Greetings, Mister Principal: Xenogeneic
In another corner of the claustrophobic space, Newington and Penzance were stepping over the corpse of a monster. It just wanted to attack the two of them, but it took the opportunity to fight back and died instantly.
Newington is holding a strange-shaped dagger in his hand. If you look closely, the blade seems to be trembling slightly. This is a weapon he developed himself. It can cut through the hardest objects by relying on high-frequency vibrations. , and the advantage is that it can be charged with standard magic stones. In order to prevent possible accidents, Newington did not put this dagger in a storage bag, but carried it with him.
Just now, they relied on this dagger, which was as sharp as clay, that they were able to successfully defeat this monster.
"It's a pity that the magic power dissipates very quickly, and it will soon turn into an ordinary dagger."
Newington said, the dagger in his hand soon stopped vibrating because the standard magic stone placed inside was exhausted.
In the Dead Realm, magic power will be consumed at a faster than normal rate. This makes it difficult for mages to effectively construct a spell even if they empty their own bodies, and provide magic power to others like Reiner did. , is tantamount to consuming your own life.
Newington put away the dagger and glanced at the monster.
"This monster does not rely on any magic power to move in the dead zone, but it itself seems to be made by magic. Mr. Penzance, what do you think?"
He did not call Mr. Penzance, but he still retained the honorific title.
"I have an idea, but it seems too scary."
Penzance also looked at the monster’s body and continued.
“I once fought with Lord Carl David and Lord Lanchester Stanion to exterminate monsters in the demiplane. The enemies we encountered at that time were almost infinite in number, monsters that were not afraid of death. , their existence seems to be to destroy everything. If you kill one, ten more will immediately fill the gap. Whenever you use a magic to kill them, all the monsters will become resistant to this magic, which is very difficult. Tangled."
"Does such a monster really exist?"
Newington frowned slightly.
"That kind of monster was called Sauron's alien species by us."
Penzance's words made Newington slightly widen his eyes, seemingly surprised.
"Sauron's alien species!!?"
Newington has fought some contaminated monsters before, but this is the first time he has seen such a terrifying monster as the Sauron mutant.
This monster, named after it destroyed an entire demiplane and forced the mage to destroy a star gate to protect the other demiplane, unexpectedly appeared quietly in the core area of this ruins!
Looking at Newington who was in a state of shock, Penzance smiled slightly and seemed to be satisfied with the other person's expression.
"You are still too young. Although the Sauron mutant is scary, as long as you kill it before it proliferates, you don't have to worry too much."
"But this is a dead zone. Neither you nor I have the ability to fight against the large number of monsters."
Hearing this, Newington hurriedly argued that the reason why he was able to deal with the monster just now was because he discovered the ambushing monster in advance, and at the same time he had this extremely sharp dagger in his hand, but the next one would be... Not so lucky.
"The top priority now is to find the exit and other people. We should try to avoid fighting."
Penzance said as he walked forward, looking for a way out of the claustrophobic space.
"Wait."
Newington had no choice but to chase after him.
The two continued to shuttle through the intricate roads, but no longer encountered monsters.
Silence spread in the air, and Newington vaguely remembered the time when he first explored the ruins. At that time, he was still a student in Penzance. There was nothing to say about that ruin, it was just an ordinary historical relic. , but Newington still remembers the tension and anticipation at that time.
However, that was also the only time Newington and Penzance explored the ruins together. In the following years, the two drifted apart and eventually broke up. Newington left the Mercury Scale and joined the Storm Council to study The focus also shifted from alchemy to elements.
Newington remembers that at that time, Penzance led the team at the front, and he followed Penzance. At that time, Penzance had just been promoted to a high level, high-spirited, and had a strong desire to explore, while Newington Also known as a genius, he is arrogant and arrogant.
Now, Penzance has developed an obvious hunchback, his hair has turned gray, and even Newington has entered his twilight years.
If you think about it, that was decades ago.
Suddenly, Penzance stopped and signaled Newington to be silent.
"There is a situation."
He said, then peeked ahead.
Newington swallowed and followed Penzance's gaze.
Ahead is a damaged door, but the light has not been extinguished. You can see that there are not gray walls inside, but darkness.
They did not feel the breath of the creature. The two of them observed it for a while before confirming that there was no danger.
They walked into the house and saw a surprising sight.
The room is large and the lights are dim. You can see many container-like things around the huge room, which contain unknown black liquid.
Surrounding the container, surrounding the circular room, is some kind of black object that resembles a giant silkworm cocoon. After careful counting, there are actually thirty of them.
In the center of the room, there are some things that look like wreckage. Since they have been chewed and digested, it is impossible to tell what kind of creature the bones are.
"Are these the eggs of Sauron's alien species?"
Newington asked softly while holding the dagger~IndoMTL.com~.
"It is possible that if such a large number of Sauron mutants hatch, then the creatures in this space will definitely be destroyed. If these Sauron mutants escape from here, it will inevitably have a devastating impact on the entire Elliot Half. Cause harm to the plane and other demiplanes connected to it."
Penzance said, approaching one of the eggs.
"Give me the dagger."
"Wait a minute, the monsters inside these eggs may hatch out soon. It's too dangerous!"
Newington did not pass the dagger over because he knew what Penzance was going to do.
"Give it to me."
Penzance ignored Newington's refusal and persisted in reaching out.
"It's like this every time, you don't care about other people's opinions at all!"
Newington was a little angry, but finally handed the dagger to Penzance.
"Don't blame me for not warning you. Some monsters may have the ability to kill in their eggs. Even if they are destroyed during the hatching process, they can still kill their prey!"
"Of course I know, Surrey, I have killed more Sauron mutants than you have ever seen."
Penzance smiled, picked up the dagger, and immediately plunged it into one of the black eggs.
