The Witcher: Elemental Lords

The trees on the mountain were also very distinctive, consisting of pagoda trees, dark wood, or other types of trees with yin attributes. Although full of vitality, they made people feel a chill in their hearts.

Cold, damp, and dark—this was the overall feeling the mountain gave.

The sect's gate was just ahead, with two super-massive stone statues flanking the entrance. One was a dark brown giant serpent, and the other was a roaring King Kong. Between the two statues was a circular archway.

Beneath the archway, a guard who didn't seem quite human, clad in armor, sat on a stone stool. His wide, heavy helmet gleamed with metallic luster, and beneath it, where his eyes should have been, were empty sockets, utterly lifeless.

Within the gate, one could see rows of houses and palaces, but they were all in a state of deathly silence, even somewhat dark. Waves of dark aura radiated from within, affecting the entire wizard array.

Seeing the guard, Old Poison's face turned grim.

"This guard is very strong, about the strength of a late-stage Rank 6. Normally, it wouldn't be a big deal; we could grind him down. But the problem is that this thing isn't human and doesn't respond to various attribute potions. We can only rely on brute strength, which makes it very difficult. Look at those people outside; most can't even get past this guardian. And even if they do get through, they have to face the guard again when they come out for another fight."

Dore didn't sense the guard's aura and didn't take it seriously. Was it really necessary to enter through here in such a large place?

At that moment, he activated the Eye of the Storm and also observed the surroundings from the perspective of the Bone Demon God.

The world before him turned gray, and a hazy mist appeared. Within the mist, various dangers constantly emerged.

In Dore's new vision, the surroundings were a chaotic blur, with various runes constantly emerging. These runes looked very powerful, with considerable power, almost filling every space around. Only the area at the main entrance had a small patch of blank space without runes.

In other words, in the entire world before him, only the gate was a passable area. But unfortunately, there was a guard with considerable strength there.

It seemed this place was the only passage. To enter from other places, one would at least need to be able to decipher the wizard array. By the time one had that skill, the guard would have been defeated countless times.

Dore glanced at Tom and asked, "What is this guard inclined towards?"

Old Poison said, "Inclined towards poison and soul aspects. I once bought relevant information saying that it integrates a very powerful array that can unleash various toxins and soul attacks. Although it has no intelligence, its attacks are very powerful and seem quite remarkable."

Dore nodded and said, "Then you go ahead and try it out first. I'll observe from the side."

Old Poison nodded and stepped forward.

The guardian remained deathly silent, but as Old Poison advanced, Dore noticed that the black holes where the guard's eyes should be gradually brightened. Moreover, as the guard activated, the surrounding magic array continuously sent energy into the guard's body.

The external manifestation was that a faint breeze suddenly blew at the entrance, and the guard's eyes lit up, slowly rising from the ground. At the same time, a thick layer of energy shield emerged around him. Simultaneously, an energy weapon appeared in his hand, resembling a long spear.

Old Poison had obviously dealt with this thing countless times. Seeing the guardian stand up, he shouted to Dore, "Don't be fooled by the weapon in this guy's hand. He can't leave the entrance by more than ten meters. The weapon is just for show. The main thing is to guard against attacks from various wizard arrays. For example, he'll release an energy wave right from the start."

Old Poison had just finished speaking when he saw the guard pick up the spear in his hand. His eyes suddenly shone brightly, emitting two blue beams of light, radiating extremely penetrating light, shooting towards Old Poison.

Old Poison was already prepared. With a flick of his sleeve, a smooth, bright black mirror appeared in front of him, radiating a blazing white metallic light. A masculine and cold aura appeared on his body.

At the same time, he waved his hand, and magic power condensed around him, quickly landing at his feet, condensing into several white snakes less than a meter long, darting towards the guard at an extremely fast speed, looking just like real snakes.

Seeing this, Dore was slightly moved. Old Poison had gone quite far on the path of wizardry mimicry. These snakes were enough to be mistaken for real ones.

Don't underestimate them; the aura they emitted had already reached Rank 6 and was very condensed. It was clear that Old Poison had put a lot of effort into this wizardry.

In a flash, the light had already shot onto Old Poison's defensive wizardry. The light suddenly stopped, smashing onto the mirror like a heavy hammer, making a thunderous explosion. The mirror retreated violently, along with Old Poison. At this moment, a portion of the light deflected and shot in other directions.

At this time, the snakes quickly went towards the guard and soon reached his feet.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, the snakes directly jumped up, suddenly growing larger, like pythons, wrapping around the guard. Once they wrapped around, it probably wouldn't be so easy to break free.

At this time, a black gas emerged from the guard's body, spreading outwards. The three giant pythons drilled into the black gas, and a foul-smelling white smoke immediately emerged from their bodies. Two different forces of wizardry frantically clashed.

The white snakes emitted white smoke, but ultimately wrapped around the guard's body, from his feet to his legs, then to his body, to his neck, and then frantically strangled him.

The guard remained motionless. The energy in his eyes could still accurately hit the shield in front of Old Poison, but his body could be seen trembling noticeably.

The two sides were at a stalemate.

At this time, Old Poison's voice sounded in Dore's ear, "This thing's power is very strong. It's made of unknown materials. My White Snake wizardry is already very powerful among Rank 6, but it still can't do anything to this thing. I've used other wizardries to attack, but they only break the armor on his body. There's still a thick layer of armor underneath, and it doesn't respond to poison or venom. You can only use strong attacks."

Dore stood outside, carefully watching the two sides fighting. He could see that the White Snake wizardry was indeed very powerful, but it was only effective against an ordinary guard. It hadn't fully unleashed its power. At least its form could become larger, and its attack power could become stronger. But wrapped around the guard, no matter how much power it exerted, it remained motionless under the replenishment of the surrounding wizard array. It looked like this thing was about to be strangled, but it was actually far from it.

The outer armor seemed to have very strong anti-magic attributes, completely fearless.

Before long, the snakes' energy was exhausted and disappeared, but the guard's eyes still emitted bright light, tirelessly firing pure energy waves at Old Poison.

Old Poison was retreating step by step under the energy waves, retreating about ten meters. The aura on the guard's body suddenly plummeted, and the light suddenly disappeared.

Old Poison breathed a sigh of relief, and then he said, "Take another look."
