The corridor was resplendent in gold, with bright magic lights illuminating the entire corridor on both sides.
You can even see the stars outside the window from here.
Celia was taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized: "This base is in the warp?"
“Yes, if you keep spacing out, someone will be coming up ahead.”
Celia rushed forward and soon bumped into a heretic walking towards her at the corner of the corridor.
She didn't give her opponent a chance to react, and attacked directly, freezing her opponent into an ice sculpture.
"There must be a magic circle here too. Let me control it first before continuing!"
Upon arriving at the heretical stronghold, Celia had already become accustomed to finding the magic circles, then controlling and modifying them to make the heretical magic circles her own.
This stronghold is in the subspace, but it is no exception; it also has a magic array.
The magic array is embedded in this corridor, serving as the defensive force of the stronghold and the cornerstone that allows the entire stronghold to exist in the subspace.
Celia didn't concern herself with maintaining the stability of the magic circle; she mainly focused on infiltrating the parts with active skills.
Whether it's protection, attack, or offering blessings, all are targets of her intrusion.
But she quickly abandoned the invasion of the magic circle.
"This magic array, apart from connecting to the outside warning system, doesn't even have basic protection. Modifying it would be a waste of time, so I won't waste my time. I'll just connect to the array and block my location."
She was quick at shielding herself; it didn't take long for Celia to complete the modification of the magic circle.
She gathered a large number of ice spikes around her, compressed them into tiny ice needles, and used her mage's hand to control the numerous ice needles to follow her movements.
Only then did they venture deeper into the area.
Ross cautioned, "There are fourth-tier mages in this stronghold."
Celia's heart tightened, and she nodded, "I understand."
She quickly connected with the magic circle.
Although this magic circle has no defensive or counter-attack capabilities, it reveals everyone's whereabouts as long as they walk inside. It cannot be used for attacks, but it is still quite useful for finding people.
Celia began searching within the vast stronghold.
After a long time, in the deepest room, she saw a female sorcerer writing something.
At first glance, Celia was certain that this mage was the fourth-tier mage she was looking for.
When she spotted him, he suddenly looked up, his eyes emitting white vapor, as if he had no pupils.
Through the magic circle, Celia learned what she had said.
"Intruder!"
Alarms immediately went off throughout the base.
Celia was stunned: "Are fourth-tier mages this perceptive? They can detect you with just one glance?"
Ross said, "She's a mental mage, very sensitive to gazes."
"Psychic..."
Celia felt she was having a bad day; all the unexpected things that shouldn't have happened to her had occurred to her.
Now that things have come to this, there's no way to gather information anymore; we have no choice but to leave.
The girl turned and ran.
But soon she realized she couldn't escape.
"That woman sealed off the subspace!"
Celia immediately used her Mage's Hand to connect to the magic circle and found that the access control for blocking the entrance and exit was very high, and it seemed that it could only be opened and closed manually.
Without a doubt, that switch must be with the fourth-tier female mage.
"We can only try to see if we can crack it..."
Without hesitation, Celia summoned the puppet, shielding it from the magic circle's surveillance, then chose a direction and ran there without hesitation.
As the alarm sounded, the entire outpost seemed to come alive.
A large number of heretics began searching for Celia's whereabouts in the stronghold.
Under the surveillance of the magic circle, Celia could see a large number of heretics gathering towards the entrance, and many of them running towards her from the direction she had come from.
"Just in time!"
Misfortune struck everything, leaving Celia feeling frustrated.
Faced with the surging infidels, she advanced instead of retreating, wielding her staff while the puppet charged forward with the Myriad Lights Sword.
By the time the heretics found her, her spell with the puppet had already flown over.
White ice crystals bloomed in the empty corridor, creating countless ice sculptures and scarlet ice crystals.
Celia stepped forward on the ice crystals formed from congealed blood. Soon, she saw through the magic circle the heretics rushing towards the entrance, as if they had received some command.
The maze-like corridors can easily make people lose their way, but with the perspective of the entire maze monitor, the maze is actually easier to navigate.
“I can’t kill anymore. That sorcerer can’t see me, but he can see those heretics dying ‘mysteriously’.”
"We need to find a place to hide, crack the magic array's access control, and then leave."
"If all else fails... we can fight a fourth-tier opponent!"
Chapter 312 Search and Demolition
Unless absolutely necessary, Celia would certainly not face a fourth-tier mage.
Fortunately, she already had a plan.
"First, disable the surveillance on all three roads so they can't track me down immediately..."
With his mental energy surging, he quickly located the three branching paths of the long corridor ahead, paused all the monitoring runes inside, and froze the scene forever, making it impossible to know which path she was on.
Then, she took out the Dream Essence, cast a spell to resist dreams, and applied some of the Dream Essence liquid to her hands.
The effects of the medicine are rapidly dissipating.
Because of the direct contact, even with spells to resist, Celia felt a wave of drowsiness wash over her.
She mustered her strength and rushed quickly toward the target area.
A group of heretics appeared ahead. When they saw Celia, they were about to cast a spell, but before the spell could be released, as Celia rapidly approached, they opened their mouths to yawn, but before they could yawn, they collapsed to the ground and enjoyed a baby-like sleep.
Celia ignored these people; she was in a hurry to avoid being confronted by that fourth-tier mage.
After that, she encountered two more groups of heretics, who were put to sleep by the Dream Essence in her hands. She then rushed to her destination, a door that looked like a window and was located on the side of a corridor.
The door had already quietly opened as she rushed over, and she rushed in without hesitation.
"This room has the highest security level in the entire secret realm. Despite the chaos outside, the sorcerer inside seems unaffected. There must be a secret here!"
Unable to leave for the time being, Celia decided to go all out and, while keeping the fourth-tier mage at bay, dig up all the secrets of the entire stronghold!
This is the first stop that Celia has set her sights on.
While everyone else is yelling and scrambling to catch the intruders, this place remains completely unaffected.
There's a secret about it no matter how you look at it.
Furthermore, the outer magic array can only affect the surface inside, allowing one to see only a small part of the interior.
From this small area, all that could be seen was people inside studying an unknown magical artifact.
"It looks like a research lab of the Arctic Blood Alliance... How come this heretic is doing something legitimate?"
As soon as Celia entered, everyone in the room looked over, and a second later, they all closed their eyes and fainted.
"They shouldn't be researching the Dream Essence, otherwise these people wouldn't have fallen asleep."
Celia surveyed the layout of the entire empty room.
The room was square, about a hundred square meters, with many unidentifiable magical artifacts placed around the walls and in the middle, as well as a number of magic crystal wands and various pharmaceutical materials. All the items were piled up in the shape of the Chinese character "回".
"What looks like the surface is just the surface; there must be some secret hidden inside."
With quick eyes and hands, Celia walked along, collecting all the valuable materials and magic crystals in her possession.
The girl glanced at the machines in the room and recorded them using her wristband.
"These things are too heavy to move, let's just destroy them."
Celia muttered something, and a large number of ice needles appeared, disappearing into all the magical artifacts that couldn't be taken away, penetrating deep into the most vulnerable and sensitive core magic array components.
"burst!"
All magical devices, whether running or not, cease functioning at this moment.
After doing all this, Celia quickly came to a clean white wall.
Through her detection of the magic array, she sensed that this wall was not connected to the magic array of the entire stronghold.
Upon getting closer, the mage sensed that an extremely secret magic array was hidden within.
"There's another magic array hidden within the magic array. They really know how to hide things."
Celia reached out and pressed her hand against the wall, her mental tendrils penetrating the wall through her palm and touching the magic circle inside.
Before long, she frowned: "This magic array is too complicated and too high-level. There's no way to break it in a short time."
If her whereabouts hadn't been revealed, she would have been patient enough to stay here for several hours to break the magic array.
But now, she doesn't have that much time.
Although she used the same method as a fourth-tier mage to isolate the room from the outside, the fourth-tier mage was unable to break through quickly.
However, if the enemy continues to bombard it for an hour, even the most powerful magic array will be broken.
Unless this magic circle possesses the self-repairing ability of the sealing magic circle that sealed Ross.
Obviously, such a thing is impossible; it belongs to the realm of gods, and how could a low- to mid-level mage possibly possess it?
If so, there is only one possibility: while the formation was being destroyed, a formation master inside was working hard to repair it.
After much deliberation, Celia decided to abandon her plan to infiltrate the hidden magic circle.
But just as she turned to leave, the wall slowly faded, eventually turning into a secret passage leading to unknown depths.
Celia looked at Ross, her eyes shining.
"Lord God!"
The girl shouted and entered the secret passage while accepting the magic array invasion route shared by Ross.
Once inside, the door behind you turns back into a smooth, flat wall, making it impossible to tell that there is a secret passage.
Shortly after she entered, a loud roar came from outside.
The sorceress who discovered Celia has arrived at this door.
She squinted as she looked at the locked door in front of her.
"Such a skilled array master could never remain unknown."
As a mental mage, she is constantly connected to the magic circle, and as the center of the entire stronghold, she monitors everything within it.
"The news brought by Jesticaf has made me think, and I didn't even notice your arrival. However, since you are so audacious as to intrude into the magic circle and even try to monitor me, I cannot let you leave."
She licked her lips and looked at Jesticaf beside her. A scene flashed into her mind, just like when Celia had first come in, before she had blocked her presence.
The female sorceress asked coldly, "Can you confirm that this person is the boy who was tracking you?"
Justicar glanced at it, then quickly lowered his head, cold sweat pouring down his face. "It should be, Lady Vera."
boom!
Jesticaf was suddenly sent flying backward, crashing into the wall of the corridor on the other side. When others looked over, they could only see blood flowing from his eyes, nose, and ears.
This attack method, completely different from conventional magic, made all the heretics tremble with fear.
Vera said calmly, "This may not be where he's hiding. It could be a deliberate act to make us waste time here. Go and continue searching other places. Report back immediately if you find anything. Don't fight. You can't beat him."
"Yes!"
The many heretics breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left.
