The sewers of West Coast City. Novels, Mandarin, novels...
Ellie Jones had gotten used to the pungent stench of the sewers. She was walking briskly in her rain boots.
However, from time to time, Ellie would turn around and check on Charles beside her.
Or more accurately, Tally Landsky.
Ellie Jones hoped to see a pained and uncomfortable expression on Tally's face.
However, to the girl's disappointment, Tally Landsky's face was calm throughout the whole process. Although the transformation potion had changed her appearance, any expression could still be seen on her face.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be one of Simones' trump cards.
However, Elli Jones really wanted to know how Tally Landsky knew that Simones had such a potion in his possession.
She had only read about the potion in the books that her teacher had.
It was her first time seeing it in real life.
As for the other mystics' collections?
Maybe there was.
It was more likely that there wouldn't be any.
After all, the Blood Moon Incident had affected the West Coast mystics too much.
Other than the legacies, the biggest loss was the collections of the various factions.
Precious potions and items.
Rare items and books.
All of these were the main reasons why the mystics fought each other.
One side's plunder would cause the other side to hate them.
As a matter of fact, ever since the Blood Moon Incident, the West Coast and East Coast had always been hostile towards each other.
Tally Landsky answered the little girl's curiosity with the information she got from the Landsky family.
It was natural that Ellie Jones didn't believe a word of it.
Such an excuse could only fool a child.
Although Ellie Jones wasn't that old, her years of experience had granted her maturity far surpassing her peers.
Not only did Tally Landsky know about Simones' secret potion, but she had also come up with this plan to confuse and stall for time.
Kieran believed that Tally Landsky was hiding something from her.
However, it wasn't the right time to ask.
They weren't the only ones in the sewers.
The torchlight was the only source of light in the sewers.
When the light shone, a group of mice squeaked.
They didn't run away but stared at Ellie and Tally with their green eyes. Even though it wasn't the first time Ellie was being stared at by dozens of green eyes, she still felt uncomfortable.
In the next moment, an opened test tube appeared in the girl's hand.
A faint and not pungent smoke with a different smell drifted out of the test tube.
Immediately, the group of rats that seemed to be ready to pounce a moment ago scattered in panic.
This was also the only trouble they would face during this journey.
At the end, Ellie pushed open the secret door that required a secret chant to activate. A large, brightly lit room appeared in front of her.
It was like a room in a small square, with passageways leading in all directions.
Every passageway was engraved with mystical runes.
The number of runes in the small square was ten times more than the passageways.
From Ellie's point of view, all she could see was a sea of messy codes. Other than a basic nine-pointed star magic circle, she couldn't see anything else.
It was too dense.
Such a dense magic circle was the work of Nikorei when she was young.
Back then, Nikorei didn't get the title of God of Earth but she had already made a name for herself in many aspects of the mystical realm.
She was young, curious and had a strong thirst for knowledge.
Nikorei's strength continued to improve by leaps and bounds.
Some successful test subjects and half-successful test subjects also appeared.
The defensive magic circle before her was a half-completed one.
As a disciple, Ellie Jones didn't know why her teacher made this defensive magic circle and didn't know why she didn't finish it.
She found the magic circle in one of her teacher's notes.
Coincidentally, when Kieran mentioned building a defensive outpost, she told everyone about the hidden magic circle under West Coast City.
The whole thing was just a coincidence.
It was like some kind of arrangement.
However, Ellie Jones wasn't Kieran, she wouldn't think too much.
Especially when she had other tasks to attend to.
"Let's begin!"
Ellie Jones said.
"Yes!
Ellie, go take care of that side, I'll take care of this! "
Landsky said in Charles' voice.
"Okay!"
The young girl nodded and walked towards the other passageway.
The moment she stepped into the passageway, an air-breaking sound came from behind her.
Arrows!
Listening to the strong wind, Ellie Jones made a precise judgment.
Then, she dodged to the side.
Souuu!
The arrow grazed her body and went into the end of the passageway.
The young girl could clearly hear the sound of the arrow hitting the wall.
It must have destroyed the magic circle!
The thought came into Ellie Jones' mind but she didn't even have time to check before more attacks arrived.
Sou Sou Sou!
Three arrows appeared out of thin air in front of her, all shooting towards her at the same time.
At the same time, a figure appeared behind the arrows and swung a dagger at her throat.
When Ellie Jones managed to dodge the three arrows, the dagger was already inches away from her throat.
However, the dagger couldn't move an inch further.
A tremendous force appeared on the woman's neck along with Ellie Jones' palm.
Crack!
A clear noise later, the woman's head made a 180 degree turn.
The body fell to the ground.
Ellie Jones looked at Landsky angrily and scolded her, "Landsky!"
This was completely different from their initial agreement.
If she hadn't branded the spell [Void Hand] on her glove, she would have been dead by now.
He was already dissatisfied with Tally Landsky, and after she broke her promise, he exploded.
But Landsky turned a deaf ear to Kieran's scolding.
Her eyes even looked a little dull.
Even an idiot would notice something was wrong.
Let alone the smart Ellie Jones.
She quickly waved her hands and retreated when she realized something was wrong.
A pair of invisible, millstone-sized hands appeared in front of her in the form of a shield.
But …
"Not bad, not bad!
What an interesting move! "
A voice sounded behind Kieran.
Kieran wanted to turn around but a bone-chilling cold spread from her back to her whole body. She could even feel her heart freezing.
A deep, sinister, and gloomy shadow appeared in front of the young girl out of thin air.
Black covered the figure's body and face.
Only a pair of scarlet red eyes could be seen.
The pair of eyes was sizing up its prey with interest.
"Don't worry!
You won't die!
You won't die either!
I will torture you two and let you suffer the most horrifying punishment! It's not a challenge for a woman! "
"Transformation potion eh?
Troublesome! "
The black figure said as he walked towards Tally Landsky.
Black smoke came out from the figure's hand and enveloped Landsky. The transformation potion instantly lost its effect.
"Tsk Tsk!"
When he saw Tally Landsky's true appearance, the black figure immediately gasped in admiration.
Then, it strode towards Tally and reached out its hand to grab her coat.
Landsky was frightened as she looked at the approaching hand.
The toughness of the past was long gone.
All that was left was her true face.
Fear and despair.
Despair started to surface on her straight face.
Even when she saw Ellie Jones struggling, she was still terrified.
She knew Landsky couldn't save her.
After all, Landsky was the Fallen.
The Holy Knight's nemesis!
Such a monster wasn't something Landsky or Ellie Jones could handle.
In fact, there were only a handful of people in the mystical realm who could handle a monster like Landsky.
Maybe Landsky could.
Out of nowhere, a face that she hated the most popped up in Landsky's heart.
However, it vanished into thin air right after that.
That hateful bastard was still in Ciaran City, how could he be here?
Fate was really cruel!
Tally accepted her fate when she saw Kieran's black fingers were already touching her coat.
She smiled bitterly.
She was ready to give up.
If she couldn't fight, she had to learn to give up.
She hated that phrase a lot.
That was why she had been struggling all this while!
Whether it was showing her dominance or fighting for power, it was all for the sake of struggling, to prove herself to those bastards.
But now …
What else could she do in a hopeless situation?
Hope was long gone.
Landsky closed her eyes.
Then …
"How ugly!"
