Chapter 371: How to Play Against Monsters with Hidden Mechanics

The ice-sculpted castle, the starry sky, and the aurora borealis created a stunning scene that left everyone in awe.

What impressed them even more was the path between their feet and the ice-sculpted castle.

It was a rainbow road laid out on the ice.

Various colors are laid out on the glacier road, forming an S-curve that extends towards the castle. Standing on it is like standing on a rainbow.

The ground on both sides of the road was also covered in a dark blue color, dotted with many stars.

Celia tried stepping on it and discovered that the dark blue ground 'starry sky' and star points were not void, but real earth.

However, to avoid any unexpected situations, she ultimately chose to embark on the Rainbow Road and head towards the ice sculpture castle.

Unless you have a perverse sense of humor like Jonathan, other ruins rarely present unexpected situations.

Sure enough, they encountered no obstacles while following the road.

Upon arriving at the gate of the ice-sculpted castle, we saw two guards who appeared to be constructed from ice sculptures.

The two guards, each holding a small round shield in one hand and a longsword in the other, trembled as Celia and the others approached, and snow slid off their bodies.

The longsword was drawn with a whooshing sound.

A voice came—

"The Queen's sleeping place is off-limits without permission."

Celia ignored him and went to meet them together with the puppet.

The puppet held the sword of myriad lights, while she held a staff.

Seeing this, Pamisa looked puzzled.

Is Miss Hiro a magician or a swordsman?
Before Pamisa could think too much, she saw Celia rushing forward and quickly manipulated her puppet to charge ahead as well.

The same was true for Goref, except that he charged forward with the puppet.

boom!
The light of the spell burst forth instantly.

Celia frowned.

She discovered that the guard's body did not budge even when bombarded with magic.

The girl immediately knew what was going on.

"Is this a dream world?"

Ross nodded: "Yes, this ruin is not a mirror world of the subspace, but a mirror world of a dream. Every team that enters will see a completely different scene at the end."

Celia stared at the two guards, pondering how to resolve the situation.

At this moment, Goref and Parmisa's reinforcements arrived.

Goref's giant sword slammed into a guard, barely knocking him back, but his puppet was also sent flying by the immense force, crashing down next to Manica behind him.

On the other side, Parmisa fared much better; her longsword only managed to leave shallow marks on the guards, unable to break through their defenses.

The two immediately understood what was going on.

"These two castle guards, like the seal outside, need to have their weaknesses found to be killed."

Celia had a vague realization—

"I roughly know how this ruin works."

"It periodically unleashes dream magic. Only after being infected by dream magic, having a dream, and then defeating the monsters in the dream, can the entrance be opened with the monsters' guidance."

"The seal outside is there to tell everyone that the monsters in this ruin can only be defeated with special methods, otherwise they cannot be harmed."

Ross laughed and said, "Yes, that's how this ruin works. It borrows a lot of Alina's power to operate. In fact, it's not a low-level ruin, but one that works for all levels. When a high-level player comes, it becomes a high-level ruin, and when a low-level player comes, it becomes a low-level ruin."

Celia was shocked: "Is Miss Alina's power really that great?"

Ross said calmly, "The only difference between the tenth rank and a god is the divine status."

Celia immediately understood.

The tenth and final step of the Ascension to Godhood grants one power comparable to that of a god, even without achieving godhood.

"So here's the question: how do we deal with these two guards?"

Celia fell into deep thought.

She let the puppets join the battle, fighting freely, while she watched intently, silently observing, trying to find a weakness. Pamisa came to her side, also watching carefully, and asked in a low voice, "Do these two guards have any natural enemies?"

Celia countered, "Do humans have natural enemies?"

Pamisa shook her head.

As humans, they were unaware of humanity's natural enemies.

Could it be a god? Or a demon?

Obviously not.

Just then, Anthony, who hadn't joined the battle, suddenly said, "Pamisa, perhaps we can pretend to be guests of the 'Queen' they're talking about."

Pamisa was taken aback, then immediately called out to the guards, "We are the Queen's guests, let us in."

The guards didn't answer, but instead, relying on the protection of the dream, they beat their puppets mercilessly.

Pamisa shook her head: "It seems that won't work."

“No, perhaps, but we need to disengage from the battle,” Celia said.

As she spoke, she manipulated the puppet to quickly move away from the guards and arrive at the edge of Rainbow Road.

Seeing this, Pamisa also commanded the puppet to return. Griff had long since given up on fighting, and seeing that the two of them had retreated, he quickly took the opportunity to escape the battle as well.

After the group left, the two ice sculpture guards did not chase after them, but instead returned to stand on either side of the gate, turning into ice sculptures.

Celia moved forward again.

"The Queen's sleeping place is off-limits without permission."

The voice came again.

Celia began, "Hello, we are the Queen's guests and wish to see her."

A guard said, "To see the Queen, please show her insignia."

"The Queen's emblem?" Pamisa frowned, puzzled. "Where do you get something like that?"

Celia had a vague idea of ​​what the so-called Queen's Emblem was.

It is highly likely that it is a pass for the heretics to return to their stronghold.

Can't enter without the badge?
Celia might not agree.

She began, "We have no badges, but we have important matters to discuss with the Queen."

Another guard spoke up: "Without a badge, you need to pass our test."

After saying this, the two guards trembled again, then stepped forward and assumed a fighting stance.

Celia stepped forward, and the guards immediately rushed over.

Celia raised her staff, and a large amount of icy rain turned into ice needles that flew towards the guards, exploding upon contact.

The numerous explosions quickly blasted craters into the guards' bodies.

When they rushed to within three meters of Celia, their entire bodies were reduced to skeletons.

The next moment, the skeleton was also blown to pieces, and the two guards fell in front of him, well... they died with their eyes wide open?
The two guards, who were previously impenetrable no matter how hard they were attacked, were easily killed after the "test" was presented.

It looks quite interesting.

If it were someone else facing this, Celia would find it very interesting, just like Rose is doing now.

Celia saw Ross watching with a smile as they fought off the guards.

She tried several times to ask Ross directly what the weaknesses of these guards were, but in the end she didn't ask.

Celia is also very strong-willed.

She also understood Ross's mindset.

Watching others play is indeed very enjoyable.

If I were to do it myself...

She just felt disgusted.
