Olvera stood in front of a black iron door, holding a small rusty key in her hand. Behind her was a worn-out armor that was turning into black mist and dissipating. Its chest was torn open by a wind blade.
There were ferocious cracks, and many parts of the body were left with burnt black marks. The will-o'-the-wisps in the eyes had long been extinguished by the rushing water, and there were also tiny electric snakes flashing in them... Apparently they had just experienced a baptism of magic.
The key in Olvera's hand was exploded from this guy. It is worth mentioning that she handled this battle completely alone. Neither Ringer nor Alice gave any help. They just watched silently.
She was in a hurry under the fierce attack of the elite monster, but in the end she relied on the skills she had learned before to kill the opponent without any injuries.
Why do I feel so happy that "my child has finally grown up"?
The long-lost system prompt popped up again.
【Do you want to open the road to the ruler? Yes/no】
[Warning: The guardians among the rulers are extremely powerful. If you are not sure of victory, it is best not to challenge easily!]
Olvera, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, naturally chose yes, and the key in her hand floated towards the door. The black iron door that had stood here for a long time welcomed the long-lost guest, trembling slightly and shaking off the dust.
Then it slowly opened, and the crack in the door that was originally closed gradually widened, revealing the scene behind it to the visitors.
"Are you ready, Olvera?"
Alice asked in a deep voice.
The princess did not answer, just nodded slightly, and then stepped forward. Although it was not the first time she faced the boss, her palms still subconsciously tightened the hilt of the broken steel of the holy sword, and while raising her guard, she moved towards the door.
walking among the rulers.
Fourth floor corridor, current progress: 80%.
……
After entering the room between the rulers, the three of them were surprised by what they saw in front of them, because they actually saw a starry sky.
The darkness is like the endless night, but the glimmer of the stars can light it up, so a gorgeous ocean of stars is reflected above the head. Each star in it is shining with its own light, and they are so close to the ground.
, so that a mortal standing on the ground will have a strange association, as if he can touch those brilliant stars by stretching out his hand, or even pick off the stars and take them as treasures in his palms, and the stars in his eyes
.
At this time, they seemed to have returned to the ancient era when fire had not yet been discovered. Like the ancestors at that time, they were afraid of the miserable minions lurking in the darkness, and were melancholy at the boundless outline of the night wilderness, but they did not know how to deal with it.
.So, I can only use the dim light of the remaining stars in the dusk to guide my way back home. For people of that era, stars are fires in the sky, aurora, and sometimes even greater than the sun. p>
"So beautiful..."
Olvera stared blankly at the sea of stars above her head and murmured.
She hadn't seen the starry sky for a long time, and had even forgotten what it looked like. Now that she saw it again, she suddenly felt an inexplicable seasonal movement, as if those stars were actually more than just stars, and those starlights were naturally more than just starlight. They all had their own characteristics.
The deeper meaning, deep in memory, has another appearance.
Alice was also shocked by the sight before her, but she quickly came to her senses and asked doubtfully: "Why is there a starry sky here?"
What they open should be the door to the rulers, not some messy space door, right? Once opened, the player will be teleported to another map. And speaking of it, this game actually only has one castle.
It’s just a map. The scenes in the corridors on each floor are actually reused texture materials...
"Because this is not a starry sky."
Through Olvera's eyes, Ringer did not look at the sea of stars above his head, but looked straight into the depths of the endless night. Among the surging shadows, he saw countless towering shadows. He whispered
Said: "Look carefully."
Because of his words, Olvera and Alice withdrew their attention from the sea of stars and fell into the darkness. Then, like Ringer, they saw those towering shadows. Their outlines and shapes made Olvera
I can't help but think of the twelve round stone pillars summoned by the giant wolf boss on the first floor. They are like relics from ancient times. They exude an ancient, majestic, sacred and majestic atmosphere in the dilapidated arena, and serve as the boss.
It provided a perfect stage for performance and once left a deep impression on the princess.
Could it be said that the boss on this floor is too!?
No, it doesn't matter. I have completely mastered the operating skills of the Holy Sword and Steel Break, and also gained the power of elemental magic. Even if it is the same type of boss, I can definitely defeat it!
When she was fully mentally prepared, she heard Alice's voice: "Hey, that seems to be... a tower?"
Tower?
Ovela took two steps closer, letting the flame of the lantern be like a light ship sailing on the dark sea, parting a large area of thick and miserable clouds, and also illuminating the huge buildings that were shadowy behind the fog. Although they were still somewhat vague.
Lake, but looking at the outline and shape, it is not difficult to identify them. They are indeed towers, with a solid and cold appearance. The whole body is made of silent black bricks and stones. The color is extremely dark and low, so they merge into the black fog and are indistinguishable from each other.
At a glance, it even looks like the mist condensed into a tall tower.
A high platform is built on the top of each tower. On the high platform are bright gems that are polished and smooth without any dirt on the surface. The gems do not reflect light, but they will emit light on their own. Therefore, every flat section is shining toward the sky.
There was an extremely dazzling divine light shining outside, sometimes smart, sometimes solemn... The starlight the three of them saw just now was actually the light released by these gems, and the star sea was naturally not the real star sea, but the gems'
When light comes together, it forms a brilliant sea of light.
After realizing this, the shock in their hearts did not lessen, but became more intense. When they looked at those towers again, they would have various strange associations, as if their majestic figures were actually ancient giants holding their heads high.
The torch is trekking through a dark ocean, about to cross the sea to find a new home; or it is a towering lighthouse in the storm, guiding the cruise ship back to the land with its unquenchable flame.
If there were a thousand towers here, then there would be a thousand giants holding torches in front of us, and the sound of trudging across the sea would be louder than the huge waves; there would also be a thousand lighthouses burning with flames, and the boiling and hot smoke would be enough to evaporate a whole world.
The terrifying storm turned the coastline into the edge of a volcano... But are there really a thousand towers here? The number is unclear, it may not be enough, but it may be far more than this number, because the mutual refraction of starlight will make people feel lost.
The definition of number even confuses the understanding of individuals. Who can know whether the star he just counted is the reflection of another star?
"So beautiful."
Olvera murmured, repeating what she just said. But behind the two same compliments, there may be different emotions hidden behind them.
"It is indeed very beautiful." Alice did not hesitate to praise this CG that could be taken as a screenshot and used as wallpaper. After praising it, she changed the topic: "But this is not important. What is important is where is the boss?"
Ringer didn't find the boss, so he couldn't answer her question.
The current perspective of the two is limited to the scene that Olvera saw. If Olvera does not turn her perspective, they will not be able to see more.
But the princess is still looking at the sea of jewels in the sky, dazed, as if she is not in the mood to look for traces of the boss.
Alice urged repeatedly: "Don't look at Olvera. Although she is indeed very beautiful, you should have seen enough, right? Fighting the boss is the most important thing now."
"No, Alice..."
"What's not the matter? Is there anything more important than fighting the boss? If you really think it looks good, I'll send you a screenshot later...ah, let me draw it for you, okay? I've loved drawing since I was a child, and I'm pretty good at it.
It’s so beautiful, everyone calls me Little Van Gogh.”
"That's not the problem, Alice."
"What's the problem?"
"Well, that's right, that star...is it going to fall?"
