"Follow me!" Griffith shouted, taking the lead.
This is the ruins of the Senate of the Lost City-State. It is the area with the most concentrated psychic signals and the most gorgeous architectural appearance in the entire ruins. The end of the Sacrifice of the Chosen One is right in front of you, a miracle that is beyond the cognition of humans, elves, and even all intelligent creatures.
Maybe it’s just ahead!
Griffith was the vanguard, followed closely by Galadia. Erza staggered two positions to form a sharp formation with them, climbed up the spectacular steps built with white stone, passed through the majestic pillars, and passed by the past.
It is a palace where celebrities and dignitaries come and go, walking through a strange light and shadow reflected by the well-preserved floor-to-ceiling windows.
The moment they entered the gate, the sea of clouds rolled, the wind howled under the towering sky, and the sound of the wind passing through the gaps between the mountains and buildings was distorted into a strange flute sound. The hall of the Senate was like a dormant giant beast.
respite.
The footsteps of Miss Elf and Huntress were behind him, and Griffith could feel their breath. However, from the moment he set foot here, Griffith heard a vague call. This voice was not
Indecipherable gibbering, simple and clear, going straight to the bottom of my heart:
"What you wish for, say what you wish for.
"The almighty wish-making device will come true.
"Shh, keep your voice down...
"Let the wishing device guess."
The voice sounded so close to Griffith that it seemed as if he was right in his ears.
"Be careful, there is a sealed object, stay alive!" Griffith at the arrow position shouted, and at the same time spread his blood energy, trying to drive away the danger with scorching power.
"Stop!" Erza suddenly grabbed him from behind and dragged him back.
The floor that was flat and gorgeous just now turned out to be a bottomless cliff before I knew it. This astonishing dark fissure is hundreds of meters wide, indescribably deep and precipitous, as if it is going straight to a place that only appears in legends.
It is like the center of the earth, running across the gate and outer wall of the Senate, swallowing up the entire interior of this magnificent building. There are scattered buildings remaining on the other end of the cliff, which should have been the assembly hall, library and garden.
Everything disappeared, leaving only a huge gap and an empty space where you could look up at the surging mist.
"A powerful force tore this place apart in a north-south direction. I can still feel the residual spiritual energy." Erza knelt down on one knee on the edge of the cliff, picked up a small piece of gravel and sniffed it. Then,
She stood up and pointed south.
Something might have torn the space here apart. Over the collapsed and broken roof, Griffith once again saw the eerie and dark towering mountain top. It stood there, much closer than when he looked at it yesterday evening, but,
Some kind of indescribable dark cloud surrounds the jagged and sharp undulating mountains and rocks like a living evil and an evil curse.
It is clearly surrounded by continuous snow-capped mountains, but there is no snow on the top. The bare peaks seem to be towers leading to the endless night shadows, calling for the bold to venture into danger.
At this moment, the strong wind suddenly became more ferocious. The dead and withering air on the ruins of the entire city-state of Annock suddenly began to stir.
The dark sky began to whiten, the fog faded further, and the light from an unknown source clearly presented the continuous rugged boulders between the mountains in the south, as if there were mysterious undulating illusions, which made Griffith wonder if he was because of
Dizzy with fatigue and anxiety.
This was definitely not the moonlight and starlight at night, because at this moment, Griffith clearly saw that the cliff in front of him was also illuminated.
An unexplainable scene occurred——
The light from an unknown source made the sky brighter and discernible little by little, just like before dawn, but it never gave people the joyful and warm feeling of sunrise, only an indescribable paleness and silence.
This light source illuminates the treacherous cliff below at a weird angle, like the staggered spiers of a maze, revealing their jaw-dropping truths.
Griffith, Galadia and Erza took a step back almost at the same time. Even though they were powerful and well-informed, at the same time, they could not resist the desire for this mysterious scene from the depths of their hearts.
Deeply afraid.
This is a majestic maze built of dark boulders that sleeps underground. The hundred-meter cliff can only reveal a small part of its majestic figure, which is enough to make people gasp in horror and be overwhelmed.
Geometric structures such as cylinders, cones and pentagons are stacked and twisted in a way that is impossible to apply to architecture. They are structures of dark green boulders, tall spiers covered with chaotic carvings, and irregular edges and corners.
The shapes and angles are unpredictable and crazy. At first glance, it is a curved surface, but at a second glance, it becomes a sharp angle.
Vessel-shaped bridges connect these buildings to each other, extending into the darkness at the end of the field of vision. There seems to be ferocious malice lurking in every corner, and there is an indescribable unknown hidden.
Their outlines were so grotesque, exaggerated, and unbelievable that everyone present cast a lingering shadow on their hearts and felt extremely depressed.
This is clearly a civilization site similar to the city under the Tulan Swamp, but it is even weirder and more chaotic!
This ancient lost city shrouded in darkness could never have been built by the city-state of Annock. The lost city-states witnessed along the way did have a prosperous history, but they can never be compared with the mystery underground, and the history of thousands of years has never been recorded.
This lost city.
Witnessing such a relic, and thinking that it was once quietly hidden deep underground, witnessing humans building cities, farming and breeding on the surface, makes people feel extremely small and shuddering, and their reason will uncontrollably evaporate in fear, and their minds will become insane.
stand up.
What did we see...
What lies beneath our feet...
The answer to all this may be found by entering the maze below the cliff.
The three Griffiths almost subconsciously walked down the gentle slope, collapse and ruins of the cliff, wanting to have a clearer look at the secret realm of the abyss, until a figure appeared and stopped them.
"Go back, mortal," Aaron slowly landed on a gentle slope of gravel and said condescendingly, "taking another step forward will be cursed and fatal."
His expression was calm, his air was slightly sarcastic, and he seemed to be expounding the truth that was a matter of course. Among the chosen ones who arrived here, he was the only one who had the right to touch the real mystery.
But even so, Griffith and others are still eager to move in their hearts. If they had any doubts and calmness about the Sacrifice of the Chosen One, they have disappeared at this moment. Such majestic underground ruins are clearly beyond human understanding.
If we can uncover even a tiny bit of the ancient mysteries that we know, what amazing rewards we will get.
This is clearly a more powerful and mysterious civilization than Bijaland and Canaan. It has dug up the surface of the earth, constructed a city with technology and power that humans cannot understand until now, and now carries the miracle of the Sacrifice of the Chosen One!
If the veil of the mysteries can be unveiled, what can't be solved about the magic crisis in Canaan, the turmoil in Bijaland, the mysteries of life and the starry sky? In the face of such power and mystery, how insignificant is the turmoil of reality...
Aaron looked down at them, not finding the slightest hint of retreat on the faces of the three of them. He showed a hint of smile and compassion:
"Since you are eager to pursue the fate of spending the rest of your life in fear and regret, let me do it..."
Before he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning roared out.
Erza threw the holy spear in her hand, stabbing Aaron directly amid the deafening buzzing and earth-shattering arc flashes.
However, the Son of Prophecy paid no attention to this powerful blow. When the Holy Spear was released, three bright magic balls lit up around Aaron. They rotated rapidly, showing crystal clear ice blue and thunder and lightning.
Bright silver.
"Phantom invisible!"
Aaron exempted himself from chanting and became invisible for an instant. Only a blurry, almost invisible water wave phantom flashed past in the air, avoiding the spear. However, such dodge could not evade the pursuit of the Blade of Light and Shadow, and Erza was already approaching like lightning.
, swung it away with the round shield in his hand.
Aaron appeared, and one of the magic balls around him was transforming into a red core of lava. A new kind of energy came to work for him.
"Impact!"
He followed his words, and the huge arc impact almost filled his field of vision, sweeping towards Erza. Griffith and Galadia, who were gathered on the gentle slope of the cliff, were also unable to escape, and were all hit by the shock wave.
, flew backwards.
The moment she was repelled, Galadia had already taken action. She rode the wind, grabbed the repelled Erza, flew together, and rolled up to Aaron's left hand.
Griffith also stabilized himself and detoured from the other side, forming a flanking attack. Their siege closed in an instant, and the Son of Prophecy seemed to have fallen into a trap with nowhere to escape.
"Disappear in the hurricane! Accept the lash of the arc!" Aaron waved his hand, and a raging storm rolled up in the air, picking up the approaching ranger and huntress and throwing them into the sky. He even dropped hurricane and arc weapons.
The continuous attack, the blade-like wind even carried a flickering network of electric charges, and the discharge particles kept exploding, and the two people's shields exploded into pieces of light.
Aaron rushed towards Griffith almost at the same time, passed by with the rapidity of magic blessing, and launched the magic spell. He was slightly confused, Laura De Locke, who was wearing a robe and decorated with a heart-shaped headband,
How could such a delicate witch like Haft rush to fight in close combat?
"Obviously you can get the favor of magic, but you have to learn to tear like a monkey," Aaron held his right hand empty and pressed down, "Freeze under my power, Extreme Freeze Nova!"
Between the lightning and flint, a beam of extremely cold ice rushed toward Griffith, freezing his hands and feet, holding them between the frost and air, and trapping him in a terrifying prison of extreme cold.
Won!
Aaron had a chance to win. He chanted with continuous high-speed divine words, used sealed objects and special abilities to save cooldowns, and completed continuous spell casting that wizards could never imagine in their lifetimes. One against three! Galadia and Erza were defeated.
The storm was pushed back, weakened by the arc, and Laura was trapped in the ice.
"Even the three chosen people who have persisted here are no match for me! Hahaha, that's right, high-speed divine words, ignoring cooldown, and mastery of all attribute spells! My layout, my preparations, and my magic are foolproof.
!”
Aaron's heart was jubilant, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. The extremely stressful mental energy consumption was about to destroy his body, but the joy and self-confidence of having a winning chance supported him:
"As long as I take away their emblems, the miracle will be mine. With the miracle, I will gain the powerful power that even that person covets. At that time, I will be the perfect existence to rule the world!
"The first step is to kill this Laura! Then use the psychic energy in her emblem to replenish it!"
Aaron squeezed his magic power and turned to Laura to deliver a decisive blow!
Alas, this, what is going on, my body is so sluggish.
No, it’s not slow, it’s just that I can’t move! I can’t move my body at all!
Aaron was horrified to find that his legs had been frozen by the ice at some point, making him unable to move even an inch.
This is the power of Freeze Nova.
"Who! How dare you use my magic spell against me!"
He roared and asked, the ice cage just a short distance away was like an iceberg cracking and collapsing under the bright sun, and the hot breath was steaming up, which was daunting.
The witch has escaped from the trap. Her long blond hair has turned into stiff black hair, and her slim figure is unfurling with the astonishing oppressive aura.
In the rolling air waves, stood an imposing knight with arms and waist like a wasp. He had clasped shoulders, a face like a powder, a jade nose and purple lips, sword-shaped eyebrows and eyes like stars, an emerald heartband on his forehead, and ice on his waist.
The blue and bright silver swords are radiant.
He regarded the ice as nothing, stood sideways, and the red cloud swept over him with murderous intent.
Aaron's blond red eyes swayed, and his pale and delicate porcelain lips trembled slightly, followed by a cold chill.
At first there was shock and stagnation. Then, without shouting, instigating or inciting, the two walked towards each other at the same time. First they walked forward in a goose-step, and then they turned to galloping forward.
"Hahaha, instead of running away, did you choose to face me?" Griffith spread his arms, left with light and right, as if he was about to hug an old friend, "Before the ceremony of the Chosen One begins, your
My sister was somewhat aware of it on the Feiye, and she must be as flustered as a candidate who realizes after the exam hand-in bell rings that there are questions that they didn’t do before closing the papers, and they must have come to remind you about my secret!"
"Griffith, I gave you a chance to live by following me. Since you came here sincerely, I will help you with great mercy." The confidence and arrogance on Aaron's face have not diminished at all, Lava,
The ice and electric arc spheres roared, "In order to harmonize and organize the world, in order to bring balance to light and darkness, I, Aaron Lundyrus,
"Today, I will beat you here!"
The red blood turned into dragons and danced wildly, and the blue magic energy rose like the rising sun. The War Knight and the Son of Prophecy activated all their strength and charged towards each other:
