Those two guys escaped from the north and south, which means that Luo Fan's current location is very close to the Frozen Mountains.
I checked the three storage rings and found that I had the materials for the next upgrade, but I still didn't see any legendary magic cores.
Could it be that even these holy mages are no match for legendary magical beasts?
Looking at the endless, deep canyons, Luo Fan scanned the area again, searching for any powerful magical beasts that might be present.
"Lord Slime, what are you looking for?"
A clear voice transmission came, causing Luo Fan to stop advancing. He had just confirmed that there was a guy in the shadows communicating with him, level 110, a legendary wind-type.
As expected, there are legendary magical beasts here. Their bodies seem to be hidden in the secret realm, and they probably also possess some spatial magic.
"I've heard there's a giant dragon here. Do you know where it is?"
"Could it be that you want to transform into human form?"
"Who wouldn't want that, Your Excellency? Do you even realize that?"
"A giant dragon did pass through here a while ago, but I don't know which secret realm it has hidden in now."
"Wood element?"
"If it weren't for the wood element, I would have caught it long ago. By the way, it's also skilled in earth escape techniques. I don't know why, but its consciousness was stimulated before, and it became somewhat crazy, destroying quite a few areas."
"If you want to find it, you'll probably have to go underground."
Well, this guy's actually quite cooperative. Unsure of its exact strength, Luo Fan decided against fighting it.
That dragon even has maxed out its escape skills, so how can we chase it?
"Besides last time, have you seen that dragon before?" Luo Fan was still unwilling to give up, having finally found such an opportunity.
"No, that was the only time. Dragons, these magical beasts, are born from the earth's veins, and their birth often signifies disaster."
"I suspect that the stimulation it received may be related to the Abyss. When I chased it, it still carried the aura of the Abyss."
"Oh, I see. Thank you!"
"You're welcome. If you can really kill it, it will put my mind at ease."
After speaking, the other party withdrew its divine sense, seemingly not wanting to clash with Luo Fan, and was surprisingly peaceful. It clearly did not possess any divine aura, and should not have yet survived the demonic tribulation.
Only by reaching the Divine Transformation stage can one break through the current elemental limitations, master magic that arises and moves at will, and control certain rules.
According to the records Luo Fan consulted, the corresponding deities could easily control the weather, and their battles could even cause spatial tremors and collapses. The current geographical structure of the continent is mainly due to the influence of that great war.
Luo Fan intended to ask for more information, but the other party had completely disappeared. Although he knew the location of the secret realm, he was too embarrassed to disturb them any further.
If you really anger them, you'll likely face a tough battle, which isn't worth it.
A legendary wind-type magical beast, although it hasn't reached the Divine Transformation stage yet, it's definitely stronger than a Saint Magister of the same level; it just doesn't want to make a move.
No wonder this place is called a forbidden zone; ordinary holy mages are no match for that guy.
Having identified his target, Luo Fan toned down his search and focused on finding the aura of the Demon Abyss, without disturbing the other secret realms.
After a long while, another sigh came from that secret realm.
"That dragon has been corrupted; I don't know if it can still be used."
"Huh, the scent of the Tree of Life. Has the Tree Spirit returned? Those two will probably wake up soon too. Is this world really going to descend into chaos?"
Luo Fan searched the entire canyon, only discovering a very small amount of the aura of the Demon Abyss in the south. Inside an inconspicuous cave, there was a peculiar laboratory, filled with all sorts of demons.
It seems that because some of the magical beasts contain inscriptions, their aura is several times stronger than that of humans of the same level, and there are even archmages among them.
Luo Fan sneaked inside and found that the space was larger than he had imagined, even giving him the feeling of a high-level dark-elemental dungeon.
Did these guys hollow out the entire underground city just to conduct that kind of experiment?
The Warcraft Forest is rich in beasts, and crossing the Crimson Desert will take you to the Demon Abyss. Wait, I saw some records before that mentioned there's a branch of the Demon Abyss beneath the Crimson Desert.
If that's the case, then this is definitely the best testing ground.
Shadow Valley seems to be near the Crimson Desert. I wonder how Sister Demoness is doing now; she should have gone to the Abyss.
Now that Holy Flame City has been occupied by the Fisher Empire, the entire Crimson Flame Desert is now under their jurisdiction.
Should we go back now?
Luo Fan thought for a moment and realized that there was no point in going back now. He might as well take the opportunity to explore more places, since his clone fireball had not received any warnings yet.
Once Gandalf gets back, Caitlin will probably be on her guard.
I just hope that Ellie and Ahri won't be too lonely over there. With their wood-type and earth-type clones by their side, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Having clarified these points, Luo Fan began to explore the area further. The enemy seemed confident, having left behind few reconnaissance formations, only numerous concealed illusion arrays.
Deep inside, Luo Fan also discovered several Saint Magisters who seemed to be discussing something.
"We just received information that the three holy mages they sent out have been killed, and there were traces of spatial magic. We are advised to be careful."
"Has the Void Thief made his move?"
“That’s definitely the case over there, otherwise Gandalf alone wouldn’t have the ability to do that.”
"So, that notorious thief was also a lackey of that empire. What is His Majesty's opinion?"
"It's urgent. Let's immediately try transplanting magical beast bodies into the Holy Archmage. If successful, we'll expand the scope immediately."
"That's too risky. The Grand Magister's experiment has only just begun to show some results, and we still need time to observe the fusion effect," someone retorted, after all, no one wanted to be a guinea pig.
"The Demon Sealing Tower will provide the materials, and they will also send people over to assist later."
"Then I have no objection. How did they suddenly come to this conclusion? Could it be because of the leakage of human inscriptions? We've been researching it for so long and haven't been able to make it usable by the human body, so the leakage wouldn't have much of an impact!"
"We just received intelligence that a real human inscription has been created and absorbed by someone."
For a moment, the other holy mages fell silent, their faces filled with disbelief.
The Heifel Empire, claiming to be descendants of gods, is a fully religious nation that worships a god of darkness and light. Whenever major events occur, they seem to receive divine instructions. However, that god has never actually appeared, not even when they were on the verge of destruction.
"Have you found out who obtained that human inscription?"
"I'm not sure, but they've determined it's definitely dark-type. The Demon Sealing Tower is investigating, focusing on dark-type holy mages, and some people even suspect that Lilith has a high chance of obtaining it."
"After all, most of the dark magic archmages are currently in the Heifel Empire."
"Lilith? That dark witch? Impossible! She only recently broke through to the Saint Archmage level!"
"The Demon Sealing Tower is currently conducting a major investigation, so let's wait for the results. As soon as those people arrive, we'll begin the experiment immediately."
"no problem!"
After explaining some details, the group dispersed to prepare for the subsequent experiments.
So Lilith has already absorbed that dark-elemental rune!
Luo Fan, who was eavesdropping from the crevice in the rock, felt quite gratified. "As expected of the old witch, her comprehension is so strong, only slightly inferior to mine."
