Chapter 2094 - 1172: Descending into the Depths

"Didn’t expect that mysterious entity to be so malicious!"

Catherine’s starry eyes grew even redder as she tightly clenched her fist.

In the elite army that vanished, most of the Blood Clan’s foundation was included. Not only Spirit Wand Prince Valentin, but a few other Blood Clan princes and dukes were also missing.

"These damn bastards! I won’t let them get away with this!"

Louise once again bared her little fangs, surrounded by an intense black and red aura.

"Calm down, we have yet to fully explore this Underground City, and we haven’t found any exit. It seems being trapped here was part of their plan."

Leo Ray took a deep breath, nodded to everyone, and said, "This way, they will have no hindrance to their plan until everything is completed."

"Your Highness the Prince is right, we are the last hope, we must not let them succeed!"

Feeling the impressive Blood Clan aura from Catherine and Louise, old White, though trembling, mustered the courage to express his agreement.

Noticing the resolute look on White’s old face, Leo Ray nodded slightly.

Even though we are at a disadvantage in this battle, with White and others joining, we have at least brought the remnants of the Grimm Kingdom under our banner, which is a small comfort.

"Now, with the New King Hull already dead, combined with Lawrence’s forces, the entire Grimm Kingdom is effectively a part of my territory."

"Let’s have Lawrence ascend to the throne quickly. Although their methods of control remain formidable, it marks a new beginning for the deeply poisoned Grimm Kingdom."

Leo Ray thought so while nodding to Catherine, "No time to waste; let’s move out immediately."

"Your Highness the Prince, please follow me, we have found another Passage."

Catherine understood and immediately flew towards the other side of the Gate.

Following Catherine and others’ guidance, Leo Ray arrived at a new area inside the Gate.

It was an extremely vast Underground Square, almost endless at a glance, appearing incredibly spacious.

Occasional dried-up Fountains and shattered sculptures scattered across the ground, covered in dust with a sense of age.

Moreover, as Catherine and others mentioned, the stone floor was covered with fresh footprints, most of the war boot prints were familiar to Leo Ray, coming from his upgraded vast equipment.

"Your Highness the Prince, we were initially transferred to this vacant Square area."

Catherine’s solemn voice once again reached Leo Ray’s ears, "Upon discovering your absence, we began searching and found two closed Gates here."

"But due to the Absolute Defense Barrier on the Gates being so sturdy, we couldn’t make any headway until Your Highness opened the Gate from the other side."

After Catherine spoke, Jasper Richardson and the other two main force subordinates nodded with lingering fear, clearly worried about Leo Ray’s earlier disappearance.

"I already said, with the cards up your master’s sleeve, even I wouldn’t be able to do anything if he went berserk, so nothing would happen easily."

Louise shrugged, raised her eyebrows, and said, "Understand now?"

After speaking, Louise curiously looked at Leo Ray and asked, "Prince of the Human Race, how did you alone withstand an army of 300,000?"

"Just a minor trick, nothing to boast about."

Looking at the carefree True Ancestor of the Blood Clan in front of him, Leo Ray smiled helplessly and replied, "If Miss Louise were there, I believe you would have also emerged unscathed."

"Indeed, but it’s a pity Valentin and those guys are so disappointing, it infuriates me."

Louise stomped her foot and furrowed her brow again.

"Don’t worry, as long as we haven’t fallen, the pursuit of hope never stops."

Leo Ray’s steady voice echoed in the vast Underground Space, soothing everyone’s tense emotions significantly.

"By the way, Alien Prince, why was the Defensive Barrier that even I couldn’t open so easily dispelled by you on the other side?"

Louise’s puzzled voice once again reached Leo Ray’s ears.

"I already mentioned earlier, it’s naturally because of our new partner Little Jie."

As Leo Ray answered, a look of confusion appeared on his face.

The Absolute Defense Barrier on the Gate, although extremely sturdy, was difficult for even multiple Tier 5 Powerhouses to break through.

But Catherine, Louise, and Taylor’s combined strength was close to genuine Tier 6 Experts, yet still could not budge it at all, which was indeed surprising.

After all, Little Jie at just Tier 5 Level could easily break it.

"Little Jie and others mentioned that these Defensive Barriers were identical to the secret technique Little Jie used, but not set by Little Jie herself. Could it be because of this that only Little Jie at Tier 5 could break it?"
