Chapter 691 Success and Escape

Chapter 691: Success and Escape

"Two!"

As the second number came out, the Altmeri staff moved slightly, and a dark secret passage emerged from the wall behind him.

Holding Paola hostage, the prince slowly retreated, but Landon did not dare to stop him for fear of Paola's safety.

"Here's the book! Let her go!"

With a flash of his eyes, Landon suddenly took out a thick book with a yellow cover and threw it on the ground between them.

"Not this one."

However, after just a quick glance at the book on the ground, Prince Altmer sneered.

"I told you, don't try to play tricks."

At this time, he had already taken Paola hostage and retreated into the secret passage.

"Forget it, just bury it here with you. I think the book won't be damaged that easily!"

As the prince spoke, a huge magic circle covering the entire room suddenly lit up, and dark red illusory chains extended from the magic circle, instantly imprisoning Landon's body.

At the same time, the moment Landon was caught off guard and suppressed, the wall at the entrance of the corridor quickly closed up without any trace.

Then, as Landon's expression changed drastically, a wave of destructive power erupted from the bottom of the room.

"He's dead! That was a chain magic trap that I spent a huge amount of money to ask the eighth-level [Scarlet Blood] to carefully set up. Even if a seventh-level professional falls into it, he will definitely die!"

On the shore of Silver Veil Lake, the figures of Altmer and Paola emerged from between several broken stone pillars of ancient ruins.

Letting go of Paola, Prince Altmer faced the direction of the original manor, the huge crimson pillar of destructive magic power rising into the sky, with cold satisfaction in his fruit green eyes.

"Why... do you have to go to this extent..."

After the binding magic on her body was removed by Altmer, Paola stared blankly into the distance, and a deep sadness appeared on her little face, which was a mixture of crimson and pale.

She knew very well that Landon's real strength was only at level five, and being caught in a trap of this level would have absolutely no hope of survival.

"I've already told you, Paola, I won't give you up to anyone else."

A gentle look suddenly appeared on his face, and Ao Temo answered in a low voice.

In fact, since returning from the previous heads of state meeting, an unidentified mysterious strong man has found Prince Altmer and pointed out to him that Lanton is unusual.

As the prince of the Black Feather Kingdom, Ao Temo also knew a lot of secrets. He suspected that the strong man might be the legendary prophet.

To be valued so much by a mysterious and powerful person, who even came to give him guidance, Landon must have some extraordinary qualities.

Considering the safety of Paola, whom he cherished, Altmer made such a big noise at all costs, striving to completely eliminate Landon and get the book that gave him a strange feeling.

"Just as you promised to marry me, I also promised to protect you. But in the past, my strength was still very weak, and I could only develop in secret, while pretending to be harmless on the surface to let others relax their vigilance against me.

Now, I finally have enough power and strength. Even the strongest second brother and eleventh princess cannot stop me. It is enough to protect you from being hurt in the next power struggle!"

Listening to Altmer's unexpected outpouring of true feelings, Paola also recalled the moments when she had been with the prince, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother Ao Te Mo... Lanton is my friend and has saved me more than once."

Seeing the girl staring silently in the direction of the manor, Altmer shook his head.

"Forget him, Paola, he's dead..."

But before he finished his words, the prince's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed Paola beside him.

But faster than him was a black shadow burning with pitch-black flames. It instantly knocked Princess Paola away and took her around in a big circle, coming to the side of another figure that appeared silently.

"What a pity! I have to disappoint you!"

Landon's words sounded faintly. At this moment, he was covered in a strange heavy armor made of ominous dark magic power. The voice coming from behind the mask became difficult and hoarse, like a demon crawling out of hell.

At the moment the attack broke out, Landon used an eighth-level disposable defensive artifact he found in the ruins to block most of the attack power, but he was still slightly injured.

Patting the black two-headed dog beside him that had taken Paola back, Landon protected Paola behind him and refocused his gaze on Prince Altmer.

"Any last words?"

"Huh...you think you won?"

Looking at Lanton with cold eyes, Prince Altmer suddenly raised his hand.

"Kill him!"

Following his command, a terrifying magical sword light suddenly appeared, forcing Landon to dodge.

At the critical moment, the knight commander Morris, who had previously gone to the Black Feather Capital, finally rushed back.

With the hard power of the seventh level, Morris quickly suppressed Landon. However, during the battle, the Knight Commander also felt a little frightened. Although Landon's strength was only the fifth level, the special alien power on the opponent made even him, a seventh level, feel a little nervous and didn't want to be contaminated.

In addition, the strange two-headed vicious dog next to him kept biting him, so he was unable to take down his target for a while.

"Soon..."

On the other side, although Landon seemed to be struggling under the attack of the Knight Commander, he was actually calm in his heart.

Lord Dark Raven was helping him construct a teleportation spell. If he could hold on for another eighty-three seconds, he would be able to escape with Paola.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

And his apoptosis armed state can last for more than a hundred seconds!

Moreover, from Lanton's observation, the knight obviously did not want to hurt Paola either, so his attack was deliberately deflected to avoid the girl's direction. He had used this point many times to force the opponent to withdraw his attack urgently.

Watching the entangled battle in the sky, Altmo calculated the movements of the two men, and suddenly seized the opportunity when Landon dodged and attacked, as if trying to snatch Paola.

"act recklessly!"

Landon's eyes turned cold, and he hid behind Paola with a subtle feint, forcing the Knight Commander to temporarily stop attacking. At the same time, he slashed at Altmer with his long sword surrounded by the power of apoptosis.

He had originally planned to flee directly, but now that Altmer had come to him to seek death, he could just solve the problem before leaving! But what Landon did not expect was that a sneer suddenly appeared on the prince's face, and a layer of translucent light appeared around him, completely blocking the sword.

At the same time, a piercing pain suddenly came from the back, and the flow of magic power in the body instantly solidified like ice.

After suffering a severe blow, Landon's body trembled violently, and then he was hit by a sword from the knight commander. The black magic armor instantly dissipated and smashed heavily to the ground.

Suddenly coughing up a large mouthful of blood, Landon looked up in astonishment, only to see Paola with a look of disbelief on her face and a glowing amulet on her chest.

A beam of almost tangible white light shot out from the amulet, with the other end inserted into his body, suppressing the flow of magic power in his body to an extremely slow level.

"How does the Lawbreaker I prepared specially for you taste?"

At this time, Prince Altmer slowly walked over and pointed his staff at Landon, who was lying on the ground with broken bones all over his body and unable to move.

A book with a dark yellow cover floated out from his arms and fell into the prince's hand.

"This time it's really a farewell forever, White Crow!"

After getting the "Yellow Book", the prince pointed his staff at Landon on the ground again, and a green magical light lit up from the tip of the staff.

But at this moment, Paola, who also fell powerlessly, suddenly stood up and used himself to block Landon.

Frowning, Altmer quickly raised his hand, and a beam of pale green dissociation ray shot out from the tip of his staff, brushing past Paola and turning a large tree in the distance into a pile of green powder.

During this delay, a random teleportation light flashed and teleported Landon on the ground far away. . ….…. "What an interesting plot."

From afar, watching Landon's successful escape and Prince Altmer getting the book, Anvis contentedly put away the recliner and refreshments and went to where the prince was.

Now, the prince's battle is over, but his own battle has just begun.

During this time, it seems that another high-level prophet discovered the connection between Prince Altmer and the Yellow Book and planned to take advantage of the opportunity to reap the benefits.

Unlike the genuine Destiny's Child, Landon, it is relatively easy to snatch the book from a villain.

Without concealing his presence, Avis headed straight for the destination indicated by the Web of Destiny.

There, a man in black robe turned his head as if aware of something and met Avis' eyes.
