Chapter 683 Journey to the Abyss
The figure of the female devil disappeared, but Enzo's face was as gloomy as water.
"Gustav was captured?"
Next to him, Mitchell looked astonished, as if he couldn't believe it, and said, "How did this guy do it?"
The Iron Wall Great Wall Fortress is the front line of the wizard side.
The female devil's ability to suddenly appear and capture Gustav in a short period of time obviously means that she has strong strength and weird methods, especially the artifact-level teleportation gun.
It is precisely relying on the teleportation gun that the female devil can come and go freely.
Until the wizards discovered that Gustav was missing, he had left the forest world and returned to the abyss.
And the other party obviously knows the Phantom Crows very well.
She could accurately say Enzo's name and had proven her intention to capture Gustav just to deal with Enzo. She also made it clear that she was waiting for him in the lava canyon on the 857th floor of the abyss.
"call!"
Enzo took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with luster. No matter what conspiracy the female devil had, since Gustave was caught, he had no reason to escape and had to go to the abyss.
"Hey! Are you planning to go to the abyss?"
Seeing Enzo's expression, Mitchell said in shock, "I think you should know very well what kind of ghost place the abyss is. The other party told you to go, so it's obvious that a trap has been laid."
"I know."
Enzo nodded and said solemnly: "But I have no reason to refuse, and it is impossible for me to watch mentor Gustav die."
"Who said Gustav would definitely die?"
Mitchell rolled his eyes and said, "In the wizard world, both I and Gustav have left a soul lamp long ago. If the body really dies in the forest world, it can also be reborn in the wizard world through the soul lamp." .”
"It's just that you will lose all your power."
"But even if you become a cultivator, it's better than committing a crime with your own life, right? It just takes hundreds or even thousands of years more. Gustav still has a chance to become a third-level wizard, and even reach a higher realm."
The soul lamp is a trump card left by Mitchell and Gustav.
Split part of your soul and stay in the wizarding world. Even if you die in the forest world, you can be reincarnated through the soul lamp, but the reincarnated Gustav and Mitchell will be ordinary people.
Although he has the memory of his past life, he does not have any fighting ability.
If you want to regain your strength, you must practice again, starting from an apprentice and growing into a third-level wizard step by step.
"I'm afraid we won't have this chance."
After hearing what Mitchell said, Enzo shook his head and said solemnly, "Since that female devil has the ability to capture the mentor and leave a signal for me, she must have known about us."
"Although the soul lamp can be reincarnated, it only occurs when the body dies."
"If that female devil catches the mentor and doesn't kill her, but throws her into the fire of purgatory and burns her, wouldn't the mentor's life be worse than death?"
Enzo spoke solemnly and shook his head slightly.
In the history of wizard civilization, this kind of situation is not unprecedented.
As the two top worlds in the multiverse, the Wizard and the Abyss have been dealing with each other for countless years. Both sides have an understanding of their respective methods. The soul lamp is not a very advanced method.
Therefore, the devil has many means to deal with Gustav.
For example, peeling off his soul and roasting it in the fire of purgatory, but not completely destroying his existence.
Something like this happened once on the 900th level of the abyss.
They have been at war with wizard civilization for many years. The demon lords of the abyss have also captured many wizards, but they did not kill them. Instead, they punished them with purgatory fire and made them suffer forever.
Until later, the 900th floor of the abyss was occupied by wizard civilization.
The wizards who were imprisoned in the fire of purgatory were finally freed. The soul of a certain fourth-level wizard had been burned by the fire of purgatory for a hundred thousand years. Even with the wizard's firm belief, he almost suffered a mental breakdown.
"So...you really decided to go to the abyss?"
Mitchell's tone was solemn and he said solemnly, "It's best to think clearly. The abyss is the most dangerous place in the multiverse, especially for wizards. Just being rejected by the rules is in danger of death."
"The 857th floor of the abyss is where the demon lords rule."
"Since that female devil left a signal for you, she has obviously laid a trap and is waiting for you to fall into the trap."
Enzo shook his head, with determination in his eyes.
Even if he knew it was a trap, he couldn't give up Gustave. For Enzo, Gustave was the most important person after he embarked on his journey as a wizard, and he had a deep love for him.
"Okay..." Seeing this, Mitchell stopped trying to persuade him.
"Don't worry, Mr. Mitchell."
Enzo nodded slightly and sneered, "Although the abyss is dangerous, I don't have no cards. Even if the female devil sets a trap and wants to keep me, it won't be that easy."
As a shadow wizard, what Enzo is best at is saving lives.
Using the power of the artifact's shadow camouflage, he can escape into the shadows at any time, and as a conqueror of all spirits, even the rules of the abyss world will not have much impact on him.
At the same time, Enzo will not be alone as he heads into the abyss.
In order to ensure his own safety, he plans to go all out. In addition to the three goddesses he has just conquered, Zuo Fei, who guards the war ghost world, will also follow Enzo to the abyss. The five fourth-level life forms joining forces are enough to deal with many dangers.
"Then when do you plan to leave?"
Mitchell hesitated, a hesitant expression on his face.
Enzo saw what he meant, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I know what Mr. Mitchell is worried about."
"After I leave, the forest world will be left to you."
"I will try my best to come back from the abyss. The Iron Wall Fortress should be able to stop the Thousand Hands Demon for a while. During my absence, Mr. Mitchell, please remember not to act rashly."
"Of course I know this."
Mitchell nodded and said with a wry smile: "The previous battle with the Thousand-Hand Demon has made me realize the gap between us. Even if I rely on the heart of the forest world, I cannot leapfrog the challenge."
Enzo nodded, thinking on his face.
Going to the abyss world to rescue Gustave is indeed a big challenge for him, especially when he knows there are traps ahead. Even if Enzo goes all out, it is impossible to guarantee absolute safety.
What's more important is the situation in the forest world.
The devil who kidnapped Gustave apparently made a deal with the Thousand-Hand Demon. The other party induced Enzo to go to the abyss world, probably to create opportunities for the Thousand-Hand Devil. Therefore, after Enzo left, the devil would inevitably launch a general attack.
And the wizard side without Enzo will inevitably fall into an absolute disadvantage.
It is even unknown whether Mitchell alone can stop the Thousand-Handed Demon, but the current situation does not allow Enzo to think too much.
"I wish I could hold on until you come back!"
Mitchell took a deep breath, worry still flashed in his eyes, and he didn't have much confidence in his own strength.
There was also a hint of helplessness in Enzo's eyes.
The strange methods of the female devil caught the wizard by surprise. Originally, after Enzo sealed the Skeleton King Raymond, the scale of victory had begun to tilt, but now something happened again.
"Skeleton King Raymond?"
Suddenly, Enzo's heart moved. The Skeleton King Raymond who was sealed by him was the lord of the 857th floor of the abyss.
Perhaps, the other party can play some role.
Afterwards, Enzo and Mitchell parted ways, leaving the Iron Wall Fortress alone and coming to the Lital area at the rear.
Not far away, the land was barren.
This was originally a forest area, but due to the witch formation set up by Enzo, the surrounding green was destroyed, so that the former forest had turned into a wasteland, leaving behind a black witch formation like a giant mouth.
Shadow chains are connected to a stone tablet.
Around the dark stone monument, illusory crows were constantly circling. Enzo slowly walked over, raised his hand to summon an phantom crow, and after absorbing the opponent, he immediately understood the situation in the sealed land.
Skeleton King Raymond is sealed here.
After being sealed by the power of the Phantom Crow Thousand Spirits, the Skeleton King has been unable to escape from the illusion. Now he is lost in the illusion, and the power of death in his body is constantly being consumed.
The next moment, Enzo disappeared.
Above the gray fog filled wilderness, the sky was shrouded in shadows, and countless illusory crows flew up. Not far away, the Skeleton King Raymond was trapped in place, with chains wrapped around him.
"Damn wizard!"
Seeing Enzo appearing not far away, Skeleton King Raymond suddenly fell into a state of rage. He waved his hand and released a force of death, which instantly formed a huge scythe and slashed towards Enzo.
However, this is an illusion created by Enzo.
He didn't even dodge and allowed the scythe to chop at him, but the moment it fell, the black death scythe turned into black roses and flew away in all directions.
Skeleton King Raymond still refused to give up and let out an angry roar.
Immediately afterwards, the shadow chains wrapped around him were all broken by the power of death. Skeleton King Raymond directly transformed into a purgatory bone dragon and attacked directly in Enzo's direction.
Black dragon breath spurted out.
Enzo did not dodge or dodge, but stood calmly on the spot, letting the dragon's breath flow on his body and absorbing the energy inside.
"Give up, Raymond."
Enzo shook his head and said softly: "In the space I created, you cannot cause any harm. All the energy released by you will eventually be absorbed by the illusion."
"You want me to give up and stop dreaming!"
Raymond laughed wildly, and the power of death was released again. The sky that was originally shrouded in shadow was finally torn apart, and a shadow of the Styx slowly appeared, like a waterfall hanging upside down in the sky.
When the Skeleton King saw this, he suddenly became excited.
He thought he finally had a chance to break the illusion, release the power of death in his body, let the water of the Styx boil, and summon a large number of dead creatures.
Countless skeleton soldiers attacked Enzo at the same time.
In place, Enzo shook his head.
With a thought in his mind, a wall of fire ignited not far away. As the skeleton soldiers rushed towards them, they all disappeared in the flames like moths to the flame.
Then, Enzo raised his head.
He pointed at the shadow of the Styx in the sky, and the originally turbulent water of the Styx instantly turned into foam and shattered. Skeleton King Raymond also felt an unprecedented sense of suffocation.
Above the sky, a giant hand slapped down.
Raymond was directly pressed to the ground, unable to get up at all. The strong sense of oppression made him finally recognize the present world.
"Do you want to kill me? Wizard!"
But even so, the Skeleton King still refused to give in, roaring: "Even if I am killed here, as long as the life box is not destroyed, I can still be reborn in the abyss, and I will eventually avenge you again!"
The phylactery is the trump card of the Abyss Lord.
It is somewhat similar to the soul lamp of the wizard civilization. It seals a part of itself in a certain medium. After the body dies, the soul can be reincarnated, but its strength will be seriously damaged.
And Skeleton King Raymond made the phylactery as early as 10,000 years ago.
Even if Enzo kills him at this moment, the opponent can still be reincarnated with the help of the life box, but his strength will drop to that of a third-level life form. It will take a long life to restore the fourth-level realm.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you."
Enzo shook his head and said quietly, "Before finding your life box, death was more like a relief for you, right?"
Skeleton King Raymond snorted coldly.
Then, Enzo shook his head and said, "I don't want to talk nonsense. How about making a deal?"
"Huh?" Skeleton King Raymond was confused.
"I encountered some troubles and need to go to the abyss." Enzo said straight to the point: "As the lord of the 857th floor of the abyss, you should be familiar with it, right?"
"How about you sign a contract with me and I'll let you go free?"
"Hmph! Don't try to deceive me, wizard."
Skeleton King Raymond raised his head and sneered, "How do I know whether what you say is true or false?"
"Is there any difference to you?"
Enzo asked rhetorically, "You are trapped in a seal and you can never escape. Opportunities like this don't come around all the time."
"I don't want to waste time."
"Sign a soul contract with me and take me to the 857th floor of the abyss. When my mentor is rescued, you will be free."
Skeleton King Raymond, the soul fire in his skull flickered.
Enzo knew that the other party would reconsider. For Skeleton King Raymond, this was indeed an opportunity, but it could also be a trap.
Although he was sealed in the illusion, his life was not in danger.
Even if Enzo wanted to kill him, it would not be easy, but the conditions Enzo proposed now made Skeleton King Raymond feel wary, wondering what Enzo wanted to do.
Enzo shook his head and told what happened.
The main reason why he wanted to join forces with Skeleton King Raymond was that the other party was the lord of the 857th floor of the abyss and was very familiar with that area. By signing a soul contract, Enzo could obtain the temporary effectiveness of the other party.
This is a very important thing for Enzo.
