Fantasy journey to the heavens

Chapter 81 Confrontation
Leaving the cave, Katim and the others walked directly out of that place.

After being fully prepared, they were ready to directly find the location of the guy behind the scenes.

I thought this process would be somewhat difficult, but it turned out to be much easier than imagined.

"This way."

Sean looked at the many forks in the road in front of him. He closed his eyes for a moment and then made a judgment immediately.

Even without any guide or map, he could always find the accurate path.

This ability makes Katim a little envious.

In terms of strength, third-level apprentices and knights are considered to be at the same level, and there is not much difference between them.

But in other aspects, the two are much different.

Compared to a simple knight, Sean's current abilities can be described as diverse.

But when he thought about the harsh conditions required to become a wizard, Katim felt relieved.

Compared with knights who can practice as long as they have some talent, the standards required by wizards are much more difficult.

It is normal to have different means of mastering.

They moved forward, finally approaching the core.

A strong smell of blood came to the face.

Katim frowned and looked forward in the direction of the source of the breath.

I saw several corpses hanging high there. The blood in the bodies had been drained at this moment, and they looked much curled up.

"That's Mr. Enry..."

Daru exclaimed, with a look of astonishment on his face: "They have already..."

Daru seemed particularly shocked by this situation.

No matter how hard they resist, Enli and the others are genuine knights, and each one of them is a genuine strong knight.

This time, a total of eight people came down, including him and Katim. Now except for the two of them, the rest are all dead here.

These are not six pigs and dogs, but six official knights. Are they going to die now?
Daru seemed very shocked by this situation and was speechless for a while.

But that's just him.

Katim and Sean stood side by side, not looking at all surprised by this situation.

The abilities of formal knights are indeed powerful, but as Sean said, they are still mortals.

Perhaps in terms of pure strength, they were no less than wizard apprentices, but in other aspects, they were far behind.

There is absolutely no need for the opponent to confront him head-on. It is easy to use poison or traps.

Don't forget, this place is the other party's lair, God knows how many things have been arranged.

Katim would choose to stay with Sean for this reason.

"The magic circle has begun."

Sean frowned and pointed ahead.

Katim looked in the direction he pointed.

I saw that there, a huge magic circle had been carved, with runes flashing on it.

Those runes were all made of special materials, and each rune shone brightly, seeming to carry some kind of heart-stopping power.

The life force of a full six knights is being extracted, flowing towards the center along the magic circle.

And as the core of everything, there is a pale white heart.

Yes, heart.

It is just a simple heart, but it seems to have some special power. Even if it leaves its own body, it does not lose its activity. Instead, it becomes stronger and stronger under the nourishment of that huge vitality.

The magic circle was constantly operating, and the power extracted from the six knights was continuously being poured into the heart, helping the heart to become stronger.

Looking at this scene, Katim couldn't help but feel something in his heart.

The effect of this magic circle is very similar to the life ritual. They both extract vitality from other beings and use it to achieve a certain special purpose.

But compared to the life ritual, this magic circle is much simpler, and its effects cannot be compared.

The vitality extracted by the life ritual is pure. Whether it is a powerful fighter or a weak beast, it can be used as a sacrifice to completely extract the vitality from its body.

The vitality extracted by this magic circle is quite chaotic.

Katim could feel that the life force extracted from the bodies of Enri and others contained many impurities.

Using this kind of impure vitality cannot be absorbed at all. On the other hand, it will have heavy side effects. It cannot be directly absorbed and strengthened like the vitality provided by the life ritual.

This is the life force extracted from the pure formal knight who has life energy and the life force in his body.

It is conceivable that if the sacrifice is not good, the life force extracted will probably be even worse, and I am afraid it cannot even be used.

Sean also looked ahead.

Under his gaze, an old man stood up slowly.

The old man was wearing a black robe and had long hair. His face looked a little weathered, and he had an inexplicable aura all over his body.

"Wizard of Lane, you are here."

The old man turned around and his eyes fell on Sean: "It is rare to see wizards at the border of the Black Forest. It is rare."

"Yeah, I was surprised too."

Sean's face was expressionless and he said calmly: "Who would have thought that in this dark forest area where wizards are almost extinct, there would be a powerful apprentice who is close to a formal wizard."

"There are very few wizards in the Black Forest area, so some experiments are easier to conduct."

The old man smiled and spoke, looking at the heart in the magic circle: "For example, if the corpse beast is in Lane, there will probably be wizards from the academy coming to encircle and suppress it before the corpse beast is cultivated. "You expect to be promoted with the help of this heart?"

Sean frowned and said, "This is not a good idea."

"It's been good."

A smile appeared on the old man's face: "For this heart, I invested all the materials in my body and finally cultivated an almost perfect corpse beast."

"With this foundation, coupled with the cultivation of the vitality of six knights, the effect that can be achieved is still not as good as the crystal potion, but I think it is more than half of the effect."

After hearing this, Sean couldn't help but turn around and look towards the center of the magic circle.

This corpse beast's heart was much more perfect than he imagined.

After careful cultivation by the old man in front of him, coupled with the vitality nourishment of so many knights, the effect of this heart will undoubtedly be very good.

It was also a huge temptation for Sean.

After all, he is also a third-level apprentice and is about to face the difficulty of being promoted to a formal wizard.

"Be excited."

The old man smiled, then shifted his gaze to look at Katim and the two of them: "Although it is a bit regretful, this level is enough."

As the words fell, an inexplicable change began to occur.

The runes in front of him began to change, and the operation of the magic circle changed.

The heart no longer draws power outwards, but can breathe out life force under the operation of the magic circle.

Under the operation of the magic circle, all the life force began to converge towards the old man.

This is an unusual standard, and it also represents the old man's next move.

boom!
There was a light noise.

At this moment, Katim and Sean coincided with each other and began to take direct action.

The surging force rushed forward.

In mid-air, invisible waves rushed forward and crashed directly into the old man.

This is a spell cast by Sean, and it is a killer move once it is cast.

But unfortunately, the spell was still being brewed when it was blocked.

In front of the old man, a huge barrier appeared, taking shape together with the power of the magic circle.

This barrier seemed to have been arranged by the old man in advance, and it began to exert its power at this moment.

Standing alone in front, the old man had a dull expression and just clapped his hands casually.

Roar!
Waves of roars came out.

Behind the old man, ferocious monsters rushed out.

They let out ferocious roars and rushed directly towards Katim and the two.

Compared with the monsters outside, the monsters here are obviously much stronger. Not only are the auras on each head stronger, but they are also larger in size.

Daru stepped forward directly and confronted one of the monsters.

He used all the strength in his body, but the result was surprising, and he fell at a disadvantage.

"how is this possible?"

He couldn't believe it.

Daru's strength is definitely not weak, even among the knights, he is not weak. Now facing a monster like this, he is still at a disadvantage.

Who exactly is the other party?
Katim couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he dodged a punch casually and felt the strength of the monster in front of him.

"Such a powerful monster?"

Katim escaped the attack of a monster on the side, and a thought flashed through his mind: "For wizards, is the power of a knight really nothing?"

He turned around subconsciously, looked at Sean who was also looking very embarrassed and kept avoiding him, and silently gave up the idea in his heart.

From the looks of it, it wasn't that the wizard was far superior to the knight, but that the strength of the old man in front of him far exceeded that of ordinary wizards.

After thinking for a moment, Katim did not attack with all his strength, but kept dodging, observing, and silently approaching the magic circle.

He looked at Sean with some expectation in his heart.

As if feeling Katim's expectation, Sean gritted his teeth and cast other spells again.

A huge flame began to burn.

The fireball gathered in front of Sean, then rushed forward and hit the monsters hard, making a crisp sound.

The huge power exploded directly, blasting out several huge blood skeletons on his body.

The power is quite good.

If he were a knight, once he was hit by this fireball, he would probably fall to the ground and be seriously injured.

However, the flaws are also obvious, the release speed is a bit too slow.

It's okay to deal with the huge guys in front of you, but once the opponent is only the size of an ordinary person, it will be difficult to hit.

In addition to the fireball technique, Sean cast several spells in succession.

His face gradually turned pale, as if he had been hollowed out.

After such efforts, the results are quite amazing.

Ahead, the old man had to take action.
