Chapter 719: The Choice in the Mysterious Ruins

 Chapter 719: Choice in the Mysterious Ruins

 Chapter Start

After finishing an intense adventure, Bennett and Mika received another mysterious letter before they had time to rest. The paper of the letter had turned yellow, and the handwriting on it was simple and twisted, as if it carried some mysterious power. The letter mentioned an ancient relic hidden in the mountains. It was said that there was a mysterious treasure that could change the fate of the world, but it also came with great danger. Bennett and Mika looked at each other, their eyes flashing with excitement and curiosity, and they decided to go together to explore this mysterious relic.

 Plot Development

After going through untold hardships, the two finally found the ancient ruins hidden in the mist. The gate of the ruins was tall and heavy, engraved with strange symbols and patterns, exuding a mysterious and ancient atmosphere. Bennett walked forward and carefully observed the symbols, trying to find a way to open the gate. Mika looked around vigilantly to prevent any sudden danger.

After some effort, Bennett finally cracked the mechanism on the door, and with a dull sound, the door slowly opened. An old and mysterious atmosphere came over them, and the two walked into the ruins carefully. The light inside the ruins was dim, and some gems emitting faint light were inlaid on the walls, barely illuminating the way forward.

They carefully explored the ruins, encountering various traps along the way. Once, Bennett accidentally triggered a trap, and countless sharp arrows shot from all directions. Mika was quick-witted and quickly pulled Bennett to hide behind a stone pillar. Arrows rained down on the stone pillar, splashing sparks. The two of them stuck tightly behind the stone pillar, not daring to breathe, until the arrows stopped shooting.

"That was a close call!" Bennett wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear.

"It seems that there are dangers everywhere here. We have to be more careful." Mika frowned and looked around vigilantly.

Continuing forward, they came to a huge hall. In the center of the hall stood a huge sarcophagus, which was engraved with exquisite patterns and mysterious symbols. Bennett and Mika slowly approached the sarcophagus, their hearts filled with curiosity and vigilance.

Just as they approached the sarcophagus, a group of ghostly monsters suddenly emerged from all directions. These monsters moved erratically, made strange noises, and pounced on the two. Bennett and Mika immediately drew their weapons and started a fierce battle with the monsters.

Bennett swung his sword, and each swing could repel a few monsters, but the monsters seemed endless and kept coming. Mika cast magic, and rays of light shot out from his hands, hitting the monsters and making them disappear temporarily. But the monsters would soon reappear, and the battle fell into a stalemate.

"We can't go on like this. We have to find the weakness or source of these monsters." Bennett shouted while fighting.

Mika nodded and continued to observe the movements of the monsters. Suddenly, he discovered that these monsters seemed to have some connection with the sarcophagus. Whenever the light on the sarcophagus flickered, the monsters would become more crazy.

"Bennett, I think the power of these monsters may come from the sarcophagus. We have to find a way to destroy the sarcophagus or cut off its connection with the monsters." Mika shouted.

After hearing this, Bennett nodded. He saw the right moment and rushed towards the sarcophagus, trying to destroy it. But there seemed to be an invisible barrier around the sarcophagus, and Bennett's attack was bounced back.

"This sarcophagus has protective magic. I have to use special methods to break it." Bennett said with a frown.

At this moment, a huge monster leader appeared. It was stronger than the other monsters and had stronger attack power. It waved its huge claws and pounced on Bennett and Mika. The two fought hard, but gradually they were unable to do so.

"Are we going to die here?" Bennett said in despair.

"No, we can't give up. There must be another way." Mika gritted his teeth and continued to cast magic to attack the monster leader.

Just as the monster leader was about to hit Mika, Bennett suddenly remembered an ancient spell mentioned in a letter. He closed his eyes and muttered something, and a mysterious light emanated from him. This light enveloped the monster leader, temporarily slowing down its movements.

Mika took the opportunity to launch a powerful magic attack, hitting the monster leader's vital point. The monster leader screamed, fell to the ground and disappeared. Seeing that the leader was defeated, the other monsters also fled.

Bennett and Mika breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew that the danger was not completely eliminated. They continued to look for the secret of the sarcophagus and finally found a hidden mechanism at the bottom of the sarcophagus. Bennett carefully pressed the mechanism and the sarcophagus slowly opened.

There was no legendary treasure in the sarcophagus, but an ancient book. The book exuded a mysterious light and recorded some ancient knowledge and secrets. Bennett and Mika opened the book and began to read the contents.

It turns out that this relic was built by a powerful magician in ancient times to protect world peace. The book records a magic that can seal evil forces, but this magic requires a huge price. The legendary treasure is actually the secret of this magic.

"I see. We should spread this method so that more people will know how to seal evil," said Bennett.

Mika nodded: "But we also know that using this magic requires a huge price, and we can't force others to use it. We should tell this secret to those who have the ability and courage, and let them decide for themselves."

The two decided to leave the ruins with the book and give it to someone they could trust. In the process of leaving the ruins, they encountered many difficulties and challenges, but with mutual trust and courage, they finally succeeded in leaving the ruins.

 End of Chapter

When they walked out of the ruins, the sun shone on them, and they felt particularly warm. Bennett and Mika looked at the books in their hands, and their hearts were filled with a sense of responsibility. They knew that the road ahead was still long, but they were confident to face all challenges.

"Let's go and find someone to whom we can entrust this secret." Bennett said with a smile.

Mika nodded, and the two walked side by side into the distance, their figures looking particularly firm in the sunlight. And this mysterious relic was once again hidden in the mountains, waiting for the next destined person to come.
