Chapter 212: The Sunken City Under the Sea

A kind of understanding arose in Claire's heart. The depth of the earth mentioned in the fragment's mouth was located at the bottom of the spiral staircase.

At the same time, with a vague impulse in her heart, the girl instinctively stepped forward and gently stretched out her right hand towards the fragment.

When the delicate fingertips touched the surface of the fragment, a strange feeling of warmth and fulfillment came from the bottom of my heart, as if a part of me that was missing was suddenly filled again.

The fragment itself has no temperature or touch, just like a pure shadow. It just adds a hazy color to the girl's fingertips with its own dreamy luster.

At the same time, some new fragmented and incoherent information appeared in her heart.

...In the laboratory, ancient high elves wearing white experimental robes, holding various strange research equipment, are carefully exploring the properties of a fragment.

... High enough to see the curvature of the earth, on the night-shrouded land, a bright light like the sun suddenly lit up, illuminating the entire continent.

But the shape of that huge continent was different from the shape of the Yar continent on the map she saw in the old mage's magic tower.

...And, in the last scene of the memory, those fragments of light were flying in all directions like meteors.

While absorbing the information left behind by the fragments, as the light of the fragments gradually disappeared into her body, the aura of power in the half-elf girl's body also steadily increased.

In a moment, after completely absorbing the fragment, her strength had broken through to a great level, reaching a level between the fourth-order high stage and the fourth-order limit.

Opening her eyes, Claire suddenly felt a little lost.

At the last moment when the fragments merged with her, a faint desire to become one with all the fragments again was left in her heart.

Suppressing this feeling, Claire looked back at the spiral staircase leading to this hall, preparing to leave here and get the 'heritage' mentioned by the fragment.

She looked at the pale moonlight that slanted into the hall through the window. The fragments of it that had previously been projected into her heart were the huge and evil purple moon that suddenly appeared in the outside sky, giving her an extremely bad feeling.

snap——

On the high-hanging dome, a piece of decorative material depicting gilded decorative patterns suddenly fell down, making a crisp crackling sound when it collided with the dolomite ground.

Along with this soft sound, Claire suddenly realized that after the fragments disappeared, the entire ancient castle suddenly began to tremble slightly.

Due to the loss of its source, the faint fragmentary power in the castle began to disappear, and with all this, everything in the entire castle seemed to suddenly begin to experience the erosion of a long river of time.

The exquisite gilt patterns on the dome dimmed, the scarlet flags on the walls gradually faded, the bright red carpet turned into decaying dust, and the square bricks of the rock deteriorated and became brittle, even unable to bear their own weight.

Without the strength of the fragments to support it, the castle's building materials that have experienced erosion over time can no longer support the stability of its own structure.

"Oops!"

Seeing this change in the castle, Claire immediately understood that it was time to escape.

Holding a lamp in one hand and a sword in the other, the girl quickly ran towards the stairs. The wind brought along along the way caused the hem of her brown cloak to sway slightly.

The spiral staircase is still well preserved at this moment, perhaps because it foresees the situation after it is absorbed. The aura of fragmentary power is the strongest here, so the material of the staircase remains the same.

In front of her eyes, the warm yellow light of the lantern shone into the darkness deep in the spiral staircase, with no end in sight.

Claire took a deep breath, finally turned her head, and looked deeply at the flags on the wall that were turning into dust. At the last moment when you leave here, keep the dark golden mysterious symbol on it firmly in your mind.

Then, she put away the one-handed sword in her hand, held the lantern tightly, and jumped towards the empty space in the center of the spiral staircase, the depths of the dark tunnel that could not be seen to the end——

For a moment, the dark environment inside the stairs enveloped the girl. Only the dim light of the lantern in her hand illuminated the wooden spiral staircase handrail rising rapidly beside her.

But gradually, as she fell rapidly, the endless darkness under the stairs suddenly lit up with the light of dark red lava! .

….….

On the boundless dark blue sea, the three Anvis flying at low altitude also encountered trouble at this moment.

The sky was filled with the terrifying divine moonlight of extremely high intensity. Not to mention Anvis and Evan, not even the eighth-level Jom dared to stay in the corrosive moonlight of that intensity for too long.

"verrrrl——"

But it was also difficult at low altitudes. The terrifying alienated sea beasts that emerged from the bottom of the sea made strange calls of unknown meaning, stretched out countless long black tentacles and jointed limbs, and swept towards the people in the low altitudes.

The lowest level of these sea monsters is sixth level, and the highest level can even reach a level comparable to eighth level. This is due to the fact that they are located offshore.

At first, Qiao Mu also killed several sea monsters, but this behavior did not have a deterrent effect.

The dead sea monster's body sank into the water, attracting more sea monsters, and there was chaos below the sea surface.

Later, Qiao Mu simply stopped spending his magic power and just used his sword to cut away the tentacles that were entwining the three of them and blocking the way in front of them, to prevent them from being dragged down by these alienated sea beasts.

With the eighth-level Howling Knight clearing the way, Anvis and his party quickly bypassed the entire island and arrived at the target.

There, lies the largest ruins that Anvis has discovered since he came to this island.

A completely sunken underwater city -

Although the blue ocean surface is surging with waves, the sea water appears surprisingly clear under the particularly bright and charming moonlight tonight.

Anvis can even clearly see through the sea surface, standing in the center of the city, the white rock dome of a huge building, which seems to be an ancient palace or temple.

An empty and wide central avenue extends from the front of the building, spreading to the entire dark city, and strange and huge faceless tentacle statues stand on both sides of the road.

If you look closely, you can find that there are a lot of obscure shadows lurking in the depths of the dark building ruins in various parts of the city.

At this moment, under the strange purple moonlight, the surface of the buildings in the entire city is shining with a faint but clear bleak green phosphorescence.

This was true for the mottled stone walls covered with sticky dark purple algae and the broken pillars covered with strange black barnacles.

"Is this the location?"

Looking at the empty sea, Avis turned his inquiring eyes to Joem.

The latter took out the purple array again, and the illusory map appeared again.

At this time, the faint bright spot did not move, and it was flickering in the area under everyone's feet.
