Chapter 50: Teleportation Array
“It’s time to end this farce.”
The dust cleared, and what appeared before Tyr was a figure different from the Dragon Slayer before, it was a form that could be called that of a young girl.
Originally eleven or twelve years old, now one could judge her to be fourteen or fifteen.
What shocked Tyr even more was that the Dragon Slayer actually blocked the terrifying blow of the ogre with just one hand!
Moreover, besides the land where the Dragon Slayer stood, all other places were in ruins. Obviously, this was the use of Qi surpassing the power of the ogre!
Only the “Emperor” could effortlessly block such a peak strike, comparable to the [Broken Army] level, with just one hand!
“Feel the fear, insect.”
The Dragon Slayer curled the corner of her mouth, a gesture that suddenly made the ogre feel a hint of fear from the depths of its heart.
Following that was a roar from the Dragon Slayer!
“Martial Arts, Inch!”
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The continuous explosions reverberated on the ogre’s arm. Each explosion made the ogre scream in despair. It was more painful than any previous attack. Even though only its arm was injured, the pain seemed to magnify a hundred or a thousand times! Such an impact made the ogre almost collapse in just a few seconds!
Roar~~~
Seeing that the ogre had reached the brink of shock, the Dragon Slayer breathed a sigh of relief. Then, her face suddenly turned pale, as if seriously injured, devoid of blood color. With a stagger, she collapsed to the ground!
Tyr was startled and quickly ran to the Dragon Slayer’s side to lift her up, then he dashed towards the interior of the fortress on tiptoe.
“What’s going on? Was that just now a forbidden technique?”
Tyr looked at the Dragon Slayer, who was clearly in great discomfort, covering her chest, and couldn’t help but say with a hint of reproach,
“It’s not to the point of losing yet!”
“Ha…haha. Cough, cough!”
“And you’re still laughing!”
“Cough, cough. No, I just feel like Mr. 123 and my brother really resemble each other.”
“But I’m younger than you, aren’t I?”
“Ah~ Mr. 123, you’re so cunning.” The Dragon Slayer chuckled, but more followed was a series of weak coughs.
“That’s right, what I just did could be considered a forbidden technique, but I’ve already put the ring back on, so I’ll recover after resting for a while. Although it’ll be uncomfortable at first, cough, cough, it’s a kind of forbidden technique that doesn’t have any lasting effects, unlike those that reduce age… cough, cough.”
“Okay, okay, I got it. So, no need to explain. Just take a good rest for now.”
“No, there’s still something to do.”
“What?”
“Just now, after I elevated my strength to the ‘Emperor’ level, I faintly sensed that two ‘Emperor’ level humans are flying towards this direction at full speed ahead in the tunnel.”
“They should be military personnel. They probably sensed the battle over here and rushed to help. Shouldn’t we show ourselves? I believe they will help us get out.”
“No, cough, I just have a feeling that the aura emanating from those two individuals doesn’t seem like they’re here to rescue us. My intuition tells me they’re trouble, not help.”
The Dragon Slayer frowned, evidently confident in her judgment.
Tyr nodded solemnly. Having spent time in the Funeral Great Forest, Tyr knew that it’s better to be safe than sorry. Thinking back to the altar of the Oracle Book just now, for some reason, Tyr couldn’t shake the feeling that he had inadvertently stepped into some terrible plan.
“Wait!” Just as Tyr was about to duck into a small room, Dragon Slayer suddenly tugged lightly at his clothes.
“From the beginning, I had a feeling, but now it’s completely certain: there’s a teleportation fluctuation underground in this fortress!” Dragon Slayer’s eyes gleamed as he pointed downwards, continuing.
“Cough, and it’s a large-scale teleportation array. We need to find a way to get down there quickly!”
“Okay!” Although Tyr didn’t know what a teleportation array was, it was evident from Dragon Slayer’s excited expression that it was probably a lifesaver.
After circling within the fortress for almost a minute, Tyr finally arrived in the basement under Dragon Slayer’s guidance. The ogres outside were no longer roaring, but the heavy and labored breathing let Tyr know that the other party obviously had not yet died.
That’s one terrifying fellow.
The tenacity of that ogre has surely exceeded Tyr’s comprehension. Even a strike of the 【Emperor】 level couldn’t kill it. Presumably, even his former self at the peak could only defeat this fellow, but killing it would be next to impossible.
“So huge!”
Tyr exclaimed in disbelief. The space before him, rather than being a basement, seemed more like an air-raid shelter for escaping disaster. It was even larger than the entire fortress above ground. In the center of the spacious basement stood an enormous teleportation array, with countless runes continuously rotating on it, emitting a faint blue light that looked incredibly mystical.
“So this is the teleportation array…”
“Yeah, it can probably accommodate thirty thousand people moving at the same time… How could such a large teleportation array appear here?” Dragon Slayer, like Tyr, was also very puzzled. Clearly, there was no one inside the fortress, yet such a huge teleportation array remained activated. The amount of magic stones consumed in this process could be described using astronomical figures.
“Anyway, let’s try this teleportation array first.” Seeing that Dragon Slayer didn’t speak again, Tyr assumed that he agreed with his suggestion. So, he took the initiative to grab Dragon Slayer and rush into the array with a determined step!
“Wait! There’s a barrier outside the teleportation array!…”
Before Dragon Slayer could finish speaking, Tyr had already come into contact with an invisible barrier outside the array. However, this barrier shattered like glass upon Tyr’s body, emitting a loud bang. Afterward, the young man, holding the girl, leaped into the teleportation array.
Subsequently, that barrier, like a living organism, slowly healed once more, until finally, there was no discernible difference from before.
