The life ring rotated rapidly, driving the invisible wind to become even more fierce. The golden and silver bow turned into a book was pulled open by Megan, pointing to the sky shrouded in clouds and mist, with every sky-blue rubble dotted on the bow.
All are shining.
White mist gushes out from the [Demon Hunting Seal] until the configuration becomes a complete arrow. When the bow is pulled to the maximum, the scarlet ritual matrix that Shade saw in the book just now fully appears.
Meghan's feet.
She used ancient language and shouted the name of thaumaturgy to the sky:
“Margaret’s Exorcism—Destroy Evil!”
The long arrow of white mist shot into the sky, turning into a golden beam of light. Amidst the sound of shattering glass, a large black hole was shot out of the sky covered by clouds and mist, but the large hole was clearly like a gap in the mirror.
In the big hole in the dark sky, a man tossed the black cube in his hand, laughing and walking from the air to the ground, as if there were invisible steps under his feet. This appearance is clearly the same as the Stone Mirror Demon - Goethe
The disguised Stone Oxenfurt is very similar.
The sound of shattering glass continued from the sky to the distance, the island maze was shattering, and the demon that finally appeared was walking towards the two of them.
Megan, who was somewhat out of strength, took the initiative to come behind Shade. Shade took out the luxurious silver [Moonlight Sword] from the void with his right hand with a serious expression. He touched his pocket with his left hand. It took him a long time to find Priest August to give it to him.
The black suitcase.
"Help me take out the golden bottle."
He threw the box to the witch behind him, who quickly opened the box and was shocked by the dazzling array of potions inside that she couldn't even recognize most of.
These potions are undoubtedly used to deal with demons and undead:
"You also said you are not a witcher?"
As he spoke, he put the only bottle of [Golden Potion] into Shade's hand. Shade popped open the bottle cap with a bang, but when he looked at the man who was already on the ground throwing the black cube, he suddenly frowned:
"I thought you were very capable, why don't you come to see us in your true form, the demon of the labyrinth - Yaru!"
What you see from the perspective of the thaumaturgy [Seeing Demon] is not the demon's body, but an invisible black mist. Doctor Schneider said very clearly that the labyrinth demon - Yaru's body is a glowing black metal cube. His magic
Even if you can't clearly see the demon's true form, you can't see the cube as black mist.
"Oh, you know me?"
While tossing the black cube up and down, the bald man asked with a smile in Delarian with an accent from the Green Lake area:
"With the demon hunting seal and the dangerous bottle of golden potion in your hand, it seems that you are indeed well prepared. I never expected that in the sixth era, you can still encounter the inheritance of those demon hunters.
Sir, what else do you have to bring to the table?"
Shade glanced around with his peripheral vision. The sky cracked and turned into a large, terrifying and dark area that could not be seen through. However, the demon's body never appeared:
"No matter how cautious you are when dealing with a being like you, I just didn't expect that you would actually be willing to cooperate with humans."
"Why not? Since the beginning of the Third Age, our cooperation with humans has never stopped. The human heart is the most complex maze. I enjoy the process of cooperating with those complex humans, which will give me a lot of fun."
It grinned, and the black mist spread from its body to the surroundings, swallowing up the white mist that originally existed on the island. While throwing the cube in its hand, it looked at Megan behind Shade:
"This lady with a strange soul is a descendant of Edwards. I abide by the contract and can let her go. But you can't. Once you see the door, you can't leave. The maze has just begun. Please enjoy the fun after this.
.”
"I will not leave."
Megan grabbed Shade's arm from behind:
"No matter what the relationship between my ancestor and you is, I will never accept his favor."
There was a firm look in his golden eyes, and the devil smiled and shook his head:
"When you say this, it makes me feel like I have returned to the good old days of the Third Age. At that time, there were people like you everywhere and stories like this. I really miss the Third Age. Delicious souls were everywhere.
Yes... But, Miss Edwards, please don't be so cautious. What I said is all the truth, at least what I just said is the truth. My relationship with your ancestors is very simple. I am the caretaker. On the way to
On the road to the truth, I will construct the maze and screen out those who should not continue to move forward, it’s that simple.”
The black metal cube was thrown into the air. After falling again, it was not thrown up again:
"Ms. Edwards, since you are unwilling to leave, of course I will not force you. In this case, I will create a maze with only one exit. If you can get out, I will let you go this time."
It bowed slightly and respectfully in Meghan’s direction:
"In this way, it is not considered a violation of the contract with Mr. Laplace Klein Howard. But there is only this one chance. If you dare to bring members from outside the family here next time, I will definitely
Will not let him or her leave."
It crushed the black cube with its bare hands, and the whole world turned into complete darkness at that moment. Because they knew that the demon in front of them was not the real body at all, and crushing the cube was just an illusion, so Shade and Megan also
Didn't do anything to stop it.
In the darkness, first the silver moonlight appeared on Shade's body, just like every time before, and then the angel-level relic in Megan's hand also glowed slightly, illuminating their surroundings.
Darkness, endless darkness, this is the environment they are currently in. The nearby terrain detected by the powerful spatial perception is completely empty and endless.
[Outlander, you have entered the Devil's Labyrinth. Note that flying and space movement are prohibited in this area. 】
This is no longer the island, nor any place that the two of them are familiar with. Megan pursed her lips and continued to hold Shade’s arm, and said softly:
"I'm so sorry, it seems like every time I lead you into various dangerous situations."
"Apologise to me for what? Let's leave as soon as possible."
Although there are abnormalities in space, time is still completely normal:
"We stayed on that lake without an outlet for too long, and it's almost six o'clock now. Night is coming, and my fortune teller friend said that the lunar eclipse will happen around ten to eleven o'clock tonight...
..move."
"This is the labyrinth constructed by the devil."
Megan reminded softly:
"I can feel that my mental energy is draining quickly. If we can't leave as soon as possible, I'm afraid we will be in big trouble."
Shade nodded:
"Since it's a maze, I have a solution, so don't cast any more spells."
With that said, he first put away Priest August's box of potions, and then very cautiously took out a wooden box. The box was opened, and a round bright yellow orb lay on the red velvet lining.
The flawless and perfect beads were reflected in Megan's eyes, and the orange light directly touched her soul. She felt like she was seeing the moon, but before the power of chaos further invaded her soul, she took the initiative to move
Opened up one's sight.
This also means that Shade's "treatment" last time was indeed effective and greatly improved her mental resistance.
"What's this?"
The witch asked curiously, and then she saw the orb floating to Shade's head, and then pointed the direction forward. She just thought for a moment and understood:
"Sage-level relic [Source of Chaos]? It's actually in your hands?"
"You also know about this relic? Yes, it is it."
Shade nodded.
[Source of Chaos] As one of the symbols of the Yellow Moon, it has many characteristics, including "guiding the direction in the maze". This is related to the image of the "Yellow Moon" itself in March, which can be used in this kind of situation.
function in the environment.
Of course, Shade does not always carry this relic with him, because this relic has many properties and is also quite dangerous. If he is not careful, he will create a large number of lunatics.
The reason why he brought out the [Source of Chaos] today was not because he expected to encounter the Labyrinth Demon in advance, but because he considered the lunar eclipse tonight. He didn't know how much impact the lunar eclipse would have on him, but
He still remembered the introduction to [Source of Chaos] in the Book of Fools that he had given to Luvia as a year-end gift:
This item can be seen as a yellow moon in any scene.
Therefore, his plan was to throw out this orb to temporarily act as the moon if the lunar eclipse had an impact on him. But now, although the lunar eclipse has not yet arrived, this relic has already played a great role.
Shade and Megan held hands and kept moving forward under the guidance of the yellow moonlight. There were obviously no obstacles in the darkness, but the relics guided the two to keep turning, walking back and even spinning on the spot.
They were originally ring warlocks with excellent spatial talents, and it didn't take long for them to notice the strangeness of this dark maze. Every time they walked out about 5 meters, the state of the space would change slightly. If there was no [Source of Chaos] or something like that,
If you want to get out of the maze with the help of relics or thaumaturgy, you need to experience this change carefully and find the direction to the exit through trial and error.
But with the source of chaos, there is no need to consider these complicated things. The moonlight, which symbolizes the "guiding" characteristic of the moon, guides them. They only need to trust the moon and they can keep moving forward.
And in this darkness, the devil did not place any enemies or temptations to lure the two of them to the "fork in the road".
It took them more than two hours to finally see the light in the darkness. They followed the yellow moonlight in a large circle before finally touching the light.
Then the darkness collapsed, and the surroundings were once again surrounded by the heavy fog on the island.
Looking around, they were clearly still on the street outside the bedroom where they were sleeping.
