Manager’s Hall.

Shawn’s figure slowly seated itself on the Iron Throne at the front. As his immense magic power infused into it, the previously rusted Iron Throne transformed into a series of black iron-forged metal chairs. The dirty marks on its surface gradually dissipated, and arcane runes began to manifest on the back of the long chair. The marking of the runes extended down to the floor, followed by clusters of ghostly blue flames emerging in the central area of the Manager’s Hall. The dust-covered carpet burned into ashes, revealing a hexagram array with a diameter of around fifteen meters.

"Activate Divine Format Law!"

"Take over Maze Lock [Stellar Light] permissions!"

A majestic three-dimensional projection appeared in the center of the Manager’s Hall, depicting Candlefort’s entire three-dimensional pattern as if it were a holographic image, encompassing everything around it. The intense battles on Candlefort’s high walls could be clearly observed.

The sky above Candlefort.

As Shawn took over Candlefort’s Maze Lock permissions, soon all the activated Plantation Guards, Statue Legions, Construct Subordinates, etc., stopped operating, but some Spiritual Bodies already polluted by Evil Object still attacked others.

"Activate regional permanent spells!"

"Activate triggered enhancement spells!"

At this moment, Shawn’s consciousness has already linked to the elemental channel underground in Candlefort. As the energy pool continuously draws Earth Vein Energy and Elemental Energy, each spell seemed to refresh, flashing over all friendly units within the regional scope.

The spells enhanced by Maze Lock are different from those cast by others. They have effects close to constant and are basically hard to break, directly ignoring the conventional dispel magic effects.

Essentially, once you enter this area, you enjoy the enhancement of Maze Lock, and if enemies want to eliminate it, they can only directly attack the Maze Lock itself.

Maze Lock similarly has a Casting Level.

The effect is roughly equivalent to a number close to the average value between the creator of the Maze Lock and the present Manager. Normally, any spell activated by Maze Lock enhancement triggers is equivalent to Casting Level 30 or above.

Candlefort’s Maze Lock is already severely damaged because it hasn’t been maintained for too long.

Under normal circumstances.

Maze Lock generally can only run independently for one hundred years. After one hundred years, if no one maintains it properly, it will trigger automatic decay and barrier stability basic judgments once a year. Many Maze Locks not maintained often disappear completely after two hundred years, eventually causing an energy explosion, forming a ’Chaos Magic District’ or ’Death Magic District’.
