The son of the dragon who walks

Chapter 35 Temple Battle Royale

The residents of the Undersea Temple did not show any hostility toward the group, on the contrary, they seemed to welcome them.

"Wow! It's someone from outside."

“It’s so rare!”

"Big fella, we have a visitor after a long time."

"By the way, this cloak...isn't this the Magic Knights?"

"Gee, no one has visited in ten years!"

"Tell us about what's going on outside!"

Surrounded by the residents of the temple, Asta said with emotion: "I thought it would be a dangerous place like the Demon Palace!"

Yami took a puff of smoke and said: "Anyway, imagination and reality are different!"

Vanessa dealt with the temple residents who came around enthusiastically, and said: "Anyway, let's find someone who seems to know about magic stones first!"

Yami turned his head and said in a standard underworld person's tone: "Then, call the boss of this temple to come out!"

The surrounding residents were not afraid. They imitated Yami and said, "You should be talking about the high priest."

Another person enthusiastically led the way: "If you want to find the high priest, just climb up the stairs over there."

Such important information was revealed so casually, which makes people wonder if the residents here are too simple!

However, the enthusiasm of these underwater temple residents did not confuse Ciel. Ciel could sense that these people were far from being as friendly as they appeared.

The feeling... how should I put it, is like a child pouring hot water into an ant nest. It is the purest "malice" called innocence.

Didn't these people know that they were pointing Black Bull to the most dangerous place in the Undersea Temple? No, maybe they didn't think there was anything wrong with doing so.

But it makes no difference to the Black Bull Group. The magic stone is there, so even if there is danger, there is no excuse to retreat and they have to go.

Ciel was suddenly stunned for a moment... Something was wrong? According to common sense, when encountering this kind of situation, shouldn't we first carefully check the temple information and formulate a more secure strategy?

Why am I thinking about going over there now? Could it be that I have been assimilated by the people around me after staying in the Black Bull Group for a long time?

Just as Charles was about to say something, the huge stone door inlaid with shells in the temple opened.

Through the opening of the stone door, a figure could be vaguely seen inside.

Suddenly, a huge thing came out. Its body looked like an eel, but it had a head like an anglerfish. In short, it was a monster.

"Ahhhhh!" Asta and Noelle were frightened and screamed, but some people reacted faster.

The three attacks of fireball, thunder and lightning, and beam hit together and directly shot down the unknown monster.

"What is this big and ugly thing?" Magna, Lark and Gexiu asked at the same time.

"Hoo ho ho! What a group of interesting people this is!"

The figure I saw just now came closer to let everyone see his appearance clearly.

He was an old man, with not only long hair, but also long eyebrows and beard. It was just the two curls of beard on his lips that made him look a bit vulgar.

"Welcome to the Undersea Temple, I am the high priest here!" The old man introduced himself.

Qiami was drooling while staring at the monster defeated by the three men, when he suddenly discovered that the monster had broken down into pieces and transformed into a shape suitable for entrance.

"It's interesting. After defeating the monsters, you can explode the materials!" Ciel, who knew the magic of the high priest, guessed.

Sure enough, before Chami could say anything, the monster's body disappeared.

The high priest said proudly: "That's my magic!"

The magic of the High Priest of the Undersea Temple is game magic. This magic can set corresponding game rules in a place designated as a game area. Everyone in the area must follow the game rules, even the High Priest himself is no exception.

This magic involves rules and is the most unreasonable kind of magic. Various magic abilities can be used in the area. Such as trap magic, space magic, or creation magic that creates huge monsters out of thin air like just now.

Coupled with his own powerful magic power, the high priest is absolutely firmly above the level of the great magic knight.

Unfortunately, just like the name of this magic, the high priest is a guy who plays games. Perhaps it is because of the character of the high priest that he can awaken the magic of games. However, this mentality of treating everything as a game also prevents him from becoming a real strong man.

.

"Your goal is the magic stone! Do you want to come and play with me?"

The high priest approached Vanessa and Noelle, and his originally wretched face became even more indescribable.

“Rubbing x game!”

After being suppressed by Noelle with a punch, the high priest finally became a little more serious.

Magna said unhappily: "Hey old man! We don't have time to play with you. Why do you know about magic stones?"

The high priest said mysteriously: "Hohoho! My eyesight is quite good! What do you think, you all want the magic stone no matter what!"

"What should I do? Do I need to use force to beat him away and rob him?"

"This is the quickest way, not bad! Do you want to kill him?"

"Very good! That old man looks like he has strong magic power. It will be interesting to fight."

Asta quickly stopped the violent trio and said: "What dangerous things are you discussing! How could the Magic Knights do such a thing."

On the other side, it was completely the opposite. The three salted fish were almost completely lying flat.

Finral: "That old man is definitely not ordinary. Let's try not to get into trouble."

Vanessa: "Yawn...I'm a little sleepy."

Qiami: “Excuse me, where can I eat?”

High Priest: "If you win the game, in addition to the magic stone as a reward, I will also arrange a banquet for you. Not only will you be accompanied by the temple's leading beauties, but you will also have carefully prepared fine wine and delicious food."

Salted Fish Trio: “Let’s play!”

After the motivation of the three people was stimulated, Yami also said: "There is really no way! Okay, old man, let me, a master of the game, be your opponent. What do you want to play? Cards or dice?"

The high priest smiled, raised his hand and shouted: "The game we want to play is Temple Battle Royale!"

"...?"

The group of people didn't understand why the high priest suddenly became so happy for himself.

"Game magic, big change in the underwater temple!"

As the high priest took out the magic book, magic power suddenly appeared in the surrounding area, and nine holes suddenly appeared on the wall behind the high priest.

"Priest Mage, come on!"

Nine figures appeared and stood in a row behind the high priest.

These nine people wore the same robes as the high priest, but their faces had masks of various sea creatures.

The magic reactions of these nine people are quite powerful, and they are all at the level of the advanced magic knights in the magic knights.

The high priest said excitedly: "Well, everything is ready, the game officially begins!"

A large amount of water appeared out of thin air and enveloped everyone. Ciel did not sense the danger from this magic and allowed it to take effect.

After the water receded, Charles found himself in a cave, and the voice of the high priest could be heard in his ears.

"The rules of the game are very simple. You, who are scattered in various corners of the temple, will have a duel with nine priests and magicians. Although there are ten of you, it doesn't matter. Just treat it as a benefit for you.

It counts as a victory if the opponent loses consciousness, and it counts as a victory if the opponent abstains! The opponent's team is completely wiped out, or the team with the most members left within the one-hour time limit wins.

You can fight freely, you can fight one on one, or you can find a partner and fight together. But I can also use hindrance magic, so be careful!"

Ciel moved his wrist and tried his best to sense the surrounding situation.

"So fast!"

In Ciel's perception, four of the nineteen magic reactions in the field suddenly disappeared. It seemed that four of the first people they encountered actually resolved the battle directly.

Ciel was not worried at all whether there was a Black Bull among the four defeated people.

"This smell? It has appeared, my enemy!" Charles said to himself, his eyes falling on the person walking out of the corridor.

The person who came was wearing a hammerhead shark mask, and he was the priest-mage who Ciel felt had the strongest magic power in his body.

"Really, I've won the jackpot!" Charles exclaimed.
