Chapter 317 Recharge Your Batteries

"Can't you go down now?"

"If you want to go crazy, go ahead."

Facing Maria who answered with a smile, the young white knight leader could only touch his nose in embarrassment.

"Even the guy with the highest black magic resistance among our white knights will not risk entering here now. The madness here is really too crazy."

Maria stood on the edge of the ruins pit, looking down at the darkness below.

It was clear that the sunset light above the head had not yet set, but it was still difficult to see clearly what was below.

"This ruins has problems to begin with. Unfortunately, I don't know where the problem lies. I can only confirm that it is down there. If possible, I would like to go in and investigate immediately, but it is too dangerous."

There are two dangers here.

One is the madness of the abyss that slowly dissipates.

The madness that permeates the air will probably disappear completely in just a few days.

The second danger is subsidence.

"After professional assessment, they speculated that some of the unexcavated ruins below were missing, as if they had been dug away. A huge cavity was formed in the space below. Although it did not collapse immediately, it still It’s just a matter of time.”

Even if the White Knight could counter the residual effects of black magic at close range, he would not be able to overcome this physical problem.

In other words, they can only wait.

"So, it really is...the dangerous black magic of the Abyss Order? What about the fall of Archon..."

The soldier frowned.

He has experienced the problems caused by the Abyss Cult in this city last time, and has also seen a corner of the city completely disappear.

Nowadays, the ancient ruins below, whose true appearance is still unclear, seem to have experienced the same thing.

"It's possible, since the Witch of the Abyss once appeared here, then...but, this also represents more bad things."

Maria recalled the testimony of the only sober person at the excavation site.

"The Witch of the Abyss did not hurt anyone, and she would not fight back if she was not attacked. The problem is that her existence itself is a source of pollution of black magic... She is obviously a witch who was born not long ago, but she already has the power of the Chaos Witch. To that extent..."

That's not even the point.

The point is, the witch of the abyss may have used some terrifying black magic just by herself.

Archon has fallen, a black magic that can pull reality into the other world, and then transform the material of reality into pure magic and power.

Regarding this black magic matter, the White Knight has reluctantly found out some details, but unfortunately more is not clear.

"The last serious black magic incident that occurred in this city, the Abyss Order had been planning for a long time. They prepared for a long time and held the corresponding ceremony at the appropriate time, and then they were finally able to successfully use Archon. Fall... But now, one person has successfully used this dark magic."

If the scene of this incident wasn't filled with a headache-inducing aura of madness, Maria would really want to use her own eyes to try to detect the traces left here by the witch of the abyss.

The witch of the abyss may be more terrifying and powerful than the White Knight estimates.

"The artifact that the Abyss Religion finally created, the so-called Apocalypse, might fall into the hands of the witch of the abyss. Therefore, the witch of the abyss can use large-scale black magic like Archon Fall..."

Apocalypse Apocalypse, the White Knight finally learned about the magical black magic item secretly created by the Abyss Order after the last incident.

It is said that through the Abyss Revelation, which has an unknown form—probably in the form of a book—one can connect to the Abyss and then gain power from the Abyss.

The Abyss Revelation should have played a big role in the success of the last fall of Archon.

"If there is no Abyss Revelation in the hands of the Witch of the Abyss... then the meaning will be even worse."

By borrowing external power and then successfully using large-scale black magic, this is relatively normal and reasonable.

But if you can do it by yourself without using other powers, then it's not the same thing.

"It should be impossible for the witch of the abyss to use large-scale black magic casually, but even so, it is dangerous enough."

Maria knew that she might have thought too much, and she shouldn't think too much when she didn't have enough clues.

She shook her head slightly, ended the related topic, and then moved on to the next topic that should be investigated.

"After all, why does the witch of the abyss appear here? Are there any ruins in this place worthy of the witch?"

"This question probably won't be found until we go down below."

The soldier spread his hands helplessly.

"Speaking of which, senior, is this place really 'alienated'?"

"To be precise, it has been alienated."

Maria corrected the emphasis slightly.

The so-called alienation is an omitted term, and its meaning represents "foreignization" and "foreignization".

This is a rare phenomenon and a huge problem that can leave a mark that will never be forgotten.

As the name suggests, the other world represented by alienation is naturally the other world.

The real world sometimes overlaps or comes into contact with the other world due to extremely occasional and unrepeatable accidents. In this case, the real world will be eroded by the other world, or covered.

The covered realities will gradually become the same as the other world.

The other world is a lifeless world, and the covered reality will naturally be the same. Even if it was originally fertile land, it will soon turn into dry and cracked land without nutrients.

At the same time, in the alienated realm, the effect of magic will be enhanced, just like in the other world.

The excavation site of this ancient ruin where the Witch of the Abyss once appeared has obvious traces of alienation.

Fortunately, the alienation phenomenon here has not produced permanent sequelae. It is estimated that after a while, the place will return to its normal state.

However, the alienation phenomenon has not completely disappeared now, so this place has become a forbidden area, and no one is allowed to enter except the official white knight.

Not to mention the remaining madness here is enough to affect ordinary people.

Only formal white knights who have been carefully selected and have sufficient training are capable of resisting the effects of black magic.

Even the auxiliaries of the White Knight are no exception. They can only block and wait outside the penalty area.

If it is a normal battle, the official white knights are actually not much different from the members of their support team. After all, they both use modern thermal weapons, and everyone has similar firepower.

However, once faced with the real incident of contaminated black magic, it is time for the official white knight to appear.

This is what the so-called official white knight has to face.

"It's almost time to leave. The clues on the ground have ended here. Staying here will only increase the danger."

Before Maria left, she stared deeply at the pits in the underground ruins.

"In a few days, when the madness here is confirmed to have dissipated, the real investigation will begin. Now, let's recharge our batteries."
