rlin laid on the ground of the quiet ancient tower as his chest heaved with every breath. His injury was extrely serious. Although he did not die, he was struck very hard. He wanted to take so ti to recover but did not know how much ti he had.

“This is serious. I was originally wary of Wizard Riesen but I didn’t expect him to attack so suddenly, let alone using a Fourth-level spell from his Spell Scroll.”

rlin felt helpless. He had been cautious of Wizard Riesen, especially with his Alchemy Creature.

In fact, rlin had not been vigilant with Wizard Riesen himself, neither was he worried that he would cast a Third-level spell. However, this ti, Wizard Riesen used a Spell Scroll containing a Fourth-level spell, and it had injured rlin greatly. It was a good ti that rlin’s physique was far beyond than that of an average Spell Caster. Otherwise, he would have been killed.

Fortunately, rlin exhausted all his strength to cast Glacial Finger and scared off Wizard Riesen. He had also used the Matrix to record the cultivation thods of Fiery Collapse.

rlin decided he would wait patiently for his wound to heal and eventually leave the ancient tower. rlin felt that he had not run out of luck and instead, gained a great deal.

rlin’s chaotic thoughts were slowly cald down.

“Crash!”

Just as rlin’s mood was cald, a hole suddenly appeared on the ground of the stone gate and a huge patterned spider began to crawl out.

This patterned spider was about the height of a person and was the largest patterned spider that rlin ever saw. The patterned spider gradually crawled toward rlin as it began to hiss.

rlin’s face turned pale. He had originally planned to slowly recover and eventually break through the stone doors to escape the ancient monunt.

However, he was still weak, and this enormous patterned spider was definitely stronger than any other patterned spider he had faced before.

rlin could not cast Glacial Finger anymore but his Mind Power was not affected by the injury, so he quickly cast Guardian Monunt.

rlin cast Guardian Monunt three more tis. The gray slabs of walls ford around him and covered his body.

The huge patterned spider advanced toward rlin but stopped in his tracks as it noticed Guardian Monunt.

“Swoosh!”

Suddenly, the patterned spider moved swiftly. It appeared behind rlin in the blink of an eye and struck Guardian Monunt.

“Boom!”

The collision broke three Guardian Monunts and left only the last defense, which rlin had cast using his Enhancing casting tool. rlin knew that Guardian Monunt sustained great damage from the patterned spider. This ant that it was much stronger than Wizard Riesen’s Alchemy Creature.

The impact from the patterned spider did not seem to impact the strengthened form of Guardian Monunt. The patterned spider retreated slightly and then exposed its abdon. White silk flew out and wrapped around rlin.

The white silk was tenacious and strong, and it began to grow longer and longer. The enhanced version of Guardian Monunt that rlin had cast started to give in to the strong binding of the white silk.

If it were only a few strands of the white silk or if rlin could move freely, he would be able to break himself free. If he could not break himself free, he could cast Wind of Freedom and escape quickly.

However, rlin had been struck by Wizard Riesen’s Spell Scroll and could barely move a finger. He was almost a living target and his only option was to passively defend himself.

Occasionally, rlin would cast Furious Fla but the white silk was resistant to flas and remained strong. rlin’s body was enveloped and tangled in it like a Zongzi 1 .

“Crack!”

Finally, the enhanced form of Guardian Monunt which rlin had cast could not withstand the entanglent of the white silk and gradually began to break.

rlin felt helpless as he had no options left and just like the fragnts of stone in front of him, the patterned spider spat its white silk and bound rlin tightly.

rlin was entangled in the white silk of the patterned spider. It slowly dragged him into the hole in the ground.

The hole was pitch-black and as rlin was dragged into it, he could only feel the steep incline of the slope that seed to stretch further into the ground.

rlin even suspected that he would make a delicious al for the patterned spider to enjoy in its nest.

Soon, there was finally a glimr of light in the dark hole. The patterned spider had brought rlin into a hidden hall where rlin noticed a huge fla-shaped statue.

However, this fla-shaped statue was much larger than the one he had seen before.

The patterned spider returned to rlin’s side once more and cut through the bounds of its white silk.

Thereafter, the patterned spider crawled into a corner of the hall and laid down motionless.

rlin furrowed his eyebrows. This place did not seem like the patterned spider’s nest and it did not intend to “eat” rlin.

The hall was surrounded by beautiful murals. They were each one of a kind as they depicted different forms of flas.

There were wild fiery-red flas and peculiar crimson flas. There was even an icy-white fla. They were all painted along the walls of the hall.

“What’s this place?”

rlin whispered. He still could not move, and even though the patterned spider had retreated into a corner, he could not escape.

After a mont, the huge fla-shaped statue began to vibrate aggressively as it beca “alive”. rlin could feel the flas burn as the temperature in the air began to rise.

The fla-shaped statue gradually turned into a real fla. It burned fiercely as small clumps of flas began to form a small sprite about the size of a palm.

The sprite was created entirely from flas, so its features were blurred. However, although it was only about the size of a palm, it was terribly hot. rlin stood quite far away but he could still feel the unbearable heat.

The fla sprite floated over rlin’s body and watched him condescendingly. “Congratulations, lucky Spell Caster, you’ve defeated Master’s guardian puppet. It seems you also have the First-level spell, Furious Fla. You’ve passed Master’s test.”

“Test?”

rlin watched the fla sprite with a doubtful look on his face. The fla sprite seed intelligent, and it reminded him of the black cat he t in the Dark Magic Region, Didimoss, so he was not surprised that it could speak.

“Yes, Master had left these tests. If one has defeated the guardian puppet and can cast either Furious Fla or Sea of Flas, they’ve passed the test and are able to receive the treasures required to cultivate Fiery Collapse.”

The fla sprite explained calmly.

rlin was confused. He had many thoughts running through his mind and could not make sense of any of them. This ancient monunt was left by a powerful Spell Caster over three thousand six hundred years ago.

However, even after all those years, the fla sprite and patterned spiders had still survived – this seed impossible to rlin.

“What the hell are you?”

rlin was very curious about the fla sprite. It was a non-living thing but it possessed intelligence and was not as rigid as the guardian puppet.

“I’m a fla sprite that Master once caught. I’ve been trapped here and can’t go any further than a hundred ter past this statue. However, Master said that as long as I help him find a suitable Spell Caster who can cultivate the second form of Fiery Collapse, then I’ll have my freedom once more.

“Many people have discovered Master’s ancient monunt and entered the first floor. However, very few were able to defeat the guardian puppet but you two did and have therefore t the set requirents. It’s just a sha that one of you have already left the ancient monunt and will not be able to receive the Master’s treasures to cultivate Fiery Collapse. Hence, it’s only you here who has t all the necessary requirents. That’s why I sent the patterned spider to drag you down here.”

rlin listened to the explanation of the fla sprite. The fla sprite had paid attention to all the Spell Caster who entered the ancient monunt and looked for a suitable Spell Caster to cultivate Fiery Collapse. It had done its utmost duty to help its master so that it would one day be free again.

The fla sprite ntioned a Spell Caster who had left the ancient monunt – it would be Wizard Riesen. His plan had failed when his attack against rlin did not work, so, he decided to leave rlin trapped in the ancient monunt to die.

Wizard Riesen did not expect that soone or sothing had observed him this entire ti, and although he t the requirents, he had left the ancient monunt.

Without the treasures left by the master of the ancient monunt, the cultivation thods he claid for Fiery Collapse would be useless. He would never be able to cultivate the first form of Fiery Collapse.

rlin saw this as a blessing in disguise. Wizard Riesen had trapped him in the ancient monunt and left without the treasure, but he was able to retrieve it. This was extrely useful for cultivating Fiery Collapse!
