444: Chapter 444 Four Elents 444: Chapter 444 Four Elents Tonight, no one is destined to sleep.
A “battle of gods” repeatedly unfolds within the city walls.
Countless outsiders have fallen as spirits under the blade, which at least demonstrates that the security in Atlantis ten thousand years ago must have been quite good…
The soldiers surround the corridor like a tide, with Illusion Fox and Demoness coordinating seamlessly.
However, the soldiers regrow like chives.
After cutting down one batch, another batch springs up endlessly, leaving both exhausted from the constant combat.
“We’re surrounded,” Demoness exclaid in surprise as she watched a headless soldier rise again.
Reinforcents kept joining the fight unceasingly.
With their backs against each other, soldiers wielding bronze halberds aggressively closed in from all directions.
“Damn it.” Illusion Fox clenched her teeth tightly, swinging her long whip.
With each crack, she could only push people back before soone else stepped up to fill the gap.
“We must not let them injure us,” Demoness shouted.
After entering the ruins, Boat Number Two also encountered these soldiers’ onslaught.
Many Netherworld Palace experts perished by their blades, and their bodies rapidly decayed.
Those wounded also died from organ failure within hours, leaving no chance for treatnt and soon turned into rotting corpses.
“Boom.” Suddenly, the outer wall of the house exploded, throwing up dust everywhere, and four dark shadows flashed by…
“Ah!” The next second, the room echoed with the screams of soldiers.
In the blink of an eye, the tide of battle reversed, so quickly that even Demoness and Illusion Fox couldn’t see clearly.
Illusion Fox quickly waved her hand to clear the dust in front, only to feel a strong hand wrapping around her waist.
Instinctively, she turned around and threw a punch.
“Do you still want to murder your own husband?” Illusion Fox’s right fist was tightly gripped by a strong hand, a familiar voice sounding beside her ear.
As the dust settled, a handso, pale face erged.
“I knew you would co,” Illusion Fox recognized the man and threw herself into his arms…
The newcor was none other than Ye Shikai and his party, and the man in front of Illusion Fox was Nightmare.
Nightmare, grasping Illusion Fox’s slim waist with one hand and brandishing a halberd with the other, fiercely struck the head of a nearby soldier.
“This place isn’t safe, we need to retreat first,” Nightmare spoke calmly, now no longer able to savor the joy of rescue, as regints of soldiers encircled them.
If they did not retreat promptly, even Ye Shikai and his companions would be in danger.
“Aphrodite, quickly use the Illusion Technique,” Ye Shikai called urgently.
“Beauty Goddess Spell—Illusion Technique,” Aphrodite made several hand gestures, causing the soldiers in front to halt imdiately.
“Where did they go?”
“Everyone, follow orders and search outside.” After a while, a Death Soldier looking like an officer commanded, and the soldiers finally left the room.
…
Inside a room.
“Demoness, Illusion Fox, neither of you are hurt, right?” After everyone cald down, Ye Shikai finally took a long breath of relief; nothing was more important than the safety of his brothers and sisters.
“No, luckily you arrived just in ti, otherwise it would have been dangerous.”
“What about the others?” Soul Destroyer asked curiously, then suddenly, he realized he had touched on a sorrowful topic.
“They’re all dead, all killed by those soldiers.” Illusion Fox found a spot and slowly sat down, murmuring, “They all died covering the retreat of the main force.”
A mont of silence.
“Lord, what exactly were those things?” After a long ti, everyone recovered from the sad atmosphere.
It wasn’t the ti for them to grieve.
Since they had already entered the ruins, it was a point of no return.
Finding Ji Qian and getting out safely would make their sacrifice aningful.
“They are soldiers from Atlantis but are now in the form of undead, which is why we can’t kill them right now,” Ye Shikai said quietly.
Soul Destroyer took out a laptop from his backpack, and upon opening it, the screen showed several streets of Atlantis under surveillance.
“What is this?” Aphrodite asked.
“I just installed caras around the house; this way, if soldiers approach, I’ll be alerted,” Soul Destroyer initialized the alarm system.
As soon as any soldiers ca close, he would receive a warning alert.
The power of high technology, thankfully, Atlantis’s soldiers weren’t aware of it.
Soul Destroyer then pulled out four drones from his bag, each only the size of two palms, devices designed by the Worm.
He placed the drones outside so that they could patrol automatically.
“Aphrodite, what exactly lies within the ruins of Atlantis that draws so many here?” After settling down, Ye Shikai relaxed in a chair and turned to Aphrodite.
“There are legendary four great elents within Atlantis, which I believe is the main allure for the masters of the Underworld to co here,” Aphrodite sighed softly.
“Are you referring to the four elents of earth, air, water, fire?” Illusion Fox interjected lightly.
“Yes, these four elents are creation elents in Western legends and are also the fundantal elents of the Earth, possessing trendous energy,” Aphrodite explained.
“You also know about the Four Elents?”
“When I was with the Tomb Spirit Organization, Refining Mo also planned to search for these rare elents, but we didn’t go because of certain reasons,” Illusion Fox said lightly, glancing at Nightmare.
The incident she referred to was when, five years ago, Nightmare betrayed the organization, causing it significant damage, thus Refining Mo ultimately abandoned the plan.
Now it seed fortunate that Nightmare had left; otherwise, Illusion Fox might have died in the ruins five years ago.
Atlantis, a legendary paradise described in poems, is now a hellish landscape, a lost kingdom, a lost civilization…
“So, you probably want more than just the Origin of Life, right?
The Four Elents are so coveted, you must have been longing for them too,” Ye Shikai said coldly to Aphrodite, not believing that a Main God would only focus on appearances.
To achieve such a high rank as Main God, one must be profoundly scheming.
“Of course I’m interested.
Hades, we could ally, and then you can have three and I one, how does that sound?” Aphrodite extended an olive branch, wanting just one elent for herself.
“I’m sorry, I’m not interested in the Four Elents; I only want to rescue her,” Ye Shikai waved his hand, as the Four Elents would be useless if Ji Qian were dead.
Love for a beauty, not for the empire.
