Chapter 216: Search: Part 1


Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


The structure of the golden-domed building was simple


There was no fence, and only a silver line marking the ground. Faint silver glowed and flowed within the line. The entire building was simply surrounded by a circle of this silver line to demarcate it from the other buildings.


Lin Sheng looked down at the lines, squinted and slowly took a step forward as he pulled one of the axes from his back and tossed it gently at the line.


*Clack.*


The ax connected with the line, tumbled for a bit, and lay still on the ground.


“No problems there.”


Lin Sheng looked up and slowly crossed the silver line as he made his way before the building.


The main door was in pure gold, on it were ma.s.sive symbols about pa.s.sing through two gates.


The symbols had the silhouette of a man’s face, and on the head were two horns as two ram-like horns grew from the back of his head. There were no eyes within the eyes socket, giving out a bizarre, chilling aura of terror.


Lin Sheng paused for a bit before putting his hand onto the door and pushed hard.


*Clack.*


The door seemed to be locked, as a metallic clang was heard.


Lin Sheng pulled his hand back and took a step back as he shot out a powerful kick.


*Bam!!*


The door shook under the ma.s.sive impact, and as silver glint flashed through it, it did not budge.


Lin Sheng continued kicking it for about half a dozen times. Not only did the door not budge, it felt like it was getting st.u.r.dier by the moment.


Frowning, Lin Sheng looked around the building as he started to circle the research center.


After a good half a circle later, he was at the back of the building and found a round platform covered with a yellow curtain.


The platform seemed to be made out of grey stone, and engraved on it were countless intricate circuits and symbols with a layer of translucent crystal enshrouding it.


And what piqued Lin Sheng’s interest was, there was a transparent connected corridor between the platform and the building. A completely sealed gla.s.s walkway and the entrance was that round platform.


“This seems like… a back door? A backdoor that requires special authorization?” Lin Sheng raised the yellow curtain around the platform and observed the engraved circuits and symbols.


He was not the clueless idiot from the past. After taking in a large number of memories, he had some knowledge about these circuits and symbols. After all, while the sanctum mainly focused on sacred power as its core system, but within the Ashen Seals and the summoning rituals, they were still based on basic runic symbols and magical circuits.


It could be said that the Ashen Seal was based and expanded from the spellcasting system.


Lin Sheng made his way to the front of the platform and peered inside.


The pathway was empty, with only some black bloodstains on the ground. It was so faint that if he did not focus he would have missed it.


He slowly made his way in as he pulled out two axes from his back.


The pathway was about ten meters long and he quickly made his way through it as he entered a rather empty hall.


Looking up from the hall, it was like the main hall of an ancient temple. There was a faint golden glow from the top of the dome, and the source of the light was a large round light screen on it.


On both sides of the hall were rows of long rectangular pillars, and at the top of them were stripes that looked like claws.


A bright red triangular cloth hung on every pillar with golden trims on their side. On the cloth was a large four-horned human head, just like the one on the door.


“Another one…”


He gripped his axes tight as he walked into the hall. In the center of the hall, there were a few overturned black stone tables and cutleries scattered all over the ground. Some of the plates had crusty food remnants on them.


“It seemed like the meal was in progress before it was violently disrupted…” Lin Sheng said as he kicked one of the stone chairs. It was heavy, at least a hundred kilograms in weight.


“Even a chair is that heavy?” He frowned in slight confusion. It did not seem like it was meant for a normal person’s use.


He then looked around. There were dark shadows between the pillars of both sides.


From the shadow, he could see a number of sealed doors. On the top of the door were blurry portraits, probably indicating who the owner of the room was.


Lin Sheng circled around the hall and found in the corner was a few gorgeous form-fitting black dress, an intricately sewn cloak, two wooden staves, and a few pretty but useless vases.


There was nothing else other than those.


“It seems like there’s nothing in the central hall, and the good stuff is probably inside the rooms.


“To think that there’s a square hall inside the round building. There are eight rooms on each side, so sixteen in total…”


Lin Sheng looked around and walked towards the first room on the left.


He paused for a moment as he held his hand out to hold onto the bronze vine-like k.n.o.b and twisted it.


*Clack.*


The door slowly pulled outwards.


The room was simple with only a Greystone platform in it, with its upper sections engraved full of compact runes with all four walls having four large ellipsoid crystals etched in them.


Lin Sheng paused for a moment and realized that there was no danger before he stepped into the room.


*Hiss…*


A red light suddenly lit up in the middle of the platform.


An orb of flames quickly rose from the platform. It was originally the size of a football, but it rapidly expanded and in a blink of an eye, became the size of a man.


Within the flames, a large humanoid creature with four horns charged out towards Lin Sheng with nary a sound.


The humanoid being had dark skin and wore a similarly dark metal armor.


The armor was roughly built, aside from the neck and the waist area with their skull adornments, the rest of the armor was simply linked by simple crisscrossed chains.


The being had legs that resembled a mountain goat, and it wore two silver knee guards with human faces etched on each of them. In its hands was a flaming broadsword in one, with a translucent round s.h.i.+eld in another.


*Clang!!*


Lin Sheng raised his ax to block the blow. As embers flew, he quickly realized that the heat was coming from the sword.


“Ansag! Ansaglinar!” The humanoid monster roared as it slashed in a brutal arc.


It was powerful and was beyond the ability of a Level 3 to block. Only a Level 4 could manage that.


Lin Sheng carefully took a big step back and dodged the slash.


A ma.s.sive amount of heat was emanating from the burning double-edged blade and was quickly heating the room up.


The monster continued its brutal a.s.sault, but its skill was subpar and simply relied on its ma.s.sive strength and speed.


After absorbing so many memories of so many sword masters, these were simply child’s play for Lin Sheng.


He continuously dodged about a dozen blows as he observed the monster’s skillset and abilities as he tried to mutter simple Deviltongue words to try to communicate with the latter.


However, the monster seemed to be without intelligence and was only shouting a few specific words repeatedly as it relentlessly continued its frenzied attacks.
