Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 96 Live and die together with Miss Elf!
The moment the research institute rose from the ground, it seemed as if the entire time and space had stopped.

The air around the institute made a sharp whistling sound due to the intense friction.

Windsardler looked at the horrifying scene before him, slightly parted his red lips, and asked in a doubtful tone:

"what 's wrong?"

Cohen's eyes were filled with thought.

Could it be that it was Windsardler’s elven royal blood that caused the Nightmare Mist to bring them here?

No, there must be another reason.

He suppressed his thoughts and answered Windsardler's question:
“Obviously, it went up.

Such a sight is rare. Your Excellency the Special Envoy's trip to the Northwest Continent was definitely not in vain."

After a while, Cohen suddenly reminded me without thinking:
"Oh, yes. Try not to use your supernatural powers later. This is an illusion created by the Nightmare Mist. You won't really die."

Windsardler stared blankly at the research institute disappearing into the sky and asked:
"Why should I use my supernatural powers? Will there be any danger in a while?"

Cohen looked up at the sky and saw a red dot looming, followed by a roar even louder than before that reached his ears.

He said as a matter of course:
"If you rise to the sky, you will naturally fall down!"

Windsardler didn't have time to react to the meaning of Cohen's words.

The huge monster fell again at a desperate speed.

Under the relentless pull of gravity, the powerful friction has ignited the surrounding air.

The research institute that covered the sky and the sun was bathed in orange-red flames, like a falling meteor, rushing to the ground with a breath of destruction.

Windsardler finally reacted and was shocked.

He instinctively summoned the wings behind him and escaped from here.

Cohen's voice sounded in time:
“Believe me, this is just an illusion, you won’t really die.

Don't be afraid, don't use your supernatural powers, otherwise it will be even harder later!"

Windsardler's expression froze, and he instantly fell into rapid thought.

In the end, Cohen's performance along the way made Miss Winged Elf choose to trust him once.

However, the immersive, earth-shattering scene still made her tremble with fear.

Cohen remained calm, his eyes sharp as he stared at the falling research institute.

He wanted to see clearly what was happening in there!
The scorching temperature and the overwhelming pressure made it difficult to stand.

With a deafening roar that shook the earth, the whole world was shrouded in blood and fire.

……

Windsardler opened his eyes again, his heart still beating violently.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I found out that I was still alive.

But soon, she discovered something strange.

He was still wearing a white coat and a protective mask.

Suddenly looking up, I saw the towering research institute standing before me intact.

A huge sense of unreality filled her mind.

As if unwilling to admit it, she focused her gaze towards the research institute.

A female researcher spilled coffee on a short, fat man!
Several men in purple uniforms who looked like leaders gathered by the window and talked about something!
There were also many security personnel in yellow uniforms constantly gathering towards a room in the center.

Everything is exactly the same as before, every detail is correct!

Miss Elf felt goose bumps all over her body and her breathing stopped.

At this moment, Cohen's voice sounded from behind her:

“It’s clear that this is a cycle.

I just checked the time and date.

We should have been brought by the nightmare fog to the time before the destruction of the research institute.

Nightmare Mist simulated the identities of two low-level researchers for us based on our aura.

As long as both of us die, the cycle will continue.

I just made a rough estimate since we appeared here.

It took about five minutes to reach the research institute and start ascending."

Windsardelle turned around, and Cohen's presence made her feel inexplicably at ease.

In such a strange environment, it is definitely a blessing to have someone who can always calmly analyze the situation.

She suddenly felt like she had found her backbone and asked quickly:

“So what should we do?
Do I have to endure this near-death experience five more times?"

There was a hint of uneasiness in Windsardler's eyes.

She really didn't want to experience this intense fear of dying again.

Cohen grabbed Windsardler and said:
"I don't have time to explain it to you in detail. Let's talk as we walk."

The series of strange scenes had a great impact on Miss Winged Elf's mind.

In this unknown fear, she could only choose to believe Cohen.

Soon, Cohen pulled Windsardler to the bottom of the institute's gate.

He gestured for her to take out a white card from her pocket. The two of them swiped the cards towards the door, and two white circles of light appeared before their eyes.

Cohen explained as he walked:

“We will indeed experience similar situations five more times.

I can only tell you that this is a test of your willpower.

I believe that after emerging from the Nightmare Mist, your legendary attributes will experience a significant increase."

Cohen's words immediately made Windsardler's face look much better.

He continued:
“Besides, you are choosing to wait for death down there in vain.

Or do you want to come with me to visit this great human civilization from thousands of years ago?"

Windsardler immediately understood Cohen's words, and the adventurous spirit in his bones gradually overcame his fear.

She broke free from Cohen's hand and regained her composure:

"I see. How long do we have?"

The two stepped into the light circle, their figures disappeared, and they entered the interior of the research institute.

Cohen said:

"Three minutes. If you move faster next time, there should be more time left."

Windsordler quickly asked:
"This institute is so big. Do you know where the most valuable part is?"

Cohen walked straight inside with Windsordler:
"The most valuable is definitely the core research laboratory, which is where they study the ancient elven civilization.

But we have white cards, so we don’t have enough authority, so we might have to force our way in.”

Windsardler instantly gained confidence and said:

"Leave this matter to me. I just took a quick look and there aren't any high-level transcendents here."

Cohen quickly said:

“You can take action, but try not to use your supernatural powers.

There is a rule in the illusion of Nightmare Mist, once the extraordinary power is used.

Your extraordinary power will be absorbed by the nightmare fog, forming an even more powerful illusion.

The specific manifestation is that when you enter the institute again, the lowest level of everyone is the level you show after using your extraordinary power.

You don't want to face an entire institute of gold-level experts in the next cycle, do you? "

Windsardler's face froze, and he said:
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Cohen said helplessly:
“It’s not too late to tell you now. If you encounter any situation, you can use your golden body to subdue them.

But be careful, the power of the Arcane Empire cannot be underestimated. I doubt they possess weapons capable of subduing high-level transcendents."

The two of them shuttled quickly through the huge building, and soon, Cohen stopped in front of a dark blue door.

Windsardler frowned and asked:

"Are you here? So soon?"

Cohen suppressed the excitement in his eyes and shook his head.

“To reach the core location of the research institute, one has to pass through many teleportation arrays.

A complete magic array star map is required to find the exact address.

I just observed it outside, and there is one in here.

However, there are several security personnel in the room. You will be responsible for leading them away later."

There was a hint of regret in Cohen's eyes. It was a pity that this was an illusion simulated by the nightmare fog.

Cannot use Into Shadows.

Because "escaping into the shadows" is essentially entering a secondary plane.

Once you enter the shadow plane and leave the main plane, it is equivalent to coming out directly from the illusion.

Otherwise, there would be no need to go to such great lengths to persuade Miss Elf to come with her. Windsordler's face suddenly darkened, and he said:
"So you brought me along to use me as bait?
I am the special envoy of Her Majesty the Empress!"

Cohen replied calmly:
"Sister, this is a win-win cooperation.

I'm only a bronze player. How many attacks do you think my small body can withstand from them?
What's more, you don't know where the star map is.

Your Excellency, please rest assured that if I find something valuable, I will definitely not keep it all to myself."

Windsardler snorted coldly.

Cohen urged Windsardler with his eyes.

Windsardler was not vague and kicked the door open.

Seeing this, Cohen quickly hid far away and pretended to be a passerby.

Although he cannot use extraordinary powers, his golden body is still genuine.

Windsordale kicked the door to pieces.

Several security guards in yellow uniforms in the room saw a low-level researcher kicking open their door aggressively, and a moment of confusion appeared on their faces.

Windsardelle blurted out provocative words:

"A bunch of useless men who only know how to hide behind women and let a woman rush in front to fight for her life.

I hate men like you the most, come out and fight me."

Cohen felt that the elf lady was talking to him.

Anger instantly appeared on the faces of several security personnel. They pulled out a weapon similar to a pistol from their arms and rushed towards Windsardler.

Windsardler sneered and ran outside.

One minute left!

After the security personnel were led away, Cohen rushed directly into the room.

After searching inside for a while, he finally found a star map of the formation that was shining with a faint blue light.

Looking at the intact star map, memories of his past life surfaced in Cohen's mind:

【Task name: Find the damaged formation star map.

Mission Reward: 1000 Experience Points

Mission location: Inside the abandoned blue door of the ancient civilization site of "Star Valley".

Cohen never expected that an ordinary lost object quest in his previous life would actually provide him with such great help today!
A place for studying the ancient civilization of the ancient elves.

That was all Cohen's way of fooling Windsordale.

Those ancient civilizations are indeed valuable, but they are definitely heavily guarded and definitely guarded by saint-level people.

There's no way they could get in alone.

Cohen has only one purpose in searching for the star map, he wants to find the control center of the space array that covers the entire research institute!

Cohen remembered that the thing that could control this space array was a semi-artifact!

The star map of the previous life was impacted by the fall of the research institute and was not preserved completely.

Most of the key information has been lost, and even the players cannot find this semi-artifact.

It’s different now. He was actually brought by the nightmare fog to five minutes before the destruction of the research institute!
Then there is still a chance!

Cohen quickly opened the star map and looked through it on the spot.

However, before I could take a few glances, the piercing scream that almost pierced my eardrums during the first loop came from underground.

Immediately afterwards, Cohen felt a huge force pulling his body downwards, and he fell to the ground in an instant.

It was as if a pair of invisible giant hands were holding the person down, and the body became extremely heavy.

At the same time, the scene outside the window began to fall rapidly!

Five minutes are up, the research institute is ascending to heaven!

Cohen forced himself to hold back his body, which was about to fall apart, and raised his head with difficulty to look at the star map.

Every movement felt like struggling in thick mud.

His eyes wandered over the star map, and finally, he found the control center of the magic circle, which was where the semi-artifact was!
However, before he could get excited for long, the growth rate of the entire research institute suddenly stopped.

Cohen suddenly felt his head buzzing and the blood seemed to be rushing up.

My thinking also became confused.

boom!
Cohen fainted due to the strong feeling of weightlessness.

……

"call!"

When he opened his eyes again, Windsardler had turned his head and was looking at him.

Miss Winged Elf's beautiful face was filled with anger:

"What are those pistols they're holding?

Why can't even my golden body withstand it?"

Windsordel rubbed his arm unhappily, as if he had been seriously injured there.

Cohen smiled apologetically:
“I heard that the Arcane Empire combined technology with the supernatural to create a very powerful magic cannon.

A single strike from him is equivalent to a Gold Rank attack. Just be careful next time and don't use your body to withstand it."

Seeing that the other party wanted to continue speaking, Cohen hurriedly urged:

"Let's go quickly. Don't waste time. I already know where the research lab that studies the heritage of ancient elven civilization is."

This was naturally another attempt to fool Windsardler.

Cohen had a hard time even finding the location of the array's control center, so he didn't have time to look for a research lab.

The path he led was to where the control center was located.

Although he already knew where the thing was, he still didn't know how to drive the semi-artifact.

He had to find a way to capture a living person and force him to tell him how to drive this semi-artifact.

However, a semi-artifact, although not as important as the ancient civilization research laboratory of the elves, will be guarded by a saint.

At least there will be legendary guards.

Even if the two of them didn't consider the next cycle and used their extraordinary powers recklessly, they would never be able to defeat a legendary opponent.

what can we do about it?

Cohen thought as he walked, and took Windsardler with him, walking through several teleportation arrays according to his memory, and arrived at the westernmost corridor.

Just as they were about to walk down a teleportation array, a middle-aged man in a purple uniform suddenly walked out of a room nearby and stopped them.

Cohen has already figured out the hierarchical structure of the research institute.

Those in white coats are the lowest-level researchers.

Those in yellow uniforms are mid-level security guards.

Those in purple uniforms are senior administrators.

As for the man in black uniform, he is most likely the director of this research institute.

A senior administrator stopped them, and Cohen estimated the time and decided not to waste time here.

He spoke directly:
"Do it!"

Windsardler had experience this time and did not give the other party a chance to draw his weapon.

His body was shining with golden light, his golden body was radiating power, and he clenched his fists and smashed hard at the senior administrator.

However, what happened next left them both dumbfounded.

A trace of surprise appeared on the face of the man in black uniform, and he looked at the other party's fist without dodging.

boom!
A protective shield emitting a hazy blue light appeared out of thin air in front of the man.

The attack from the Golden Body didn't cause any damage to the protective shield at all.

Cohen's heart suddenly sank!
bad!
Even mid-level security guards have means to target the golden body, so senior administrators must have more powerful weapons!
What is this protective shield?
A kind of formation?

But why can't I feel any magical fluctuations?

Surprising!

Without giving Cohen much time to think, the senior administrator roared.

Two teams of fully armed mid-level security guards filed out from the rooms on both sides, each holding a pistol with a cold and sharp gleam.

Surrounded the two people instantly.

Windsardler was furious and said to Cohen:

"Is this what you mean by taking action?"

Cohen showed no embarrassment at all and said:

"Mistakes, mistakes, it's okay, at worst you can just start over!

We still have three chances!"

As he said this, he took out a dagger, smiled evilly, and stabbed it into his own heart in front of everyone's horrified eyes.

"See you all later!"
