On the battlefield filled with smoke, the dark red roots emitting a faint luster around the white walls and the rising blazing flames complemented each other, creating a scorching and weird scene everywhere, as if doomsday had come.
The giant ice bridge filled with cold air had just been built on the top of the city wall. With a gust of wind passing by, Lei Xiao and other main force warriors were already standing on the city wall amid shouts of killing.
Just now, Ariel, who was able to directly contact Shirley and others, suddenly sent a message.
That is, Shirley and others are currently in the inner city, and have successfully escaped from the opponent's confinement, and are ready to support us from inside the city at any time, which led to the scene just now.
"Your Majesty (Your Highness)!"
Shirley and Thor, who were waiting there, came over immediately, both with excited looks on their faces.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness. We fell into the trap by mistake, which caused Your Highness great trouble."
Thor's resolute face was full of embarrassment, and he smiled awkwardly at Lei Xiao.
"Your Majesty, King Yongwu, you are too polite. It is precisely because you have penetrated deep into the enemy camp that we have been able to arrive here smoothly."
Lei Xiao waved his hand to instruct the warriors to clear a path forward, and nodded to Thor and Shirley, saying, "Thanks to you this time."
Hearing this, Thor and Shirley's faces were filled with excitement and fighting spirit.
"Oh, Lord, there is one more thing."
Shirley seemed to remember something, and immediately invited a skinny, white-haired old man to come over.
I saw that the other person was wearing tattered clothes, with a wrinkled old face full of vicissitudes of life. Judging from his pale and bloodless appearance, it was obvious that he had been imprisoned for a long time.
But it can be clearly seen that the old man's face is also full of kindness and gentleness, which is completely different from those powerful people in the Temple of Light who are filled with hostility.
"My Lord, this is Archbishop Lorenz."
Shirley nodded to Lei Xiao and introduced: "It was because of his help that our subordinates were able to successfully leave the dungeon where we were heavily imprisoned."
"I have met His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince. Thank you for coming to stop the Holy Temple of Light at this critical moment. Otherwise, the Holy Temple of Light will surely become a sinner in the human world!"
An irrepressible gratitude welled up on Lorenz's old face. He knelt on one knee and said to Lei Xiao: "I beg His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince to put an end to all this, so that the Temple of Light will no longer be shrouded in darkness!"
"No need to be so polite, old sir. Instead, I should thank you for your help."
Lei Xiao bent down and helped the skinny old man up, smiling and said: "This is exactly the purpose of my leading the army here, and it is also the common goal of everyone here."
"Lorenz?"
Gray Old Man and Jonil, who rushed to Lei Xiao's side one after another, saw this scene and both showed surprised expressions on their faces. It was obvious that they knew each other.
Jonil came close to him and said with surprise, "This aura and energy fluctuations are indeed correct. The Temple of Light announced that you had fallen a hundred years ago. I didn't expect that you, an old fellow, are still alive!"
"It is my honor to see you again."
Lorenz's old face was full of bitterness. He shook his head helplessly and said, "A hundred years ago, I accidentally discovered that His Majesty Ganelon IX was behaving abnormally. After a detailed observation, I confirmed that the other party was not the real Majesty, but a mysterious substitute."
"The most important thing is that I have discovered that most of the cardinal members of the main hall have been bewitched by the mysterious substitute and have become his most loyal followers."
"And the mysterious replacement soon noticed my abnormality. After failing to persuade me, he threw me, who had attempted to make all this public, into the dungeon."
At this point, Lorenz clenched his old fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "I didn't expect that when I returned to the ground again, Glowing City would turn into a purgatory-like state!"
"So that mysterious being didn't rise to the top position quietly, but eliminated all dissidents?"
Joniel nodded thoughtfully and said, "It seems that the other party kept you here today because they wanted to use you as nutrients. After all, you were known as the half-step sixth-level strongman who was closest to the sixth-level palace in the human world."
After that, Joniel swallowed another potion and frowned, saying, "Old friend, this is a serious matter. Please let me check you first to see if there is anything abnormal with you."
While Joniel was busy, Lei Xiao learned more through Gray Old's introduction.
It turns out that this old man named Lorenz was once a member of the Cardinal Council of the Temple of Light. Not only did he hold a high position, but he also had the important task of protecting the temple.
"In this case, things are very clear. Shirley's illusion technique is superb. With Lorenz's help, it is not surprising that she can leave the opponent's dungeon."
Just as Lei Xiao was thinking about this, Joniel had already come closer and nodded to Lei Xiao, saying, "Your Highness, I have used many methods to check and found that Lorenz does not carry any curse. It is indeed him."
"Thank you for your hard work in meeting President Neil."
Lei Xiao nodded, and immediately refocused his attention on the battlefield, and ordered: "Shirley, Your Majesty the King of Bravery, the task of clearing and blocking these enemy troops is left to you. I will lead my men to continue moving deeper into the city."
"As ordered!"
After receiving Lei Xiao's order, both of them took action immediately.
"Your Highness, I will be the one leading the way."
Lorenz came close to Lei Xiao and said with determination: "Now this place has fallen into the abyss. Even if the power is insignificant, I still want to ignite a little light here."
"Then I'll leave it to you, old man."
Looking at the other person's determined old face, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, took out a set of high-level equipment and several healing potions and handed them to the other person.
With the help of this unexpected person who is familiar with the terrain, we will undoubtedly be able to get deeper into the lair of the mysterious existence more quickly.
After that, Lei Xiao held Rolandel high and waved his hand, saying, "The main force and the strong group, follow me. It's time to tear the curtain of darkness and return the light to this land!"
Hearing Lei Xiao's high-spirited shout, all the strong men responded one after another, and their morale was extremely high.
Just when everyone of us was ready to go, a voice filled with murderous intent came from all directions.
"You despicable scum from another world, don't think that everything will be fine just by breaking through the absolute defense barrier. I will never let you pass!"
As the grim voice fell, Gustav, whose momentum suddenly surged, stopped in front of everyone and said gloomily: "Today, all of you will die here!"
After saying that, gray mist surged around Gustav’s skinny body.
As the thick dark gray fog spread, the originally solid scene around began to become illusory, and quickly transformed into a distorted and bizarre unfamiliar scene. This was exactly the scene when the illusion was about to take shape.
The most crucial thing is that Gustava's illusion fog just blocked our way forward, causing the originally smooth road to fall into darkness again.
"Oh no, this guy is performing a sixth-level illusion!"
Feeling the overwhelming and vast momentum sweeping over him, Gray Old was shocked and couldn't help but blurt out.
Hearing the sound, all of our warriors involuntarily took a step back, their faces filled with fear.
This undoubtedly means that no one on our side will be able to escape the opponent's illusion.
"He just used some forbidden secret method to temporarily increase his strength, yet he still brazenly claimed that he could stop everyone!"
Shirley stood in front of Lei Xiao, her fair face full of solemnity as she said, "My Lord, leave this to me. No one can successfully perform an illusion in front of the Phantom Spirit Clan!"
After saying that, a light grey mist also burst out from Shirley's body and quickly spread around.
Wherever Shirley's light mist went, the distorted space instantly returned to its original state, making the way forward reappear in front of our strong men.
However, the opponent's reaction was also extremely quick, and he began to suppress Shirley's shallow mist.
For a moment, two streams of fog, one deep and one shallow, devoured and squeezed each other, making it difficult to tell which was higher.
"Shirley, I'll leave it to you then."
Lei Xiao nodded to the Phantom Priest, and then ordered the strong men: "Let's go!"
After saying that, while the two were in a stalemate, Lei Xiao and his group flew out and headed straight towards the depths of the inner city.
Under the guidance of old Lorenz, the group passed several magic towers and small fortresses and soon arrived in front of a majestic group of pure white buildings.
Every building here is exceptionally tall and huge. The pure white stone pillars and pure white wall carvings on the outside of the buildings complement each other, showing their sacredness and elegance.
Apart from the ancient ruins and divinely favored places of alien races, Lei Xiao had never seen a complex of buildings with such high artistic attainments in the human world.
However, with black fog covering the sky and countless dark red roots wreaking havoc, all that was once sacred and elegant is now only desolate and weird.
During this process, Lei Xiao further noticed that
The surroundings were still filled with the shouts of soldiers, and from time to time one could see scenes of fierce fighting, which was deafening.
This undoubtedly meant that the Cold Flame kings and strong men of all generations were leading their respective legions to fight hard around them to stop the enemy forces that intended to interfere with their operations.
"Your Highness, this is the main hall of the Temple of Light."
Looking at the devastated and mottled scene, Lorenz's old voice was filled with sorrow, and his old eyes were full of gloom as he said, "This place is much worse than I imagined."
"Don't worry, old man. No matter how long the night is, dawn will eventually come."
Lei Xiao nodded to Lorenz and said, "Let's move on."
"Your Highness, please wait a moment."
Lorenz frowned and sensed for a moment, then said to Lei Xiao solemnly, "Since ancient times, this place has been filled with all kinds of hard-to-detect deadly magic traps. Please be careful and follow me. Don't fall behind. At the same time, please don't be careless. You don't know how many new troubles have been added here in the past hundred years."
"No wonder there are no strong enemy guards here. I'll trouble you, old man."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, then took out a bunch of manifestation scrolls given to him by Theresa and began to distribute them.
Gray Old Man and Jonil, who had been at the front of the team, also showed their abilities and cooperated with the old bishop to lead the way.
As expected, under the detection of the two sixth-level warriors and our revelation scroll, although the old bishop took the smoothest route, there were hidden mysteries from time to time, which could be described as murderous intent at every step.
Fortunately, we had a safe journey and finally arrived at a giant temple.
"So, this is the main hall of the Temple of Light?"
Lei Xiao looked up at the huge pure white building in front of him and frowned.
Judging from the appearance alone, it is even larger than the ruins of the temple of the light elves.
"That's right, Your Highness. The exterior is just a facade. The interior of the main hall is much larger."
Old Lorenz did not hide anything and nodded to Lei Xiao, saying, "In fact, there is an ancient underground city underground here, which is the core of the main hall of the Temple of Light."
"I've heard that Radiant City was built on the ruins of an ancient human kingdom. It seems that this is not groundless."
Joniel gently stroked his chin and asked, "Old friend, how many traps and obstacles are hidden in this?"
"It wasn't often when I was guarding the main hall. After all, no one dared to challenge the majesty here. But now it is unknown."
Lorenz's old face showed helplessness, and he responded, "However, I know the way to the depths of the main hall, and that must be the lair of that mysterious existence."
While Joniel and Lorenz were talking, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
This situation is undoubtedly very similar to the underground city of Huangyao City. In addition, there is a part missing there due to the "misplaced objects" effect. Perhaps this place is also part of the Silver Fire Kingdom.
"In short, please be vigilant. After all, the miracle building of the Temple of Light is also located deep underground."
At this moment, Lorenz's old voice once again reached Lei Xiao's ears: "If the other party completely controls the Miracle Building, our situation will become even more unfavorable."
As Lorenz spoke, he took a step forward and arrived in front of the stone gate of the giant temple.
I saw the magical light on the surface of the gate continuing for a long time, and it was obviously sealed with many solid absolute defense barriers.
"Each of these barriers is at the sixth level. I'm afraid it will be difficult to break them in a short time."
Jonil stroked his white beard and examined it for a moment, then frowned.
After Lei Xiao looked at Xiao Jie, the latter also shook his head helplessly.
The sixth-level barrier was obviously beyond her capabilities.
After seeing this scene, our strong men couldn't help but look at each other again.
I have to say that the road leading to the other party's lair is really like thousands of mountains and valleys, with one mountain after another blocking my way.
This is obviously very different from the brave warriors in countless legends and poems who can easily face their opponents.
"Please don't worry, Your Highness. Leave everything to me."
Lorenz nodded at Lei Xiao and placed his old hand flat on the wall sculpture next to the gate.
