Chapter 284: The Second Obstacle
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“You’ve passed!”
rlin heaved a slight sigh of relief. Him passing the obstacle this ti was indeed kind of an opportunistic event. The Fla Being did not mirror rlin’s Darkness Heart, which allowed rlin to utilize the enhancing effects of Darkness Heart on Darkness-type spells to pass the first obstacle.
This also showed that the simulation ability of the first obstacle was not perfect. At least, rlin’s Darkness Heart and his enhanced spells could not be replicated.
The Fla Being’s eyes were scorching hot as he scanned rlin intensely. Then he said with a calm voice, “Yes, although you’re suspected of ingenuity, this first obstacle was never originally intended for an average Spell Caster. If I’m not mistaken, your Darkness Tide was only a Second-level spell, yet it has such imnse power. You must’ve cultivated Darkness Heart, right? Only Pandora Demon Abilities that were integrated into spells can’t be replicated.”
rlin did not answer, assuming that to be the truth.
“Alright, let’s go. You’ve passed the first obstacle, but there are two more obstacles awaiting you next!”
The Fla Being said as he stared at rlin.
anwhile, rlin took a glance at Wizard Bayton right next to him. There was no way that the other person could pass the first obstacle. Leaving him there was undoubtedly like sending him to his death.
After a mont of thoughts, rlin looked up and asked the Fla Being, “If I’ve passed all three obstacles, can you let Wizard Bayton leave?”
“Leave? Heh heh. I can only tell you that there’s such hope, but only if you can get through all three obstacles!”
Although the Fla Being did not answer directly, he had indirectly revealed a trace of information. As long as rlin passed the three obstacles, then it was also possible for Wizard Bayton to leave safely.
On that thought, rlin said to Wizard Bayton, “Wizard Bayton, wait quietly here, don’t attempt the obstacles again.”
Wizard Bayton nodded, a hopeful look appeared on his face. He smiled and said, “Wizard rlin, go ahead, I believe you can surely pass all three obstacles!”
After a few reminders, rlin proceeded to follow the Fla Being, gradually leaving the room. He reentered the long corridor, and then reached another dimd stone room.
This stone room was very dry and had a foul sll of dust in the air. It seed that no one had co in for a long ti.
There were so fla totems in the dry stone room. These fla totems were vivid and looked like they could be ignited.
“Well, here’s the second obstacle!”
The Fla Being proclaid slowly after he brought rlin to the stone room.
“This is the second obstacle? Where’s the guardian?”
rlin searched around for a mont but did not see any guardian.
“Guardian? The second obstacle doesn’t have a guardian. You only need to remain in this stone room for half an hour. Blazing flas will be ignited from these fla totems. You can use spells or even Pandora Demon Abilities, but you can’t use Defensive-type casting tools, so you have to take off that two robes on you.”
The Fla Being simply introduced the rules of this second obstacle, which involved surviving the scorching flas within the room.
After seeing the rules of the second obstacle, rlin’s mind was even more certain that the owner of this ancient monunt must have very high attainnt in Fire-type spells. This endurance of burning flas was very likely a test.
Although rlin had constructed Fire-type spells and even Fire-type Pandora Demon Abilities, he had no idea if he could withstand the scorching flas.
Nevertheless, since he had arrived at the second obstacle, rlin wanted to attempt it anyway.
“Co on, second obstacle, I’m ready!”
rlin said to the Fla Being with a serious expression.
The Fla Being nodded and then swung his hand forcefully, and the door of the stone room was imdiately sealed.
“Let’s begin, fla totems!”
As the voice of the Fla Being fell, the temperature of the entire stone chamber rose rapidly. The vivid fla totems on the surrounding walls seed to have “co to life”. Streaks of flas began floating out of the fla totems, spreading into the entire stone room.
rlin took a deep breath and imdiately cast the Second-level Earth-type spell, Earth Veil. He was also ready to unleash Glacial Finger at any mont
Before long, the flas enveloped rlin and his Earth Veil was pierced instantly when t with these flas.
Moreover, rlin tried to release Frigid Ice, but it was instantly evaporated by the flas before it could condense into ice crystals. The strength of these flas seed to be more terrifying than rlin’s Fiery Collapse.
“Pandora Demon Ability, Glacial Finger!”
As rlin unleashed Glacial Finger, the frost could freeze so of the flas, but soon, a large blaze of flas would sweep through and lt the ice crystals completely.
“Even Glacial Finger has no effect!”
rlin inhaled sharply. He did not intend to unravel the secret of the flas at all. He was only a First-level Spell Caster. How could he comprehend the profound mystery of the flas? Even those Seventh-level Spell Casters would not understand the enigma of the elents.
Perhaps, only those Great Wizard would comprehend the mysteries of the elents. This second obstacle which was set by the Spell Caster who left behind this ancient monunt, served no effect at all, according to rlin’s perspective.
In the beginning, it was able to stop most Spell Casters who wanted to pass the obstacle.
rlin had never thought of understanding the secret of the flas. He just wanted to see if spells and Pandora Demon Abilities could be used to resist the burning flas, but now it seed that it would not work. He was unable to resist the scorching flas. If he let the flas near his body, he would be incinerated to ashes in an instant.
“I surrender!”
rlin did not show any hesitance and admitted defeat. He had three chances to get through the obstacle, so naturally, he would not want to die in vain.
As rlin’s voice fell, suddenly, the surrounding flas quickly dissipated, and the temperature of the entire stone chamber dropped rapidly, returning to normal in no ti.
“Failed? It’s only the first try. You’ve two more chances!”
The Fla Being’s voice rang again. He seed to have predicted that rlin would fail.
rlin frowned, and asked in a deep voice, “The flas of the second obstacle – I’m afraid that’s not only a Fourth-level spell right? It’s even stronger than my fiery Collapse!”
rlin’s Fiery Collapse was the most powerful spell which could match that of a Fourth-level spell. Sa as Glacial Finger but it had no effect on the flas in the stone room. Those flas were even more powerful than Fiery Collapse, which brought rlin to his question.
“It’s no big deal if I reveal it to you. The flas in the second obstacle are completely simulated from the powers of flas from Fifth-level spells. Your two Pandoras Demon Abilities, no, it should be three Pandora Demon Abilities, won’t have any effect.”
The Fla Being did not keep it a secret, explaining the flas in the stone room briefly.
“What? Simulation of flas from Fifth-level spells? The usage of casting tools is even prohibited. With spells alone, even with additional Pandora Demon Abilities, I’m only at the first stage. At best, I can only match the peak of Fourth-level spells. How am I supposed to resist these flas?”
When rlin heard that the flas were all comparable to Fifth-level spells, he knew that he could not resist it no matter what. Not only him, but he was certain that most Spell Casters would not be able to resist it too.
On the other hand, the Fla Being seed calm as he slowly said, “Your strength is comparable to a Fourth-level Spell Caster, so the flas of the second obstacle are a Fifth-level spell. If you have the strength of a Third-level Spell Caster, then the flas will only have the power of Fourth-level spells. So Fourth-level Spell Casters have Pandora Demon Abilities, and can even cultivate until the second stage, so this second obstacle will be relatively easy for them. However, Spell Casters like that, in all these years, not even one of them have been here. So far, there are only three people who were able to get through the second obstacle!”
“Three people?”
rlin’s face was solemn, and his emotions gradually cald down. If the second obstacle was easier than the first obstacle, how could it be called the second obstacle then?
Just as the Fla Being ntioned, this second obstacle was not considered difficult. If there was a Fourth-level Spell Caster who happened to have cultivated a Second-level Defensive-type of Pandora Demon Ability, staying in the room for half an hour would really be a piece of cake.
However, such Spell Casters were too scarce. The Fla Being also said that in such a long period of ti, he had never seen even one of these Spell Casters.
There were already three people who passed the second obstacle. Although there was only a handful of them, still, three of them had gotten through the second obstacle. This also showed that the second obstacle was not completely impossible to pass.
If one desired to understand the mystery of the flas, it was virtually impossible. rlin also believed that the three people who had passed the second obstacle definitely did not do so by comprehending the enigma within the flas, but had other thods instead.
rlin thought for a mont and asked the Fla Being, “Has there been a Seventh-level Spell Caster here? How did they get through the first and second obstacles?”
The Fla Being looked calmly at rlin and then replied, “Not bad that you can think of this. You’re much smarter than those other halfwit Spell Casters. Of those who passed the second obstacle, there was indeed one Seventh-level Spell Caster, but the first and second obstacles for Seventh-level Spell Casters were completely different.”
Though the Fla Being did not explain clearly, rlin had faintly guessed that this place could sadly be the sa as Bell Space, which also had limits.
The limit would be Seventh-level Spell Casters. For the first obstacle, it would be difficult to replicate a Seventh-level Spell Caster, perhaps, it could not be replicated at all. It was because every Seventh-level spell was constructed personally by the Spell Caster and was exclusively unique. Copying that would be way too difficult.
“Well then, you’ve asked enough questions. This second obstacle has impeded most Spell Casters. If you can’t get through it, you can only stay here forever. Look, those skeletons belonged to those Spell Casters who were previously trapped in this second obstacle.”
The Fla Being pointed to a corner outside the stone room, where there were countless skeletons piled up. They looked frightening. They were all Spell Casters who were trapped in the second obstacle.
rlin took a glance at the Fla Being, then took a deep breath and said with a low voice, “Actually, it’s not entirely impossible to get through the second obstacle!”
At this mont, a relaxed smile was displayed on rlin’s face, and his expression seed to reveal a hint of confidence.
