Ring of Fate

Chapter 810 Ignored

There are no street lights in Morola at night, relying solely on the crimson moon high in the sky for illumination. There is deep darkness and thick shadows everywhere.

Guxin, dressed as a gentleman and holding a lantern, brought Lumian to a neighborhood near the edge of the city.

This place is completely abandoned because a small volcano has risen from the ground, swallowing up several houses and leaving a charred ruin all around.

“The place you’re talking about isn’t under the volcano, is it?” Lumian glanced around, straightened his cuffs, and said with a smile.

Gu Xin nodded slightly and said:
“Yes, that volcanic eruption affected the underground part of the cemetery, causing the power inside to seep out. The magma quickly receded, leaving only a void.

"If you can find the right path in the cave filled with the fog of war and reach the predetermined destination, it means you are qualified to join us in attacking the underground part of the cemetery."

The fog of war... Guxin had been using this term to describe the underground mist. It really seemed to have leaked from the underground mausoleum, where there was "0-01" representing the "Red Priest"... Lumian did not make a ball of white fire for himself to illuminate, but followed Guxin with a portable lantern and turned into a building on the edge of the volcanic area.

Inside the house filled with solidified volcanic rocks, the two walked down the shaky stairs and entered the half-collapsed basement.

A crack had been torn in the wall of the basement, revealing a hollow space filled with thick fog.

"You need to go to the underground part of the cemetery and light the oil lamp between the four stone statues. Remember, there are four human-shaped statues facing each other." Gu Xin hung the lantern on a stone brick protruding from the crack in the wall, took out a simple map, and pointed to the destination.

Lumian looked carefully for a minute or two, then cast his gaze thoughtfully toward the thick fog outside the rift:
"What's so special about this fog?"

Gu Xin pressed the half-high silk hat on his head and said with a smile:
"It can significantly reduce your visual range, affect your hearing and sense of smell, suppress your astral body's interaction with the spirit world, and dull your spiritual warnings and spiritual intuition."

“What else?” Lumian asked, seemingly relaxed.

Gu Xin thought for a few seconds and said:
"The fog of war has also enveloped the spiritual world corresponding to this area. Even if some Beyonders can enter the spiritual world, they are unable to locate themselves and escape the fog. If they want to forcibly 'teleport' out, they are likely to get lost somewhere in Morola and never return to reality."

Can I "teleport" to any place that I can see? With my Hunter's vision, I can only see the situation within a range of five or six meters... Lumian roughly understood the function of the fog of war and laughed:

"If I could create a hurricane, could I blow them away?"

"We tried it and it worked, but when the wind stopped, the fog would come back again. And the fog was only blown away in reality and had no effect on the part of the fog that had seeped into the spiritual world." Gu Xin briefly described the results of the previous experiment.

Lumian asked a few more details, then smiled and formed a ball of white flame, letting it float above his head.

He stepped forward, through the crack, and walked step by step into the thick fog.

The mist was not damp and cold like normal, but instead had a burning sensation as if it had been scorched by fire. As soon as Lumian breathed it into his nose, he felt a burning pain in his entire airway. The smell of burnt, bloody, and rust filled his mind at the same time.

Thick, solidified fog rose up, and the ground began to tremble slightly.

Lumian then saw tall figures walking out of the fog about five or six meters away.

These figures are made of black iron, with dark red rust on the surface, like metal puppets that have been idle for many years.

Some of them were missing arms, some had bodies that were assembled in an uncoordinated manner, and some had large holes in their chests and abdomens. They all staggered towards Lumian from all directions, holding huge swords that flashed with cold light in their hands.

Lumian laughed:
"Who picked you up from the garbage dump?

"Waste recycling?"

Before he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot and appeared behind one of the iron dolls.

His eyes were stained with iron black, and his right fist burned with blazing white flames. He slammed into the waist and hip joint of the iron puppet like a giant bird falling to the ground.

Suddenly, a spear of blazing white flame shot out from the crack in the wall and rushed towards Lumian who had just swung his fist at an extremely fast speed.

Lumian had no time to dodge or use the "Spiritual Travel" skill, and could only fall to the ground due to the momentum of his right fist.

At the same time, he was ready to swap his shadow with his real body.

boom!
His right fist, burning with white flames, hit the iron doll's waist and hips, leaving spider-web-like cracks there.

Then, his fist scraped against the metal surface, causing his body to fall to the ground, allowing him to narrowly avoid the blazing white flaming spear, but only a clump of his hair was ignited.

With a clang, the blazing white flame spear pierced through the body of the iron puppet and landed two meters away, revealing the figure of Gu Xin wearing a half-high silk hat.

The one who attacked Lumian was this tester!
This is the second most dangerous person in Morola!
Crack, crack, the iron doll took a step forward due to inertia, and its body began to disintegrate from the waist and hips, collapsing with a loud bang and turning into a pile of scrap iron.

Lumian, who was lying on the ground, did not roll over. He was not far from the basement when he "teleported" directly to the crack covered by thick fog. He moved as far as possible within the visible range to get out of the fog of war as soon as possible.

By then, whether it is counterattacking and killing Gu Xin or finding a chance to escape, it will be easier than it is now.

If you have a choice, try not to fight in a scenario preset by others!

As Lumian's figure emerged from the thick fog near the crack in the basement, a metal spear wrapped in white flames suddenly appeared in his eyes. It pierced Lumian's heart as if it was waiting here for Lumian to hit it.

In addition to Gu Xin, there is an ambusher!
And it seems that Guxin's attack just now was to lure Lumian, let him "teleport" towards the exit, and step into the trap himself!

At this time, Lumian was in Morola, and was far away from Frankajana. He could not use the "mirror substitute" they created. He could only activate the contract mark in a flash, allowing the shadow illuminated by the fire to flip up and switch positions with the original body.

puff!
The metal spear surrounded by white flames pierced through Lumian's chest, setting his entire body on fire.

But Lumian's figure grew thinner and darker, melting like a shadow in the firelight.

The man holding the metal spear then walked into the fog of war from the crack.

His hair seemed to be dyed blood red, his facial features were extremely aggressive, and he was wearing a black jacket with red stripes. He looked exactly like Albus Medici.

Albus Medici, who was supposed to be found by Guxin, actually appeared here!
Lumian's figure quickly appeared in another direction, but due to the limitations of the fog of war, the distance between him and Albus, Guxin, and the other black iron dolls was no more than six meters.

He saw that the space between Gu Xin's eyebrows was faintly red, as if something was about to come out, and he saw that Albus's hair was covered with red flames and was scattered, as if it had grown from short to long.

"You traitor." Gu Xin narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered as if he was sentencing someone.

He immediately created one blazing white fireball after another, letting them bombard Lumian in an attempt to cover every corner.

He didn't seem to be afraid of affecting himself and Albus at all, considering the distance between them was only five or six meters, and the fireball he created was enough to plow the Carnivore Bar flat.

After hearing Guxin's words and seeing Albus Medici's posture, Lumian suddenly understood why he was attacked:

He ignored the existence of the "Iron Cross"!

This secret organization, which uses "Hunter" as its main channel, should also be looking for the whereabouts of "0-01". After so many years, it is highly likely that someone has infiltrated Morola.

One of these people is Gusin!

Given the strange connection between the core members of the "Iron Cross" and Trier in the Quaternary Epoch, it is completely understandable that they can maintain a certain self-identity in Morola and use the dissipated power of "0-01" to sense the approach of the law enforcement team in advance, which is also consistent with Gu Xin's performance!
The current situation is that Albus Medici seems to be still cooperating with the "Iron Cross" and is still using this secret organization, and Lumian wanted to use the power of Gusin and others to turn the attempt to find Albus Medici into a trap.

Looking at the flying white fireballs and Albus Medici who was blocking the exit and preparing something, Lumian did not hesitate at all. His sleeves flashed and his figure disappeared again.

But this time, there was a makeup mirror left where he was.

The makeup mirror fell straight down in the thick fog, and broke into many cracks.

Rumble!
The group of blazing white fireballs created by Gu Xin exploded, but only affected an area of ​​five to six meters. It failed to push away the thick fog of war and was confined to a very small area.

The makeup mirror broke into countless pieces in the violent explosion, some of which were shattered into slag or melted and re-solidified.

Albus looked at the rising white flames, felt the impact waves coming towards him, and said to himself with a slightly puzzled expression:

"Using the mirror world?"

Behind the dark and empty mirror, Lumian used the "Mirror Buckle" again and quickly looked forward, discovering that the illusory dark spider-web-like tunnels were not eroded by the fog of war.

Sure enough, in Morola, the mirror world is special... It is because of the "mirror buckle" that Lumian dares to "believe" in Gu Xin, dares to walk into the fog of war, and "accept" the test.

Of course, he was not without the ability to fight just now as he had magical items such as the "Sword of Courage", but since he had not yet figured out Albus Medici's trump card, he did not want to fight desperately on the battlefield set by the opponent.

Lumian then chose a mirror mark located in Morola, used the "Spiritual World Shuttle", and left here.

As soon as he disappeared from this place, the empty and dark area behind the mirror collapsed silently as the mirror was completely shattered.

The destination of Lumian's "teleportation" was the mirror in Julie's room.

As soon as he arrived at his destination, he looked at the outside world through the glass mirror and found that the "witch" Julie was missing and was not sleeping in bed.

The corners of Lumian's mouth curled up slightly.
