Chapter 258: Are You? (Part One)

Fei switched to Paladin Mode, and the golden aura covered his surroundings .

This aura contained holy power, and it was the best counter for this kind of gloomy energy . All the chilling energy disappeared like snow in the hot summer day as it touched the aura . Fei used the skill [Prayer], and the golden light around his body intensified . The entire underground hall was lit up; it was even brighter than the gold mountains . Under the cleansing of this power, the atmosphere of the hall turned peaceful and calm .

After all of this, Fei switched back to Sorceress Mode .

Then, Fei sensed an even stronger call; he sensed a familiar and intimate feeling as if his loved one was calling for him . This calling came from the white bones in the deep pit .

Fei didn’t hesitate and jumped into the pit of bones .

This scene wasn’t really too much for Fei . In Diablo World, he had been through a lot of bloody and terrifying places . Compared to those living hells, the chilling white bones were way cuter .

Crack!

Fei broke numerous bones as he landed on them .

These bones seemed to have been around for about ten years . From the way the bones corroded, Fei could tell that they weren’t high-level warriors when they were alive . The bones were really fragile, and they were only able to keep their original shape because there was no wind in this space .

As soon as Fei broke the bones, white bone dust shoot into the air .

“Huh? There are some tools?”

Fei found some unexpected items with the help of the light from the fire .

Under the bones, there were complete sets of building tools like shovels and spades . There were also some metal buttons that looked like they were on some clothes .

Fei immediately knew who these bones belonged to – the slaves and craftsmen who participated in the building of this underground project . After this hall was completed, they were all killed off to keep the secret .

A bunch of poor souls .

After Fei reached the bottom of the pit, the calling he was sensing grew even stronger . He realized that this calling was behind one of the sidewalls of the pit .

When he wanted to get close to that sidewall and take a better look, his eyes froze . About half a meter away from that sidewall, there was a pair of perfect footprints on the bones .

The footprints were about 30 centimeters long, and they were really clean compared with the messy bones and bone fragments around them . Fei squatted down to take a better look, and he was sure that the footprints were facing towards the wall; they were formed from someone stepping here for numerous times .

“How could it be? What kind of person would appear here and step at the same location?”

Fei thought as he stood up and stepped into the footprint .

Tink! …… Crack!

It was a really light metal spring sounding noise . A series of gears gliding noises followed after . Fei felt a light shake under his feet, and the stone wall in front of him had five silver dots appeared on it . Those five silver dots quickly danced on the wall and drew some pretty curvatures . Those curvatures soon formed a magic array that looked like a stone gate .

“This……”

Before Fei could react, the magic array started to operate on its own .

A sensation that Fei was really familiar with appeared as a light buzz sounded . A sky-blue oval shaped teleport portal that was two meters tall appeared in front of Fei .

Fei was stunned .

He was too familiar with this scene .

It was a portal .

It was the portal that [Town Teleport Scroll] would create in Diablo World .

Same magic surge, same magic color, same oval shape, same strange appeal…… Fei was completely sure that this was a teleport portal, but he didn’t know where this portal led to .

Fei found that the situation was getting more and more interesting .

He thought that he was taking revenge for his loyal subjects who were suppressed and killed by Blood-Edge, but things went on a tangent .

Chapter 258: Are You? (Part Two)

After summoning out his armor and dual-swords from Diablo World, he stepped into the portal without much hesitation .

In the next second, a dark space appeared in front of Fei’s eyes .

Before he was able to see anything else, bones filled his vision .

It was a golden skeleton .

Different from the bones of the slaves and craftsmen that were really weak, this skeleton looked as if it was made from pure gold . It was shiny, but it was a lot smaller than an ordinary person; it was only about 1 . 2 meters tall . The skeleton was complete, and it was standing there still . Its arms were grabbing onto a huge battle axe that had a red fire symbol on it, and the skeleton looked like it was guarding and protecting something .

……

……

“Shiz! The mercenary group is done…… fortunately, I have a Plan B!”

With the fires in the background, one of the six top fighters of Blood-Edge [Earthy Tiger] Cahill looked at the buildings that were being devoured by the flames . He was running away with 20 of his henchmen and the treasures that he accumulated over the years .

Blood-Edge’s headquarter was really big; with huge defense wall-like buildings that cut off the access from the outside, there were only four exits .

[Earthy Tiger] Cahill and his henchmen looked relieved as they were only about 20 meters away from getting out on the west end .

As long as they could get out of this exit, they would be able to disappear into the capital like a drop of water into the ocean; zero traces of them could be found as they were really familiar with the terrain and the structure of St . Petersburg . After all, every bastard had his own escaped planned out ahead of time; they were confident that they couldn’t be traced by any organization .

“Quick, follow me…… Right, Andy, did you bring those two girls?” Cahill asked in a low voice .

“Head, don’t worry, I got it . ” A short and thin mercenary with an eye patch sneered . Beside him, there was another tall and strong mercenary . Both of them had a big bag on their shoulders, and it was clear that two people were locked in the bags under the light of the moon and the torches . However, it was obvious that those two girls’ mouths had been stuffed . They were only able to whine in desperation .

“Too scary! Real scary! Who is that mysterious mage with that mask? He is a devil from hell! The leader with five-star ice-elemental warrior energy is quite a character in the empire, but that devil easily chopped his head off . ” One of the mercenaries sighed as he staggered .

“Doesn’t matter who he is… . . We made it out…… Hahaha, when we actually get free, we can vent off our frustration on these two girls, heheheh . ” Some mercenaries were just glad that they were lucky .

“Shut up, all of you!” Cahill turned around and shouted in a low voice: “I have plans with those two girls, so don’t lay your fingers on them! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless . ” His expression looked cruel .

All his henchmen didn’t dare to say anything .

After seeing this, Cahill turned his head back around . However, before he could keep running, his pupil contracted, and cold sweat slid down his forehead .

In front of him, there was a man with a huge sword stabbed into the ground . This figure was bulky, and he was standing in the shadow of the walls . With a set of mysterious armor, this man looked like an invincible lion . He was wearing a layer of stars, his red hair was fluttering in the air, and his capes was making a lot of noises in the wind .

Powerful . A terrifying sensation came off of this figure .

The mercenaries only took one look at this man, and they already felt like they were like stray dogs standing in front of a king of the jungle . The flood-like momentum that was being given off by this man was shocking .

“Who…… Who are you?” Although Cahill was a strong character, his voice was shaking as he knew he was no match for this man .

“Blood-Edge?” The man asked with a clear voice .

“Who…… Who are you?” The mercenaries’ face changed color; they knew that this man was after them .

“Are you guys a part of Blood-Edge Mercenary Group?”

Tick, tick, tick…… It was the noise of upper teeth colliding with the lower teeth rapidly . The mercenaries had already sensed the murderous intent coming off of the man, and they felt like this was their end . They had imposed this desperation feel onto their powerless victims, and they felt like great rulers of other people’s destiny . However, when they were on the other side of the table, they suddenly realized how scary the desperation was .
