Chapter 2119 A Familiar Light
When Angel returned to the study, he looked back at the tree spirit.
The tree spirit looked calm, but the hidden flames could be clearly seen in the depths of his eyes.
For the tree spirit, besides gossip, his greatest pleasure was adventure and exploration. Unfortunately, his body was confined to the mirror world, and it was difficult for him to go out to explore. This time, following Angel to the hidden room was a rare opportunity to explore, so he was naturally very excited.
When the tree spirit saw Angel starting to prepare defense, he said, "If there is really danger, you don't have to worry about me. I'm just a split spirit, and it won't have any impact even if I die."
Angel nodded.
"You don't have to worry too much. If there is really an irresistible danger, I will send someone to save you as soon as possible."
The tree spirit said so, but there was a hint of excitement in his tone, and he seemed to be very happy to see this scene. After all, how can it be called an adventure if there is no dangerous exploration.
After Angel prepared his own defense, he immediately began to arrange the barrier for the study.
He was not only thinking about his own safety. If there was any danger in the ruins, it would probably harm other people in the ruins, so he had to set up a barrier in advance for defense.
After the barrier was set up, Angel called Baruba over again and asked him to keep an eye on the movement of the barrier. Once the color of the barrier began to become strong, he would immediately go to the third underground floor to notify the mushroom witch, and then take Babaya and Kudoudou away from the ruins.
After doing all this, Angel finally turned his attention to the knight's armor.
When he placed his hand over the magic pattern and prepared to activate it, Angel and the tree spirit began to look the same. They were alert, but also full of expectation and excitement.
Since he came to this ruin and guessed about the hidden room, he has been looking forward to it.
What secrets are hidden in the hidden room that was deliberately hidden by the owner of the ruins?
Really, just a bedroom?
With the infusion of energy, the repaired magic array on the knight's armor began to emit a faint light. The pattern of the magic energy array escaped from the armor and finally fell to the ground, including Angel and the tree spirit in the magic energy array.
Then, Angel felt a blackness in front of his eyes, and there was a slight sense of weightlessness under his feet for a moment, but he soon returned to his original state.
When he opened his eyes, they had disappeared from the study room that was as bright as daylight, and replaced by a dim corridor.
The tree spirit was beside Angel, and he was looking back at the back.
Angel also looked back, and there was a wall behind him. It is worth mentioning that the wall was engraved with the same magic energy array as the knight's armor, and there was a glow escaping.
"It seems that I don't have to worry about how to go back later." Angel muttered in a low voice and put his sights back to the front.
The corridor looked deep, but it was not absolutely dark. There were wall lamps made of fluorite on the walls on both sides, emitting a cold blue light. Although the light was not strong, it could barely be used for lighting.
"I'll take a look." After the tree spirit finished speaking, it pointed to the distance, and a leaf with green light appeared out of thin air. With a gust of wind, it floated to the depths of the corridor.
A few seconds later, the tree spirit turned around and said, "The leaf did not encounter any danger and successfully reached the end. Not far from the end, there is a closed door. Maybe that is the bedroom of the owner of the ruins?"
The holographic map of the ruins gate is clearly marked. The mark on the hidden room is the bedroom. Since there is only one door in front, it is obvious that the bedroom is behind the door.
Although the tree spirit found that there was no danger in the corridor, Angel was still very cautious and walked slowly to the depths of the corridor.
After walking about a hundred steps, Angel saw the leaf that the tree spirit had released before. It was floating in front of a familiar door.
The material of this door is the same as that of the ruins gate, and even the patterns carved are similar. Obviously, the builder is the same person.
Angel stretched out his palm, and a pure white phantom limb stretched out and gently pushed towards the door.
The door was not locked, and it was slowly pushed open by the force of the phantom limb.
When the door was opened, Angel and the tree spirit looked behind the door at the same time.
It was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
Angel was about to activate his night vision ability, but before he started to move, he suddenly felt an inexplicable panic in his heart.
At the moment when the panic spread from his heart, he subconsciously took a step back, and it was this step that allowed Angel to avoid a sword light from top to bottom.
With a clang, the sword light collided with the ground, smashing a big pit and raising a lot of gravel and dust.
Only then did Angel see that a knight's long sword slashed out from behind the dark door.
With the appearance of the long sword, a tall outline slowly appeared in the surging darkness.
Is it a person? Angel's eyes flashed with doubt. Could it be that his previous inference was correct, and the owner of the ruins had not left and was still staying in the hidden room?
When Angel showed a vigilant look, the figure in the dark also stepped out of the door.
It seemed a little different from what he imagined. The person in front of him was a man in knight armor.
The style of the armor was the same as outside, and it looked very ordinary. The only thing that was extraordinary was the knight's long sword, which was flowing with a dark and sharp light.
Angel didn't know whether the knight in front of him was a person or an empty shell of armor, but from the gap of peeping, he vaguely saw a little red light.
Why does this color of red light look familiar?
While Angel was still thinking about the red light, the knight's sword was swung high again, slashing towards Angel.
The knight's slashing speed was simply beyond imagination. He swung dozens of dark sword lights almost instantly, sealing all routes around Angel. Angel tried to touch the sword light with his phantom limb. Although he could resist the sword light to a certain extent, the phantom limb would also be severed.
The power of this attack has reached the level of a formal wizard!
In just one second, Angel had several phantom limbs chopped off.
Although the phantom limb can be reborn, it still consumes the breath of the nightmare world. The current supply of nightmare world aura can still keep up, but if it is cut off again in a short period of time, it will be difficult to quickly restore the phantom limb.
It seemed that a quick resolution was needed. Angel thought to himself.
The weakest thing about the Sword Knight is definitely its armor. Angel was very familiar with this armor. It was made of ordinary material and could break with just a light touch.
Thinking of this, Angel was ready to attack the knight's body.
However, before Angel could make any move, a force came from behind. When Angel subconsciously wanted to fight, he found that this power was gentle and familiar. It was the power of the tree spirit.
Following this force, Angel was dragged dozens of meters away, away from the door, and returned to the middle of the corridor.
Fortunately, the sword-cutting knight did not come after him.
Angel turned around and looked at the tree spirit standing behind him in confusion. He didn't understand why he suddenly pulled him away.
The expression of the tree spirit was a little strange: "I just saw that the ground suddenly collapsed in several places, and several bottomless dark abyss appeared. At the same time, some dark vines stretched out long thorny whips from the abyss, pointing at me Carrying out flogging.”
"It's extremely powerful. It's almost a true knowledge level attack. It can break my body into pieces with just one whip."
"Fortunately, the leaves I left at the door could be used as a substitute to withstand the whip." When the tree spirit said this, his expression became even weirder: "However, as soon as my leaf substitute was killed, I discovered The abyss around me disappeared. Then, I saw you waving your phantom limbs in the air. "
When Angel first heard the tree spirit talk about his personal experience, he felt weird, a bottomless abyss? Black vines and thorny whips? He didn't see it at all. If there was such a big movement, there was no way he wouldn't have noticed it.
Angel even wondered if the tree spirit was lying.
But then the tree spirit said that he saw himself waving his phantom limbs in the air? Isn't he resisting the sword light? How could you wave it in the air?
The tree spirit also noticed the confusion in Angel's eyes, and he said slowly: "You are indeed waving your phantom limbs in the air, but there seems to be something weird in the air in front of you, and your phantom limbs are being cut off constantly. . But I don’t see or even feel the danger.”
"Although I can't see what kind of danger you are facing, I have discovered something strange. As long as your phantom limbs are exposed to red light, they will be cut off; those that extend outside the red light are normal. of."
"You happened to be in a red light. I guessed there might be something wrong with these red lights, so I pulled you out."
Angel felt even more weird after hearing this: "Red light? Where is the red light?"
"The red light reflected in the door." Seeing that Angel was still full of doubts, the tree spirit took him and approached the door again.
This time, they did not approach the door, but stopped when they were still more than twenty meters away from the door, looking at the door at the end of the corridor from a distance.
When Angel looked over at this moment, his pupils shrank suddenly.
The door was indeed pushed open, but the darkness he had seen surging behind the door had disappeared. What appeared before him now was a door glowing with red light.
The red light reflected from the door even spread to the surrounding walls, making it look like a blood-stained corridor.
There was no knight, no abyss, and no dark vines... Even the ground and walls that had been destroyed by the knight's sword were intact.
But Angel sensed the consumption of the phantom limb and the aura of the nightmare world, and could be sure that his phantom limb had definitely been severed before, and the tree spirit's words also confirmed this.
Could it be the art of true illusion?
A true illusion has appeared, so you can feel falsehoods and bear real harm?
But soon, Angel denied the possibility of reality and illusion. Although he doesn't know much about true illusion, his understanding of true illusion is not bad. To put it bluntly, true illusion is still illusion. As long as it is illusion, it will have a rhythm unique to illusion. Angel has not sensed any illusion before. The fluctuations are definitely not caused by illusion.
If it's not an illusion, what is it?
Angel looked at the faint red light behind the door in the distance, and then remembered the flash of red light under the knight's mask before. It seemed to be the same red light, and the same...familiar.
Suddenly, Angel recalled a scene in his mind: in the distant sky, there was a huge royal city like a mirage, and the throne was shrouded in a faint red light.
This picture was seen by Angel from a distance when he was on the top of Rainbow Mountain in the ruins under the Star Pond.
At that time, Gentleman Fei was by his side and told Angel that the royal city was where Minister Nuka rested temporarily. As for the ubiquitous red light, it was a kind of light called "nightmare light" Strange light.
At this moment, the red light that enveloped the royal city in Angel's mind overlapped with the red light reflected from the gate in the distance.
Their colors were exactly the same.
"Could it be... the light of nightmare?" Angel looked at the gate in the distance and muttered in a trance.
"The light of nightmare?" After hearing this, the tree spirit touched his chin and thought: "So, it is really possible. I remember you said that the light of nightmare is red, right? It is the same red light that Reeves encountered when he first entered the ruins."
"When Reeves stepped into the ruins, he encountered red light, and those nightmare creatures had not entered the ruins at that time."
"Since the ruins under the Star Pool originally had red light, and this ruin and the Star Pool ruins have the same origin, then it seems reasonable that there is red light here."
The more the tree spirit talked, the more he felt that this guess was correct. Reeves is currently staying in the Star Pool ruins, protected by Nice. In the past few days, Reeves explained everything that happened to him in the ruins, including the smallest details.
Reeves clearly said that those who entered the ruins with him encountered red light. When bathed in red light, the walls were no longer walls, but turned into rolling magma; the gate was no longer a gate, but turned into an abyss leading to the dead; even the ordinary portraits and statues had changes, the creatures in the portraits drilled out of the plane, and the statues opened their scarlet eyes...
Even the ground they walked on was filled with smoke for no reason, and these smoke would drag people into an unknown world.
This point is simply too consistent with the previous situation.
When the tree spirit was bathed in red light, an abyss appeared on the ground, and black vines crawled out to attack the tree spirit.
When Angel was bathed in red light, darkness surged in the gate, and a knight wielded a sword.
They were obviously together at the moment, but they encountered two completely different situations. This is exactly the same as what Reeves said.
"It must be the Nightmare Light." The tree spirit said with certainty.
Angel also thought of Reeves's situation, and roughly inferred that the red light in the distance might be the Nightmare Light that attracted the creatures of the Nightmare Realm.
However, the problem now lies before them.
Knowing the Nightmare Light, how should they deal with it?
