Chapter 221: Backtrack
“No, don’t provoke the son of G.o.d!”
Heath was shocked.
He quickly grabbed the cross-shaped sword and turned his head.
He didn’t know when, but he saw a figure appear behind him. It was a young girl about ten years old. Her hair was tied back into a ponytail. What was surprising was that she was translucent.
“A ghost?”
Obviously, it was a ghost.
The girl quickly said, “I mean no harm.”
As she spoke, she raised her empty hands and gestured to Heath.
A ghost that could communicate?
This discovery surprised Heath. After all, the souls of normal creatures would be damaged to varying degrees after they died. They were either crazy or stupid. It was rare to see people who could communicate.
Heath asked cautiously, “Who are you?”
The girl introduced herself, “I’m Nina from Ares College. Nina Forrester. Nice to meet you.”
“Ares College?”
Heath tried to recall in his mind, but he couldn’t find any clues related to this Wizard organization.
Nina said again, “I’m not a Wizard from the Western Continent. I’m a Wizard from the land of Faran. A few years ago, I came here to explore with a few friends and met with misfortune.”
The Sealed Land was relatively peaceful except for the period when the Wraiths exploded. Therefore, there would occasionally be some Wizards who used various methods to sneak in. They were trying to find something valuable in this sealed ruins world.
Heath asked curiously, “Are you a Wizard from the land of Faran?”
The land of Faran was a piece of land in the middle of the Wizard Continent. It was the place with the highest element content and the richest resources in the Wizard World. It could be considered the center of the Wizard World.
Nina placed a hand on her chest and softly chanted a spell.
As the spell was chanted, some blue light spots quickly gathered around her and quickly formed a flying elemental spirit.
Heath’s eyes lit up. “Elemental chant?”
This was a small trick to control the elements. Through a few short lines of characters, the elements were gathered around to form a materialized element.
Heath relaxed his guard a little. “Nice to meet you.”
This kind of technique consumed a lot of magic power and was completely meaningless. Only Wizards who were in an area full of magic power like Faran would do such a meaningless waste.
Nina smiled. “Nice to meet you.”
Heath continued to ask, “You asked me not to open that door just now because…”
Nina did not say anything. Instead, she put her hands together and began to chant a long incantation.
Judging from the structure of her incantation and the fluctuation of the surrounding elements, it should be a light and shadow spell. It seemed to be similar to the [Time Reversal].
As expected, as the incantation was being chanted, the surrounding scenery began to change rapidly. The sunlight outside the window became stronger and weaker. The sun rose from the west and fell from the east.
After a few days of this cycle, a few voices sounded from behind.
“Teacher… Teacher, there are so many… so many Golem Puppets outside… We won’t be discovered, right…”
“Hmph, are you doubting a Wizard’s invisibility spell?”
“How is that possible? I’m just… just… being prepared, being prepared.”
“Alright, since you’re worried about those messy things, why don’t you focus on looking around? It’s rare to come to this d*mned place. Wouldn’t it be a pity if you didn’t bring anything back?”
Two cloaked spell casters walked over from behind. One of them was an elder official-level Wizard, and the other was a younger one who was probably an Apprentice.
The two of them were probably here to explore the palace as well. After entering, they walked all the way into the depths of the palace.
However, unlike heath, they had both cast invisibility spells. Moreover, it seemed to be a very high-level invisibility spell. They did not disturb the Golem Puppets outside and just swaggered in.
Soon, they arrived at the corridor where Heath was at, and just like before, they went through the corridor and arrived at the door at the end.
“What a big door. Can it be pushed open?”
“We are Wizards, not lowly mortals. Are you going to use brute force to push it open? Idiot!”
The old Wizard chanted a spell and summoned a stone giant that was more than ten meters tall. The stone giant walked forward and pushed the door with both hands.
Rumble!
The ground shook, and the door slowly opened on both sides.
At this moment, something strange happened!
A thick black smoke suddenly surged out of the door, accompanied by an unusually strong aura of death. It was as if millions of Wraiths were hiding inside.
With this aura of death, a huge monster walked out.
It was a monster that seemed to be a combination of a goat and a human. It had four limbs and a human body, but its face was that of a goat. Its head had a pair of goat-like horns, and its skin was fiery red. It was like a ball of burning flames.
“What… What is that?!”
“This, this is…”
The old Wizard and his Apprentice standing in front of the door were completely stunned.
At the same time, the monster inside the door turned its two big eyes and looked at the two of them. As it looked at them, the corners of its mouth cracked into an ugly smile, it even let out a ‘hehe’ sound.
The old Wizard and his Apprentice shuddered.
“Run!”
Without any hesitation, they turned around and left in an instant.
However, before they could run out, the monster inside opened its mouth and two long tongues flew out of its mouth, heading straight for the old Wizard and his Apprentice.
The old Wizard quickly waved his staff and summoned several ice walls to block the tunnel.
Each ice wall was several meters thick, even compared to an ordinary castle wall.
However, in front of the monster’s tongue, it was as fragile as a piece of paper. When the tongue came straight at it, it was instantly pierced through one by one as if it was breaking dry weeds.
The tongue quickly pa.s.sed through all the ice walls, and then wrapped around the old Wizard and his Apprentice, dragging them back.
Ka-ka! Two sounds.
The old Wizard and his Apprentice immediately entered the monster’s mouth.
“Hehehe…”
The monster stuck out its long tongue and licked its thick lips in satisfaction. Then, it rolled its eyes and landed on the corridor outside.
Its eyes were greedy and pleasantly surprised. It moved its legs and walked out of the door.
However, the moment it stepped out of the door, the room immediately lit up with a dazzling light. Under the light, a magic array faintly appeared.
Cras.h.!.+
A string of black chains surged out of the magic array. These chains were like wriggling snakes, quickly moving forward. They quickly wrapped themselves around the monster’s body and dragged it back.
Rumble!
The opened door closed again.
Heath opened his mouth.
Even though he knew that this was just an image, he still felt a chill down his spine.
‘What the h*ll is this thing?’
That was an official-rank Wizard. The defensive spell just now had a strength of at least 200-300 degrees.
However, this level of defensive spell was as weak as a piece of paper in front of a monster.
An official-rank Wizard didn’t even have the chance to resist and was reduced to food?
