Chapter 307: castle barely operational because of lack of magic energy
Chapter 307: castle barely operational because of lack of magic energy
John smiled and inserted the Excalibur into the slot for the key and immediately a waterfall appeared out of the cliff.
The water flowed up towards the castle and connected to the entrance of the castle.
Then from the castle the draw bridge opened up.
It looked more like steps and these steps fell straight on the water that turned into steps.
When they are connected John took his steps into the castle.
He is very vigilant when walking into the castle.
There are some defensive mechanisms in the castle but they are not active.
John walked into the external yard of the castle.
The land was cracked and there is no sense of fertility.
There is reddish black smog around the area.
The entire castle looked eerie like a ghost castle.
Well it really is a ghost castle with the ghost of Merlin in it.
Sometimes he felt like he was being watched by someone from the windows above.
He did not enter completely.
Instead he called Goldy out started to clear off the corruption around him.
When going into the place of an enemy it is best to do as much of damage as he can before entering into the strong hold.
This way, if you want to escape there would be a way out in the damaged area.
So his first target is to clear off the external area of the castle.
The tentacles of Goldy are big enough to cover the entire outer area of the castle easily.
Quickly there are many hidden dangers appeared after the tentacles of Goldy passed around.
But all of them were broken.
The castle doors and windows are tightly blocked.
John cannot break them easily either.
But with Excalibur on his hand it was very easy.
John was sure that Merlin will not be able to use his original wand.
There is reason is that his wand has the lightning core which is contradicting to his current state of corruption.
Also he is in soul state.
As long as he touches it he would be the first one to get effected by it.
The lightning core was originally enchanted to kill the dragon and darkness with core runes.
So as long as there is something related to the opposing power it would react violently.
John directly cut off the front door of the castle but did not enter through here.
Instead he went around breaking all the windows of the castle that he can possibly attack.
He did not leave any window or door that is not broken.
Even though it is made of metal the sharpness of Excalibur along with his super human strength it is as easy as cutting a slice of cheese.
Also he did not have any interest in living in this castle.
Just maintaining this castle is very costly.
It was made using the half baked magic knowledge of this world.
There are many flaws in this castle.
Instead of using it that is no different than burning money John wanted to salvage the useful things from this castle.
Even burning money might talk some time to burn.
But this castle would use something more than money to work.
As for how it is working till now is related to what Merlin did.
Actually it is not working properly.
If it is working John would not be able to enter into the castle so easily.
All the defenses of the castle are already not working.
In order to maintain the 3 planes of space and let the castle float most of the energy in the castle was being used.
Because of this very reason the castle was completely closed to not allow John inside.
Naturally the spirit inside did not expect that John would not care about such a magnificent castle and break the doors and windows directly.
John still did not enter into the castle.
Instead he let the tentacles of Goldy enter in and check things for him.
The tentacles are an extension of the energy of Goldy.
Any damage to them will not have any damage to Goldy.
But these things can really help her and John checking the situation outside.
There are many other uses from these tentacles.
For now it would help him search and destroy all the problematic things in the castle along with the hidden dangers.
Soon these tentacles entered into the inner castle and started to break through the area more than that was done by John.
Only after making sure that there is no danger John walked into the inner castle.
Even after the destruction the entire thing is magnificent.
But what can John say.
He doesn’t mind rising a small fish but he don’t want to raise an elephant just for the show.
He first went from floor to floor reaching to the top of the castle.
There are many valuable items that he found along the way.
There are rare materials that are used for decoration which is very wasteful.
The medicinal garden in the upper floor was a mess with all the medicinal and magical plants dead.
John did not find anything that resembles the soul of Merlin all this time.
There is some corruption and energy but that is all there is to it.
Well there is still basement below the castle floor and there are also hidden compartments that are not touched by him.
He also found that there is a magic enchantment in the castle that can let all the armored suits to come to life and fight.
But it is not working because of the lack of energy.
When this castle was first made there might be some strong magic in the world.
But now the magic is many times thinner.
It is barely enough for let the castle float.
So, all the traps and defenses of the castle are useless right now.
“It is no wonder that he wanted to connect to the system to gain the energy from outside.”
