Chapter 425: Volume 8: Gathering of Wind and Clouds, - 13: Mysterious Guest
With a casual lift of his hand, the Light Flame Technique slowly rose in the stone room. The newly joined mage hardly spoke any unnecessary words. Komer had interacted with him twice, but they hadn’t exchanged more than ten sentences in conversation. Apart from knowing each other’s names and places of origin, Komer hadn’t gleaned any information about the mage.
However, Komer didn’t care about that. As long as he could stay in the Caucasus, nothing else mattered.
Newman was now standing in the middle of the stone room’s wall, his gaunt body casting a somewhat hunched shadow on the mottled ground, adding a touch of desolation to the room.
But at this moment, Newman’s heart surged with excitement. A power imprint was overlaid on his palm, and his hand had already pressed on the precisely calculated spot. A violent trembling sensation transmitted to the feet of everyone in the stone room, as if a severe earthquake had occurred, and the room seemed to shake.
Komer’s face paled slightly. If this fellow’s calculations were off, it would be a terrible injustice if this group ended up as unintended casualties.
Fortunately, the stone room only shook violently for a while. Apart from some dust falling, there were no other abnormalities. Everyone’s gaze was fixed on the stone wall as a crack widened from thin to thick. It became increasingly apparent and finally split open slowly, revealing a huge secret path entrance. The strong magic breath came rushing at them, so powerful that even Komer, standing at the very back, could feel the devouring force of the magic power.
Almost simultaneously, three "Light Bead Flame Cannons" were conjured in the air. At the moment when the dark shadows were about to engulf everyone, they exploded suddenly. While the "Light Bead Flame Cannons" burst forth, three mages chanted spells, casting Light Series magic in rapid succession. Their displays unfolded before everyone’s eyes, and Komer, not wanting to be outdone, cast "Holy Light Illumination," brightening the entire stone room as if it were day.
The Dark Devouring Force, which had spilled out, finally recoiled under the strong retaliation of the light magic. It was like a struggle between two giants, darkness and light, and in the end, darkness became formless, and light enveloped the entire stone room, extending all the way to the opened stone wall.
