Chapter 365: Probing
Jackman’s jaw dropped. “What… What is this? A Falling Lightning spell? Why would a Falling Lightning spell have such high damage? How… How is this possible?”
Beside him, Alza was also extremely puzzled.
From the appearance of the spell and the energy fluctuation when it was triggered, there wasn’t much energy fluctuation in it. This should be an ordinary (Falling Lightning Spell]. However, the Falling Lightning spell was only an Apprentice-level spell. How could it cause such high damage? Even the defensive spells of intermediate-level Wizards would be torn apart.
“Wizard Heath, do you know what’s going
on?”
The two looked at Heath.
Heath hesitated for a moment and explained, “This is not a Falling Lightning spell. It’s a rule-type spell.”
“What?”
“Rule-type spell!”
The two of them were shocked.
Heath nodded. “It can’t be wrong. When the spell was triggered, I sensed the rule power inside. It must be using rule-type runes, and there are quite a few of them.”
When he first arrived here, he had already sensed the unique energy fluctuation of a rule-type spell, so he had deliberately used the flying puppet to test it out. When the lightning was triggered, he had deliberately used his mind power tentacle to sense it, and sure enough, he had sensed the existence of a rule-type spell.
Jackman and Alza’s expressions became ugly.
Of course, they knew what a rule-type spell was. It was a product far from their level, and it belonged to the knowledge of the Stigmata level. With their current strength, they did not dare to touch it.
The two looked at Heath.
Alza hesitated. “Wizard Heath, what… what should we do?”
From the situation just now, it was clear that the cliff was covered with a set of magic arrays. The clouds floating in the middle of the cliff were actually the magic traps that triggered these magic arrays.
Such magic traps were spread all over the cliff. As long as they tried to pass through, they would definitely be attacked by these clouds. That was a rule-based spell. With their strength, it was impossible for them to pass through
One had to know that it was only one of the clouds that had just torn apart Heath’s defensive spell. Such clouds were densely packed all over the cliff.
Heath did not answer. Instead, he walked to the edge of the cliff to observe for a while. Then, he took out a few metal puppets and let them fly.
Under Heath’s control, the flying little things were like an army in a straight line, flying in several directions from the cliff.
They were no different from the metal puppets from before. When these little things flew into the cliff, they immediately triggered the magic array inside. The clouds released various spells, such as fire, lightning, and frost. In an instant, Heath’s metal puppets were torn into pieces.
Although these metal puppets were just small toys, they were expensive. A metal puppet cost at least a few hundred Magic Stones. In just a short while, Heath had already lost at least tens of thousands of Magic Stones.
However, Heath did not seem to care at all. He continued to take out the metal puppet and let it fly. When all of his metal puppets were used up, he asked Jackman and Alza:
“Hey, you two, do you have any metal tools that can fly? Take them out and try.”
The two looked at each other.
Alza said, “Yes, we do, but… Wizard Heath, can you tell us what you are…”
Heath explained, “Haven’t you noticed? These magic traps are fixed magic traps. They don’t have a mechanism to distinguish between friend and foe.”
Magic traps were divided into fixed and thinking types.
The fixed type could be understood as a simple switch. This kind of magic trap didn’t have a mechanism to distinguish between friend and foe. As long as it entered the range of the magic trap, it would automatically trigger it. For example, a beast trap… Regardless of whether it was a hunter or a beast stepping on it, they would be caught.
The latter was a thought-type. This kind of magic trap was like an intelligent machine that could make some simple judgments about the external environment. It could distinguish between friend and foe. It would only harm strangers and not the Wizard himself.
The difference between the two was that one was simple, the production cost was low, and the other was complicated. The production cost was also extremely high.
And the clouds that Heath had just observed were clearly a fixed magic array. Whether they entered or the Wizard himself entered, they would trigger the clouds and cause damage.
Heath said, “Since this magic trap is fixed, then how did the Wizard who lived here get there?”
Alza and Jackman’s eyes lit up.
Jackman said, “Heath, you mean…”
Heath nodded and said with certainty, “Yes, I think there must be a passage hidden in this pile of magic traps that only the Wizard knows about. It can lead to the opposite passage!” “I see!”
Alza and Jackman were not stupid people. They just did not react before. After listening to Heath’s explanation, they immediately understood.
Jackman smiled and said, “I see. So, Heath, you used those metal puppets to throw them into the cliff just now to test where they would be attacked and find the way to the other side. Is that right?”
Heath nodded and said, “Yes, but I don’t have enough metal puppets, so I want to ask if you have anything else that can be used. It doesn’t need to be high-level, as long as it can fly.”
He had just tested it, and the trigger mechanism of this trap was very ordinary. Basically, as long as there were elemental fluctuations, the trap could be triggered.
Jackman said, “I still have some Flying Letter Paper here, which is used to communicate with the tower. I’ll try it now.”
Alza also echoed, “I also have some Flying Wood here, which can be used to test it out.”
Flying Wood was a common magic material. Because its density was very low and it was very compatible with flying runes, Wizards often used it to make flying instruments such as brooms.
Jackman immediately took out the Flying Letter Paper and used a command spell to fold the Flying Letter Paper into paper cranes and let them fly. Alza cut the Flying Wood into pieces and attached flying runes to it, controlling them to fly toward the cliff.
In an instant, the densely packed paper cranes and Flying Wood floated towards the cliff like a school of fish in the deep sea.
The clouds floating in the cliff did not show any mercy towards the flying army charging towards them. One after another, they lit up with dazzling beams of light and released all kinds of colorful spells.
With a loud rumble, the flying objects in the sky were all destroyed by magic.
But at the same time, in the midst of the magic, it was clear that there was a peaceful place that had not been bombarded by magic at all…
