Chapter 1627: Chapter 937: The Isolated Lord and the Furious Family Head_1 Chapter 1627: Chapter 937: The Isolated Lord and the Furious Family Head_1 In the unknown temple filled with dust and ancient slls, Leo Ray slowed down his pace as his dark pupils cautiously shifted around.
Just monts ago, Leo Ray suddenly noticed.
Everything around him was eerily bizarre. The breathing, footsteps, and even the heartbeat of his subordinates seed to have vanished completely, as if ti had been suddenly withdrawn from them.
Everything was too quiet.
Thump, thump, thump.
In the vast ancient temple, only Leo Ray’s footsteps echoed, harsh and empty.
Faced with this unknown dark environnt and the sudden strange occurrences, even Leo Ray, who had experienced many brushes with death, couldn’t help but shudder, cold sweat oozing from his forehead.
Despite his subordinates still surrounding him, he could not sense any signs of life. It was as if what surrounded him were a group of puppet-like walking corpses, dull and chanical.
The guiding light orb grew dimr, unable to dispel the abyss-like darkness around it.
More accurately, the boundless cold darkness was slowly approaching Leo Ray, seemingly about to swallow him at any mont.
While feeling horrified, Leo Ray slowly turned his head, eting Ariel Watson’s empty and lifeless starry eyes. Her stiff expression on her fair face was no different from a hanging puppet.
“Has so spell taken control of my subordinates, or are these ‘subordinates’ rely illusions?”
Before Leo Ray could figure out what was going on, Taylor and Red Night, who were scouting ahead, had already turned around, swinging their weapons, and slowly approached Leo Ray.
Ariel, Jasper Richardson, and Leah behind Leo Ray also made the sa move.
In the blink of an eye, five murderous puppet-like shadows surrounded Leo Ray.
During this process, with the help of various sense-enhancing Magic dicines, the [Blessed Golden Pupil], and the Power of Divine Grace, Leo Ray had already discerned so clues.
These five puppet-like figures, although their emitted montum and scent were identical to his actual subordinates, their appearance flickered with a fleeting illusion.
By now, the situation was very clear.
“So they are illusions after all?”
Leo Ray slowly took a deep breath, his complexion growing more solemn.
Just monts ago, Leo Ray had already noticed.
Only the subordinates around him showed any signs, but not the unknown temple itself.
It was this mixture of real and fake that had been the source of the eerie strangeness before.
Leo Ray had never encountered a situation where the surrounding scenery was real, but his subordinates were fake before.
“When were Ariel, Jasper, and Leah, who has never left my side, replaced?”
Facing the illusions that could attack him at any ti, a light gray short-distance teleportation scroll appeared in Leo Ray’s hand.
Although these teleportation scrolls were extrely rare, Leo Ray had stockpiled quite a few of them after his previous large-scale battles and had mastered their perfect use with Jasper Richardson’s assistance.
Without hesitation, Leo Ray activated the teleportation scroll, instantly escaping the encirclent of illusions.
Leo Ray clearly understood that he had not yet penetrated the depth of this unknown temple, and only had to return to the Dwarves’ Inverted Temple to reunite with his real subordinates.
As for the current critical situation, although it was extrely dangerous, Leo Ray, who had walked the line of life and death many tis, was no longer so anxious once he figured out his circumstances.
After all, Leo Ray, who had recently upgraded his spoils of war, had an extrely formidable foundation. The number of Tier 5 scrolls on him alone was enough to rival a genuine Tier 5 Powerhouse.
In the blink of an eye, Leo Ray had already flashed several hundred ters away, right at the intersection between the unknown temple and the Dwarven Temple.
However, when Leo Ray reappeared, he discovered sothing unexpected.
The path that had once connected the Dwarves’ temple was now completely gone, and the strangely tilted statue of a goddess had also returned to its upright position.
It was then that Leo Ray finally realized.
Unbeknownst to him, even the originally slanted 45-degree path had flattened out, as if the crooked space had suddenly returned to its original state.
“Has the way back been blocked?”
Amidst his astonishnt, Leo Ray attempted to use Mind Talk, but could not contact any of his subordinates.
“So, I’m trapped here alone?”
Leo Ray gripped his sword, his expression growing even more solemn.
The once wide open space had suddenly beco enclosed, and even the inclined terrain had changed. This was clearly not sothing that could be achieved through so sort of chanism.
In other words, he might have unknowingly entered a cleverly designed Barrier Area.
“Heh heh, foolish and despicable Mr. Lane, it seems you’ve finally understood your situation.”
Harrison’s contemptuous voice rang out, mocking, “Just as you thought, in this small Barrier Area, there is indeed only you, a living person.”
“Of course, there are also those illusions whose strength is no different than your subordinates.”
