In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 364: Runes and Sneak Attack
And with the disaster caused by Altos's mistake millions of years ago, the glorious civilization of the Antuwach people was wiped out, leaving behind only a dilapidated ruin and a relatively intact tower in the center.

"This thing looks like a street lamp. Does the rune on the top mean light?"

Qingshui looked at a section of pole still standing on the side of the ruined street, staring at the rune on top of it.

"Not only that, in addition to lighting, it should also have the functions of photography, storage, and radio transmission."

Tony took down several other street lamps with similar runes, scanned the images on them, then stretched out his fingers and used magic to carve on one of the street lamps.

These runes are more or less incomplete, and we have to integrate the runes on these street lamps to analyze their original appearance.

"Weng~"

With a slight sound, the stone on the street lamp engraved with runes glowed slightly, absorbing the energy floating in the air and starting to work again after millions of years.

Tony took down the rune stone, looked at it for a while, turned it over, and input a stream of magic power to guide the energy within it.

Soon, the rune stone projected a picture in the air like a holographic projection device.

Humanoid creatures with blue skin and pointed heads wearing various clothes walked on this street.

At that time, the street was clean and tidy, and there were various robots on the road acting as traffic police to guide people.

Flying vehicles that look a bit like cars and are suspended dozens of centimeters above the ground are driving on the road. In the sky, there are subways that have no tracks but can still float accurately in the air.

Maybe it would be more appropriate to call it Skytrain.

On both sides, various rune lights flashed in neon colors, with unknown words shining on them.

Tony fiddled with it some more and soon found a hidden switch in another location on the rune that could move the back of the rune away.

There is also a rune in here.

Fortunately, the rune is still intact.

As the rune inside lit up, the projected pattern also emitted the noisy sounds on the street at that time.

The prosperous scene of the main city of Antuwahe a million years ago was suddenly reproduced in front of Qingshui and Tony.

Qingshui has some interest in these runes, but he is more interested in the Book of Altos.

You know, it’s not only him who wants that book now, but also Doctor Doom!

"These things should all be covered in the Book of Altos, right? Isn't it said that the book represents the pinnacle of rune magic? Let's not waste our time here."

Shimizu squatted down next to Tony and spoke.

"Don't worry. Don't you see that tower? According to records from a million years ago, that was Altos's residence, the Altos Tower. Even the disaster a million years ago did not destroy it. As long as the rune magic shield on its surface does not disappear, Doom and the others will not be able to get in.

If you want to unlock the rune magic shield, unless you are stronger than Altos in the past, you can't break it. Only if you have a certain understanding of rune magic can you analyze the weaknesses of this magic shield and break it."

Tony stood up and pointed at the tower in the distance.

However, as soon as he pointed, the protective shield outside the tower suddenly disappeared.

"You're so amazing? After studying a few runes, you can break this magic shield with just one finger?"

Shimizu and Tony looked at each other, then ran away.

Damn, how come Doctor Doom is so fast!
It didn't take long for Shimizu and Tony to reach the vicinity of the tower using the teleportation aperture.

"It's fine here. If we get any closer, Doom will notice the energy fluctuations."

About a thousand meters away from the tower, Tony said to Qingshui who walked out of the light circle.

"They have already gone in. There are four rune giants representing earth, wind, fire and water blocking the door. Doom went up by himself!"

Qingshui looked at the tall tower in the distance and said to Tony.

"Your perception ability is stronger than Doom's? Very good, now that we know the situation, we can launch an attack. In this way, you sneak attack Aowei, she is relatively weak, so it will be easier to attack her. Then I will take the opportunity to sneak up, and you just help me stop Doom's men."

Tony thought for a second or two, then sent a telepathic message to Qingshui.

Although it can be judged that Qingshui's fighting ability is not too bad, and the Lockroades Net just now is also an outstanding magical weapon with considerable power, the enemy is Doom after all.

Doctor Doom is a man who is proficient in both magic and technology, has a very high IQ, and uses methods so strange that anyone who sees him would find it extremely difficult to deal with.

Stark himself has fought with him many times and has the strength to compete with him, but he does not have a clear enough concept of Shimizu's fighting ability, so he made this choice.

Ancient One must be quite capable since he dared to let them out without any hesitation. It shouldn't be a big problem to delay Doom's men.

After all, he has a set of high-tech armor, keen perception and an excellent magic weapon, so at least he has no problem protecting himself.

"Okay, I'll join you after I finish dealing with those minions."

Shimizu made an OK gesture to Tony.

Half a minute later.

Qingshui restrained his breath, covered his body in the concealment magic cast by Tony, and quietly entered the tower.

The first floor of this giant tower appears extremely empty and is dozens of meters high.

In the center, there is a huge spiral staircase connecting the upper floors.

In the space below, four giants, each more than ten meters tall, were venting their anger wantonly.

The sand was surging and the hurricane was raging.

The surging sandstorm was dispersed and quickly condensed into a huge human face.

"Quentin! Don't lure the wind elemental monster here!"

"I know! But this thing has no substance, I can't hit it, I can only use illusion to trick him!"

The figure of a mysterious man covered in green light appeared in the air. The next moment, his figure was shattered by a giant hand transformed from a strong wind.

This is an illusion.

"It's okay, one has already been solved."

The water elemental giant fell to the ground with a loud bang, turning into a puddle of water.

The Wanderer, wearing cool black armor, emerged from the shadows on the ground, holding a rune stone that glowed with blue light in his hand.

"It seems that I was right. No matter how powerful these monsters are, and they have the ability to absorb external energy to supply themselves, they must have at least one energy core."

The female Doctor Octopus said calmly.

Eight mechanical tentacles moved quickly on the wall, holding up magic shields or waving weapons formed by magic power to block the attacks from the fire elemental giant.

Suddenly, a golden teleportation halo appeared behind her without warning.

A sharp sword light rushed straight towards his neck.

The latter's reaction was quite fast. Even though the mechanical tentacle holding the magic shield was blocking the attack of the fire giant, he also placed another mechanical tentacle across his body to protect himself.

However, the blade of this sword is made of vibranium.

The sword only paused for a moment before it smoothly cut through the entire mechanical arm, slicing through the body of the female Doctor Octopus like a hot knife through butter. But there was still a little bit of reaction time for the female Doctor Octopus to avoid the vital part.

A bloody arm fell to the ground, followed by another sword.

"Breathing of Li·Seventh Form·Mirror of Liyuan."

It was like a blue round sun rising up and then shattering with a loud bang.

The high-tech tentacles and magical weapons on the female Doctor Octopus' body shattered instantly, and she fell to the ground, covering her neck.

The fire giant that was originally entangled with him now had one arm within Qingshui's attack range and exploded with a loud bang.

And farther away, Tony Stark's figure suddenly appeared from the void, and threw a snowflake-shaped ice crystal from his hand, hitting the Sandman.

A cold wave suddenly erupted with snowflake ice crystals as the core, freezing the sand man and the earth elemental giant together.

This is a one-time magic weapon, the Tears of Yugidoma, which contains powerful ice and snow energy.

This is a multiverse demon who controls the ice and snow dimension and is considered by the Frost Giants to be their ancestor.

"what's the situation!"

Affected by the ice and snow cold wave, Mysterio had to pull himself out of the illusion and flee to the side.

"Obviously an enemy!"

Compared to Quentin Mysterio, who started out as a Hollywood special effects artist, the Prowler, who started out as a gang fighter, has more combat experience and quicker reactions. He has already rushed in front of Tony and swung his claws.

The latter's iron armor condensed into a shield in front of him like flowing water, blocking the attack while using the force to fly upwards.

A hurricane emerged, and the wind elemental giant who served as the guardian of the tower rushed towards Tony with a roar, but was met with another gust of wind.

"Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!"

"Watum's Wind!"

The wind was blowing fiercely, and Qingshui had already avoided the fire giant and held on to the wind elemental giant.

The combination of wind-style ninjutsu and wind-attribute magic exerted tremendous power at this moment. Even the elves born in the wind through runes were forced to retreat at this moment.

With the impact of air currents, Tony's speed was now faster than before, and he rushed up smoothly.

"Dang~!"

The sound of metal clashing was heard, and the vibranium blade collided with the sharp claw.

But it was the figure of the Prowler who emerged from the shadows and attacked Qingshui.

Qingshui stood there motionless, but the latter retreated violently, so fast that even Qingshui couldn't catch him.

In terms of strength, Shimizu crushed the Wanderer with the energy of chakra and the armor's Ark reactor.

However, the claws in its hand were not damaged at all after fighting with the vibranium blade, which means that they were either made of vibranium or other extraordinary metals that were no less powerful than vibranium.

This thing may be able to break the defense of your armor, so you must be vigilant.

"Bosat's Thunder!"

The surging purple electric current shot out from the arms of the armor and, under Qingshui's control, exploded in all directions.

Because he realized that he might have made a wrong decision before.

Fight wind with wind.

The roaring wind had dissipated.

In just the short time that Shimizu was dealing with the Wanderer, the wind giant not only broke through Shimizu's ninjutsu and magic, but also swallowed it up, and its body swelled up like a filled balloon.

The reason why Bossat's Thunder is used is because thunder does not belong to the four elements of earth, wind, fire and water, at least there is no direct connection.

However, the wind elemental giant becoming stronger is not the worst thing.

Perhaps because Mysterio lacked the means to deal with such creatures, the illusion magic was unable to stop the explosion of the fire giant below, causing it to break through all illusions and merge with the wind elemental giant.

The wind fueled the fire, and even more turbulent high temperatures and air waves appeared. In Qingshui's perception, when these two things were combined, their strength increased by nearly twice!
These two can be combined, but what about the other two?
Taking advantage of the opportunity to release the Thunder of Bossat, Qingshui quickly assessed the situation on the field.

The Earth Elemental Giant and the Sand Man are now sealed in solid ice.

This ice comes from the lord of the ice and snow dimension. Theoretically, there is nothing that cannot be frozen by it. It is difficult for sand people and earth elemental giants to break through this layer of ice. Outsiders cannot break it in a short time without sufficient strength.

So these two don't have to worry.

Doctor Octopus is dead, and Mysterio's illusion magic, which is similar to that of Loki, is restrained by his own transparent world and the magical weapon, the Eye of All Things. He also lacks strong enough means of attack and cannot break through his own defense in a short period of time. He is just a supporting role in this team.

Instead, it is the wanderer.

He possesses a weapon that can break his own defense, is decisive, experienced, and has a rune core representing a water elemental giant.

But if that's the case...

Qingshui watched as the wind and fire giant rushed madly towards a shadow somewhere.

In the vision of the Eye of All Things, Qingshui could clearly see the wanderer hiding in the shadows running away like crazy.

"Stone! Runestone! Aaron!"

When the mysterious man saw this scene, he immediately understood something and started shouting.

But in the next moment, his body suddenly froze.

Magic chains shining with blue light bound his body.

"The Chain of Krakan."

Qingshui's figure quietly appeared behind the mysterious man, holding the other end of the chain in one hand.

"you……"

Mysterio looked up in surprise and found that the electric armor was still floating in the air.

Tune the tiger away from the mountain!

Qingshui's attainments in illusion techniques are not very high, but with the support of his outstanding mental strength and psychic abilities, the effects are not bad.

Combined with the Transparent World's ability to converge the entire body's aura, the effect is exceptionally good at this moment.

Of course, this is also because Mysterio is too confident in his ability in the realm of illusion and over-trusts his own means of concealment.

He didn't expect that the silver monocle on Qingshui's face had the ability to see through illusions, which led to his misfortune.

"Kacha!"

As the Chain of Krakan became tighter and tighter, even with the protection of the battle suit, Mysterio's body and neck began to make noises one after another, and finally lost their voice.
