In the dark and gloomy underground, the strong golden light illuminates every corner, giving the imprisoned creatures around them a new look.
Rhodes and his party are escorting the captured Erich to the deepest part of the dungeon.
"I can't believe... you really did it. He was the former King of Dia, the oldest lich in the world, and you actually brought him back like this."
When Rhodes and his party returned to the city and arrived at the outskirts of the dungeon, they found that Maxika had been waiting here for a long time.
Seeing that Messiga seemed to have something to say, Rhodes asked her to join the team and escort Erich deep into the dungeon.
"I didn't do anything." Facing Messiga's congratulations, Rhodes explained helplessly.
Under the influence of the realm of the dead, Messika also returned to her human form. She looked like an old woman with a somewhat bloated figure. Rhodes could not sense any death energy from her body, not even the energy in her skull.
The inlaid amethyst has also disappeared.
"No... you are too humble. To be able to capture this most powerful lich, I believe you must have thought of many tricks." Messiga continued.
"I remember you suggested that I kill him and lock him in the dungeon. Will there be any hidden dangers?" Rhodes asked in a deep voice.
"Capturing him is undoubtedly the best option. At least until now, I haven't seen any hidden dangers." Messiga explained in a hoarse voice, "To be honest, I didn't expect at first that you could capture this man."
The lich was captured alive, so I strongly recommend that you kill him."
Rhodes nodded, finally understanding the information.
While talking to Messiga, Rhodes noticed that behind the team, Inota and Rowling, who had returned to their full human form, were talking in a low voice and laughing from time to time.
Only after the crisis is completely resolved can they fully appreciate the effects of the realm of the dead and feel their human bodies restored to perfection.
Recalling Erich's last words, Rhodes couldn't help but look at Inota a few more times. It stands to reason that Inota is not a real undead creature. It just borrows the appearance of an undead creature. It should not be affected by the realm of the dead.
Unexpectedly, such a change has occurred, and even Erich was surprised.
Not seeing any abnormalities in Inota's body, Rhodes scratched his head, still a little puzzled. At this moment, a burst of words came from Rhodes' ears.
"Your defense measures here are not very good. Waiting for Erich to recover a little, I'm afraid he will be able to escape from the prison easily."
The person who said these words was Aisha who also came with her. It was with her help that Rhodes successfully captured Erich.
"This is just the outermost part of the dungeon. You haven't seen the situation inside." Rhodes said solemnly, "In the deepest part of the dungeon, it is shrouded by the magic ban ritual, and no creature can cast spells. I believe that Eli
I hope you will be satisfied."
"Demon banning ritual? That is not a ritual that can be arranged casually. I remember that only the mages of Brakada can master this unique ritual. You must be careful. If the ritual fails and Erich escapes,
None of us will have a good ending." Aisha came to Rhodes and said softly.
"There will be no problems with the ceremony. I trust the person who arranged the ceremony." After saying that, Rhodes turned back and glanced at Rowling behind him.
The ritual shrouding the depths of the dungeon was arranged by Rowling.
"That's the best. Errich possesses the most ancient secrets, as well as secrets related to the entire Diya. Many lichs have noticed his resurrection. You'd better strengthen the defense here." Elsa continued. p>
Rhodes nodded and said nothing.
Compared with killing Erich directly, imprisoning him is countless times more troublesome, and one must always be wary of possible accidents.
Rhodes turned around and looked at Erich, who was still in a coma. Except for the fact that his hair had grown longer, he looked no different from North.
After continuing to march for a certain distance, Rhodes took Erich, who was restrained by shackles and shackles, to the deepest cell.
Putting Erich on the straw mat deep in the cell, the strong touch also revived the lich.
"Elsa..." As soon as he woke up, Erich immediately looked around. Even though his body was restricted by shackles and could not release any spells, he remained calm and looked at everything around him coldly, "You traitor
."
"Shh." Aisha raised a finger in front of her mouth and whispered: "But at least, I didn't betray myself."
Erich snorted coldly, and then looked towards the center of the row behind him. Rhodes, who was dressed in black robe, was also examining him.
At this moment, Erich seemed to have discovered something, and looked at Messiga behind Rhodes with some surprise.
"There is an aura about you that is familiar to me." Erich frowned and said with some confusion.
"What do you mean?" Noticing the abnormality on Erich, Rhodes asked proactively.
However, Erich just snorted and ignored Rhode's words.
"I'm here to convey his meaning to you." Messika said proactively, and at the same time, her forehead began to emit purple light.
A strong purple light burst out from Messika's forehead, and her skin slowly deformed. Even the effect of the realm of the dead could not stop the changes brought by this burst of purple light to Messika. Soon, at the top of her head,
, the purple crystal appears again.
"I knew the revelation crystal was with you." Errich said in a deep voice.
Following Erich's line of sight, Rhodes also noticed the amethyst on Messiga's head, which would sparkle every time the prophet made a revelation.
Seeing that Erich was obviously hiding something, Rhodes threatened: "It seems that you are not aware of your situation. Do you want to be locked up here peacefully, or do you want to endure several rounds of torture every day and then use spells to stimulate the wounds? Ever?
King of Diya, make your choice."
Errich fell into silence, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "Do you remember the 'Crown of the World'?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Rhodes nodded and frowned, wondering why Erich mentioned this treasure.
As early as after returning to Saou City, Rhodes handed over the Crown of the World to the members of the Potion Guild in the city, asking them to find ways to improve the effectiveness of the Fountain of Life to avoid wasting these precious things.
"The revelation crystal on her head is one of the original gems set in the Crown of the World." Erich said in a deep voice.
Following Errich's words, bursts of exclamations came from the mouths of Rowling and Inota. As they have experienced the power of the Crown of the World, they can naturally understand what this means.
After hearing such shocking news from Erich, Rhodes didn't believe it for the first time.
"Impossible. The purple crystal on top of her head is obviously larger than the hole in the crown. It is impossible to be embedded in it anyway. Maybe it is just a gem with the same effect, just like the space gem."
Rhodes retorted, several green space gems appeared in his hand, and he gestured to Erich.
Erich shook his head: "The Apocalypse Crystal is not the kind of thing you have in your hands. There is only one such crystal in the whole world. I once went to war with the satellite country of Erathia, and then I got the Apocalypse Crystal."<
/p>
As he spoke, Errich stood up, and the shackles under his body made a crisp sound: "I have collected all the precious gems in the world to create my crown of the world. Jasper, emerald, beryl
, Amethyst, these gems, I can’t possibly admit they are wrong.”
Hearing what Errich said, Rhodes was a little confused for a moment and looked at Messika beside him.
"Is what he said true? Also, what is the function of the revelation crystal?" Rhodes asked proactively.
Before this, Rhodes had asked Messiga similar questions, but did not receive a clear answer. Until Erich appeared and pointed out the origin of the amethyst on Messiga's head, Messiga had to answer this question.
Question.
"It can help me better predict future events." Messiga looked at Rhodes and said slowly.
"The efficacy of the revelation crystal goes far beyond that." Errich retorted, "It can give the user the ability to reveal, and even an ordinary person can have the power to see the future."
"I remember that you also seem to have the ability to enlighten." Looking at Erich in front of him, Rhodes raised his eyebrows and said.
"...Yes." Errich sighed, "The revelation crystal will subtly change the user. Even if the user no longer relies on the power of the crystal, the user can still have the ability to reveal."
After hearing what Errich said, Rhodes looked at the top of Messiga's head. He didn't expect that the purple crystal contained such powerful power.
"No wonder... you were bewitched by her and wanted to deal with me. We didn't have to do this, Rhodes. She was afraid, afraid that I would find her and take back the revelation crystal above her head." Errich looked angry.
Looking at Messiga with interest.
"I have seen your end." As Erich glared at her, Messiga didn't have the slightest fear in her heart, "You will be imprisoned here until you die."
Rhodes looked at everything in the field and had his own thoughts in his heart. After a while, he waved his hand and said: "Erich, you have taken over the body of one of my subordinates. He has something special, so you
It’s safe for now, so just stay in the dungeon.”
After getting the information he wanted from the prophet and ensuring that Erich would not escape, Rhodes turned around and prepared to lead the others away from here.
"I may be safe, but you may not be."
Errich's words stopped Rhodes from leaving. Judging from his tone, this did not seem to be a threat, but more like a warning.
"You have been used by her. She has provoked an existence that she cannot deal with. She needs to use your power. She will involve you in disaster and you will pay the price."
Hearing what Errich said, Messika's expression suddenly changed, and she yelled in her hoarse tone: "You are talking nonsense. You have fabricated these out of thin air. They are not revelations at all. Rhodes, don't believe him."
words."
Rhodes frowned, glanced at Messiga, and then used his eyes to signal Erich to continue.
"I can see... there is only one way to resolve the disaster. Bring me the Revelation Crystal and the Crown of the World, and I will show you."
