Chapter 91: Challenge
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The appearance of Keane and Mina confirmed Heath’s previous speculation. It was not a coincidence that he met Ender. It was definitely the work of fate-type spells.
This was because after the exchange, Heath found that Keane was also a type of person with outstanding comprehensive strength, while Mina, who was next to him, was like Ender. Her strength was relatively weaker.
On the way to White Castle, both sides had an exchange on this issue.
Keane said, “It should be the Wheel of Fate.”
He seemed to have some knowledge of fate spells. “This kind of spell is able to work on two specific people within a certain range, allowing them to meet each other by chance.”
“Probably when we first entered the secret plane, we randomly sent a portion of weaker Apprentices to this level, and waited for other Apprentices to come up before automatically pairing up with them..”
At this point, he glanced at each other’s cloaks and said, “And this kind of combination may have priority in the Wizard organization.”
Heath suddenly understood. “I see.”
Soon, the few of them arrived in front of White Castle’s main gate. The square in front of the main gate was covered with a hexagram magic array. The array was widely used to arrange and combine s.p.a.ce runes. It should be a teleportation-type magic array.
The crow, who was next to Heath, explained, “You can enter the hall of the castle through the teleportation array. The teleportation array can only teleport four Apprentices at a time.”
He had just learned this from Keane and Mina. They were waiting for the two Apprentices to challenge White Castle together to increase their chances of winning.
“If you’re ready, shall we begin?” Keane took the lead and stood on the teleportation array.
Heath and his brother followed.
He heard crow ask, “My brother, are you ready?”
Heath nodded.
The crow flapped its wings and flew out of the square. There were four stone pillars covered with runes outside the square. Heath’s crow landed on one of the stone pillars.
The moment the crow landed, the runes on the stone pillars immediately lit up.
Soon, Keane and the other two crows also flew to the remaining three stone pillars. The stone pillars were lit up one by one.
When the last stone pillar was lit up, a dazzling beam of light lit up in the middle of the magic circle.
A strange sense of spatial distortion was transmitted. Heath felt the pressure on his body tighten and loosen again. His vision blurred and he had arrived at a strange place.
This was a great hall of the castle. In front of the great hall stood a throne. At the top of the throne sat an Iron-Armored Knight, and a large two-handed cross-shaped sword stood by his side.
Similarly, this was an alchemy life-form.
“Challenger discovered!”
A cold and stern voice sounded, and two blood-red lights lit up under the helmet’s mask.
Clang!
The Iron-Armored Knight pulled out the two-handed crossguard sword that had been erected beside him and stood up proudly.
Heath and Keane nodded at each other, and then launched an attack on the Iron-Armored Knight according to the battle plan that they had made at the door.
Heath, who had the strength of a Knight, took the lead and rushed forward to delay the Iron-Armored Knight.
At the same time, Keane, who was at the rear, used magic to support him.
Keane had the bloodline of the Flame Demon Everett, so he also majored in the direction of fire elements. He immediately summoned a pillar of fire from under the foot of the Iron-Armored Knight and plunged him into the sea of fire.
The remaining Ender and Mina hid to the side. The two of them were not of much help in the battle. It was better to take care of themselves than to cause trouble.
The battle ended not long after.
Although the Iron-Armored Knight’s strength was much stronger than the alchemy creatures they had encountered before, it was still within the scope of an advanced Apprentice. Under the cooperation of Heath and Keane, it was quickly melted into a pile of sc.r.a.p metal.
After the battle ended, Heath walked forward and summoned a water ball spell to cool down the red-hot Iron-Armored Knight. Then, he pressed his hand on it: ‘Extract.’
[Beep, extraction successful. Obtained Alchemy Puppet [Iron-Armored Knight] Blueprint.]
He had basically extracted all the alchemy lifeforms he had seen along the way. With these materials, he could definitely create some alchemy puppets for himself in the future if he found the right materials.
“Look, there are two more corridors over there.”
After the Iron-Armored Knight fell, two corridors appeared at the end of the room. One marked Labyrinth Academy and the other marked Shadow Tower.
The crow, who was next to Heath, explained, “Enter according to the Wizard organizations you belong to. This is the end of this floor.”
Keane walked over. “Looks like we’ll have to part here, Apprentice Heath.”
Heath nodded. “See you on the next floor.”
Keane shook his head. “Mina and I don’t plan to continue going up. Mina is still a low-level Apprentice. It might be a little far-fetched to continue going up.”
“We decided to stay on this floor and continue to look for some Wizard tools until the time is up.”
Pausing… He suddenly invited in a half-joking tone, “If you have time in the future, you are welcome to visit the Labyrinth Academy. If you are tired of Shadow Tower, if you want to come to our Labyrinth Academy, I can also recommend you. A talent like you is very welcome in Labyrinth Academy.”
Heath was a little surprised. After all, they had only met once, so it was probably not appropriate to say these things.
However, seeing the joking tone of others, he did not take it to heart. It was probably his personality.
“Well, good luck.”
“Good luck.”
Heath and Ender walked towards the corridor.
After the two of them walked far away, Mina suddenly asked, “Keane, why are you telling him this? Do you really want these sc.u.mbags from Shadow Tower to come to our Labyrinth Academy?”
Keane replied, “They are just ordinary Apprentices without any status. They are also pitiful worms who have been exploited.”
Mina snorted coldly, “Hmph, so what? Anyway, as long as they are from Shadow Tower, none of them will be able to escape…”
“Mina!” Just as he said this, Keane sternly interrupted.
He frowned, “We are in a trial!”
Mina was stunned and quickly shut her mouth.
Keane continued, “Alright, let’s go quickly.”
…
On the other side.
Heath and Ender came to a s.p.a.cious room after pa.s.sing through the corridor.
There was a door in the middle of the room.
The crow explained, “Open that door and you’ll be able to enter the next floor.”
“If you don’t want to continue up, you can leave through that door over there.”
It raised its wings and pointed to one side of the room. There was a door there.
After a pause, the crow raised its wings and waved them on the ground. A few small black stones appeared on the ground. They looked similar to Magic Stones, but the color was darker.
These were high-grade Magic Stones. One was equivalent to 10,000 ordinary Magic Stones.
There were three in total, which were 30,000 Magic Stones.
The crow said, “This is your reward for pa.s.sing this level. I hope you can keep up the good work.”
As it said that, the crow flapped its wings again. A gentle breeze swept towards Heath. The gravitational force that had been acting on his body suddenly lightened.
The crow said, “The annoying brother is finally going to leave you. So, no matter what happened in the past, I wish you good luck when you leave.”
After saying that, it flapped its wings and flew away.
“Oh! d.a.m.n it, d.a.m.n it, why do you have three Magic Stones, but I only have one! This is too unfair!” Ender complained.
He also received Magic Stones, but the crow only gave him one.
Heath asked, “Do you still want to continue moving forward?”
Ender stopped and said, “No, I don’t want to go. I don’t have your ability, so it’s useless to go.”
“Good luck, my brother.”
Seeing that Heath did not say anything, he walked forward and pushed open the door.
His vision blurred, and Heath once again came to an unfamiliar place.
This was also a forest. In fact, since the trial had begun, Heath had most likely already seen the pattern of this secret realm. Before entering the door, he had already guessed what the scene behind the door was.
Yes, this was also a forest, a silver forest.
What he saw was a vast expanse of whiteness. Beneath his feet was a thick snowy ground. There were a few pine trees on the snowy ground, and white snow hung on them.
Hu hu!
A cold whistling sound rang out.
The cold wind that was like a knife blew over, and the entire world was filled with a chill that penetrated through one’s heart..
