As for where the Misleading Mist Tree Root once stood, there was another bronze coloured path.
The pathway seemed to be formed using ceramic. It looked extremely crude, but had a unique, good feeling about it.
As for the path, there was even a line of ancient Byron characters, “Tunnel to Experiment Lab #1! Top secret! Only authorized personnel allowed!”
The blood red words made Leylin shudder.
“This material……”
Leylin touched the bronze coloured ceramic wall. He felt that the material used to make this wall was extremely sturdy. Also, it gave him a similar feeling to the Blood Sobbing Alloy inside the Dylan Gardens. They were both used to isolate spiritual force energy waves.
“If this is really what I think it is, the item that is locked in here must be remarkable!”
The insecurities in Leylin’s heart reached the max.
He cocked his head and pondered, not daring to enter recklessly. Instead, he found an empty space, and took out various items from his robes, creating a strange formation. The appearance of this formation was extremely strange, looking like an inverted “J.” Afterwards, Leylin also carved a similar rune on his robes.
“It seems that I’m really fearful of death!” Leylin’s insecurities lessened after arranging the formation. He mocked himself as he entered the tunnel.
The bronze coloured pathway wasn’t long, and Leylin quickly reached its depths.
There was a small hall and in front of it, there was a black metal door, which was extremely tall, and over 4 meters wide.
On the metal door frame, there were various magic runes with the words ‘Experiment Lab #1. Supervisor: Edward’ written on it.
The words on the metal door were obviously very old, as there was some dust on it, and it looked slightly beaten.
When Leylin was in front of the doors, two figures entered his field of view
After seeing them, Leylin took the initiative to go forth. “Old Devil and Jaye, where’s Brass Ring?”
The old witch and Jaye were the ones that had appeared in front of Experiment Lab #1, while Brass Ring’s location was unknown.
“We stepped into a trap set up by the ancient Magi that caused us to become lost! In the trap, every time when we thought our partners were beside us, we had actually been separated and had gone further apart…”
The old witch replied, “When the trap activated, and the four of us entered the different pathways, I was met with a sound illusion that was arranged by the ancient Magi….After an intense battle, I found this place, and met up with Jaye. Her experiences were similar to mine…..”
Leylin nodded his head, after which he briefly stated his encounters. As for his abilities and spells, he had naturally glossed over the narration of that area.
He then said, “In this case, we should just wait for Brass Ring…”
“We don’t have to anymore! I can sense that Brass Ring is already dead!” Jaye spoke abruptly, causing Leylin to feel somewhat shocked.
This fellow, who seemed like a female, had seldom spoken ever since the group was formed. She also seemed to be rather close to the old witch, yet her energy waves were not very strong, just at the level of an average rank 1 Magus.
But now…
Leylin could not help but to look at Jaye.
Even though Jaye was still wearing a black cloak, her cloak was tattered. It seemed to bear traces of her battle.
Apart from that, the energy waves from Jaye’s body were fluctuating at an unsteady rate. Sometimes, they had the strength of a peak rank 1 Magus, while at other times, it felt like a fledgling rank 1 Magus who had just advanced. At other times, it would intensify greatly, keeping Leylin guessing.
“Jaye had learned and remembered an extremely special rank 1 spell. We were able to estimate the timing of the death of the magus, so we decided to wait for you here!”
Jaye seemed rather antisocial, and she would not speak unless it was of the utmost importance. Everything else was explained by the old witch.
“Is that right?” Leylin was a little doubtful, as the rank 1 magic of the Magus World was extremely peculiar. There was an unknown amount of Magi that built on spells that their ancestors had created or modified in order to create many different unique spells to be passed down, so Leylin wasn’t able to make a decision regarding what the Old Witch had said.
“Since you’re here, let’s take a short break before attempting to enter this Experiment Lab #1!”
The old witch seemed rather zealous. “I have a feeling that the altar I need is right inside!”
Leylin was somewhat speechless. This old witch appeared too impatient.
However, he still walked forward, and touched the black metal door.
Upon contact, an icy cold feeling could be felt as first, before a hotter temperature was felt. As for the sturdy metal door, it gave off a feeling of being indestructible.
From the runes and incantation on the door, Leylin could feel that this room was not used for experiments, but as a prison of some sort.
There was a brass keyhole at the center of the black door. The ethereal keyhole made Leylin’s hair stand on end, and he felt a bone freezing chilliness.
“I can’t fully understand the runes on this door, but I’m still able to make out the general meaning of some of the high levelled runes. There is a high levelled solidifying rune, and a metal memory rune. To break open this door, we will have to spend a lot of energy. Perhaps, we should try to find the key!”
Leylin suggested.
“There’s no need for that! It’s here with me!” The old witch cackled, withdrawing an extremely thick yellow bronze key from her robes.
This key was rather curvy, as if it was a ladle, but it was a perfect fit for the keyhole on the door.
The old witch took the bronze key, and inserted it into the door.
“Wait a minute!” At this moment, a figure appeared in front of her.
“Blood Rogue, what are you doing?” The old witch looked at Leylin, who was blocking her, rage evident on her face.
Jaye immediately stood behind the old witch at this moment. The magic rays emitted from her body caused Leylin’s eyelid to twitch.
“It’s nothing much, I just feel that the danger within has somewhat exceeded my expectations. I wish to withdraw!” Leylin was extremely calm.
“According to the information I’ve seen, this Ancient Spirit Slaying Sect has been the advocate behind the scenes of many ancient calamities. Moreover, it had been undergoing extremely dangerous spirit research…”
Leylin’s expression was extremely sincere as he continued to talk. “Therefore, I suggest that we temporarily stop this exploration, and attempt to explore again after gaining much greater powers….”
Chapter 183 – A Mountain of White Bones
A Mountain of White Bones
When the old witch heard Leylin’s words, she started at the black haired handsome youth before saying with a dry and hoarse voice.
“I’ve known you for almost two years and didn’t know that you were such a cowardly Magus.”
Leylin had given her the impression that he was extremely crazy and daring. He would do anything to reach his goals and did everything without restraints.
“A Magus’s life is extremely long so two years isn’t a long time. Moreover, to give up after knowing it’s dangerous isn’t a cowardly action…..”
Leylin smiled.
“That is to say that you are unwilling to continue on no matter what?” The old witch asked.
“….” Silence was his response.
Pang! The old witch didn’t say anything, but Jaye, who was behind her immediately made her move.
A green-coloured hurricane instantly swept past the area Leylin was.
Pa! Constant clear sounds were heard.
Following that, a black flame exited the hurricane, which burned half of the small hall and was heading towards Jaye.
“Hmph!” Jaye coldly snorted. Her cloak fluttered without any wind as black energy particles were raised.
When the flame and the energy particles collided against each other in the air, an intense explosion occurred.
Jaye’s body shook and was forced three steps back. The aura from her body became unstable.
“Enough!” The old witch shielded Jaye, with green light rays being emitted from her eyes.
With Leylin’s high leveled observation skills, he knew that she was frantically warning him. He currently didn’t want to go against this old witch so Leylin smiled before moving to the side and eradicated the energy waves that was being emitted from his body.
“Jaye, you too. I’m great friends with Blood Rogue. You don’t have to be so wary of him.” When the old witch saw that Leylin moved to the side, the green rays from her eyes also dimmed before she said that to Jaye who was behind her.
“I understand!” Jaye answered softly.
“Blood Rouge, even though we haven’t been together for long, we should know each other’s personality. State whatever terms you have!”
