Demon Royal Family

Augusta revealed a lot of information, but it was all ambiguous. It was like throwing out bait to lure them towards the center. Ivo didn't have much choice. To dispel doubts, going deep into the ruins was the best option at the moment.

The undead arrived twenty meters away. The situation was urgent. Ivo quickly put away the brass disc, raised his hand and threw two short spears, hitting the heads of the two corpses. Their fragile necks could not withstand the force of the flying spears. The head was shot away and trampled into pieces by the endless undead army.

Ivo was sweating profusely, "What are you playing for? A zombie siege from another world?! Then give me some tools!"

Facing the terrifying corpse that could make the girl scream, Nafei acted very calmly. Although she was in danger, she did not lose her mind. After applying spellcasting concentration on herself, she calmly poured out a large amount of flame witchcraft to block the situation. The approach of the undead.

The undead army was like an approaching wall, trying to squeeze the two of them to death. With their strength, they couldn't break out.

The blessing tattoo of Elencia on the back of her hand suddenly became hot, and the low-level undead affinity began to take effect. Half of the undead stopped because of this. After half the number was reduced, the formation of the undead became slightly sparse.

Ivo felt happy and thought of a way. He suddenly squatted down and carried Nafei on his back.

Nafi was caught off guard and quickly threw her arms around Ivo's neck, saying angrily: "Put me down. You can't deal with so many undead by yourself. You will die without my help."

Ivo turned back and smiled: "Hold on tight, and... don't be afraid."

What's the meaning? Nafi was confused.

Ivo punched the ground with both fists and stood on all fours, like a beast. In Nafi's eyes, which turned from confusion to shock, his body suddenly swelled up like a balloon, his thick white hair grew wildly, and his back quickly became broad.

Nafi couldn't wrap her arms around Ivo's shoulders, so she could only hold on to the thick white hair to prevent herself from falling. When she looked carefully, she was shocked. Ivo turned into a five-meter-tall white bear, covered in frost. , with an unabashedly powerful aura, causing the undead around him to pause, as if they were a little afraid of Ivo.

Ivo sighed happily, which turned into a low roar in the white bear state, and a strong sense of power filled his body. This strength was three or four times stronger than before the transformation.

Ivo sighed, transformation is the Mimic's trump card.

"What's wrong with you?!" Nafei's tone was horrified.

Ivo wanted to speak, but the sound he made was still a roar of unknown meaning. He had no choice but to give up the idea. The top priority was to break out of the undead. After turning into a white bear, his vision broadened a lot and he saw the undead army. It's not endless. The formation becomes sparse a few hundred meters away. The streets in the direction of the blue light pillar are empty and there are no undead. He is ready to break out of the encirclement and go to the position of the blue light pillar.

The Ural White Bear runs on all fours, like a moving hill. Its huge body crushes and knocks away all the ghouls in the way. It is unstoppable and breaks through all the way. With the weight and strength of the Ural White Bear, these low-level ghouls cannot stop him at all. , like a rampaging steamroller.

Nafi lay on Ivo's back, rising and falling as he ran. She didn't expect that Ivo, who she got to know day and night, would hide such a secret. The shock in her heart at this time could not be described in words.

"Who are you? No, what race are you? Ursine? No, there is no such race."

Ivo remained silent, focusing on running.

Nafi couldn't get an answer, so she frowned and searched for knowledge in this area in her mind. However, Mimics had disappeared for hundreds of years, and there were not many records. She quickly thought of werewolves who could also transform.

Werewolves and Mimics are similar in that they can both transform into beasts, but werewolves only have the form of werewolves. No matter how pure their bloodline is, the transformed werewolves will only be stronger and more agile.

Mimics are different. As long as they live longer, Mimics can transform into more forms. This is a race full of particularities and uncertainties. Its potential is countless times higher than that of werewolves. Mimics were created. The original intention was to use one against a hundred war machines.

Mimics are the highest achievement of alchemy, transforming dead objects into life. Their blood is an extremely rare alchemical material. They are guilty of concealing it, so Ivo rarely shows his transformation ability in front of others. But Nafi was bound by a contract with him, and the situation was critical just now, so Ivo boldly used the transformation.

Fortunately, Nafi was thinking of another level: "Could it be that Ivo is a mutated werewolf who can transform into a bear?"

The more she thought about it, the more likely it was, and her doubts were reduced.

The Ural White Bear was running wildly, and a skeleton king suddenly appeared in front of him, six meters tall. Ivo hit it hard and staggered, but the momentum of the White Bear's charge was also stopped.

The Skeleton King smashed down with both fists, and the Ural White Bear blocked it with both palms. The collision of the two huge monsters formed a fierce wind, and the surrounding corpses were blown away.

The Skeleton King has a hard body and huge strength. It is at least a top-level bronze undead creature, and its strength is equivalent to a level 3 professional. However, after Ivo transformed, the increase in power he obtained can reach the war song level, and his strength skyrocketed.

The Ural White Bear pressed down on the Skeleton King and beat him wildly. The bear's paws repeatedly slapped the snow-white bones, creating cracks.

The surrounding ghouls began to attack, slashing at the bear's body with rusty weapons. Although the Ural White Bear had a tough body, the attacks of the ghouls gathered together, and wounds gradually appeared on Ivo's body.

Seeing this, Nafei tied herself with bear fur with cloth strips and fixed herself on Ivo's back. With her hands free to cast spells, large fireballs burst out. The corpses around were blown away by the explosion, and the surrounding area quickly became a The sea of ​​fire is extremely hot.

Bang, the bear's paw smashed the Skeleton King's head, allowing Lao De to absorb its soul fire. Ivo continued to sprint forward, and Nafei was like a turret, constantly blasting fireballs.

When the two of them work together, the flames burn wherever they go.

After killing countless corpses along the way, Ivo finally rushed to the blue light pillar.

There are no undead within a few hundred meters around the light pillar. It is a safe zone. It seems that a mysterious force has blocked the advance of the corpses. They form a circle from a distance and roar, and there is no danger for the time being.

Ivo transformed back into a human body, put on the leather armor that was retracted into the space, and breathed heavily. He maintained the transformation and fought with high intensity for half an hour, and more than half of his physical energy was consumed. Nafi had too many questions to ask, but when she saw Ivo He was covered in injuries and half-dead from exhaustion, so he suppressed his curiosity for the time being.

He panted for a while before he had time to observe the blue light beam. At first glance, his eyes almost popped out of his head, full of surprise.

The blue light pillar enveloped a hill made of colorful stones. These stones were all magic gems of different elements. A huge circular magic array was carved on the ground under the hill. The source of the blue light pillar was the magic array.

"Oh my god, so many magic gems!" Nafei exclaimed. Thousands of magic gems piled up into a mountain, which is extremely spectacular. A magic stone with the lowest purity requires tens of thousands of benas, and each magic stone here has The stones are all smooth, bright, colorful, and of extremely high purity. One stone costs more than hundreds of thousands of benas. If there are a thousand here, it is close to 100 million benas.

This is enough wealth to make anyone faint with excitement.

Nafi approached the blue light pillar and felt an invisible repulsive force that prevented her from getting within a hundred meters of the light pillar. She recognized the type of magic circle.

This magic circle is called "The Mysterious Lock of Paracelsus", or "Secret Lock" for short. It is a very famous anti-theft magic circle. The organizer will designate a certain item as the key to the secret lock. Only this kind of item can open it. Secret lock, as long as the caster keeps it secret, no one can know what the "key" is.

Paracelsus was a master in the history of alchemy. He lived for more than four hundred years and developed countless theories.

Items stored in the secret lock are almost impossible to steal. Once the secret lock is violently opened, cracks in the space will be torn out, and the items inside will be expelled into the turbulent flow of space and self-destruct.

The secret lock can be cracked by arcane calculations, eliminating the need for a key, but the amount of calculation required to crack the secret lock is astonishing. If you make one mistake, the secret lock will be automatically destroyed.

The more complex the secret lock, the higher the level. Advanced secret locks have amazing repulsive power and are more difficult to crack.

The blue beam of light is a high-level secret lock. Nafei can't even analyze the structure of the outermost magic circle. She can only see that this secret lock is divided into nine layers. The amount of calculations to crack is simply sky-breaking, and There could be no mistake, otherwise the secret lock would be destroyed automatically, which was beyond her ability, so she told Ivo what she knew.

Ivo searched nearby, hoping to find clues to the key to the secret lock, but found nothing. He sighed: "There is a time in life, but there is no time in life. Don't force it... Damn it, I must find the key, this But 100 million, 100 million!" At this point, his face turned red and he roared excitedly.

Although Ivo considered himself not a greedy person, he was not without desires either. Seeing such a huge fortune, he could not remain calm.

It's like finding a safe that you can't open, knowing that it contains a large amount of money and that the safe is ownerless.

"Found you!"

At this time, the figure of the red-haired female leader appeared in the other direction. Her murderous eyes stared at Ivo, whose face changed slightly. She glanced to the side and saw the magic stones piled up into a hill. She was stunned for a moment, her eyes A look of greed erupted in his heart.

"These things all belong to us Baria!"

The red-haired female leader jumped up and rushed towards the two of them, bringing up a golden-red afterimage.

"Why is the world so small?! If you encounter it, you will encounter it!" Ivo felt the extreme danger, and directly threw out two afterimage clones, restrained the red-haired female leader, pulled Nafi and turned around to run away.

Ivo is not afraid of facing strong enemies, but when there is no chance of winning, he will never show strength. When the tiger's body is shaken and the small universe explodes, there is a limit to leapfrog and fight back. The red-haired female leader is not even a bit stronger than Kalilban.

Brushing, the golden-red sword energy cut off the two afterimage clones. The red-haired female leader was like an erupting female leopard, running towards Ivo and the two at a speed several times their speed. Ivo poured all his power into his legs, He accelerated as hard as he could, but the distance was still shrinking.

As she got closer, the red-haired female leader drew out her dagger, and a golden-red triangle sword energy rubbed the ground and slashed towards Nafei's back. The weak Nafei was as helpless as a white rabbit under a wolf's claws.

Ivo gritted his teeth, picked up Nafi from the waist while running wildly, and used his partially transformed back to bear the slashing blow. The blood exploded like red fireworks, and a 30-centimetre-long hideous wound appeared on his back. , the spine is looming in the flesh.

Ivo suffered a heavy blow, his vision blurred for a moment, his feet went weak and he almost fell. He gritted his teeth, and the frost fire ignited on his back, freezing the wound to prevent him from bleeding to death.

Ivo kept walking and bumped into a group of ghouls. Undead Affinity activated its effect again. The ghouls did not attack Ivo, but turned to attack the red-haired female leader who was chasing them, stopping her.

The red-haired female leader danced wildly with her sword energy, tearing apart groups of ghouls. These ghouls could not stop her. She continued to chase, getting closer and closer. She was less than ten meters away from Ivo. Ivo suppressed his despair. , the devil apostle form is ready to move, even if the strength gap is huge, he will not sit still.

Suddenly, a flaming bird swept over, so hot it seemed to burn the air dry, and headed straight for the red-haired female leader. All the corpses it encountered along the way were turned into charred ashes in a matter of seconds.

The red-haired female leader used flexible backflips to avoid the firebirds, and said solemnly: "It's you again! Damn the night watchman!"

Not far away, Norrington came here with the Templar Knights. He saw the magic stone hill in the blue light beam at a glance, with a look of surprise and covetation on his face. Then he looked at the red-haired female leader and said coldly: " Heretics, be reduced to ashes in my flames!"

"As long as the heretics are killed, this ruins will belong to the Holy See. A large number of magicians from the Holy See will definitely be able to open the secret lock. All this wealth belongs to the Holy See!" Norrington thought to himself.

The red-haired female leader was blocked from chasing, and Ivo's figure disappeared into the group of corpses. She gritted her teeth and let Ivo go for the time being, focusing on dealing with the powerful enemy in front of her.

The flames and the golden-red sword energy burst out and collided fiercely, turning into a sea of ​​​​fire.

…

Ivo found a safe alley and collapsed to the ground.

"Ivo, don't die!"

Nafi anxiously took out various healing potions and applied them on Ivo's wounds.

She could feel half of Ivo's pain, and she almost fainted from the pain. She couldn't imagine how strong his willpower was to endure the severe pain and carry her out for more than ten miles.

Nafi knew that Ivo blocked her sword out of rational considerations. If he hit Ivo, he would be injured at most, but if he hit her, he would be killed. But even so, she was still moved.

Ivo forced himself to wake up. After a while, the healing potion took effect, and his spirit perked up slightly. He hissed and said, "It will take three days for Sandhiti to be closed. There are still a lot of undead troubles outside. It's just the right time to throw it to The Templars will deal with the red-haired woman, let's find a place to rest for a day, and wait until I recover from my injuries before moving on."

Under the influence of the healing potion and his huge vitality, the injury recovered quickly, and one day was enough for him to regain most of his combat effectiveness.

The two entered an empty sand house. Nafi used witchcraft to seal the doors and windows to prevent the undead from entering. The two recuperated in the house.

…

There is eternal daylight in the ruins space. Without night, it is difficult to feel the passage of time.

The battle in front of the blue light pillar lasted for a long time. After Jones arrived to join the battle, the red-haired female leader decisively ran away. She cursed secretly, feeling that these Templars had taken the wrong medicine and were chasing her like crazy.

She couldn't let go of the wealth in the treasure house, her eyes flashed, and she said secretly: "It was Ivo who opened the ruins. Maybe he has the key. As long as I catch him and force him to get the key, the treasure house will still be mine."

After the red-haired female leader made her decision, she temporarily hid herself and searched for Ivo in secret. She believed that Ivo was injured by her and would never be able to escape.

…

In front of the blue treasure house, Norrington tried many methods, but could not figure out the structure of the secret lock. He irritably bombarded it with fireballs. After the thick smoke dissipated, the secret lock remained unscathed.

When it comes to magical research, magicians are not as good as wizards.

Norrington thought for a while, took out a special messenger badge for the church, and communicated with Lasces Cathedral. After a while, the voice of the Archbishop of Lasces Cathedral came from the badge: "This is a ninth-level senior I have sent the structural records of the secret lock to the Holy Land headquarters, and the Cardinal has summoned the archmages of the Holy Land to crack it. It only takes three days to open the secret lock."

Norrington smiled with satisfaction.

Norrington did not stop and led people towards the other two treasure troves. Since the Holy See was behind them to help crack the secret locks of the other two treasuries, it was no problem.

In just three days, all the treasures in this ruins of the ancestors will become the property of the church. But he does not know that the time flow rate in this ruins is abnormal. Three days in the main world is equal to nine days in the ruins. , and the ruins will only be open for three days.

He was immersed in his beautiful fantasy, and suddenly thought of a question: "But... where has Balzac gone? Why is there no news yet?"

(I have to sort out the outline today, there are only two updates, and there will be one update in the evening - PS: There are so many words, but it is actually about the same as the third update)
