Chapter 62 Datan’s Demonic Domain (2)
The magic circle was drawn on the floor. It took Ye Kai ten minutes to understand it. By the end, he looked a little tired.
“So, what is this?”
"This is a formation for summoning monsters. It also weaves a structure that confuses the monsters' consciousness and causes them to fight each other."
“Hey! Why do you do this on purpose? This is too dangerous!”
“That may be the reason.”
Ye Kai scraped the wall with his multifunctional gloves, revealing a crystal plate. These crystal plates seemed to be embedded in the wall, connected to each other by a wire-like substance.
"This turns the entire tower into a giant magic circuit."
"Although I can feel the magic power released from the wall, I thought it was to preserve the mark or something. So this is the reason." Ye Kai continued to infer.
Summon the monsters to fight through the magic array. At that time, the tower will act as a container to absorb the magic power released by the monsters. Then...
"That magic is being poured into something above this."
"This is……!"
"..."
After the two climbed to the top floor, they saw a device they had never seen before: a metal rod about 80 meters long with precise runes engraved on it, pointing to the northeast.
The rod was connected to a huge magic stone, which was in turn connected to a wire extending from the wall. However, the huge magic stone had already broken due to the end of its lifespan.
"This device is no longer functioning..."
"yes."
“Ah, ah, ah…”
The two men and the small animal could only make frustrated noises at the regrettable outcome of their arrival here.
"But we know how the device works."
"Really?"
"Yes!"
After getting a good response, he started to speak eloquently.
"This device will send the magic power collected here to somewhere else. However, I don't know what that place does with the magic power."
“I see…”
"If I could interpret the information on the table, maybe I could find out, but I can't do that now."
Ye Kai could only tell the facts that appeared engraved on the metal rod.
“But these engravings are amazing. These descriptions confirm my vaguely imagined theory. Great. How on earth did that person come up with this thing?”
Ye Kai suddenly became excited, but did not get the other party's approval because they both did not understand the meaning.
"Let's go destroy the magic circle below. Although I have been afraid to touch it, worried that it might have an important role, it is useless now."
"Yes, after all, it will only bring danger."
While petting the small animal on his head, he stated facts that did not fit the situation.
“However, luckily I gave Reed magic dispersion resistance before I got close to here. Otherwise, it would have become strange.”
"Zhizhi ーー!!"
Although the person concerned was surprised now, it was too late. Cham finally smiled.
Ye Kai walked downstairs and used deformation magic to seal part of the magic circle with a block-shaped object, and then moved it aside. Once the magic circle is destroyed, it will not work.
Then he wrapped his ancestor's body in cloth and lifted it up carefully, thinking that it should at least be buried here.
----------------
As the two slowly walked down the stairs, they heard low roars and explosions. Ye Kai gently put down the body bag, poked his head toward the entrance, and found a large purple bird being besieged by five dark dogs.
The bird seemed to be a ground-dwelling bird. Unlike an emu, its body shape was more like the dodo he had seen in the illustrated book.
"That's a Senel bird. Not common in Holzlein, but a common riding bird." Chaim explained quietly.
(I have to help!)
Ye Kai thought instinctively.
Most likely because Ye Kai pulled out the barrier rod, the dark dog that broke in was now attacking it. He jumped over the handrail and quickly flew downstairs.
--------------
The Senel bird was confused. When it realized it, it was surrounded by the dark dogs.
It managed to act as a bait, allowing its companions to escape, but the human building it fled into had no cover, making it difficult to fight.
It fired light and heat bombs, but the dark dogs dodged them lightly. It seemed impossible to defeat them with my own magic.
It seemed that it had come to the end. As long as it could help its companions escape, its life would be worthwhile. At least it could be a companion who could take away a few guys.
Just then, a man descended from above.
There was an unknown feeling, but the man said, "It's okay, leave it to me." The man wore something like a large shell, and light shone from it, defeating the Dark Dog Knights. The Dark Dog Knight who pounced on him swung his fist and knocked him away.
At this moment, another person landed. He held a sword and slashed at the Dark Dog Knights, ensuring the life of one, while the remaining four had been slaughtered by the previous person.
"It seems I have escaped with a stroke of luck. I have decided to dedicate my life to him, if I still have life left."
The Senel bird assumed a posture of obedience.
----------------
“What do you think this is?”
“Sorry, I don’t know much about Senel.”
The purple Senel bird gently spread its wings and bowed deeply. Chaim confirmed the burn on the wall and finished jokingly, then continued: "This Senel bird should be able to make sense with it according to your logic."
“I see. So, is this a sign of respect for me?”
"Coo." It nodded.
"Then I have to apologize. It was me who left the door open. You got into trouble, didn't you?"
"Gulu? Gulu!" The Senel bird shook its head and then resumed its previous posture.
“You mean it’s all because of me? That’s very polite. Um, you’re welcome.”
“Goo.”
Ye Kai moved closer, stroked its neck, and closed his eyes as he felt comfortable.
"You were also deceived by the magic circle and fell into this predicament."
“Coo? Coo!”
"Yes, there is something here that will confuse the beasts. Do you have any idea?"
"Goo!"
It chirped once and closed its eyes as if it was satisfied. Three new Senel birds came and surrounded the purple Senel bird, bowing their heads deeply.
“Coo-coo!”
The Senel bird raised its head, then lowered it again.
“Gu…”
As if giving up something, they pecked each other's head with their beaks one after another. Then they gathered together and rubbed their heads against the purple Senel bird.
"Did the kids behind just leave it here and run away? Apologize sincerely."
"Their bond is so strong. It seems they have been forgiven."
It seemed like I encountered a touching scene.
“Click”
“Oh, no. I forgot, Reed.”
“Ka-!”
"Don't be angry, I'm sorry."
After going up the stairs and letting Reed sit on his head again, Ye Kai walked down the stairs holding the body of his ancestor. He dug a pit in the corner of the square in front of the tower and buried the body.
The two prayed, "Rest in peace."
