Chapter 391 Trial
“What trial?” Brian stood there with a calm expression, looked up at the deep void transformed from the roof, and asked tentatively, “What if I refuse the trial? "
"These are the rules that you, as a visitor, must abide by if you step into my Saluk territory without authorization, and the rules we set are to accept the trial of the steeple."
"In. In front of the great Saluk Witch, no visitor has the right to refuse, they can only obey and accept unconditionally!”
The indifferent voice that echoed in Brian’s mind suddenly became extremely cold! .
"Boom!"
Brian suddenly felt as if his mind had fallen into a fireball with explosive power, erupting with a deafening roar.
Immediately afterwards, a powerful mental pressure ruthlessly shattered Brian's psychic barrier.
The hot air wave suddenly changed to absolute zero, making him feel as if he had fallen into an extremely cold frozen realm, and his soul seemed to be completely frozen. Even there seemed to be tiny shards of ice in the air. Condensation.
The bone-chilling chill that penetrated deep into his bones and soul made him shiver.
Just when Brian was about to use psychic powers and arcane magic to resist the powerful pressure of these dual spiritual realms, the feeling of fear receded like a tide.
Easy come, easy go.
In an instant, his body returned to its original state like ice and snow melting away. As the cold dissipated, the frozen blood began to circulate, and his whole body became warm and comfortable.
This instant change made Brian realize that from the moment he stepped into the Wuji Spire, he had completely lost the initiative and could only continue to follow the other party's rules of the game.
After all, the other party can easily break through the barrier of his own soul and exert this unknown pressure and fear on his soul and body.
After personally experiencing this terrifying ability, he was almost powerless to resist.
The most important thing is that Brian found to his disbelief that the space here had been silently blocked at some point.
As a legendary spell caster who has mastered the power of space laws, ordinary space locks cannot prevent him from casting teleportation spells. However, the blocked space here not only gives him no hope of breaking through, but he actually notices it. There was a faint trace of divine power.
This is the power of true God, a power of rules that mortals spend their entire lives struggling to master.
This made Brian secretly realize with horror that there was a possibility of a god sleeping in this witch spire.
As for who this god is, he has a vague answer in his heart, but he is not sure yet.
"I am willing to accept the trial of Saluk Spire." Brian stared into the void, calmed down, and said calmly.
The situation is forcing him to follow the rules of the game here.
"Wise choice, adventurer." The cold voice sounded again.
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of information appeared directly in Brian's mind.
These are the three trial choices given to him by the guardian of the spire. They are:
1. Kill the Hydra Lizard "Normal": You will be transported to an unknown space and meet an unknown person. The legendary hydra made of pure energy fights, and if you win, you pass the trial.
2. "Difficulty" in killing the scale descendants: You will randomly face the scale descendants who have inherited the blood of the witches. This is a group of scale descendants whose strength has reached the legendary realm. Created by Ruke Wuhu.
3. Kill the Elder Mokui "Hell": You will face the alien monster Felin Mokui that is older than the Saluk Witch.
…………
"Does the difficulty of the trial mission have any impact?" Brian asked proactively after reviewing the choices that appeared in his mind, staring into the void again.
“As an intelligent race visiting Saluk Spire.” The cold voice said:
“When you complete the challenge we set, you will receive corresponding rewards, and the difficulty of the trial task , will also directly affect your final harvest.”
“That’s it.” Brian nodded thoughtfully.
For him, if he chooses the ordinary legendary hydra lizard, the problem is not very big, or even not challenging, so the two options of difficulty and hell make him a little hesitant.
Logically speaking, naturally choosing the difficulty level is the safest option, but Brian doesn't want to do this.
After all, this is a shaman spire of the creator race, and there is probably a shaman god sleeping inside. You can imagine the rewards hidden inside.
He cannot guarantee whether he will have another chance to come here, so he must not give up the opportunity to obtain the highest reward due to personal reasons.
"So..." Brian pondered for a moment, then asked cautiously:
"In this trial, can I use any form of power? Or should I say this? What special limitations does the challenge have? ”
If there were no rules that limited his own strength, in order to obtain the highest reward, Brian would not mind choosing a hell-difficulty task and challenging Elder Mo Kui.
"Whether it is external power or your own power, this is your personal strength." Although the voice was cold, it made Brian feel more comfortable, "Under the great Saruk Witch In front of the enemy, we only focus on the results and don't care about the process."
"In that case, I choose to challenge the third item, killing Elder Mo Kui." Brian took a deep breath and calmed down. Speak slowly of your decision.
"Very good, your courage deserves commendation." The cold voice said without emotion, "I wish you a happy challenge."
As soon as the words fell, Brian felt the first feeling again. The dizzying feeling you get when you stand at the Wuhu Spire.
When he opened his eyes, he found that he had been transported to a dark space.
This place looks like a dark place, with countless glowing weird fungi growing in clusters in the damp corners of the cave, like a starry night sky, shining with morbid brilliance.
At this moment, a deep purple light emerged from the dark void, and then fell to the ground silently.
Then the light condensed together quickly like a galloping stream of light, transforming into the energy body of a Felin Demon Sunflower in the blink of an eye. "This is a legendary level of true simulacra." The long-silent voice of the golden dragon Paralandax suddenly sounded in Brian's mind.
While gasping for air, he exclaimed: "Sure enough, just as I expected, the creator race has already mastered this level of spells."
"What level?" Brian didn't bother to ask. Why did the other party disappear just now? He curiously raised his inner doubts.
“This is a legendary spell that can be traced back to the origin of the race.” Jin Long said:
“In the Thunder Era, Wu Hui mastered a method through a certain racial medium, and then used virtual Imagery spells perfectly replicate their identities and strengths. It is said that the original Nagas, Winged Lizards, Troglodytes, Snakemen and countless other long-extinct races were inadvertently created by them through studying these spells. Created, otherwise they would not be called: the creator race."
"The magic of the creator race is indeed mysterious," Brian added, "After all, it is recorded in the Nese scroll. Magical knowledge includes Wu Hui’s magical achievements.”
After saying this, he couldn't help but secretly expect that if he could gather all the Nese Scrolls, would he be able to bring his magical attainments to the creator race, or even the Spellweavers known as the 'Interstellar Colonists'? kind of degree.
"Yes, otherwise Karsus wouldn't have developed the twelve-ring divine art." Paralandusk sighed.
Then, he seemed to remember something, his eyes widened again, and he suddenly guessed:
"Boy, do you think Miss Lost is targeting the Goddess Mystra this time, is she looking for her? When Karsus's Apotheosis Technique was reached, he tried to use this powerful magic to directly replace the magic net of the goddess Mystra. Otherwise, why would she go to Myth Drannor to steal another complete set of Nese scrolls? Use it as a medium for rituals."
"It's unlikely." Brian shook his head slightly, "In the end, this spell was just developed by mortals, so how could it be used in a battle between gods. It comes in handy. Besides, when this spell takes effect, not only will it be known to the target in advance, but if it wants to succeed, it must also obtain the consent of the target. The reason why Karsus can cast it successfully is entirely due to the curiosity of the first-generation magic goddess. To.”
This is like someone who hacks an account. Before hacking the account, not only does he say harsh words to the other person, indicating that he is going to hack the account, but he also asks the other person to send him a verification code.
"That's true." Golden Dragon nodded, "But I still feel that the purpose of the followers of the Lost Lady in stealing the Nese Scroll is by no means as simple as it seems in Oljasla's prophetic vision."
“Forget it, let’s not discuss this issue for now.” As if he noticed that Elder Mo Kui was about to take shape not far away, he quickly changed the topic and reminded Brian with a solemn expression:
"Be careful, we are facing an elder Mo Kui whose strength has not been damaged at all." "Compared with the one you dealt with at the ruins of Glory City, it is even worse."
Brian looked at Elder Mo Kui, who had successfully transformed, and nodded, but he did not believe everything Paralandusk said.
After all, when they were in Guangyao City, they faced an elder Mo Kui whose strength had reached the advanced legendary realm. Although he had not returned to his peak state, he became very resistant with the blessing of the Myser Energy Core with divine power. beat.
If the elf elders of Evereska hadn't mobilized the mysterious power of the twelve peaks, they would never have been able to completely kill it.
But the elder Mo Kui in front of him is different.
His strength is at most around a mid-level legend, and he is still transformed from pure energy. Naturally, he is not as scary as the real Felin Demon Kui.
“The owner of the Wuhu Spire is not stupid. He also knows that Felin Demon Kui likes the environment of the Underdark the most, and even the battle arena has helped it evolve.” The golden dragon’s thoughts were filled with surprise:
"And this energetic elder Mo Kui seems to have completely inherited the strength of the real Mo Kui. He is obviously an enemy they have killed before. In short, don't be careless. I will try my best to assist you."
"Understood." Brian nodded seriously.
As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Mo Kui suddenly performed the "Deep Darkness Technique", shrouding the entire Underdark space in darkness that no light could penetrate.
Immediately afterwards, Brian noticed that several magical auras of protective spells flickered frequently in the darkness, surrounding Elder Mo Kui.
Just by looking at the magic fluctuations in the air, he could tell that the other party had at least cast psychic barrier, exorcism wall, advanced spell-invalidation barrier and many other protection and change spells.
In the battle at the ruins of Shining City and the exchange with the ghost prince Brenas, Brian had already understood the methods of Felin Demon Kui clearly. Facing the battle in front of him, for him, it was natural to do everything possible. In control.
It was precisely because he was familiar with Felin Mokui that he chose the third trial mission regardless of the difficulty of the trial mission.
After all, the Saluk witch is the creator race, and the scale descendants are the derivatives of the witch. They are closest to the witch in terms of bloodline and various abilities.
This is a race that Brian has never known.
Not to mention the various weird abilities they have mastered, which will make him appear to be helpless in an uninformed battle, making it difficult for him to display his true strength.
Facing Elder Mo Kui's deep darkness spell, Brian casually cast the three-ring transformation spell "Deep Dark Vision", which solved the problem of being unable to see.
Immediately afterwards, dazzling firelight rose in the darkness, and dozens of washbasin-sized fireballs, trailing slender tail flames, landed on the position of Elder Mo Kui with a whirring sound.
"Rumble!..."
A deafening explosion echoed in the dark cave for a long time.
The high-level spell invalidation barrier surrounding Elder Mo Kui could not withstand the impact of this violent fire element energy. It instantly shattered into nothingness and dissipated into the air, and then his ugly body , shrouded in a sea of fire.
Just when Brian thought his tentative spells had achieved good results, he suddenly discovered that as the fire spread, Elder Mo Kui once again produced a layer of crackling protective magic aura around his body.
This magical barrier that seemed to explode at any time not only blocked the raging fire element energy, but also turned it into a terrifying vortex, absorbing it all in an instant.
"Boom!!!"
The explosion sounded again, this time from Brian's side.
With just a thought, the ground under his feet cracked open like a volcano erupting. Pillars of hot lava and fire erupted violently from the cracks, and the surrounding temperature suddenly rose sharply.
Facing Elder Mo Kui's counterattack, Brian used a flash spell almost out of instinct and disappeared easily, successfully dodging the opponent's counterattack.
"He is actually a magician who specializes in counter-explosion." After the first confrontation between the two, the thoughts of the golden dragon Paralandax sounded in Brian's mind and analyzed it to him. :
“You have to be careful. Unlike the magic whirlpool in Radiant City who specializes in spell whirlpools, the magic sun magician who masters the counterburst is the most powerful arcanist in the Netheril era. The enemy with a headache.”
Before Jin Long finished speaking, Brian, who had just emerged from the flash, noticed that Elder Mo Kui was opening his teeth and claws, and from his big mouth like a chrysanthemum, Letting out a hoarse and unpleasant roar, he waved his seemingly short and weak hands and cast his second attack spell.
In an instant, in the dark cave, shadow tentacles suddenly appeared, exuding a bone-chilling chill, blending with the environment, and attacked Brian overwhelmingly.
