I'm not a loser in love from Dimensional Adventurer

"Starlight, we have to focus on training the speed of casting spells in the future. Can you help me?"

"Spell casting speed? Hmm, Starlight will definitely support the master no matter what!"

"Really!? Then let's work hard together!"

After Alice and Starlight set a training schedule, their team walked deeper into the swamp.On the way forward, due to an accidental lowering of her head, Alice discovered a shining ring in a small bush of plants.

Could this be what Lorenzo left behind?

Alice didn't dare to come to a conclusion. She picked up the ring and brushed off the dirt on its surface, revealing a line of text that was mostly worn away.

"Everyone, look what I found? A ring, right in this swamp!"

Chapter 44 Lorenzo’s Chamber of Secrets

"Um, everyone? I think I found something amazing."

The other three people heard the sound and came over. Alice turned the ring over. This ring was not of a size that a woman would wear, but its ring was quite suitable for an adult man.

Is it Lorenzo’s ring this time?Alice wasn't sure.

Vician temporarily took the ring away. He looked at the ring against the sun for a while and concluded that the ring was not made of ordinary gemstones.

"This material is not an ordinary gemstone. Well, Alice, please transfer the magic power to this ring and see. I suspect it is made of high-purity magic crystal."

"Do you want me to transfer magic power? It won't release something strange, right?"

Alice closed her eyes and Vician placed the ring on her palm.Caschia and Ivan Bell drew out their weapons and were on guard, in case the ring would attract bad things after acquiring the magic power.

Alice's magic power was absorbed by the ring bit by bit, and the ring suddenly burst out with a light after flickering weakly for a few times.The place where the light pointed was in a ruins. The ruins were very similar to what Alice saw in her dream. It could be said that this was the place she saw.

The four of them followed the light and came to a collapsed stone statue. After some exploration, they found the hidden mechanism.

"There is a groove here. Alice, go and put the ring in it and try it."

"As soon as you put it away, return it immediately. Be careful."

Alice nodded solemnly. She aligned the ring with the groove of the mechanism and put it in. Then she turned the ring a few times. With a "click", the mechanism was activated.

The ground in front of the statue split to both sides, and a whole staircase leading to the underground appeared in front of them.

"The shovels you bought are no longer of use. It's a pity."

Caschia ignored the teasing in Visian's tone and took out an oil lamp from the void; this oil lamp, like the chain hung on Ivan Bell's scythe, was part of the Abyss Crosser's weapon. And they all have unique functions.

Although this oil lamp was basically hung on his spear and used purely for lighting.

Caschia walked in front, and Vician walked at the end of the queue. The two of them sandwiched Alice and Ivan Bell in the middle, and they kept walking in this queue all the way down the stairs.

The stairs were very long, and the further they went down, the more they could smell the smell of decay.The channel connected to the stairs has a stone top, which prevents the swamp water from dripping down in a large area.

Alice skirted a puddle of water, and Caschia in front of her gestured backward to indicate that they had reached the end.

The door in front of them was not a heavy stone door, it was just a simple wooden door. Although the wooden door looked moldy, it was still quite new.The door silently reminded Alice of the fact that there were still people living here.

Wei Xi'an quickly picked the door lock with his hands and feet. After opening the door, there was nothing but dust blowing in his face. It seemed that the owner of this secret room was not there.

"Move quickly. If we find any useful clues, we'll leave here. I'll keep an eye out for any signs of Lorenzo's return."

"Okay, leave it to us. Let me see..."

Alice walked to the bookcase. She didn't expect to put everything back in its place. They didn't have much time, so she could only take the books on the bookcase one by one and look through them.

This is indeed Lorenzo's secret room. Alice found Lorenzo's name on a badly damaged book. It was a notebook that recorded magic-related records.

Alice couldn't understand it. The notebook was too profound for her. It was hard to imagine what Lorenzo was studying.

She threw the notebook aside and continued to rummage. Most of the books on the bookcase were similar to that notebook. They were filled with various ancient books about the feasibility of new magic.

After all the books on the third floor of the bookcase were removed, a strange booklet caught Alice's attention.The booklet was only half the size of an ordinary book. The cover was made of a hard unknown substance, possibly the shell of a ground lizard.Alice smelled a familiar voice on it, she curled her lips, resisted the discomfort and opened the booklet:

【Winter Season November 11

I succeeded!I hid some "taxes", and these gold coins were enough for me to ferry to other continents.I'm leaving here, my wife is on the other side of the continent, and I'm going to see her again.It's almost here, dear, please wait for me. 】

【Spring Season January 1

Damn Follenhoek!Damn, damn beast!Ana, I'm sorry for you.

Me, I want the handwriting to be distorted and unreadable.

I can't just let him go, he has ruined my life, my body, and yours.I lost my legs, which were chopped off by Vollenhoek himself.If I just lost one of my legs, I could bear it, but!But!Look at me, Ana, your hand is attached to my leg like this.

The writer was very angry. Most of the words were scrawled and indistinguishable. Some of the handwriting was so heavy that it even scratched the paper.

I will take revenge, for you and for me.I will escape from here. 】

Alice couldn't help but cover her mouth. She had heard this rumor before, and the things recorded in this diary were very horrifying, but this inexplicably prompted her to continue reading the next pages of the book.

【May 3

I ran away, I left that dark place.Ana, my wife, and I are barely doing okay these days.Although those stupid people are still scorning my physical differences, but I don't care.Part of you is still here with me, and it makes me feel better to feel that.Also, I found out the mage who gave Forenhoek the idea. What was his name?Samuel?I will find him, and I will feel the pain I am suffering now. 】

【May 6

I was recaptured, and it seemed that I had no good luck at all in my life.They smiled strangely at me, and they had no intention of executing me on the spot.I was sent back to my original room, a small, suffocating place.Nothing has changed, Ana. I will be reunited with you soon, right? 】

【May 8

Just kill me!Just kill me!This sentence was repeated dozens of times, almost covering the entire paper.

Pain, burning, something crawling all over my body.I'm going crazy, or maybe I'm already crazy?

They are like the devil's tentacles, they won't let me kill myself.They're gonna slap away the knife I'm trying to put around my neck, and they're alive, you know?Ana!They are alive!

But who is Ana?There was this sentence written at the bottom of the paper. The handwriting was so small that Alice almost didn't notice it. 】

【Thursday

I have been given a new task, and for the sake of my lord Forenhoek, I will complete the task as scheduled.This paragraph is no longer twisted, and is written neatly on the page. It is difficult to imagine that it is Lorenzo's handwriting.Something seemed to have happened to him during this time. 】

This is where the diary was recorded. The first few pages of the diary were full of torn gaps and twisted handwriting, making it impossible for Alice to read any more. The only thing that could be confirmed was that the writer was probably in a state of collapse.The last few entries in the diary are completely different. The cursive characters written by the same person are spread out on the pages, but the content is exactly the same: for our master, how many people have been killed today, and another mission has been received today.

The traces belonging to Lorenzo had completely disappeared, except for the few words "Ana" that appeared in the sentences from time to time. Alice thought she had read the wrong diary.

It's clear that the diary chronicles everything Lourenço endured, from his attempts to reunite with his wife to his tortured dehumanization.Everything was recorded in this little diary. From a certain day, Lorenzo disappeared from Nirnati, and was replaced by a monster with strange hands and lava churning in his body.

Lorenzo has suffered a mental breakdown. Although he remains conscious, he is now focused on how to transfer his pain to others. This is also the reason for the existence of such a large cabinet of magic books.

Alice closed the diary and planned to leave the secret room with it.His companions could find nothing and were now on guard near the door.

"You don't look good. What did you find?"

"I'm fine, I'm just a little... hypoxic. But you have to read this, Lorenzo's diary."

"Oh? Well done, Alice."

Alice opened the diary and she was briefly describing what was written in the diary.She and her companions were very focused on the contents of this diary.By the time Vician realized someone was approaching, it was already too late.Lorenzo walked in from the other side of the wall. After he discovered the uninvited guests surrounding the door of his secret room, he immediately launched an attack without mercy.

In a panic, Alice dropped the diary in her hand and smashed it to the ground.After seeing the diary on the ground, Lorenzo's whole body exuded a more terrifying aura than before.

"You! You thieves! What else do you want to take from me!!?"

"Kill them? Yes, yes, my dear Ana. I will do as you wish."

After Lourenco shouted angrily, he suddenly spoke in another tone.He murmured to himself with dull eyes, as if "Ana" was really talking to him.

"Don't even think about getting out alive!"

"coming!"

This battle was inevitable. Alice stood in a row with her companions, raising their weapons at the same time to face the rampaging Lorenzo.

——TBC——

Chapter 45 The sorrow that will eventually end

"No one can escape from here alive!"

Lorenzo stood there screaming at Alice and the others, and once the diary recording his own past was discovered, he fell into a rage.The four opponents surrounding Lorenzo broke through the shackles of the cloak. Without the cover of the cloak, his mutilated body was displayed in front of Alice and her party.

Most of the skin was cruelly peeled off, and the blood vessels protruding from the flesh were bulging, and liquid that looked like magma was flowing in his blood vessels.

This is what Lorenzo looks like now, a living monster. No wonder he has to cover his figure with a cloak.

The battle was about to break out. Lorenzo swung his claws in a certain direction. The blood vessels on his claws burst open, and a ball of boiling liquid flew straight forward.

"Quickly open!"

Vician shouted to the stunned Alice while throwing a throwing knife at Lorenzo.Alice jumped up and crouched down decisively to avoid the attack. The ball of "magma" passed over her head and hit the wall hard.

"Zizzi"

A big hole was burned into the wall behind Alice, and she quickly retreated to the other side, not wanting to have a hole burned into her as well.

The entire secret room was in a state of panic, and Caschia stood at the front of his companions. He picked up his spear and blocked Lorenzo's claw attack.The constant friction between the claws and the spear made a harsh sound, and Caschia struggled.

But soon his companions rushed over to help.

Ivan Bell rushed towards him, she stepped lightly on Caschia's shoulder, jumped up with the help of her strength and gave Lorenzo a heavy blow from above.This attack cut off one of his right arms. Lorenzo turned his head and kicked Ivan Bell hard with his bloodshot eyes. Ivan Bell did not feel any sense from these eyes.

Lorenzo planned to tear anyone in front of him into pieces. His fighting instinct gave him some fighting skills. He used his free hand to swat away Caschia's spear from bottom to top and hit the opponent with it. There were several blood stains left on the body.

"Well!"

Caschia retreated a little, his clothes were torn apart mercilessly, and his entire chest was soaked in blood. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured.It's just that his spear was hit to the other side, and it might take some effort to pick it back up.

Lorenzo did not stop his attack. He caught Ivan Bell before he had time to retreat. He picked up Ivan Bell hard and smashed him to the ground.

Ivan Bell let out a cry of pain, and the smell of blood suddenly filled his mouth.Liquid flowed out of Lorenzo's cut and splashed onto her body, causing secondary injuries.Ivan Bell narrowed his eyes in pain. Lorenzo did not let her go and exposed the gap. He pressed Ivan Bell's shoulders with a pair of hands on his abdomen, and then raised the first hand on his right to crush the girl with all his strength. head.

Ivan Bell almost died like this, just a little bit, when Lorenzo's claws were only five centimeters away from her face.Glowing runes suddenly appeared out of thin air between Ivan Bell and Lorenzo. Those runes were intertwined with each other to form a shield.

Ivan Bell turned her head, and she saw Alice holding up the staff with lingering fear.Alice was a little panicked. Her magic almost failed to catch up. The chanting time of this guardian magic [Elemental Blessing·Strong Shield] took much longer than she expected.But fortunately, she didn't let Ivan Bell's head be smashed into pulp.

Ivan Bell nodded to Alice with great effort. While the magic shield was still in effect, she put her foot in Lorenzo's face and successfully escaped from the restraints.When Ivan Bell escaped from the attack and jumped back to Alice, he even thanked her quietly.

"Very timely, thank you."

"It doesn't matter. I'll leave the attack to you, and I will be responsible for assisting you."

"it is good."

Ivan Bell has always been a lone wolf, but the assistance provided by Alice did not make her feel any discomfort, but instead gave her a strange sense of peace of mind.
