"Great Elder, wasn't there this hole before?"

Arwen asked in a low voice.

Brouver frowned, "No, absolutely not. Ah, when there were no monsters here yet, I often came here to patrol. This is definitely not the case."

Arwen Cat's eyes stare into the depths.

"That's what the monster did."

Brouver took a step back slightly, "A hole this big can fit three of our volcanic furnaces in. Even the goblins who are good at digging holes can't dig out something like this."

Indeed.

Arwen looked solemn. In his memory, there was indeed no creature that could dig such a large cave inside the mountain.

Even if it is Kikimore, it is impossible to dig it so smoothly and neatly.

Unless----

Thinking of this, he thought of a monster, a monster that even he was afraid of.

"Go in and have a look."

Without hesitation, he stepped into the depths.

Brouver held weapons with both hands, but the dwarves around him were undecided.

The dark cave is like an abyss, and just staring at it makes you feel tingling all over your body.

The unknown is the greatest fear.

"Listen to me, all of you, stay here and don't let monsters sneak in. If you hear any movement in the passage, rescue immediately. The demon hunter and I will go first to explore the way."

"Great Elder----"

There was a dwarf in the escort who wanted to dissuade him, but was stopped by Brouver.

Arwen noticed the footsteps behind him.

"Great Elder, it may be dangerous inside. It's not too late to exit now."

"Ha," Brouver's beard trembled, "We dwarves are not afraid of this, we are warriors."

Arwen twitched the corner of his mouth.

If you really weren't afraid, you wouldn't have let those guards stay outside.

But if you think about it from another perspective, Arwen will also venture into the depths of the cave.

The fact that Davor Bottomless Pit can be so magical must definitely have something to do with it.

If there is any magical treasure, it must not fall into the hands of outsiders.

The two of them walked all the way to the bottom.

Brouver looked around carefully and whispered.

"Witcher, look at these walls. There are cracks every three or four meters, which look like threads."

Arwen replied, "Well, based on my current observations, this cave may have been drilled out by insect-like creatures that turned around."

Brouver was startled and couldn't believe it, "A bug? How big does it take for a bug to be dug out?"

"Don't believe it?"

"Of course, I have even seen dragons. They are already the most powerful monsters in this world. I don't believe there are creatures stronger than dragons."

Dragon.

Yes, there is a living dragon in the Mahakam Mountains.

When you come to Mount Mahakam, forging weapons is one of them, and meeting this legendary dragon is also the purpose of this trip.

The two continued to move forward, Brouver wiped the sweat from his face.

Suddenly, a cool breeze blew in my face.

This time, Brouver's whole body tensed up and his spine felt chilly.

He immediately stopped and Arwen looked at him.

"No, something is wrong, something is terribly wrong!"

Arwen had also noticed it a long time ago, and his mental perception continued to extend, "The temperature here is wrong."

"Yes, according to common sense, the deeper the mine is dug, the closer it is to the underground magma. It should be very hot. It is too cool here."

Speaking of which, Brouver made another key point.

"Have you noticed that we can still see many precious ores outside the mine, but there is nothing here except smooth rock walls."

"That's right."

Arwen took a deep breath, and in his mental perception, the magic power surged deep in the cave. It was more powerful than the magic intersection point he had been exposed to before.

Circle of Elements is even bigger, like the boundless sea. It seems calm, but if it churns, it will definitely destroy the world.

"Brouver, let me remind you again, if you encounter any danger further forward, I may not be able to protect you."

Brouver could hear the seriousness in the other party's tone.

"I understand that if I encounter any scary monster, I will run away myself and will never drag you down.

After talking about the matter, the two quickened their pace.

The originally smooth rock began to gradually become transparent, forming icy blue crystals that emitted a dazzling purple light.

The originally dark environment seemed hazy and bright surrounded by these crystals.

Walking out of the end of the passage, a huge space appears in front of you.

The cold wind poured in through the entrance of the cave, making an echo like a ghost's cry.

Arwen looked around, using the powerful vision brought by the cat's eyes and the mental power to detect it, he vaguely perceived the boundaries of this space.

Under the ground, there is actually an open space that is ten kilometers long.

He did not continue to move forward, but looked up at the top of the dome. Countless crystals were scattered all over the place, emitting a lustrous light that was like a galaxy intertwined by thousands of stars. It was so beautiful.

"Star----" Brouver pursed her lips, her eyes filled with disbelief, and she was extremely shocked.

"The previous elders didn't lie to me, this is really the place where the star Starfall fell----"

"Click----click----"

A piece of crystal fragment fell from the dome and fell to pieces on the ground. The originally blue crystal pillar became dim and dull.

Arwen leaned down and picked up a piece of fragment. His hands were cold and he could clearly feel that there was magic power inside.

In short, these crystal pillars on the dome are all condensed with magic power.

But the magic power here is so full, these crystals fell to the ground, and something was absorbing the magic power.

The cat's eyes contracted violently.

There is a dark place among the stars.

In that area, there was a large piece of spider silk-like material intertwined with the magic crystal pillar, fixing something like an insect egg on the dome.

The egg was more than thirty meters in diameter, and its whole body exuded a color similar to amber, rising and falling silently like a heart.

Expansion.

When the insect eggs expand to their maximum size, they will emit light like the scorching sun.

"What the hell is that?"

Brouver's voice was a little trembling. In his five hundred years of experience as a dwarf, he had never seen this before.

But with just one look, he was sure that the monster inside the insect egg was definitely more terrifying than the dragon.

Forbidden life, ancient existence.

"Click----click----"

The insect eggs expanded faster and faster, spurting out scorching waves of air.

The worm threads that fixed it made an overwhelming tearing sound, and each one broke.

A little scarlet appeared in the amber, looking at the two people's positions like eyeballs.

The surrounding magic crystal pillars dimmed and became brittle at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a collapsed crystal window, cracking and disintegrating in all directions!

The violent air current carried countless crystal fragments of different sizes and hit them.

Arwen formed Quen Sign, protecting them in front of them, their black robes making a hunting sound.

In sight, the amber cocoon hanging on the dome began to dim, and a creature emerged from the cocoon, its curled body slowly unfolded, and slid to the ground, followed by a large amount of viscous liquid.

Its overall shape is like a Giant Centipede magnified countless times, with dense foot segments tapping the ground.

The carapace covering the whole body is still translucent, and one can even see the formation of meridians and beating internal organs inside.

Not only that, there are dozens of pairs of crystal-clear feather fibers growing on both sides of the body, which is more than a hundred meters long.

Over time, these feathers spread out and glowed like stars.

At the top of its head, there is a pair of terrifying eyeballs, which are completely black. It does not have no pupils, but only a very small red dot. Looking at them is already terrifying.

What's more, there is a pair of sharp jaws in front of its mouthparts.

"Hisssss----"

The mouthparts are constantly moving, making a fascinating sound.

Countless tiny wings flapped silently, but its body was too huge and its wings were too soft, so it couldn't fly at all.

But a circle of magic waves unfolded, the rocky ground began to tremble, and the crystal fragments that fell on the ground were pulled by some force and floated into the air.

All matter seems to be becoming lighter.

The first one to bear the brunt was Brouver. Without any precautions, the short body began to float into the air.

If Arwen hadn't caught him in time, he would have been smashed to pieces later.

"Damn----" Brouver couldn't keep calm, "What the hell is this? Demon hunter, I think we should leave here! Although this mine is important, it is not important enough for us to commit our lives here."

Arwen casually threw it behind him until it reached a limit.

The feeling of suspension suddenly disappeared, and Brouver fell to the ground.

"Ouch," he said in pain, with a horrified expression, "What on earth is going on?"

"Field."

"Field? What the hell is this?"

Brouver couldn't help but said.

Arwen ignored his yelling, but took steps towards the monster's location step by step.

He raised his hand and took off his hood, revealing his short black hair.

Brouver's pupils shook when he saw this figure.

This look is all too familiar to him, just like the Gwent he made with his own hands.

"You----you are Raven of School of the Wolf, and you are actually still alive?"

Arwen Unbuttoned the buttons on the cuffs, and the black robe floated into the air with gravity.

"Leave here, this is no longer a place for you."

Arwen's black cat eyes seemed to be on fire, emitting a sulfur-like color.

There is no fear, only excitement.

There are very few mutants in this world that can make his heart beat.

There is one right in front of you.

After six years of hard training, I can finally give it a try.

A breath came out of his mouth.

"What a surprise."

In his field of vision, the monster stared at him with its eyes fixed on him and hissed menacingly.

Arwen cracked the corners of his mouth, revealing his snow-white teeth.

"Then, the hunt officially begins, Raffard's Vengeance."

Raffard's Vengeance, according to records, it is a monster accidentally summoned by [Alzur's Double Cross].

With just a careless summons, Maribor was slaughtered until blood flowed into rivers, and half of the city collapsed.

It is not the product of Conjunction of the Spheres, but comes from the endless abyss.

It is true that the wizarding world has not studied it, but almost all the wizards who have gone there have been wiped out, so only a few words are left.

Terrifying, powerful, taboo.

Arwen walked forward. If it were the Raffard's Vengeance summoned by Alzur, he would definitely turn around and run away.

But the Raffard's Vengeance in front of me was obviously just born, not the one summoned by Alzur.

And there is an answer to the appearance of this huge cave. It was dug by Raffard's Vengeance summoned by Alzur.

This place where magic power gathers is the hotbed it chooses.

Two hundred years, at this point in time, is really the time for Alzur to die.

The mental power spread out, and [Blood Intuition] did not find the aura of the other Raffard's Vengeance.

And at the end of the cave, I also sensed an equally huge cave.

The Raffard's Vengeance who gave birth to this little monster is very likely to have left long ago.

But Arwen didn't dare to be careless about this matter and secretly cast the portal.

If you encounter danger, you can escape here at any time.

"Hisssss----"

Raffard's Vengeance's ferocious eyes watched Arwen getting closer, and hissed from his mouthparts.

It was very confused as to why the creature in front of it, which was countless times smaller than itself, was suspended in the air without being affected by its own domain.

The next moment, Arwen stepped forward and his whole body floated.

Raffard's Vengeance's eyes were stunned for a moment. It was not something done by his domain, but the other party flew up on his own.

[Flight]

Arwen stretched out his hands, [Dual Souls] and spiritual power exploded, chanting a spell in his mouth.

Thick yellow lightning poured down and hit Raffard's Vengeance's body.

[Alzur's Thunder]

Countless thick currents eroded the latter's body, making a hissing sound.

"Hiss!"

Raffard's Vengeance let out a painful cry.

It had just been born, and its carapace had not yet hardened, so it was completely unable to resist this high-intensity lightning magic.

Baiyi flapped its wings, and its scarlet gaze burst into rich purple.

The rich chaotic magic power condensed on the wings, like exploding fish scales.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

In an instant, a dense purple beam of light shot towards the position of Arwen.

Wherever the purple beam hits, the rocks are cut open and melted by the high temperature.

Arwen dodged crazily and shuttled through the light beam.

He chanted a spell a cappella, and a yellow shield covered his body.

Countless tiny lightning bolts wandered around the outside of the shield, making the sound of a thousand birds chirping.

The purple beam of light was refracted by the shield, bursting into dazzling light.

A beam of light shot towards the entrance of the cave and passed by Brouver.

The hot breath made his cheeks hurt.

Brouver could no longer maintain his composure and ran outside holding his buttocks.

The scene just now lingered in his heart like the end of the world.

He gritted his teeth and wanted to curse.

"Damn the plague! Damn the smallpox! Damn the cholera! Damn the gods! What the hell are these two creatures!"

At this moment, he no longer had any greed for the treasure hidden by Davor Bottomless Pit.

Does the witcher want it? Or does the unknown monster want it?

Give it! Give it all to them! I won't dig this mine anymore!

Arwen glanced at Brouver who had completely disappeared.

Raffard's Vengeance locked his eyes on Arwen, who was flying in the sky, and his scarlet pupils expanded.

An extremely strong sense of gravity arose spontaneously, and the magic crystal pillars on the dome exploded, stabbing down like icicles, and the ground cracked.

Raffard's Vengeance had a shocked expression in his eyes.

The human being in front of him was still suspended in the air, still unaffected by its domain.

Arwen lowered his gaze.

Sure enough, its field is related to gravity.

If he were an ordinary demon hunter, he would have been crushed into blood foam by this huge gravity.

It's no wonder that the huge Maribor city was destroyed the moment Raffard's Vengeance appeared.

But it is a pity that in terms of field, he is not the same.

[Magic Suppression Domain], open!
