The two men in black robes knew how to get to this place, but Julius and Rei did not.
The two of them ran one after the other, not even having the courage to look back.
Rei, on the other hand, felt an inexplicable sense of fear. Without saying a word, she rushed forward, not caring where she was running to. Julius, on the other hand, could not understand her feelings. All he could do was trust her and run with her. As for Julius, after he blocked the invisible wind blade, he knew that the other party was not just a simple threat.
Pasta and Olga had told him that for a weapon user, the existence of a mage was very troublesome and difficult to deal with. This was because the opponent did not use weapons like swords, axes, or hammers to fight you. Instead, they used all kinds of strange spells to burn you, freeze you, make you lose your mind, and make you crazy …
Julius could not understand what kind of feeling it was before, but at least he understood a little.
The opponent did not have great strength, but had something that was not inferior to strength, and that was magic. Moreover, it was an invisible blade that could attack from nowhere.
After blocking the wind blade, Julius's hand was still trembling slightly.
Even the human trafficker who had his armpit pierced by his sword did not give him such a strong shock.
Of course, he was now stronger than before. This was something that he, Olga, and Pasta, who were responsible for guiding him, admitted. Only Lulunaka never showed such an attitude. But now, Julius felt that he was still too weak, and should not be complacent about the training he had received.
That young black-robed man only used a spell to blow away the confidence that he had been building up all this time.
There was nothing special about him. The other party could easily resist him with just one spell, and he admitted that he couldn't get close enough to deal with the young man in the black robe. For a mage, it was taboo to be approached by someone with a weapon, and a mage who wasn't stupid wouldn't let such a situation happen. A smart mage would prepare all kinds of spells and tools to deal with such a situation.
No matter how he thought about it, Julius did not think that he could deal with the two men. He was not the reckless and impulsive kid he used to be, and this situation did not allow him to be impulsive. Rei, who had no fighting ability, was right beside him.
As long as they could run, it would be best if they did not face them head-on. It would be better if they could escape.
But this place was a completely foreign world to them.
The intricate passages, the unknown rooms, the weak torches hanging everywhere, and the constantly moving white light sources … It was not a place where he couldn't even see his own fingers, but Julius felt like he was completely lost in this maze-like place.
"What should we do?" Julius followed closely behind Rei and shouted at her.
"I don't know. Anyway, let's run first. It's better than staying there and being killed!"
Rei shouted without looking back. "Those two are definitely not existences that we can talk to or discuss with … I can smell the blood and stench on them!
I definitely don't want to stay in that place. "
Julius rarely saw Rei so emotional. Although she was usually relaxed and optimistic, when she was like this, she did not care too much about other people's gazes. It looked like she was out of control, but in fact, it was just a loss of self-control, and she could still communicate normally.
"I feel that they are following us!"
Julius shouted. "Of course! If there were rats in your house, would you just sit there and do nothing?
I would never accept a rat eating or chewing wood in my house — they must be thinking the same thing! "
The floating light balls were still following them, and they seemed to be getting more and more familiar.
Julius had tried to destroy these things, and he did it.
He waved his sword around as he ran, and the sword split the light balls around him, but it seemed to be meaningless. After the light balls scattered, they became smaller and more light balls, flying everywhere, and some of them followed them.
If they stopped and took the time to deal with these things, Julius believed that they would soon be caught, and then the purpose of the black robes to release these light balls to track them would be achieved.
He simply ignored these annoying things that were like flies around him, never looking back, and never stopping.
But running like this was not a solution. Now they were just running around, and the black robes did not seem to have the means to catch up with them immediately. Although they were temporarily safe, there would be a time when they could not escape.
"Are we going to keep running like this?"
"We can't go back the way we came. If we run back now and try to climb the pipe to leave, we will only be caught by those two guys," Rei said, panting.
Rei panted and replied, "I feel the wind and the smell of water vapor here... If there is water, then there should be a passage leading up."
This was Rei's experience. In places like sewers, as long as there was a lot of water, there must be a clear way to go there, or to go deeper underground, or to return to a place closer to the surface.
Hearing Rei's words, Julius thought to himself, "Is there a way to go deeper underground?
This sewer seems to be a bit too big. "
After running for a while, the two finally saw the exit. There was a breeze coming in from the exit, and there was indeed the sound of water.
Julius and Rei went through the exit without thinking. After running for a short distance, they stopped — not because they could not run anymore, but because they had to stop.
Because there seemed to be no way forward in front of them.
If the intricate passageways and spaces behind them were a house, then when they stepped out of the house, what appeared in front of them was not a space of the same size, but a world that was too big to exist underground.
There seemed to be no end to the water below their feet. They stopped because if they went any further, they could only run into the water.
The water surface was as calm as a mirror, but it was not a real mirror, because there would always be some waves that would break the mirror.
It looked like a lake, but it was too small to call it a reservoir.
The shore of the lake was a beautiful semicircle, and the arc extended into the distance.
