Chapter 2150: Chapter 1200: Depths of the Hall_2
As the group delved deeper, the slender dark red roots grew thicker, and the faint eerie blood glow on them became more dazzling, dimming the guiding light orb we had.
âYour Excellency, we are getting closer to the âsourceâ of these dark red roots.â
Elder Bingâs sharp gaze swept around as he frowned at Leo Ray and said, âMoreover, the enemyâs plan is rapidly accelerating, and these dark red roots are becoming more restless against us.â
Upon Elder Bingâs words, Leo Ray immediately turned his gaze to the nearest dark red root.
This root had grown so thick that it was beyond the span of two arms, undeniably following our group, with several other similarly massive roots around, exuding a bloodthirsty and greedy aura, clearly seeing us as nourishment.
Seeing this, not only Leo Ray but even Grey Elder and others furrowed their brows deeper.
Previously, everyone had tried, but even the attacks of Tier 6 Experts couldnât destroy these dark red roots, as they would regenerate almost instantly.
If that mysterious entity indeed started absorbing nourishment, we fear being tangled tightly by these numerous writhing eerie entities before even facing the opponent.
With this thought, everyoneâs speed reached its maximum, flying swiftly towards the depths of the sacred hall.
Darkness, blood, roots, corridors, halls, statues, sacred halls⊠one after another of these shocking scenes quickly flashed past our sight,
accompanied by the rushing sound as we sped along. Although this once sacred hall was now unrecognizable, under the guidance of the old bishop, we continued to press forward along the shortest route towards our destination.
âYour Excellency, be cautious. The Praying Main Hall at the deepest point is just within reach. It must be where the mysterious entity resides.â
Upon traversing a long concealed passage, Leo Rayâs vision suddenly opened up as Lorenzâs elderly voice echoed in his ear: âAt the end of the upcoming corner is a vast hall, the last gateway towards the Praying Main Hall!â
âDoes that mean a large number of obstacles might be arranged there?â
Leo Ray squinted slightly, speaking to everyone, âBe highly vigilant. No matter what appears ahead, nothing can stop our steps.â
Upon hearing this, our experts, surrounded by a magnificent aura, nodded heavily.
Just as the old bishop described, as soon as we turned a corridor, a vast open area came into view for everyone.
But when everyoneâs gaze converged at the center of the area, they couldnât help but be astonished.
There was indeed a giant door, but it and the surrounding walls were covered in scars, littered with rubble and dust, appearing in complete disarray.
Countless gigantic dark red branches had already breached the door and walls, standing on the walls like numerous antlers, resembling a flourishing dark red forest.
At the edges of these dark red branches, bright new buds were rapidly growing.
Clearly visible, these dark red branches appeared semi-transparent, with dark red energy continuously flowing within, being transmitted to the edges, almost suffocating to watch.
âIs this part of the dark red rootsâ core?â
Upon seeing this, Louiseâs fair cheeks were filled with astonishment as she blurted out, âHas the other side started absorbing nourishment?â
âDonât forget, as we are closest to the source, if the opponent has started absorbing nourishment, weâd definitely be the first to be attacked by the dark red roots.â
Leo Ray pondered briefly before denying it, âThis should only be a precursor to nourishment absorption.â
âHis Royal Highness is correct. Currently, the energy flow of these branches is quite limited, indicating they are still in the growth phase and havenât reached a stage where they can control everything.â
Grey Elder furrowed his brows and sensed for a moment before agreeing, âBut if it reaches the blossoming and fruiting stage, then nightmare and destruction might officially begin.â
âI agree as well, after all, those dark followers consider themselves as fruits.â
Yonirâs old face was full of disdain as he snorted, âThatâs such a disgusting analogy.â
âIf we attack these branches, could we delay the enemyâs plan further?â
Louiseâs starry eyes lit up as she blurted out once more.
âJudging by the energy fluctuations, this is just a small part of the branches. The true source isnât here; remember, those roots couldnât be eliminated before, and these branches are probably the same.â
Elder Bing shook his head, responding, âMoreover, even if we exhaust ourselves to scatter these branches, we canât harm the true source at all; itâd just be a waste of our energy.â
âIndeed, only by defeating that true mastermind, the mysterious entity, can we completely end all of this.â
Leo Rayâs gaze landed on the giant door, nodding towards everyone, âThe opponent is huddled behind the door. Itâs time to eradicate this source of evil.â
Just as Leo Ray finished speaking, hundreds of massive golden summoning arrays emerged from thin air once more, the robust figures of numerous Holy Light Swordbearers and Holy Light Chantors soon surrounding everyone.
For a moment, sacred golden radiance and deep blood-colored eerie light intermingled in the vast space, with a dangerous and fierce stench sweeping through.
Such a scene was anticipated by everyone. Seeing no stronger Holy Light Judicators appear, Leo Ray breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand, with 8 pitch-black Guardians and 18 metal giant dragons appearing subsequently.
That wasnât all; Leo Ray also summoned 50 Earth Guardians and Sky Guardians in one go, forming a battle formation, and began launching assaults towards the surrounding foes.
Yonir also did likewise, waving his robes and summoning 10 previously seen silver humanoid Tier 5 Alchemy Puppets, as well as over a hundred Tier 4 bronze Alchemy Puppets, similarly starting to engage the foeâs golem puppets.
After completing the summoning, the old Alchemist couldnât help but cast an awkward smile towards Leo Ray.
Earlier, seeing Leo Ray summon 20 Alchemy Puppet Dragons in one go, Yonir almost had his eyes pop out.
After all, even when combined, the whole Alchemist Guild could only produce about 20 Tier 5 Alchemy Puppets, some of which, owing to scarce materials, were in a temporarily unrepaired damaged state, having been unusable for a long time.
As for Tier 4 Alchemy Puppets, a bunch could be brought out, but compared to Tier 5 Alchemy Puppets, they were undoubtedly inadequate.
From this, it wasnât hard to see that Leo Rayâs grand move had, in a way, clearly surpassed the entire Alchemist Guild.
Noticing the old Alchemistâs awkward smile, Leo Ray returned a smile, not giving it much thought.
As long as we pass through this difficult phase, it wouldnât be long before he could elevate the alchemy technology and production capacity of the Human World to an entirely new level.
At the same time Leo Ray and Yonir promptly made their moves, Elder Bing and Grey Elder both displayed their abilities, summoning the earlier Tier 5 golem puppets and Tier 5 illusions, shooting straight towards the summoned opponents.
Everyone understood clearly in their hearts that with the decisive battle approaching, they naturally wouldnât let these summoned creatures slow our pace.
âCharge into the sacred hall!â
Thereafter, with his longsword in hand, Leo Ray slashed across, leading everyone straight toward the shattered giant door.
Upon nearing, the group effortlessly smashed the tottering door to pieces.
With countless shards from the broken door crashing to the ground, raising a cloud of dust, the mysterious hall hiding the source finally stood before everyoneâs eyes.
