Chapter 260: Planning and Counterattack



"It's been too long. The magic lines carved on the gathering place of wizards in ancient times no longer have any wizard energy flowing."

"The effect of these witchcraft runes is very small, almost non-existent."

Morin walked slowly forward. He looked at the wizard lines around him, feeling the weak and almost non-existent witchcraft power on those dim witchcraft lines, and sighed in his heart.

The humans in the Purgatory world are the descendants of wizards from ancient times, but too much time has passed. Not only has the wizards' power system been replaced, but even the buildings where they once lived have become abandoned.

As a second-level ancient wizard, Morin could easily feel that the power of these magic arrays was to shield and conceal this building. Obviously, the white fog outside was caused by the damage of the magic arrays.

Jefferson looked at the buildings of different styles around him and felt a little surprised, but Larin remained calm.

Soon, Larin took Morin and the others to stop outside the huge cave entrance.

"This is the path to the place where we know rare things are hidden." Larin gestured to Morin and the others, then Larin walked in first.

Maureen and Jefferson didn't think much about it. They followed Larin and slowly walked into the cave.

It was dark in the cave entrance. Larin waved his hand, forming a glowing fireball that illuminated the road ahead.

Maureen walked while paying attention to his surroundings.

"Be careful, there might be some very powerful and strange monsters around." Larin said in front.

Before he finished his words, the witchcraft runes on the wall suddenly glowed, and several tall wolf-headed knight phantoms formed on the surface.

“Ouch!”

Several wolf-headed knights let out a low growl and then rushed towards Morin and the others.

“Damn it!”

"careful!"

Jefferson and Larin's faces turned ugly. They drew their cross swords and instantly charged into the wolf-headed knights.

As they walked deeper into the cave, Morin and his companions encountered more and more monsters. Some were phantoms, and some were powerful black stone puppets. Morin knew that these were all due to the influence of the witchcraft array.

However, the numerous puppets that appeared on the road ahead only caused a little trouble to Morin and his team. With Jefferson and Larin constantly attacking, those puppets were vulnerable, not to mention Morin.

After a while, finally, Morin and the others appeared in a huge hall.

There was a faint light coming from the hall, and there were broken stone pillars inside. It looked solemn and sacred, and filled with an indescribable sense of mystery.

"This is our destination." Larin looked at the hall carefully and let out a breath.

Suddenly Larin's expression changed.

Rumble.

A series of muffled sounds were heard, and then the ground cracked open, revealing a monster with a strong male human body, but the lower body of a giant scorpion.

"Hehehehe..." The scorpion monster let out a series of shrill laughs as it appeared. It moved its arms, leaving dense afterimages in the air. The axe in its hand chopped towards Morin and the others frantically like a storm.

"Damn, the strength of this scorpion monster..."

"At least he has the strength of a high-level Blue Wheel Knight!"

The expressions on Jefferson and Larin's faces changed instantly.

The expression on Morin's face was extremely calm. He slowly stretched out his hand, and with a whoosh, a burst of black and red flames appeared in his palm, jumping continuously.

Soon, the battle between Maureen and the scorpion monster began. If Jefferson and Larin were to face the scorpion monster alone, they would definitely be in great danger. But with Maureen, everything was different.

Not long after, the scorpion monster let out a wail and fell heavily to the ground.

There was a muffled bang, and the scorpion monster suddenly exploded, turning into countless black smoke and disappearing completely in an instant.

"We...actually got rid of this scorpion monster?"

Larin's face was stunned and full of disbelief, and so was Jefferson.

There was a dull expression on Morin's face, without any expression. He extended his senses outward, carefully feeling the surrounding environment.

After a moment, Morin opened his eyes, with a hint of joy in his eyes.

"Sure enough, there is the black air of the dead here." Morin whispered to himself. His fingers formed a spell-casting gesture, and his lips moved slightly as he chanted the spell of witchcraft.

The whole air seemed to tremble invisibly.

Streams of black air flew over from all directions, like billowing black smoke, gathered together, swirled in front of Morin, and formed a black sphere.

The surface of the black sphere kept undulating, becoming calmer and calmer. In the end, the black sphere had turned into a tiny black bead with a glowing surface.

Morin gently waved his hand, held the black round bead in his hand, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

Very good, the last material for refining the blood harmonizing potion, the black energy of undead, has been obtained.

"Is this your destination?" Maureen looked at Jefferson and Larin beside him.

"Yes, this is our destination."

Larin nodded. He looked at Morin with a somewhat evasive look in his eyes. When facing Morin, Larin felt a huge pressure that came from no reason. This pressure was so strong that it pressed on him, making him almost unable to breathe.

"Okay, I'll go then." Morin nodded.

Without waiting for Larin and Jefferson's reply, he turned around and left the hall.

Soon, Morin's figure completely disappeared.

The hall fell into silence. After a long time, Lalin slowly spoke.

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that Morin would have such terrifying strength." Larin's eyes were solemn, and he said, "He is at least as strong as a high-level Blue Wheel Knight, and he may even be... a Moon Wheel Knight!"

"Fortunately, we followed our previous plan and took action against Mr. Morin."

Lalin sighed, his face full of fear and relief.

Jefferson remained silent and did not speak. At this moment, he also felt an indescribable sense of absurdity and weirdness.

Originally, they planned to join forces to kill Morin after arriving here safely. However, when Morin inadvertently showed a little strength, they no longer had this idea.

They had not planned to do so when they killed the mist monkey outside just now. But after entering the cave, Morin killed many monsters with powerful attacks, which made them lose even the last bit of thought.

They even felt lucky.

But Jefferson was also confused. According to common sense, if Morin revealed his strength, he would immediately be treated with caution by the Temple, directly become a high-ranking official in the Temple, and even create a knight family. However, this Mr. Morin was unknown, completely like an invisible man. This made Jefferson feel a lot of thoughts.

"It's just right that Morin is gone. Next, let's do our own thing." Jefferson collected his thoughts. He looked at Larin coldly and said, "Larin, you said that you could use the spirits of those girls to help me become a high-level Blue Wheel Knight. I hope you don't lie to me!"

"Hey, how could that be, Jefferson? We have been friends for many years. How could I lie to you?"

Larin laughed softly.

Jefferson looked at Larin deeply, then turned around and said, "Larin, I have already prepared what you want. As long as you let me get promoted, I will give you what you want."

"That's good." Larin whispered.

Then, Larin and Jefferson began to search in the hall. They found a broken witchcraft circle in the hall. Larin walked forward and repaired the witchcraft circle after repairing it for a while.

Jefferson didn't say anything, he just stood on the witchcraft circle.

There are two points in the witchcraft circle. Jefferson stood on one point, and Larin stood on the other point.

Lalin began to recite the witchcraft spell slowly, and the whole hall gradually became brighter. A little bit of fluorescent light filled the entire hall, making the hall look indescribably mysterious.

"Is this the method used by those so-called wizards in the past..." Jefferson felt a little strange as he watched this scene.

The witchcraft circle emitted a faint light, and Lalin took out a crystal ball with a lot of black air surging on the surface. Above the black air, human faces wailing in pain were faintly visible. They were the girls who had been brutally killed before.

Lalin threw the crystal ball on the witchcraft circle. With a bang, the crystal ball exploded. Streams of black air rushed out and instantly disappeared into the witchcraft circle.

The entire witchcraft formation turned as dark as ink, and the screams of young girls kept coming.

"Huh? Larin, what are you doing?" Jefferson realized something was wrong, his face changed drastically, and he wanted to rush forward and grab Larin.

But in an instant, Jefferson found that his body was so weak that he could not move at all.

Jefferson took a closer look and found that it was actually black air that formed ropes that wrapped him tightly. Even if he tried his best, he could not break free at all.

"Lalin, you forced me to do this!"

Jefferson said through gritted teeth.

As if he sensed something, the next moment, Jefferson's expression changed instantly.

"Jefferson, are you going to use the backup plan you left on me? Haha, that's ridiculous. I'm going to take action against you, Jefferson, but you know, I got rid of those things long ago." Larin smiled. His voice was very old, like a hoarse stone being sharpened, with a rough texture.

"Lalin, what...what do you want? Do you dare to attack me?"

Jefferson said through gritted teeth.

"Haha, what do I want? Of course I want you, Jefferson." Larin stretched out his hand and slowly stroked Jefferson's face. His eyes narrowed and he whispered softly, "As for you thinking that I dare not attack you, Jefferson, don't you think I don't know that you are secretly using various means to capture girls for the saint?"

"How could that be, Jefferson? I know it, I know it all."

Larin's hands were full of wrinkles and had some yellow spots. He was old, really old.

Jefferson's face changed.

"Larin, we can talk about what you want. We can all come and talk." Jefferson took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"What do I want? Larin, didn't I tell you? I want you."

Larin looked at Jefferson with a very strange expression on his face.

Jefferson met Larin's gaze and suddenly felt cold all over, with a strong sense of horror.

Endless black air flooded the place.

"ah!!"

Jefferson's screams rang out.

After a long time, a figure slowly walked out.

He is Jefferson, but the Jefferson in front of him seems a little uncomfortable with the appearance of his body.

"I can finally get rid of that old and useless body. This body has the strength of a mid-level Blue Wheel Knight. Hehe, it really is worthy of being a body I value." Although the body is Jefferson's body, it is Larin's voice that speaks out.

But as he spoke, Larin's voice gradually changed and became Jefferson's voice.

At this moment, the person standing in front of me seemed to be Jefferson himself.

Larin tilted his head, and as he did so, there was a sound of bones snapping and dislocation in the air.

"It would be better if it was the body of a stronger knight, such as that Morin..." Larin muttered to himself.

But halfway through his speech, he couldn't help but stop.

For some reason, when he thought of Morin's calm and indifferent look, Larin couldn't help but shudder, as if he was facing some indescribable powerful fear.

"Forget it. I won't think too much about it. With the effect of the witchcraft just now, this body will probably soon break through and become a high-level Blue Wheel Knight. Then, I can study witchcraft and become a second-level wizard."

"When I become a second-level wizard, I will be the most powerful being in the entire human area!"

Larin had a slight smile on his face.

His body flashed and he immediately disappeared from the spot.
