The next morning, the elves gathered their troops and set off.
This time, they didn't pack their luggage and only brought their weapons.
As for the important ancient books and souvenir works of art, they were all kept by the demigod Aurora in her own storage necklace and handed over to Cyber for safekeeping.
Cyber walked at the front of the troops.
He carried the holy statue of a goddess on his back. The statue emitted a radiance that extended behind him and connected to every member of the Frost Tribe.
This was a high-level technique that Cyber had gradually figured out after two months of battle. It was to use the power of faith to form a protective layer that covered the protector's body.
The advantage was that it was flexible and convenient. The disadvantage was that it consumed a lot of power of faith.
In the two months of battle, Cyber rarely used it. But this time, even if it consumed a lot of power, he had to use it.
If there was no more power of faith, it could be obtained again.
But if there was no one left, then there was nothing left.
The elves formed a long line and advanced in the wasteland.
Around Cyber were the elves of the Frost Tribe who had reached the Gold rank.
They were different from the elves of the Segers World.
Although the Frost Elves who entered the Abyss were similarly shackled by their race, as they escaped into the Abyss, they relied on the power of the Abyss to interfere with the power of the True Gods. After thousands of years of isolation from the main material world, as well as generations of mutation, these shackles had long weakened.
In addition, they continuously devoured the demons of the Abyss. They had gradually found another way to bypass the shackles and break through.
Although it was difficult, it allowed them to gain a foothold in the Abyss.
These gold-ranked elves were all experienced warriors.
They were the vanguard of the troops and would cut through the thorns in the upcoming battle. They would protect Cyber who was maintaining the Divine Barrier while opening a path to the light for the people behind them.
Behind them, the entire elven army was wriggling like a golden ribbon under the light of the Divine Barrier.
No one spoke.
Everyone's expression was solemn as they raised their spirits to 120%.
There were only blinding flashes of lightning in the dark night sky and bursts of thunder.
As for the demigod Aurora, she flew into the air and guarded the surroundings, protecting the entire troop.
Time seemed to pass very slowly.
But at the same time, it was very short.
Four hours after setting off from the campsite, the elves finally arrived at the foot of the Cliff of Sorrows.
Cyber exhaled deeply and lifted his head to look at the towering cliff.
The entire cliff was as black as ink, and it looked even more serene in the already dark Abyss.
The cliff was shaped like a right angle, and the side facing the elves was a slope that was sometimes slow and sometimes steep.
On the slope, a dilapidated city could be vaguely seen, blocking the path of the elves.
It was a huge city that was even more majestic than the City of Heaven's Chosen in the Elven Forest. However, it had long since become dilapidated and dilapidated.
Standing under the tall city gates, Cyber lifted his head to look at the mottled and damaged city walls. The conversation he had with Aurora before they set off echoed in his heart.
"Sir Cyber, we have to pass through the new Jade Lengcui to reach the top of the Cliff of Sorrows."
"New Jade Cold Jade?"
"It's the elven city on the Cliff of Sorrows, the stronghold where we lived for nearly eight thousand years."
"Eight thousand years … What a long time."
"It's already in the past … Sir Cyber, when the time comes, you have to be prepared for battle because there might be demons in the city. After all … They also like to stay in ruins like this."
"Then … We won't encounter fallen elves, right? Didn't you say that the Rocksand Tribe didn't escape from the Dark Tide two thousand years ago? "
"No … Even if they fell and became abyssal creatures, two thousand years is too long. It's enough time for them to disappear …"
"That's good. If we still have to fight with fallen elves, that would be too cruel …"
"Hmm?"
"Cough, nothing. Oh right, Lady Aurora, I have a question … "
"Ask away."
"Two thousand years ago … Why was the Rocksand Tribe completely destroyed? No matter how difficult the situation was, there should be people who managed to escape, right? "
"Sir Cyber …"
"Yes!"
"Do you know about Telepathy?"
"Telepathy?"
"That's right … After the Mother Goddess fell into eternal slumber, every tribe worked hard in their own way."
"The Frost Tribe believed that the Mother Goddess's soul must have returned to the Astral Plane or somewhere in the Void. So, we built a temple on the Cliff of Sorrows and prayed to the stars day and night …"
"And the Rocksand Tribe, under the leadership of Uriah, chose to revive their faith."
"Uriah's power of Law was the closest to the Mother Goddess's. He chose to sacrifice himself so that the Mother Goddess could be reborn in his body with the help of faith …"
"For that, he established a Telepathy with all the people of the Rocksand Tribe and raised the power of faith to the strongest."
"But … It was also because of this that the people of the Rocksand Tribe stayed in the darkness forever with his sacrifice in the Dark Tide …"
"However, without the Telepathy, I'm afraid that Uriah wouldn't have been able to burst out with power that surpassed demigods at the last moment of his life. In the end, he was able to hold back the evil god that was engulfed in the Dark Tide …"
"The sacrifice of the Rocksand Tribe in exchange for the continuation of the Frost Tribe … We carry their hopes on us, so …"
"We will continue to walk down this path."
"…"
"Sir Cyber …"
"I'm … here."
"The final journey is about to begin. You've worked hard along the way."
"No, compared to me, you're the one who has worked the hardest …"
"You're too humble … Also, I'll leave the rest to you."
"I, I know …"
"…"
Taking a deep breath, Cyber gently closed his eyes.
A few seconds later, he slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, his eyes were filled with determination.
He raised the sword in his hand and pointed at the broken city gate in front of him.
"My people, let's go! Let's … go home! "
His voice was filled with sincerity.
"Let's go home!"
The frost elves behind him also raised the rusty longswords in their hands.
Then, they strode forward and walked into the dark and silent city …
…
This elven city that commemorated Fei Lengcui had long been dilapidated. On the streets, traces of battle more than two thousand years ago could still be seen.
The buildings were full of mottled claw marks of the demons, which had long been eroded and blurred by the erosion of time.
On the ground, there were also some weathered white bones, some of which belonged to elves and some of which belonged to demons.
The entire city was dead silent. Only the sound of the frost elves' footsteps and heavy breathing could be heard.
The light of the Divine Barrier illuminated the surroundings, replacing the illumination spells and torches.
The long line continued to advance along the dilapidated streets.
The warriors looked around vigilantly, ready to fight at any time.
With the old elf Gando as the leader, several powerful frost elves clustered around Cyber in the middle. They were responsible for protecting him who was controlling the Divine Barrier.
As for Cyber himself, he was controlling the Divine Barrier while cautiously observing the surroundings. He used all the detection skills of his Hunter profession.
Behind him, the elven girl Estelle followed.
Although she was only nineteen years old, her strength had reached the Lower Silver rank. She also pursed her lips and held her short sword tightly.
It was quiet along the way.
It was as if the entire world had died.
However, the quieter it was, the stronger the sense of unease in Cyber's heart …
This dilapidated elven city was filled with the remnants of Abyssal pollution. The power of the Abyssal Abyss interfered with the aura. Cyber was unable to sense too far away and could only look around vigilantly with his naked eyes.
Gradually, the vanguard team went deep into the city. They followed the main road around the cliff and continued to move forward …
However, when the entire team was halfway through the journey, they suddenly stopped.
In front of the team, in the middle of the dilapidated road, a tall figure wearing elven armor appeared out of nowhere.
He stood there with his back to the team of Frost Elves, surrounded by a faint mist.
Cyber recognized him. He was one of the elves that Aurora had sent out to scout. He was a Lower Gold rank frost elf.
He had been sent out to scout the city a day ago.
"Abel? It's you? You're still alive? "
The surprised voices of the other frost elves came from beside Cyber.
At this moment, the tall figure with her back facing the crowd slowly turned around.
Cyber gripped his long sword tightly and raised his alertness to the highest level.
In the next moment, his pupils shrank.
The tall figure turned around.
What entered Cyber's eyes was a face full of sarcomas and pustules. The sharp ears on the side of his face proved his identity.
However, a small part of his skull had disappeared. A few ferocious abyssal worms were wriggling on the wound, tearing at the exposed bloody brain.
His expression was pained. His eyes were bulging and filled with fear, as if he had seen an incomparably terrifying existence.
Then, he stretched out his trembling hand and spat out a word with difficulty.
"Quick … run …"
Run …!
Cyber's heart was filled with shock.
In the next second, a ferocious black claw broke out of the ground and appeared under the elf named Abel, tearing him into pieces …
Accompanied by a low roar, the entire ground trembled slightly. A ferocious demon with scales and claws that was close to ten meters tall appeared in front of everyone.
"Demon Monarch …"
Gando's expression turned solemn.
The demon that came out of the ground roared towards the sky. His low voice echoed in the city …
The pressure of a Legend continued to spread, evil and crazy.
However, in the next moment, accompanied by the sound of something breaking through the air, an arrow that flickered with starlight flew down from the sky like a meteor. In the blink of an eye, it hit the roaring demon monarch.
Accompanied by a loud explosion and a bright light, the upper half of the demon's body disappeared.
Black blood continued to spurt out. He twitched a few times and slowly fell to the ground.
In the air.
Aurora was expressionless as she slowly put away the longbow formed by Divine Power.
However, at this moment, more roars came from all over the city.
Pairs of crimson eyes suddenly lit up in the windows on both sides of the road and at the doorways.
Those eyes were densely packed and innumerable, making one's scalp tingle.
Then, accompanied by a series of crazy and bloodthirsty roars, large and small black figures rushed out from the buildings on both sides of the road and rushed toward the elves like a tide!
"Inferior Demons, Great Demons … Not good, I'm afraid an abyssal nest has formed here. Quick! Prepare for battle! "
Seeing the figures rushing out, Gando's expression changed slightly and he roared an order.
The frost elves raised their weapons and their bodies flickered with the radiance of skills.
In the next moment, they fought with the demons that rushed up.
In an instant, the battle completely erupted.
Looking at the sea of demons that looked like a black tide, Cyber's expression turned solemn.
He took a deep breath and his eyes flashed.
"Praise life, praise nature, praise the great Eve!"
Then, he gently opened his hands.
The goddess statue behind him bloomed with dazzling light and a golden shadow slowly formed above Cyber.
The shadow raised the giant sword formed by the power of faith and fiercely slashed down at the demons that rushed up!
In an instant, the brilliance was boundless.
The sword energy formed by the power of faith spread out and formed a golden ripple. The demons that came into contact with it instantly fell down like wheat and turned into ashes under the brilliant light …
"Beautiful!"
Gando couldn't help but praise.
Then, he shouted again, "You're right.
"Quick! Everyone, seize the opportunity and charge forward together! "
The frost elves were invigorated.
They followed Cyber's footsteps and continued to slash the demons that rushed up as they rushed forward.
Looking from above the city, one could see a golden "ribbon" struggling in the black "sea" on the winding main road as it continued to move forward.
The roars of the demons and the shouts of the elves intertwined. Sword light flashed and light flashed.
Dazzling magic began to blossom everywhere in the team, like fireworks in the dark.
In the sky above the team, dazzling light would occasionally slash down and create an empty space. Then, the golden ribbon would quickly fill the space and move forward …
Although it was slow, the surging demons didn't stop the elves' footsteps!
Battles broke out everywhere, but the elves had the upper hand.
Gradually, the frost elves' vanguard saw the other side of the city gate that led to the top of the cliff.
Excited expressions appeared on their wart-filled faces.
However, Cyber, who was at the front of the team and controlling the divine barrier, felt more and more uneasy …
Too weak.
These demons were too weak!
Although there were many of them, the inferior demons were only at the Dark Iron rank. Even the greater demons were mostly at the Lower Silver rank.
Not to mention the golden shadow that he controlled with legendary strength, the frost elves' vanguard could kill them like cutting vegetables!
Such strength wasn't enough to make the frost elf Abel, who died in the hands of the scaly claw demon, warn them …
And as if responding to his uneasiness, when the elves were about to approach the other side of the city gate, the whole earth suddenly trembled slightly.
Then, a deafening roar resounded in the sky above the city.
The next second, gray fog filled the city …
