“This trial is definitely rigged.”
Ye Lin put on a serious face, walked over, squatted down, and poked Isabella’s face. She didn’t wake up. He squeezed her arm with a little more force, but she still didn’t wake up.
“Don’t be so reckless. That’s the Third Princess. If they find out, you’ll be beheaded for insulting the royal family.”
Siate rolled her eyes, her heart filled with worry. They had no idea how to break into the final layer now.
In about ten minutes, the evil gaze would condense again, and without the amulet, Ye Lin and Isabella would be in extreme danger.
However, thankfully, all the Destroyers on this layer had been cleared out. As long as the gaze couldn’t directly kill, everything would be fine.
Because Isabella landed face first when she was thrown down, they first had to turn the noble Princess over and then pour a World Instrument into her to verify if the World Instrument was effective on a comatose state.
“Cough cough, what unknown liquid did you make this Princess drink?”
Isabella covered her mouth, waking up with a cough and a retch, her face flushed and somewhat embarrassed.
The face of Delos’s Third Princess was truly lost…
First, she coveted the Apostle’s treasure and rushed to the top, only to be thrown down twice by the Destroyer, landing face first both times.
If that were all, it would be fine, but these people, whose treasures she had “stolen,” not only didn’t blame her but also saved her with a mysterious potion.
The Princess’s face was burning, partly from pain, partly from embarrassment.
“It’s effective, but it can’t guarantee continuous use. Ten seconds of duration is too short. Don’t forget there are still Destroyers up there. It’s impossible to deal with the Destroyers, guard against gaze attacks, and use the World Instrument all at the same time.”
After a thorough discussion, Siate also admitted that even if she went all out, taking potions and buffs, she couldn’t achieve effective attacks within ten seconds.
If it were thirty seconds, they could take a gamble, but there was no guarantee that after the attack, the Destroyers would still be benevolent and throw them down by their legs.
What if they were directly chopped up? What if they were directly thrown out of Suspended City…
“I have many royal secret treasures on me, but without exception, none of them work. Perhaps only an Awakener can glimpse some insight?”
Isabella probably felt ashamed, or perhaps she understood that she truly couldn’t do it alone, and began to actively offer suggestions.
“Not necessarily. Seghete might not allow Awakeners to come up. If Professionals still have a chance to change their ultimate skills and find another way, then Awakeners have almost solidified their path, which means Awakeners cannot achieve the purpose of the trial.”
To personally experience this feeling, Ye Lin grabbed a bottle of World Instrument and stepped towards the final layer.
Buzz…
The moment he stepped onto the highest layer, an almost frantic weariness devoured his reason, eroding his limbs and bones, and a sense of powerlessness erupted from his heart.
So sleepy… So tired…
Using the World Instrument, the weariness and powerlessness swept away, but just as he walked towards a tightly closed Evil Eye, the colors of dozens of Destroyer armors in the center of this layer began to change, about to awaken!
“No, no, I can’t do it.”
Gritting his teeth, he used another World Instrument. Ye Lin stumbled and threw down an RX-78 Striker, attempting to use mechanical power to cleverly destroy the Destroyer and the Evil Eye.
However, before the Striker could move a few steps, a fist-sized eye suddenly cracked open on the ground, shining a laser from within, instantly melting the Striker into a puddle of metallic liquid.
At the same time, the mysterious book and strange dragon horn suspended at the top of the two Evil Eyes were naturally etched into his mind.
The things left behind by Apostle Bakal must possess extraordinary value.
Subsequently, even after waiting for the Evil Eye’s next gaze, they found no way to break the current stalemate.
Creak…
Bang!
Because both times the Evil Eye targeted Ye Lin, Siate took a gamble and gave her amulet to Ye Lin.
It proved she was right; cracks first appeared on the amulet’s surface, and then it directly shattered.
“It solved the immediate crisis, but not being able to go up isn’t a solution either.”
Just as Ye Lin was troubled and considering whether to go down and ask Shalan and the Old man for help, Mai Lu seemed to have an unexpected discovery.
“Kelah, what delicious things do you have in your pocket? Mi Gao keeps nudging your pocket with its horn.”
Kelah’s clothes were still the blue fashionable vest Ye Lin had given her, with two small pockets on either side, very convenient for carrying things.
“What food do I have? In my pocket… Oh, right, right, a glowing stone I picked up. It might be a magic stone. I even wanted Ye Lin to put it on my belt.”
Kelah happily took out the magic stone. This blue magic stone, floating on the second-to-last layer, emitted a faint green glow, but its surface had a hard shell that hadn’t opened, so its properties were unknown.
This magic stone was also one of her most important gains in Sky City.
Her palm held a magic stone the size of a baby’s fist, with an uneven surface but pointed at both ends, glowing faintly.
“Wait, this thing…”
Ye Lin took the magic stone and frowned. It had a somewhat familiar scent.
“Its interior seems to contain a very powerful energy, but only a very small portion of it is dissipating.”
Binuoxiu, as a capable single-element Fire Elementalist, gave her evaluation; she also didn’t know what this item was.
“Let me try.”
Under the effect of Fifth Element, the mysterious magic stone’s shell gradually peeled away, and the dissipating energy grew stronger and stronger.
Just as everyone’s eyes were fixed on the magic stone, a pillar of light shot up from the ground, and the magic stone actually floated up, in the center of the light!
Ye Lin and the others had to step back, avoiding this sudden strong light, while simultaneously feeling speechless. Was the stone Kelah grabbed actually the key to the next layer?
Buzz!
Rumble!
The light pillar came and went quickly. Everyone quickly shifted their gaze to the magic stone, but in the next instant, they were filled with surprise.
The magic stone was gone, replaced by a massive, cylindrical stone pillar, entirely mud-gray, emitting an ancient and heavy aura.
“What is this thing? The magic stone turned into this?”
Yuena poked the stone pillar with her finger. It was about five meters tall, and three people might not even be able to hug it.
“Damn it, so this is what the trial is.”
Ye Lin slapped his forehead. Seeing this familiar pillar, he finally remembered what was going on.
Isn’t this just an Abyssal Pillar, summoning four muscular Abyssal Devils? After defeating them, you get equipment rewards. It was once the only way to obtain top-tier equipment, and countless people were captivated by that flash of light…
As for that stone, it wasn’t a magic stone at all, but a demon-breaking stone used to open a passage for the Abyssal Devils to travel!
Bakal’s trial was actually to defeat the Abyssal Devils. That makes sense; only then would it barely be fitting for Bakal’s status.
Thousands of mountains and rivers, always love, how about giving an epic!
Flash for Daddy!
