Chapter 82: Turbulent Demon King's Tomb!

Edge of the High Tower Area.

Ta Ke, in a Shadow State, swiftly and nimbly drifted through the darkness.

Three Shadowflame Magic Wolves followed Ta Ke like shadows.

With the boost of Hurricane Technique, Ta Ke's speed and agility could not be caught by ordinary blood clans of the same rank.

At least a blood clan with a 'Sequence Rank' or similar could keep up.

Behind Ta Ke came the howls of the Dark Sun Depraved and the curses of the Herders.

"Shameless sneak attacker!"

"That damned human runs too fast."

"We clearly surrounded that dirty, despicable guy, yet he still got away."

If it weren't for Xi Luoer, this guy would have become Lamoer's 'genius'.

As soon as Ta Ke touched the Magic Gate, he felt a tidal force pushing him.

"Several forces with different intentions."

"Although this place is blocked by solid earth, using the Earth Rune Ring Staff to travel through the earth is no problem."

As he moved forward, Ta Ke surveyed his surroundings.

As for the Dark Sun Depraved, at least forty or fifty of them have died.

Just arrived near the Steam High Tower.

Steam Mages are the true version answer, the truth of the world!

His gaze swept over the inside situation, a mass of veins and residual traces came into view.

The various factions are constantly in dispute.

However.

As their unique magic network, they can also release vast amounts of magic in a short time.

They are already very close to the High Tower Area.

Under the watch of the supernatural guards on both sides, Ta Ke walked forward.

Even though the curses were extremely fierce.

Ta Ke fought while retreating, all the way to the edge of the High Tower Area.

Ta Ke stood before the Magic Gate leading to the underground passage.

Ta Ke's action naturally angered the Herders of the Dark Sun Church.

An Intermediate Herder above level forty, together with seven or eight Herders in their thirties, came after him.

Xi Luoer went straight to the High Tower's Archive, exchanged materials containing a small amount of Light Runes, made a lantern for Kalosu, and had him carry it every day.

"But…… this is clearly a closed space; where do the enemies come from?"

"Piling up corpses here will only cause pointless panic."

Inside the passage, mages cursed the Dark Sun Church while constantly casting spells to repair the magic wall lamps that became abnormally violent due to the Ashen Tide.

Ta Ke pushed hard and entered the Magic Gate.

On the eleventh floor of the Steam High Tower, after submitting the Demon King's Tomb credentials and undergoing a comprehensive inspection by the Enforcer Sequence.

"As for other such interference situations."

"Their combat ability and experience are also formidable."

In that gaze, a hint of killing intent could not be concealed.

Ta Ke took a deep breath and waited in peace.

A steamed bun sparked a tragedy between two different academy factions.

Compared to Ta Ke, a mage of the Source Energy Mage direction.

"Some means of passage heavily interfered with the stratum dimension."

After a priest's diagnosis, Kalosu needs continuous Holy Light power for cleansing.

"The Dark Sun's veins have indeed left traces on the Demon King's Seal Gate, and the tidal force has clearly seeped into the Demon King's Tomb."

Ta Ke then slowed his steps, letting the Shadowflame Magic Wolf enter his shadow.

With a casual swipe, Ta Ke could feel the Ashen Tide brushing his fingertips.

Regarding the Source Energy Mages, Arcane Mages, Single-Element Mages, and such factions, the question of who is the 'truth' arises.

Several strong auras gathered within the blocking barrier.

Even Xi Luoer, who has been in charge here, can only stand aside at this moment.

Though the eastern things are precious, their effect is also outstanding.

"A traitor? Or?"

Ta Ke continued to enhance his Precise Vision to search for traces.

After an inspection, Ta Ke's gaze fell on the walls with chaotic dimensional veins, more precisely within the Earth Stratum.

At this moment, Kalosu holds a small lantern radiating Holy Light properties; that scorching holy light could serve as a furnace.

"After fighting the Dark Sun Depraved a few times, they figured out that their virtual-real beings and flesh-and-blood beings have certain differences, then they perform virtual-real transformation to complete the hunt."

Ta Ke then heard a familiar, slightly urgent voice—it was Kalosu.

Ta Ke used his strong Precise Vision to see that the mysterious stratum of the Ashen Tide was stacked atop the real dimension.

Carrying out various experiments and connections of several spells.

That firepower boils down to one word—ferocious.

Ta Ke placed his gaze on the Demon King's Seal Gate within the energy barrier.

"My sister told me to wait for you here; hurry over!"

「Underground Demon King's Lair! 」

「Hmm, there are many bloodstains, no corpses, they must have been collected. 」

All factions were mercilessly crushed beneath the cold steam rails.

From Carlos's hurried speech, Taku clearly realized that this incident was not simple.

「Without a doubt, the Dark Sun Church is also plotting the Demon King's Tomb. 」

Similar traces were quickly captured by Taku.

「Shadowflame Demon Wolf, indeed there's something. 」

Taku fiddled with the supernatural storage bracelet on his wrist.

「What's happening? 」

The young arcane mage glanced at Taku and then walked past him.

「The enemies of the Dark Sun Church passed through the earth's soil layer and ambushed the guards here. 」

「That should be using the power of the tides. 」

Philip Bro!

【Arcane Mage】is more like a self-propelled artillery turret.

Feeling those traces of killing intent.

Moreover, they keep appearing.

The force pulling on one's source pool is weak.

「My few spells are fine in direction; just need to polish the details for smoother, natural release—mastering them would be perfect. 」

Carlos's condition is much better.

「Not only do they possess astonishing wisdom, they can cooperate with each other. 」

But!

Until the rumbling sound of steam machinery arose.

Previously, Taku also came to look once, but the guard force then was obviously incomparable to now.

During the era when the supernatural sects exploded.

This time, Taku found a good opportunity and took down two "Grazer".

Taku quickly summarized this battle experience and the directions needing adjustment in his mind.

「As long as I touch the second layer of the Demon King's Tomb, it's enough. 」

After pulling away a distance, I could no longer hear those Dark Sun Church Grazer and Dark Sun Depraved.

Often, they clash over a seemingly ordinary resource area.

Invasion! Ambush! Battle!

The power of the ash tide continuously scours the world where Taku is, and the wave's sound rings in his ears.

But their footsteps had to stop.

These days, Taku keeps entering the darkness outside the high tower district.

Immediately, Taku's eyes narrowed and his smile gradually turned ferocious.

「This ecology is getting stranger and stranger. 」

「Something's wrong with the Underground Demon King's Lair over there. 」

As a result, they were taken by Xiloer, and there were two of them!

Taku estimates that this guy called Philip Bro is probably already furious beyond endurance.

「Taku! 」

「There's a high chance a large number of enemies have invaded. 」

「I just don't know what form they'll take. 」

Taku narrowed his eyes.

「It's impossible for a large number of invaders to each have an earth rune ring staff. 」

Their mage ecology is not as stable as that of source energy mages.

Calculating the time, Taku also roughly knows that the opening of the Demon King's Tomb will be in a day or two.

Approaching the position near the gate of the Demon King's Tomb.

Taku, of course, knows this genius newcomer from La More.

「It seems the situation is quite serious; it looks like several strong individuals have gone over. 」

It is said that, waiting for the steam core, this guy stayed at level 19 for several years.

His gaze swept over the surroundings; the sound of the deep tide surging was clearly heard in Taku's ears.

「I don't mind using my current arcane arts; please let them eat a few more arcane bullets. 」

The discord between different mages still exists quite a bit.

「Gurgle…」

The two walked side by side into the interior of the high tower; Taku lowered his voice and asked.

Moreover, because of the construction of the ecological magic net.

And the experimental target is naturally those Dark Sun Depraved.

Not long after, a spellcaster in purple robes from the arcane mage sequence came from behind.

「It seems the guy knows I obtained the steam core. 」

Taku can easily break free without using the shadow form.

Fortunately, Taku's Primordial Dark Sea is not affected by external tidal forces.

"Using the power of the tide, moving through the solid earth, this... is somewhat interesting."

"At this moment, the magical wall lamp seemed to have taken a strong tonic, the flame blazed, all broke through the glass cover of the magical wall lamp, illuminating the entire underground passage as if it were daytime."

"The wide underground passage, on both sides are magical wall lamps extending forward along the cave walls."

"No matter how they proceed..."

"Ta Ke raised his eyebrows slightly, took a deep breath, and quickened his pace."

"Ta Ke, while moving forward, began to quickly summarize the gains of this trip."

"The cursing behind him gradually faded away."

"The dark plot of the Eclipse Sun Church."

"A genius of the same faction who harbors covetous intentions toward me."

"This trip to the Demon King's tomb is becoming more and more interesting."
