The Strongest Magician of Gods
Chapter 36: Encountering Danger at the Threshold
The palace was filled with massive stone pillars, the result of a fierce battle. The pillars bore the marks of being burned, and many had turned a dark brown color.
It was filthy and messy, covered with cobwebs, and the foundation was piled with construction debris.
Mo Bei walked through the palace, where a long corridor shimmered with a faint fluorescent light.
Mo Bei wiped the spider webs off the wall, and a bright fluorescent light appeared much brighter. He could only imagine how magnificent and solemn the palace must have been in the past, but now this corridor was covered with spider webs, obscuring its former brightness.
Inside the silent, empty palace, muffled groans could be heard.
As Mo Bei ventured deeper, the sound swirled in his ears, becoming increasingly clear.
"Looks like we've arrived."
He trudged along the path, taking small steps, and followed the faint sound into a large hall.
Immediately afterwards, a dark cellar entrance slanted into the hall, and the signs of a struggle on it clearly indicated that it had been destroyed by magic, causing the foundation to collapse.
"Another hole has appeared."
Mo Bei's ethereal body quietly slipped into the cave entrance. At that moment, the air suddenly became much more intense, and a chill swept over him, causing him to shiver.
"Could it be that I guessed wrong?"
Mo Bei was puzzled. Ronan hadn't come here to imprison the principal, but rather to discover the mysterious palace and search for treasure.
"Ta-ta"
He ventured deeper into the cave entrance, where the ground was filled with flowing water. A thin, cold current circulated from his ankles, making the chill even more biting.
Puzzle and confusion accompanied Mo Bei. He pondered the style of the ruined palace, which was too old, too terrifyingly ancient. Such an ancient palace was hidden under the library of Austin Magic Academy. The two spanned several centuries. Could there be any connection between them?
"Crunch, crunch"
Just then, as Mo Bei was lost in thought, the sound of rattling iron chains came from the deepest part of the cave entrance.
The chains clashed violently, accompanied by bursts of angry shouts.
"Old man, tell me quickly, where exactly did you hide the forbidden magic passed down from your clan? If you don't tell me, I'll torture you. I suppose you don't want to suffer the pain of having your soul burned by divine fire!"
The sound waves reverberated through the space, and Mo Bei involuntarily shivered.
"It really is him."
Mo Bei was shocked and furious; that voice was all too familiar.
"What audacity!" Mo Bei was utterly enraged.
A weak, feeble laugh soon came from deep within the cave.
"Hehe, there's no need to ask anymore. Asking will only be a waste of time. I'm an old man, and I've seen all kinds of tricks. I'm not very familiar with the forbidden magic of my clan. Otherwise, with your current abilities, how could you be my opponent? You should just make your move!"
A sense of desolation filled the emptiness, and the aged voice contained both helplessness and kindness, indicating that the owner of the voice had already taken life and death in stride.
"headmaster"
Mo Bei exclaimed in surprise. As the memories swirled in his mind, he suddenly realized who this person was.
"Tap Tap"
In an instant, Mo Bei's entire body glided rapidly.
Those were memories in his mind, which caused his emotions to fluctuate.
"Whoa"
Mo Bei stealthily made his way through the dark cave entrance, occasionally hearing the sound of running, but he couldn't see any figures, and could even feel the panting between their breaths.
"Oh no, the vital energy is leaking out."
Mo Bei's invisibility technique was finally broken, and his ethereal body gradually emerged from stealth, from one arm to half of his chest cavity, and then to his head. At this moment, he looked somewhat terrifying.
It was as if half of his body had been neatly severed by a sharp weapon, and he was floating in the air.
"Swish"
The next moment, Mo Bei nervously held his breath, activated the magic power within his body, and became invisible once again.
"Fortunately, it was discovered in time. The invisibility technique is only at the beginner level, and its application is too limited."
Mo Bei murmured to himself, then composed himself and peered into the dark cave entrance once more.
This time, a pool of water appeared on the ground at the cave entrance, blocking the way and spanning about ten feet.
Mo Bei's eyes widened in shock, and suddenly a small pool appeared in front of him, causing him to stop abruptly.
The pool was perpetually cold, with mist swirling on its surface and billowing icy air. Mo Bei stuck his head out to examine it.
The pool wasn't deep, only about half a person could be submerged. Upon closer inspection, the entrance to the cave had fallen into disrepair over the years, and a section of the path was low-lying and filled with water droplets that had been dripping from the lava over the years.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness."
Mo Bei relaxed. If the pool in front of him was too deep, it would be troublesome. He would have to use his magic to jump over it. In the current situation, as long as his magic fluctuated, Ronan would definitely be able to detect it. At that time, the advantage of the invisibility spell would be completely lost.
"Wade through"
Mo Bei pondered for a moment, then lifted his foot and stepped into the pool.
"chichi"
As he stepped into the pool, a glimmer of silver light flashed on the surface, disappearing in an instant.
"Strange, why is this water warm?"
As Mo Bei stepped inside, a terrifying sense of crisis instantly descended upon him.
"That is..." Mo Bei looked at the pool water with a pounding heart.
"Boom"
In the center of the pool, an intense burst of lightning seemed to erupt. The moment Mo Bei touched the water, it was as if he had stepped into a calm oil pan.
"Zi La"
A terrifying silver light surged across the pool water in an instant, accompanied by thick lightning, causing it to ripple.
"how so"
Mo Bei was struck by lightning, instantly exposing his stealthy body, and his magic robe was torn to shreds by the lightning.
"Zizi"
The terrifying lightning strike spread across Mo Bei's body, causing him to lose control and be instantly pulled into the pool.
"thump"
Large splashes of water erupted, and as Mo Bei struggled, a deafening thunderous roar assaulted his ears, while a terrifying aura raged across his entire field of vision.
"Boom"
Terrifying lightning strikes came from all directions, completely engulfing Mo Bei.
That was terrifying. At this moment, Mo Bei frantically circulated the magic power within his body. His body was numb, and a violent vortex swirled in the pool, swallowing him up.
Oh no!
Streaks of lightning raged, suddenly pouring into his body and tearing his flesh apart. Mo Bei cried out in alarm.
"Boom boom"
Mo Bei's body was covered in blood vessels, and blood was flowing from all seven orifices, but he could do nothing but circulate the magic power in the magic source.
A surge of violent lightning energy drilled into Mo Bei's body, then surged into his meridians and bones as his magic power circulated.
"Whoosh"
At this critical moment, Mo Bei's face showed fear, but then he was suddenly shocked.
The force of lightning raged through the body, and a flash of lightning flickered within the skin.
"Pop"
A crisp sound came from the body, as if the hidden power within the body had been fully activated.
At this moment, Mo Bei's body was radiating dazzling lightning, with streaks of lightning flowing through his meridians and intertwining with the fire elemental power.
"Who"
At this moment, Ronan, far away deep in the cave, was shocked and furious in the empty sound channel.
Inside the cave, thunder roared, a terrifying sound like a heavenly tribulation. The booming of lightning filled the air as bolts of lightning, as thick as buckets, struck the pool water, illuminating the dark cave entrance.
Large swaths of water turned into rain and fell, accompanied by flashes of lightning and booming sounds, and a figure rushed over urgently in the distance.
"Who is it?" Ronan was furious, his ugly face turning sinister and terrifying. His magical power emanated from him, and his eyes gleamed with an unusual light.
"oh"
He froze, staring at the tattered pieces of magic robe floating in the air. Ronan reached out and picked up a piece of cloth, sniffed it lightly, and sneered.
"He overestimated himself and deserved to die. Luckily, I set up the Thunder Pool; I'll wait for him to come up, then kill him."
Amidst a flurry of lightning, cold rain poured down, leaving Ronan soaked to the bone, his eyes gleaming fiercely as he waited.
The thunderous pool surged, and bolts of lightning shook the palace, causing large shards of stone to tumble down.
The lightning strike lasted for more than half an hour before the water returned to calm.
"Um"
At this moment, Ronan was surprised and waited for a long time, but no one emerged from the Thunder Pool.
"Could he have been struck by lightning? A mage who could track me must be at least a high-level being. How could he be killed by such power? It's possible he was severely injured. Perhaps he knew he was no match for me now and was planning to hide underwater to recover? What a clever idea, heh!"
Ronan wore a cruel smile, and the magic within his body instantly began to circulate.
