Try to find similar patterns from various dark magics.

Relying on her rich knowledge, Ona barely understood the purpose of this magic circle.

This is something similar to a prayer array, and its effect should be to pray to a certain existence, and then offer sacrifices to make the wish come true.

Logically speaking, this doesn't count as dark knowledge.

However, there is no mark on the direction of this prayer array, just like an email sent randomly.

Both the Falling Star and the Evil God camp like to intercept this kind of prayer, because it has no binding force and can eat up all the sacrifices and the people who offer them.

Ona didn't understand, but she had a solution.

Ona extended several tentacles and replicated the magic circle made from the scraps of paper, placing the collected soul fragments on top as activation conditions.

As for the subject of the prayer, the magic circle caster can think of anything he wants.

It was just a subconscious and sincere wish from the exhausted Ona.

"I want to reunite with Sinyas."

Energy flowed along the magic circle, searching for a being willing to grant her wish.

Ona closed her eyes and waited for a long time, but the other side of the prayer circle was empty and there was no response.

The soul fragments used to maintain the energy of the magic circle were quickly consumed, and then Ona's own power took over.

Deep in the dark underground prison, Ona's plump tentacles slowly shriveled up due to the continuous consumption of power. Finally, she could no longer hold on and ended her prayer.

Ona, who had always been full of vitality, was drained by this inexplicable magic circle and became haggard.

"Why doesn't it work? This is exactly how it should be used!"

Ona asked the Rat Sage beside her weakly and desperately.

The Rat was also speechless. Whenever Ona made a wish, it would be intercepted by the Book of the Dead. Then the Rat opened a door for Ona and asked her to go to the Great Library quietly to collect the scattered knowledge of the Book of the Dead.

It turned out that Ona was too serious about her work, and the prayer circle set up by the violent rat was real. This magic circle was originally used by the ratmen to pray to Avia in the world of the abyss painting.

It's just that the clues given to Ona erased the features pointing to Avia.

In the abyss, there are very few beings that can respond to this call, and when praying like this near Anor Londo, the first one to hear this prayer is only Avia.

Just when Ona closed her eyes and prayed sincerely, Baoshu could feel that Ivia's eyes were always fixed on this side, not from the perspective of the trial, but from the perspective of being summoned.

It was like a long gaze coming from the abyss, and the violent rat was so scared that it dared not speak.

Ivia just watched quietly without saying anything or responding, and the Book of the Dead had no ability to intercept her.

A little less so in establishing a connection with the Necronomicon.

"Please wait a moment and try again." This was all Baoshu could say, treating it as an unexpected reset.

In order to prevent Ona from shriveling up and dying, the rat secretly opened a hole in the prison to allow vitality to flow in.

Ona didn't notice this, but instead drained her strength and tried to pray again.

This time, the Book of the Dead did not hold back and responded immediately. Its strange power nourished Ona and established a preliminary connection with her.

"I saw some fragments of books that should be in the big library up there. What does that have to do with leaving here?"

At this point, Ona still hadn't realized what the being that lent her her power was, and continued questioning the Rat Sage, who clearly had ulterior motives.

"Did it succeed? You didn't even transform. You are indeed a qualified person." The Rat Sage had no intention of hiding anything.

Then, the violent rat spoke as if asking for something:

"I can send you away from here, but I need you to take all the book fragments you saw from the library. I won't ask what you do after that."

Violent Rat's words made up for what Ona didn't understand.

The Rat Sage of the Great Library, having come into contact with forbidden knowledge, had to separate the contaminated parts and put them in prison to prevent them from decaying.

The Rat Sage in front of him longed for completeness, so he tempted himself to accept the so-called forbidden knowledge that appeared in his mind.

Simply put, he needed a carrier to carry away the pollution for him, and the previous trouble was in testing.

Ona took a deep breath. As a priestess of the ancient gods, she was not afraid of any pollution.

"make a deal!"

The Rat Sage, with only a head left, lowered his head and whispered a few words, and the black stone above Ona's head slowly cracked.

"Go ahead. If you're discovered again, there's nothing I can do."

Without even looking back, Ona carefully climbed the rock wall and rushed back into the library.

In the dim candlelight, a slight chill came over her. Ona replaced her legs with tentacles that made less noise when moving, and crawled in the hall on the first floor of the library.

Judging from the memory images he obtained, the fragments of books are all above the second floor, and the Rat Sage who imprisoned Zuiyas should be on the top floor.

With her previous exploration experience, Ona went directly to the second floor. This time she did not vent her anger on these monsters, but carefully searched for the passage to continue upwards.

The violent rat who was watching secretly nodded in satisfaction.

Ona carefully climbed half of the spiral staircase in the corner of the second-floor hall. At the third-floor staircase, a wizard-like enemy wearing a big hat and a black cloak discovered Ona.

The wizard did not use his staff, but made a bow-stringing motion, and the next moment a huge crystal-shaped energy arrow shot in front of Ona.

Ona shrank her body, but her tentacles spread upward like snakes, trying to grab the wizard.

As a result, a burst of light appeared from the wizard who was gathering strength to shoot the second arrow, and then disappeared in a flash.

The environment on the third floor is no longer a hall, but consists of a wide corridor that is attached to the wall. In the hollow in the middle, you can still see the environment on the second floor. In the hollow, there are some decorative specimens hanging from above.

The wizard flashed to the back of the circular corridor.

Ona had just reached the third floor when another crystal arrow shot towards her from a not-so-close distance.

However, most of the power was blocked by the railings outside the corridor, and only a few flying water spirit fragments burned Ona.

Buzz~Silence!

The next moment, the wizard monster, regardless of this, charged up his strength and shot the arrow again.

If Ona didn't move, she could lean on the railing and fight the wizard until the end of time, but Ona still needed to search for book fragments on this bookshelf.

This action would expose her to attack and make her a sitting duck.

Ona had to crawl on all fours and deal with the wizard first.

After going around a long arc-shaped corridor, Ona approached the archer. Although the crystal arrows and energy arrows were quite powerful, Ona thought she could still take one or two arrows.

Now there is no cover on either side. As long as I can touch the other side, I can use the characteristics of the ancient god to corrode him to death.

"Intramedullary nail."

The soft tentacles turned into sharp spikes, formed not far from the wizard's feet, and stabbed the wizard swiftly.

The wizard gave up the attack again, disappeared in a flash, and appeared in the next corridor.

Buzz~Silence!

The crystal energy arrow once again blocked Ona's pursuit.

Whenever Ona chased her, the wizard would flash, and whenever Ona stopped, she would be sniped. The wide circular corridor on the third floor became a nightmare cycle for Ona.

Even the stairs leading to the fourth floor were in the open. Ona had calculated that even if she bypassed the abominable wizard and headed straight for the fourth floor, there was a high probability that she would be hit by more than two crystal arrows while fleeing.

Moreover, Ona suspected that the wizard's flashing ability had no consumption and no cooling time. No matter how fast Ona was, the wizard could always flash away one step ahead.

Amidst the bombardment of crystal arrows, Ona looked at the huge decorations and chandeliers hanging from the hollow space on the second floor.

She wasn't sure if these things could serve as a shelter, but she didn't have much time left and couldn't waste it.

Ona dodged and leaped onto the whale-like specimen. The crystal arrow followed closely, but was blocked by the warped specimen.

Before Ona's surprise wore off, she saw a knight in armor slowly stand up in the blind spot.

He is not afraid of confronting Ona head-on. For the ancient gods, any opportunity to exchange injuries for injuries is a win-win. This iron knight is full of weaknesses.

Just as Ona was about to get close, the armored knight did not attack with the sword in his hand. Instead, he hugged his arms first, then suddenly opened them and pushed his body forward.

A powerful yang repulsive force erupted with him as the center. Ona couldn't hold on to the ground at all and was blown into the air.

Buzz~Silence!

The crystal arrow tracked over and hit Ona in mid-air, causing half of her body to become numb. She was unable to gain leverage in the air and fell heavily to the second floor.

"My cnm Gwyn o Ivia!" After working hard for a long time and returning to the original place, Ona finally broke down and angrily cursed the designer of the trial.

The violent rat couldn't bear to hear this, so the bow wizard split into two on the corridor on the third floor, and began to snipe Ona on the second floor from a high position, doubling his happiness.

-

While Ona was being tortured in the Great Library, the other four people, plus Antihope, who was seriously injured but spared, also found the Second Research Institute, which was like the lair of the ancient gods, based on the location.

[The hunter has entered the Second Research Institute (Ruins)]

[Tip: Because the plot has been completed, the Hunter cannot trigger the Second Research Institute side quest.]

……

From a distance, dazzling flames would occasionally burst out from the sky above the ruins, which looked like a pile of rotting corpses.

"Someone is exploring the Second Research Institute. We've arrived just in time."

Lidya Su didn’t pay attention to this little hint, but just came to the conclusion.

"Let's wait here for the outcome. Judging from the reaction inside, the one fighting should be a spellcaster, and a spellcaster of a fairly high level. If you rashly join the battlefield, you'll be mistaken for enemy reinforcements."

Antihope only took one look and understood the situation.

"No, if they fail, they might have to start exploring all over again."

Bellerophon disagreed and insisted on sending reinforcements.

"Then let Shadow of Destruction stay outside. He's now capable of protecting himself. The various factions have collaborated more than once during this trial, so he could be of some help."

The Gray Gentleman made a compromise proposal.

Su Xiao had no objection to this. Seeing this, the others, led by Bellerophon, began to follow the path opened up by King Lingfeng and went deep into the Second Research Institute.

After everyone left, Bubuwang emerged from his invisible state at Su Xiao's feet and shouted at the rotten earth in front of him.

"Damn it, your nose is quite sharp." When a newcomer came, Zuiyas from the Second Research Institute noticed it immediately. Before this, he knew that Ona was with Su Xiao and the others.

"Where's my wife? She must have had a hard time dying. Did you abandon her?"
