Perhaps because of Maskelyne's cover, nobody came to disturb Lucien and Rhein's recovery, allowing them to pass the most difficult moment smoothly.
"Although the Mummy's Gloves cannot be used, the Shield of Truth is enough. Sometimes, the Shield of Truth's defense is even better." Lucien took out the Shield of Truth from his alchemy cabin and stuffed it into the Mummy's Gloves.
In terms of pure physical defense, the Mummy's Gloves were stronger, but the Shield of Truth was based on the defense of time and space, and it was less likely to be broken by most attacks. Also, it would not lower one's mind like the Mummy's Gloves, which was definitely not a good feeling for an arcanist who was used to living with his head.
Rhein resumed the appearance of a human being. Fixing his collar and his long silver hair, he was ready for a party. "Except for the wounds caused by the monsters in the first battle, I've mostly recovered. Even if I run into Ivan, I'm confident that I can retreat safely."
"Then, let's get out of here as soon as possible. It might be Arvin who comes back." Lucien checked the Robe of Grand Arcanists, the Moon Timer, and the Congus Ring, making sure that they were in good condition.
Rhein nodded his head. "Although I'm not scared of fighting Arvin right now, the seraphs must have a deep understanding of the Realm of Gates. Once I'm stalled, I may be attacked by the six of them together. Also, Mountain Paradise is nearby. The cost of summoning their projections will be greatly reduced. Almost everybody will be half a level stronger."
"I didn't know that Mountain Paradise was inside the Realm of Gates …" Lucien opened the black gate and stepped out after sensing the sluggish flow of time.
Rhein followed him. "Essentially speaking, Mountain Paradise is the beautiful hope of most human beings for the afterlife. It's sort of a custom of death. Hehe. The most sacred and vigorous life and light are born in the deepest and heaviest death and darkness …"
"But I wonder if Mountain Paradise was naturally formed, or if it has something to do with Thanos and Mr. Maskelyne's experiments …" Lucien voiced his speculation. In the meantime, his Host Star of Destiny began to revolve in his cognitive world. The black swirl that seemed to be able to swallow all the light moved to the front, absorbing, deflecting, and disrupting all the traces.
Rhein seemed to have sensed something. He walked forward quickly and stood next to Lucien. He looked at him and said, "I feel that your trace of fate has become blurred and disordered …"
"Mr. Maskelyne is one of the most famous prophets in the school of astrology, and now that he has been enhanced by the God of Truth and Mountain Paradise, we must be cautious. or we might see Arvin waiting for us after we open the black gate." Lucien smiled, the Mysteriousness of Destiny. "Lucien smiled smiled smiled smiled smiled, without mentioning the specific's of the Mysterians.
Passing, Lucien the Mirror of Destiny, the Sora's, the '''s Magic's's a '' ''s's''s's' '''s the Reis?
… …
Having gotten rid of the suppression of the headless pope, Douglas and Fernando returned to the entrance according to the change of coordinates, leaving a lot of marks for Lucien on their way.
After opening a black gate, Douglas suddenly looked around in confusion. "I sense the remnants of a familiar air."
"It's not Lucien …" Fernando identified carefully and suddenly opened his mouth. "It's Mecantron, the Angel King!"
"Why is he here?" Douglas found it hard to believe. "Is it possible that he's the monster's disguise?"
He activated the Dim Celestial Globe and divined the owner of the air. This time, he added the monster as a variable.
After a while, Douglas smiled in self-mockery. "It's eighty percent possible that it's the Angel King, and twenty percent possible that it's the monster in disguise. Is it any different from astrology? I can make the same conclusion normally. "
He knew that it was because the monster's level was too high, which seriously interfered with the prophecy. Also, he did not have enough time to prepare.
Looking at the black gate where the air disappeared, Fernando asked, "Should we try to track it?"
After fighting with the monster twice, he was more confident that he could escape from the dangerous situation, and he was still worried about his student, Lucien.
"Are you not worried that we will see Mountain Paradise from here? Or that we will run into the God of Truth? " Douglas joked, "The Angel King must've just passed through this hall. We can try to track it, but we can't waste too much time. If we don't find anything in ten minutes, we must return. Chances are that Lucien is waiting for us at the entrance."
"Okay." Fernando knew that he was only looking for his student Lucien under the pretext of tracking the Angel King.
… …
"We're not far away from Thanos' laboratory now, and we haven't run into any enemies on our way. It's not like us who have been unlucky since we came in." Rhein was more and more familiar with the changing coordinates. He made fun of himself and Lucien.
Recalling 'Cao Cao's past', Lucien chuckled. "Mr. Rhein, we shouldn't jump to conclusions too early, or we might run into enemies after we open the black gate."
Rhein's lips twitched. "I'm not that unlucky, am I?"
While talking, he pushed open the black gate.
Suddenly, his expression changed, and his entire body disintegrated, transforming into countless small bats that fluttered in the air.
A long, black scythe crossed the distance of time and space with a mysterious air and hit where he was just now. Also, pale flames were popping up where he was standing, melting the gray tiles into weird, transparent liquids.
"We've indeed run into enemies …" Lucien did not know how to describe his and Rhein's jinx. Two legendary spectres were floating in the gray hall. One of them was wearing a black hood and a black cloak. His face was covered in fluctuating black air, and only his red, fiery eyes were clearly visible. The other was a rotten dragon dozens of meters long that was spurting out gray flames. "The Servant of Death and the Dragon Lich …"
The former was a level-three legendary spectres and a reaper of life. He was best at melee combat, but he was supported by a lot of spells. The latter was a standard spellcaster, but he was not bad at melee combat either.
Without any hesitation, Lucien took out a delicate silver pocket watch in his right hand. The thin chain was connected to the button on his clothes. Crack.
Before the Servant of Death and the Dragon Lich cast their spells, Lucien pressed the button softly with his thumb.
There was a ghastly white within the gray. The bats flying in the hall seemed to be bound by invisible shackles. The Servant of Death swung its giant scythe again, moving forward one block at a time as if it was in slow motion. The dracolich and the grayish-white flames by its mouth were frozen where they were.
Mage's Disjunction! Mage's Disjunction! Lucien did not bother the Dragon Lich. With the storage of himself and the Moon Timer in advance, he instantly cast Mage's Disjunction, the ninth-circle spell, and cooperated with 'Hand of Uncertainties'. Then, he performed 'Evans's Maze of Questions', which was attached with magic delay and Hand of Uncertainties!
After everything was done, Lucien turned into a legendary Knight and slashed at the Servant of Death with the Sword of Truth!
At this moment, he could not think about keeping his trump cards. He had to defeat the enemy and finish the battle as quickly as possible!
The pale solidification quickly dispersed. The dense swarm of bats was the first to recover. They flew to the Dragon Lich and bit its body and soul from all directions.
Rhein seemed to have guessed that Lucien would deal with the Servant of Death specifically. He helped him block the Dragon Lich very tacitly.
The weird giant scythe hit Lucien and cut his illusionary shadow into pieces. When the effect of Advanced Time Stop was about to end, Lucien had already changed his position with the Shield of Truth.
Darkness flowed on the black cloak of the Servant of Death, making Lucien's Disjunction ineffective. Suddenly, darkness burst out, and fireworks bloomed. One of the many consecutive 'Hand of Uncertainties' finally worked. The defense of the Servant of Death was completely destroyed! Crack!
Crack! Crack! Crack! Countless items on the Servant of Death were broken, which made Lucien's heart ache. He also regretted that he did not learn 'Luxury Cracking', or it wouldn't have been left with a black cloak. Except for the giant scythe, which was a legendary item, it would've been 'stripped' clean!
Then, silver grey light flashed, and illusionary hideous cracks appeared on the black cloak, tearing apart the last line of defense.
Because the cloak blocked the attack for a moment, when the Sword of Truth was about to hit the Servant of Death, the Servant of Death's body suddenly turned into a cluster of smoke and fled, dodging the fatal attack.
"Ahhh!" The Servant of Death screamed in the most heartache. The pale smoke gathered again, and it slashed down with the giant scythe. The air of mysteriousness was even more intense. Poof!
When the giant scythe hit Lucien's Shield of Truth, only a dull sound was heard.
Lucien, who seemed to be in a different world, suddenly had the feeling that a chilly breeze was blowing at him. It passed through the Robe of Grand Arcanists and his physical defense and blew at his soul directly, making him shiver uncontrollably.
"According to Adol's files, the giant scythe of the Servant of Death is a pure attack on the soul and very difficult to defend. Had it not been for the Shield of Truth, I probably would've been wounded." Lucien thought to himself.
The giant scythe of 'Blade of Souls' did not succeed. The Servant of Death turned into pale fire again and surrounded Lucien, burning the waves of nothingness. It also dispersed now and then to avoid the attacks of the Sword of Truth.
The buffer time of the Moon Timer was over. Lucien put the Sword of Truth back and held the ticking pocket watch in his right hand again.
At this moment, the Servant of Death suddenly turned into smoke and dispersed, rushing to the place where Rhein and the Dragon Lich were fighting. It knocked open the black gate and left in a hurry.
"It ran away?" Before Lucien had the time to press the button of 'Advanced Time Stop', he discovered that the Servant of Death was gone. As a level-three legendary expert, it ran away so decisively!
Rhein landed on the ground and chuckled. "'Advanced Time Stop' and 'Sword of Truth'. What a shameless way to fight, especially when your 'Advanced Time Stop' was launched by the 'Moon Timer', a level-two legendary exclusive item. Its power was close to level-three. The Servant of Death was greatly affected. Did it wait to be completely killed instead of running away?"
He thought that the Servant of Death was stripped naked because Lucien used a certain piece of equipment that carried Luxury Cracking. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so scared of the Sword of Truth's attack. It could've resisted the attack with its own defense.
"I'm very satisfied that I've scared away a level-three legendary." Lucien put back the Sword of Truth with a smile. It would be best not to waste the ability of the Moon Timer. Who knew what dangers there might be in the laboratory?
Rhein looked around the grey hall. "When I found them, they seemed to be examining something."
He examined the environment with his abilities. Lucien canceled his transformation and assisted him with magic.
"Sardes' scent, the traces of the mysterious piece …" Rhein suddenly stopped.
