Hickman Arlington, hearing “pressure step board,” slightly tensed his facial features:
“I have no idea what you’re talking about..”
“It doesn’t matter whether you understand or not, Hickman Arlington. As long as you cooperate honestly, we will handle things according to the ‘No. 6 Wizard’s Law’.”
Philia looked away, no longer focusing on the anxious Hickman Arlington.
Her gaze moved along the fissure caused by the explosion toward the pressure step board. Many fragments of corpses torn to shreds by the explosive force appeared in her field of view.
The ‘Elemental Vision’ magic revealed:
The pressure step board is an alchemical product, composed of metal parts and stones, and carries a faint trace of earth elemental energy.
The silk thread connected to the pressure step board is a pure metal object, and it also carries a faint trace of earth elemental energy.
These threads extend from the floor of the underground Layer 10 to the ceiling
of the Underground Layer 11, which is the top of the Demon Rat Nest’s first layer.
Clearly, the silk thread is controlled by the pressure step board and is used to trigger a certain deadly trap.
For instance, four controlled-grade alchemy bombs.
The energy shock caused by these four bombs was so evident that it was hard for Philia to ignore their existence.
But the question is, how did these four controlled bombs, which should have been placed in the nest’s first layer, get detonated near the pressure step board?
Moreover, it just happened to kill the Blackbone Hermit and Armed Alchemical Servant guarding this place…
Not to mention elemental wizards like Philia being confused, even the petty Hickman Arlington is very baffled.
Could there be a hidden force on the scene?
Both Philia and Hickman Arlington had this speculation in their hearts.
Philia suspected that it might be related to the strange creature behind the Sector 7 Metal Gate.
Hickman Arlington considered the hidden force as the wizard sent by Philia’s mentor.
The two, each with their own thoughts, patiently waited for the security team members to finish clearing the temporary camp.
Philia lowered her gaze and looked down at the floor under her feet. Her gaze penetrated the passage from the first to second layer of the Demonized Rat Nest and fell on the third layer.
In the magical vision of the ‘Elemental Vision,’ each tunnel layer was filled with a strong earth elemental energy and wind elemental energy disturbed by the Demon Rats.
Only in the third layer of the nest and near the Sage’s Lock, the elemental energies were displaced by extraordinary forces, leaving several blank areas in the shape of human silhouettes.
Those human silhouettes, which repel elemental energies, are lurking in the dark corners of the third layer of the nest, just like the evil beasts waiting for their prey to come to their door.
Elemental energy is a very magical thing.
