Chapter 912: 912
"It's rather strange . Since this is the place where Chaos trained himself, and it is apparently heavily guarded, it is impossible that any animal could have broken into the room . Who was it that left the terrifying claw marks exactly?"
The enormous claw marks made the exploration team even more vigilant . It took them more than two hours for them to examine all four walls .
In the meantime, they sent two messengers back to the ground for communication and were reinforced by another ten tough soldiers of the Nether World Watch, who brought even more artifacts, magical equipment, and surveying tools with them .
Then, they marched toward the center of the tomb of Chaos .
Without the wall to guide them, they were caught in a black ocean after only ten meters . Every other direction was covered in the black fog that was not dispersing at all . The only thing that could be seen were the ripples that were spreading out on the water that was up to their knees .
Zi! Zi! Zi! Zi!
All the soldiers of the Nether World Watch activated the demon cores that were embedded in their bodies . Demonic energy, electric arcs, and flames were vaguely flowing inside the demon cores .
"Be careful . We're only two hundred meters away from the monolithic object at the center . There are no obstructions in front of us . Stay in a line and march forward at the lowest speed . Do not leave anybody behind!"
Swirl was an expert in mental attacks . The powder that was released from her body spread out like colorful airwaves . Everybody felt relatively relaxed .
At that moment…
Huala! Huala!
Weird noises suddenly echoed inside the water!
"There's something in the water!"
Along with an exclamation, dozens of mysterious, black shadows sprang out of the water and darted toward everybody like bolts of lightning!
They turned out to be the blood-sucking flying swords that Li Yao had met before!
The flying swords seemed to have never sucked any real blood in the past forty thousand years . Their veins were withered, out of shape, and dangled down from the body of the flying swords like dried earthworms .
It was exactly because of their hunger for blood that they were shrieking and attacking so furiously!
"Stop them!"
Swirl snapped her fingers . Dozens of streams of powder spurted out of her fingertips and turned into colorful rainbows in midair . From moving through the air at a high speed, the friction caused them to burst into flames!
The colorful flames interweaved into an impregnable web that went toward the incoming flying swords and trapped them!
The other soldiers of the Nether World Watch all showed their own skills, too . They slightly opened their fully-enclosed protective suits, revealing the demon cores on their bodies .
The demon cores were triggered, forming shields of spiritual energy and long sabers of flames near them . They slashed the blood-sucking flying swords with the hundreds of blade auras!
The blood-sucking flying swords, after forty thousand years of hibernation, were already running low on energy . Under the attack of the soldiers of the Nether World Watch, they all broke apart and fell back to the water helplessly .
Hissing sounds echoed within the water, as if it were boiling .
But one of the captives of the Blade of Chaos left the battle formation in panic and was scratched by one of the broken blood-sucking flying swords . A shallow wound was cut open on his arm .
The blood-sucking flying sword crawled into the body of the captive like a parasite . Very soon, half of the body was already dried up .
However, before the blood-sucking flying sword darted out again, dozens of blade auras had already arrived overwhelmingly, slashing both the captive and the sword into pieces!
"It appears that your God Chaos rather cares about you!" Swirl mocked .
But another abrupt change already took place . In the water near everybody, a few giants that looked like iron towers suddenly sat straight . Under the searchlights, they appeared to be metal puppets that were made of bronze and carved with dense spiritual stripes on their bodies!
The puppet giants had been shattered, their upper halves were separated from their lower halves, and they were soaked deep inside the water . That was why they had not been detected earlier .
Even without their lower halves, they were still more than two meters tall, and their arms were almost ten meters long when stretched out . Countless weapons and pieces of magical equipment were hidden inside their cylindric, black arms .
The puppet giants were driven by the crystals that were embedded to their chests and their joints . They had probably been woken up from the hibernation state because they sensed the scent of living creatures just like the blood-sucking flying sword did .
They were roaring deeply and twisting their rusted joints hard . Opening their coldly blinking hands, they lunged toward the soldiers of the Nether World Watch .
"Don't panic . Attack their crystals!" Swirl bellowed quickly . The speed of her fingers increased significantly, transforming the powder into dancing butterflies that danced around the puppet giants and eventually stopped on the shining crystals .
The powder butterflies leaked into the crystals immediately . The shining crystals seemed to have been mixed with a lot of impurities and lost their brilliance, turning dirty and obscure .
The broken puppet giants stopped functioning again . The last hollow sigh echoed inside their body that had almost been fully corroded .
The other few puppet giants were cut into pieces by the soldiers of the Nether World Watch, too .
Except for one heavily wounded soldier, most of the teammates were safe and sound .
After examining the multiple kinds of magical equipment hidden in the body of the puppet giants, Swirl concluded, "Those beast puppets do not look like designated guards . They are more like… servants and acolytes of Chaos . "
