I got up at 5:30 to write. I have a meeting later, so I’ll update it first, and then I’ll correct the typos at noon.

Lucien, Charlotte and Sandra breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this inexplicably terrifying scene, because they said that the magic circle of the "Beltran" castle itself was not turned on, indicating that either the core of the magician's castle
Some of them have been destroyed when the summoning ritual failed and the impact occurred, or those who came through the summoning circle were indeed low-level devils with insufficient intelligence, no knowledge of magic, and unable to control the magic circle.
No matter what the possibility is, this is good news for Lucien and others, because a fully activated magic tower or magician castle often means that its owner has one or two levels of strength. If the magician
Which high-level one has inherited it? It is not impossible to rely on the magic tower to temporarily resist the sixth- and seventh-ring magicians. Therefore, if this castle designed and built by the three-ring magician Bertrand completely activates the magic circle,
, it will be equivalent to a four-ring or five-ring magician, and it will take Lucien, Charlotte and Sandra a long time to break it.
However, Lucien did not rush in immediately, but stopped in mid-air outside the castle. He pushed up his monocle, and his left eye blocked by it turned red. He looked at the dark scene inside through the partially opened castle window.
, from time to time, we can find the red light of huge heat radiation coming from hell. Most of them grew up in sulfur flames. Devils who are immune to fire and toxins have infrared radiation that far exceeds that of ordinary humans. Sometimes, even if there are thick walls to block and absorb it,
, and also allowed Lucien to barely detect a little red trace.
After combining the conclusions drawn by Charlotte and Sandra using their own investigation methods, Lucien roughly had a topographic map of the castle showing the activity range of low-level devils in his mind, combined with Susan's knowledge of the environment inside.
Description, a preliminary decision was quickly made, and the other two people said calmly: "We first need to go to the bondage room to destroy the summoning array. Then we will clean up the remaining devils. According to this idea, we can enter through the window or directly blast the castle wall.
It’s not as easy as going through the gate, courtyard, and lobby stairs to the bondage room on the second floor away from the windows.”
"I think so too, Mr. Evans." Charlotte nodded in agreement.
And the lightning crackled in Sandra's hand, condensed into a silver-white electric light spear, flew out, passed directly through the door, and fell into a bottomless dark well in the corner of the courtyard. There was a dazzling electric light and a slight explosion.
, this is an energy well that absorbs the power of the sun and the power of tides to maintain the regular operation of the magic circle.
She took advantage of the opportunity before the magic circle was activated to destroy one of the energy wells so as not to be blocked by the magic circle after entering the castle. Even though most magic towers are designed to be stronger externally than internally.
Of course, there are many similar energy wells in the castle. They all converge into the energy room on the third floor. Only by completely blowing it up can most of the magic circles in the castle be destroyed.
A layer of faint black light with countless magic runes appeared on the dark energy well, trying hard to resist the explosion of silvery electric light.
Just when Sandra was about to condense another four-ring "Thunder Spear" to attack, she suddenly saw Lucien stretching out his right hand. A different red fireball condensed in front of his palm. It was the size of a head and the color was restrained, as if
Contains terrifying power.
As Lucien pushed with his right hand, the red fireball flew out with a hiss and quickly hit the energy well.
There was a loud boom, a deafening explosion that was completely beyond Charlotte and Sandra's expectations. Countless black smoke rose from the place, rising into the sky and forming a small mushroom cloud.
When the black smoke disappeared, the torn energy well appeared in front of Sandra and others. This made her open her mouth but was speechless. Simple explosions and destruction were indeed powerful in the elemental system, and she was worthy of the title of "Destructor"
! But the power of Mr. Evans's magic is too exaggerated, isn't it? It exceeds the three-ring fireball spell by countless times, and is even comparable to the five-ring "large flame explosion"!
Is this the will of the elements or Mr. Evans's unique magic?
How could she and Charlotte, who were standing next to Lucien, not be able to tell whether this was the magic inspired by magic items or the magic released by themselves, and Lucien Evans only had a third-level magic level!
Therefore, after seeing this magic, they no longer doubted Lucien's magical strength, at least in terms of pure destructive power, it was definitely stronger than the two of them.
After looking at the explosion effect he had caused with satisfaction, Lucien spoke faster and said, "Quickly rush into the hall before the devils hear the noise and gather around."
"Lucien's Big Fire Ball" mainly uses explosion damage, supplemented by flame burning, which is equivalent to a four-ring elemental explosion magic. More importantly, Lucien's Holm Crown Ring "Element" also
It can increase its power by an additional 40%, so at first glance, it is almost as scary as a five-ring magic!
With Lucien's original mental power, he can continuously cast more than twenty fireballs, but with the super magic skill "Spell Distance Increase", he can only release seven or eight. However, the "Element" ring allows Lucien's
The recovery speed of mental power has been increased to that of a five-ring magician. As long as it is not used continuously without any room for rest except for the casting buffer, there is basically no danger of mental exhaustion in a half-hour battle.
I have to say that compared to Lucien's level, the "Element" ring is really an artifact.
Shocked by their magical power, neither Charlotte nor Sandra objected to Lucien's decision. They quickly landed in the castle courtyard with Susan, and at the same time blessed her with "Acceleration" and "Bear Patience" respectively.
"Magic allows her to keep up with three mid-level magicians who have superimposed these magic buffs.
As soon as they landed, Charlotte and Sandra stood in front, one on the left and one on the right, with Lucien behind them. This was the standard three-person combat formation of the Magic Council, while Susan followed Lucien, and Sander
Pull back.
From time to time, splashes of blood could be seen on the ground in the courtyard, and at this time, waves of evil roars could be heard in the castle. It was obvious that the low-level devils had discovered the enemy invasion.
Quickly crossing the courtyard, Charlotte blasted open the half-opened iron door of the hall with a fireball, and then rushed in with Sandra.
In the hall, incomplete human corpses were lying in a mess, with lingering fear on their faces. Broken limbs and arms, hearts, intestines, etc. could be seen everywhere. The strong smell of blood and the nightmarish scene made them feel uncomfortable.
Susan almost retched and felt weak in her feet.
After a little bit of direction, a few people began to walk through the burning sofas, chairs, wood, etc., stepping on blood and pieces of flesh and running toward the stairs.
A black carved staircase appeared in the corner in the light black smoke. Susan couldn't help but feel a little excited, and found some joy on her face, but suddenly there was a buzzing sound, and a group of bloated "wasps" seemed to be carved out of obsidian.
They flew over from different aisles. They were huge, equivalent to two or three humans.
Different from ordinary wasps, their head looks like a human woman with all white pupils open. Her expression is full of pain, there are short antennae on her head, her lower jaw is twisted into a straw, and a pair of flexible black insect wings grow on her back.
, there is a spike shining with black light at the end of the body.
When these "wasps" looked at her with their terrifying female faces, Susan screamed loudly, as if she was in a nightmare.
But Lucien, Charlotte, and Sandra were not affected in any way.
This is a "killer bee demon". From the fact that they have no yellow, red or orange stripes on their bodies, we can tell that they are only low-level!
A thick, bright bolt of lightning appeared out of thin air and struck hard at a tiger-bee demon that tried to influence Sandra's mind and then used its huge body to capture her and inject poison into her.
With a snap, the tiger-bee demon fell to the ground like charcoal, and tiny electric lights popped out from it, hitting other tiger-bee demons.
Most of the ones affected by the lightning spell were twitching and paralyzed in place. Only a few in the distance were not affected and continued to use the fire spell to attack crazily.
Then the biting cold wind mixed with the diffuse snowflakes howled near the stairs, and hailstones the size of fists quickly solidified inside, shimmering with cold light and falling, freezing many hornet demons into ice and breaking them into pieces.
The four-ring magic "Ice Storm" comes from Charlotte!
Since devils are immune to ordinary fire and poison, and are resistant to acid and cold but not strong, Charlotte and Sandra, who are experienced in combat, did not choose fire magic.
In front of Lucien, dark green arrows flew out. They hit the hornet demon and quickly corroded it and penetrated it.
The second-ring magic "Maskillen's Acid Arrow".
By the time the ice storm subsided, all the twenty or so incoming tiger bee demons were dead.
This made Lucien feel a sense of emotion in his soul. Killing low-level devils so easily was something he could not have imagined more than two years ago.
When the Silver Horn summoned the devil projection to fuse with the blood of Baron Laurent, even if the devil projected inside was only level one or level two in strength, he still made himself fearful and cautious, trying to destroy the ritual before it was completed, and now he has killed more than twenty of them.
A level 1 tiger bee demon is as simple as eating and drinking.
After the Killer Bee Demon landed, its body quickly disappeared, leaving nothing behind. Lucien, who planned to collect demon blood materials, was slightly disappointed. It seemed that they were projections, not the summoned true bodies.
Without delay, the formation changed, Charlotte opened the way, Sandra, Lucien and Susan followed him up the stairs.
With the sound of footsteps, several people quickly arrived on the second floor. What appeared in front of them was a hall full of bookshelves, with many tables piled with books, paper and pens.
Some of them were overturned, and some remained the same. There was even a magic apprentice sitting on a chair next to a wooden table. His chest and abdomen were opened, and his intestines, liver, etc. fell to the floor. Apparently, he was injured before he could react.
He was killed by the devil.
"This is the apprentice hall where we study." Susan introduced briefly, "Go through it and go to the bottom of the corridor and turn to the bondage room."
Although he wanted to collect the books here, Lucien, who understood the urgency of the matter, did not delay. He entered the apprentice hall with Charlotte and others and walked around the spaces separated by bookshelves.
Their emphasis on knowledge prevented them from destroying the bookshelf and walking directly through it.
Walking around a bookshelf, Lucien found a mirror standing on the wall next to it, which reflected the silhouettes of himself and others: Charlotte and Sandra in the front, Susan in the middle, and a man in a black double-breasted suit behind.
myself in long dress.
As Lucien took a look, the figure in the mirror also turned his head, "eye contact" was normal, and he also wore a pair of monocles in his left eye.
Lucien, who thought there was nothing strange about him, was about to turn his head when he suddenly saw a strange smile on his face in the mirror, with bulging white eyeballs and blue-gray pimples appearing on his face!
