The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 439: Endless Fire

From Hugo's previous inquiry, Bernardino already knew the other party's attitude.

Want to delay...

It's useless.

He is indeed in a hurry, but he is not in a hurry for minutes or hours.

Or did you simply reject yourself?

"But...does it make sense?"

Bernardino sighed almost pitifully.

The next moment, the walls around them collapsed inwards.

The stone of unknown material, without any transition, transformed into a sharp black shadow blade while collapsing inward.

That was a blow that was enough to cut the stainless steel armor into pieces instantly!

However, behind Bernardino, a black half-length giant rose up from the mud, suddenly stretched out his huge hands and grabbed Bernardino!

After those shadow blades cut into the giant, their progress immediately slowed down.

But the next moment, these shadow blades suddenly lit up with white light.

——After about one-eighth of a second, there was a bang!

The shock wave alone raised dust and blasted a large crater out of the "mud" on the ground. This is not real silt, but a field formed by the power of elements...

Only those with the same level of power can instantly destroy the power of elements!

Before Bernardino could launch a counterattack, Hugo disappeared into the wizard's tower without warning.

Like a phantom.

It's like he never appeared.

After the fierce explosion, the black silt giant was completely thinned by a large layer.

Dust from the explosion floated in the air.

Suddenly, they lit up white again. It was like many stars lit up around Bernardino.

A more powerful explosion than before, accompanied by light and air waves, resounded again!

This time, even one of the outer walls on this floor was blasted through.

The surging air waves brought about by the explosion roared out - like cannonballs, blasting away the clouds outside the tower!

But just before the third explosion.

[Analysis completed——]

Isaac suddenly stretched out his hand and moved his lips slightly.

【——Countermeasure completed】

The moment the dust floating around them lit up again, they suddenly stopped in place.

In the world invisible to the naked eye, they undergo reverse transformation at the moment of explosion. The power of the two transformation spells was perfectly offset, and the chain transformation was terminated, so they became simple, powerless glitter dust.

"...[chain explosion]?"

Bernardino recognized this transformation spell.

It is not an overly complex or difficult transformation spell per se. Its only difficulty lies in the gap between its two explosions.

Generally speaking, this spell is used to set up ambushes on the battlefield. After an explosion, more than a minute later, there will be another explosion at the same place. Because the trap has been triggered once, the enemy will subconsciously set the exploded area as "safe". This spell is in line with this idea and carries out a secondary detonation in the "safe zone".

However, generally speaking... this spell can only be triggered by using black fire.

Hugo used his own original wall material to transform into a shadow blade of unknown texture, and used the shadow blade to instantly induce an explosion - although it was just a small trick, it was indeed a tower master-level spellcasting skill.

But at the next moment, the floor beneath their feet suddenly collapsed.

The floor instantly turned into a dense sea of ​​electricity. If it falls directly, it will be burned to ashes by the high temperature in the blink of an eye, and turned into powder by the electric current.

However, they did not fall.

The black mud was not analyzed by Hugo, but it adhered to the walls on both sides. The fragile connection points were enough to support Bernardino's existence for a moment.

It didn't even exist for a tenth of a second before it was transformed into ordinary soil again by Isaac.

Among the cold, solid black walls, floors and ceilings, there are a few ugly patches of dirt like patches. There is no living person who can point out this strong sense of violation.

Immediately afterwards, dense runes appeared and spread quickly on the wall. There are many "eyes" in the runes on the wall, and each eye emits an extremely high-temperature laser. When the laser shines on the opposite side, it is reversed by a tiny mirror.

By repeating this, the originally sparse lasers can multiply rapidly in geometric multiples until the entire corridor is filled with scorching lasers!

There is no doubt that this is an absolutely fatal trap.

If Bernardino came alone, he might be evaporated by it in an instant.

However...

【Are you showing off in front of me】

Even though it was just a soul, Isaac raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile that might have been just contempt, but looked extremely cold on his translucent face.

In the air around them, the dust condensed and was transformed into many rotating prisms.

When those scorching lasers approached two meters from Bernardino, they were reversed, focused, and converged to hit the top of the tower!

A surging stream of rainbow-colored light instantly penetrated the three floors, and after a short delay, penetrated straight out from the top of the Zedi Black Tower and shot straight into the sky!

Even from a distance of more than ten kilometers, one can see such a strong beam of iridescent light spurting out from the top of the black tower.

After half a minute, the light flow gradually dissipated.

The surrounding walls are already red.

They are about to undergo the next step of conversion.

But Bernardino has found his way to the top of the tower——

If you can't find a way, find one!

Bernardino's eyes suddenly ignited with black flames. The runes on his skin lit up again, and the burning rate of the Philosopher's Stone flowing in his veins suddenly doubled.

Black sludge splashed out and stained the wall where a passage was blasted out by the laser cannon.

Countless black lines stabbed from the black giant's body, connecting to the mud on each floor. Its body then suddenly rose up, as if being pulled by a three-dimensional mobile device, and like a giant spider with more than a hundred legs, it grabbed Bernardino and quickly climbed to the top of the wizard tower.

And the tower owner "Hugo", a slender black figure with no arms or face, who was completely black, was waiting for him in the middle of the room.

This is a top secret place.

It is also the place of inheritance.

A place where only the Tower Master and the Tower's Sons can come.

Those wizards would never imagine what the scene here is like...

——There is nothing around.

Yes, nothing.

In the black space, there was not even a seat, a table, or a lamp, let alone anything for entertainment. If it hadn't been for a big hole being punched out, it would have been pitch black and nothing could be seen.

Because those things are meaningless to the tower owner.

"The original wizard tower... seems to have been damaged by me."

The corners of Bernardino's mouth raised, and his flat tone contained his trademark arrogance and affectation.

"If it can be destroyed with this level of damage, it is no longer a wizard tower."

The very tired young voice did not come from "Hugo".

But it comes from the ceiling in the center.

The next moment, it was like a battery had been discharged.

A cylindrical cabin slowly dropped from directly above.

It flipped over as it neared the ground, then opened the hatch.

The thick, unknown liquid spilled onto the ground.

Revealing a human-shaped gap.

The young man who was wet and naked staggered out of it.

A red light flashed in the young man's eyes.

The flames swept through his body in the blink of an eye - like magic, the nutrient solution on his body was instantly transformed into a set of complex and mysterious robes.

"You really haven't aged..."

Bernardino squinted his eyes slightly and sighed in a low voice with unknown meaning: "Do you like the eternal life you bought with freedom?"

"My goal has never been eternal life."

The real Hugo replied calmly: "The mission of the Alpha Tower is to provide the fire of wisdom to the world. Just like the first tower owner, Lord Prometheus.

"Eternal life is just a 'tool' that allows me to fulfill my duties until I find an heir~IndoMTL.com~."

After spitting out Hugo, the entire Wizard Tower gradually stopped functioning as if it had lost energy.

In other words, the Zedi Black Tower, the "Alpha Tower", has stopped supplying power to all other functions and facilities. Provide all the energy to the tower master, Hugo.

"I never thought that I could defeat you with just projection."

Behind Hugo, a pure red flame roared and ignited: "I just... don't want to burn my students to death with my own hands."

A half-length humanoid whose body is made of eternal flames rises from the ground. The hound-like claws surrounded Hugo on the left and right, turning the surrounding environment into an endless sea of ​​fire in the blink of an eye.

The entire black tower was like a huge upright firewood, which was ignited from top to bottom. After a delay of several seconds, it burst into flames, instantly releasing terrifying light and heat.

The surrounding swamps and plants were all scorched dry by the surging flames.

The bright light emitted by the huge tower-shaped torch can be seen throughout the kingdom.

Transformation wizards never lack means of attack.

They are just afraid... whether their attacks will destroy their teammates together.

How terrifying an unscrupulous transformation wizard is... no one dares to imagine.

This is why Salvatore's "shadow" must always be vigilant and sealed.

"Since you killed all my students... you also freed me."

In the sea of ​​fire, Hugo's voice was cold and rational: "If you want my soul, then come and give it a try. If you want to escape your fate...then let me kill you." .

"——If I just need to delay time, I'm pretty sure. It doesn't matter how long you want to delay."
