"That's not right!"
The spells of the prophecy system are often invisible and traceless, but this does not mean that the confrontation between prophecy and counter-prophecy is not intense enough.
Quite the opposite.
On the other side of the Hell Gate Castle, Isaac directly activated the protective barrier of the Flame Castle, powerfully resisting, and even counterattacking, all incoming attempts.
In the depths of the Star Mountains, the red dragon was also different from his previous "looseness". Not only was his eyes bright, but he was also manipulating the magic crystal ball with all his concentration. Even in his secret cave, the concealment effect that distorted the space was exerted one after another. The earth is constantly inspiring.
And with all this...
In the red dragon's flaming vertical pupils, there was another clear look of hesitation.
Something's wrong!
Even if the new "King of Demon Flame" in Hell Gate Castle is really Lord Balor, there is still something wrong!
After all, being good at spell-like abilities, Balor Balrog has truly completed the destiny advancement of Lord Balor Balor, and then mastered legendary spells in the fields of "chaos" and "evil". However, he is not a real spellcaster after all. Even though he may have the extraordinary ability to avoid detection due to the nature of his destiny, it is impossible to fight him to such a fierce level in terms of spell confrontation!
"Two possibilities!"
"Either, in addition to the 'Lord of Demon Flame', there is also a real legendary mage lurking in Hell Gate Castle!"
"Either...there's something wrong with this 'King of Demonic Flames'!"
As for what's wrong...
The red dragon still insists that the Balor Balrog cannot have such a high caster level, unless... this "Barlow Balrog" is not the "true Balor Balrog"!
And either there is another legendary archmage as an ally, or he is not the "True Balor Fire Demon"...
Obviously, this all means that someone is interested in Hell Gate Castle!
And, no matter which possibility is possible, with the power of the previous "Destroying Storm" and the level of this "Prophetic Confrontation"...
Whether it is this person or these people, it is obvious that they are not from ordinary origins!
"This is more interesting!"
As soon as this thought passed by, the red dragon began to think about retreating.
Originally, he deduced that the "Lord of Demonic Flames" might be at the level of the "Barlow Fire Demon Lord", or at least a level close to it. This was why he used the "Immortal" as a disguise to observe it.
But since it is a real legendary mage, or there is such a mage intervening, it is even difficult for him to detect it directly...
He didn't want to be a direct enemy over there!
What's more, even though he is deeply interested in the behind this phenomenon, he has long since gotten rid of the red dragon's endless fighting nature and prefers to hide behind the scenes to observe and control. What he does not lack most is time and patience. Got it!
"It bites hard enough!"
However, although he had the intention to refuse, on the other side, he obviously had no intention of stopping.
The red dragon can clearly tell that the side with the geographical advantage is pushing his detection out of the Hell Gate Fort, and at the same time, it is also conducting reverse capture and detection all the time. You are trying to find out his background!
However, the red dragon was not angry at all.
After all, he, the "Immortal", is on top of other people's nests. How can he not allow others to get angry and fight back?
Of course, although there is no anger, the fierce confrontation with that side in all aspects, the nearly all-pervasive methods there, and the level of magical attainments revealed by that side...
"Which one will it be?"
There are only a few such magical attainments in the entire plane.
And among these few, if we exclude them, it is impossible to have a direct relationship with Hell Gate Castle...
"Is he the same great arcanist who survived the Magic Dynasty like Ovo?"
"Or the great mage from the drow?"
"Or, one of the 'Lords of Symbols' in Karinsei?"
"Or, Lei Loren, the Red Robe Mage Guild, the Dragon Witch Cult and the Dragon Worship Cult, and the Zhentarim Guild..."
I don’t think about it, I don’t think about it yet, this calculation...
The red dragon's eyes couldn't help but flicker.
Of course, after all the calculations, he was ready to retreat, and there was no slowness in his claws.
"I'll give you the 'Despair Impact' first!"
After all, he is an "immortal", so he naturally needs to show off something he is good at.
"Another wave of 'triple misdirection'!"
The red dragon's giant claws drew outlines one after another, and even spit out a dark gem from its stomach.
With the rapid construction of a magic circle, it was combined with the magic crystal ball.
The dark gem ignited spontaneously without fire. The eerie pale flame seemed to completely swallow up all the essence of the dark gem in an instant. The entire gem directly turned into powder and dissipated in the air.
And this secluded flame, with the full operation of the magic circle, flew directly into the magic crystal ball.
The previous step, the flame was projected through the magic crystal ball.
Almost completely connected, the red dragon's giant claws circled again, and waves of light patterns were densely rippled by the heavy magical effects of the cave.
"Um?"
"wrong!"
But at this moment, the red dragon's eyes suddenly jumped again.
He was already solemn enough, but now a look of solemnity, and even a look of deep vigilance, suddenly appeared from the depths of his eyes.
Over there, they not only confronted him head-on and drove him back, but... they also surrounded his retreat at the same time!
Such means...
"It's really interesting!"
Red Dragon instantly streamlined the previously planned list again.
Maybe this one is inferior to him in terms of caster level, but with this level of attainment... he is almost not inferior to him at all!
Moreover, this method of outflanking the retreat revealed a certain magic essence that seemed to directly absorb the aura of his soul...
"burst!"
Without hesitation, one person noticed that this was the "gloomy flame" that was projected in the past, and stopped throwing it towards the front. The red dragon's mind and will suddenly revived.
In the sky above Hell Gate Castle, there are frequencies that cannot be directly heard by the human ear.
The shrill and miserable soul roared like a storm, erupting and radiating in an instant.
At this moment, it was Isaac who was manipulating the magic circle, trying to directly absorb and imprison the consciousness of the offender from behind...
"Despair information flow!"
The person is still in the Flame Castle, but in front of his soul, it seems that he is suddenly attacked by thousands of ghosts.
Even with his willpower, at this moment, his soul felt a chill.
Isaac's eyes suddenly narrowed. Even if it was not the first time he encountered such an impact of information flow, he immediately took precautions and would not be really affected by it, but...
The mental will that manipulated the magic circle and tried to imprison the intruder from behind, but at this moment was unable to continue normal operations amid such an impact.
I can only...look over there helplessly, then shrink back.
While shrinking his head further, another wave of interference effects radiated over him simultaneously.
"immortal person!"
"Owo...?"
But the other side was shrinking, and Isaac did not continue to pursue.
With a wave of his hand, he gradually stabilized the barrier formation of the Flame Castle. He looked up at something, and in his eyes, there were some thoughtful thoughts flickering.
From the death aura that fluctuates in the soul, from the sufficiently high caster level, from the confrontation with him, the extraordinary attainments in the "prophecy field" revealed, combined with the last, that "desperate information flow" "Shock", and this is still the Supreme Forest...
It all shows that this is the one from the Endless Cave!
Isaac was not unprepared for this person's "arrival". He would never think that the waves of the "Elemental Destruction Storm" would not disturb this person.
but……
Although various aspects show that it is indeed the "Immortal" who is detecting the Hell Gate Castle.
but……
Isaac's heart wrinkled slightly again.
If it was the "Immortal" this time, then... what he noticed on the tall tree last time was the same aura of the undead, the same similar caster level, and the same high level of magical attainments, but... He could tell that there were clear differences in the subtleties between the two, so who could it be?
"How about it?"
"Who dares to invade your place at this time?"
Kui Lu's voice came from the side.
She naturally judged that the battle between Isaac and the unknown person was over.
However, when a person is within the barrier of the Flame Castle, it is difficult for her to judge the actual confrontation between the two sides.
"Let him escape."
"However, judging from some phenomena, it seems that it is the one under the endless cave."
Isaac's eyes finally withdrew from looking up, and when he looked at Kui Lu, he thought for a moment, but he didn't hide anything.
"'Immortal' Ovo?"
Even in this regard, Kui Lu already had some predictions.
However, when Isaac pointed directly at this person, her eyes still wrinkled again.
Since Isaac can make such a judgment...he has already had some contact with this lich, so he can recognize him?
Kui Lu originally thought that the northward strategy that would not affect Hell Gate Castle was the first choice, but if Isaac could recognize it directly...
"It's his turn."
"It's normal for him to have detection at this time."
"However, it is not without exceptions."
"I originally judged that this person had a hidden temperament. From this aspect, there is a huge sense of misalignment with this unreasonable method."
"So, although various characteristics can match the 'Immortal', it does not exist. Is there a possibility that someone, wearing the mask of the 'Immortal', will come to visit me!"
Isaac also did not hide this judgment.
No matter who the visitor is, they are all from the evil camp. In this case, they obviously have nothing to do with Kui Lu. Knowing her, there is no problem at all.
However, having said it, Isaac did not want to continue on this topic.
Putting away the expression on his face, he smiled slightly: "However, no matter who he is, after this one time, he will not do it again easily. Ignore him for now, I just talked about 'Drogo Magic' and 'Followers of the Masked King', there is another thing, you decide whether you want to pay attention to it or not depending on the situation."
"Um?"
Isaac changed the subject, and Kui Lu was just right. She didn't want Isaac at first, and turned her attention to the south of the High Forest.
"As Amarinda's beholders and gray dwarves were expelled by the Flagellant Legion, some of my spies sent word that drow were paying close attention to Amarinda and were trying to contact us."
"Some phenomena show that these drow should also be followers of the 'Masked King', and... their purpose is suspected to be pointing to certain dungeons!"
Isaac grafted some of Barrett's discoveries onto the agents of Hellgate Castle.
And when he said this...
When Kui Lu understood what he meant, she frowned in her heart.
The followers of the Masked King came into contact with Amarinda, and then the Hellgate Castle, and the purpose seemed to be pointing to certain dungeons...
Of course she understood that the "certain dungeons" that Isaac mentioned must refer to those drow dungeons ruled by the Spider Queen.
Eilistraee has already judged that the Spider Queen's silence must be real and crucial.
And Eilistraee can make such a judgment. As his brother, it is impossible for Velen to not understand their common mother.
At this time, there is no better time than to break the Spider Queen's faith from the material world.
And if the material world can be completely conquered, but the Spider Queen still doesn't respond...
This may be Velen's final test of the Spider Queen while confirming it!
Once this trial is complete...
The attack may not be limited to the material world!
Of course, Kui Lu hopes to see the Spider Queen disappear completely in silence.
However, if the Spider Queen is replaced by Velen...
The confrontation between Eilistraee and Velen has always existed since the fall.
However, the Dark Maiden's influence in the drow god system is also a minority within a minority. Even now is the best time to attack the Spider Queen sect, but they cannot gather a large-scale force, let alone Concentrate on things in the City of Hidden Hope.
Such reality...
The news about Isaac is naturally excellent.
But... most of the time, they probably can only watch.
"I hope that the reappearance of 'Lemanson City' will awaken the overall consciousness of the dark elves in Mayelita."
"On Dugas' side, the Art Institute's strategy was also a major breakthrough."
"Before these two have any real effect..."
With these flashes of thoughts in her heart, Kui Lu nodded slowly: "I know it. I will continue to keep my contact with you secret and will not hinder your contact with them. What if your target is really the Spider Queen? , you don’t need to consider my thoughts.”
This means...
Isaac could tell that she didn't want to directly set foot in the Northern Underdark.
However, this is not surprising.
The relatively stable existence of the Dark Maiden Corridor relies on Waterdeep City, especially Lyra and Kelben.
But that's it. Last time, the spider queen's claws also reached the corridor of the dark girl.
The overall strength of these followers of Eilistraee, let alone compete with the Spider Queen Sect, is still far behind the Masked King Sect.
In fact, even the "Ancient Eye" and even the "Lady of the Dead" are more influential than him.
Who knows, drow elves, evil is the mainstream!
What's more, the impulsive girl regards all drow gods as enemies, and she has to fight the Spider Queen, Velen, and the Eye of the Ancients... This is naturally difficult to develop!
