Chapter 2135: Chapter 1192: Deeper and in Peril (Part 2)
“Apologies, Your Highness, I was montarily distracted.”
Lorenz composed himself, nodded apologetically to Leo Ray, and then resud his steps.
Arriving inside the hall enveloped by eerie light, the increase of the magic spheres made the place notably brighter.
However, the brighter it got, the more attention was drawn to the dark red roots erging from the ground, continuously writhing and growing, looking extrely bizarre.
At the sa ti, Leo Ray and the others could all feel it.
The energy within their bodies was noticeably sluggish; it seed the dark red roots had reached a level enough to affect Tier 4 experts and above.
“Your Highness, the closest passage to the Underground City is over here.”
The old face of Lorenz was full of solemnity as he dashed towards a passage on the side of the hall.
During the advance, this elderly bishop evidently recovered so of his strength, the flickering of holy light around him significantly dimd the glow of the dark red roots, evidently exerting a strong restraining effect.
anwhile, Grey Elder, Yonir, and Elder Bing were positioned at the front, middle, and back of the team, assisting Lorenz in opening a path for our stronghold to quickly pass through.
With the assistance of the three Tier 6 experts and Leo Ray’s various magic dicines and magical scrolls, our stronghold advanced quickly through the dark and eerie corridor like gusts of fierce wind.
Before long, at the end of a downward extending staircase, a door of moderate size appeared in front of the group.
Upon witnessing this scene, our stronghold tightly gripped their weapons, their energy surged, and even the absolute defense was reactivated.
The path so far had been extrely peaceful, not encountering a single magic trap, which was evidently too easy for the enemy stronghold.
In other words, the real danger is likely hidden behind this door.
No one knew what awaited us on the other side of the door, perhaps a volley of arrows or a whole army.
At the forefront of the many strongholds, Elder Bing and the three Tier 6 experts were teeming with vast energy, ready and poised.
“Your Excellency, the magic restrictions on this door haven’t been changed or increased, I can open it.”
Standing before the giant, old Lorenz nodded to Leo Ray, then refocused on the door in front of him, saying seriously, “Please be cautious, I’m about to open the door!”
Then, holy and warm energy waves once again burst forth from the elderly bishop’s slender body, and the tightly closed door slowly opened.
However, to everyone’s surprise, behind the door was emptiness, without any hint of murderous intent.
Looking carefully, even the visible dark red roots did not cover the space behind the door, as if it was a patch of clean ground within the darkness.
“From entering the main hall onwards, we haven’t encountered any enemies; could it be the other side didn’t expect us to enter here smoothly?”
Louise’s small face lit up with excitent, rubbing her hands gleefully, “This is the perfect opportunity for us to infiltrate deeply!”
“Dear Miss, things can never be that simple.”
Leo Ray casually patted the other’s head, speaking, “Perhaps this is precisely the facade the enemy has constructed for us; if we get complacent, we may soon find ourselves in an irreversible predicant.”
Having said this, Leo Ray ordered the still vigilant strongholders around, “We shoulder the responsibility of saving the Human World, there’s no room for mistakes, nor can there be any slack!”
With Leo Ray’s command, the strongholders all nodded in agreent, then under Lorenz’s guidance, they swiftly flew through the door.
Upon entering the door, Leo Ray glanced around, noticing it seed to be a square or training ground, appearing extrely spacious and barren.
“Your Highness, this is the foyer of the Underground City; however, in my old recollections, this space should be limited.”
Lorenz furrowed his gray eyebrows, advising Leo Ray, “Your Highness, please be extrely cautious, unusual circumstances often hide oddities…”
The elder bishop’s words had not finished before an unexpected change occurred.
With no warning, the door that had been easily opened by us suddenly closed behind, subsequently overlaid by several magic barriers and restrictions that had not appeared previously, seemingly in an impregnable state.
“Your Excellency, the strength of this door now is hardly different from the initial one; to break through it, a considerable effort will be needed.”
Elder Bing nodded at Leo Ray, speaking.
“The enemy, having blocked our path, will not give us ti to break through the door.”
Leo Ray waved his hand, ordering, “Everyone prepare for battle!”
No sooner had Leo Ray’s voice faded.
A series of wild and frenzied roars erupted from all directions around the square.
The sound was mixed with low growls, sharp cries, even howls, evidently not coming from the sa kind of enemy.
Accompanying the sound were waves of energy filled with hostility.
“It’s the bloodthirsty aura of demon beasts, and they’re powerful!”
Bianca White’s furry tail instantly bristled, instinctively shielding Leo Ray, saying, “Please, Lord, be extrely cautious!”
Hearing Bianca White’s call, other strongholders who had just ford their lineup stared intently ahead, not daring to be careless.
The squeaking friction sounds and sharp howls grew clearer first, soon a series of elongated figures, as large as heavy trains, erged around us.
This was a massive insect-like demon beast, covered in thick scales all over its segnted body, much resembling a combination of scorpions and worms, extrely flexible despite lacking limbs.
In no ti, these giant insect beasts squird from all sides, radiating a strange light of earth yellow and dark red intertwined, just a glance made one feel an instant chill.
Regarding these demon beasts, Leo Ray was certainly not unfamiliar; they caused us significant trouble back in Galaxy City.
The most crucial part was, at that ti there were only two, yet now there were at least dozens, appearing to blanket the sky.
“Those are Blood Red Sandworms.”
Strongholders like Taylor, who had once fought against them, witnessed this scene and tightly furrowed their brows.
Such demon beasts could not only spew highly corrosive venom; their outer skin was extrely tough, and their regeneration ability was incredible, almost unbeatable, and exceedingly tricky.
Feeling the intense hostility surging in, the strongholders from other teams also wore solemn expressions.
Despite having the protection of the absolute defense barrier, facing these Tier 5 demon beasts with overwhelming aura made most people’s foreheads bead with sweat.
There was more; along with the ground violently trembling, behind the Blood Red Sandworm swarm, were several even larger demon beasts following suit, each reaching a Tier 5 level in spirit.
“No wonder the old king of Brilliant City Underground City once ntioned sensing an extrely dangerous aura in the enemy’s beast breeding grounds; it seems the enemy has transferred all those secretly nurtured mutant demon beasts here.”
Feeling the surroundings instantly enter a deadlock, Leo Ray slightly furrowed his brow.
Based on overall strength, the enemy may not possess Tier 6 presence, yet their collective aura even overtakes ours.
This unquestionably signals a grand and earth-shattering battle about to unfold.
“Even if we can annihilate all these demon beasts, if we get delayed here for too long, it will still place us in a severely passive position.”
Watching the slowly advancing gigantic shadows around, while Leo Ray pondered urgently on resolving the imdiate issue.
Grey Elder and Yonir, with faces flaring with battle spirit, approached Leo Ray together.
