Chapter 966: Chapter 965: Black Pillar Prison and the Fallen High Priest Chapter 966: Chapter 965: Black Pillar Prison and the Fallen High Priest [Black Pillar Prison]

The prison infiltration had been underway for 25 hours and 39 minutes.

Although Gu Xu had captured the priest’s memories through “Dream” and had completely deconstructed Black Pillar Prison more than ten hours ago.

The internal layout of the prison was complex and lengthy, featuring different environmental layers.

To pass through each layer required obtaining a “door key” (the living arm of a special priest), which was cumbersome and arduous.

Since the prison had to [restrain, divert, and regulate] the ‘origin of Black Water.’

The materials used were of a ‘life-insulating’ nature, arranged in fixed patterns using black stones to effectively suppress the spread of vitality, with intricate metal pipelines woven into the walls, creating a unique style of black prison.

Seven humans were rapidly moving inside.

“Just one last door left, and we’ll reach the core layer holding the [City of Gods Secret].

However.

The last ‘door key’ also corresponds to the arm of the Warden — the Fallen Great Priest, whose strength is only second to that of the Pharaoh, and he will be waiting for us at the final door, so we must be fully prepared for battle.

We must make quick decisions and act swiftly… otherwise, the priest reinforcements following us will catch up.

Xiao Qing, how long before the pursuers catch up?”

“The traps are working well, even the closest reinforcements need at least two hours to reach us as they are [three doors] away.”

“Very good.”

This fourth-tier warrior from the Dragon City [Mysterious Pavilion] — Xiao Qing, was an assassination machinery master.

As everyone navigated through the prison maze, he didn’t engage in any combat.

Instead, he stayed at the rear of the group, setting up traps along the way to delay the pursuers sent from the pyramid.

Subsequently, with the strong combat capabilities exhibited by Xuanyuan Jade and the critical lethal strike from Gu Xu… The team together easily handled the prison guards they encountered in the corridors.

Thus, Dumps also joined in setting traps.

Dumps did not create magic arrays alone but integrated various hidden magic arrays into the traps arranged by Xiao Qing.

Some enhanced the stealth of the traps, some boosted the effects of the traps, and some even worked with the traps to achieve a multi-layered entrapment effect.

To achieve this, one needs not only [vast knowledge] but also [precision].

It just goes to show that Dumps, with his profound knowledge of various formations, also understood the principles of machinery, making each of his magic arrays perfectly synergize with the traps, nearly achieving the ‘optimal solution.’

This seemed incredible to Xiao Qing.

After all, machinery art was an art unique to Dragon City, significantly different from Holy City’s steam machinery.

Through repeated collaborations, Xiao Qing gradually regarded Dumps as a [genius]… If possible, he really wanted to have a private discussion with Dumps.

“Zhou Miaoyu, can you sense what kind of mage that guy is?”

Upon hearing Xiao Qing mention the man she was interested in, Zhou Miaoyu promptly responded, “Simple sensing of the Five Elements doesn’t reveal his positioning… It seems like he doesn’t fit anything, yet fits everything.

However, there’s a very pure magic energy emanating from him.”

“Is this guy really a human knight?”

“He should be, as he possesses the ‘Five Element Vein’ which we humans have. It’s called ‘Magic Circuit’ in Holy City… Big brother Qing, isn’t that bespectacled foreign guy quite unique?”

“Hmm.”

“Hehe, I knew it…”

Zhou Miaoyu, the ‘Five Elements Warlock’ of the Dragon City Team, had taken a liking to Dumps during the baseline tests and became increasingly intrigued by him during their cooperation.

“Focus, we are about to face the High Priest now.”

“Mhm…”

They turned a corner and crossed a short passage.

The relatively narrow prison area opened up into a spacious circular hall.

The final door was located on the opposite side of the circular hall.

At the very center of the biomass door, a hollow slot was carved out, ready for the insertion of the “Warden’s arm” to open it.

At that moment, a heavy pressure descended upon the group from above.

Everyone stepped back to the edge of the arena, assuming their various defense postures.

Immediately after, a giant mass descended from the sky, and with a loud crash, it smacked hard into the center of the hall… its corpulent body occupying about half of the space in the hall.

[Fallen Great Priest – Seremir]

It resembled a half-human, half-worm creature.

The lower part was the worm: a flat, worm-like lower body, translucent and filled with tonnage of Black Water substances flowing inside.

It had split to form more than thirty robust human legs to support such a physique, and it could sprout even more legs when it needed to move rapidly.

The upper part was human: on the surface of the worm, a spiral connective tissue connected to an incredibly obese human form.

Even if he discarded the black worm-like lower body and retained only the human form, his weight was at least over a thousand pounds.

The outward bulging belly had completely exploded into a circular large mouth used for feeding.

Seven layers of extra flesh piled up on his neck,

and above that was a bald, fat head, staring down at the intruders with a look of disdain.

As the number one consumer of Black Water in the entire City of Gods, this fallen great priest could generate any structure he wanted on his body – for attack, for adding mass, or for defense.

Gu Xu immediately formed a “triangle shape” with his hands and placed them at the brow, using his unique Heart-eye to observe this great priest ranked just below the Pharaoh.

“Hmm… no weaknesses? That’s troublesome… To defeat this great priest, we need to exhaust all the vitality contained in his body.

I am not sure if two hours would be enough.”

When Gu Xu conveyed this information, everyone’s expression turned grim.

However, the corresponding tactics were also quickly formulated.

Abe and Xuanyuan Jade, as melee personnel, would trial the frontal strength of the great priest.

Mia and Xiao Qing, as subordinate attackers, would look for the best opportunity to attack stealthily and exhaust the target’s vitality as much as possible.

Dumps and Zhou Miao would act as long-range personnel, using different magics based on current conditions to provide their teammates with defenses like magic shields or use offensive magic to wear down the great priest’s vitality.

As for Gu Xu, he would act as a ‘Free Person,’ moving according to the situation.

The battle was about to explode.

Abe released “Beast Qi” that enveloped his entire body.

All his attributes were enhanced, and his striking distance increased with the dual attack effects of “tearing and piercing.”

He also covered his body with Dragon Scales to enhance his ability to withstand impact.

Alongside Xuanyuan Jade, who wielded the Trishul, they both charged at this massive and seemingly cumbersome Fallen Great Priest.

However…

Whoosh!

Two dark shadows flashed past.

Hitting Abe and Xuanyuan Jade in the front, the attack came with a “Power Index” that completely overwhelmed both… Abe was immediately blown away and smashed into the wall.

Xuanyuan Jade managed to block with his weapon at a crucial moment.

Thanks to his solid basics and stable lower body, he wasn’t blown away by the sudden powerful attack.

Instead, his feet slid about twenty meters backwards on the ground…

The hands holding his weapon trembled slightly, with blood seeping out between the knuckles.

“So strong… Is this the strength of a great priest?”

The first cold sweat trickled down Xuanyuan Jade’s forehead.

On the surface of the fallen great priest’s worm body, two additional arms, several meters long, grew out… their flesh formed, arms constructed, and swung all in an instant.

This enemy was unlike any they had faced before; the great priest could instantly construct any form of attack weapon, and the destructive power was astonishing.

Just as Xuanyuan Jade was faltering,

The previously wall-struck Abe surged out again, his Beast Qi stronger, shooting furiously towards the target… with his beast-transformed black claws, he successfully tore apart a portion of the great priest’s flesh.

This sight spurred Xuanyuan Jade’s competitive spirit, and after swallowing a recovery medicine, he continued the onslaught.
