Chapter 423: 423

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Grimm, Wicky, and Claudia landed on top of a square .

What was once a massive palace with all its glory had now been reduced to rubble, scorched by the fires of battle . The sacred grounds on which the faithful sang their prayers had been dyed in the color of blood . One could not find a complete brick on the ground .

“Is this… is this what used to be the Dark Destroyer Temple?”

A hundred-meter tall divine statue had been pulled down during the war by the Demon-Hunter Sorcerers . Although it had not completely crumbled due to its use of structurally-tough material, it had lost all signs of dignity .

Shattered rocks covered the ground . Pages of holy books, dyed in blood, were fluttering in the wind .

“Hmm? This stone statue…”

Wicky stopped in front of the Dark Destroyer’s statue that had been toppled over . The stone body of the statue was the size of a small hill; an impressive sight to behold .

Wicky’s hand, stout as granite, pressed upon the rock statue . A mysterious energy, as if from mother nature herself, flowed through him from the ground and into the rock statue like blood transfusion .

“Haha, hahahaha! Grimm, you said that they’re underneath?”

Wicky suddenly burst out laughing as he asked raucously .

Grimm looked at him from beneath his Mask of Truth along with Little Myna who was perched on his shoulder . In a deep voice, he said, “That’s right, Millie and the rest of them found the coordinates of the huge underground chamber . ”

Claudia’s feet had not completely touched the ground yet and she seemed to have made a discovery . She turned around gracefully towards Grimm and Wicky and said, “The entrance is here, it’s clearly underneath!”

Grimm was delighted . He flew a little bit higher and looked at where Claudia was looking .

The temple wall was dilapidated and the floor had crumbled, faintly revealing a huge underground entrance . There were remains of Acraepoid clerics scattered around the entrance .

“Hahaha, I’ll see you guys down there later . ”

Wicky laughed unabashedly . He turned around and sat on the collapsed Dark Destroyer statue . His plate mail and helmet produced a huge clang as he said to them in a delighted manner .

Grimm and Claudia seemed to be thinking about the same thing as they looked at Wicky in disbelief .

Could it be that this guy’s trying to…

“Caw? You’re not going down with us? I’ll say it first, if there are treasures underneath, I won’t…”

Grimm signaled for Little Myna to stop talking . He nodded and said, “Okay, let Little Myna accompany you then . ”

“Caw!? Master, I want to go down too, it’s not fair…”

Grimm led Claudia towards the underground entrance . A cold air that had been undisturbed for years gushed towards them, as dense as the bone-chilling air in the treasure chamber they were in .

Grimm picked up a shattered piece of ice that had an eyeball of a monster sealed within . He was a bit taken aback but soldiered on with Claudia as if nothing had happened .

Deeper into the underground caverns .

A dense, cold air covered the place . Occasionally, a tiny flicker of azure blue flame would burst in mid-air to blow out the cold patches of air .

“There must be some terrifying creature sealed away in the inner seal underneath this huge seal array . I sensed an overwhelming presence over there just now, this mysterious dark energy that consumes light must have originated from over there . ”

The Level-3 sorceress said in a hoarse voice . There was a red-eyed macaque the size of a palm sitting on top of her shoulder . Beneath her loose cloak, her face was covered in wrinkles .

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

Within the depths of the darkness, there were red-colored eyes that glided along the surface of the cavern walls which disappeared in a flash . These monsters appeared to be exceptionally strong and agile . Sometimes, they could hear clashes between Demon-Hunter Sorcerers and the monsters .

“Hmph! I think it’s better if we report this back to the Battle Command at the fortress . I’m not sitting well with the air here . Although this is a Rank-2 Honor Badge mission, but if there really is a World Lord sealed in here it is no laughing matter . ”

Lightning and flame converged together, producing a crackling sound at the tip of her blonde hair . They were quickly consumed by the flame as her eyes lit up in the color of gold .

The cold air around them was rejecting this energy concoction of flame and lightning, suppressing the air around her with the power of the natural element .

“Arghh… . ”

A painful wail of a Demon-Hunter Sorcerer could be heard from a distance . As his body was impaled by a giant tail, one could hear the sound of wings flapping and monsters dividing their share of meat .

Some of the Demon-Hunter Sorcerers who were not adept in darkness attempted to light the cavern with their elemental lights . The lights did not reach very far and became dim after a few meters as if consumed by the darkness .

“Hmph, these monsters that walk in the shadows!”

Within the huge underground cavern, the only light source came from the Level-3 Demon-Hunter Sorceress that was grumbling coldly . The light only gradually disappeared after reaching hundreds of meters in range .

At the end of the lighted pathway, one could faintly see huge bat-like creatures crawling along the cave walls before disappearing quickly .

Plop!

A charred remains of the crawling creature that had wings attached to it fell down beside the Level-3 Elemental Light Sorceress . Its wrinkled black skin started to smell like charred meat . It seemed like they were very afraid of light .

Buzz, buzz, buzz…

Occasionally, dark energy ripples would pass through . They seemed to be how the monsters navigated around the place .

Unlike the great Level-3 sorcerers who could manage on their own, the relatively low-leveled Demon-Hunter Dark Sorcerers could only manage to stay alive within the light-consuming darkness .

Millie summoned Ice Breeze .

The ice phoenix had a wingspan of almost fifteen meters and complemented the Giant Lava Bird on which a sorcerer was seated .

“Damn it, you’ve summoned us to face the incessant onslaught of these creatures?”

The sorcerer on top of the Giant Lava Bird roared out in a wrathful manner . The darkness that consumed any hint of light made the sorcerer who was weak at sensing felt like he was surrounded by the unknown . There was tremendous pressure on him .

Bzzzt…

A blue flame exploded into ice flakes mid-air . For the Giant Lava Bird, it was like a drop of ice water falling into a boiling pot of hot oil . A burnt spot could be seen faintly before sparks appeared in a crackle .

Whoosh, whoosh…

Solumn flew in from a distance with an azure-colored sword in his hand . There were hideous-looking eyes around his body which was a terrible sight to behold . He shook his head and said, “They haven’t decided if they want to open up the inner seal . ”

Unleashing the inner seal could set forth a terrifying monster . None dared to shoulder the responsibility .

But still, it was necessary to go into the inner seal to completely destroy the Ancient Seal Array .

“Ughh…”

Another sorcerer’s agonizing moan could be heard far away . Though he was wounded, it sounded like he was able to kill the ambushing creature .

“Hopefully Grimm will get here soon . With his Rank-1 Honor Badge authority, he can at least make a decision so that we wouldn’t have to stick around here indefinitely . ”

Rumble…

The grounds shook . The terrains appeared to be moved by some kind of huge mechanism .
