When Lando slowly came back to his senses from the sluggishness, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
He suddenly raised his head and saw the island of death turning into a phantom and dissipating. When he turned his head, the giant white skeleton also disappeared into the pure white cracks.
"Huh!~"
He exhaled a long breath. Although he didn't understand why Osguto was deliberately hit by him, Lando's shattered outlook on life was finally saved.
No matter how confident he is, he still doesn't think he can kill the Grand Arcanist under normal circumstances, even if he uses all his methods.
After coming back to his senses, Lando noticed that there was a black light group left on the ground where Osguto disappeared. There was a strange symbol in the light group that was shining with inexplicable brilliance. After hesitating, Lando
Instead of touching it directly with his hands, he condensed a box of elements, put it in it, and then applied layers of seals.
"Wow!~"
Number 13 was dismantled and turned into countless vines. Under the command of Lando's thoughts, the entire battlefield was destroyed again. After cleaning up all possible traces, Lando walked away towards the territory of Alturas.
Go to the center.
This time is when the territory of Alturas is leaderless, and it is the most suitable time for Lando to go to fight the autumn wind. If he waits for the surrounding lords to react later, he will probably be in trouble.
…………
There are many ways for devils to be born, but after hell emerged from the abyss, in order to strengthen the living power of hell, the hell masters created a new way for devils to be born, imitating the model of the abyss.
The Sea of Hell is one of the creations of the masters. It runs through the entire nine levels of hell and is extremely vast.
All dead souls in the entire hell world community will be attracted to the Hell Sea and plunge into it uncontrollably.
After the soul falls into it, after being gested, it will form a kind of bottom-level devil creature called devil bug and climb up the coast. When they absorb a certain amount of nutrients, they will evolve into the lower-level form of the devil, and thus suffer the consequences of the hell sea.
Drive into the real hell!
At this time, in a certain layer of the core world of the Nine Hells, on the coast of the Hell Sea, energetic devil bugs were freely hunting the weaker ones.
At this moment, a marking circle deep underground shattered, and a devil insect sleeping in it woke up.
It wriggled its body and crawled out of the ground little by little. It seemed a little unaccustomed to its new body and was a little stiff when moving. The devil bugs next to it were confused by this similar creature that suddenly emerged from the ground, but this did not stop them from being greedy.
trying to incorporate it into the category of food.
At this moment, a strange symbol suddenly flashed on the forehead of the devil bug that emerged from the ground. All the devil bugs in close range died suddenly in an instant, and turned into pure life energy and injected it into the former's body.
The devil bugs felt this aura and all instinctively fell to the ground, not daring to move.
Catalyzed by the pure life energy, the devil bug turned into a small blood cocoon. The blood cocoon quickly grew in size. In a moment, a little devil about 1.5 meters broke out of the cocoon. Compared with other little devils,
, not only is his body more robust and well-proportioned, but he is also closer to a human form. Judging from his face, he looks like Osguto.
At this time, Osguto's face was a little complicated. Although he had made a decision, it was still difficult to accept that he had truly transformed into a devil.
Just when he was dazed, a soft sound in his mind interrupted his thoughts.
Gently grabbing into the void, a layer of communication light curtain appeared in front of me, and a dark shadow appeared on the light screen.
"Haha, Osguto, I didn't expect you to be here today. I should really go and celebrate. You were defeated by that kid Lando. It really made me laugh to death! Hahahaha!" As soon as he saw Osguto from the opposite side.
Looking like this, he burst out laughing and taunting.
Osguto's face was solemn. He had adjusted his mentality and said calmly: "Disriel, you don't need to judge what I do, and you don't have the qualifications."
The person talking to Osguto was Disriel, who had escaped from the god's laboratory!
Disrael continued to ask in a mocking voice: "You just took advantage of me when I was weak. Do you really think of yourself as a person? I will not lose to a brat like you, a loser!"
"Loose?" Osguto was in a daze for a moment and said calmly: "That is just a choice. If we can easily solve him and make him disqualified, then he will lose some and I can gain some. This is the end of it."
It only makes sense if he wins, but under the circumstances at that time he had clearly shown his value, and even if I could win against him, it would not have much impact, so I just..."
Disrael said disdainfully: "So you were killed by him once? It made him famous?!"
Osguto shook his head: "Do you know why I was chosen as the tester?"
Disriel was stunned for a moment after hearing this, not understanding the significance of this question.
Osguto said directly without waiting for the other party's reaction: "In my early years, due to some reasons, although I was promoted to the Grand Arcanist, I also left some shortcomings on my own path. I never paid much attention to it, but until
After walking a certain distance on the path of the Grand Arcanist, I realized how stupid my original choice was. I have been looking for a solution for these years, but unfortunately I have never been able to find it."
"Actually, the solution is very simple!" Osguto suddenly showed a self-deprecating look: "Just die once and start from scratch!"
"I had been unable to make up my mind before. It wasn't until this battle with Lando that I suddenly discovered that the younger generation of boys had grown to this point."
Disriel put away his sarcasm and said: "So you have made up your mind?"
Ask yourself, if he gives up everything and pursues a new opportunity when he knows that he is on the wrong path, how will he choose?
Disriel didn't know this question either, but fortunately he didn't have to make a choice on his own.
Osguto did not answer, but instead said: "All the testers are in a similar situation to me. In fact, we only need a simple test, and there is no need for a real life-and-death battle."
Disriel asked with great interest: "Oh? So the reason why you did that to Lando was all on your own initiative?"
Osguto didn't speak. When he got more information from his mentor and got the identity of the tester, he kept thinking about what he should do.
Because of the unwillingness in his heart, he deliberately said some misleading words when facing Lando. After seeing that it was impossible to do anything, he did not even retreat, but deliberately withstood the latter's strongest blow, which was
In order to feel that special power and learn more about Lando.
As for what’s the use of understanding it? Of course it’s to prepare for the next real battle!
"Then, Mr. Stumbling Block, the agreement between us should still be in effect!" Osguto suddenly said to Disriel. He had just been ridiculed one after another by the other party, and he was not a good gentleman who refused to retaliate.
Disriel was just a 'stumbling block' brought back by those old guys to make it more difficult for the Imperial Arcanists. The former didn't know this at the beginning, but they only figured it out later.
To the empire's top brass, Disriel was simply not qualified to win the final victory, and was just a tool to increase the difficulty.
As soon as the word 'stumbling block' came out, Disriel's expression stiffened slightly, and then he said sarcastically: "Oh, it's really the arrogance of the arcanist, but until the end, the final result is still very...
It’s hard to say! Of course the agreement between us is valid.”
Osguto nodded and said nothing.
After turning off the communication, Osguto looked around, feeling the increasingly strong expulsion from the underworld, and without any intention of fighting it, he left the coast directly.
On the other side, Disriel looked at the ended communication, sneered, and stepped out of the shadows to reveal his body. His body was a hell fiend!
Hell is indeed his home field. After only returning here for a few years, he evolved into a deep hell fiend known as the aristocrat of hell based on the arrangement he made long ago.
Disrael looked at the small devil tribe in front and said to himself: "'Stumbling block'?"
Wisps of flames gathered in his hands, and soon condensed into a crimson fireball, which was the Explosive Flame Technique!
If Osguto were here, he would be surprised to find that Disriel's Explosive Flame spell did not rely on the power of the blood of the Hell Fiend, but on the... arcane furnace in his body!
"I'll let you know if I'm qualified!"
"Boom!~"
The small devil tribe was reduced to ashes in the violent explosion, and countless souls let out wailing screams!
…………
One month later.
News of the mysterious disappearance of Alturas finally spread. After a simple test at the beginning, the territory of Alturas had turned into a pot of porridge. The three devil lords of the Blood Plains had already fought for this territory.
Get together.
Lando is now at the edge of the former Alturas territory, and his expression is not very happy.
After the battle with Osguto, Lando immediately went to the core of Alturas territory, the castle where the devil lord lived before his death, to search. As expected, he found nothing. Lando had been mentally prepared for this.
Then he traveled to other large, medium and small cities in the territory. After a month of searching, he found soul crystals worth hundreds of thousands of soul essences, which could push his savings to just over one million. Although
It barely met his needs, but it still left him a little disappointed.
Originally, Lando's most optimistic estimate was to collect three million soul essences, and then condense all the three orange talents in the system: [Seven Emotions (Orange)], [Six Desires (Orange)], and [Heart Sea (Orange)]
After coming out, now you can only choose one of three, because Lando no longer plans to stay in hell and is ready to return to the empire.
He also understood that the gap between the rich and the poor in a place like hell is quite extreme. Really large amounts of resources are in the hands of the strong. If you want to reach the next million soul essence by just plundering the middle and lower classes, it may not be a short time.
I can do it within myself, so it is an unexpected surprise to have gained so much this time.
Luo Xiaohu didn't need to say goodbye anymore, after all, he had already said it last time.
Claire and Stellan didn't see it, so there's no need to go out and look for it. Based on their experience, they can't tell where they're having a good time!
Lando didn't know at this time that Claire, who was supposed to be prosperous, was facing a dementor tribe in the fifth level of hell because of a task assigned by his mentor, and his good friend Stellan was frowning.
Naturally, he was dragged into the water.
A few months later, when he worked hard to complete the errands assigned to him by Osguto, only to learn that his mentor had been reincarnated, his expression was quite wonderful!
As for the hatred between Lando and Claire's mentor Osguto, naturally it will not continue between the two of them... right?
The way back is also very simple.
Originally, Lando planned to collect the relative positions of the large community in the hell world and directly let the little nine-headed dragon turtle take him all the way back. Through the original coordinates of the worlds obtained by Luo Xiaohu when he traveled around the world, and the time when they were captured by hell,
Lando has roughly calculated his location.
At the speed at which the little nine-headed dragon turtle is advancing in the void, it will definitely be able to return to the territory of the Arcane Empire within two years. It will just make the little guy a little more tired.
But there is no need for it now. Soon after Lando accepted the test, he found that the cross-domain teleportation ring on his body that was originally unusable could be used again. It seems that the empire used some means to save him a lot of money.
less time.
Gently throwing the cross-domain teleportation ring, traces of energy began to gather around it with difficulty. Perhaps because of the distance, the teleportation gate opened extremely slowly this time. It took a full three minutes to open.
An unstable portal emerged.
Lando stepped into it in one step. The transmission process was a bit bumpy, and it took a long time, long enough to suffocate ordinary people. But compared to what he encountered in the time and space rift when he came, it was already quite beautiful now.
After a long wait, a ray of light suddenly appeared and quickly filled Lando's field of vision. By the time Lando came to his senses, he had already stepped on solid ground.
After shaking his head, which was still a little dizzy, before he could see the situation clearly, a voice rang in his ears.
"You brat, are you finally willing to come back?!"
Turning his head to look in the direction of the sound, he saw that it was his mentor Odo.
Lando smiled blankly and said, "Teacher, I'm back."
Odo, who was still a little angry at first, couldn't stand it any longer. He nodded and said, "It'll be good to come back. It'll be good to come back."
"here it is?"
Only then did Lando have time to look at the surrounding environment. At this time, he was in a small teleportation square. There was rich and surging arcane magic floating in the air. Countless symbols condensed from elements were circulating in the void. Not far away was a tower.
There is a closed golden eye on the spire-like dome of the magnificent palace.
Otto smiled and said: "Here, this is the core of the Arcane Empire..."
