Chapter 1132 - Enter the Ruins (2/2)
But ‘defensive’ and ‘imprisonment’ were entirely different. ‘Defensive’ was used to protect something from harm, while ‘imprisonment’ was used to prevent being harmed from something. If this was just a defensive enchanted field, it would only be a defense mechanism of this sacred palace. But if it was the imprisonment enchanted field…
Could it be that one of the five Creator Dragons came up with some strange ideas back then?
Rhode’s expression turned grim at this thought. Then, he asked urgently.
“Can those guys you sent cast this imprisonment enchanted field?”
This time, his younger sister pondered in silence to his question for a few moments. Then, she gnashed her teeth and said, “Only Marybelle is capable of casting such an enchanted field. This is space imprisonment and only the Deity Wardens I created are capable of using such a special enchanted field.”
“… Huh?”
After hearing his younger sister’s answer, Rhode scratched his head in confusion. He considered the possibilities of one of the Creator Dragons’ subjects receiving orders from the dark side, ambushing Marybelle, and imprisoning this sacred palace. But as a matter of fact, this imprisonment enchanted field was released by Marybelle? What was going on? Was something imprisoned within? Marybelle couldn’t have made a wrong move and trapped herself inside, right? While Rhode pondered deeply, Thomas’s voice sounded once again.
“This is a kind of space barrier that is hard to break. We’ve spent a lot of effort and time to find a way to disintegrate it but to no avail. Fortunately, we have a solution this time…” Thomas revealed a delightful expression. This space barrier wasn’t seen anywhere else and its origin also wasn’t discovered, which was extremely strange. No matter where they excavated, they didn’t figure out where it came from. Of course, he reported this matter to his higher-ups to request for more funds and equipment. However, the higher-ups were no longer interested in the research of ruins back then and the space barrier was too challenging to break. Even though the higher-ups had the will and intention to research, they were also afraid of causing a ruckus and causing it to be discovered by outsiders, which was why they eventually gave up. But now, after Thomas gained their full support, he finally found a solution.
Thomas waved his arm and several soldiers went up to him, placing four large, sealed iron boxes on the ground solemnly. They opened the boxes and everyone witnessed four stone statues carved with dragons inside. Looking at the four dragons, Rhode’s expression turned complicated… Well, this wasn’t the first time he saw them.
“This is what we unearthed in the other four ruins. According to my analysis, they contain strange powers that coincide with the energy waves from this shield. We did an experiment earlier and found that as long as we trigger the powers of these four statues, we can break the shield.”
Thomas said and made a hand gesture. Shortly after, an officer pressed the button on a hand-held device and a mechanical sound rang. Unsure of what methods they used, the stone dragons emanated a mysterious, white radiance instantly. Their eyes also brightened and emitted eight dazzling light beams abruptly, striking heavily on the sacred palace. Then, the colorful shield around the sacred palace appeared once again. Looking at this scene, everyone widened their eyes in surprise and due to this reason, no one discovered the bright glint flashing in Rhode’s eyes. At the same time, a faint magical summoning radiance flickered on Rhode’s right hand, before transforming into an odd, circular magical ritual that spun for a few seconds before vanishing entirely.
This scene lasted for less than two minutes. As Rhode stood at the back of the large group, no one realized the phenomenon. Along with his movement, the shield suddenly disappeared and loud thunderous booms were heard where large slates flew out of the abyss and formed a huge path.
Gazing at this scene, Thomas became incomparably thrilled. He ascended the flight of stairs in excitement without beckoning to the rest, but they hurried to follow him closely. Meanwhile, the soldiers also raised their weapons quickly and went up the stairs, leaving behind Rhode’s group in the back.
“Your Majesty Rhode, is anything the matter?”
Looking at this majestic palace, Lydia and Erin were curious to check it out. However, Rhode had given them a signal earlier and made them stay in the back. At this moment, they looked at him in confusion, while Rhode observed their expressions and nodded.
“That’s right, something strange may be going on. I suppose both of you have already witnessed it. That is an imprisonment enchanted field, so perhaps something odd is inside. Everyone, be careful, especially of those guys at the front. Don’t let them touch anything they shouldn’t. If not, there will be trouble.”
Rhode said and turned to Canary and Mini Bubble Gum.
“Of course, attack if anything is to happen.”
It went without saying that Thomas wasn’t aware that he had gotten in too deep. After Rhode’s group entered the sacred palace, Thomas and the rest were observing the surroundings in excitement. The walls of this sacred palace were engraved with all sorts of mystical wording that was unknown to most people—even Erin and Lydia only had slight knowledge of it. But with Rhode’s younger sister, who was the original Void Dragon, around, it went without saying that she understood the words. As the group advanced, Rhode’s younger sister explained the content to him.
Indeed, what was recorded on the walls of this sacred palace was the pioneering history of Marybelle and the representative sent by the Creator Dragons. According to the records, even though the five Creator Dragons’ representatives had transmigrated, they were separated and not sent to the same place. They didn’t gather immediately, but chose to build camps individually instead (It seemed like the representatives also understood what demarcation was, where they had thought of separating territories before transmigrating). Back then, Earth was naturally abnormally dangerous to ordinary people. But in the eyes of the representatives, the dinosaurs were nothing more than ordinary ‘creatures’. After all, compared to the beasts and wild animals in the Dragon Soul Continent, even though the dinosaurs were massive, they didn’t possess similar abilities, so they were no threat at all.
On the other hand, Marybelle had also successfully constructed this sacred palace. Then, as long as they gathered, activated the Door of Akasha, and opened up the teleportation channel… But…
“How is this possible?!”
After reading the text on the wall, Rhode’s younger sister shrieked. Rhode gazed at the unknown text, as well as the drawn twisted monsters. After a few moments, his younger sister explained.
“… Big Brother, if the records aren’t wrong… we may have some troubles ahead…”
