Chapter 278: Castle in the Sky
Sauta crouched down, his sharp horns aimed at Liang Yue, and charged.

Faced with Sauta's tactics, Liang Yue chose to confront him head-on.

Since the other party is a guardian, it doesn't seem appropriate to just kill them.

Thinking of this, Liang Yue concentrated the Selfless Sword Qi in her right hand and then smashed it down on the head of the rapidly approaching Sauta.

A sharp shockwave of sword energy erupted from Liang Yue's fist, and this attack collided with the opponent's bull horns.

After that, Sauta felt dizzy and then its figure flew up.

Despite being six or seven meters tall, it was defeated by humans in its most formidable area: wrestling.

Sauta was blown into the air by the massive impact, then slammed hard onto the ground, seeing stars.

It gasped for breath on the ground for several seconds before finally managing to stand up.

"Perhaps this time, you humans are worthy of trust."

After defeating Sauta, Sauta naturally followed Celia's advice.

Therefore, Sauta ordered his people not to make things difficult for Liang Yue and the others, nor to leave the forest to attack humans.

Afterwards, Liang Yue and her companion arrived at Blazing Gracka.

The forest here is ablaze, but many monsters can still be seen here.

For example, monsters like the Flame Goblin, and any monsters blocking Liang Yue's path were all instantly killed by him.

After spending a little time, Liang Yue and her companion met Pinochet.

This was a black-haired woman wearing a red robe. Her gaze swept over Liang Yue and the other woman: "Didn't Sauta stop you?"

Compared to her sister, Pinochet was clearly much more lucid at this moment.

Liang Yue observed the surrounding flames and then he realized that these flames were just burning, but they were not spreading outwards.

_x0010_ is more like using flames to condense a wall, blocking or sealing something.

Celia stepped closer, "Pinoshu, what happened? We'll do everything we can to help you!"

"You can't help me! Go back to town, staying here will only lead to being consumed by the flames."

Liang Yue stood in front of Celia, "Do you think we are too weak right now, and that telling us won't help?"

But you've forgotten one thing: if the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, you simply can't discern the opponent's strength.

Pinochet sneered, "Speaking nonsense!"

She immediately gathered her magic power and began to cast a spell, and a fiery meteor fell from the sky, hurtling towards Liang Yue's location.

It was a rock about ten meters in diameter, which was wreathed in flames as it fell.

Liang Yue drew her sword, and its sharp sword energy struck the meteorite in the sky.

The meteorite was then instantly reduced to dust by this attack.

After the smoke cleared, Pinocheau seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. "It seems I can tell you now."

Someone tampered with the grand magic circle and attempted to recreate the tragedy caused by the fire of Loran ten years ago.

I must use flames to stop what's inside!

Celia looked at Pinochus earnestly, "Pinochus, please open a gap in the flames."

"Leave this to me, Mr. Liang Yue, Pinochet, you two wait for me outside."

Hearing that Celia wanted to handle this matter alone, how could Liang Yue possibly agree?

Celia may know some magic, but it's clear that her opponent's combat ability is very poor.

He naturally wouldn't let the other party take any risks.

So Liang Yue and Celia arrived at the other side of the flames, the Dark Thunder Ruins.

The spirits that perished here have transformed into withered spirits of the jungle.

The surrounding environment has also changed significantly.

Behind him was a raging fire, while in front of him lay a dark forest and jungle spirits emerging from the grass and dead trees.

These withered spirits were like skeletons that had just crawled out of a graveyard, their movements stiff and their hissing.

Celia's face paled when she saw these hideous, withered spirits.

It's simply because these withered spirits look so terrifying.

Liang Yue continued to stand in front of Celia, slaying all the withered spirits in the nearby jungle.

Besides the withered spirits that look like a fusion of tree spirits and skeletons, the monsters here also include man-eating plants, goblins, and other monsters.

Guided by Celia, Liang Yue and the others discovered the leader of these jungle withered spirits, the Hungry Withered Spirit.

This is a withered spirit with a crimson body, capable of unleashing ranged dark magic attacks.

Afterwards, a large number of withered spirits approached Liang Yue, and he dealt with them all.

Celia examined the dead, withered spirits, then frowned and looked at Liang Yue: "Mr. Liang Yue, I suspect that the anomalies here are all due to a problem with the large magic circle in the center of the forest."

Liang Yue looked at Celia, "So what is the Great Magic Circle?"

He had been exposed to the world of Arad for a long time. However, his understanding of the storyline of Arad was only superficial.

What players are more familiar with are the classes and skills that they can control.

"Mr. Liang Yue, do you know the Great Magician Mar? He is a legendary Great Magician. In order to protect Arad, he set up large magic circles all over the world."

"Thanks to him, Arad is able to have a bountiful natural environment..."

Through Celia's explanation, Liang Yue learned that the Empire had destroyed the Grand Magic Array of the Grand Forest and burned the forest down...

As a result, many monsters and humans lost their lives.

The elves then made a great sacrifice to repair the great magic circle.

Liang Yue and Celia continued walking while chatting. "It seems we can only find out what happened here by continuing our investigation."

Celia followed Liang Yue, "Yes, now we'd better go to the magic circle in the center of the forest to see the specific situation."

If there's any damage, I'll try to see if I can repair it.

So Liang Yue led Celia onward, slaying all the monsters that attacked them along the way.

Unlike the dungeons in Danmaku, the monsters here leave their corpses behind after they die.

Celia still felt somewhat uncomfortable seeing these corpses, but she tried her best to avoid affecting Liang Yue.

Not long after, Liang Yue and her companion saw a demon holding a staff.

"Is that a tomb monster?"

Celia saw it busy at the large magic circle in the center of the forest and instinctively sensed something was wrong.

A flash of light appeared, and the overflowing magic power condensed into a new magic circle around the tomb monster.

Then hundreds and thousands of jungle spirits appeared from the magic circle and rushed towards Liang Yue.

Meanwhile, the magic circle continued to summon monsters...

"Mr. Liang Yue, can you solve this? If not, then let me sacrifice myself to solve all of this!"

Celia looked like she was about to die a heroic death, but then Liang Yue pulled her back again.

"Hey, don't think you can do everything yourself!"

As Liang Yue watched the monsters swarming towards him like a tide, he swung his blade. A sword aura, a blend of raging fire and lightning, rained down on the demons like a dense fishing net.

The four-figure number of Jungle Spirits were easily killed by Liang Yue's ranged sword energy.

Like a blade slicing through thin paper, those withered forest spirits were completely cut open and lost their life force the moment they were touched...

A dazzling sword aura struck the tomb monster, cleaving it in two at the waist.

Just three seconds later, the tomb monster's body flashed with light, and its two halves were restored.

It whispered, "No matter the sacrifice, the Great Magic Circle must be repaired."

Celia called out to Liang Yue, "Liang Yue, I feel like I can repair and purify this magic circle."

"Okay, leave the safety to me!"

Seeing Celia begin to close her eyes and chant a spell, Liang Yue stayed beside her.

After seeing the monster in the tomb revive, Liang Yue unleashed another ranged sword aura, killing it.

Not only that, this guy is also continuing to create jungle withered spirits by relying on the power of the great magic circle.

Although Liang Yue could kill all the summoned withered spirits, the constant resurrection and creation of these small monsters by the opponent was indeed quite disgusting.

Of course, Liang Yue could accept the status quo because of the experience point rewards.

Currently, all hope depends on Celia's magic; Liang Yue herself has no way to repair and purify the magic circle.

After Celia completely purified the magic circle, the tomb monsters disappeared, leaving only an elven necklace on the ground.

"Is this an elven necklace?"

Celia walked toward the necklace on the ground, but Liang Yue immediately pulled Celia back.

On the ground where the necklace was located, a dark shadow rapidly expanded.

Then several enormous withered spirits emerged from the shadows and pounced towards Liang Yue and Celia.

Just as Liang Yue was about to swing her knife to attack, she noticed the scorching meteorite appearing above her head.

Another earth-shaking figure approached.

It turned out that Pinochet and Sauta had also arrived at that moment.

Meteorites falling from the sky, along with Sauta's battle axe, dealt with these gigantic jungle ghouls.

Then Pinochet used his magic wand to burn the shadows on the ground. "It seems the shadows in the forest have finally been dealt with."

This puddle on the ground is somewhat like a contagious disease, capable of resurrecting the dead. This is different from the shadows of the forest.

The shadow of the forest is a phenomenon of shifting...

Celia began to explain to Pinoshu and the other person what had happened between Liang Yue and her.

Listening to Celia's story, Pinochue looked at her curiously, "Why can you purify a necklace created by an elf?"

Celia nodded.

So Pinochet thought for a moment and said, “Ceria, perhaps you should go and look at the great magic circles in various places. Only you can do this.”

After Pinochius and Sauta left, Celia came to Liang Yue's side:

"I thought I would be happy after resolving all of this, but for some reason, I can't be happy."

Is it because we have to part ways?
But you have your own adventures to pursue, and I'm very happy to have spent this time with you..."

Looking at Celia's smile, Liang Yue sighed inwardly.

As expected of a day filled with 80,000. As long as I continue to interact with Celia, I guess I'll be able to fill up with 80,000 every day.

But there's nothing wrong with that.

Adventures in the world of Arad inherently have a higher ceiling and more possibilities.

Liang Yue and Celia returned to the Elvin defense line together.

Linus picked up the elven necklace and examined it. "There's Elven language on it!"

Celia also leaned closer, "Bone Prison Breath, this is the meaning of the words on the necklace..."

Based on her previous experiences, Liang Yue gradually came to understand everything.

It was clear that the elf named Bone Prison Breath had been resurrected by the transferred infectious disease.

Even after being resurrected, Bone Prison Breath remained steadfast in doing the last thing he did before his death—repairing the Great Magic Circle!
It was unaware that it had been infected, and its actions only continued to damage the grand magic circle...

The infectious diseases in the world of Arad are not ordinary colds. For example, the curse of the Ghost Hand, Kazan Syndrome, is also an infectious disease.

Anything that can cause abnormalities and can continue to spread can be called an infectious disease.

Celia then realized, "Huh, I actually know Elvish. I suddenly recognized the words as soon as I saw them."

Liang Yue thought for a moment, "Perhaps you have some connection with the Elven race."

Linus looked at Celia, "You're going to inspect the large magic circle floating in the sky? That's incredibly difficult. Have you thought about how you're going to do it?"

Celia nodded. "I want to go to the Sky City! Pinoshu told me that a Sky City had just appeared on the west coast of Huttonmar..."

After a long adventure, Celia is now extremely tired.

After Celia rested, Linus called Liang Yue over.

"Liang Yue, Celia is willing to do anything to protect our destiny. I hope you can accompany her on this adventure."

"As long as you're willing to spend as much time as possible with her, that's fine."

Liang Yue nodded. If they were truly going to embark on an adventure in this world, Celia would indeed be an extremely helpful companion.

In many situations, having Celia saved Liang Yue a lot of trouble.

He only possessed some martial prowess, and there were many areas where he lacked skill. Celia, on the other hand, was perfectly positioned to fill those gaps in his abilities.

Liang Yue patiently stayed near Celia's room, squinting her eyes.

He then sensed a change in the surroundings and opened his eyes to see Celia sneaking out of the room.

"Let's go, I also want to visit Sky City."

"Really? Yeah!"

Celia excitedly picked up the packed package and then wrapped her arms around Liang Yue's shoulders.

Just then, she suddenly felt something was hurting her feet in her shoes. So she took out a hastily written note and two passes from her shoes.

"I think you need a pass."

This is what the note said. Seeing the familiar handwriting, Celia's eyes reddened.

The girl looked at Liang Yue and said, "Uncle Linus always takes such good care of me. Let's go together and start our unknown adventure."

"it is good!"

Celia secretly led Liang Yue to Linus's room and slipped a note under the door.

Afterwards, Liang Yue and her companion arrived at Huttonmar along the highway and the teleportation array.

On the way from the Elvin Line to Huttonmar, Liang Yue noticed that the citizens and soldiers there were all very tense.

Clearly, this is all because of the sudden appearance of the Sky City. The sudden appearance of this legendary existence naturally makes the important figures nervous.

Ordinary citizens, however, were worried that the monsters from Sky City would attack human nations, and thus became anxious...
