Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 70 Jingguan Tower

Oliver's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it, and he blinked. Then, the surrounding insect eggs seemed to be activated, making a violent buzzing sound.

"Buzz buzz!"

Countless insect eggs exploded one after another, and red sticky juice spurted out. One by one, the terrible demon insects with human faces woke up. They hovered in mid-air, opened their mouths and let out shrill howls, and their sharp teeth were clearly visible in their mouths.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!" the two screamed in fear and ran away frantically. They didn't even have time to figure out the direction they were running in. They just wanted to get away from these damn bugs.

As Maro ran away, he stretched out his hands behind him and shouted the spell of "Burning Hands". Large streams of red flames burst out from his hands in a fan shape. However, the insects in the air showed no fear and plunged into the flames, using their lives to extinguish the power of the spell.

"Damn Maro! Lord of Cats, I swear you have serious intestinal problems!!" Oliver roared as he ran away.

Maro collapsed and yelled, "Hurry up and find the exit!! I can't run anymore!!"

The swarm of insects was getting closer and closer to them, and Maro even thought that he was going to be buried in the belly of the insects. The next moment, when they turned the corner, they were surprised to find a huge iron gate.

"Look!! It's a door! Go open it!"

When facing the brink of death, Marlowe burst out with unprecedented strength. His already exhausted physical strength accelerated again and he even passed Oliver and rushed to the iron gate, casting spells while breathlessly.

"Arlohoma!"

A blue halo wrapped around the handle of the iron door, and the next moment, the lock of the iron door was immediately unlocked.

Marlowe and Oliver didn't even bother to look at what was behind the door. They rushed in immediately, pushing the heavy iron door with all their strength, and finally closed the door before the swarm of insects flew over.

"Huhu. Huh."

The two men leaned against the gate and slowly sat down on the ground. They had lost all their strength.

Everything inside the gate was dark. The two men were groping in the dark in this pitch-black environment, and could only smell the strong smell of rust.

"Why do I feel a chilly wind?" Maro was a little scared.

"It's blood," Oliver said in a breathy voice.

All the hair on his body had stood up, and his tail was sticking up high. The strong smell of rust was so heavy that it even made people feel that the air had become sticky, as if floating in a sea of ​​blood.

Maro raised his hand with great effort, trying to cast [Dark Vision] to see the surrounding scene clearly.

Suddenly, there was a heavy rumbling sound in the distance, like the sound of a mechanism being turned on. The bearings and gears rubbed against each other, and the ground began to tremble slightly.

A burst of red light suddenly appeared, followed by countless runes shining with red light appearing on the ground. These lights also completely illuminated the world behind the door.

"Oh my God." Marrow was dumbfounded, looking at everything in front of him in horror.

Inside a huge hall, there was a huge circular magic circle on the ground. Countless red runes were flashing. The circular magic circle was composed of three circles. The three circles were rotating in the opposite direction to the connected circles under the power of the mechanism.

In the center of the magic circle is a huge Jingguan Tower. Countless human heads are densely packed with wooden branches, forming a pyramid made of flesh and blood.

Under this "pyramid" is a circular depression, which is also the innermost circle of the magic circle. It is filled with dark blood. Tiny pieces of flesh and blood are wriggling as if they have life, slowly flowing to the outer layer of the magic circle. Faintly, one can hear the shrill howls of ghosts coming from inside.

The magic circle seemed to be completely activated, and all the heads on the Jingguan Tower opened their eyes. They looked at Maro and the others and screamed miserably. "Save me!!"

"Do not kill me!!"

"Please, spare me!!"

Marro's whole body went cold. It was not the scene before him that frightened him, but the magic power that began to appear in the magic circle when it was activated.

An evil, dirty, and huge magic power that comes from the abyss.

"That's the altar," Maro swallowed and said while looking at the Jingguan.

The human heads on the pyramid were instantly squeezed and crushed by an invisible force. The wails of the dead echoed throughout the underground space. Marro then noticed that the door behind him and the surrounding walls were covered with densely packed abyssal language engraved on them.

They block the gods' sight and prevent the prayers of the dead from reaching the gods' ears.

The next moment, the voices of the ghosts suddenly disappeared.

Maro looked up and found that a ball of black light had replaced the pyramid and appeared in the center of the magic circle. It was like the most greedy glutton, sucking up all the blood and souls, and making a beating sound like a heart.

"Dong Dong. Dong Dong Dong Dong"

A red scarlet beam shot upward from the black light, shattering the ceiling and reaching the sky.

Maro lost consciousness in the magic of sinking.
-
In front of the square of Rosa Castle, Charis was standing in front of a huge crowd, reading the lines of the succession ceremony with a sad face.

Some citizens became impatient. The ceremonies for these noble hereditary titles were all full of nonsense, about treating the subjects better, reducing taxes, worshipping the gods, and so on.

After taking office, he is still exactly the same as his predecessor.

Most nobles would not be as arrogant as Charis at this moment. When he took office, he asked all citizens to listen to his speech, and it was in the middle of the night. Many citizens almost reached the critical point of anger after listening to his endless nonsense.

But Charis didn't care. In his sorrowful eyes were uncontrollable joy and expectation, and unstoppable desire and greed.

He will have his coronation, he will call upon the power of ancient evil, he will be crowned a legend!
As Charis fantasized in his mind, he looked at the citizens in front of him with contempt. They would become food for his promotion, just a group of piglets.

But an unexpected guest interrupted his daydream.

"and many more."

A clear shout was heard, and the citizens looked at the man who dared to stop the new earl from taking office, with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

The visitor was a man with long platinum hair and a handsome face like a god. He was dressed in a black wizard robe, and behind him were six mysterious men who were also dressed in wizard robes and covered in huge hoods.

"Mage! It's Mage Loslien! He is the most respected mage in Degen City!" There was a commotion in the crowd, and a mysterious group of mages appeared in front of them. Except for those professionals, ordinary people looked at them with excitement, wanting to see what these omnipotent guys in mythology would do.

"What happened? Mr. Losrien?" There was a flash of anger in Charis' eyes, but he concealed it and smiled calmly.

Loslien glanced at him coldly and said, "According to the noble treaty of the Kingdom of Inbutu, a kinslayer cannot inherit the title of his ancestors. Baron Charis, your succession ceremony is not allowed because you killed your father, the old Earl Mende Rosa!"
