As the black gate slowly opened, Lucien clenched the Shield of Truth even tighter. If it was the monster that was coming, then according to his and Rhein's estimation, it was probably at the peak of legendary.
The red eyes, the short figure, the long magic robe, the handsome but old face … All the familiar things made Lucien blurt out, "Mr. Fernando."
Then, he saw the tall old man behind his teacher, Douglas, who was kind and majestic. "Mr. President."
Fernando did not answer immediately. Instead, he was silent for more than ten seconds, as if he were secretly confirming Lucien's identity. Then, he seemed to be relieved. "It's not dangerous here, is it?"
… …
Fernando pushed the black gate open with magic. Suddenly, he sensed two air streams inside, so he was even more alert. The Robe of Domination, Storm's Eye, and Abrupt Rotation were all ready.
Then, he heard Lucien's voice, "Mr. President."
Fernando's worries were greatly relieved, but he was not careless. He secretly confirmed Lucien's identity with all kinds of magic means, and Douglas was also checking the uniqueness of the Secretive with astrology.
… …
Although Lucien's air and spiritual waves told him that it was indeed his teacher and Mr. President in front of him, he dared not to be careless at all. Holding the Shield of Truth, he said, "Mr. President, Mr. President, there's a monster here that can really turn into anyone. I just met it when it turned into Mr. Rhein. Even the senses of the Origin of Blood were simulated by it."
Fernando's eyes widened. "Are you saying that we're a monster in disguise? It can even disguise the projection of a demiplane? "
A black storm rose around him. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. The Thunder Hell directly arrived.
Seeing the familiar roars and storms, Lucien's heart was warm. He was more or less convinced that it was his teacher.
Douglas thought for a while and said, "Lucien, since you're with Silver-Eye Count, it means that you have other ways to confirm each other's identity. Do we need to cooperate with you?"
"We used the Primogenitor's aura to confirm it. I don't think it's possible for you to do that." Rhein replied for Lucien with a smile. "But it's very simple. This place is not far away from the entrance. We don't need to go with you. Also, since you are both top legends, it's not impossible for you to return. Everything will be clear when you get out."
In the dangerous place known as the Realm of Gates, where monsters could pretend to be anybody, people were always suspicious. Lucien had not let go of his wariness toward Rhein yet. Therefore, he agreed wholeheartedly to his proposal.
Fernando bellowed, "Nonsense! Since there is such a terrifying monster, will it quietly watch you leave? Don't tell me you can't confirm my identity! "
Although he was roaring, he was quite rational. He did not underestimate the monster and made way for it.
"In that case, you can go to the entrance first. We'll follow you in case the monster hunts you." Douglas was not surprised by Rhein's proposal. He nodded his head in agreement.
Therefore, the two top legendary sorcerers stood in two corners of the gray hall, leaving the black gate open. Lucien and Rhein, on the other hand, walked to the gate near the entrance very cautiously. They were not more or less relaxed until they were about to enter the gate.
At this moment, Douglas and Fernando left and followed the two of them.
It was not a problem, but Lucien was secretly anxious. His transformation was about to run out, and it would take a few seconds for his blood to stabilize before he could perform it again. It was a very dangerous few seconds, and he could not afford any carelessness in the environment right now.
Should he ask his teacher to follow him across the hall? But in such a case, if they were stopped by the monster that turned into a top legend, wouldn't he lose his greatest helper?
I have to find a way to confirm their identities … Lucien thought quickly.
Seeing that Rhein was about to open the black gate, Fernando and Douglas, fearing that they would run into a top legend monster, moved closer and closer.
At this moment, they suddenly heard Lucien say, "Mr. President, Mr. Rhein, wait a moment."
"What's the matter?" Fernando seemed to be suppressing his anger that he was not believed in.
Rhein, on the other hand, looked at Lucien weirdly, not knowing what he was going to say.
Lucien asked solemnly, "Mr. President, Mr. Rhein, how do you solve the model of an atom with two electrons with matrix mechanics?"
"Well …" Fernando and Douglas were both stunned.
… …
"The scent, the spiritual waves, and the blood characteristics are the same …"
"The prophecy deviates from his position, but it's possible that he's not the Secretive, because similar effects can be created in other ways …"
In the telepathic bond, Fernando and Douglas communicated closely. They had to be careful. After their multiple adventures, they respected all the dangerous places and would not blindly trust their own magic. Also, they were in the deepest part of the World of Souls, where many legendary sorcerers had gone missing!
"It should be Lucien, but even if it is the real Lucien, we can't be careless. Too many sorcerers have been corrupted by devils and deviated from their nature." Fernando was not agitated at all. He had almost been killed several times in his adventures in the past because of his personality. He was already able to control himself effectively.
Holding the Shield of Truth, Lucien said delightedly and hurriedly, "Mr. President, Mr. Rhein, there's a terrifying monster that's at the peak of legendary here. If I hadn't run into Mr. Rhein, who summoned the power of the Silver Moon Alterna at the critical moment to help me beat the monster back, I'm afraid that I would've been killed."
"Let's get out of here now!"
"Where's the Silver Eye Count?" Douglas looked around in confusion.
Fernando, on the other hand, slightly frowned. "Only a monster at the peak of legendary?"
The word "just" fully demonstrated his "domineering".
"I don't know. I lost him after that. Also, this is the Realm of Gates. It's impossible to find him without knowing his coordinates." Lucien said in frustration, "Also, the monster may be even more terrifying than what we saw. I've found some of Mr. Maskelyne's belongings and notes. They are full of desperation and hysteria."
"Notes? Belongings? Let me take a look, "said Douglas solemnly.
Lucien took out the gray notes and the dark green belongings. Putting away the Shield of Truth, he was about to give them to Fernando.
"Wait a moment." Douglas suddenly stopped him. "Send them to me with magic. Don't approach them."
"Mr. President? What do you mean? "Lucien pretended to be confused.
Douglas said kindly, "This is the deepest part of the World of Souls. Anything can happen here. So, we'd better be careful. Well, this place is not far away from the entrance. Let's go out first. We'll follow."
Lucien nodded his head. "That's a very correct approach."
… …
After a brief shock, Douglas was amused. "Isn't there an answer to the question?"
"So, I'd like to hear your opinion. Normal arcana communication, a new direction of arcana communication." Lucien smiled.
Memories could be obtained through special means, and Lucien's blood power and spiritual power could be disguised. However, the ability to use the knowledge in the memories and the way of thinking derived from the sublimation of memories was the most special thing about every human being. Just like the soul, monsters were hard to imitate. However, in a new field of arcana that had not yet been researched, the two aspects would be fully reflected.
If it were on Earth, Lucien wouldn't be so sure. However, there were souls here, and the way of thinking was closely related to the soul. It was the most fundamental thing. If monsters could imitate even that, Lucien did not dare to imagine the foundation of every person's existence. Who am I? Who am I?
"Now is the time to discuss arcana? Are you out of your mind? "Fernando burst into fury.
Lucien said without flinching, "Monsters can only obtain memories, but they cannot use the knowledge in memories to solve new arcana problems. This is the best way to distinguish them."
Fernando suddenly laughed. "How troublesome. Isn't it better to be tricked to death by me? Why do you have to make me do it? "
Hardly had he concluded his sentence when he was broken like a bubble and melted into Douglas' body. A mysterious smile popped up on his face.
"Advanced Time Stop!"
The greyness was frozen, and the brightness appeared. Everything around stopped. The other time and space behind the Shield of Truth seemed to be affected too and slowed down, making it impossible for Lucien to wield the Sword of Truth. On the other hand, even the Moon Timer could not weaken the power of time and space as he expected. Lucien could only look at "Douglas" from a weird perspective while his mind was still normal.
Was it the Advanced Time Stop that a top legend performed?
Even the Moon Timer and the Shield of Truth were affected so intensely!
"Eternal Blaze!"
In the effect of Time Stop, "Douglas" pressed his hands and cast a spell.
If he were killed by "Advanced Time Stop" and "Eternal Blaze", he would not be able to rest in peace!
At this moment, Lucien did not know whether or not he would be resurrected in the outside world after he died in the mysterious Realm of Gates, or if he would be locked there forever like a ghost.
… …
Lucien nodded his head. "That's a very correct approach."
While talking, he was about to walk past Douglas and Fernando.
Right then, the smile on his face became mysterious, and he pointed his right hand. "Light of Judgment!"
A magnificent and solemn light seemed to have fallen from Mountain Paradise, with the power to destroy all traces.
"Abrupt Reverse!" Fernando performed the spell that he had been preparing.
A mirror that was full of beautiful and mysterious patterns appeared, as if it were connected to another world.
After hitting the mirror, the Light of Judgment was suddenly reversed and hit "Lucien", but it only shattered an illusion.
"Abrupt Reverse", which could reflect the damage of a single spell five times, seemed to have reached the limit of its endurance. It was completely broken after only one time.
In midair, a person slowly appeared. He had white hair and a gentle face, wearing a sacred crown and holding a platinum staff.
"Benedict III!" Douglas couldn't have looked more solemn.
