"It seems that the Temple of Nature has not let go of the Soul Forging Tower. Over the past few thousand years, they have been looking for their traces and have finally found this place," said Kona.
"However, the defenses left by Gregorio seem to have truly protected this island. Over the past thousands of years, countless people have died silently on this sea. If we are a little careless, we might be one of them." Luo Ling said.
Flying over the sea and stepping onto the snow on the island, Xiao Chen and his companions carefully came to the door of the Soul Forging Tower. They all prepared various defensive magics on their bodies to deal with possible dangers behind the door.
When they felt everything was ready, Xiao Chen reached out to the door.
But before he knocked, the door opened, and the person behind the door was far from what he had imagined.
A skeleton, its bones as black as obsidian, held a crystal plate in its hands, poking at it with his bony fingers while making grunting noises.
The skeleton was wearing a robe whose original color could not be seen, but perhaps due to its age, it had turned into strips of rotten cloth, exposing his bones.
There were two balls of green flames flickering in his two dark eye sockets, and when facing Xiao Chen, they gave Xiao Chen great pressure.
The skeleton smacked its lips and made a sound from somewhere: "The 225th experiment, there are actually eight survivors, and some souls. The latest improvements seem to have made the attack effect worse. Damn it! There must be something wrong with the new charging circuit."
The skeleton was clearly in front of them, but it acted as if it didn't see them and was busy analyzing the magic that had just happened.
But Xiao Chen and others found that the original shields on their bodies were dissipating at a very fast speed.
Xiao Chen immediately felt something was wrong and shouted, "Retreat quickly!"
But they were shocked to find that the space around them seemed to have been locked without their knowledge, and no teleportation magic could be activated. And no matter how they ran, they could not get out of the few meters radius of the Soul Forging Tower entrance.
At this time, the skeleton's attention finally shifted from the board to them.
He raised his head and said, "Although it is possible that my latest design was a mistake that allowed you to escape the Light of Samsara, since you are a survivor, it is worth studying carefully."
The fire in his eyes seemed to turn to Kona, Mollett and the others, "But your souls attached to living people are of no value."
The flame in the eyes jumped, and the bodies of Kona and others were completely dispelled. They didn't even have time to say a word before they were forced back to Xiao Chen and Luo Ling's meditation world by an invisible force.
"The power of this skeleton is much stronger than that of Mei Tiantian. I even feel that they are not in the same realm!" Luo Ling said, "Could it be..."
"Super Saint?"
Xiao Chen raised his hand, revealing the Traveler's Heart Ring on it: "This is the Dream Tower Ring passed down by Saint Gomez and Saint Gregorio. You are in the Soul Forging Tower, you must know both of them, right? There must be some connection between us, can you please let us go and let us have a good talk!"
"Gomez? Gregorio? I don't know what you are talking about." The skeleton tilted its head and looked at Xiao Chen. "My mission is to make the light of reincarnation stronger and stronger, strong enough... strong enough... I have forgotten how strong it should be, but other than making it stronger, nothing else matters! I have forgotten all those things."
Xiao Chen found that he couldn't escape, so he had to try to communicate with the skeleton: "Who are you? What is the light of reincarnation?"
"Me? I am the creator and improver of the Light of Samsara. Other than that, I don't need a name. It's meaningless... As for the Light of Samsara, haven't you all felt it? Under its light, people will be confined to a small part of their memory, experiencing these things over and over again... becoming a prisoner trapped in their own memories, unable to escape the cage created by the 'past'. Realm is meaningless in front of this magic. As long as you have memories, they will become weaknesses. This is the Light of Samsara, a magic that even gods can hardly resist!"
"Even the gods can't resist it?" Xiao Chen said, "I see. Are you a magician who studies ways to fight against the gods of nature? Or are you Gregorio himself?"
"Gregorio? Why do you keep mentioning him? This name..." The skeleton seemed to recall something. The green flames in his eyes suddenly turned pale, and the bones in his body made a creaking sound. "I seem to have heard this name, many times. But in my memory, this name gives me a bad feeling. No, not only bad, but full of hatred. Why? Why do I hate this person? Tell me, human, who is this person? What did he do to me?"
Xiao Chen said: "It seems that your memory is a little confused. You can remove the suppression on us. With my mental magic, I can help you recall some important things."
"No, you humans are all liars. Several humans have deceived me hundreds of years ago. They stole many things from me and even affected my experiments! Although I have forgotten many things, I will not be fooled a second time. I won't give you a chance!"
Luo Ling asked, "Are those people you are talking about Melo, Matthew and Allen?"
"Sure enough! Sure enough, you are in the same group with these despicable rats. Otherwise, how would you know their names?" The fire in the skeleton's eyes burned more and more, and it trembled more violently. "It seems that I should take you to do a few more experiments!"
The skeleton stretched out its hand and grabbed forward, and Xiao Chen and Luo Ling felt that they were caught in a strange space. The scene around them spun around, and when they woke up, they found that they had come to the interior of the Soul Forging Tower, standing in the middle of a vaulted hall full of magic arrays. The magic arrays were not only carved on the floor of the hall, but also on the surrounding pillars and walls. There were also magic symbols painted on them.
This room was full of binding power, not only was it difficult for people to move, but the surrounding magic power was also locked. In this room, the magician could hardly cast even the simplest magic.
However, the magic circle seemed to promote mental power. Xiao Chen felt that his mental power became stronger and more concentrated here.
Luo Ling also found something strange. She said, "This magic circle... are they going to use us to simulate some kind of enemy with extremely strong mental power?"
