Chapter 309: A Wall with Legs?
Chapter 309: A Wall with Legs?
A moment after the two beasts fell on the ground, a precise amount of mana surged out of Elliot’s hands, crystallized into the formed of a single bright blue lance that carried incomparable might and sharpness, and that lance pierced through the head of the fire-tailed fox and stabbed into the chest of the evil ogre.
As blood gushed out of its chest, the ogre, who knew that the lance had shattered its icy cold heart and it didn’t have more than a few moments to live, looked at Elliot with resentment and great anger and mouthed off some words.
Before it could even finish what it wanted to say, it died.
Every sign of life left the ogre in the middle of its devilish speech!
Elliot narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
He didn’t understand what it had said before succumbing to its wounds.
However, he had memorized whatever it had said.
As long as he keeps on doing that and memorizes the words spoken by every monster capable of speech that he comes across, he will undoubtedly learn their language!
Elliot was planning to learn the language of this place, and for that, he needed to memorize all the characters he might come across and all the words he hears in the Ash Grey World.
Moreover, once he learns the language spoken by the inhabitants of this planet, he will understand the last words of the ogre.
Elliot proceeded with his adventure.
He took off the ring of chaos from the four monsters he had just killed and tossed them in his subspace.
Then, he started skinning the three fire-tailed foxes.
Their fur was an excellent material. Clothes made out of them could keep a person warm in the coldest of places. With clothes made of their fur on him, he and anyone could venture into forbidden zones so cold that humans and magicians alike freeze to their death just after taking a step inside. This item would help him set foot inside places mostly unexplored.
It was also an extraordinary artifact as fire would surge out of it the moment a person pours energy into it.
It took him three minutes to skin them all, and he stored all the furs he got into his spatial ring.
He looked at the ogre enthusiastically, and soon he turned disappointed. His godly right eye of wisdom told him that the ogre was a piece of garbage. It was stronger than the foxes, but it was far less valuable. It had just died, but it was already rotting. That was the price it had to pay for becoming a subordinate of the Spider Goddess.
When he realized that its boss was a demonic god, Elliot’s eyes turned sharp.
“From the looks of it, the unholy elves build this underground necropolis to gather subordinates and offer sacrifices to the demonic goddess, the spider queen. But there is a chance I might be wrong. But if I am right, then destroying this place is the first thing I am going to do, heh, heh, heh.”
Elliot laughed like a devil, his eerie laughers roaring throughout area 11.
The very thought of fucking the grand plans of a demonic goddess excited and made happy every fiber of his being.
He turned around and dashed towards the area which had the wall with carving on it.
When he reached that area, the wall was no longer there!
Elliot’s brows furrowed, indicating that he was feeling highly displeased.
‘Why is it no longer here?’
‘Where the heck did it go?’
‘How did it disappear?’
‘Did the wall sprout out legs and walk away after I left?’
Although he knew that he was being ridiculous, that seemed to be the case.
The wall with the magical carvings had made a run for it, but it was to be somewhere within area 15 and area 11.
Elliot started searching for it, and after five minutes, he saw the wall in area 15, which was the very spot where he fought the wyverns.
The moment he reached up to it, it vanished, disappearing from his sight. Elliot stood at his spot in silence. Though, his rapidly twitching eye showed how annoyed he was feeling at the moment.
‘That damn wall is it intentionally poking fun at me?!’
Why would it disappear just when he got close to him, otherwise?!
‘Next time I see it, I am going to break it apart.’
He instantly shook his head.
‘No, I can’t do that.’
‘It’s my only gateway to area 10. I can’t lose it.’
‘Let’s calm down first.’
Elliot breathed in and breathed out for a couple of seconds.
After he calmed down and his mind cleared up, he thought about the situation with a clear head.
He was sure that the wall didn’t have any capabilities of running away.
Why?
He had used his godly right eye of wisdom on it the very first time he came across it.
The wall only had the ability to open a portal to the next area, nothing else.
Why it was teleporting to different areas was very likely a mechanism of this place!
Elliot connected the dots and concluded that the wall with the magical carving on it could only stay at a single area for about six minutes before it would teleport to a random area. But it would teleport to a spot within area 15, area 14, area 13, area 12, or area 11.
There was a high chance that he would get to the next place as long as he got to the wall within four minutes.
Elliot headed out in search of it once again.
A minute later, he reached area 14, and there was it, standing tall in the middle of it.
He was sure that it was the same wall as it not only had the same carvings on it but also contained the same functions.
He jumped forward and landed next to it.
This time it didn’t disappear even after he got extremely close to it!
