Capítulo 2553: Chapter 1408: The Deepest Scene (Part 2)

Then, Leo Ray brought his thoughts back to reality and began to assess the current situation.

After the intense battle earlier, some of our strong fighters sustained minor injuries, but they weren’t serious. However, among the leaders under the Young family’s sibling, a few were more severely injured, though they received proper treatment.

In other words, our combat power hasn’t suffered much loss. The only obstacle left is this giant gate in front of us.

As soon as Leo Ray thought of this, he was suddenly surprised to discover.

The immovable Magic Barrier on the giant gate showed clear signs of fluctuation, as if it were about to open.

“What’s happening?”

Noticing this scene, the surrounding strong fighters from our side all turned their attention, casting confused gazes.

“It turns out the ‘Key’ has always been in our hands.”

Leo Ray quickly realized this and waved his hand, saying, “Everyone regroup, the final challenge is about to start!”

Upon hearing Leo Ray’s command, the scattered strong fighters in the surroundings swiftly flew over and quickly re-formed their battle formation.

In the grand array, at the forefront were the Ancient Dark Elf experts responsible for scouting, followed by the Dragonborn. In the center was the flower and Wood Fairy experts with Leo Ray and other members of the Human Clan. The flanks were held by Troll experts, with the rear guarded by Treant experts, making a well-organized lineup.

Following behind, naturally, were the leaders brought by the Young siblings.

“Brother Chen, what’s going on?”

Qunnie Young approached Leo Ray, full of doubt, asking: “What does it mean that the ‘Key’ has always been in our hands?”

“If I’m not mistaken, we only have one of the ‘Keys’, and there’s more than one gate. Only when all ‘Keys’ are gathered in front of the giant gate, will all the gates open simultaneously.”

Leo Ray nodded, signaling the strong fighters to reapply enhancement effects while responding.

“Liam Sanders, are you saying that each Lord approaching this closed area equals having a ‘Key’?”

Ethan Young quickly understood, enlightenment dawning on him: “In other words, as long as enough Lords get close to this closed area, it will automatically open?”

“Yes, the ‘enough Lords’ you mentioned most likely refers to all the Lords remaining in this arena.”

Leo Ray slightly nodded, affirming, “To be more precise, this immovable giant gate has once again gathered the remaining Lords on the same starting line, and next, it will inevitably start a melee to seize the so-called treasure.”

“Got it, that’s indeed the most reasonable explanation.”

Qunnie Young’s fair face was filled with solemnity as she nodded heavily: “It seems that the next moment is the key that will determine whether we can escape.”

“That’s right, but the Lords who have come this far are certainly not ordinary; their strength will at least surpass those guys earlier.”

Leo Ray, looking at the increasingly fluctuating metallic giant gate, suggested to the Young siblings: “The way ahead must be extremely perilous. You all can stay here, and once I succeed in seizing the treasure, you will also gain the qualification to return.”

Hearing Leo Ray’s words, Ethan and Qunnie Young couldn’t help but exchange glances, a trace of hesitation flitting across their eyes.

Liam Sanders’ statement was correct, once all the gates of this closed area open, numerous strong fighters will swarm in. With their overall combat power and that of their subordinates, it indeed compares to a moth flying into a flame.

However, this hesitation only lasted for a moment, as their expressions quickly became firm again. Ethan Young stepped forward and stated with a solemn face: “Liam Sanders, our strength is indeed quite limited, but every extra bit of strength means more hope in seizing the treasure. If you don’t mind, we are willing to fight alongside you to the end!”

“That’s right, no matter how insignificant, we are willing to lend Brother Chen a helping hand!”

Qunnie Young gripped her Magic Wand, agreeing: “We don’t want to hide behind Brother Chen, but rather, we want to fight side by side with him and take our destiny into our own hands!”

After the Young siblings spoke, the other strong fighters behind them also appeared determined, nodding vigorously, including those who were injured but stayed, all with resolute faces.

“Understood, then let’s proceed according to the current formation.”

Seeing everyone’s unwavering expressions, Leo Ray said nothing more, slightly nodding: “However, we’re going to move quickly, so we can’t afford to look after all of you. You can act accordingly from the rear position.”

As Leo Ray’s voice faded, Little Jie spoke up with a stern-sounding: “Lord, the Magic Barrier is about to be completely lifted!”

Upon hearing, Leo Ray looked up and saw that the energy flow glimmering on the metal giant gate was indeed becoming dimmer, almost in a precarious state.

Crack.

Accompanied by a crisp unlocking sound, the previously tightly closed metal giant gate slowly opened.

Seeing this, Jess and other Ancient Dark Elves at the front reacted the fastest, their figures flickering in an instant, some merging into shadows, others directly darting out, cooperating with extreme tacit understanding.

Afterward, Leo Ray and other strong fighters followed suit without hesitation, shooting out like meteors, speeding towards the depths of the ship cabin area.

In an instant, the Young siblings saw in surprise that Leo Ray, surrounded by a halo of purple light, moved at a speed not inferior to ordinary Tier 6 Experts, disappearing into the depths of the new ship cabin area in the blink of an eye.

“The intricacy of this Thunder Attribute Magic is in no way inferior to my Talent-derived comprehension.”

While Qunnie Young sighed in her heart, she and Ethan, along with others, also began to advance.

However, due to most of the team being Tier 5 Powerhouses, their speed was noticeably slower.

In the core position of the team, as they dashed forward with extreme speed, Leo Ray noticed.

This new ship cabin area was significantly wider, filled with houses everywhere, and if not for the lack of a ceiling, it would be indistinguishable from a small town, exuding an ancient and damp atmosphere everywhere.

As for the owner of this place, Leo Ray obviously didn’t have time to scrutinize, only occasionally seeing a few skeletons scattered in various places, from which one could infer by their shape that they were some humanoid race, or perhaps even the Human Clan.

Having passed through several such small town areas, a wide cabin passage came into view of the group.

This passage was quite spacious, wide enough to accommodate ten people walking abreast, and at the end of the long passage, a faint gleam of light appeared, suggesting the treasure’s location.

“Your Majesty of the Humans, this place is extremely, unique!”

Jess, who was scouting ahead, soon relayed his voice through Magic Communication.

“Don’t rush in further, wait for us to arrive.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly, darting straight into the passageway.

In the blink of an eye, Leo Ray traversed nearly a thousand meters of the passage, and his view suddenly widened.

The area here was equally vast but extremely empty, with only a large Altar standing at the center.

And at the very top of the Altar, a dazzling golden sphere was clearly visible, almost mesmerizing.

“Lord, it seems that is what we are here to find!”

Xiao Jing’s starry eyes brightened, looking eager to try.

Hearing this, other strong fighters from our side were all rejuvenated, ready to act at a moment’s notice.

Although that item was in the center of the area, with our strong fighters’ speed, retrieving it would only take a split second!

“Don’t rush in yet, take a look.”

Leo Ray calmed his mind and didn’t advance immediately, pointing to the area around the Altar.

On the ground surrounding the Altar were numerous freshly dried bloodstains, appearing sticky and thick. Although no bodies were visible, the expanse of red blood was still shockingly gruesome.

In other areas, bloodstains were also abundant, but the density wasn’t as intense as around the Altar.

Moreover, both inside and outside the Altar stood neat human-shaped statues upright, with the posture of Guardians, standing proudly, their hollow eyes sharp, watching every direction around the Altar.
