The Lord of Ashes

A year and a half later, Thain finally stopped what he was doing.

The devil's eye mask in front of him has become perfect.

At least Thain has used all the materials at hand to their limit.

Just like Green and the departed golden-robed magician Berod, there is no point in continuing the experiment. With Thane's current level, it is difficult to further strengthen the Demon Mask.

The difference from more than ten years ago is that the Devil's Eye Mask at this time has become much more eerie and mysterious.

Special red patterns are distributed on the surface of the Devil's Eye mask, making it easy for people to fall into illusion and confusion just by looking at it. This is the natural state when it is not stimulated.

A beautiful light pink crystal diamond is embedded in the center of the forehead of the Devil's Eye mask.

Around this crystal diamond, there is also an octagonal matrix pattern and many special magic array lines. 🄼

The pink crystal diamond is naturally the godhead of the goddess of music.

The reason why it is different from the initial godhead when Thain first obtained it is because Thain has made deep adjustments to this godhead.

Because the essence and blood of the Succubus Queen were incorporated into it, the original sonic law was mixed with the charm power, and the overall power was geometrically multiplied.

Although the Devil's Eye Mask only used one godhead, Thain had to admit that the quality of this mask and the level of alchemy contained in it were higher than the magic wand he had inlaid with two godheads.

Magicians are constantly improving. The Devil's Eye mask in front of him is not the limit of Thane's abilities. He believes that he can create higher-level magic instruments in the future.

Taking a deep breath, Thane put the mask in front of the experimental table back on his face.

The picture that appeared in front of Thain at this time was a crimson world that was very different from usual.

Thain felt that he was more sensitive to the small elemental power and energy fluctuations in the surrounding environment. This novel experience made Thain ignore the changes happening ahead for a while.

It possesses magical powers of light, fire, sound waves, and charm at the same time. The real selling point of this mask, in particular, should be the outstanding sonic law. This is an elemental power that Thain is not inherently good at.

Using this mask, and relying on the magic wand in his hand and the magic robe on his body, Thane even believed that he had the ability to fight against level four creatures.

The fourth-level creatures mentioned here are not "castrated fourth-level creatures" like the weak divine powers of Faerûn, but real fourth-level creatures, which are the low-level gods of Faerûn.

Magicians have always been a group of rational people and will not make any false or exaggerated statements.

Since Thane believes that he has the ability to fight against level four creatures, he now indeed has the ability to compete head-on with level four creatures in a short period of time.

This level of power was something that Thain had seen in Tourmaline before.

Of course, with the blessing of many artifacts, coupled with the mystery of the Ember Flame and the mystery of body refining that his own body possesses, Thain truly has the ability to fight across levels. It also shows how strict the division of power levels in the astral world is.

Sometimes the difference of one level represents the difference between heaven and earth.

In the entire wizarding world, there are definitely not many people who can achieve the level of Thane currently.

If every demigod-level creature was as perverted as Bixi was, the balance law of the star world would be broken.

In the ninth level of this secret trial realm, the biggest concept that Thain gained was "balance."

"The power to break the balance?" Thain took a long breath and then looked forward.

At this time, an oval light door appeared in front of Thane again.

This light gate was obviously different from all the light gates that Thain had experienced before, but he couldn't tell what the specific difference was.

The demon wings behind him spread out, and Thane flew toward the light door.

…

After entering the light gate, the scene before Thain's eyes was no longer any secret trial realm, but an endless expanse of white.

In this white space, Thane saw a man of light.

This is a phantom made purely of light elements. Thain can feel the power of the other party just by appearing in front of him.

Thain does have the ability to leapfrog challenges to a certain extent, but the opponents he can deal with definitely do not include the shadow of light in front of him.

Like Thain, the shadow of light in front of him also wears a mask.

However, the opponent's mask is not as weird and weird as Thane's Demon Eyes mask, but a pure and flat white.

This is a formless mask.

"Finally here, my successor."

"You passed the test I set by relying on your own ability." said the Phantom of Light.

This phantom of light is not an entity, but an illusory carrier condensed from pure light elements.

After countless years, this phantom of light still possesses such powerful elemental power. One can imagine how powerful the opponent was back then.

At the same time, this is also an elemental program that was established tens of thousands of years ago.

In other words, what Thain is facing at this time is not a "real person", but the records left by the builder of the secret realm many years ago.

Judging from various performances, the other party is probably dead now.

Because in the tradition of the wizarding world, only the old mage who is about to die will leave his proud secret realm of inheritance before stepping into the dust, hoping that in the future generations, someone will inherit his mantle and the way of truth.

This is an inexhaustible spirit of continuation of knowledge and exploration of truth.

Thain has not accepted a disciple yet. If he reaches this point in the future, he might leave his own secret realm of inheritance somewhere in the wizarding world, or here in the Knights Continent.

In fact, most of the inherited secret realms in Knight Continent came from this way.

Thain looked at the light man in front of him respectfully. He pondered for a moment about the word "relying on one's own abilities" that the light man mentioned just now.

In fact, the golden-robed magician Berod was right, and Thain was also curious about why the review mechanism of this inherited secret realm considered the many gods in his hands and the artifact-level materials obtained beyond his ability to be reasonable.

Could it be that these gods and artifacts were all obtained by him with his head in his belt and risking his life in another world?

Of course, this way of obtaining artifacts is completely different from giving it as a free gift!

Of course, it is also possible that the review mechanism of this secret realm is not perfect.

After all, it is a fixed program that was laid down countless thousands of years ago. It is not easy to achieve the current level.

And according to Berod, since this secret realm of inheritance has been standing, I have never heard of anyone other than Thain getting rewards through cheating.

Therefore, Thain was not cheating. He relied on his own ability to obtain the final inheritance of the secret realm.
