Lord of the Mysteries

Chapter 9 The Ancient Wraith

Forsi's pupils suddenly enlarged, as if she wanted to absorb more light, so as to see Xio's current appearance clearly.

At the same time, suddenly there was a burst of light in front of her, which was several times more dazzling than the old camera, making the surroundings completely white.

Immediately afterwards, her fingers slid across one of the pages of "Leymano's Travel Notes", and a black mist rose from the soles of her feet, completely covering her entire body.

The dense black mist quickly decomposed into palm-sized illusory bats, flying towards different locations in the underground hall.

This is "The Wing of Darkness" written by "Moon" in the "Leymanor Travel Notes"

Its original function was to increase speed, fly for a short time, and transform into a group of vampire bats to attack the enemy, but Forsi didn't use it like that, and just used it as a "prop" for magic performances.

After all the illusory bats flew away, the place where Fors stood just now was empty.

Her figure shifted to about ten meters away at some point!

After subconsciously doing evasion and self-protection, Fors finally calmed down a little, and hurriedly turned her attention to Xio who appeared abnormal.

However, Xio, who caught her eyes, had blond hair that was only a little messy, and his face was a little wheat-colored due to long-term running outdoors, and his expression was a little dazed, as if he was surprised that his friend had suddenly overreacted, not at all. Traces of being affected by wraith ghosts.

"What happened?" Xio asked suspiciously and warily.

Forsi narrowed her eyes, but didn't answer directly, flipping through "Leymano's Travel Notes", and asked rhetorically:

"Hugh, what is your real height now?"

Hugh seemed to be stunned and replied:

"152, nothing wrong, right?"

Before she finished speaking, Forsi's fingers had already slid over the symbols and magic symbols on the page of notes in her hand.

Silently, a sacred light surrounded by flames fell from the heights of the underground hall.

It is bright and clean, and it immediately enveloped Xio inside, and circles of sunlight swayed outside.

The blazing light pierced into Forsi's eyes, causing her to see the entire hall collapse, and the surrounding space shattered like glass.

This feeling disappeared in a flash, and Forsi was a little dazed to realize that she was still standing in the original position and had not escaped.

Was it just an illusion? She hurriedly turned her head to look to the side, and sure enough, she saw Xio looking at the damaged area near the heavy door normally.

Fors considered it for a while, opened her mouth and said:

"Hugh, what is your real height now?"

Xio glanced at her and said angrily:

"Don't ask such silly questions!"

Huh, it's true... Forsi breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly described the key points of what happened to Xio.

Xio thought for a few seconds, touched Forsi's arm with the left hand of the lantern and said:

"Stand back for a while. Maybe the closer you get to the door, the easier it is to hallucinate."

"Well, it's possible!" Fors nodded in agreement, and quickly moved back a few steps.

Then, she looked around again, and said with a little doubt:

"Why are there still no resentful ghosts here?

"Such an environment should be what they like."

Xio was also surprised, and then began to observe carefully, and finally his eyes fell on the cloud of sunlight floating above Forsi's head.

"Turn it off and try." She offered her advice.

Forsi suddenly realized, and immediately canceled the illumination of the light group.

Darkness surged over silently, once again dominating the underground hall, only the dim yellow light of the lantern resisted all of this insignificantly.

Then, two figures appeared in Forsi's "spiritual vision".

They are all near the bronze gate, one is a woman with her hair coiled,

Wearing easy-to-move knight trousers and fancy shirts, one is a man, wearing silver-black armor, and carrying a long sword that is about to rust.

The former's face was blurred, and he kept going back and forth between the gate and the area that Forsi and Xio had arrived before, while the latter lingered by the gate, muttering something to himself.

This is the two ancient wraiths? Fors touched Xio with her elbow, and said in a low voice:

"I saw spirits."

"I saw it too, they're not hiding." Xio bowed slightly, taking a fighting stance.

Fors hurriedly touched her again:

"Don't worry, I'm not sure it's the target yet."

She tried to take three steps forward, but the two blurred figures didn't even look at her.

Fore thought for a while, then suddenly said:

"Ma'am, what are you doing?"

——She had heard some stories in other occult circles before, saying that it was possible for higher-level spirit creatures such as resentful souls and shadows to communicate.

But before the words fell, she regretted for a while, because even if she could really communicate, she would not be able to achieve her goal, and she would never be able to persuade the other party to commit suicide and hand over the cursed object and residual spirituality of the ancient wraith.

Just when Fors was considering whether to attack directly, the lady in the fancy shirt and knight trousers answered her question without any ups and downs:

"I'm looking for my husband.

"He's the guard here."

Really able to communicate... Fors asked curiously:

"Where did he go?"

At this time, Xio also leaned over, still looking highly vigilant.

The vague lady responded dully:

"He is the guard here, and he told me that there is a strange force seeping out from behind the door, eroding his teammates, and he told me to take the messenger and leave here as soon as possible.

"He said that he would guard me until I escaped safely, but I didn't want to do this, I wanted to leave with him... After sending the messenger away, I returned halfway to look for him underground, but I couldn't find him anyway... "

Judging by the age of this castle beyond the current era, the last guard here can indeed evolve into an ancient wraith. Well, this lady’s story moved me, and I really can’t bear to do anything to her... Fors thought After turning around, he stepped carefully, bypassed the ancient female wraith, and came to the area near the bronze gate.

Along the way, neither she nor Xio had any hallucinations, which seemed to indicate that what happened to her before was created unconsciously by that lady.

Not far from the knight wraith wearing silver and black armor and carrying a rusty long sword, Fors tried to speak again:

"What are you doing, sir?"

The knight's wraith paused and buzzed:

"I'm guarding this dark door to make sure my wife escapes to safety.

"If you can meet her, please tell her that her knights will fight for her to the last moment."

Ah... The Gate of Darkness, this is obviously the Gate of Bronze... Wait, what did he just say? He said he was guarding the gate to make sure his wife escaped safely? This, isn't this the other half of the prototype that the lady described earlier? This is her husband? Forsi was stunned for a while, and moved her eyes back and forth between the two ancient wraiths:

The lady in the fancy shirt and knight trousers approached the bronze gate step by step, then turned around and returned to the center of the hall after arriving, and this cycle was endless. The man in the silver and black armor was holding a rusty long sword and hovered by the gate all the time. They sometimes miss each other, but they never look at each other.

Such a scene lasted for at least 1,500 years, or even longer... Forsi sighed silently, and glanced sideways at Xio, and found that her friend's eyes had already been covered with mist.

Such a person who is easily moved... Forsi couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted at the female wraith:

"Look by the door, your husband has been there!"

The woman in the fancy shirt and knight trousers slowed down, first glanced at Forsi, and then turned her gaze to the heavy door.

Her dull gaze passed through the knight in silver and black armor, and landed behind him.

"I can't find him anyway..." The wraith repeated what he said just now, and also repeated his previous actions.

Fors was inexplicably sad, and was about to shout again, but saw the knight in silver and black armor turn his head to look at him and Xio, and shouted loudly:

"who are you?"

Just as his voice fell, the female wraith once again turned her attention to Xio and Forsi.

Fors suddenly felt that her thoughts slowed down, as if a cloud of coldness quickly formed in her body, rippling, freezing flesh and joints, and in her eyes, Hugh also seemed to have a similar experience, and the surroundings of the lantern were dimmed. Not a lot.

At this moment, two lightning-like rays of light suddenly lit up in Xio's eyes.

The male resentful spirit groaned in pain, and his figure blurred for a moment.

Xio instantly got rid of the "frozen" feeling just now, and threw the triangular thorn out of his hand, and threw it at the female wraith.

At the tip of the triangular thorn, some illusory lightning kept jumping, directly hitting the woman in a fancy shirt and knight trousers.

"Mental Whiplash"!

The female wraith screamed, and her figure became increasingly blurred.

Forsi's mind suddenly cleared, and her fingers slid over the "Leymano Travel Notebook" that had been opened before.

The surrounding shadows gathered together like life, turning into a black chain, restraining the knight wraith in place and sealing its "mouth".

"Shackles of the Abyss"!

At the same time, Xio rushed out, with the figure of the female wraith reflected in his eyes, holding the illusory hot iron in his hand, and imprinted on the target.

With her entanglement with the female wraith, Forsi's movements became more and more calm.

She flipped through "Leymano's Travel Notes" page by page, sliding her fingers one after another.

One after another, silver-white lightning bolts fell out of nowhere, one after another struck the knight Wraith, turning it into a purgatory of lightning.

At the end, a bright pillar of light entwined with sacred flames flashed, enveloped the knight's wraith, and completely purified it.

Seeing that an enemy had been dealt with, Fors immediately turned to deal with the female wraith together with Xio.

She didn't skimp on the ability on "Leymano's Travel Notes", cleverly combined the appropriate parts, and with the help of Hugh, sometimes restricted and sometimes attacked, and it didn't take long to solve the target.

Then everything became quiet, and Forsi breathed a sigh of relief, staring at the battlefield with an unbelievable gaze:

"This is the end?"

She originally thought that the two ancient wraiths had special abilities and higher levels, and it would be quite difficult for quasi-powers who were not Sequence 5 to deal with them, but it turned out that things were going very smoothly.

This made her truly realize that "Leymano's Travel Notebook" is indeed an artifact, and she also yearns for the next sequence "Recorder".

Xio was also a little surprised, thought for a few seconds and said:

"No wonder someone told me that under the demigod, the number of Extraordinary people, their cooperation with each other, and the degree of application of their abilities are more important than the level of the sequence."

As soon as she finished saying this, the knocking sound suddenly echoed in her ears.

This broke the silence of the underground hall, which came from behind the bronze door.
