Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 2400: The much-anticipated capping

The twinkling stars were becoming dimmer and dimmer, and the dark blue sky was already tinged with white.

On the towering Dawn Tower, the Dawn Stone on the top of the tower began to rotate.

Dawn is coming.

On the east side of the Tower of Dawn, on the top of a shorter cliff by the sea, there appeared a light blue magic tower inlaid with countless diamonds and star stones.

Although the top of the tower has not been officially closed yet and the gems on the magic tower have not yet shone with any light, the tower is still breathtakingly beautiful.

If you look closely, you can see that the light blue color of this magic tower actually comes from a mural painted with a special magic metal liquid!

Stars and earth, sky and ocean, exotic flowers and plants… Although it is only a light blue, one can tell at a glance what is depicted.

The painter's artistic talent may not be that strong, but he must have an extremely good understanding of these existences and have his own insights and understandings of them.

Then, she also has a mental power that is very good at making people understand her cognition.

Even the most outstanding painters find it difficult to let everyone understand his thoughts and perceptions at the first sight of his paintings...Painting will always be an art with a threshold.

But mental power can make people understand in an instant.

Although the mountains are not as high as the one where the Tower of Dawn is located, the spire of the tall magic tower still slightly touches the clouds.

Standing on the top of the tower, you can look up and see the Dawn Stone in the distance becoming brighter and brighter.

Russell took a deep breath... and raised his hand slightly under Carpenter's sympathetic gaze.

He controlled the urge to turn his head to look higher up at the huge whale that was almost merging into the sky, and began to recite the final spell loudly and clearly.

On the circular crystal terrace above Purvi's broad back, Hill looked at Russell with admiration as he put aside all panic and chanted the spell bravely and resolutely.

"It should be okay, right?" Even Lister felt that his core was filled with sympathetic data.

It was not because of Hill’s focused gaze, but because of the people all over the mountains below.

I don’t know what the undead are thinking.

Obviously, the most important thing now is to take advantage of the collapse of the Tower of Despair and the guilty consciences of the major magic towers to integrate the various forces in this world, but they all rushed back after hearing the news that Russell's magic tower was capped today.

If they had not sent all those who should be sent to the City of Death in the previous few days, and the rest had not been sent to the Alchemy Square for hawking... Of course, the more crucial thing is that if the person himself does not open the door, the enlarged square is almost firmly sealed on the ground and cannot be transported away by outsiders.

These undead simply left the Tower of Despair to Rut and his students to deal with, and all rushed back. When everything was over, they would probably only be able to collect the bodies of those guys.

Although Ruth looks a little better than before, the undead have told him that the proud journey to the alien space in the Tower of Despair is actually a suicide mission.

Although the great wizard had his suspicions that the undead were trying to trick him, several days had passed and there was still no sign of the Tower of Despair.

Ruth, who had some understanding of the other dimension and knew that there was a 90% chance that it was impossible for humans to survive normally in it, truly believed the words of the undead.

After all, he didn't think that the Tower of Despair had that kind of luck... How could the luck of the Heinarson family be the same as that of the Tower of Despair that followed the Outer Gods?

Another point is that the big secret of the Tower of Despair was once mentioned to him by someone in a very proud tone.

Although what the other party said was a little too... powerful, Root could still understand it. A full charge of energy was only enough for hiding in the Tower of Despair for three days before having to return to the main material plane.

Even if what they told Ruth were rewritten lies, but...how to put it, Ruth was deceived not because he was too stupid, but because he and the people in their faction trusted their own people and misinterpreted the prophecy.

But, in fact, we cannot say that they are stupid. Instead, when the time comes, they want to seize every opportunity.

Everyone was already prepared for total annihilation!

It's just that his death was a bit unfair... If it were like the Defense Tower, the predecessors like the Black Mystery Tower would have died a worthy death.

But Root is actually a very suspicious person, which can be seen from the fact that he cares for Gilbert but never stops monitoring him.

In fact, he was quite wary of those who left the Tower of Darkness and entered the Tower of Despair... What if others felt that life in the Tower of Despair was better and instead hoped that he, the remnant, would die quickly?
Therefore, when he communicated with these people, he would use some soul-searching magic arrays.

In fact, the performance of using this kind of magic array is very obvious, that is, you often ask "is it" or "is it right".

Ruth did not try to hide his behavior, so he was quite frank.

Therefore, when the people in the Tower of Despair communicated with him, they actually told him more truth.

However, these words were based on a false lie that even Root himself believed in… Although they were all true, the truth in the illusion had no meaning.

Only at this time can Ruth have a little confidence.

Now, it is impossible for him to make any progress on his path as a mage.

Mages are very confident beings. Only when they believe that they can make things happen with a wave of their hands can they control and utilize the laws.

But Ruth began to doubt everything about himself.

The only reason he didn't collapse from self-doubt was because the existence of the undead allowed him to take revenge quickly.

How could a Ruth like this still believe in the old saying that every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor?

He just wanted to kill everyone who was related to the Tower of Despair... it would be best to eradicate them completely.

Therefore, if the undead were not sufficiently prepared, Ruth would definitely kill all those who were unable to defend themselves in the Alchemy Square.

These days, William has been a little worried about this matter.

It is impossible for the Undead to protect these people forever. As long as we are sure that they don’t have any serious problems and are not affected by the Fruit of Wisdom, we have to release them.

However, now those who have managed to survive in the Tower of Despair are begging to be imprisoned for a few hundred more years.

Everyone knows that once they go out, as long as they are not in the sight of the undead, they will have to face a Nine-Ring Master who is about to lose his mind.

Even those eight-ring mages who passed the camp test... However, among these people, except for one or two who advanced by their own ability, the others were obviously downgrading.

There was no strong reaction, just a few less days passing by without any awareness.

If someone hadn't suddenly discovered that they had lost the feedback of the laws... Although the magic power was sealed, the connection between the spiritual sea and the laws could not be closed, it was just that the magic could not be used.

William was really convinced about this matter.

At first he just thought that Hill was going for the fruit of wisdom, but he didn't expect that even those seemingly innocent beneficiaries were included.

Hill is truly a man who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment.

Although Shar also has a little interest and wants to study this thing... their little Dark Night will never be able to change his ill will towards mages in his lifetime.

Shar was particularly happy when she thought about making countless mages fight for a mushroom and finally collapse together.

But William knew that with Hill around, he would definitely not let Shar reveal the existence of this thing to the Toril wizards and bring them here to mess with the world.

This is certainly not for the sake of the Toril Mage, but it is his duty as a child of nature.

If it was just a small matter, Hill might still play with Shar, but... in the world of the Styx, under the nose of the World Tree, even if Hill didn't like many of the mages in Toril, he wouldn't do anything so outrageous.

Of course, William himself would not let this happen... His love for Shar and his bottom line must not be broken and there is no conflict.

However, even if Shar understood William's thoughts and was willing to make concessions for him, William would not directly refuse, but took out Hill.

Anyway, all Shar wanted was a reason.

Could she not know that these were things William would not let her do in the Undead's territory?
However, Shar never hides her occasional malice in front of William.

They were an interesting couple, but when Hill was approached, he just wanted to eat some hawthorn.

The reason why William came here was naturally because the crystal flower potion was specifically targeted at Mrs. Fungus.

After this incident, no one knows whether Lady Fungus will hate the undead... Normally, the evil demon with a chaotic demeanor would never do that, unless she is sure that she cannot deal with the undead.

The undead are not afraid of fungal parasites. If they find something wrong, they will simply destroy the elemental body and start over again.

But William's allies in so many worlds are afraid.

He hoped that Hill could provide him with some crystal flower potion.

Hill, who had been prepared for this and had asked Crystal Flower, of course agreed.

What he wants is for the entire multiverse to be blessed by the existence of the Crystal Flower.

In that case, even if the crystal flower really grows bigger than the entire Trahil as Aglaia said, it will allow her to maintain her sanity.

Although that was many years later.

As for the other question William asked…what does that have to do with Hill?
It was impossible for him to persuade Root, nor would he let his students do so.

He cannot empathize with other people's sorrow, but he will not say disgusting words that are meaningless.

As for the future of those people in the Tower of Despair...it all depends on their fate~
Just as it was destined to be for Ruth.

Hill leaned forward slightly...the laughter of the undead could be heard clearly even here.

After all, there is strength in numbers, and the buzzing sound is almost like a tsunami when the number of people reaches this level.
