Volume 9: Vampires and Dungeons Chapter 16 Underground Palace
Li Lin could see that this was indeed a travel notebook for beginners.
Not only the mission content is being complained about, but even the traps and activities are being complained about. This is definitely a travel mission transferred to mortals from within the university.
The scariest monster from beginning to end was a dissolving ghoul, which could be beaten with a kick. The rest of the time was spent watching these people perform. Even the NPCs seemed to know that this person was not easy to mess with, and many things and activities were simply circumventing Li Lin.
If we use the university level as the standard, this place is probably just a kindergarten. It is not even as good as the underground city that Li Lin fought at the beginning. As long as you put a sanctuary on your body and turn on some of the White Knight's floating characteristics, you can just walk through the rest. The landing mechanism will be blown up, the arrow mechanism will be broken into pieces in front of you, and the ground spike mechanism will not be able to spit out and will be stuck inside. The quicksand mechanism was blocked by the re-solidified magic power before it fell.
What powerful enemies and scary traps simply don't exist. They can't even break the defense. They can't even break the skin. Mortals wielding things without any magic power and will have no way to kill or attack the extraordinary. After all, the extraordinary, as the name suggests, means transcending ordinary people. If a few ordinary people come and chop the extraordinary people like chopping melons and vegetables, then what's the point of them? Magic awakening is a hurdle, a hurdle used to divide the mysterious and the non-mysterious.
It was just like when the fat man was nervous and weak and said some weird things, such as he came, he left , and he came again. But since the awakening of magic power, the whole person has changed, as if he has undergone some extraordinary transformation. Although Li Lin artificially awakened his spiritual will on the one hand, on the other hand, it was the awakening of his own magic power. Once a person has power, then everything that was feared in the past will not be feared anymore. Now the fat man has transformed into a berserker, as if to wash away the humiliation of being controlled by some messy delusions, and he is madly rushing around in the underground palace, invincible.
Once you have magic power, there is really nothing you can do when facing the traps set by mortals.
And finally, some humanoid monsters appeared in the underground palace. They were the guys who had been having the banquet and rushed down at the beginning.
They seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation, or it was possible that they had always looked that way. There was a mass of floc-like things spreading inside their heads. They limped over like zombies, wielding broken swords in their hands that couldn't even cut the vegetables his mother bought.
Even Li Lin and Sallys didn't need to do it directly, the fat man himself could do it. Since awakening the "virtue", the fat man always rushed to the front as if to atone for his sins, and then killed the zombies with a sad expression. The magic operation that was originally unfamiliar became very proficient along the way.
He even awakened a method similar to human body manipulation, often strangling his throat with his own hands, crushing his spine alive. Although the fat man always had a compassionate expression like a saint, Li Lin, as a bystander, always felt that there was something wrong with the magic irrigation at the beginning. Although it was a virtue, it looked like a perversion no matter how you looked at it.
"Is it still far away, Mr. Li Lin?"
"Well, it's getting closer. You'll be reunited with your brother soon."
After looking at the traces left on the ground, Li Lin nodded, took out a fruit from the space and put it into his mouth.
This can't be blamed on Li Lin for not doing his job or not feeling nervous, this is really nothing. The love, hatred, and vengeance of a few mortals are really too far from his level. He is now just floating around, watching the protagonist not get beaten to death, and the rest is just eating melons and watching the show .
"Oh, there's a big monster."
"What?"
"Nothing, he's already dead. He was pressed to death from a distance of several hundred meters."
Feeling the rapidly dissipating vitality of the huge monster in the room, Li Lin shook his head.
The gap between the classes was too great, so great that even understanding the means of attack was impossible. With the blessing of the Saint's Sword, as long as he was in the White Knight state, his attack range was within a space of several hundred meters.
Yes, hundreds of meters, no matter up, down, left, right, front, back, or any messy walls blocking the way, it's as many as you say. If that monster was still a mortal, Li Lin might have to take out the Winchester again to attack him, but for Li Lin now, he just cast a glance, ignited the magic power, burned, and done.
No one will even know how it died.
"Your brother is behind the door, go ahead."
By the way , if it were me, I would never use a mechanism that opens the door because of the weight loss.
Looking at the mechanism that appeared because of the lighter weight of the monster after it dissolved, Li Lin was too lazy to complain whether this family was crazy to do this. He just curled his lips and signaled that the fat man could go in.
The fat man nodded very tactfully, opened the door and walked into the room. Countless golden lights shone in the room, and the fat man's brother stood on the throne of countless gold, with his head down and covering his head , as if he was thinking, or waiting for the fat man's arrival.
"You're here. You're finally here. You really are here, well, it should be you and me, it should be like this..."
Was it like this at the beginning or did it become like this later?
It doesn't matter.
Sitting on the golden throne, the burly man seemed to be a little out of mind. He kept shaking his head, his eyes empty and confused.
In his hand, he was holding a pale golden syringe, which contained some strange blood. He seemed to be about to hit himself, but there was still a trace of struggle on his face.
"My blood, your blood, my life, your life, are you virtue? Are you the heir? No, what am I going to say... I don't want these things... I don't want anything... I just want to go back... Well, this is me, I want to go back."
“But it’s no use. Once you come here, you can’t go back. Our blood is poisonous, our bloodline is wrong, wrong, nothing is right, nothing is right, everything is wrong. But in the end, it’s you, right? Everything will be you in the end... I can’t do it anymore, my spirit can’t do it anymore... It’s not you... It’s Him..."
"You don't know what real power is... My brother... I saw it all... It's all in the deepest underground..."
You're going to lose. But I'm not going to win either. We all are.
The burly man with empty eyes muttered softly and inserted the strange syringe in his hand into his heart.
