188 Deadly trap! Formidable Endurance!! (1/2)

Sheyan gazed up, instantly sensing that these keys lazily floating in the sky had turned a little hazy. The metals professor pondered before crying out.

”Not good! Probably ten thousand years of time has done much harm to the mechanism. Do you still remember the glow emitted from the warhammer previously? Based on modern day perspective, that glow should be an unknown energy source. This source can activate the hall’s surrounding mechanisms, and cast such an illumination that attracts these winged keys out of hiding!”

”Which goes to say, once the energy source is exhausted, then naturally the winged keys would be go back into hiding! This means that to obtain another chance at capturing the key, we have to wait for that dwarf sculpture to once again accumulate enough energy in his warhammer. Who knows maybe that thing requires a thousand years to regenerate its energy, or maybe it will never regenerate even!”

”Hurry let’s act!” The Metals professor released an unrestrained fierceness.

”Time is precious, everyone together!”

Upon the Metals Professor’s command, even Phelps charged forward. The hall was already so broad, and the widely scattering keys could number in the thousands. It seemed like searching would be a completely arduous job.

Deke held the most adoration and respect for the Metals Professor, in addition to his superior agility, he took the lead in sprinting ahead. Everywhere he passed he touched against the dancing keys in mid air.

The keys were like seaweed in the sea, lazily drifting about in the sky. Once in a long while, it would flap its wings and continued to enjoy the gliding sensation.

”Over there!” Deke suddenly shouted out, his voice contained a clear delight.

Where Deke was pointing, a key that seemed different from others was peacefully adrift at the nearby distant.

It had six wings, its composition was massive and the material looked exactly identical to the stone door. On it was even engraved several mysterious characters which should be hebrew language. These characters really looked like those temple chanting scriptures. Moreover, this key appeared to be abnormally cosy under the light rays, it even lazily flipped over just like a big belly fatty sun tanning at the beach.

Deke sprinted ahead, and leapt up to grab the key. Although it was impossible to use any abilities here, a contestant still vastly exceeded an average person’s physical limits. With that leap, he jumped at least 2 metres high and he straightforwardly pulled the key down. He then directly darted towards the door.

According to Deke’s running speed, if he was empty handed, he would only require 3-5 seconds to cover the entire 30 metres leading to the stone door. But when he grabbed onto the key, he realized that the struggling strength of this key was extremely appaling. Don’t talk about running with it, even forcefully gripping onto it was a problem. His heart was a sea of excitement and anxiousness, immediately shouting out loudly.

”I need help!!”

Presently, Phelps was the nearest to Deke. With their combined strength, they managed to press the massive key to the ground before forcefully dragging it to the stone door. That key fluttered exasperatedly on the ground, but it was as hopeless as a large group of peddlers being swept away by the police. It could only stare in despair as it was dragged further away from its comrades.

But at that instance, Sheyan could hear a queer buzzing in his ears. It was like a thousand bees vibrating their wings.

Looking now, they immediately discovered the initially lethargic winged keys had started to flap their wings at full throttle, angrily and impatiently pushing their way through in this enclosed space. As that stone key was pulled further, hundreds of other keys started to burst shuttle back and forth furiously in mid air! The earliest was a brass key as it slashed across Deke’s cheek, carving out a wound. Followed by 2, 3, 10 keys!

What was more frightening is that, countless amounts of winged keys turned berserk and frantically swarmed around them, like they were the core of a tornado. The keys were frightening in numbers, as the circled rapidly and devastatingly. The trajectory and speed of thousands of winged keys coincided together, like a catastrophic hurricane with seawaves and torrents as high as the heavens! Consecutively, even him who had been abandoned and idling by the side was caught up in this shredding fury, his hands and back appeared numerous cut wounds.

In that instance, Sheyan suddenly received a notification from the nightmare imprint:

[ You received the attack of the winged keys. You receive 7 points of true damage, this damage ignores all defence. Its precedence ranking: ‘Domain precedence’ ]
