Chapter 194: The Holy Relic and...Evan
As the thick ice-blue light column penetrated deeply into the earth like a god's scepter, extremely drastic changes occurred in the environment.
It was as if something deeply hidden had suddenly been pierced through.
The originally ordinary environment of the ruins began to become distorted, and a thick and gloomy black and green mysterious atmosphere rose from the surface of the ruins, making the already gloomy sky appear even darker and weirder.
The weathered and eroded rock statues and the remains of the relief walls became blurred, and an invisible force enveloped the entire ruins, as if some giant creature was gradually awakening.
This massive scene startled the birds within a radius of dozens of miles. They flapped their slightly alienated wings, cried sharply, and flew into the air, circling for a long time without landing.
Looking at the astonishing changes in the ruins, Avis glanced at Joem, with a hint of exploration in the depths of his deep blue eyes.
Facing the boy's gaze, Joem shook his head slightly.
This action has two meanings: no overly strong resistance has been encountered for the time being, and no trace of Evan has been found for the time being.
As time went by, the diameter of the ice-blue giant pillar gradually became thinner, and the initial terrifying magical fluctuations gradually decreased.
Finally, due to lack of strength, after a faint flash, the terrifying sword energy finally disappeared without a trace.
But as Joum's attack subsided, the strange, blurry black and green atmosphere became thicker and thicker as if a cork had been opened.
Gradually, in the air above the ruins, a huge shadow wearing an evil dark green sacrificial robe condensed.
An ancient, evil, and twisted pressure emanated from the figure's body. The ruins, which were as large as a large village, looked disproportionate like a miniature toy model under the figure.
Watching the scene with vigilance, Avis looked at Joem for the second time.
Such appearance effects probably indicate that it is at least that of a high-level boss.
Joem's brows also frowned slightly, but he did not respond in any way. He just briefly explained to Avis.
"That's not true, Lord Anvis. It's just a special projection of power. It can only exert the strength of about level seven at most. Don't worry."
Above the ruins, when the solidity of the image reached a certain level, a hoarse and emotionless voice suddenly sounded without any warning.
"A running dog of a false god..."
The sound waves that seemed to be condensed as if they had substance, carrying an obscure, faintly chaotic and alien force, reverberated in the ears of all living beings in the environment with the image as the center.
Looking at the scene with a slightly frowned brow, Avis stared at the image, carefully observing every detail of its appearance.
He recognized the sacrificial robe. In the foreseen scene, the priest standing on top of the altar was wearing exactly the same style of robe.
"You successfully saw through the trap, but it was all in vain."
"The holy relic is no longer here. Where will your arrogance and greed lead you and your companions?"
A false god's lackey? A holy object?
Listening to these few short sentences, Avis keenly captured the key words in the figure's words.
It suddenly occurred to him that he might have stumbled upon some deep secret about the island that he himself did not yet know.
"The time has truly entered the countdown. When the moment of truth comes, the Primordial Moon will take us home."
"And you, have no way to escape--"
Without making any attacking moves, when the last two sentences fell, the huge figure in the air disintegrated into a vague mist again as it appeared, and gradually faded and disappeared.
Looking at the sky which had returned to its original color but was still gloomy, and the huge frosty white hole left in the center of the ruins.
After looking around at the wasteland, Avis slowly started walking towards the ruins.
No matter what, this is the gathering point of the Moon-Calling Secret Cult after all. Through here, he can collect enough media to forcibly locate the location of the real sacrificial site.
Furthermore, when Joem's attack broke through some kind of hidden magic that shrouded the ruins, he was able to sense Evan's presence through the secret art of blood.
"Let's go down and take a look—"
Although it cannot be seen from the surface, in the dark maze deep underground, the original stone corridor is already covered with pure white frost.
Pagans in black robes stood in the corridor, maintaining their postures, but their bodies were covered with thick frost, like cold black sculptures.
They were not dead. In order to prevent accidental injuries, Avis asked Joem to imprison all living beings.
The entire underground maze was originally shrouded in a huge mysterious magic circle, as if waiting for someone to arrive.
The arranger seemed very certain that someone would go in and explore in person for a certain item.
But now, Avis and Joem suddenly broke in and directly destroyed the entire underground maze from the outside, breaking all the arrangements.
As he examined the remaining size of the magic circle, Avis wasn't sure if he and Joem could escape unscathed if they were trapped in it without noticing while the formation was intact.
But while it is dangerous, the benefits of getting deeper into it are also very rich.
If you want to capture a wild animal, you must set bait of the corresponding level in the trap.
In the warehouse of the underground ruins, Anvis found a box of platinum coins, several boxes of silver and gold coins, and some strange and bizarre alien magic accessories and weapons and equipment.
Most of the boxes were of extremely high-quality Heart of Amis gems, several boxes of relatively ordinary Heart of Amis, as well as other precious demonized metal materials such as Mystic Gold and Abyss Silver, all of which seemed to be produced from the islands and mountains.
The levels of those magic items range from fourth to seventh, and most of them are attached with tentacles and mental magic.
However, these are not the most critical.
In the core hall of the ruins, on a display column next to a quick-frozen pagan with the strength of the seventh level, Avis found half a mysterious stone egg shell.
The eggshell seemed to be one of the two halves of a creature that had broken its shell. It was made of a pale white crystal material, which was somewhat out of place with the surrounding evil ruins filled with black and green.
On the eggshell, Anvis once again felt the faint, calm force field fluctuations like the one in the Ravanles Temple.
Although the eggshell was also affected by the aftermath of Jom's attack, it remained unscathed.
Avis couldn't figure out the function of the egg shell for a moment, but that didn't hinder his judgment.
This is an extremely high-level artifact! According to the priest's phantom's voice of "false god's lackey", Anvis instinctively thought of the cloaked bishop of the Holy Light Church that he had seen in "Sleeping Siren".
This eggshell was most likely prepared for him.
The bait is enough to attract the eighth-level bishop of the Holy Light Church. One can imagine how precious it is.
At the same time, after thoroughly exploring the ruins, following the guidance of the blood secret technique, Avis finally found Evan, who had been missing for many days, in a damp and cold rock cell deep in the ruins.
But when he broke through the huge pink tentacles and freed the human figure from the endless wriggling tentacles.
Avis suddenly understood why Joem had just said that he had not found any trace of Evan.
You can always trust pigeons, because pigeons will never stand you up, coo, coo, coo——
