Chapter 1220 Phase Gate
It was pitch black ahead, and nothing could be seen.
But at this moment, Waddell gently threw the oil lamp in his hand.
The oil lamp finally landed steadily in the center of a hill of bones. With the dim light, a tall throne could be vaguely seen not far away.
Is this the land of darkness? A pile of bones and a dilapidated throne?
When Angel was wondering, Waddell's bone scepter gently touched the void, and a cold wind blew, blowing the flame in the oil lamp into the distance.
The long and swaying flame swept across the sky, burning a hole in the darkness.
As the flame flew away, Angel vaguely saw the outline of some artificial buildings in the deeper darkness.
When he was wondering, the dim flame that seemed to flicker suddenly shone brightly, like a sun, illuminating the darkness of an area!
The light drove away the deep darkness, and what appeared before them was a magnificent city that shocked everyone!
This city is similar to some towns I saw outside before, but the buildings here are not dilapidated. The high-rise buildings are densely arranged. The streets are narrow but the floor tiles are very flat. There are vivid statues standing on each street. The carvings in the details are also matched with various colors. There are also primitive towers and tall walls that seem to be connected to the darkness!
This city is full of white bones! Countless dead spirits shuttle between the high-rise buildings in the city!
But this is not enough to reach the level of "magnificence". What really shocked Angel was the sky above the city!
A magnificent and extremely huge bone gate is suspended in the air!
In terms of height, it is at least more than 50 meters.
The gate is now closed, and various mysterious patterns are carved on the facade. And the door frame is covered with piles of bones of various shapes.
From a distance, the door frame of the gate is still falling. A closer look shows that it is the bones climbing on the doorposts of the gate, falling down like snow! The bones were as white as the snow in midwinter!
One of the skeletons fell not far from them. A closer look revealed that it was the skeleton of an Abyss Crocodile. After landing, a chilly red light flashed in the white eye sockets of the Abyss Crocodile.
It looked at Angell and others with resentful eyes.
However, when the skeleton of the Abyss Crocodile saw Wardle, it paused and did not move forward. Instead, it turned around and jumped more than ten meters high. After a few jumps, it disappeared into the dark side of the city.
"The original Tan continent has just recovered from the overturn, so this gate, which was originally invalid, is also starting to anchor the coordinates of various spaces again. Because of this, it will cause some vibrations, causing the skeletons clinging to it to fall down." Wardle explained.
While Angell was still shocked by this magnificent city of the dead and the terrifying white bone gate, suddenly, Greywood behind him seemed to think of something and pointed at the white bone gate in the air and said, "Is this the phase gate?"
Phase gate? Angel turned his head and looked at Wardle.
Wardle nodded: "Yes, you are indeed the descendant of the Fire Emblem Demon, a demon noble. You are very knowledgeable. This is indeed the Phase Gate."
Greywood, who was still in shock, was startled by this sudden compliment. His face flushed unconsciously, and he said shyly: "I am not a Fire Emblem Demon yet, so I will not be happy if you praise me now."
Angel ignored Greywood, whose mood changed obviously and whose whole body was full of happiness, and looked at the gate in the sky with burning eyes.
This is the Phase Gate recognized by Wardle!
Fafnir once told him that there are major phase faces in the abyss. Each phase face, like the four major realms of the wizard world, has an extremely long space-time distance. Therefore, if you want to go to other phase faces, you can only go through the Phase Gate!
Therefore, the Phase Gate is an extremely important passage hub, and it is impossible for ordinary demons to master it casually.
Generally speaking, the Phase Gate is guarded by the Demon Lord! Moreover, those who can possess the Phase Gate are basically Demon Lords with strength comparable to that of Demon Gods, or in other words, Lords with powerful backgrounds.
Therefore, according to Angel's own judgment, he probably won't be able to touch the Phase Gate in a short time.
But what he didn't expect was that there was actually one here? !
Could it be that Wardel's identity is... a Demon Lord?
Angel suddenly remembered that although Wardel had introduced himself before, he didn't reveal his true identity, because this was the Han Ancient Ruins, and Angel tacitly assumed that Wardel was an aboriginal. Maybe, he is actually a demon?
Perhaps seeing the doubt in Angel's eyes, Wardle explained: "I was indeed a native of the Abyss."
"The Phase Gate was originally established by the Abyss Demon Eye, which inherited the will of the Abyss. The first few gates were distributed to several overlords of the Abyss at that time. At that time, going to other phase planes was monopolized by these few overlords. Later, some powerful demons were also able to create phase gates, and this gradually became common... However, although it is common, it is still not much. There are no more than ten gates in one phase plane at most."
"And this phase gate, called Skeleton, was originally forged by the Abyss Demon Eye and distributed to Kansamovich, the king of the natives at that time. This is the original Cold Ancient Emperor, whose strength is almost comparable to the most powerful demon lords."
"Kansamovich established the Skeleton Gate in a stronghold in the inner layer of the abyss. However, later, the Cold Ancient Era gradually came to an end. Before Kansamovich died, he took this gate to the Yuantan Continent and finally stayed in the dark land."
"Because of this door, many peeping and coveting eyes came with greed and evil thoughts, and many battles occurred because of it, causing countless natives to be forced to leave the Yuantan Continent. Until later, a demon god created a new phase gate, and peace gradually returned here."
After listening to Waddell's explanation, Angell realized: "In other words, this is the phase gate that belongs exclusively to the natives?"
"Yes."
Angel: "If I want to leave here, do I have to go through the phase gate?"
"If you want to go to other phase planes, I can send you away through the phase gate. However, the continent has recovered from the overturning, and the space energy is also re-stabilizing. It may take some time for the phase gate to re-anchor the coordinates."
Angel has thought about going to other phase planes, because he can go to other wizard realms by going to other phase planes.
For example, the Western Continent, the Eastern Territory, and the Northern Territory.
It is said that other wizard realms have the opportunity to contact the Source World.
The Source World has the top combat power in the wizard world, and it is also the place that wizards are most eager to go. Unfortunately, the passage to the Source World in the Southern Territory Wizard World has been destroyed by humans. Therefore, all wizards who break through the legend in the Southern Territory will eventually leave, because there is no way to the Source World in the Southern Territory.
Even though Angell yearns for other wizard realms and the Source World, now is not the time to leave the Southern Territory.
Not to mention that Jon's condition is not stable yet, so he can't leave; in addition, Toby's curse has not been solved. Even if the "domain field" barely covers up the curse, it does not mean that the curse has been lifted. He still needs to go to the Ice Valley to ask Odkras for help.
The most important thing is that after experiencing this journey to the abyss, Angel has become more aware of the importance of strength. Before he reaches a stable strength, he does not plan to go to dangerous places again.
Going to other phases through the phase gate will inevitably lead to other abysses. I heard that the barren face is already the lowest level among the major phases of the abyss. If he goes to other more powerful abysses and has no self-protection ability, how can he find a way to other wizarding worlds?
Thinking of this, Angel pondered and said, "I have no plans to go to other phases for the time being. If I want to go to the ancient cold ruins outside from here, is it okay? It's the area on the surface of the abyss."
The ancient cold ruins outside are very close to the Ice Valley. Even if you don't use the gravity veins, just take a gondola and you can arrive in about half a day.
It would be the best if we could go directly from Yuantan Continent to the ancient cold ruins in the outside world.
Angell also believed that since the ancient cold ruins in the outside world could be transmitted to this Yuantan Continent, there must be a passage to leave.
"Do you want to go to Moliere Land? It is indeed mistaken for the ancient cold ruins in the outside world." Wardell looked enlightened.
"Is it okay?"
Wardell thought for a moment: "It's okay to go there, because it is connected to Moliere Land. However, if you go there, you have to wait until Garm wakes up."
"What is Garm?"
"The gatekeeper of the death realm, it is the subordinate of the Queen of Hell."
As Wardell narrated, Angell had a general understanding of Garm. This is a hellhound sleeping in the ancient cold city.
Hellhounds are not rare, but its owner is very scary.
The Queen of Hell is a powerful ancient who controls the dark death prison, and even Kurondo is her subordinate. Garm has followed the Queen of Hell for many years, and his power is also extremely powerful, even comparable to a half-step legend.
However, Garm was sent by the Queen of Hell to do a secret thing two thousand years ago, and he was seriously injured when he came back.
So, Kurondo brought Garm to Yuantan Continent to recuperate with the dark power here.
And the place where Garm chose to rest happened to be the entrance to Moliere Land.
"In other words, Garm blocked the passage? If you want to leave, you can only wait for it to wake up?"
Waddell nodded.
"But I remember that from time to time, outsiders entered Yuantan Continent from the outside world. Why is that?" Angel frowned, and Guxia's face appeared in his mind.
"Garm is the agent of death. It wakes up frequently, but the duration of awakening is often only a moment. Whenever it wakes up, it will subconsciously release the meaning of death. And those who fall into Yuantan Continent from the outside world are basically those who are unfortunate enough to be hit by the meaning of death."
