Exploring Technology in a Wizard World-Chapter 1437 - 1435: Cutting Off Retreat

Inside the heavenly pit.

After the cumbersome procedures continued for more than ten minutes, they finally come to an end.

Six pairs of mechanical arms on the metal platform lift up diagonally, aiming at a position and start rotating at high speed. The ends of the mechanical arms are embedded with purple crystals, each emitting a beam filled with high-energy particles, precisely colliding at a predetermined point.

The temperature at the collision point rises sharply. In less than three seconds, a dazzling white light explodes, seemingly burning through space.

"On my command, prepare third-level energy, three, two, one, inject!" Emerson shouted at this moment.

"Clack!" A wizard listened to the command and decisively pulled down a red lever.

"Roar!"

Inside the metal platform, it sounded like a beast roared out, the beams emitted from the ends of the six pairs of mechanical arms suddenly increased in diameter, and the collision point light flickered drastically, expanding outward in a violent white flash.

The light expands to a diameter of three meters then stops in time and starts to stabilize, looking as though a white hole has been torn open above the metal platform.

"No traces of the target found, release the trap agent." Emerson glanced at the "inside the hole" and spoke.

Listening to Emerson’s words, Nora stepped forward, reached out, and inserted twelve slender glass tubes filled with liquid into a groove on the metal platform. It was noticeable that the liquid in the glass tubes was brownish, somewhat similar to the liquid Richard once configured on the eleventh underground level.

After the glass tubes were inserted into the groove, the groove quickly sank, and an idle mechanical arm on the metal platform lifted, aimed at the "space hole" and forcefully sprayed a cloud of nearly gray-black deep brown mist.

After waiting for a few seconds, a blurred shadow was seen swiftly dashing through the "space hole", instantly absorbing the deep brown mist.

Nora hesitated little, and once again brought over twelve glass tubes filled with liquid, inserted them into the metal platform groove, and immediately the thirteenth mechanical arm sprayed the same deep brown mist.

"Swipe!"

The blurred shadow appeared again.

Repeating this operation multiple times, the shadow directly approached the inner edge of the "space hole", dimming the entire white "space hole". The blurred shadow greedily absorbed all the sprayed deep brown mist, yet remained cautiously inside the "space hole", not emerging into this world.

Nora continued repeating the operations, and when she drew out a new glass tube filled with liquid for the tenth time or so, she hesitated a bit, did not insert it into the groove, but turned to look at Emerson.

Emerson noticed Nora’s hesitation, raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems the target is very cautious, which matches the clues we previously discovered. In this case, merely using trap agents may not attract the counterpart, let’s use the trap reserve item."

"Alright." Nora nodded, put away the glass tubes, walked to the other side of the metal platform, and with a "clack", pulled down a gray lever.

Immediately, below the "space hole" a coffin-like container rose from the middle of the metal platform as it split open.

The container surface originally flashed with intense energy beams, reaching its highest point, suddenly all extinguished in a "swipe", the top lid slid to the sides revealing a person inside, it was the Chief Judge from the Judgment Court—Level 4 Wizard Theodore Vick, who was previously captured by Richard.

At this moment, Theodore Vick was completely naked, face pale, eyes closed, his body covered with hundreds of surgical scalpel marks and suture scars, seemingly unknown what he had gone through, lying in the coffin-like a deceased, only the occasional rising and falling of the chest indicated not completely dead.

Theodore Vick’s body surface was painted with bizarre patterns, and strange texts written with magic potion, looking like an artwork. Once appeared, the shadow inside the "space hole" instantly underwent a strong reaction, starting to frantically move, hesitating for a moment, suddenly crashing towards the outside of the "space hole".

"Buzz—Boom!"

The air within the twenty-meter deep heavenly pit suddenly stirred, the illumination beam from the crystal lamp above abruptly weakened, a huge figure squeezed out from the "space hole" with some difficulty, descending to the current reality world.

It could be seen the figure resembling an energy octopus, its color amber, most of the volume curled up, over ten meters large, and if completely unfolded, possibly could reach hundreds of meters.

This energy octopus waved a tentacle, eyes densely packed on it, extremely creepy, glancing at could cause a strong concussion to one’s spiritual state, those whose spiritual strength wasn’t high might instantly go insane.

During the tentacle waving, an obscure special fluctuation flashed through the space, immediately followed by somewhat excited, somewhat mechanical voice appearing inside everyone’s mind in the scene—it’s the communication method through spiritual waves, coming from the high spirit from a different dimension.

"Hmm, I seem to smell the mature scent of a high-level soul, though very weak, but indeed a high-level soul, and quite mature, truly an excellent offering. Now, who is summoning me with offerings, and what do they want? Power? Fortune? Or perhaps a long life?" The energy octopus shifted its tentacles, the eyes on it watched the nearest wizard, asked through spiritual waves, "Is it you who sacrifices this offering?"

The queried was a purple-robed wizard, faced with the energy octopus’s words, remained silent, continually manipulating the several metal levers on the metal platform.

Seeing this, the energy octopus with its tentacle eyes continued glancing towards another red-robed wizard nearby, continued asking, "Then is it you who sacrifices this offering?"

The red-robed wizard also did not respond.

The energy octopus grew slightly irritable, waved its tentacle several times, ultimately its eyes locked onto Emerson in the scene, asking, "It’s you, I found it, you are the strongest existence here, it must be you who sacrifices the offering. So, tell me, what do you wish to obtain?

As long as I can achieve what you want, I can give it to you, then you fulfilled your wish, while I take your sacrificed soul, follow the channel you’ve opened for me and return where I came from, complete this transaction. How about it?"

Emerson listened to the energy octopus’s words, his expression remained unchanged, only looked briefly at the energy octopus, then under the gaze of hundred eyes on the energy octopus, walked to a crimson lever on the metal platform and pulled it down.

"Clack, buzz!"

The metal platform weighing several tons shook frantically, almost jumping off the ground, wires and pipelines connected below instantly snapped, sparks scattered, blue cooling liquid spilled everywhere.

A resulting chain reaction followed among the mechanical arms atop the metal platform, tilting together, ceasing operation.

The emitted energy beams interrupted, the maintained "space hole" seemed to evaporate, with a "poof" it vanished instantly.

The energy octopus’s tentacles froze in the air, evidently stunned, eventually, an enraged voice echoed inside everyone’s mind in the scene, roaring towards Emerson, "What are you doing? Trying to trap me here?"
