Hades could say with absolute certainty that when he took off from here earlier, he flew up four or five ters before encountering any obstruction. But now, after just two ters, he hit the ceiling and couldn’t move an inch further.
This represented even worse news.
It ant the invisible crystal walls here could move!
Moreover, because these crystal walls were scattered widely and invisible, it was very difficult for him to predict their movent paths, let alone avoid them while flying.
No, it won’t work, flying is completely banned now.
Even when using the Levitation Skill, flying slightly higher might hit an invisible wall, not to ntion his luminous stone mask also has a certain height.
Hades could only curse as he took off the mask, carried it on his back, and jumped onto another pillar connected to the crystal pillar he was standing on.
"Sure enough, there’s also a Crystal Giant Puppet there."
Upon deeper exploration, it beca apparent that each pillar had one or even two Crystal Giant Puppets, a density that was incredibly high.
Fortunately, these monsters didn’t possess particularly strong perception abilities. Unless Hades made a big commotion, they would only be disturbed if he got up close.
Since the magic he could use right now was ineffective against the Crystal Giant Puppets, the only way to explore was to rely on his Super Wisdom.
He continuously adjusted the surface’s movents using the characteristics of Crystal Magic and combined it with the Lubrication Technique, luring the Crystal Giant Puppets one by one to fall off the cliff.
However, this thod might only succeed once in ten tries. More often, the loud noise of a Crystal Giant Puppet hitting the ground would attract others, forcing him to face multiple giant puppets simultaneously chasing him.
He tried using crystals he created to construct new paths within the cavern, and surprisingly, this thod had a miraculous effect. The products of crystal and Luminous Stone, although less hard, were highly malleable and could support him in building bridges between two disconnected crystal pillars.
Unfortunately, when such self-built bridges exceeded four or five ters, there was a significant chance of collapse, seemingly due to the cavern environnt rejecting it. But even so, it facilitated Hades’s exploration greatly.
With this thod, he could repeatedly escape the pursuit of the Crystal Giant Puppets.
The longer he stayed in the Crystal Cave, the more familiar Hades beca with its terrain. Eventually, he discovered an effective thod to lure and kill the Crystal Giant Puppets.
He would stand on a Crystal Pillar that connected at its ends and bait the Crystal Giant Puppets. When the enemy chased after him, he would run to the other pillar. If the Crystal Giant Puppet dared to jump and smash him, they might fall and die directly.
This thod was much more successful than the Lubrication Technique.
Even though he kept using the sa thod of making them fall to their deaths to deal with the Crystal Giant Puppets, there was no other option, as he wasn’t a powerful Berserker.
Now, when encountering Crystal Giant Puppets, Hades was hardly panicked.
During his deep exploration, he found that as he walked along the seemingly main pillar, he was moving downward, heading into the underground.
The word "underground" seed quite fitting with "crystal."
"Boom!"
Hades raised his hand and released a Giant Soul Arrow at the Crystal Giant Puppet not far away, and as he ran, he had a thoughtful expression on his face.
By virtue of his keen sense of magic power, he could detect that the deeper he went into the Crystal Cave, the more he could feel the imnse magic power and... souls.
According to Rogen, the products of soul condensation are crystals, aning the deeper he went, the larger the crystal scale, and the higher the purity.
He believed he was getting closer to the secret of the so-called White Dragon Heiss.
But what exactly that secret was, in what form it existed, he still had no idea.
Rogen hadn’t told him, explaining he didn’t want his disciple to seek those things and lose his life in vain.
Hades thought Rogen was a good teacher, but he would definitely make a decision contrary to his teacher’s warnings and venture in search of the secret. It would have been better if Rogen had just told him outright.
As another Crystal Giant Puppet fell into the Abyss, Hades was about to continue exploring deeper, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of an unusual glow.
Not far ahead, he saw a crystal wall glowing with a faint golden light, and the glow ford a figure’s shape from a distance.
In front of this golden crystal wall, there was a golden Crystal Giant Puppet guarding it.
"Finally, a change variable has appeared."
Hades wanted to repeat his old trick to lure the gold giant puppet into the abyss, but after he made a noise, he found the puppet only moved a short distance forward before turning back.
Could it be... defending its post?
With his extraordinary eyesight, he noticed a blocky protruding crystal on the back of the golden giant puppet, different from other Crystal Giant Puppets. Through the semi-transparent material, he could see sothing inside that definitely didn’t belong to the crystal.
It looked like a Magic Wand sealed inside the golden giant puppet?
"Hey, look over here."
Hades set up a bridge between himself and the golden giant puppet, walking over boldly and taunting it, while secretly preparing to make a quick escape.
However, the golden giant puppet rely glanced at him and lost interest.
No desire to attack? Or just not falling for it?
Left with no choice, Hades tried to slowly approach the golden giant puppet.
But then, the previously quiet golden giant puppet suddenly erupted, swinging its extrely thick forelimbs to smash at him.
Even prepared, Hades was startled, quickly retreating as a Hurricane blew him back. But when he looked up,
The golden puppet charged like a rampaging gorilla with a speed far surpassing any normal Crystal Giant Puppet!
Hades created thick crystal walls along the way to block its path, but they were smashed right through. The golden giant puppet’s montum was unstoppable!
This golden giant puppet was the elite of the elite, and it was a complete mismatch for Hades’s abilities, rendering his magician skills ineffectual!
Moreover, it had intelligence that normal Crystal Giant Puppets lacked, completely immune to being lured into falling off cliffs. For Hades, it was an unsolvable obstacle.
So he could only...
"Run!"
Hades fled with all his might, quickly disappearing into the depths of the Crystal Cave together with the relentless golden giant puppet.
...
A few minutes later, Hades appeared in front of the golden crystal wall, but the golden giant puppet was nowhere in sight.
"Clone Magic is really useful."
He sighed, placing his hand on the golden wall.
Through the crystal, he could see behind the golden wall, there was a human corpse, a robust man whose body, wrapped in cleanliness, showed no sign of decay, looking as if he were rely asleep.
But the mont he touched the wall, a spiritual body identical in appearance to the man inside suddenly appeared beside him. Holding its head in remorse, it spoke to itself:
"If only I hadn’t co to trouble White Dragon Heiss, I can’t get out, I’ll never get out for the rest of my life..."
"If I could get out, I would definitely destroy your precious crystal, so you can no longer live immortally, White Dragon Heiss..."
"Crystal?"
Hades blinked and was suddenly inspired by the spiritual body’s words.
And at that mont, the spiritual body transford into a beam of golden light across the sky, seemingly drawing a route for him.
"You want to avenge you."
He gladly stepped onto the path indicated by the golden light, however—
"Rumble!"
The entire Crystal Cave suddenly trembled violently, and Hades even heard a roar.
"White Dragon Heiss!?"
