Reincarnated As A Demonic Dragon, I Formed A Pact With A Beautiful Female Lord

261 Mythical SS-Class Creature

They searched the surroundings but did not find anything of value. They didn’t stay there for long and made their way to the next area.

Everyone was vigilant. This area was the puppet manufacturing workshop. Although the Fire Elemental Lord had told them that all the puppets had been destroyed in the battle, they still remained on their guard.

Su Wan sent a team of giant lizards to scout the area first. After confirming that there was nothing to be afraid of, they let the heroes enter. The Lords then followed, with Su Wan at the rear.

Hundreds of five-meter-tall giant puppets were stacked neatly in the room. They had different appearances. Some were human-like, and others were anima-shaped. There was even a puppet that looked like a giant bird with huge wings on its back.

!!

No matter how different they looked, it was clear that they were created for only one purpose: to kill.

Sharp blades were embedded in different parts of their bodies. Even though these magic puppets had been damaged by the passage of time, one could still imagine their former glory and power.

Fortunately, this was only a secondary door. If these puppets could move, the place wouldn’t be classified as a “Medium Threat” area.

The main sect was the one that was highly dangerous. Did it have giant, mechanical warriors? Even thinking about it sent chills down their backs.

Su Wan made up her mind in that instant. She would not explore the main sect of the mythical ruin until she got stronger.

The soldiers that were examining the puppets returned to report. “No gems or cores can be found in the bodies of these puppets.”

They weren’t any nearer to the key. Su Wan gestured for the troops to continue forward. She walked further into the passageway and suddenly stopped in her tracks. Everything had gone silent where she stood. She couldn’t sense the magic in the air.

Su Wan realized that this was the entrance to the Arcana Hall, which forbade any type of magic. She glanced at the map to make sure.

She looked beyond and found special magic puppets. It was also the center of the hall where materials were stored.

From what they knew, this area was guarded by the special magic puppets that would come to life the moment they crossed the threshold.

“Does the anti-magic barrier affect you?” asked Su Wan.

“No,” said Xu Yuan. “But it will weaken the ability I have cast on you.”

“As expected!” Su Wan, Shi Linglong, and Zhao Qingrong blurted out disdainfully at the same time.

The anti-magic zone was the enemy to all mages, specifically because they couldn’t cast their magic spells. It would leave them exposed and defenseless.

“Lizards, go and investigate the area!” Su Wan commanded. “If you encounter an enemy, try to lure it outside this barrier to us. Don’t try to fight them alone.” She turned to the rest of the troops. “The rest of you, await my orders!”

The giant lizards disappeared into the dark hall. There was the sound of a fight. However, the giant lizards did not come back. There were no survivors. Su Wan asked Xu Yuan to resurrect them.

The hall was dimly lit with a narrow entrance. It looked like a hungry monster opening up its mouth to swallow them all.

Su Wan frowned. She couldn’t figure out how strong the enemy was. She had an idea!

The anti-magic barrier only deactivated any magic that was cast, but she could still use the Night Devil Bees. They should be able to fly in and out without a problem.

The Night Devil Bees were sent to scout the area ahead. The rest followed slowly after them. The narrow hall widened, and they soon arrived at the Arcana Hall.

The room was around 50 meters tall. The walls were engraved with magical inscriptions. They were of a different language. It was hard to understand what they said.

The area seemed to reflect a time of glory and luxury of the Magic Tower. At the back was the small storage room. That was the group’s ultimate goal.

Before anybody could rejoice, they noticed the magic puppets a few paces away. The shredded corpses of the giant lizards were still scattered around.

The puppets were around five meters tall. Their bodies were made of metal. They glowed faintly, and they looked terrifying. Their arms were thick blades that might have weighed a ton. They even had tails with a sharp blade at the tip. The elbows and knees held small protruding blades that could shred everything in sight.

Xu Yuan used the True Eye of the Demon Dragon.

Su Wan had difficulty breathing. Her mouth went dry. There was small consolation that the Heavy Blade Warriors could only inflict physical damage. They were already charging toward her group with small, mechanical steps.

The thick blades that were their arms could probably split the walls. Su Wan’s mind whirred. She was trying to think of a strategy to stack.

Without the help of magic, it was close to impossible to defeat these puppets. However, Xu Yuan’s Demonic Dragon’s Blessing, even in its weakened state, might give them a chance.

Su Wan made up her mind. “Battleaxe Warriors, attack! Others, make space for the warriors to fight!”

The Battleaxe warriors, the giant lizards, and the Night Devil Bees launched their attacks.
