Archmage Harper stood on the edge of the square and nodded slightly.
He stepped forward, and Suldak quickly followed from behind.
Stepping into the square, Surdak realized that he seemed to have entered a completely enclosed space. The magic shield was completely invisible from the outside. It was like air, but it existed.
Walking into the square, Suldak immediately felt that the air was filled with a strong black demonic energy.
The rune metal plates on the stone floor of the square are also constantly rotating. The four elements of wind, fire, earth, and water are constantly being extracted by the magic pattern array, and they are flowing towards the altar along the sixteen thorium chains. Standing there
Inside the square, you can see an elemental cage on the altar.
Archmage Harper explained to Surdak as he walked:
"Those of us did not expect that the situation in Aker Town would be so bad. The magicians responsible for the investigation came here and found that the black magicians of the Priory not only opened a demon door here, but also used it here.
Thousands of people in the town built an altar of life with their flesh and blood. If not for this emergency, they would not have mobilized three groups of constructed swordsmen overnight, and also mobilized all the magicians in Ruit City to directly break into the plateau.
deep down, and captured the town of Aker in one fell swoop regardless of the cost."
Surdak thought to himself: The Magic Guild must have spent a lot of money to make Archmage Harper say that regardless of the cost.
His eyes looked at the sixteen thorium chains that were engraved with magic patterns around the altar. Each one was almost as thick as an arm and about a hundred meters long. Even if these chains were only plated with a layer of thorium, they should be very valuable.
!
Surdak walked a few steps quickly, followed him, and curiously asked Archmage Harper: "Master Harper, what is the purpose of this altar of life?"
Archmage Harper deliberately didn't say anything, pointed to the top and said, "I'll tell you if you come up with me and take a look? Morrison is up there too!"
After saying that, Archmage Harper quickened his pace.
Surdak turned around and motioned to Gulitem and Samira to wait outside, and he quickly followed.
The two magicians did not follow.
"The further you go inside, the stronger the demonic aura will become, but I believe these dark demonic auras will not affect you." As he spoke, Archmage Harper not only held up a magic shield for himself, but also for Surdak.
Created a translucent magic shield.
Surdak had long felt the black demonic energy in the square. The power of the holy light in the nodes in his body was constantly moving. Not only did his body repel these black demonic energies, the holy light emitted from his body could even purify them.
Black devilish energy.
He was not affected at all.
Stepping onto the altar made of corpses, even though the steps were covered with thick blankets, it still made Surdak feel particularly uncomfortable.
In particular, the heads of so many corpses are exposed, and their faces still retain the painful look before death.
There were only thirteen steps, and Suldak felt as if he had walked all day long, and the hardships he had experienced poured into his mind one by one.
He lowered his head to prevent the complicated and unreadable expression on his face from appearing, and followed Archmage Harper onto the altar.
Above the altar is a ground made up of countless corpses. The bloody magic circle painted on it has been destroyed. The heavy heart of Surdak standing on the altar is slightly relieved.
In the center of the array, sixteen silver chains wrapped around a bloody body.
It was a body wearing black armor.
Or it can be said that the layer of armor originally grew out of that body. There was no head, and the bloody neck seemed to be dripping with blood.
Both arms and legs were severed, and none of the limbs were on the altar. Only the bloody body was wrapped in chains.
But Suldak had an intuition that this body should be alive.
In addition to having normal breathing, there is also a normal heartbeat.
Archmage Morrison and four other archmage stood at the five corners of the altar. Their feet were flashing with magic light. The magic power transmitted by sixteen chains formed a huge birdcage. There should be A forbidden magic circle, each person holding a high-grade magic crystal in his hand, it can be seen that the spirit is a little tired.
The body in the center of the circle began to pour out blood, and the blood kept pouring out with the sound of "bang bang bang" heartbeat.
"When our investigating magician came to Aker Town, he discovered the demonic body on the altar, but at that time he was still like a mummy, sucking the blood of the people under the altar..." Harper said The mage said to Surdak.
Surdak felt that his heartbeat rate was somewhat similar to that of this demonic body...
"This is the body of a high-level demon king."
Archmage Harper then introduced to Surdak.
"The biggest flaw of the Devil's Gate created by the Black Magic Monastery is that it is bound by the power of the laws of the plane world. Only low-level demons can pass through the Devil's Gate they created. You have probably seen that, under normal circumstances, low-level demons can pass through the Devil's Gate created by them. Demons can't stop the cavalry of our Green Empire!"
Gu Xi
Archmage Harper continued.
Surdak's body glowed with rays of holy light, resisting the invasion of the black devil's energy.
"The method they came up with this time was to kill an evil demon king with the ability to resurrect."
The 'they' that Archmage Harper refers to are black magicians.
"Then break the body into six pieces and turn it into a mummy to minimize the vitality. Then hide it in the belly of a low-level demon, bring it to the Ganbu plane, and then invade a small town and use the entire town's people's Build an altar of life with flesh and blood, and then restore the decomposed body of the evil demon king to its original strength. The demon body that has restored its original strength can be 'resurrected' in the Ganbu plane."
"Actually, their plan has been successful."
"It turns out that this method works, but they are a little too impatient."
Archmage Harper asked Surdak: "Do you remember the magic union they massacred in Mukuso City?"
"Yeah!" Suldak.
Archmage Harper explained: "Actually, that head is the head of the Evil King."
"The head was here in Aker Town. It was completely restored by the power of the altar. Probably because he didn't want to wait, he chose to enslave the body of a human warrior and break into the Magic Guild in Mukusuo City alone."
"In fact, he did it, and almost all magicians died in his hands."
"He even broke into the showroom on the top floor, and someone detonated the magic circle in the showroom. This magic storm not only destroyed his enslaved body, but also created a spatial rift in the showroom, and locked the evil king's head.
In that space that is about to collapse."
"So much so that this torso has never been able to find a suitable head, so it can only be left on this altar to continue nourishing until the mage we sent discovered him!"
"Are you wondering where Quintus and Chester are?" Archmage Harper asked,
Surdak worked hard to digest the information and said casually: "I heard before that I went to the Snowy Mountains!"
"Yes, they went to look for his limbs." Archmage Harper said: "Originally we guessed that some of the limbs might be in Samp Town, but we guessed wrong."
Suldak knew that Archmage Harper definitely did not bring him here just to stand here and listen to stories.
So he asked Archmage Harper directly: "Master Harper, what do you need me to do?"
Archmage Harper said: "The Evil King possesses the power of a sixth-level monster at its peak. Even if his body is broken, the power we have can only seal it at the magical level, but we cannot harm him at all. As you can see, we need
Five second-level masters control the magic circle day and night, and even so, he can even absorb the power of magic to strengthen himself."
"But your power of holy light is different. Holy light is like deadly poison to the devil. We plan to use your power of holy light to suppress him and complete the final seal."
After Archmage Harper finished speaking, he took out a very high-end magic sealing box from his magic pocket, then patted it hard and said:
"This advanced magic-sealing box contains a space array. As long as we can put this body into the magic-sealing box, we will have a way to seal it!"
Surdak said with some surprise:
"You plan to... put it into the Demon Sealing Box?"
Archmage Harper nodded and said, "That's exactly it."
"Do you want to do it now?" Surdak touched the broadsword at his waist and asked.
Archmage Harper put the magic sealing box back into his magic belt bag and said: "Let's go, of course this kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later!"
Surdak made up his mind and plucked up the courage to walk side by side with Archmage Harper toward the center of the circle.
But every time he takes a step, he will feel the heartbeat of the body in the center of the circle speed up, and his own heartbeat is also speeding up, as if something is eager for him to walk over quickly.
He turned to Archmage Harper and asked in a low voice: "Master Harper, have you felt the call of that body?"
Archmage Harper was startled for a moment, then said: "Maybe it's the power of holy light in your body that feels it!"
Surdak closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and mobilized more power of holy light in his body. The broad sword in his hand was like a luminous spar, although Archmage Harper did not move towards him.
They talked about how to suppress the power of the demonic body, but Surdak felt that it would be most direct to just poke a few bloody holes in its body.
Thinking of this, his steps became more determined.
He walked step by step towards the center of the altar...
