LOL: In order to survive, I tricked Lissandra at the beginning

Outside Xiongdu, the Forbidden Magic Forest.

A flaming meteor streaked across the blue sky and fell directly into the vast gray-white forest.

There was no big explosion as expected, only a flowing flame that slowly condensed as if it had life.

"I feel it, the rune fluctuations come from here."

The flame gradually condensed into a human shape, and a dull male voice came from it.

His whole body was burning with flames, like a demon walking out of purgatory.

This strange creature walked straight to a big pit in front.

If Aidil was here, he would immediately understand that this pit was caused by Galio falling from a high altitude, and he would also be able to recognize the identity of this strange creature.

Vengeful Flame Soul-Brand!

Brand first stood on the edge of the pit and stared for a long time, then stretched out a hand, and a ball of fire shot out from his hand.

Boom!

The bursting energy and scorching heat instantly melted the bottom of the pit, revealing an empty and dark cellar.

"Yes, it's here!"

Brand said excitedly, and he turned into a ball of flame and flew straight into the cellar.

But when he came here, he saw only five empty gray-white stone pillars.

"Where is the rune? Why did the breath disappear instantly when it got here?"

Brand looked around and roared angrily.

After scanning the circle, he did not find the world rune he had been thinking about, and finally he looked at the five gray-white stone pillars in front of him.

He walked forward, stretched out a hand and touched it, and felt it carefully.

Soon he felt the power of the rune in the stone pillar, and at the same time his own magic power was also absorbed by the stone pillar in front of him.

Brand looked at the other four stone pillars, and then tried to feel them one by one.

Finally, he confirmed one thing, that is, there are a total of four world runes stored here.

Those stone pillars have the function of absorbing magic. Because they have been storing world runes for a long time, they are contaminated with a lot of rune aura.

Brand stood there and pondered for a while, and finally he seemed to figure out something.

"Is it Ryze? He hid the world rune here, and used the power of these stones to shield the energy fluctuations of the rune and conceal my perception.

It's a pity that I came a step late. Someone has already taken the lead here, and the person who came has a deep understanding of rune magic. He can actually hide the aura of the rune perfectly. Did Ryze take it away himself?"

It's not Brand's fault for thinking too much, because in his cognition, only Ryze has such a high attainment in runes and can hide the energy fluctuations of runes by his own power.

"That's not right! If it was Ryze, he couldn't let me find this place with his means. He doesn't seem to be a person who would make such a low-level mistake as leaking aura." Brand was a little confused.

He looked at the four magic-forbidden stone pillars in front of him, and his heart was suddenly furious. His body was blazing with flames, as if it was in response to his heart at the moment.

He missed the world rune that he had been thinking about, which made him feel extremely angry, and at the same time he hated Ryze.

He had been looking for it for hundreds of years! In the end, it was hidden here?

If it was taken back by Ryze, he could accept it, but the key is that the rune may have been taken by a lucky guy first!

It feels like you have bought lottery tickets for ten years and never won the prize, but your friend won the prize the first time you bought it!

Brand's heart was extremely unbalanced at the moment, and he had endless anger in his heart that he wanted to vent.

For a moment, the flames on his body were like bubbling magma, and it seemed that it would erupt out of control at any time.

"Ah!"

Accompanied by an angry roar, the entire cellar was shrouded in a layer of flames, and it seemed to have turned into a volcanic cave, with flames raging everywhere.

If it weren't for the five magic-forbidden stone pillars in the center, perhaps this place would have turned into a sea of ​​​​molten lava in an instant.

Until the flames in the cave gradually dissipated, Brand turned into a flame and flew out of the cave.

......

"How is it? Have you found any clues? Who made the pit here?"

A commander wearing the uniform of the Demon Hunter Corps asked his subordinates in front of him.

His eyes were fixed on a huge deep pit not far ahead.

Although this place is remote, the abnormality here was quickly discovered by the Demon Hunters as time went by.

"Captain, this deep pit seems to be formed by some heavy object falling from a high altitude, and the bottom seems to have been bombed by magic. It should be caused by humans."A demon hunter reported to the demon hunter chief respectfully.

"Man-made? Was it a wizard?"

The chief asked again: "Did you find anything in that cave?"

"No, there is only an empty cave inside, and a few stone pillars made of forbidden magic stone, which looks like a basement for storing treasures.

However, there are melting pits everywhere on the walls and the ground, as if they were burned by high temperatures. The preliminary judgment is that it should be caused by magic, and it is an extremely powerful fire magic, which almost covers the entire cave." The demon hunter replied seriously.

Hearing this, the chief was also a little shocked, because he had seen that cave, and its area was at least several hundred square meters.

With his qualifications, he has also seen many scenes of wizards taking action, but no wizard has ever released magic covering such a large area.

He immediately realized that there should be an extremely powerful wizard hidden near Xiongdu.

Thinking of this, the demon hunter chief suppressed his uneasiness and asked again: "Have you found any other clues?"

The demon hunter in charge of the report shook his head and said: "No, because the magic affected a wide range, so many clues in the cave were destroyed."

"Is that so."

The chief felt a little disappointed. He stood there, staring at the huge pit, as if thinking about something.

"Who are you? Don't get close here, leave quickly."

A warning suddenly attracted the attention of the demon hunter chief.

He looked over and saw a black-robed man running quickly towards here outside the cordon, and the demon hunter who found him was warning him with a vigilant face.

The demon hunter chief narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the black-robed man in front of him.

Perhaps because of the fast running, the other party's black robe was slightly blown up by a gust of wind, revealing the purple skin hidden under the black robe.

"Beware! Enemy attack! Mage suspected!"

The chief demon hunter quickly realized something was wrong and shouted.

Soon, everyone put down their work, organized their formation, and looked vigilantly at the invading black-robed man in front.

"I have no ill intentions, I just want to go over and take a look." Ryze's low and anxious voice came from under the black robe.

But his words did not work at all. The demon hunter team in front of him still looked at him vigilantly, and even took out weapons made of forbidden magic stone.

"Take off the black robe and surrender. We need to investigate your identity. Now we suspect that you are a demon-tainted person." The chief demon hunter shouted in the middle of the formation.

Of course, Ryze could not surrender. He was anxious at the moment and just wanted to confirm whether the runes he collected were still there, but he didn't want to waste time with the group of people in front of him.

Although he knew in his heart that the runes had probably fallen into the hands of others, Ryze still held a glimmer of luck in his heart.

"Hey!"

After a light sigh, Ryze stretched out a hand from under his black robe.

With just one glance, the chief demon hunter saw a blue light flashing on the opponent's hand. He was very familiar with this strange halo.

"Be careful! He is going to use magic! Raise your shield!"

Accompanied by the chief demon hunter's shout, all the demon hunters took out a gray-white stone shield from behind. It was made of forbidden magic stone and could block a certain degree of magic attack.

The shields were neatly arranged together in formation, forming a gray-white solid barrier.

This level of forbidden magic defense line, let alone a mage, even the bombardment of an entire mage group would be difficult to break in a short time.

And in fact, it was true.

There was light condensing in Ryze's hand, and the magic ball condensed by arcane energy flew out of his hand.

Spells surge!

The brilliant blue ball of magic bombarded the gray-white hard barrier like a cannonball.

In an instant, a dazzling white light burst out in the field, and the eyelids of all the demon hunters seemed to be pierced by silver needles.

They closed their eyes at the same time, and tears could not stop flowing from the corners of their eyes.

As the magic-forbidden stone shields in their hands took effect, the white light in the field was rapidly fading.

No one was injured, as if the attack just now was a child's play.

In this regard, Ryze looked calm, as if everything had been expected.

While the light blocked everyone's vision, he released runes from his feet that spread from the ground to the opposite side.

Soon, those runes formed a large magic circle like vivid little snakes that enveloped everyone.

"What is this?!"

When the white light dissipated, all the demon hunters found the magic runes surrounding them.

They looked at all this in horror, wanting to escape.Among them.

But at this moment, the runes suddenly lit up, forming a series of light curtains that trapped everyone inside.

Rune confinement!

"Not good!"

The chief of the demon hunters immediately realized that the person in front of them was far beyond the ordinary magicians they had dealt with before.

The opponent's strength far exceeded their imagination and their scope of response.

He looked at dozens of people covered by the light curtain, and the rune light under his feet became brighter and brighter, and a sense of despair suddenly arose in his heart.

It's over!

He had imagined the scene where the magic on the ground exploded and all the dozens of people present were blown into blood.

Swish!

The magic fluctuations on the ground reached their peak in an instant, and a white light enveloped everyone.

But the imagined scene of corpses everywhere did not appear, and all the demon hunters disappeared in this white light.

This is exactly Ryze's space magic - warp jump!

He moved all the magic hunters away, leaving only a pile of shields and protective gear made of forbidden magic stones.

After doing all this, Ryze took off his hood, revealing a vicissitudes of life.

Without any hesitation, he quickly ran to the big pit in front and found the underground secret room where he had stored the world rune.

"Sure enough, the rune is gone!"

Ryze stood in the underground room, as if he was hit by a spell, staring at the five empty forbidden magic stone pillars in front of him. At that moment, he seemed to have aged a lot.

"Who is it? Who took the rune?"

Ryze's voice trembled a little. He was afraid that the leakage and loss of the rune would bring uncontrollable and terrible consequences. In that case, he would become a sinner.

His eyes scanned the surroundings coldly like a wolf, trying to find all the clues of the thieves.

Unfortunately, there were no clues in the cave, only traces of burning and destruction by fire magic.

He felt a familiar breath on it, and he would never forget it in his life.

It was left by his former disciple and now enemy, the vengeful flame soul - Brand.

"Has Brand been here?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Ryze's eyes. He didn't know whether the rune was taken by the other party, but he knew one thing, that is, he had to confirm it. If so, he had to stop the other party.
