Triss felt the chaotic energy in her body and nodded.

"Okay, the battle ended quickly. Let's rest for an hour. Then we'll go explore the magical ruins under the Temple Island." Lann explained to Triss, "There is a secret laboratory there. There are many magic notes and magic items. If I remember correctly, there is also a cat-faction demon hunter who is possessed by a demon."

…

In the vast night, a crow with sapphire eyes flapped its wings around the Temple Island.

The pitch-black night is its best protective color. It soars freely on the rock walls around the Temple Island, and deliberately shuttles between some rock cracks as if for some purpose.

Suddenly, it found something, and it quickly flapped its wings to raise its body, flying upwards, and soon returned to a beautiful red-haired sorceress.

Triss opened her palms, and the crow flapped its wings and hovered in the air. Suddenly, all its feathers and flesh dissipated like light dust and turned into chaotic energy and disappeared in the air. Only a crystal skull was left, which lost the support of its levitation force and fell into Triss's palm.

This is the crystal bird skull that Triss sold to Lan. Before this, it was only used as a low-level illusion-seeing device in Lan's hands. After becoming a demon hunter, Lan no longer had any use for this thing.

After establishing a good friendship with Triss, the skull returned to Triss. After all, this kind of magic item can only play its greatest effect in the hands of a warlock.

Triss stared at the empty hole in the eye socket of the crystal bird's skull for a long time, and said to Lan, "I found the place you described."

The entrance to the laboratory was not under the water, but behind a mountain covered by a huge rock peak. Following a narrow passage covered with moss, weeds and body parts, the two quickly found the cave.

A huge and neat wall appeared in front of the two people. It showed obvious traces of human activities and formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding primitive rock walls.

But Lann knew that this wall was not just "artificial". At this moment, the griffin badge on his neck was vibrating slowly.

Triss didn't even need to close her eyes to sense the obscure chaotic energy in the air around her: "This wall is an illusion. There is a whole new world behind it. This is really a secret laboratory!"

Lan asked, "Can you dispel this illusion?"

Triss shook her head. "I don't know who the sorcerer who set up this illusion is, but his level is higher than mine. I need some props that can help me see through illusions."

If it were in the game, the player would already have a special item to remove this illusion, but now...

"Since it is chaos energy, it is still a magical method after all - do you think this is okay?"

Upon hearing this, Triss looked at Lann's palm, where the most direct and efficient anti-magic method appeared: [Magic-blocking Gold Bomb].

The sorceress took two steps back and made a "please" gesture to Lan.

Pull open the ring and a sky full of green dust explodes.

Then, on the wall where the magic-blocking gold dust had been removed, bright spots suddenly appeared, like burnt white paper. These spots quickly spread and eroded the entire rock wall.

A gust of wind blew in from behind the rock wall, and a deep, dark cave appeared in front of the two.

"Demon-blocking gold is indeed a good thing."

Lann exclaimed.

Then he raised his hand and cast an [Alder Seal] to blow away the remaining metal dust in the air to prevent them from hurting Triss.

Entering the cave, Lan looked around. The rock walls were covered with strange rocks, the ceiling of the cave was covered with dense stalactites, and cold plants such as blood moss and wall grass could be seen everywhere.

From time to time, a "humming" sound could be heard from the deep darkness. It might be the wind, or it seemed as if there were some indescribable horror hidden in the darkness.

Lann raised his head and drank the second bottle of [Cat] potion tonight. It had been a while since he subdued the Toad Prince, and the effect of the potion had long worn off.

Making a gesture to Triss to keep quiet, the two of them entered slowly and quietly. In just five minutes, they reached the end of the narrow tunnel at the entrance.

What appeared before my eyes next was a spacious, flat, empty plain.

There are obvious signs of human construction here. Several man-made ornate stone pillars can be vaguely seen not far away. The floor is paved with worn marble slabs, and there is a brazier for lighting at regular intervals.

Of course, these are not the point.

Lan pulled Triss over and pointed to the fountain in the center of the square. A huge figure stood in the darkness next to the fountain.

"It's a golem!" Triss lowered her excited voice.

The overall shape of the giant creature was more like that of a human, with distinct and bizarrely bony limbs. However, its head seemed to have merged with its neck and chest, leaving only a hideous bulge.

As combat units created by warlocks, their creators may think that they don't need a head and that having hands and feet is enough.

At this moment it is still in a dormant state, standing in the darkness like a small mountain, but the two knowledgeable people know that there is earth-shattering power hidden in that silent body.

Lann silently took out the [Construct Bio-Oil] sword oil from the [Inventory], added a hazy halo to the runes of the Sword of the Lady of the Lake, and then made a hand seal to let Quinn possess it.

This is no joke. If you get punched by this guy, the armor on your body will probably be deformed and scrapped and need to be remade.

Finally, Lann took out the [Thunder] potion that could enhance muscle strength and drank it all while lying on his back.

Suddenly, he felt a tingling sensation all over his body like an electric shock, and then endless power was squeezed out from every muscle fiber and nerve.

His dark golden lion pupils were now even darker, and the black blood vessels on his face bulged, making him look hideous and terrifying.

The golem has excellent magic resistance and no will of its own, so the attack power of [Igni Seal] and [Alder Seal] against it is very limited, and [Axi Seal] is completely ineffective. Now all Lann can rely on is the sword in his hand.

However, the witcher's countermeasures are limited, but the sorceress may not be so limited.

"Golems are powered by magic, but they also have the power of lightning in their bodies to provide energy. Wait for me to use lightning to destroy its internal energy system, and then you can go up and get twice the result with half the effort."

Lan nodded in agreement with Triss's plan, leaning down like a lion gathering strength to hunt.

At the same time, the sound of a difficult and rapid incantation came from behind Lann.

The chaotic energy in the air suddenly became thicker, and crackling sounds of static electricity were heard from time to time.

The golem in the darkness sensed all of this, and suddenly fluorescent ribbons lit up on its originally plain body, densely engraved with crude and profound magic runes.

The golem was like a robot that could sense automatically, and at this moment it was activated by Triss's magic.

"Aolong..." A dull sound came from inside the huge body, as if countless rocks were rolling and breaking in the mountains. Every step of the golem could cause the ground to tremble, and as it gradually woke up, its footsteps began to become dense and rapid.

Golem Charge!

Lan faced the huge creature head-on. The oppressive feeling was like a city wall with a broken foundation falling towards him. He could see nothing else within his sight.

Lan took a deep breath and didn't move because the sorceress behind him had just stopped casting her spell.

Accompanied by the last spell that sounded like a scream, the trembling ending tone and the "sizzling" sound of lightning merged into one, and a lightning bolt as thick as an arm flashed from Triss's hand, crossed the battlefield and struck the golem in an instant.

The golem's heavy body smashed the lightning without any hindrance, and there was not even a trace of burn marks on the surface.

But then you can see tiny arcs of electricity constantly jumping on the surface of its body, and the runes on the outside of the golem's skin also begin to flash continuously as if they were short-circuited.

Lann picked up Triss and rushed to the side.

Behind him, the huge golem suddenly became uncoordinated, and soon it missed a step, and its body rolled out in mid-air, crashing into the rock wall with a loud bang.

A large number of stalactites fell like raindrops, and the rubble and dust splashed more than a person's height.

This golem was actually embedded in the rock wall and couldn't be pulled out for a while!

Triss jumped out of Lann's arms and patted the witcher on the back: "Go!"

A purple magic circle rose into the air, and the light of the [Yaden Seal] flickered on the golem's body. Although the effect was small, it made the golem, which was already short-circuited in energy, worse.

He easily dodged the fist that seemed to be in stop-motion animation, and the powerful hammer strikes created cracks in the ground, but it didn't hurt Lane at all.

The rune sword glowed, Lann raised his hands high above his head and began to briefly accumulate strength.

In this situation, there is no need to use sword dance, but some more powerful sword moves are needed.

[Anger Explodes]!

"I wish you... a happy new year!"

The arc of light from the rune sword drew a half-moon-shaped trajectory in the air, illuminating the dark secret room for a brief moment.

The slashing of the Sword of the Lady of the Lake at this moment could no longer be described as "sharp". The thin blade easily tore open the armor made of rock and clay on the surface of the golem like breaking wood or tearing cloth.

At this moment, half of the golem's body was embedded in the rock wall. Although it was difficult for it to move, it would not submit to being killed and began to struggle violently.

Lan placed his left palm on the enemy's leg, without any hesitation, [Alder Seal·Eruption]!

With a bang, the powerful wind pressure and mental impact hit the monster's legs. Although it failed to shake the opponent's armor at all, the shock wave still caused the opponent's body, which was already embedded in the rock wall, to lose balance again.

Then, Lann raised the rune sword again.
