Almighty Alchemist

Chapter 23: The Tower of Death (Part 2)

The fifth floor of the tower is a wide space.

To Huey's surprise, there were twelve statues standing in this space. These twelve statues have different faces. There are humanoid warriors and various strange monsters. They are located in this hall. Although they are dead, they are majestic.

What alarmed Xiu Yi was that in front of the twelve statues, the corpse of an alchemist was displayed at the foot of almost every one of them.

"These statues are weird." Xiu Yi said to Xu. The hub outside the castle is obviously used to control various traps, but it is bound to be impossible to shut down some non-organ protections.

If these statues are organs, then they should be closed, but if not...

For some reason, Xiu Yi suddenly felt a sense of danger when she entered the hall.

"Be careful!" he yelled suddenly.

A statue of a warrior holding a big sword suddenly slashed at Xu.

This sword is extremely powerful and carries a mighty aura. Xiu Yi hugged Xu and rolled forward, the big sword brushed against Xiu Yi's scalp, cutting off a few strands of hair.

Just as he was about to pursue Xiu Yi, the black warrior's long sword was already unsheathed.

In a series of brilliant sparks, the stone sword of the statue warrior was not destroyed.

As Xiu Yi rolled past, the eleven statues beside him also moved.

These statues are of various types, and even attack methods are varied. Some monster statues can even use magic, but their movements are vigorous and flexible, without the slightest sense of dullness.

"It's not a statue, it's a puppet! It's a war puppet!" Xiu Yi shouted.

Electra's inventions are numerous, and Xiu Yi never imagined that in this castle, there is another kind of puppet invented by Electra. This kind of puppet is obviously different from the Vajra puppets that can change shapes. They do not have the ability to deform, but they have the ability to camouflage.

Damn Electra, he actually made the puppets into stone carvings, forming a very deceptive appearance. No wonder those alchemists died here, I'm afraid they didn't know that these twelve statues were actually puppets with powerful fighting power when they died.

A trace of black light flashed in the air, and the Undead Demon Mouse used its high-speed maneuvering ability to escape the attack of a puppet. The long chain tail whipped out an air ripple in the air, and stabbed the puppet's arm fiercely.

The two blazing birds spit out raging flames at the same time, turning the entire space into a sea of ​​flames.

"Red, Green, don't make a move. I haven't reached the point where I want to demolish this place. Let the Black Warrior and the Demon Rat deal with them. Let my work collide head-on with Electra's work to see which one is stronger!" Huey shouted.

He hugged Xu and left the battle space. In the hall, the black warrior and the demon rat faced off against twelve golem puppets, and the fight was in full swing.

Although he has a heartfelt admiration for Electra, his youthful heart also has a strong desire to win.

The Black Warrior and the Demon Rat are Xiu Yi's own alchemy works. Although there is no shortage of Electra's technology, they were made by Xiu Yi himself after all, and they are also his two most powerful works. Since you are here to visit a senior, then you should show your work to the senior, even if the senior is no longer here.

The battle in front of him was extremely fierce, but Xiu Yi's eyes shone with obsession. Compared with King Kong puppets, these golems lack their variability, but have stronger defense capabilities. They are obviously also made of special materials, with extremely high strength, and they are almost not afraid of knives and axes. If the undead demon rats were not enchanted with the sharp circle, the black warriors themselves have grudge attacks, and ordinary damage would have little effect on them.

Electra's wisdom is extraordinary, and everything created is enough to make the world a sensation.

Xiu Yi yelled: "Attack their chests, there is the main hub. I want a complete puppet, not to destroy the whole."

As expected of Electra's student, he quickly discovered the weak link of these puppets.

"Of order!" The black warrior sent a cold answer.

The long sword containing the energy of battle energy spits out rapid lightning, and the battle energy hits those stone statues. The huge impact of energy directly penetrates the hard outer shell and penetrates into the inside.

The puppet's joint is destroyed, just like a human heart is shattered, and all movements stop immediately. In the blink of an eye, the twelve puppets stopped functioning and turned into stone statues again.

This time, they will not suddenly come to life again.

Xiuyi stepped forward, caressing these puppets carefully, and murmured: "It's made of marble mixed with some other special metals. It's very interesting. It seems that Electra invented a formula that can make ordinary marble a hundred times harder. It's great. This is a discovery that is more valuable than diamond puppets. Even in Electra's era, resource requirements were still the top priority. I guess what he wanted to make at first was not a puppets that could be disguised, but puppets that could be made of ordinary stone. But He inadvertently discovered that a puppet made of this kind of stone can be turned into a statue, which has greater secrecy and suddenness. Do you know what this means? Xu. The Vajra puppet is a puppet made of high-grade materials. They are destined to be limited by materials, and the quantity is limited. But this kind of puppet is different, they can be mass-produced... Well, unfortunately, they cannot be put into the space ring."

Xiu Yi opened the chest of one of the sword-wielding warriors, and took out a soul orb from it. This soul magic orb has been shattered by the fighting spirit of the black warrior.

Still using the soul magic orb as the main drive means that it cannot be put into the space ring, and Xiu Yi feels very sorry. But even so, Xiu Yi also knew that if he wanted to build a golem army in the future, then this kind of golem was obviously more suitable as the main combat unit than the Vajra puppets.

The rarest thing about Huey is that they seem to cost a lot less to make.

"Maybe we can find a notebook about making them on the top floor," Huey said.

With their own men, after collecting the relics of the dead alchemists, they continued to explore the upper floors.

The stairs get longer and longer, as if there is no end to it.

What appeared in front of Xiu Yi was always high steps made of silicon crystal, spiraling up round after round.

"Father, something seems wrong. Is the staircase too long?"

"It seems that this is the third obstacle left by Electra, a maze." Xiu replied calmly.

Before entering the tower, he had guessed that there must be a labyrinth in the tower.

The little guy Xu didn't understand: "Haven't we already turned off all the organs?"

"Most of the closed organs are vicious and vicious, but Electra still left some tests that we must go through, which we cannot avoid. This maze is obviously a test, but it is no longer a test of our force, but a test of intelligence, just like the magic circle on the gate of the valley laboratory." Xiuyi said in a low tone: "Obviously, this is the most important test for Electra, whether it is the four-winged tusk beast or the twelve golem statues. These difficulties are nothing. The problem is that Electra doesn’t want to leave his legacy to laymen who don’t know alchemy, so he needs a way to prove it. This level is the way to prove it. Those who enter must rely on their own understanding of alchemy to get out of this maze and prove that they are an excellent alchemist. Otherwise, we will never reach the top of the tower.”

"Then what should we do?"

"Electra is an alchemist, so the problems left by him can only be solved by alchemy." Xiuyi said, taking out the development sand mist: "Try this thing first, it can discover all hidden existences. To be honest, I don't think this maze will be so simple. Do you still remember a lunatic who came out of this place?"

A handful of developing sand mist was sprinkled, and countless bright dots filled the air.

Under the light of these bright dots, the dark staircase spiral showed some light.

In the dark place at the end of the stairs, a wraith suddenly appeared, showing sharp fangs, stretching out sharp claws and floating towards Xiuyi.

"Be careful, it's a phantom attack!" Xiu Yi yelled.

Xiu Yi never believed that there would really be resentful spirits here. Since it is a maze, there must be existences that deceive people's minds.

However, when the wraith flew to Xiu Yi's side, the cold and dead air it brought was so real.

It screamed and rushed towards Xiu Yi, Xiu Yi's long sword stabbed, as if hitting a piece of air, the nihilistic body of the wraith ignored the sword thrust, passed through Xiu Yi's arm, and then disappeared.

Xiu Yi only felt a cold surge from the depths of her heart, and looking at her arm, it was already black and blue.

This made him gasp, so that he could hardly confirm whether it was an illusion or not.

More resentful spirits appeared in front of them, densely packed, dancing in the air, turning the entire stairway into a space for undead.

Xu shouted: "Dad, I can't transform!"

"I can't use magic and fighting spirit anymore." Xiuyi replied bitterly: "This maze is much more powerful than we imagined, it can seal power."

Xiu Yi casually took out a drop of sacrificial oil from his body, and threw it towards the group of wraiths dancing wildly in front of him.

"Boom!" A large group of violent flames erupted from the ground, causing the Wraith Spirits to howl and wail.

"Only alchemy is allowed." Xiu Yi added coldly.

The blazing bird behind him also couldn't spit out any flames.

As he said before, what Electra needs to test in this level is the alchemy ability of the intruders. He doesn't need the intruders to be very powerful, but only needs them to have excellent alchemy talents.

Therefore, this maze does not allow anyone to use force to break through.

The vengeful spirits blocked the entrance of the passage, but they did not attack. It seems that their mission is to guard. The wraiths who attacked earlier should be a warning to those who came. These wraiths have the ability to attack. If they force their way, they will face death.

Three drops of sacrificial oil were thrown in a row, burning a large area of ​​resentful spirits to ashes. However, the vengeful spirits seem to be endlessly alive, and every time one dies, another one will be born out of thin air in the void.

They flew over the dark corridors, screaming loudly, turning the whole scene into a gloomy and gloomy scene, as if they would enter the world of the undead with one step. The scene was eerie, almost suffocating.

"Dad, what should we do?" The little guy panicked. Unable to transform, and having powerful power but unable to use it, Xu was a little scared looking at the wraiths that filled the sky. After all, it is still small, and it can't ignore everything in front of it.

"Don't be afraid, the more you are afraid, the more resentful spirits there will be. It comes from the generation of negative emotions in your heart." Xiu Yi found that when Xu said the word fear, there seemed to be a few more resentful spirits flying in the air.

The endless maze, the inexhaustible vengeful spirits flying all over the sky, the unusable magic and vindictiveness, it seems that Electra has set up a deadly killing situation.

"No, that's not right." Xiu Yi shook his head, "It is impossible for Electra to arrange a death trap. These wraiths should be phantoms, so they can't be killed no matter what, but how did Electra make the phantoms also have the ability to attack?" Xiu Yi bowed his head and muttered to himself.

He looked at his arm, the bruise still remained on it, bringing a slight chill. If Xiu Yi was entangled by a large group of resentful spirits, she wondered if she would freeze to death immediately.

He quickly took out a bottle of healing potion and drank it, but the bruise on his arm didn't fade in the slightest.

"The healing potion doesn't work..." Xiu Yi squinted at the scar on his arm. Seeing that the healing potion didn't work, Xiu Yi didn't feel depressed at all. Instead, he showed a slight smile on his face: "That's right. What Electra wants to test is this, that's it."

He suddenly looked back at Xu: "Xu, do you know what is the most important thing to be an excellent alchemist?"

The little guy shook his head blankly.

Xiu Yi chuckled: "It is the ability to discover the laws of the operation of things. Only by mastering the laws of the operation of things can we create all kinds of great alchemy. What Electra wants to test in this test is not the level of alchemy, but whether we have the potential and talent to become an excellent alchemist, including calmness, wisdom, observation and carefulness."

"Does that have anything to do with our predicament, Dad?"

"Of course there is. Wraiths do not exist. This is a labyrinth, a labyrinth of the mind. It is not an entity, but only arises in people's hearts. This is why healing potions cannot heal injuries, because... I am not injured at all." Xiuyi said, slowly raising her right hand. The blue marks on the arm were still there, but Xiu Yi said slowly: "Since it is a labyrinth of the mind, it should be my own labyrinth. In this labyrinth, everything is false, including these wraiths, including my injuries, including these endless stairs, and including... your existence."

He looked back at Xu and Blazing Bird, raised the long sword in his hand, and showed a hideous face.

The little guy Xu showed great panic: "No, Dad, I am your child, you can't kill me!"

"If you really were Xu, you would never say that to me. Demon dragons are proud existences, and their pride makes them never bow their heads under any fear. Even the young dragons that have just been born also have the courage to challenge everything. Your knowledge of Xu comes from the care I took for him when I interacted with Xu in my heart. You rigidly copied my memory of him, but neglected that its dependence on me came from the deep relationship with me. But when facing danger, Xu is an impulsive and violent child, not like Now it is still acting like a child and begging for mercy."

"Hiss!" A sharp long hiss cut through the void, and Xu beside Xiu Yi suddenly turned into a cloud of green smoke and flew into the air, gradually condensing into a huge wraith. At the same time, the Black Warrior, Blazing Bird and Undead Demon Rat, who had been silent all this time, also disappeared at the same time, and Xiu Yi was the only one beside him.

Looking up at the huge wraith, Xiu Yi murmured: "Is this the hatred in my heart? It's already so powerful. It seems that you are good at whatever the master is good at. Excellent camouflage ability, but you can't hurt me."

"Hiss!" The huge wraith roared sharply at Xiu Yi, but it seemed to be scruples and did not dare to charge down.

Xiu Yi looked at the wraith, with a trace of sadness in his eyes: "I have walked through the maze of the soul once. I know that there is not only hatred in my heart..."

The light of battle energy suddenly released from the long sword, the brilliance radiated everywhere.

The huge wraith screamed in terror, and with a sword of majestic power, he slashed at the wraith fiercely.

This sword broke through all obstacles, and with just one sword, the wraith was smashed into pieces.

As if a strong wind blows and the fog clears, Xiu Yi sees a clean and empty room.

Not far away, the little guy Xu was lying on the ground and fell asleep soundly, and the blazing bird was still on top of it. The demon mouse and the black warrior still watched their master silently.

Everything that happened just now existed only in Xiu Yi's heart. To them, it was as if Xiu Yi stood there alone for a while.

"Is this the sixth floor of the tower?" Xiu Yi looked around.

He looked at his arm, it was intact.

Huey smiled: "Electra, even though I have hatred in my heart, I also have love. I have never been so clear-headed, knowing what I want and what to do. Your mental maze is useless to me."

Picking up the sleeping Xu, he walked towards the top of the tower.
