C444 The Ancient Guardian(2)
But why is great always with darkness? If at the peak of the Holy Mountain, I can't see my father, then Suk's lie would be proven. Suk successfully went through the test of the ancient guarder and obtained the supreme power in his life. However, he did not break the old and make a new one, but he would not easily give up that supreme power. Whether Suk had done something unforgivable or not, the answer would be revealed.
I took a deep breath. Although the air at the top of the Holy Mountain is thin, the cold air still helped me stabilize my emotions. I turned around and looked at the platform at the peak of the Holy Mountain. In the middle of the platform, there was a circular altar, and beside the altar stood three stone statues. They formed a triangle. Behind the altar was a door sealed by nine stone pillars. The rough stone pillars were crisscrossed.
Three stone statues! My heart sank. Does this mean that there are only three warriors guarding the sacred mountain of Arreat? What about the other three? That f * cking description once again appears in my mind. There seems to be no more reasonable explanation. During the offering of the undying king, Enotec clearly said the names of six people. But there were only three stone statues here.
I walked around the huge altar once, the altar was filled with incomprehensible symbols. Even though I couldn't recognize those symbols, that sacred and dignified feeling... It made me realize that this was a magic array set up by the ancestors of the Arreat.
Although I am also a warlock, I don't know much about the origin of magic. I only vaguely remember that Talitha had set up a magic array before, but compared to this array, it is much simpler.
At the center of the altar, there is a stone tablet with ancient words engraved on it. I do not recognize any of those ancient characters, just like those strange symbols in Blind-Seers's tomb. There were two holes below the stone tablet, which seemed to coincide with the shape of the token of the Elders Guild.
I stared at the two square holes and pondered for a long time. This is clearly a multiple choice question. Placing the token in different places will result in different results.
Choose to persist for a minute or choose a complete victory? Of course I choose the latter, but which hole should I place the token in?
Just as he was hesitating, the skinny Rock Demon grabbed the token from the Elder Council and quickly ran to the center of the altar, throwing the dark golden token into the right hole.
This bastard, I suddenly have the urge to break my heart. How can he make the decision for me? It's the opposite! Rebellion!
"We are the souls of Nefarin, the ancient warriors. We are willing to defend the Arreat Sacred Mountain where the World Stone is located. Very few people are qualified to stand in front of the World Stone, and very few people can truly understand its secrets. You have chosen to enter the Temple of God where the World Stone is located. Before you enter, you must defeat us! Before you completely defeat us, you cannot leave the range of the Holy Altar. Once you leave, we will judge that you have failed... You will not be qualified to enter the World Stone Fortress." A solemn and deep voice rang out, it was an ancient language, it is slightly different from the pronunciation of the modern era, luckily I can understand the general meaning.
The mutated Rock Demon made the right choice. My test content is to defeat the ancient guarder on this altar.
A strange light lit up on each of the symbols on the altar. The surface of the three stone statues began to peel off. Three extremely powerful auras descended from the sky, suppressing me so much that I almost couldn't breathe.
Three people, just three people! My father didn't appear!
The first guardian held a pair of axes in his hands. He had no armor on his upper body, and his strong muscles were covered with blue veins. His head was covered with a flaming red scarf, making it hard for others to see his hair color.
The second guardian held a long battle-axe in his hand and was extremely tall. He wore a bright silver light armor and had short maroon hair.
The third guard wore a flaming red holy armor, and he held a huge sword in his right hand. He held a medium-sized red metal shield in his left hand, and he had long black hair.
Is this the enemy who joined forces to kill my father? "Where are Marif and Gandhi?" I shouted loudly.
"Ah!" The ancient guarder on my upper body let out a battle cry, and a powerful sound wave knocked me down to the ground.
They weren't prepared to answer my question. Once their petrified bodies regained their mobility, they immediately attacked.
"Hmph!" The guard holding the long-handled battle axe leaped up. His domineering aura sealed my body, making me unable to move an inch. The gigantic ax came crashing down with a thunderous force.
The guard wearing the fiery red armor was like a rapidly spinning hedgehog, rolling over from my right. That stance was similar to my self-created skill, Whirlwind. Once he got close, the fate of being minced into mincemeat would be unavoidable.
97, 97, 98 are the levels of the three ancient warriors that I have determined. Even if I am still the man standing at the peak, in my long life, this will also be the most difficult battle. When I face Baal, Talitha, who is a level 100 God, is standing beside me. When facing the Lady of Pain, that powerful goddess has been holding back her strength. Her goal was not to completely defeat me. And these three ancient warriors' attacks would not hold back at all. No matter who the challenger is, they will not underestimate their opponent. They would not be anxious, nor would they show mercy. They would go all out to judge the challenger's value fairly.
"I can't win with my immortal body. If I am cleaved by the axe or crushed by the sword, then I won't have the face to continue fighting to the death. That can only prove that I am too weak and don't even have the qualifications to be the patriarch. Not to mention entering the Holy Mountain to face the undying king." In that split second, I made up my mind, I want to win this battle fair and square. I don't want to rely on the shameless ability Talitha gave me.
