Chapter 367 - 321: The Appearance of the Lord of Magnet City【5K】_2
It wasn’t long before Leo Ray and his nine comrades, along with Nathan Howard and Ned Nathan, arrived at another dark hall.
“Lord, this is where we usually meet the Lord of Magnet City,” Ned Nathan said to Leo Ray.
From his tone, one could hear a hint of trembling, seemingly still frightened by the cold-blooded Lord of Magnet City.
“I understand.”
With a slight nod, Leo Ray surveyed the area, noticing that it was about 200 square meters in size. There were more than a dozen towering stone pillars placed in order, and a protruding platform at the end.
A giant screen stretched between the high platform and the bottom.
The other places were piled with mountains of red crystals.
Under the illumination of the Light Crystal Stones, these crystal-clear red clusters emitted a bright glow, looking quite eye-catching.
After checking their properties, Leo Ray found that these deep red semi-transparent crystals were the so-called Blazing Crystals, a type of Level 3 rare resource.
“My Lord, I can’t feel anyone else’s presence here. It seems the Lord of Magnet City isn’t here,” said Taylor, the greatsword-wielding man, with a stern expression.
At this moment, the dazzling Dragon-slaying Greatsword shone brightly in the dark environment.
Meanwhile, the other subordinates had already drawn their weapons.
Various Tier-4 divine weapons filled the hall with brilliant colors, leaving Nathan Howard and Ned Nathan dumbfounded.
“Don’t worry, we’ll get you two your weapons too. We have plenty of those,” Leo Ray said with a smile.
Following this, with excited looks from Nathan and Ned, Leo Ray walked around the giant screen and noticed a throne located on the high platform. There wasn’t anything else worth noticing.
“Trying to hide his true face with a screen, yet his voice remains the same. Living in a mine and gathering all the city’s mined stones here… what is this guy up to?” Leo Ray pondered to himself.
At that moment, a shimmering, heavy-duty metallic door appeared behind the throne.
“My Lord, it’s a fire attribute magic restriction,” Scarlett said, patting her chest confidently. “Leave it to me!”
After ascending to the Tier 3 Pinnacle Powerhouse level, the magical aura she emitted had become much more intense than before.
During the purge of the Mine Defense Team, she followed closely behind Taylor, throwing fireballs and fire arrows, seemingly thrilled with her enhanced power.
Even once, a searing fireball she conjured almost burned Mason Banks’ eyebrows, a true ‘close shave.’
Considering this, Leo Ray instructed, “The Lord of Magnet City must be behind this door. Be careful.”
“Yes, my Lord!”
Scarlett grinned at Leo Ray, stepped forward, and began waving her highly colorful Tier 4 Short Staff.
The next moment, a cryptic chant ensued, and a small flame appeared on the shimmering door.
However, the flame was extinguished instantly by the door’s restrictive power before it could spread, producing crackling sounds and a wisp of misty green smoke.
“Huh?”
Scarlett looked puzzled when her spell failed. “This is clearly a Tier 3 magic restriction. Why can’t I undo it?”
After a few more attempts with the same outcome, she furrowed her brows, and it seemed like she figured something out.
“My Lord, it seems the powerhouse who set this Tier 3 magic restriction must have reached the Tier 4 Level. However, they have not yet mastered the techniques to set a Tier 4 magic restriction, hence the difficulty in unlocking it.
But, there’s a limit to Tier 3 magic restrictions. I’ll definitely be able to break through once I exploit that!” she assured.
With that, a round red magic pill appeared in her hand—the Blazing Flame Pills, which Leo Ray had obtained at the auction and could enhance fire spells’ power.
“I see.”
Leo Ray nodded, showing a thoughtful expression.
Beforehand, through Nathan and Ned’s reports, he had learned that the Lord of Magnet City was a Fire Mage just like Scarlett.
However, his strength at that time was only at the Tier 3, 5-star senior level.
Under normal circumstances, within just a few years, an ordinary Tier 3 powerhouse could only raise their strength by one or two stars with nonstop cultivation.
With the Lord of Magnet City’s resources, it was highly unlikely that he could refine multiple Tier 3 power-enhancing magic medicines worth millions of gold dragons, let alone the Tier 4 magic pills needed for a breakthrough.
“Thinking about it this way, if the enemy’s strength has truly broken through to Tier 4, it must be related to his unusual behavior over the past few years!”
