Dragon Tribulation of All Realms

Chapter 109: Sixth-Tier Spell: Royal Chamber

It's there.

It is everywhere, yet it does not exist in any one area.

It thought Wu Chen had not discovered it, but Wu Chen already knew its essence and its form of existence.

A ghost.

A ghost that lives on the tide of faith in the Holy Kingdom, yet is bound within this underground ruin, possessing some divine qualities.

It might be a child god like himself, but it was more likely a level lower than himself. If a child god grew and became strong normally, it would naturally become a true god. Yet, it had been imprisoned in this ruin, wandering for nearly two hundred years without making much progress.

The full-on elemental impact is a test.

To test whether it would become more vigilant towards him, and thus determine the opponent's specific strength level. And so far, the answer is quite encouraging.

The other party felt like facing a formidable enemy.

However, from the flowing tide of wishes, Wu Chen could read some peace of mind.

Ah, it was obvious that she saw herself as her future right-hand man. After all, the relationship between her and Calca was so close.

Calca's gaze remained fixed solely on him. The admiration and dependence evident in her expression were so clear. So, there was only one question left to confirm.

——How are you going to win?

One thing was certain: the other party hadn't replaced Calca's abilities without warning. Most likely, they had temporarily entrust their soul to an artifact. Of course, they would have weakened Calca sufficiently before doing so, ensuring that she no longer possessed any power that could threaten them.

The Holy King's Golden Crown is a good choice.

This meant that the other party had a way to trick Wu Chen and Calca into ignoring the changes in the golden crown—relying on the artifact's strengthening or unsealing to possess it would be a good option. Even so, it should have released a decoy to distract the powerful guardian at a critical moment.

Wu Chen made this judgment.

Wu Chen's thoughts were concise and clear—he didn't know whether it was his will that bestowed wisdom upon him, or whether he had simply grown sufficiently. But he knew he wasn't far off from the ultimate truth.

after all……

"This looks like a storage warehouse!"

The Paladin girl, leading the way with her face, let out an excited cry. She had just casually knocked out several side hall guards and crushed several traps along the way—the Light Blessing could reduce her divine damage, while the elemental mastery granted by Wu Chen could protect her from a large amount of conventional firepower. And the final result...

Remedios had simply blasted a few falling rocks, traps, and spike traps with her bare hands. Before the most threatening, massive falling rock could actually fall, Wu Chen used telekinesis to pull Remedios out of harm's way.

Strictly speaking, the threat is not that big.

And now...

"Hmm, there are ancient characters on it. They seem to be asking us to demonstrate the traditions of the Holy Kingdom." Calca examined it while Kuirat pondered the solution. After some research, they figured out the answer before Wuchen could unleash the elemental impact.

"This is the oath every Holy King swears upon ascending the throne!" Kuirat's voice was filled with joy. "This has been a tradition of the Holy Kingdom for two hundred years, and it has remained unchanged throughout the ages!"

Calca stepped forward without hesitation.

"I swear to dedicate everything in my life to the Holy Kingdom of Babur. For my people, for my country, for everything we have, I will fight to the very end, even if my soul is annihilated!"

Her voice became the key, unlocking the sealed door. Within lay a dazzling array of treasures: gold, jewels, and a wealth of finely crafted weapons and armor. And at the deepest part of the vault, a piece of half-body armor stood out.

[Armor of Humility - An enchanted half-plate made of mithril. Extremely light, it conforms to the wearer's body without affecting spellcasting. The wearer gains Lay on Hands three times daily and Divine Shield three times daily. Also, the wearer loses the ability to lie until the armor is removed.]

——[To purchase this item, you need to pay 2000 resource points and 1 level 1 purchase voucher.]

Good stuff, especially since the price is in line with expectations, which suggests it probably doesn't have any hidden features. The fact that it can't lie is a bit lacking. I can't use it myself, and neither can Quorat, and Remedios needs full body armor.

"This is a treasure left to you by your ancestors, Calca." Wu Chen handed the mithril armor, which seemed to weigh only two taels, to his follower. "I took a quick look. It provides healing and protection three times a day, but the price is that you can't lie while wearing it." "Yes!"

The girl took the armor.

She poured her magic power into it, then let out a soft cry. Under the gaze of several people, the half-armor liquefied and reforged, eventually transforming into exquisite light armor of the same size as her, flowing with holy white and pale silver.

She carefully donned the mithril armor—the style of her attire remained largely unchanged, but it gained a touch of coolness and holiness. If it weren't for the current situation, Wu Chen would have wanted to pick her up and give her a good rub.

"How do you feel?" Wu Chen asked casually.

“I feel safe being with Duxter…” Calca’s pretty face flushed red midway through her unconscious response, and she lowered her head.

well.

The Custodio sisters looked around innocently. One of them became interested in the wall, while the other began studying the emblem on a golden cup. Wu Chen, however, felt that his assessment of Calca's rank might need to be raised.

——During the actual combat before, I clearly felt that you were quite a newbie!

As the thought came to mind, his body stiffened.

"Cough." Wu Chen coughed lightly, but his eyes fell on a spell book placed next to the Armor of Humility.

Sixth-Level Magic: Royal Chamber

He raised his eyebrows.

Wu Chen remembered clearly that the Mage's Mansion should be a seventh-level spell. In the current worldview, a seventh or eighth level spell would be possible. But down to the sixth...

He flipped through it briefly. He could understand most of the spell models. However, there were some subtle details that he couldn't study immediately. But he had a feeling that if he just took action, he might be able to accomplish it more easily.

unusual.

There is a trap, hidden in some secret place that you haven't noticed.

When faced with such a situation, he would naturally call on his omnipotent friends to help - after all, his friends never charge for appraisals and will not deliberately hide items in important places.

Sixth-tier Magic: Royal Chamber – The user can create a six-layered, integrated extra-dimensional space. Each space is a fixed 1,200-cubic-meter residence, automatically generating localized decor and dishes. You can designate which guests are allowed in upon opening the portal, and outside forces cannot interfere with this place. Furthermore, you can place personal belongings within the chamber, and they will remain secure even after the magic is lifted.

——[Note: To cast this spell, the caster must possess at least Level 1 Mythic trait. Otherwise, the difficulty of casting this spell increases from Level to Level . Furthermore, it will require more research time.]

——[To purchase this skill, you need to pay 3000 resource points and 2 level 1 purchase voucher.]

It turned out to be the case.

Storage spells were rare, and the equipment was usually small. Yet, here, there was such a wealth of treasure, weaponry, and various materials. It was obvious that the other party had arranged a test. To test whether the source of the willpower fluctuations was truly Calca, and not himself in disguise. If not, this spell was used to distract him. After all, mages are always short of money, so they would inevitably focus their attention on this convenient spell.

It's considered inferior to the creation of a demiplane in the 8th ring. It might be a bit desolate, but its scalability and functionality will be greatly improved.

"Interesting." Wu Chen hummed softly in reality.

"This spell is quite interesting, but it'll take some time." Wu Chen closed the spell book, a look of interest on his face. "Let's take a break for a while and replenish our nutrition. I'll also study this book. Maybe the gains will be greater than expected."

He cast the food-making spell and indeed focused considerable energy on deciphering the magic. Time thus passed for a short while, until the associative abilities of several present, theoretically, declined slightly.

'Long——'

The entire underground ruins suddenly began to shake slightly. A small amount of fine sand fell from the ceiling of the treasure house.

it is as expected.
