Chapter 493 Chapter493-The Descent of the Sea God
As the battle at the Naga Tribe intensified, John, trapped in the Abyssal Illusion, had already tried numerous methods to escape.
His attempts included using the power of the Sea God in combination with spatial magic, as well as utilizing the power of his Sacred Relic to find a way out.
John also tried having the Legend Magus Nald create a series of portals using spatial magic, then connecting all these portals using his Abyssal Prison skill.
He hoped that this method might cause some cracks in the seal of the Abyssal Illusion.
If he could find these cracks, perhaps he and Nald could devise a way to escape through them.
However, all these methods ultimately failed.
It seemed there was no successful way to escape the Abyssal Illusion, and John's expression bore a trace of disappointment.
Nald, on the other hand, was not as disheartened, having harbored no hope from the beginning.
He believed they were destined to be trapped there forever.
"I told you before, there's no way we can escape from here. You might as well save your energy. With your strength, you could survive for a long time even if trapped in the Abyssal Illusion. Moreover, I've already discerned some patterns here. We can use our own power to create non-magical items that we have seen before."
As Nald spoke, he directed his gaze towards his cabin: "This cabin and the items surrounding it were all created using my own power. None of these items possess magical properties. If they had magical powers, they could not have been created within the Abyssal Illusion. This is also why any spell you use is ineffective in escaping. It seems that the Abyssal Illusion naturally suppresses any kind of magic. Even if you had more powerful spatial magic, it would be of no use here."
Nald's words deeply disappointed John.
John himself felt that he had exhausted all possible methods of escape.
However, at that moment, John suddenly realized there might be additional implications in Nald's words.
Since it was possible to create non-magical items using one's own power, perhaps this loophole could be used to successfully contact other players.
John immediately opened his communication channel and sent a message to Blue Sea and Adam:
"Can you see this message? If you can, please reply to me as soon as possible."
After doing this, John didn't continuously watch the communication channel.
He was well aware that this attempt might also be unsuccessful.
John's attempt was merely a test of his hypothesis.
Nald did not comment much on John's attempt.
He was well aware that John, as an adventurer (though Nald didn't fully understand what that entailed), was different from him.
As a Legend Magus, Nald could sense that John might have other means to escape, albeit at a great cost.
"If you don't need any more help from me, I will go rest. After all, I am quite old now and my energy is limited," Nald said, then returned to his cabin.
John didn't try to stop him, as he didn't think Nald could provide any more assistance in this situation.
Just as Nald was entering his cabin, John suddenly received messages on his communication channel.
[John, I can see this message. Why are you asking this? Did you get trapped in a seal again?] - Blue Sea.
[John, what's happened? I sent you many messages but got no reply. Are you in trouble again? If you're in a bind, I'm willing to help.] - Adam.
Blue Sea and Adam's ability to respond to John's message was a surprise.
Amidst his astonishment, John also felt that he might have found a way to escape through this method.
[Yes, I'm sealed in an illusion created by Mystery Power. Can you guys help me find a way to escape? I've tried all my magical skills, but none are effective here. Also, you need to investigate a Legend Magus named Nald. I've encountered a Legend Magus here!]
After composing his message, John sent it out.
However, the moment he hit send, he felt a twinge of regret.
He wondered if he should have mentioned Nald's name, feeling it might have been too imprudent to mention it in the communication channel.
However, the responses from Adam and Blue Sea quickly dispelled John's worries.
They didn't find the mention of Nald strange and simply promised to look into ways to help John escape.
Adam's reply, in particular, contained information that John found very significant.
[I must warn you to be cautious with Nald. I've read about him in the Great Library. He once betrayed our Order Faction and joined the Mystery camp. His defection was a significant factor in the threat posed by Mystery Saint. It's explicitly mentioned in the book that the enhancement of Mystery Power was due to Nald's assistance. Apparently, Nald found a direct passage to the Mystery Power Origin, which I find credible, considering he's a space magus.]
This information about Nald was crucial and could change John's perspective on his current situation and the Legend Magus he was with.
Upon receiving Adam's message, John reflected on his previous interactions with Nald.
Although Nald had provided assistance, it seemed he had also concealed important information.
[I understand. Act quickly, I'll be waiting for your good news. I'll also be cautious around Nald and will keep you updated with any information related to him.]
After sending this message, John closed the communication channel.
He then noticed Nald standing calmly behind him.
"Young man, I told you not to attempt to leave this place. Why won't you listen? Do you think staying here has any downside? Isn't the outside world just as dangerous?"
Nald's tone was significantly different from before, suggesting he had seen what John wrote in the communication channel.
Facing the current Nald, John was naturally on his guard.
He stepped back and said with a smile, "Don't you also want to leave this place? My actions are similar to yours, aren't they?"
As he spoke, John prepared for a possible confrontation.
He could feel Nald using powerful spatial magic, to the point where even moving smoothly was becoming difficult for John.
However, at that moment, John suddenly felt an overwhelming surge of the Power of the Sea God.
Even Nald's expression in front of him changed drastically.
At the same time, the entire Mystery environment underwent a violent tremor.
John could sense the power of the Sea God growing increasingly stronger, and he was now certain that the Sea God must have intervened directly.
With the Sea God taking action, John saw his opportunity to use this power to escape.
He cast Abyssal Prison towards Nald.
"If you don't want to escape, then stay here forever! I don't have time to waste with you; I'm definitely getting out of here!"
While speaking, John took out a divine scroll of ocean magic, which he had not used before.
This scroll, imbued with ocean attributes, was also a teleportation scroll.
John decided to use the formidable Power of the Sea God to activate this divine scroll and teleport back to the Naga Tribe.
As John made his move, Nald also reacted swiftly.
Nald teleported right in front of John: "I will not let you escape! The great plan of the Mystery Saint must succeed!"
The situation escalated as John faced Nald's determined opposition, the intensity of the Sea God's power rising around them, signaling a critical juncture in this confrontation.
