Chapter 1520: Unexpected Gains and Return (2)
A surge of thrill rushed through Leo Ray as he accepted the pendant.
He understood that this object was precisely what he had yearned for.
Possessing this treasure, he was now able to honor his vow and free Pelican Princess Faye from the captivity in Radiant City.
“Fei’er aided me in vanquishing the Malevolent Deity’s Chosen Son previously; her contributions cannot be denied. As a powerful Chosen Son of God herself, she will prove to be a vital ally!”
While Leo Ray pondered this, the alert voice echoed in his mind once more.
[Notice: Kindly utilize the leftover moments wisely; only 10 seconds remain before your return to the starting realm.]
“Old City Lord, every gathering must conclude; it appears our farewell has arrived.”
Leo Ray clasped the wrinkled hands of the aged City Lord and inclined his head toward him along with the Divine Stone Generals and troops, declaring, “Our encounter was short, yet the impressions will endure forever. Your bravery and resolve shall guide us on our path ahead.”
“The feeling is mutual, even if reinforcements delay their arrival; else, I’d present Lord Brave to all!”
Broy’s grasp was firm as he shook Leo Ray’s hand vigorously.
As their hands parted, the environment around Leo Ray’s companions blurred; with a dazzling burst of light, they reappeared in the ancient ruins—now merely shattered remnants shrouded in shadows.
Guided by the illuminating orbs cast by his powerful subordinates, the path forward revealed enough to discern remnants of Observation City’s structures.
“I must admit, the sensation of traversing timelines never fails to overwhelm me, regardless of how often it occurs.”
Leo Ray composed himself and gazed upon the valiant fighters who had joined him in combat.
Including Moli, most of the powerhouses appeared worn and fatigued, but thankfully, he had managed to bring them all back. The major casualties were merely Broy’s dwarf elf alchemy puppets, nearly entirely destroyed.
“We nearly perished amid the ‘Corrosion,’ yet the rewards were abundant, including two unforeseen windfalls.”
Leo Ray inhaled deeply, reflecting inwardly.
The paramount achievement from this venture was the knowledge gained in resisting ‘Corrosion.’
“Human youngster, you’ve truly tested my limits; prepare a grand banquet for an entire week, or count me out next time!”
Moli’s pink hood remained stained with blood; she creased her forehead and added, “Plus, I require a fresh hood; this was a rare treasure, woven from Unicorn King’s wool!”
“That’s straightforward, no issue at all.”
Leo Ray arched his brows faintly, grinning: “Your Excellency, your assistance was invaluable this round.”
“Indeed, my skills are impressive!”
Moli raised her ashen complexion, her thoughts swirling.
As a distinguished figure among the Forest Elves, she recognized clearly.
The prime benefit from this expedition was the insights drawn from Old Broy, essential amid the approaching Great Catastrophe.
Moreover, she had observed a parallel domain firsthand, complete with altered time progression, a mystery absent from all Elf Ancient Books and the wisdom of the elders.
Everything else seemed trivial by contrast.
“It’s a shame those obstinate, haughty elders ignored my warnings; otherwise, I’d have shown them properly.”
With that in mind, Moli’s sharp ears sagged once again.
“Everyone, I realize you’re weary, but one final duty awaits before we retreat: scan for any traces of ‘Corrosion’ in this area.”
Leo Ray focused his thoughts and promptly directed a divided search effort.
Empowered by the Divine Stone Weapon, his subordinates retained the strength to confront ‘Corrosion’ even absent any Stone Spirits.
The ‘Corrosion’ Leo Ray mentioned was clearly the force that had afflicted Old Nick.
At Leo Ray’s order, the powerful fighters swiftly organized into compact teams and commenced their inspection. Only Broy’s dwarf elves, bereft of their alchemy puppets, a handful of gravely wounded powerhouses, and figures like Asher Porter stayed put.
“Broy, escort them back initially.”
Leo Ray gestured affirmatively to the Dwarf Elf King and commanded.
“With respect, Lord, I have another matter; kindly assign the withdrawal to Konet and the rest.”
Broy grinned at Leo Ray, showing no sorrow or regret for the lost alchemy puppets, despite them being the final reserves of the Dwarf Elf Kingdom’s might.
Noting Broy’s enigmatic grin, Leo Ray initially consented, then inquired with curiosity, “What’s your plan?”
“Come along, and you’ll see, Lord.”
Broy’s expression brimmed with eagerness, as he laughed and assured, “I promise it’ll exceed your expectations, Lord!”
“Then show us.”
Leo Ray replied with heightened intrigue, and even Moli, who had intended to retire for profound rest, trailed along out of curiosity.
Led adeptly by Broy, Leo Ray’s party navigated the ancient ruins mirroring Observation City, ultimately halting at a vacant plot.
This spot neared the City Gate of Observation City, though the ruin’s gate had long since disappeared, leaving mere void.
“Young one, why have you guided us here?”
Moli, glancing down at the diminutive Broy, questioned with utter bewilderment: “It’s completely barren.”
“Hehe, if it were simple to spot, it wouldn’t qualify as a surprise.”
Broy chuckled before respectfully signaling to Leo Ray: “Lord, I’ll commence.”
With those words, Broy’s visage lit with fervor, as he chafed his palms on the earth, tapping steadily and in pattern.
Soon enough, with a faint vibration, a wide tunnel delving below emerged in view of all.
“No fluctuations of Magic Energy—how did you manage that?”
Seeing this, Moli exclaimed in astonishment, while Leo Ray nodded pensively.
It resembled the apparatus by the dwarf elf encampment inside the Gate of Wandering, operated via a gravitational mechanism, where Broy’s patterned taps served as the trigger.
“So, this is a dwarf elf installation?”
Leo Ray nodded lightly, inquiring.
“Lord’s insight is sharp; let’s proceed nearer!”
Broy’s countenance overflowed with zeal, as he hastened into the Underground Passage.
Tailing his steps, Leo Ray’s group traversed the expansive, sloping staircase downward, arriving at an immense subterranean chamber.
“It’s truly here! Haha, our depleted forces are now restored!”
Broy’s jubilant shout quickly resounded in Leo Ray’s ears.
Positioned next to Broy, Leo Ray, upon beholding the vista fully, found himself in awe.
Arrayed before him stood orderly lines of humanoid alchemy puppets, akin to a dwarf elf ancestral storehouse.
However, these puppets appeared more robust, gleaming with a polished ebony luster. Numerous ones Leo Ray recognized—identical to those wielded by dwarf elf troops in Observation City!
“If memory serves, the foremost are Tier 6 Alchemical Golems, numbering at least a hundred, the Tier 5 Alchemy Puppets likely in the thousands, and the Tier 4 ones capable of assembling multiple legions?”
Moli’s eyes widened, her fair features alight with amazement.
Leo Ray beamed broadly, his excitement beaming forth.
This discovery vastly outstripped the foundations of any third-class power in the Outer Region; merely the Tier 6 elite combatants would effectively double his current total fighting strength! Such an enhancement was monumental!
