Chapter 940 -567: The One Hidden Turns Out to Be_2
However, Lis could hardly influence the other party itself through the other party’s Dream Space.
And the Magic Pattern Array left by Ihelos should be able, like modifying the memories of the small town’s residents, to influence the other’s memory and thoughts through the Dream Space.
If it’s truly as Lis thinks, then it undoubtedly opens a new direction for Lis.
Is it possible to explore and research other methods of influencing others through the Dream Space using this Magic Pattern Array, not just memory modifications?
Lis thought this was quite workable, but the most important thing now was still to break through the concealing array in front as much as possible.
After all, the Magic Pattern Array he currently acquired isn’t complete, and the most crucial part might be on top of the core that constructs the small town illusion.
Fingers crossed that what’s hidden within this concealing array is the core of the small town’s illusion…
Lis focused entirely on the task and continued to pour his energy into the concealing array in front of him.
…
After an unknown amount of time, Lis opened his eyes and slowly stood up from the ground.
Rubbing his somewhat sore neck, Lis looked at the illusory array in front of him, sighed, and said with some delight:
“Finally completed the analysis.”
“It sure is peculiar and powerful enough.”
“Although it’s difficult to recreate it now, breaking this array is no longer a problem.”
“Let me see what lies beyond you…”
Lis extended his right index finger, gathered Magic Power, and lightly touched the air in front of him.
What surprised him was that the once void space suddenly rippled with faint waves, spreading instantly from where Lis touched.
When the ripples extended over a hundred meters, the Magic Power on the entire concealing array suddenly boiled like boiling water.
Clink～
A crisp sound rang out, and the entire concealing array shattered into crystalline Magic Power shards like glass, scattering downwards.

—————
As Lis broke through the concealing array left by Ihelos, a bunch of information popped up on the system interface.
Not only did Lis gain a new skill, but he also found clues to a new personal exclusive skill.
However, Lis’s attention wasn’t on the system prompts, as his gaze had been drawn to the scene unfolding before him.
What appeared before Lis was a tower, but not the Mage Tower of Ihelos that Lis imagined.
This was an exceedingly bizarre and evil Blood Tower!
This tower wasn’t built with ordinary stone but was tightly and orderly constructed with deep black bricks, as if the deepest night in the world had solidified into reality.
The tower’s body speared skyward, as if challenging the edge of the sky, and yet streams of blood-red liquid flowed across it, alarming to behold.
This blood-red hue was like fresh blood, scarlet and carrying a deeply ominous aura.
They didn’t remain still but twisted and coiled, climbing slowly yet steadily from bottom to top, as if containing an ancient and evil will, invoking a tremor deep within the soul just by being observed from afar.
Meanwhile, on the tower’s body, ferocious patterns like engravings were clearly visible, not merely simple decorations but more like some ancient Spell’s embodiment. Every line exuded an aura of wildness and madness, seeming to echo the sounds of battle drums during skirmishes, the roars of beasts over wastelands.
In the middle of the tower, twisted lines converged into the pattern of a blood-red gigantic beast, appearing somewhat like a roaring, fearsome giant bear.
These patterns in the blood-red contrast appeared even more vivid and terrifying, seemingly devouring all Light, dragging everything around into an endless darkness.
When the blood-red finally reached the tower’s top, it resembled a gaping maw, a greedily patient Abyss Beast seemingly ready to swallow every Life and soul in the world, leaving only silence and despair.
The top of the tower was not only the highest point of this Blood Tower but also like a doorway to a terrifying unknown world, inspiring a shiver straight from the feet to the top of the head merely by feeling the atmosphere.
Lis was no exception; in the moment he saw this scene as the array shattered, he involuntarily shivered.
What is going on here?
Lis took a slight step back, cautiously watching the Blood Tower in front of him.
He was more inclined to believe this was located in some evil place within the Endless Abyss rather than a Legendary Mage’s Mage Tower.
With the array broken, a dense, bloody aura wafted out, making Lis’s face look even more grim.
The fact that it’s blood which stained this evil tower…
Over the years, the blood hadn’t dried, so how many Lives must have been sacrificed back then to dye this Blood Tower.
Rather than calling it a tower, it seemed more like an extremely bloody and mad Altar capable of endlessly devouring Life.
Wait!
Lis focused his attention on the tower in front of him.
Though the aura was somewhat faint, Lis truly sensed a weak breath of Divine Power from the tower in front of him.
Related to the Divine?
An Abyss Evil God?
No, this aura is too weak.
A Demigod on the Path to Divinity?
Liss’s mind whirled with thoughts, opting not to approach rashly. Instead, he controlled his Magic Power to construct a new array around this Blood Tower, sealing its aura once more.
Having completed the analysis of the Legendary Concealing Array left by Ihelos, Lis fully mastered the [Ihelos·Nihility Concealing Barrier].
Though with Lis’s current power, reconstructing this Legendary Array was out of the question, his control over Magic Arrays significantly improved through breaking it.
Setting up an array to hide the aura wasn’t an issue.
After setting up the array to seal the bloody evil aura emanating from the Blood Tower, Lis continued to gaze at this tower.
“I have a feeling this tower wasn’t left by Ihelos.”
Lis murmured to himself.
Although Ihelos was a Legendary Undead Mage, strictly speaking, he was also an evil presence but not as bloody evil as the Blood Tower in front of him was.
Especially the extreme madness and wild Elements; it didn’t seem like the behavior of a Mage but rather that of a Barbarian warrior driven to insanity.
However…
Regardless of who it was, leaving behind a Blood Tower like this would undoubtedly be an extremely powerful presence, quite possibly a strong one nearing the final step on the Path to Divinity.
If it’s true, does it mean two or more than two Legendaries appeared in this small town?
Could there be something attracting them?
Due to the presence of the Divine Power aura, Lis didn’t dare to rashly touch the Blood Tower before him.
This isn’t out of cowardice, but he understood the gap between his current state and the power of the Divine.
Although he was a World Tree Favored, presently he was only standing at the threshold of Legendary Rank, and acting rashly could lead to irreversible disaster.
Lis circled the Blood Tower, finding with some surprise that there appeared to be no entrance at the tower’s base.
The only thing was that the crimson liquid slowly oozed from the gaps between the black bricks at the very bottom.
A potential mix of Divine Power and blood?
Lis glanced at it a bit more, then used a Spell to fly towards the top of the tower.
With no entrance at the tower’s body, it should be at the very top where the crimson liquid disappears.
When reaching the top of the tower, Lis looked down from a distance and momentarily froze mid-air.
The top was an opening downward, seemingly leading straight to the bottom.
But from the opening, looking towards the tower’s base, was a silhouette drowned halfway in blood!
As if noticing Lis’s gaze, this silhouette raised its head to glance at Lis.
