucien's spiritual power, and the light quickly spread out along the fixed channel. Soon, the whole magic circle of Miranda's Twelve Circles of Life was connected into a whole.
The magic circle was no longer as messy and disjointed as before. All the symbols and connections seemed to form a unique open life form, which gave Carina a wonderful three-dimensional illusion.
Carina was fascinated by the art-like magic circle, and she was trying to figure out the meaning behind every symbol and line.
Suddenly, a voice came to her ears, "Carina, wait. When the energy pool starts to boil, use your spiritual power to activate the dark symbol."
"Ah?" Carina suddenly realized that Lucien was talking to her.
After Lucien repeated his words, she blushed and said, "Mr. Lucien, don't worry, I will seize the opportunity."
Lucien nodded. He had no choice but to trust her. After all, he had not learned Simulacrum yet. Lucien turned to the two Knight and said, "Alva, Bullard, you two are responsible for protecting Carina. Don't let anything disturb her."
"Yes, Mr. Lucien." Alva and Brad solemnly performed a Knight's salute.
Without further ado, Lucien looked at Adam and said, "Adam, let's go to the core of the Magic Tower."
"No problem!" Adam was a little tempted. He had been locked up by the old witch for dozens of years and had been an experimental subject for so long. He couldn't wait to fight back. Running away was the choice of a coward!
…
With a loud noise, the two iron golems fell to the ground, and their limbs were still moving uncontrollably.
Seeing this scene, Adam said with great emotion, "If I was alone, unless I had a lot of space to move around, it would be difficult for me to kill even one Iron Golem easily. But you destroyed them with just one spell. It's really unbelievable and amazing." Now I regret that I didn't learn magic back then. "
"It's the progress of my knowledge," Lucien answered briefly.
After that, Lucien walked past the iron golems and slightly shook his head while looking at the magic circles on their bodies. He thought to himself, Many things have their pros and cons. Without these magic circles, I could make a metal shell to block the magnetic field interference of the iron golems. But now, I can't block the attacks of the Great Knight and the bombardment of elemental magic. Unless my knowledge is further improved, I can't solve this dilemma.
Adam didn't quite understand the development of magic. He shrugged and said, "Buddy, just crack the protective magic circles. I'm worried that the old witch will suddenly come back."
The magic circle in the core of the magic tower was much more complicated than the one that protected the energy room. Luckily, it was still a common high-level magic circle, and Lucien had the reference of the senior arcanists. Therefore, it only took Lucien an hour and a half to crack it.
The one and a half hours was extremely torturous for the jailbreakers who were racing against time. Even Adam, a level-five Knight with a strong will, could not help but pace back and forth anxiously. Any slight movement would trigger a great reaction from him.
Judging from Adam's reaction, Lucien guessed that Carina, Alva, and Bullard in the energy room were on the verge of collapse. At this moment, even if the old witch didn't come back, the appearance of the flesh puppet Knight would be enough to make them do something extreme, or even run away.
Since the core of the magic tower was too far away from the energy room, Lucien could not contact Carina and the others. He had to trust his teammates and opened the black gate.
Seeing that the gate was opened, Adam let out a long sigh of relief, "This is the most torturous one and a half hours in my life. Luckily, the old witch didn't come back."
"Let's go. There's still danger waiting for us." Lucien carefully observed the stairs behind him and stepped on them resolutely.
Lucien didn't know if there were other powerful guards in the core of the magic tower. He didn't know if the control hub was protected by special magic circles. He didn't know if his attempt to control the control hub would succeed. He didn't know if the old witch, who would definitely be alarmed, would come back in time.
Adam's body gradually turned dark. He carefully followed Lucien up the silver stairs.
As soon as they stepped on the first few steps, the narrow stairs suddenly started to wriggle.
The silver walls and stairs quickly turned blood-red, with a hint of flesh color. Pure white and green acid were secreting out of them nonstop, corroding and burning Lucien's Absorbing Wall, which was sizzling and expanding.
The darkened Adam was drenched by the 'acid' and let out a painful cry. Fortunately, the damage was not too serious. He remained calm and did not attack blindly to avoid alarming the old witch. "Buddy, what's going on? Shouldn't I be immune to acid when I'm in the dark? "
"It's the old witch's special magic. It seems that it can corrode and digest souls. It's not just acid!" Lucien said in the Secondary Telepathic Bond as he ran at full speed, leaving a long shadow behind him. "This magic circle seems to be activated automatically. Even if the old witch came here herself, it would still be activated. However, she would definitely cast the corresponding magic protection in advance."
This was one of the effective defense measures that many sorcerers used to protect their important items and locations. It could kill those who thought they had cracked all the magic circles when they were unprepared.
Luckily, neither Lucien nor Adam was careless. It was because of their fear and wariness of the old witch.
The whole blood-red stairs were wriggling crazily, like the stomach of a human being digesting food. It was weird and bloody.
Lucien and Adam, on the other hand, were suffering from the acid. They climbed crazily and rushed to the exit at the top.
The exit was like an open mouth. Above and below it were thick red lips and white teeth. They were closing quickly, as if there was a time limit!
Lucien and Adam, who had been superimposed with Haste, were moving very fast. They were getting closer and closer to the exit. There was only a short flight of stairs left.
However, at this time, the light wall that was flowing with mysterious magic symbols was absorbed to the limit and broke into glittering light spots.
Seeing that the exit was closing faster and faster, Lucien did not waste the precious casting time to cast another Absorbing Wall. Instead, he grabbed Adam who was next to him and cast Short Distance Teleportation.
After a blink, Lucien and Adam appeared on the stairs seven or eight steps in front of the exit.
The biggest disadvantage of this spell was that the distance was not long enough!
As soon as they appeared, Lucien seemed to have seen it coming. Ignoring the burning pain on his body, he kicked his feet and shot out like an arrow. Passing through the two rows of teeth that were about to close, Lucien landed on the thick carpet.
Turning around, Lucien saw that Adam also jumped in. Finally, he was a bit relieved. He hurriedly stood up and looked around, completely ignoring the acid that was corroding his body and hurting his soul.
This seemed to be the old witch's study. On one side, there were several rows of bookshelves. On the other side, there were several stone sculptures of beautiful women. In the middle of the study, there was a luxuriously decorated desk. At the intersection of countless patterns, there was a crystal ball, which reflected the whole situation of the magic tower.
Behind the desk, there was a hunchbacked old witch in a red magic robe. Her skin was loose, wrinkled, and dry!
"Old witch?!" In the secondary telepathic bond, Lucien and Adam both blurted out.
When Lucien was about to cast a spell, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He stopped himself and said to Adam, "Don't attack. It's an illusion!"
Adam was still a bit shocked, "An illusion?"
"It's a sixth-circle spell. It can create an illusion that looks exactly like you and control her movements and speech, but it can't cast spells. It seems that the old witch put it here to alert you. As long as you attack her illusion, she will be able to sense it. " Lucien calmed his pounding heart and cast Heal on his wounds. It took him almost ten spells and the help of Adam's dark magic to heal his wounds.
Adam cursed in a low voice, "Although the old witch is a bit crazy, she's actually very insidious."
After recovering from his wounds and spiritual power, Lucien cast one defensive spell after another on himself. Then he walked to the crystal ball and tried to analyze the control hub.
After waiting for another hour, it was already midnight. Lucien finally finished the analysis. He put his right hand on the crystal ball and murmured a spell. Then he condensed his spiritual power into a needle and pierced it into the crystal ball.
Not only did he have to crack it, but he also had to erase the old witch's spiritual mark. Only in this way could he control the crystal ball!
Lucien's spiritual power followed the path that Lucien found. Like a fish swimming in water, Lucien's spiritual power reached the core of the crystal ball in no time and dashed toward the old witch's mark.
At this time, the crystal ball sensed the threat. Suddenly, it lit up like a bright sun.
Lines of magic patterns lit up one after another. The power of the entire magic tower was about to be concentrated on the crystal ball to kill the intruder.
In the energy room, Carina saw that the energy pool was boiling. She hurriedly activated the magic circle, Miranda's Twelve Circles of Life.
The twelve circles lit up at the same time. The darkness suddenly expanded and covered the entire energy room. Everything seemed to be frozen.
Carina, Alva, and Bullard immediately turned around and ran toward the gate of the energy room.
The flow of energy was cut off, and the protection of the spiritual mark in the crystal ball was stopped. It was facing Lucien's spiritual attack directly.
If the spiritual mark could not be erased, Lucien would be killed by the counterforce.
Ten seconds, only ten seconds!
Suddenly, the old witch behind the desk emitted the breath of life. Her angry voice came from afar, "You two disgusting flies! I'm going to turn you into mummies!"
The breath of life was getting stronger and stronger. Within one second, the old witch's illusion turned into her real self.
The sixth-circle spell, Position Swap!
After using this spell, if the distance between two preset living beings was within 500 meters, they would be able to switch positions within a second. However, the old witch had used this spell on her real body and her illusion. It seemed to be her unique spell!
Every sorcerer should not be underestimated, even if they were from the ancient era.
