The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After recovering some psychic energy, Leo tried to cast one of the dark attacks called Soul Flame. As he used the psychic energy according to the method in his mind, a purple-black mass gradually condensed on his left hand. flames.

Although it was a flame, it couldn't feel any warmth. Instead, it gave people an extremely cold feeling. This coldness was not just a feeling, because at the moment the flame appeared, a layer of frost condensed on the ground around it.

However, this is not the real power of the soul flame. According to the knowledge about dark arts acquired by Leo, when the soul flame is strong to a certain level, it can directly attack the ethereal soul, and the power has no end, because there are more than a hundred kinds of dark arts. In the art, there are more than 30 kinds of dark arts related to Soul Flame, the most powerful of which can even cause damage to Omega-level advanced life forms according to Leo's estimation, which means that the dark art of Soul Flame can also be regarded as strategic level.

It's a pity that soul flames are not directly cast through spiritual energy like thunder guns. The power of soul flames is directly related to soul crystal stones. For soul flames that can cause damage to omega-level high-level life forms, then a soul flame that comes from The soul crystal stone of an Omega-level advanced life form, so this soul flame seems a bit tasteless.

Now Leo can think of the most suitable place to use the soul flame, which is to integrate it into the soul bonfire trap, use the soul bonfire trap to make soul crystal stones, maintain the power of the soul flame, attack the living body that enters the trap, and make up for the soul bonfire trap For the defect of weak attack power of the living body, the complementarity is insufficient.

In addition to the defect of the soul crystal stone, Leo also discovered another defect, that is, he can only use the left hand fused with the snake eye of the abyss to perform the dark art of soul flame, or more correctly, all dark arts It can only be cast with the left hand, even though the right hand is also a part of the body, it cannot be cast. And perhaps because of the eyeballs of the abyss serpent, whether it is psionic energy or other powers cast with the left hand, some power will inevitably be weakened, but some other powers will infiltrate, some may come from the abyss, making the cast out Psionic skills and sorcery have become somewhat different.

After a little understanding of the characteristics of dark art, Leo did not continue to try, but while quietly cultivating, he thought in his mind how to integrate dark art into his combat system, and how to avoid it without affecting his own. Under the premise, let the power of the dark technique be maximized.

I don't know how long it took, but when Leo felt that his body had almost recovered, he stopped thinking, stood up, picked up the scepter of the fire girl, walked out of the small hall, and returned to the prayer hall the same way.

Although the human pus was absorbed by the snake eyes, Leo could no longer use the human pus as a disguise, but the snake eyes of the abyss serpent were obviously more advanced. At that time, not only did those monsters not attack him, but they avoided him in fear, as if he was the incarnation of terror.

With the protection of Snake Eye, Leo returned to the prayer hall in a shorter time.

The bonfire in the prayer hall was still burning, and it was obvious that more fuel from the heart of the ancient war tree would be of great help to keep the flame burning.

Leo walked up to the bonfire, raised his hand and directly inserted the scepter in his hand into the bonfire.

As the fire girl's scepter and the bonfire were connected together, a ray of light emanated from the sun symbol on the top of the scepter, and went straight to the sky, but after reaching a certain height, it suddenly seemed to be blocked by an invisible mirror. The direction of Arnoel Londe at the top of the royal city was refracted, and then, the sky that was originally day turned into night without any warning, and there was no starlight in the night, only a round of cold silver moon suspended in front of the sun. position.

Although the change in the sky surprised Leo, it did not cause Leo too much shock and surprise, because Leo had already guessed that the daytime scene in Wangcheng was just an illusion, and now it just confirmed his previous belief. Speculation, but the process of confirmation was a bit unexpected.

At this moment, the fire-proof female scepter in the bonfire has returned to normal, but the sun emblem above the scepter is still shining with bursts of light, and it shines quite frequently, as if it is some kind of signal.

The change of the scepter and the sky did not have any effect on Leo. After he confirmed that the scepter showed no signs of continuing to change, he turned around and left the prayer hall, and returned to the temple area by the same route. The secret passage to the upper ancient city was found in the base of the base, and after finding nothing abnormal, they walked into this secret passage for three people to walk in parallel.

Just when Leo entered the secret passage, three figures appeared in the ruins of the prayer hall. These three figures were all wearing different armors, one was wearing a simple but very eye-catching brass armor, and the other One is wearing a silver-white gorgeous armor, and the other is a stone helmet armor, and all the armor covers their faces and bodies, and their appearance cannot be seen, only from their huge figures of more than six meters, Judging that they are all non-human.

Among them, the man in brass armor walked to the bonfire, squatted down slightly, and reached out to touch the sun emblem above the scepter. The sun emblem immediately burst into dazzling light, illuminating the entire ruins of the prayer hall, and then What happened in this prayer hall was re-interpreted in the form of phantom fast-forward. After about half an hour passed, the image finally froze at the moment when Leo inserted the scepter into the bonfire.

At this time, the three soldiers walked to Leo's phantom, squatted down and looked at Leo carefully. Finally, it can be seen from the moving positions of the three helmets that their eyes all fell on Leo's left hand. .

I saw that in this illusion, Leo's left hand was completely different from other body parts, and turned into a strange hand with snake eyes on the back and a black oil-like substance on the surface.

After the illusion dissipated, the three soldiers stood up, took a look at each of them, then nodded tacitly, and then left from different directions and entered the streets of the lower urban area. All the living corpses and monsters blocking their way were like It was harvested by them like weeds, and they searched every place carefully, as if they were looking for Leo, but they didn't know that the target they were looking for was no longer in the lower urban area, and they were passing through secret passages, bypassing Through the sacred gate, enter the upper ancient city.

At this time, Leo, who came out of the secret passage, slapped the dust on his body, turned around, looked at the exit of the secret passage, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Although there were some living corpses in the secret passage, it did not cause any trouble to Leo. The biggest trouble for him was that the secret passage was a maze. It took him a lot of time to find the way to the upper ancient city. .

At first, the excavators of this secret passage may have just created a shortcut for the priests in the upper ancient city to go to the lower city to relax, but it is clear that later people no longer just regard it as a simple secret passage. Some people built it into a private space belonging to the priests, and opened up more than one shortcut to different areas of the royal city.

Just like Leo took the wrong path just now, and ended up in the underground cemetery below the royal city.

According to the information in that manual, the underground cemetery is a special existence in the royal city, and it is the kingdom of the dead. Catacombs.

After the dead are buried in the catacombs, they will be resurrected according to their identities and become members of the kingdom of the dead. Ordinary people will become skeleton warriors, while the descendants of gods will become servants of death. They will all serve the incarnation of death deep in the catacombs in front of the seat.

What is the incarnation of death in the catacombs? No one knows, even the gods, they don’t know much. They just know that there is a mysterious existence in the catacombs that cannot be talked about in words. The status of this existence is the same as that of God King Gwen. It will not be inferior to others just because it is under the royal city.

The moment Leo entered the catacombs, he encountered some skeleton warriors.

Obviously those skeleton warriors were not polluted by the power of the abyss, so the snake eye in the left hand could not stop the attack of these skeleton warriors.

It's just that these skeleton warriors are not very powerful in Lei Nuo's eyes. Except for their fearless fighting style, they are slightly inferior to ordinary human warriors in other aspects.

But these skeleton warriors still caused some troubles for Leo at the first moment, because even if Leo broke up these skeleton warriors, the skeleton warriors would still recover quickly, and there was no recovery limit, which made it obvious that they were only very The dozen or so skeleton warriors who were easy to deal with gave Leo the illusion of being in a battlefield with infinite enemies.

However, things changed soon. The mark of the web weaver on Leo's body suddenly activated automatically. Every time Leo killed the skeleton warrior, an invisible net would be formed to cover the skeleton warrior, as if fishing Generally, he grabbed some special things on the skeleton warrior and took them back into the imprint.

With the help of the Mark of the Web Weaver, Leo easily solved the skeleton warriors who had caused him trouble just now.

While the Skeleton Warrior was dealt with, the Mark of the Web Weaver didn't stop working. It seemed to be alive, and it kept passing a direction to Leo, urging him to move towards that direction, but that direction was in the underground cemetery The lowest level of the Abyss.

Leo guessed that the reason why the mark of the Weaver of the Web appeared abnormal at this time was probably because he had sensed the mysterious death breath in the depths of the underground cemetery. Like the power you get.

Although the Mark of the Weaver of the Web kept sending out urging messages, Leo was not swayed by the Mark of the Weaver of the Web. He chose the same path and retreated into the passage.

He is very clear and does not say whether he can successfully enter the deepest part of the underground cemetery, even if he reaches the deepest part and meets the real owner of the death kingdom of the catacombs, he still has no intention of leaving, because either the god of death Gain did not appear , he has to face this mysterious existence alone, or the god of death Gain has appeared, and he is involved in this battle that may involve Omega-level advanced life forms. Either way, he was dead, so he quickly made the wisest choice, retreating to the secret shortcut and leaving the catacombs.

Afterwards, he successfully found the correct path leading to the upper ancient city, and finally came to the upper ancient city, but when he left the passage, he felt as if he had lost the most important thing, which made him yearn for something. The urge to walk back, to revisit the catacombs.

Leo knew very well that this sense of loss did not stem from his own emotions, but was affected by the mark of the Web Weaver, but it still had some impact on him.

In the end, Leo got rid of this influence, turned his eyes away from the exit of the passage, and turned his head to look around.

Perhaps because he knew that the image could not influence Leo's decision, the Mark of the Web Weaver no longer had the power to affect Leo's mind, and fell silent again.

Leo ignored the web weaver's mark, and his attention was all on the ancient city of Wangcheng within the city wall.

The exit of the secret passage is in a tower with a high wall. Looking out from the window of the tower, you can see the entire ancient city.

However, after seeing the current situation in the ancient city, Leo couldn't help but frown, because the situation here seems to be a little different from the information he read in that booklet. Although many places in the ancient city are dilapidated, the buildings are still relatively intact.

But now the ancient city in front of him is in ruins, there are ruins everywhere, and there are only a handful of buildings that can be called complete. Judging from the remaining traces of these ruins, it is obvious that this place has experienced a great war, and the war Both sides are very powerful, at least above level seven psykers,

He doesn't care about what happened in the ancient city, who is fighting who here, and so on. What he cares about is whether the passage to return to Yamu Island still exists.

So after he checked the surrounding situation through his sight, he began to find out the location of the passage through perception.

In fact, before entering the royal city, Leo had already sensed it, but the content of his perception was very vague at that time. He just thought that the passage to Yam Island should be in the royal city, but now as he formally entered the ancient city, The previously vague perception immediately became clear.

Through this clear feeling, he quickly found the exact location of the passage, and this location happened to be in the only well-preserved very large stone palace in the entire ancient city.

From the information in the book, Leo learned that the building was actually the place where the god-born fighters rested and trained, and it was also the most dangerous place in the entire ancient city, where they were most likely to encounter some big troubles, because there were also god-born soldiers in the book. The soldiers were still alive, and their location happened to be in the palace that he now regarded as his target.
