CapĂtulo 2773: Chapter 1521: The Mysterious Emblem (Part 2)
âQuick, take me to have a look.â
Leo Ray nodded to the two and stepped forward.
Under the guidance of the twin sisters, Leo Ray soon arrived at a sunken area.
In the hollow about half a meter deep ahead, there were many broken bricks and gravel scattered, and at the center of the hollow, peculiar erosion marks were scattered abundantly.
The gravel there had completely melted, looking as if it had been soaked with water, yet there was no sign of moisture at all.
Moreover, these eroded hollows werenât isolated but spread across the entire area, numbering in the hundreds.
âThese are the marks left after âCorrosionâ is erased?â
Moli squatted down to examine for a moment, blurting out.
Leo Ray glanced at it thoughtfully and nodded.
Moli was right; after destruction, âCorrosionâ would turn into a pool of foul-smelling pus with quite a corrosive nature. The pus would soon evaporate completely, leaving only a similar hollow.
After experiencing the series of fierce battles in Observation City, the group was quite familiar with such marks.
âThere are even obvious mana traces above, which means these âCorrosionâ marks were erased recently.â
Moli stood up, patted Serena and Stella on the shoulder, saying, âIdentical sisters, well done, now we can just go back and sleep well!â
âBut this wasnât our doing; these marks were already here when we arrived.â
Serena shook her head and looked at Leo Ray, âLord, we have already asked our compatriots nearby, none of them have fought âCorrosionâ here.â
âIf it wasnât you, and it wasnât anyone else, Iâve been with the Human Clan youngster the whole time and never came to this area. Who exactly wiped out this small group of âCorrosionâ?â
Moli widened her starry eyes, a look of bewilderment on her face, âJudging by the leftover mana traces, these âCorrosionâ were erased less than half an hour ago!â
Having said that, Moliâs eyes brightened, and she blurted, âI got it. Did a mistake occur during the overlapping of space, transporting that old City Lord here? Or perhaps swapped a bit of land from there with here?â
âNot likely, donât forget it was the Deity who teleported us back.â
Leo Ray paused momentarily, dismissing Moliâs idea.
For the ability to instantly create a multitude of [Divine Stone] and Gate of Truth, even to descend billions of Lords here and alter time flow speed, its omnipotent capabilities remained unquestionable.
âWhat on earth is going on, then? Couldnât there be someone else here?â
Moli tilted her head, her face full of confusion.
âThis possibility cannot be ruled out, be vigilant, and thoroughly search the surroundings; we might find more clues.â
As a precaution, Leo Ray first instructed the scattered strong ones to regroup, then commanded.
Indeed, after everyone searched for a short while, they soon found a freshly carved mysterious emblem on a slab near the hollow area.
The emblem depicted a giant eye full of tendrils, unmistakably âCorrosion,â and above the âCorrosionâ pattern was drawn a large cross, splitting the âCorrosionâ into pieces.
Judging by the remaining mana traces, this emblem was evidently recently engraved here, spotless, certainly not a relic from ancient times.
âIâve seen this pattern somewhere before.â
Moli leaned closer, stretching her head to examine it for a while, her eyes brightened, âI got it, itâs the Erosion Eraserâs insignia!â
âErosion Eraser?â
Upon hearing this new term, Leo Ray first instructed the strong ones to guard the surroundings, then asked, âWhat is an Erosion Eraser?â
âHehe, this is a mysterious organization known only to first-class forces at the peak among the Ten Thousand Clans.â
Moli stood with her hands at her waist, lifting her chin to introduce to Leo Ray, âRemember, I once mentioned our Forest Elves confronted âCorrosionâ countless times? At the very beginning, we discovered the existence of the Erosion Eraser.â
âFrom sneaking around those old folks⊠no, from my research in Elf History Books, the Erosion Eraser, as the name implies, is a secret society specialized in eliminating âCorrosionâ.â
Moli shook her head, like a teacher, continuing, âAccording to Elf History Books, the group repeatedly engaged in fierce battles with âCorrosionâ at our domain without our permission, eradicating a massive amount of âCorrosionâ.â
âMy goodness, another mysterious organization?â
Leo Rayâs mind immediately flashed to the Black Abyss Brotherhood, involuntarily curling his lips, reminded of a series of unpleasant memories.
Afterward, Leo Rayâs frown eased, and he raised his eyebrows, âFortunately, this time the mysterious organization shares our goal, from a certain perspective, they could be seen as allies, right?â
âWhat allies? Human Clan youngster, did you listen to what I was just saying!â
Moli scratched her head, seemingly about to go mad, emphasizing, âI clearly said just now, they intruded into our Forest Elvesâ territory without our permission, then eradicated âCorrosionâ! Without our permission! Itâs literally challenging our authority!â
âGiven that our objectives coincide, aiding us in eliminating potential dangers to avoid nearby towns from being affected, they arenât necessarily enemies, are they? Your tone suggests how hostile you are towards them.â
Looking at Moliâs frantic demeanor, Leo Ray smiled helplessly.
âThatâs your thought, our Forest Elves donât need any external aid to effortlessly wipe out any âCorrosionâ that suddenly appears!â
Moli raised her small face again, continued, âFurthermore, you think those Erosion Erasers are benevolent? Theyâll stop at nothing to obliterate âCorrosionâ!â
âAccording to what I know, since the Blank Era, theyâve ambushed our strong ones on numerous occasions, and even destroyed several of our villages to seal off the magical ley linesâ eruptions!â
Moli grew increasingly frustrated, exclaiming angrily, âThis time in this desolate subterranean relic, you were lucky. If it occurred in a region filled with towns, who knows what havoc theyâd wreak!â
Listening to Moli, the people present exchanged bewildered glances.
If theyâre truly this reckless, they do seem like quite a trouble.
âBut ever since the Blank Era, Human Clan history has never recorded any incidents of collateral damage due to Erosion Erasers.â
The Grey Elder gently rubbed his chin, puzzled, âTo be more precise, the Human Clan has never documented anything related to Erosion Erasers.â
After the Grey Elder spoke, Broy, Crisis, Fanny, and other clan leaders nodded in agreement, clearly unfamiliar with these matters.
âThatâs why I said, itâs a matter known only to first-class forces, and why the opponent hasnât shown up elsewhere, or perhaps appeared unnoticed, I donât know.â
Moli shrugged, responding, âAnyway, from what I know, not only us Forest Elves, most other first-class forces also know about Erosion Erasersâ existence, almost all have fiercely clashed with them, and of course, our Forest Elves have never shown them a friendly face.â
âSince thatâs the case, what is the true identity of the Erosion Eraser?â
Upon hearing this mysterious organization could fiercely clash with first-class forces at the peak among Ten Thousand Clans, Leo Ray grew even more curious and asked.
âAbout thatâŠâ
Hearing the inquiry, Moli hesitated and stammered somewhat.
