Chapter 683 Journey to the Abyss
The female devil disappeared, but Enzo's face was gloomy.
"Gustav was captured?"
Beside him, Mitchell was stunned, as if he couldn't believe it, and said, "How did this guy do it?"
The Iron Wall Fortress is the front line of the wizards.
The female devil was able to suddenly appear and capture Gustav in a short period of time, which obviously means that she has strong strength and strange means, 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 found that Gustav was missing, the other party had already left the forest world and returned to the abyss.
And the other party obviously knew the phantom of the crows very well.
She could accurately say Enzo's name, which has proved her intention. She captured Gustav just to deal with Enzo, and clearly stated that she was waiting for him in the lava canyon on the 857th floor of the abyss.
"Huh!"
Enzo took a deep breath, his eyes sparkling. No matter what the female devil's plot was, since Gustav 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 was surprised and said, "What kind of place is the abyss? I think you should know it very well. The other party has clearly set a trap for you by asking you to go there."
"I know."
Enzo nodded and said in a deep voice, "But I have no reason to refuse, and I can't watch Gustav die."
"Who said Gustav will die?"
Mitchell's eyes rolled and said, "In the wizard world, both Gustav and I have left a soul lamp. If the original 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 start from cultivation, it's better than you falling into the trap, right? It's nothing more than spending hundreds or even thousands of years. Gustav still has a chance to become a third-level wizard, or even impact a higher realm."
The soul lamp is a trump card left by Mitchell and Gustav.
Split a part of their soul and leave it in the wizard world. Even if they die in the forest world, they can be reincarnated through the soul lamp. However, the reincarnated Gustav and Michel will be ordinary people.
Although they have the memory of their previous lives, they do not have any combat power.
If they want to restore their strength, they must practice again, starting from an apprentice, and grow step by step into a third-level wizard.
"I'm afraid there is no such opportunity."
Hearing Michel's words, Enzo shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Since that female devil has the ability to capture the mentor and leave me a signal, she must have known about us for a long time."
"Although the soul lamp can be reincarnated, it is also under the condition of the death of the main body."
"If that female devil, after capturing the mentor, does not kill him, but throws him into the fire of purgatory to burn, wouldn't the mentor be worse off than dead."
Enzo's tone was solemn and he shook his head slightly.
In the history of wizard civilization, this situation has not been unprecedented.
As the two top worlds in the multiverse, wizards and the abyss have experienced countless years of dealings. Both sides have already understood each other's methods. The soul lamp is not a very advanced method.
Therefore, the devil has many ways to deal with Gustav.
For example, stripping his soul and roasting it in the fire of purgatory, but not completely destroying his existence.
This happened in the 900th layer of the abyss.
After years of fighting with the wizard civilization, the demon lords of the abyss have also captured many wizards, but they did not kill them. Instead, they punished them with the fire of purgatory, making them suffer forever.
Until later, the 900th layer of the abyss was occupied by the wizard civilization.
The wizards imprisoned in the fire of purgatory were finally freed. The soul of a fourth-level wizard was even burned by the fire of purgatory for 100,000 years. Even with the wizard's firm belief, he almost had a mental breakdown.
"So... have you really decided to go to the Abyss?"
Mitchell said solemnly, "You'd better think it through. The Abyss is the most dangerous place in the multiverse, especially for wizards. Just the rejection of the rules can lead to death."
"The 857th floor of the Abyss is ruled by demon lords."
"Since that female devil left you a signal, it is obvious that she has set a trap and is waiting for you to fall into it."
Enzo shook his head, his eyes showing determination.
Even if he knew it was a trap, he couldn't give up Gustav. For Enzo, Gustav was the most important person since he embarked on his wizard journey, and he had a deep gratitude for him.
"Okay..." Mitchell saw this and stopped persuading him.
"Don't worry, Mr. Mitchell."
Enzo nodded slightly and sneered, "Although the Abyss is dangerous, I am not without a trump card. Even if that female devil set a trap, it is not so easy to keep me."
As a shadow wizard, Enzo is best at saving his life.
Using the power of the artifact's shadow disguise, he can hide in the shadows at any time. As a conqueror of the wizard 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 when he goes to the abyss.
In order to ensure his own safety, he intends to go all out. In addition to the three goddesses he just conquered, Zoffy, who guards the War Ghost World, will also follow Enzo to the abyss. The five fourth-level life forms will be able to deal with many dangers together.
"When do you plan to leave?"
Michel hesitated, and a hesitant expression appeared on his face.
Enzo saw what he meant, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I know what Mr. Michel is worried about."
"After I leave, the Forest Spirit World will be handed over to you."
"I will try my best to return from the abyss. The Iron Wall Great Wall Fortress should be able to stop the Thousand Hands Demon for a while. During my absence, Mr. Michel, please remember not to act rashly."
"I know this."
Michel nodded, smiled bitterly, "The previous battle with the Thousand Hands Demon has made me realize the gap between us. Even with the Heart of the Forest Spirit World, I can't challenge it beyond my level."
Enzo nodded, thinking on his face.
Going to the Abyss to rescue Gustav was indeed a big challenge for him, especially when he knew there was a trap ahead. Even if Enzo tried his best, he could not guarantee absolute safety.
More importantly, the situation in the Forest Spirit World.
The devil who kidnapped Gustav had obviously reached a deal with the Thousand-Handed Demon. The other party induced Enzo to go to the Abyss World, probably to create an opportunity for the Thousand-Handed Demon, so after Enzo left, the devil would inevitably launch a general attack.
And the wizard side that lost Enzo would inevitably fall into an absolute disadvantage.
Even, whether Mitchell could stop the Thousand-Handed Demon by himself was an unknown, but the current situation did not allow Enzo to think too much.
"I hope I can hold on until you come back!"
Mitchell took a deep breath, and his eyes were still flashing with worry. He did not have much confidence in his own strength.
Enzo also had a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
The witch's strange means caught the wizards off guard. After Enzo sealed Skeleton King Raymond, the balance of victory had begun to tilt, but now something unexpected had happened.
"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 could play a role.
Afterwards, Enzo and Michel parted ways, left the Iron Wall Great Wall Fortress alone, and came to the Lital area behind.
Not far away, the land was barren.
This was originally a forest area, but because of 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.
A chain of shadows connected a stone tablet.
Around the inky black stone tablet, a number of illusory crows kept circling. Enzo slowly walked over, raised his hand to summon a phantom crow, and after absorbing the other party, he immediately understood the situation of the sealed place.
Skeleton King Raymond was sealed here.
After being sealed by the power of the Thousand Spirits of the Illusionary Crow, the Skeleton King has been unable to get rid of the illusion. Now he is lost in the illusion, and the death power in his body is constantly consumed.
The next moment, Enzo disappeared on the spot.
Above the wilderness filled with gray fog, the sky was shrouded in shadows, and countless illusory crows flew up. Not far away, Skeleton King Raymond was trapped in place, with chains wrapped around his body.
"Damn wizard!"
Seeing Enzo appear not far away, Skeleton King Raymond suddenly fell into a furious state, waved his hand to release a death force, and instantly formed a huge sickle to cut towards Enzo.
However, this is the illusion created by Enzo.
He didn't even dodge, letting the sickle cut towards him, but at the moment of falling, the dark death sickle turned into black roses and flew everywhere.
Skeleton King Raymond still didn't give up, and let out an angry roar.
Then, the shadow chains wrapped around his body were broken by the power of death. The Skeleton King Raymond turned into a purgatory bone dragon and rushed towards Enzo.
The black dragon breath sprayed.
Enzo did not dodge, but stood calmly, letting the dragon breath splash on his body and absorbing the energy inside.
"Give up, Raymond."
Enzo shook his head and said in a light voice: "In the space I created, you can't cause any harm. All the energy released by you will eventually be absorbed by the illusion."
"You want me to give up? Don't dream!"
Raymond laughed wildly, and the power of death was released again. The sky that was originally shrouded in shadows was finally torn apart. A phantom of the Styx slowly appeared, like a waterfall hanging upside down in the sky.
Seeing this, the Skeleton King was suddenly 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.
Enzo shook his head.
With a thought, a wall of fire ignited not far away. As the skeleton soldiers rushed over quickly, they disappeared in the flames like moths to a flame.
Then, Enzo raised his head.
He pointed at the phantom of the Styx in the sky, and the turbulent water of the Styx instantly turned into foam and shattered. The Skeleton King Raymond also felt an unprecedented sense of suffocation.
A giant hand slapped down from the sky.
Raymond was directly pressed to the ground and could not get up at all. The strong sense of oppression finally made him recognize the present world.
"Do you want to kill me? Wizard!"
But even so, the Skeleton King was still unwilling to surrender, 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 take revenge on you again!"
The life box is the trump card of the Abyss Lord.
It is somewhat similar to the soul lamp of the wizard civilization. They both seal a part of themselves in a certain medium. After the death of the main body, the soul can be reincarnated, but the strength will be seriously damaged.
And the Skeleton King Raymond made the life box as early as 10,000 years ago.
Even if Enzo kills him now, the other party can still be reincarnated with the life box, but the strength will fall to the 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 faintly: "Before finding your life box, death is more like a relief for you, right?"
Skeleton King Raymond snorted coldly.
Then, Enzo shook his head and said, "I don't want to waste time. How about a deal?"
"Hmm?" Skeleton King Raymond was puzzled.
"I'm in some trouble and need to go to the abyss." Enzo got straight to the point and said, "As the lord of the 857th floor of the abyss, you should be very familiar with it, right?"
"Sign a contract with me and I'll set you free, how about that?"
"Hmph! Don't try to deceive me, wizard."
Skeleton King Raymond looked up and sneered, "How do I know if what you said is true or false?"
"Does it make any difference to you?"
Enzo asked back, "You will never be able to get out of the seal if you are trapped in it. There are not always opportunities like this."
"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 was considering it again. 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. Now the conditions proposed by Enzo made Skeleton King Raymond feel a little alert, not knowing what Enzo was trying to do.
Enzo shook his head and told the story.
The reason why he wanted to join forces with Skeleton King Raymond was mainly because 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 other party's temporary service.
This was a very important thing for Enzo.
