Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple-Chapter 628 601-The Statue of the Legendary Warrior

John paid no attention to the NPCs of lower levels.

Since they posed no threat to him, he simply chose to ignore their existence.

Having placed an item at the entrance of the underground area that could scan the surroundings at any time, he proceeded directly towards the deepest part of the underground.

As he made his way to the deepest part of the underground area, John gradually became aware of the presence of some mysterious forces.

These forces must have emerged here only recently, for during his last visit to the underground, he had not sensed any such mysterious presence.

It seemed that as the plot of the Godslaying game advanced, the power of the mysterious faction grew increasingly formidable.

Before long, John arrived at the deepest part of the underground area. freew ebnove l.com

There, he encountered a massive stone wall.

On his previous visit, he had stopped at this wall, but this time he had no intention of stopping.

He knew that to find the legendary warrior Aike, he must locate the ruins of Storm Lake, which was the only known access point to the ruins.

At least, John himself was unaware of any other routes to the Storm Lake ruins.

"It seems to be completely sealed off. How should I get through this stone gate?" John pondered.

He didn't immediately resort to using the power of the Book of the Astral Realm.

After passing through the mystical realm of Mystery, John's understanding of the Book of the Astral Realm had deepened.

Although the Book of the Astral Realm possesses immensely powerful spatial abilities and could assist John in overcoming any obstacle, its use might lead to a complete loss of control over the various elemental powers he possessed.

If there's a way to resolve the issue without resorting to the power of the Book of the Astral Realm, it's best to avoid using it.

After observing for a while, John finally noticed a slight crack at the edge of the stone door. Following this crack, John could sense the presence of water elemental forces behind the door.

Given the presence of water elemental forces, John could utilize the blessing bestowed upon him by the Sea God.

John promptly took out a divine scroll of a water elemental spell.

He then began to pray to the Sea God in his mind.

As John prayed, the power of the Sea God infused the scroll with energy.

The scroll emitted a blue glow, and once John felt the power granted by the Sea God was sufficiently strong, he threw the scroll at the stone wall.

The scroll, radiating blue light, struck the stone wall, which then transformed into a wall of water.

John chose not to pass through this water wall immediately, as he was uncertain about the dangers that might lie beyond.

He cautiously cast a Detection spell.

The Detection spell was successful, revealing nothing beyond the water wall but a vast lake.

The only traces John could find through this spell were those of water elements.

"It looks like the ruins of Storm Lake are beyond this point! No matter what dangers may lie ahead, I must go and see for myself!"

John was well aware of the powerful mysterious forces present at the ruins of Storm Lake.

But having come this far, he felt compelled to proceed and explore.

Moreover, he had prepared for all potential combat scenarios, and should he face defeat, he could count on the support of Duke Arsena and other allies, given that this location was directly beneath Storm City.

Taking a deep breath, John then passed through the water wall.

As he did so, a flood of information surged into his mind, all memories of the legendary warrior Aike.

John saw images of Aike valiantly battling the monsters of the mysterious faction and also witnessed the moment Aike was forced to abandon his comrades and retreat, a decision marked by a profound sense of helplessness.

Within these memories, it seemed that Aike harbored a constant fear of an unknown entity, certainly not a Sage of the Mysterious faction. In the memories John accessed, Aike had faced the Mysterious Sage in direct combat.

If Aike's fear had been directed towards the Mysterious Sage, he would not have dared to confront him in battle.

Just as John was trying to discern the source of Aike's deep-seated fear from these memories, he had already passed through the water wall.

After passing through the water wall, John was no longer able to access any more memories of the legendary warrior Aike.

Frowning slightly, John glanced back at the water wall, feeling that it was more than just a simple barrier of water; it seemed to harbor a secret.

However, John couldn't afford to delve further into this mystery, as the expanse of Storm Lake now lay before him.

The Storm Lake that John saw was almost indistinguishable from the one in the ancient battlefield illusion.

The surface of the lake was incredibly calm, without a single ripple.

The only difference was that, in the place where Aike had stood in the ancient battlefield illusion, there now stood a statue of Aike.

This statue of Aike was towering; John estimated it to be several dozen meters tall.

The statue's gaze was fixed on the distant horizon of Storm Lake.

Following the direction of the statue's gaze, John saw nothing but the vast expanse of the lake stretching out before him.

"It seems there's nothing unusual about Storm Lake here. And the lake's surface is completely still, without a single ripple. Does this mean I need to enter Storm Lake? Isn't that a bit too dangerous?"

John didn't encounter any unforeseen situations, which naturally led to a deadlock in his next course of action.

To gain more information, he might have no choice but to venture into Storm Lake itself.

However, the lake undoubtedly harbored significant dangers.

In the illusion of the ancient battlefield, it was within Storm Lake that John had encountered the true form of the Mysterious Sage.

Pacing back and forth along the shore of Storm Lake, John couldn't make an immediate decision, so he decided to think it over carefully.

As he pondered whether to enter Storm Lake, he looked up towards the horizon.

At the end of his sightline, the vast expanse of Storm Lake's waters lay as serene as a sapphire.

John's eyes were fixed intently on the calm surface of the lake in the distance.

His expression grew increasingly grave as he finally realized what was most amiss.

He shouldn't be able to see the surface of Storm Lake at the world's edge.

Shouldn't he be seeing the horizon at the end of his sightline?

Even if this was an underground area, it shouldn't be possible to see a lake's surface!

The moment he realized this, the entire surface of Storm Lake underwent a drastic transformation.

The previously placid waters became a raging storm.

Wave after wave surged towards John's direction.

Naturally, John used a blink spell to dodge to a safer location.

He was only a step away from the water wall, ready to retreat through it should he face any immense danger.

However, John's worries were unfounded.

Although a violent storm had erupted on the surface of Storm Lake, the tempest and massive waves did not advance towards him.

Instead, all the waves were blocked by the statue of the legendary warrior Aike.

When the huge waves crashed against the statue, it emitted a blue light.

The statue of Aike was enveloped in this blue glow, and then John heard a voice that was very familiar to him.

"I knew you would not disappoint me! You have finally found this place, and now you can set me free!"

John immediately realized that this voice belonged to the legendary warrior Aike, and it was coming from the direction of Aike's statue.

John's hand was tightly gripping the Book of the Astral Realm.

Under the current circumstances, it was unclear whether Aike was a friend or foe.

He had to be prepared for battle; if Aike truly was an ally, there would be no need for conflict.

But if Aike turned out to be an enemy, the preparations John was making could be life-saving.

"You don't need to be so tense! If I were your enemy, I could have attacked you in the illusion of the ancient battlefield!"

Aike's voice came again, this time much closer to John.

"I am your ally, at least in the fight against the Mysterious Sage! This time, I will not fail; I will not be sealed within a statue by the Mysterious Sage again!"

Aike appeared before John, his eyes gleaming with blue light, and he looked at John with a determined gaze.
