Chapter 1624 - 1624 935 Beneath the Unknown Castle_2

Chapter 1624: Chapter 935: Beneath the Unknown Castle_2 Chapter 1624: Chapter 935: Beneath the Unknown Castle_2 Ariel, with an expression of sudden realization, blurted out: “So, these cells were not built by the Sanders Family themselves, but already existed here?”

“Yes, I’m afraid the Sanders Family built their family castle on top of these underground ruins, just like the place where our ancestors sleep.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly, his tone growing more serious: “In other words, the threat we face is not only the magic traps set up by the Sanders Family themselves, but also those left behind by the original inhabitants.”

“Manipulating the magic traps left behind by the original inhabitants? Is that possible?”

Ariel looked blank, her face full of disbelief.

“For ordinary powerhouses, it is indeed difficult to achieve, but for some Tier 5 Magic Instructors who specialize in traps, it is not completely impossible.”

Jasper Richardson picked up the conversation, chiming in: “After all, most magic traps are not as secure as higher-level magic restrictions, and due to their age and disrepair, it’s not unreasonable for them to be manipulated and transformed.”

Pausing for a moment, Jasper furrowed his brows and added: “For example, the space-based magic trap we just encountered clearly bore the aura of a Dwarf Clan magic trap, simple and violent, belonging to the extraordinary power type.”

“I didn’t expect the Sanders Family to hide so deeply, their family castle actually has an ancient Dwarf ruin underneath it, and they have even made such alterations. This is something even the Royal Family doesn’t know.”

Ariel took a slow, deep breath, her starry eyes filled with a solemn expression, marveling: “It really is beyond our wildest expectations.”

“Hehe, foolish little princess, you’re just realizing this now?”

Harrison’s mocking voice rose again: “Back then, in order to completely conquer these ancient ruins left behind by the Dwarf Clan, countless members of the Sanders Family went through many battles and suffered heavy losses.”

“Due to the sharp decrease in the number of powerhouses, it even alarmed His Majesty the Heroic King, but fortunately, the then family head managed to resolve it by offering the noble sacrifice of slaying dragons.”

“After all, the first head of the Sanders Family was a genuine Tier 5 Powerhouse and the Royal Family’s chief magic trap expert, so his strength goes without saying.”

Harrison’s voice took on a hint of pride as he continued to describe the great achievements of his ancestors, as if Leo Ray and the others were already as good as dead, showing no concern that they might leak this information.

“It is because of the transformation made by the first head of the family that our Sanders Family is able to use the magic traps left behind by the Dwarf Clan and even extend it to the surface.”

“Over time, our family head and the top powerhouses we hired have continued to transform these traps, and that’s how we have reached this scale.”

“In other words, all the magic traps left by the Dwarf Clan are now under the control of our family head.”

“You should know that, compared to the wise Elf and other races, although the Dwarf Clan is not skilled in magic, their lifespan is more than five times greater than that of humans, and their magic technology and top mages are absolutely unparalleled among human countries!”

At this point, Harrison started laughing arrogantly again: “Now you know, don’t you? You all are undoubtedly going to die this time!”

“So this is what you’re relying on?”

Leo Ray raised his eyebrow, clearly not taking the other party’s threats to heart.

Having said that, Leo Ray’s gaze moved to the two Tier 5 magic powerhouses under his command.

There was no need to mention the tall and imposing Redclaw, who, as one of the Dragon Clan, had slumbered in Firsdale City for over six hundred years.

Although asking a dragon’s age was a very impolite thing to do, Leo Ray estimated that Redclaw’s age was at least a thousand years old, with experience far beyond that of a human mage.

As for Jasper Richardson, the half-elf ancestor, who was also over five hundred years old and had once lived with the magically adept Elf Tribe for a long time, he was naturally no ordinary person either.

In other words, what makes ordinary human mages helpless is not a threat to the two magic powerhouses under his command.

“Harrison, if you’re relying on these Dwarf Clan magic traps, you might as well just wait for me to stand before you.”

Leo Ray took back his gaze and spoke lightly: “Don’t bring these trivial tricks out here to embarrass yourself.”

“What a presumptuous little bastard! Just a despicable Otherworlder, yet you dare boast here!”Harrison snorted coldly, and the surrounding area of Leo Ray and his group was suddenly filled with chaotic magical particles.

Without a doubt, it meant that the other party had activated another magic trap.

However, this time, the magical particles only vibrated for a moment before dissipating like a deflated balloon, as if nothing had happened.

“What’s going on?”

Harrison’s astonished voice immediately echoed through the dark dungeon corridor as he saw the magic trap lose its effect.

“Unfortunately, while you were just introducing your great accomplishments to us, the magic traps nearby have been removed,” replied Leo Ray while raising an eyebrow. He looked at the Red Night and Jasper Richardson, who had just cleared the magic trap, and nodded in satisfaction.

Then Leo Ray waved his hand to signal his subordinates to continue forward while raising his voice: “It seems that you haven’t fully controlled the magic traps of the Dwarf Clan. You can only activate a part of them; otherwise, they wouldn’t be so easily removed.”

“You despicable Otherworlder! Don’t get too cocky!”

Harrison’s voice carried a mix of exasperation, amusement, and contempt: “If you think that the foundation of my Sanders family after 600 years is merely at this level, then you are gravely mistaken.”

“Let me tell you, the arrogant ones, this is just insignificant appetizers. The real drama hasn’t begun yet!”

Harrison’s voice became even colder: “As the family head of the Sanders family, one of the three great aristocracies of Coldflame, I will make you pay for showing contempt towards this ancient family!”

“Don’t get me wrong; my contempt isn’t for the Sanders family but only for you,” Leo Ray said without continuing the verbal spat. Instead, he ordered his subordinates to speed up their pace.

After mastering the Dwarf Clan’s magic traps’ patterns, Leo Ray and his group encountered virtually no obstacles, marching through the darkness and damp corridors, and soon arrived at the dungeon’s end.

Through the introduction of Red Night and Jasper Richardson, Leo Ray learned that the Dwarf Clan’s magic traps weren’t so easy to remove. Many traps were interconnected, and their removal could have a domino effect on the rest.

Though not as ingenious as those of the wiser Elf Tribe, the traps could still be considered works of art.

However, the forced modification by the Sanders family caused the originally combined magic traps to disintegrate, not only greatly reducing their power but also making them extremely fragile.

Even so, through the sporadic splashes of blood, shattered floors, and scattered bone debris, it was clear that these magic traps had indeed caused considerable harm. It seemed more fitting to call this a graveyard than a dungeon.

“It’s hard to imagine how many powerful people have been buried here in despair, but definitely not including me,” Leo Ray shrugged and nodded at Taylor, who understood and immediately unleashed a dazzling sword light. The thick dungeon door disintegrated directly into broken pieces on the ground.

Although the door had a Tier 5 Magic Prohibition seal, it was not very sophisticated and had already been removed by Red Night and Jasper Richardson working together.

Before this, Red Night and Jasper Richardson had successively removed several magic traps that created surging waves. Otherwise, this place would no doubt have been submerged.

“I must say, for ordinary powerhouses who come here, it is indeed like going through purgatory,” Leo Ray sighed in his heart as he stepped out of the dungeon ruins’ door, surrounded by his subordinates.

However, the scene they faced next was even more unexpected for Leo Ray and his group.
