Echoplanet - Volume 2: Academy Secrets
Chapter 14: Ancient Ruins
In the battles against various magical creatures, Ukko's team continued to advance, gradually delving deeper into the forbidden area. They discovered that the magical energy in the forbidden area was becoming more and more concentrated, and the environment was becoming more and more gloomy and terrifying.
Suddenly, Lilith stopped and said with a frown, "Everyone be careful, there is a very powerful magical energy fluctuation ahead."
Ukko's team immediately became vigilant, they slowed down and walked forward cautiously.
Soon, they came to a huge cave. The entrance of the cave was shrouded in a thick magical barrier, emitting powerful magical energy fluctuations.
"This... What is this place?" Emilia asked in surprise.
"This should be an ancient ruin," Reynard said. "I once read about it in a book. It is said that in ancient times, some powerful magicians would build their own cultivation places in some secret places, and these cultivation places were called ancient ruins."
"Ancient ruins usually hide some precious treasures and powerful magic, but they are also full of various dangers," Reynard added.
"Do we want to go in and take a look?" Emilia asked.
"Since we're here, of course we have to go in and take a look," Ukko said. "However, everyone must be careful."
Ukko's team cautiously approached the magical barrier, and they found that this magical barrier was very powerful, and even they could not easily break through it.
"It seems that we can only find a way to enter the ruins," Ukko said.
Ukko's team began to look for clues around the cave, they carefully observed the surrounding rocks, trees, and ground, hoping to find some traces.
Suddenly, Lilith pointed to a rock and said, "Everyone, look, there seem to be some runes carved on this rock."
Ukko's team immediately gathered around, and they found that there were indeed some ancient runes carved on this rock. These runes were very complex, and they couldn't understand what they meant at all.
"Could these runes be the key to entering the ruins?" Emilia guessed.
"Very likely," Ukko nodded and said. "Let's try to decipher these runes."
Ukko's team began to study these runes, they consulted a lot of information and asked the rune masters in the academy for advice.
After several days of effort, they finally deciphered the meaning of these runes.
These runes were an ancient magic spell, and as long as they were recited in a specific order, they could open the magical barrier and enter the ruins.
Ukko's team followed the instructions of the runes and recited the spell.
As the spell was recited, the magical barrier...
