Wizard's Journey

Chapter 421 The War to Annihilate the Dark Empire (Thirteen)

call out!call out!call out!

Green, Vicky, and Chrétia landed in a square.

A once magnificent and grand temple is now a ruin burned by war. The sacred square where believers and people used to pray and sing is now stained with blood, and not a single intact brick can be found in the square.

"Is this... the former Temple of Annihilation?"

The majestic statue, which was over a hundred meters tall, was toppled during the war with the demon hunters. Although it was not completely broken due to the sturdiness of its structure and materials, it had lost all its sacredness and solemnity.

The ground was littered with rubble, and pages of the sacred texts, stained with blood, fluttered about.

The flames ignited the corpses of the locust people, emitting a strange, sweet fragrance, which seemed to be the locust people's justification for their eternal praise of life and death.

"Hmm? This stone statue..."

Viki stopped in front of the overturned statue of the Dark Flame God. Its massive, mountain-like body stood on the ground, giving it a somewhat majestic presence.

A large, granite-like hand touched the statue, as if some wondrous energy from the earth, nurturing life, flowed through it, like blood being injected into the stone.

"Haha, hahaha! Green, you're saying they're down here?"

Wiki suddenly burst into laughter and asked with great enthusiasm.

Grimm's Face of Truth turned around and looked over with Hachi on his shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "That's right, the coordinates of the large underground space that Millie and the others discovered are down there."

Kredia hadn't fully landed on the ground. Seemingly noticing something, she turned her alluring figure towards Green and Wikipedia behind her and said, "The entrance really is here; it's hollow below!"

Green was delighted and flew slightly higher, following Kreta's gaze.

The floor of the former main hall within the ruined walls of the temple is now broken, and a large underground passage is faintly visible. Some clergy members have died around the entrance of the passage.

"Haha, I'll go down and meet you in a bit."

Wiki laughed loudly, then flipped over and sat on the collapsed statue of the Dark Flame God, the metal armor and helmet clanging as he spoke with delight.

Green and Kreta both seemed to realize something and looked at Wikipedia in disbelief.

This guy, could he be planning to...?

"Huh? You want to come down with me? Let's make this clear first, if another treasure appears down there, I, Eighth Master, might..."

Green gestured for Hachi to be quiet, then nodded to Wiki and said, "Okay, let Hachi stay with you."

"Huh!? Young Master, I want to go down too, this isn't fair..."

Green flew into the cave with Kreta, and a gloomy aura that had been dormant for many years rushed towards them, similar to the faint chill that had permeated the air when the treasure chamber was opened earlier.

Picking up a piece of ice, inside which was a monster's eyeball, Grimm paused for a moment before continuing to fly down with Kretia as if nothing had happened.

…………

In the deep space.

A vast expanse of icy air swept and spread, and a small cluster of azure flames would inexplicably appear, only to vanish into thin air the next moment, exploding into a vast expanse of icy air.

"Deep within the seal beneath this massive sealing array, there must be some terrifying monster sealed away. I just sensed an astonishing aura there, and the mysterious dark power that devours light also originates from there."

A level-three old witch had a palm-sized red-eyed macaque perched on her shoulder. Her face was covered in wrinkles under her wide cloak, and she spoke in a hoarse voice.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

In the depths of darkness, red-eyed monsters flashed by along the walls of the vast underground space. These monsters seemed extremely powerful and agile, and the sounds of demon hunters battling them could be heard from time to time.

"Hmph! I think it's best to report the intelligence to the Space Fortress Operations Command. The atmosphere here makes me very uncomfortable. Although it's supposed to be a possible Level Two Medal of Honor mission, if a World Lord is really sealed inside, it's no joke."

Thunder and flames intertwined, and golden hair crackled and popped with electricity, only to be covered in flames the next moment, leaving his eyes a golden yellow.

The surrounding cold air seemed to be very restraining of the energy from the intersection of fire and lightning, constantly suppressing the manipulation of natural forces around the demon hunter.

"what……"

In the distance, another demon hunter screamed as his body was pierced by a huge tail. Then, from the darkness, came the sound of wings flapping and devouring flesh.

Some witcher wizards who were not good at sensing darkness attempted to summon elemental light to illuminate the darkness, but the rays of light only flew a few meters before dimming and disappearing, as if swallowed by the darkness.

"Hmph, these monsters who walk in the darkness!"

In the vast underground space, the only light came from this cold-snorting Level 3 Demon Hunter Wizard, illuminating the surrounding area for over a hundred minutes before slowly fading away.

Faintly visible at the end of the light were giant, bat-like, pitch-black monsters climbing the walls, their figures disappearing nimbly.

Bang!

The corpse of a winged crawling monster fell beside the level three light elemental archmage. Its wrinkled black skin began to smell burnt, and it seemed to be terrified of light.

hum, hum, hum...

Dark ripples occasionally flashed by, seemingly the way these monsters detected things.

All around.

Unlike the powerful level three demon hunter wizards who can stand alone, the relatively weaker low-level demon hunter dark wizards can barely protect themselves in this darkness that can devour light.

Millie summoned the ice wind.

At this moment, the ice crystal phoenix spread its wings and was a full fifteen meters long, forming a mutual support with the male wizard on the lava giant bird next to it.

"Damn it, were we summoned here just to face this endless slaughter of monsters?"

The male wizard atop the lava bird roared angrily. The surrounding darkness, constantly swallowing up light, made him, with his weak senses, feel that everything around him was filled with the unknown and incredibly oppressive.

puff……

A burst of azure flame suddenly exploded, shattering into ice flowers. To the lava giant bird, it was like ice water falling into a boiling oil pan. After parts of its body dimmed slightly, it "crackled" and splashed out large amounts of sparks.

Whoosh, whoosh...

Solangm flew over from afar, wielding a long, azure sword. His body was covered with hideous, grotesque eyes, making him look terrifying. He shook his head and said, "They haven't decided yet whether to open the deep seal."

If opening the deep seal were to unleash some terrifying monster, no one could bear the responsibility.

However, to completely destroy this ancient sealing array, one must go to the deeper layers of the seal.

"Waaah..."

In the distance, another demon hunter cried out in pain. Although injured, he seemed to have killed the monster that had ambushed him.

"Hopefully Green can get here soon. With his Medal of Honor First Class authority, he can at least assess the situation here and make a decision immediately, instead of waiting endlessly like this."

Boom...

The earth shook violently, as if some heavy, large mechanism was altering the spatial topography.
