Chapter 574: Ihalus in the Bloody Tower

City Lord's Mansion, Bloody Tower,
At the bottom of the ancient and dark tower, a figure sat quietly on a tall throne. In the air above the throne, an illusory ball of light kept shedding dots of glow.

The figure on the throne was skinny, as if the long time and endless suffering had squeezed every bit of flesh and blood out of him, leaving only skin and bones, like a ghost that had escaped from the edge of hell.

On the top of the tower, countless scarlet blood plasma poured down silently from the top of the tower, like a waterfall controlled by an invisible hand, with a strange tranquility and ominousness. These blood plasmas intertwined into streams in the air, and finally gathered at the bottom of the tower, gradually forming a pool of blood that was higher than the figure's knees.

The scarlet plasma surged and twisted in the pool, like twisted life. Every wave released a heart-pounding murderous intent, as if it could penetrate the flesh and reach deep into the soul.

The air around them was filled with a suffocating smell of rust and corruption, a smell of blood and time, which made people feel an indescribable fear and oppression. The figure sitting on the throne seemed to merge with the sea of ​​blood, becoming an inseparable part of this horrific scene.

In this area stained with blood, time seemed to have lost its meaning, leaving only eternal silence and the thought of killing hovering in the air. The skinny figure was the master of this area, sitting on the throne in an unusual posture, as if quietly waiting for something, guarding something.

Li Si was flying in the air above the tower, looking down at everything in this blood-red tower.

His eyes instantly swept across everything in the tower. Before he could be surprised, Li Si suddenly saw the thin figure sitting on the throne suddenly raised his head and glanced at him high in the sky.

His eyes were sunken, flashing with a faint light that was not of this world. It was a look that was plunged into deathly silence, yet seemed to contain the light of an unusually firm will.

Li Si clearly did not sense any murderous intent, but he instantly felt a chill down his spine, as if some great danger was about to befall him.

In an instant, the scarlet blood in the entire blood-colored tower began to boil, and under the influence of the extremely terrifying and vast magic power, it turned into countless blood-colored arrows that attacked Li Si.

Depend on!
Li Si's face changed. The strong malice emanating from those blood-colored arrows made him dare not touch them at all.

He was certain that these arrows formed from scarlet plasma might even contain divine power, which was simply beyond the ability of a legendary like him to resist.

Li Si didn't even cast a magic shield, he just used space teleportation to leave here.

After losing their target, those blood-colored arrows dissipated in the air, and the scarlet plasma left behind also returned to the blood-colored tower.

With Li Si's departure, the blood-colored tower returned to its previous tranquility, and even the simple barrier left by Li Si was not broken.

The figure sitting on the throne in the blood-red tower lowered his head again, and stood still like a mummy.

A moment later, Li Si's figure appeared on the roof at the edge of the City Lord's Mansion, looking towards the backyard of the building with lingering fear.

Although the blood-red tower had disappeared, that was because of the effect of the concealing barrier cast by Li Si, so it naturally could not block his sight.

Li Si finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the blood-red tower return to calm.

Today brought him too many surprises.

The originally imagined wizard tower of Ihalus did not appear, but instead an extremely evil blood-red tower appeared.

That was not a wizard's tower at all. Li Si felt that it was more like an evil altar for sacrificing lives!

How many lives were sacrificed to form the scarlet river of blood in that blood-red tower!

The reason why all the people in this small town turned into undead creatures is that they became sacrifices for the bloody tower?

Was it that Ihales who did it?

Li Si was a little undecided.

When Li Si saw the skinny figure in the bloody tower, he almost didn't react.

I thought it was also a corpse, just like the unknown strong man in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

But when the figure raised his head and looked at Li Si, the terrifying surge of magic power that followed made Li Si almost certain of the identity of the skinny figure.

The legendary necromancer Ihalus!

He is actually in this bloody tower!
The possibility of a second legendary wizard appearing in this small town was almost zero, so Li Si could be sure of his guess.

So he was also the one who attacked Li Si in the Golden Coconut Hotel before, but because his real body was not there, he did not chase Li Si, but continued to protect Zhuo?
But Li Si always felt something was wrong.

Especially the figure sitting on the throne in the blood pool. Li Si could feel the coldness and ruthlessness in the other's eyes, as if there was no rationality in him.

This doesn't seem like a legendary wizard who would create an entire city of the undead for a loved one.

Could it be that after so many years, Ihalus has completely lost his sanity?

Li Si was not sure, because he only took a quick glance and attracted the attack of the skinny figure.

But there is a problem with this place too.

If Li Si tested Zhuo at the Golden Coconut Inn because Ihalles still needed to protect Zhuo and therefore did not pursue Li Si, then why did Ihalles let him go so easily in this bloody tower?
You know, Ihalus is a powerful legendary wizard, not a legendary warrior.

Although Li Si's space teleportation was very fast, it could not completely escape the control of this legendary wizard.

Not to mention that in order to observe the situation of the blood-red tower, Li Si only teleported to the edge of the City Lord's Mansion and did not leave too far.

This distance is nothing for the legendary wizard, but Ihalus let Li Si go just like that.

The feeling that Ihalus in the blood-red tower gave to Li Si was just like those golem guards in the secret maze, which would only repel any adventurer who dared to approach.

After repelling or killing the adventurers and confirming that there are no enemies within the alert range, the golem guards will return to the place they are guarding.

If this is true, then was this a deliberate arrangement by that Ihalus?
Li Si shook his head. This guess could not be confirmed at all now.

He will definitely not return to the Scarlet Tower in a short time. Li Si doesn't dare to jump in front of a legendary necromancer who may have lost his mind and is much more powerful than [Fury of the Storm].

In addition to the skinny figure who is suspected to be the legendary wizard Ihalus, the bloody tower is also quite suspicious.

The blood-colored liquid shrouding the tower was most likely obtained at the cost of the lives of all the residents of the town.

This is not the point. After all, they are all dead, and Li Si is ready to face any tragedy.

But the faint aura of divine power contained in it surprised Li Si a little.

Could it be that the blood-colored tower is the place where sacrifices are made to some evil god, which is why it exudes the aura of divine power?

This seemed to be the most appropriate guess, but Li Si had never seen the emblem on the blood-red tower.

This was not the evil god he had in mind. Could it be some extremely low-key evil god, or some deceased evil god?
Li Si felt that this blood-red tower was not built by Ihales.

If Li Si's guess is true, then Zhuo is very likely to have lost his life in that sacrifice to the evil god.

Then what Ihalus did was inconsistent. Sacrificing his beloved to the evil god with his own hands?
Li Si felt that judging from the way Ihalus created this fantasy town, he would not do such a crazy thing.

Moreover, Li Si felt that the skinny figure, who was most likely Ihalus, could control the bloody tower, but it gave Li Si a feeling of being out of tune. The bloody tower gave Li Si a sense of extreme wildness and madness, but this feeling was not reflected in Ihalus.

In Li Si's opinion, it was more likely that Ihalus was also a latecomer and took control of the bloody tower.

Then a lot of things can be explained, especially regarding Zhuo’s matter.

Li Si took a quick glance from the top of the tower just now and discovered that above the bloody throne, there was an illusory light ball the size of a human head floating in the air, emitting a hazy colorful glow.

Chains composed of countless magic pattern arrays emerged from this illusory ball of light, dispersing in all directions and disappearing into the air, as if connected to some existence somewhere.

The moment he saw this illusory ball of light, Li Si knew that this should be the core of the illusion that enveloped the entire town.

It seems that Ihalus is using the power in this blood-red tower to maintain the operation of the illusion of the entire town?
Li Si felt that this guess should be true, but Yihales' choice made Li Si not know how to evaluate it.

It is unknown whether the power gathered from the sacrifice of an entire city's residents formed this bloody tower, which was then used by Ihalus to construct an illusion, transforming the residents into undead beings so that they could continue to exist.

Li Si didn't know what those residents were thinking, but he certainly would not accept such a life.

Even if you can have eternal life in this way, what is the point?
However, Li Si really wanted to get the core of the illusion.

After thoroughly mastering the legendary hidden magic circle set up by Ihalles, Li Si was able to feel that the core of the illusion contained all the knowledge and magic pattern arrays mastered by Ihalles.

If he could obtain this illusion core, Li Si would be able to master all of Ihalles' research on illusion magic.

However, the core of the illusion is located on the throne. Li Si has to think twice before approaching the bloody tower again, let alone approaching the throne where Ihalus is.

and many more!

throne?

Li Si's face changed and he suddenly remembered something.

When he was observing the interior of the bloody tower, he vaguely saw the pattern of an unsheathed sword on the back of the throne.

"No way"

Li Si's face looked a little strange. He jumped down from the eaves and walked towards the interior of the City Lord's Mansion.

Arriving at the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Li Si once again looked at the white bones sitting on the throne in front of him.

“Is that so?”

Golden Coconut Hotel,

Taya was lying on the bed in the room, yawning, wearing thin white pajamas and with sleepy eyes.

She had nothing to do these days, and although she often went shopping with Juou, she couldn't go out every day.

Juo still had to stay in the store to help, even though old Milo had asked her to relax and spend more time with Taya.

Taya did not force it, but followed her friend's wishes.

She could feel that Zhuo was a very simple-minded person and didn't think about anything else at all.

While Zhuo was helping out in the store, Li Si also stayed in the City Lord's Mansion for a long time studying hidden magic circles. Taiya had nothing else to do, so he thought of practicing with his sword in the backyard of the hotel.

All I can say is that Taiya's outstanding appearance and heroic temperament are so attractive. Even though it can be seen that Taiya seems to be very strong, there are still many people who don't know the consequences and intend to come up and chat with her.

Taya ignored them and casually "sent" these people back. After a few times, no one dared to offend them again.

After learning about this, Old Milo looked at Taya with a somewhat strange look, while Juo was a little envious.

Although no one will come to harass her, if she can become as strong as Taya, can she leave with Kazeri?
So, Zhuo also wanted to learn from Taya.

Naturally, Taiya did not refuse and helped Zhuo with some basic training in the past few days.

Zhuo's performance is impressive. He has persisted in some connections that are difficult for ordinary people to accept.

Although this may be related to the special characteristics of Zhuo's body, it also shows the mental tenacity of this little girl, otherwise she would not be able to endure this hardship.

Taiya and Zhuo had just finished their training, washed off the sweat on their bodies, and returned to the room to take a rest.

At this time, Li Si pushed open the door and walked in.

Taiya saw that Li Si suddenly became energetic and all his sleepiness disappeared.

Looking at the sky outside the window, Taiya asked curiously:

"Why is it so early today?"

"Have you already completed the analysis of that magic circle, Li Si?"

Yesterday Li Si told her that he didn’t know how long it would take, but didn’t expect it to be completed so quickly?

"Indeed it is."

"But the things hidden by that concealment array are indeed beyond my expectations."

Li Si nodded, and then told Taiya everything about the bloody tower.

"Legendary Mage, Li Si, you are not injured, right?"

When Taiya heard that the blood-red tower might have gathered the lives of the entire town's residents, his face turned pale, but he was still most concerned about Li Si's safety.

"It's okay. I think His Majesty Ihalus is in a bit abnormal condition."

Li Si touched Taiya's head and comforted her.

"What happens after that?"

Taya looked at Li Si. Li Si had previously planned to see if the clue to breaking through the seven-day cycle was hidden behind a hidden magic circle.

This is the fact. As long as the core of the illusion is shattered, the seven-day cycle of the illusion will naturally end.

But that is not what Li Si and Taya can do now.

There was only one way left.
