718 Ringer''s Demine


    Chapter 718: Ringer''s Demine


    "Let''s go then. I''m curious about this Demine, too." Charles said as he flew towards the mansion''s right side, where the cylindrical magical tower building was located. It was a seven-story tower with a dome-shaped structure on the top.


    "There is nothing much special. If not for my help, they wouldn''t even seed in creating a nar Teleportation Array." Rh also followed alongside Charles, and soon both arrived at a 300-meter tall white tower.


    Before long, Charles and Rh arrived before the Magic Tower and walked in while knocking down the guards at the entrance.


    The ground floor was nothing but an oversized foyer with a magical chandelier hunt at the center of the ceiling, illuminating the whole area in bright yellowish light.


    "Where is that entrance to the Ringer''s Demine located?" Charles asked.


    Instead of responding, Rh raised his hand and pointed his finger at the ceiling before opening his mouth.


    "Teleport."


    A secondter, two magic circles appeared under Charles''s and Rh''s feet, enveloping them in white light.


    A secondter, Charles and Rh stood before a mysterious wall resembling a portal door. The magic portal gate stood as an awe-inspiring marvel, seamlessly integrated into the wall with a diameter of precisely 2 meters. Crafted with meticulous precision, it radiated an otherworldly aura. The surface of the gate was a seamless expanse of obsidian-ck material, cool to the touch and adorned with intricate, glowing runes that seemed to dance with spatial elemental energy.


    Multipleyers of forcefield arrays encased the portal in an invisible embrace, creating a mesmerizing disy of shifting energy patterns. These protectiveyers formed a transparent, shimmering barrier that enveloped the gate, giving the impression of a mystical cocoon safeguarding the secrets. The forcefield glowed in various hues, ranging from a serene azure to a vibrant violet, depending on the magical energies coursing through it at any moment.


    Upon closer inspection, the runes etched onto the surface of the gate revealed aplex and ancient script, hinting at the potent spells and enchantments that bound approached the forcefield array and touched it with bare hands.

    the portal''s magic. The runes pulsed softly, synchronized with the subtle hum emanating from the depths of the gateway.


    Without even activating his wisdom eye, Charles could tell that the Array of circles engraved to cover the entrance was beyond the norms.


    "Hmm, there is indeed a sign of someone trying to tamper it," Rh spoke as he approached the forcefield array and touched it with bare hands.


    "It''s called ''Multi-force Arcane Array.'' Unless you are a Rank-7 Rune Mage, it''s almost impossible to break it. But it''s actually surprising that your father managed to decode this whole Array and even activated the warning message I engraved."


    Once he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and started reciting a change in runenguage. At the same time, the firstyer of the forcefield began to break at multiple ces and soon started to crumble like broken sses, releasing dense spatial energy in all directions.


    But Rh didn''t stop at all. He continued reciting the chant and broke theyers one by one.


    As he finally broke the finalyer, the whole room was enveloped in dense spatial energy, causing spatial disturbance in multiple areas.


    "Eltedaf!" Rh suddenly walked closer to the gate and uttered a unique word.


    A momentter, all the spatial energy gathered inside the room suddenly sucked towards the gate and soon pushed it open, revealing a gigantic portal.


    "This is the gateway to the Demine." Rh spoke as he took a step forward and walked inside.


    Charles gazed at the opened portal with a mix of anticipation and curiosity. The gateway seemed topletely nullify his wisdom power, making it impossible for him to even try destroying it. The air around it felt charged with magical energy, and the swirling vortex within the portal hinted at the vastness on the other side.


    Rh gestured for Charles to follow, and together, they stepped through the threshold. The moment they crossed into the portal, a surge of energy enveloped them, distorting their surroundings and warping their senses. The transition was disorienting, and for a brief moment, Charles felt as though he was suspended in the void. But after a quick check-up, he found a light ahead and instantly moved forward.


    A heartbeatter, Charles found himself standing in andscape that defied description. The surroundings werepletely dark; the sky was filled with countless stars and a strange, deep, bluish, moon-like star. The ground beneath his feet felt solid, yet it radiated a dense dark energy that resonated with the very essence of the Demine.


    Charles instantly activated his [Dark Vision] skill and was soon stunned.


    Before them, a surrealndscape filled with nothing but eerie nts and trees; towering crystalline structures also rose from the ground, emitting a soft glow that illuminated the surroundings dimly. Strange flora with petals, unique mushrooms that shimmered in iridescent colors adorned the darkness, and strange worm-like creatures crawled here and there.


    "This is the Ringer''s Demine," Rh exined, his eyes scanning the surroundings with a sense of familiarity.


    "Don''t try to touch any of the worms here, each one contains a hint of consciousness of a fallen Dark God named Ringer. Even though he had been fallen from the divine throne, his divine kingdom was shattered into countless pieces and spread across all over the universe, along with his consciousness."


    "Oh? Now that I think about it, I heard about such a name when I was in the Miracle City." Charles said with a frown and soon focused on a single worm. It appeared to be around 1 inch long, round-shaped body, and seemed to have a pattern of a closed eye on its back.


    Just as his wisdom power touched the worn, it suddenly stopped moving and shivered.


    Simultaneously, the strange closed-eye pattern on its back suddenly started to change and formed into an open-eye-like one.


    On the other hand, all the strange worms that crawled in the woods, ground, mushrooms, and even the crystals suddenly stopped moving and slowly nced in his direction.


    A secondter, Charles felt countless eerie gazes from all those worms and a strange sense of disgust and uneasiness.


    "Don''t let your guard down,d. Even though you became a Legend Rank powerhouse, you are still nothing in front of a God. They are the strangest beings in this universe and are scary too. This Dark God is also a terrifying one and was once reached the pinnacle in strength. Not only that, but his true body is actually a worm called ''Mind Worm'' capable of invading one''s consciousness and even controlling other Gods." Rh said with a hint of worry.


    "Anyway, let''s not mess around and go to Eddie''s base first." Saying so, Rh took a step forward and started walking in the direction of another greyish tower located more than a kilometer away from them.


    Charles nodded, acknowledging Rh''s warning about the eerie consciousnessden worms and the potential dangers of the fallen Dark God''s influence. He followed closely behind Rh as they navigated through the surrealndscape of the Demine, the strange creatures and dark flora creating an otherworldly atmosphere.


    The journey through the Demine was not without challenges. As they walked, the ground beneath them seemed to shift, and the ambient magical energies yed tricks on their senses. Shadows moved independently, and the distant crystalline structures asionally emitted eerie sounds that echoed through the darkness.


    After a considerable walk, they reached the greyish tower, which appeared to be the entrance to Eddie''s base within the Demine. Unlike the magical tower they had entered from the Edhen ne, it had a more foreboding and ancient presence. The structure was carved from a dark stone that absorbed the ambient light, giving it a solemn appearance.


    Rh approached the entrance and inspected the intricate runes engraved on its surface. Charles noticed that these runes differed from those on the portal gate, carrying a distinct energy hinting at powerful protective wards.


    "This is actually a tower belongs to that Dark God. Eddie found it when he got into this dimension and soon picked it as his base Demine. Let''s go inside."


    Without hesitation, Charles and Rh entered the dark tower, the heavy doors closing behind them with a resounding thud. The tower''s interior was dimly lit, with a bluish glow emanating from strategically ced magical sources. The air felt thick with ancient energy, and Charles couldn''t help but feel a sense of mysteries hidden in the carvings on the stone walls.


    The atmosphere shifted as they ascended through spiraling staircases and passed through winding corridors. The ambient magical energy intensified, creating an almost palpable tension. Rh guided Charles with confident strides, leading him deeper into the heart of Eddie''s base within the Demine.


    Eventually, they reached a vast chamber at the pinnacle of the tower. The room was adorned with arcane rune symbols and magical arrays, and arge circr tform dominated the center.


    But Charles''s attention waspletely drawn to the head-sized crystal ced on the altar-like pir at the center of the chamber.


    "This ce is the nar Teleportation Array Circle." Rh exined as he walked towards the altar-like pir.
