411 Seal Lifted (2/2)

Few large animals could be found on this sea island, but there were plenty of venomous snakes.

After two hours, Roland's team found a place that was relatively flat. He built a two-story building with Mud to Stone, with a few air holes on the roof. Then, they took a rest inside.

To be honest, the snakes here were quite disgusting, but thankfully, Roland had built a safe house with his spell.

They had some food to replenish themselves on the clean and cool second floor.

But when it was late at night, Andonara suddenly held her chest and looked at the center of the island uncomfortably.

”What's wrong?” asked Roland.

”Something seems to be calling me from there.” Andonara furrowed her beautiful brow. ”But another power that makes me very uncomfortable is urging me to get away.”

Everybody looked at her strangely.

”Will it affect your combat ability?”

Andonara shook her head.

”Then take a rest first.” Roland thought for a moment and said, ”Let's see how it will turn out tomorrow.”

The next morning, they had some random breakfast and took off. It was not until noon that they finally found the cave marked on the map.

Looking at the dark cave, Roland remarked, ”This is really an inconspicuous place. How did Hawk find it?”

”Maybe with his habit of exploration,” Liz explained. ”You Mages study the nature of magic every day, but for us who don't study magic, there's nothing we can do except explore the map when we're free.”

Fair enough.

Those physical classes could indeed get rather bored if they didn't have any battles they could fight.

Andonara, on the other hand, looked at the cave with great discomfort.

Roland had been observing her expression. Seeing her reaction, he said, ”Let's just abort!”

”I'm not uncomfortable.” Andonara shook her head and explained, ”It's more of a palpitation. My instincts tell me that this is a dangerous place and we shouldn't be here, but they're also telling me that I should go in and check it out. So I'm in a dilemma.”

She felt such foreboding when she was almost Legendary?

Roland thought for a moment and said, ”Why don't you stay here and let us explore it? We can be resurrected.”

Andonara shook her head. ”I'm going in with you.”

Roland thought some more and replied, ”Okay, but remember that you should run immediately if you're in danger. You can't be resurrected like us.”

Andonara nodded.

All four of them entered the cave.

Liz, who had been fully armed, led the team. After about three minutes, they saw a gigantic space.

The space was not natural but hollowed by someone.

The cavern was tall and wide, with about a hundred blue fiery birds flying inside. They shrieked and swooped at the intruders.

According to their plan, everybody was about to shoot down those fiery birds.

But Andonara suddenly said, ”Don't do anything!”

Everybody looked at her weirdly.

Andonara stepped forward and extended her right hand, and blue flames started burning on her fingertip.

Those little fiery birds immediately stopped and flew to a sword that had been stabbed into the ground at the center.

Roland and his team didn't notice the sword until this moment.

When the fiery birds all lunged to the sword, it was wreathed in blue flames that veiled the sword. They could see nothing but a dark shadow underneath the flames.

Then, the flames spread along the body of the sword and soon reached the ground.

After that, blue stripes glittered one after another, constituting an enormous blue magic array that looked like a spider web.

The whole cavern was illuminated by the blue light.

Vincent sighed and said, ”Hawk said that those fiery birds were very tricky. They're immune to physical attacks and can only be destroyed with magic, but they can regenerate. I didn't know that you could get rid of them so easily.”

He peeped at Andonara as he talked and then looked at Roland enviously.

Not only could this NPC get rid of the birds, but she could also do other things like warming the bed… He was too jealous.

Roland squatted and threw a stone into the magic array, but there was no reaction.

He turned around and asked Andonara, ”How do you feel?”

”Better.” Andonara nodded. ”I'm going to draw the sword now.”

”Wait.” Roland stopped Andonara and said, ”We don't know the purpose of this magic array. It could be a trap. Let me try it first.”

After he said that, he asked the two shield-wielding puppets to pluck the sword.

But the puppets were burned into basic elemental particles by the blue flames the moment they touched the sword.

”Very powerful.”

Roland thought a moment and remarked, ”It seems that we can only toughen up now. Liz, you are a Priest of the Water God. Do you have any irrigation spells?”

”No,” Liz said helplessly, ”I'm a Battle Priest. All my skills are for battles.”

”Then let me do it,” Roland said. ”I'll turn this place into a swamp with Rock to Mud to sink the sword and destroy the magic array. That should be able to put out the fire on the sword.”

At this point, Andonara said, ”That's unnecessary. I'm going to draw the sword out.”

”But…”

Andonara said with a smile, ”The blue flames can't hurt me. After all, it's a special ability of my family.”

After a brief silence, Roland reminded her, ”Remember, run immediately if anything goes wrong.”

”Got it.”

Andonara was very happy that Roland cared about her so much.

If other people weren't around, she would've jumped into his arms and made out with him.

Taking a deep breath, she walked into the magic array and grasped the handle of the sword.

By doing that, she seemed to have triggered a certain mechanism. The blue flames were simply concentrated and absorbed by the sword.

The brilliance of the blue magic array died down too, revealing the real appearance of the sword.

The handle of the sword was bright gold, but its body was blue, with florescences flowing inside.

They were the only two colors on the sword. It seemed plain but left an extraordinary impression on everybody.

Hardly had Andonara exerted her strength when the sword was drawn.

Then, shadows of flames surged inside Andonara's blue eyes.

Five seconds later, Andonara said, ”I've acquired a memory. Roland, get out of the cave right now and prepare for battle. It's coming out.”
