Chapter 45: Quickly Transmigrate! Strategies for the Viking Son of Fortune (Twenty-Six)
Deep in the maze, the light was dim and the air was filled with the smell of dampness and decay.
Ryan stumbled forward alone, Erica's words echoing in his mind, his heart filled with desire for power and resentment towards Zeus.
"I am the strongest! I am the one who should be recognized!"
He growled and gnashed his teeth, holding the hilt of the sword tightly in his hand.
Suddenly, a ball of faint blue light appeared in front, and a figure in a black robe slowly emerged from the light.
"Who are you?" Ryan asked cautiously, being deceived.
"I'm here to help you,"
The man in black robe said in a hoarse voice, "I know you desire power. I can give you everything you want."
Ryan recognized him as the evil wizard Gavin! According to rumors, he possessed a terrifying magic that could control people's minds. Ryan's heart was alarmed and he wanted to turn around and run away, but he found that his body was no longer under his control.
"Submit to me and become part of my power."
Gavin's voice lingered around Ryan like a venomous snake, and his eyes flashed with evil light. Ron tried desperately to resist, but was eventually controlled by Gavin's magic and became his puppet.
Gavin used Ron to set a trap to lure Feng Ziang and Zeus. He pretended that Ryan was seriously injured and lay on the path to the maze.
"Ryan!"
Feng Ziang saw Ron fall to the ground and ran over anxiously. Zeus seemed more cautious, holding the battle axe tightly in his hand and looking around vigilantly.
"I'm fine..." Ryan said weakly, "I'm just...trapped..."
Feng Ziang looked at Ron with concern and wanted to help him up, but was held back by Zeus.
"Be careful of fraud!" Zeus growled, and a powerful wave of magic came from Ryan.
"Hahaha, you've been fooled!"
Gavin's voice came from all directions, and countless black shadows emerged from the ground, surrounding Feng Ziang and Zeus.
"Ryan, what's wrong with you?" Feng Ziang looked at Ryan in disbelief. His eyes were empty, but there was a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.
Ryan slowly stood up, drew his sword and pointed it at Feng Ziang, his voice cold and ruthless: "I will kill you..."
Feng Ziang took a step back in disbelief. The empty look in Ryan's eyes and the mechanical movements made him feel heartbroken. "Ryan, wake up! Look at who I am?!"
Zeus pulled Feng Ziang behind him and stared at Ryan with a serious expression. "He has been controlled, Ziang, be careful!"
"Hahaha, it's useless!" Gavin's arrogant laughter echoed in the empty maze, "None of you can stop me!"
Before he finished speaking, Ron rushed towards them like a puppet, the sword in his hand carrying a fierce murderous aura. Zeus swung his battle axe to block Ryan's attack, and the harsh sound of metal collision filled the entire maze.
"Ryan, wake up!"
Feng Ziang couldn't bear to hurt Ryan, so he could only dodge his attacks while trying to wake him up.
"It's useless, he has become my puppet!" Gavin's voice rang in their ears like a ghost, "Just surrender obediently!"
"Shut up!"
Zeus roared, the battle axe in his hand ignited with blazing flames, and he chopped towards Ryan with a destructive force. Ryan was knocked back several steps by this powerful force, and a flash of struggle flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by emptiness.
“Damn it!”
Zeus cursed inwardly, he knew that this was not the way to go on, he had to get rid of Gavin as soon as possible to save Ryan. He exchanged a look with Feng Ziang, the two of them stood back to back in tacit understanding, vigilantly observing the movements around them.
"Want to defeat me? You're just wishful thinking!"
Gavin's voice rang out again, and countless black shadows rushed in from all directions, surrounding them. The black shadows turned into hideous monsters, rushing towards them with their fangs and claws bared.
Feng Ziang took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in his heart, and condensed a dazzling light in his hands.
"Don't be afraid, Ziang, I'm here!" Zeus' voice rang in his ears, infusing him with a powerful force.
"Um!"
Feng Ziang nodded heavily, and the light in his hand turned into sharp swords, repelling the approaching monsters one by one. Zeus was like a god of war, swinging the battle axe in his hand tightly, and every swing took away a shadow.
However, there were too many monsters to kill, and Feng Ziang and Zeus gradually felt exhausted. At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out at the entrance of the maze: "Gavin, your doomsday has come!"
Feng Ziang and Zeus looked up in surprise, and saw...
At the entrance of the maze, Leo was holding a long sword, followed by a group of Viking warriors who came from nowhere. They all had angry eyes and were full of murderous intent.
The priestess of the Goddess of Jealousy also came with her priestesses. They chanted ancient spells and shot rays of light at the hideous monsters, purifying the maze polluted by evil forces.
"Leo, you're awake!" Feng Ziang shouted in surprise.
In fact, Feng Ziang didn't know that all this was acting. Ryan was Rhea pretending to be the other person just to test herself. Erica was also a part of it. Feng Ziang and Zeus were both played by the game.
"Don't worry!" Leo smiled firmly, "I'm here to help you!"
"Hmph, a bunch of rabble, you dare to come and die!" Gavin snorted disdainfully, and more dark shadows emerged from behind him and joined the battle.
The battle became more intense, and the maze was filled with the sound of swords clashing, magic roars, and the angry roars of warriors. Feng Ziang and Zeus fought side by side, and they cooperated tacitly, as if they were in sync.
Zeus was extremely brave, and every swing of the battle axe in his hand could knock away approaching enemies. Feng Ziang used her agile body to shuttle between the monsters, and the light in her hand turned into a sharp blade, accurately hitting their vital points.
In the fierce battle, Feng Ziang suddenly discovered that every time Gavin used powerful magic, a faint light would flash across his chest. He was moved, could that be his weakness?
"Zeus, attack Gavin's chest!" Feng Ziang shouted loudly.
Zeus understood what he meant, and he seized the opportunity, leaping up suddenly, with the battle axe in his hand burning with blazing flames, and slashing at Gavin with the momentum of creating the world. Gavin was trying his best to control the monsters, and had no time to dodge, and could only watch the burning battle axe slashing towards him.
"No!" Gavin let out a desperate scream, and the battle axe hit his chest hard...
"Let's go!" Zeus didn't have time to check the results of the battle. He pulled Feng Ziang up and ran towards the depths of the maze.
"The artifact is just ahead!" Feng Ziang said, pointing ahead. There, a dazzling light was rising from the ground...
Gavin's screams echoed in the maze. As the battle axe chopped down, the black energy on his body quickly dissipated, and he finally collapsed to the ground powerlessly.
The monsters that lost control fell to the ground one after another, no longer moving. The evil atmosphere that permeated the maze gradually dissipated, replaced by fresh air and warm light.
"We won?" Prince Leo looked around and asked in disbelief.
"We won!" Feng Ziang hugged Zeus excitedly, tears of joy streaming down his face.
"Ziang, Zeus, I'm sorry, I..."
Ryan was choked with sobs and unable to speak. He knelt in front of them and cried bitterly.
"Get up, Ron. It's not your fault." Feng Ziang helped him up and comforted him softly, "I'm glad you're awake now."
Zeus patted Ron on the shoulder without saying anything, but his eyes were full of understanding and tolerance.
Erica looked at him and thought he was really good at acting. Erica didn't know if it was really okay to tease two people like this. The so-called test was to play with others, but she was just a priest and could only obey orders. At this moment, she felt a little sorry for them. Everyone seemed to care about them and give them rights, but no one gave them real freedom. It was all arranged in a script.
"The artifact!" the jealous goddess priest reminded, "The artifact is still ahead!"
Feng Ziang and Zeus looked at each other, held hands, and ran towards the light. After passing through the last arch, they finally arrived at the deepest part of the maze.
