The Dark Serpent had a total of eight Venerable-level vice-leaders. Their positions in the organization were second only to the leader, Jassas. Meanwhile, the Ouroboros' leader, Sanderson, was the lowest-ranking Venerable.
Although the Irus Empire used to be the center of the human world, with the division of the human world, the gradual decline of the Irus, and the existence of the Radiant Church, caused this place to become the least important area.
Sanderson, who had the lowest status, was responsible for the development of the Dark Serpent in the Irus Empire.
The Cadier Family was the target that he had personally taken down.
Wasn't an ancient family that possessed enormous wealth but was unable to awaken a Heaven's Bearer due to a flaw in their bloodline? Wasn't that the best target?
He didn't even try to persuade him. He just showed that he could bestow power to others, and the old man (Frank) immediately surrendered. For an old man who was old and saw that Gerrit Terrance's scythe was on his neck, gaining power and prolonging his life was undoubtedly the most important thing.
Not to mention, he had been eyeing this power for many years.
On the other hand, Sanderson also needed the wealth of the Kadir family to raise his position in the organization. Therefore, both sides hit it off immediately.
Originally, Sanderson thought that he would develop step by step like this, working hard to improve his strength, and then slowly surpass the other seven Venerables. However, he didn't expect that an accident would allow him to discover important information in the remains of the previous Venerable.
The great leader Jassas was seriously injured in the second invasion of Chaos. He made a "strategic retreat" to the underground world and sealed all the passages between the two worlds. Then, he sealed himself in a place and planned to make a comeback in the future.
And the method and tools to awaken him were in Sanderson's hands.
The method and steps to awaken Jassas were written on the scroll, and sealed in the transparent ball of light was a part of Jassas' soul fragment. At the last moment of removing the seal, it was necessary to use it to resonate and awaken the sleeping Jassas.
After returning to Cesa's Strength, Sanderson's face was filled with fanaticism. He was the only one who knew about this extremely important news. This time, as long as he could awaken the leader, the Dark Serpent would rise once again, and he, Sanderson, the Ouroboros, would become the leader's most trusted Venerable!
After entering the cave, the first two days were a safe zone because the Crimson Rock Tribe's soldiers often patrolled the area. However, since the path was unfamiliar, everyone's progress was slow. From the third day onwards, they began to encounter magical beasts sporadically.
These magical beasts had all kinds of strange appearances and were completely different from the magical beasts on the surface world. However, they all had one thing in common, and that was, due to the dim light in most areas of the underground world, their visual organs had deteriorated. Instead, they used their sense of smell, hearing, and temperature to locate their targets. This made the adventurers on the surface world, who were used to using their eyes to locate their targets, suffer a great loss.
"Demonic beasts are attacking from the front! Threat Level: Tier 4! Type: Heart Devouring Devil, Petrifying Lizard, and Gargoyle.
When Depp heard the report from Danny, who was scouting ahead, he immediately responded, "Shield Warriors, spread out and take up positions! Rangers, prepare to fire from afar! Prioritize the Heart Devouring Devil! "
The Heart Devouring Devil was the name the dwarves of the Crimson Rock Cave called a magical beast. These soft-bodied magical beasts were very fragile, but they had very developed and soft tentacles. They were very good at mental attacks and mind control. Once they were controlled, they would attack their comrades in a frenzy. If the controlled person was about to die, the Heart Devouring Devil would control them and bring them to its side. Then, it would use its tentacles to drill into the victim's mouth and devour their heart.
In short, this was a very dangerous magical beast that had to be dealt with first.
Just as the warriors finished their preparations, a group of magical beasts flew out from behind the stone forest in front of the cave. They had all been attracted by the smell of blood from the battle just now.
What attracted the warriors' attention the most was the Heart Devouring Devil hiding among the magical beasts. Its entire body was translucent like a ghost.
Fiona had already prepared her spell when Danny gave the warning. The moment she saw the Heart Devouring Devil, a dazzling and scorching fireball flew out with a whistling sound. It directly hit the Heart Devouring Devil's head — if that was what it was.
"Whoosh!"
Two gargoyles with strong magic resistance were controlled by the Heart Devouring Demon to stand in front of him. With a bang, the fireball exploded on the gargoyles. Apart from blackening their skin, it didn't cause any damage.
"Ga!"
The explosion of the fireball instantly brought the battle to a climax. Dozens of flying magical beasts swooped down. They had the advantage in the air and brought great pressure to the warriors. On the ground, there were also Petrifying Lizards with strong physical defense. Once a person was hit by the petrifying light from their eyes, they would turn into stone. It was very dangerous.
Fiona stomped her feet in annoyance. "My Lord, your spell is clearly so powerful. Why is my spell not doing any damage at all?"
Tang En observed the situation while saying, "First, the difference in strength between us is too big. Second, the gargoyles' magic resistance is very strong. Third, you are too weak — Danny!"
"Understood!"
As soon as Tang En finished speaking, Danny, who had been waiting for a long time, raised his bow and aimed at the gargoyles that were swooping down. He growled, "Ranger team, multiple shots ready — 3, 2, 1! Fire! "
Danny's Homing Arrow was shot one step ahead, followed by the Ranger team's Multiple Shots. The rain of arrows instantly drowned the horde of gargoyles!
After that, Danny jumped to the top of a nearby rock and prepared to snipe the Heart Devouring Devil.
"Shield Warriors! Targets, three Petrifying Lizards! Shields, protect yourselves. Secondary weapons, aim at their eyes! Shields up! Shield Charge! "
Since Depp was in charge of leading the charge, he wasn't allowed to lead the charge this time. He had to stay behind and observe the situation. Aside from Depp, the other Shield Warriors immediately raised their tower shields and activated their Blood Force. Their bodies glowed with a faint light. Then, they let out a loud roar and charged forward step by step. Their speed became faster and faster until they were like a flood of steel!
The Petrifying Lizards immediately noticed them. The magic around them began to resonate and converge toward their eyes.
Fiona had already noticed the change in magic. She immediately shouted, "Watch out for the Petrifying Ray!"
The Shield Warriors immediately hid behind their tower shields. However, they did not slow down at all. Boom! Boom! Boom! They charged toward the Petrifying Lizards!
* Buzz! *
The Petrifying Ray hit the Shield Warriors' tower shields. However, it did not take effect.
* Bang! *
The Shield Warriors slammed their heavy tower shields into the Petrifying Lizards. However, the Petrifying Lizards, which weighed several tons, only trembled slightly. They did not suffer much damage.
"Eyes!"
With a loud roar, the Shield Warriors pulled out the secondary weapons behind their shields. They leaned sideways and stabbed the Petrifying Lizards' eyes with all kinds of daggers!
After the daggers pierced the eyes, the Shield Warriors twisted and turned the fist-sized eyeballs into a bloody mess.
* Hiss! *
The Petrifying Lizards were in pain. They immediately went berserk and bit at the Shield Warriors!
* Clang! *
The Shield Warriors beside them raised their shields and blocked the lizard's sharp teeth for their comrades!
The Petrifying Lizards tore at their shields in a frenzy. The Shield Warriors could even see sparks flying from the collision.
The Shield Warriors who were rescued did not say a word. They stabbed their weapons deep into the Petrifying Lizards' weak mouth. The pieces of flesh they cut off quickly blocked the lizards' throat.
* Bang! *
Another Petrifying Lizard suddenly swept its tail. The Shield Warriors were caught off guard and were sent flying.
* Bang! Bang! Bang! *
The place where they had been standing a moment ago suddenly exploded.
"The Mind Devourer's Spirit Attack!"
Depp's forehead was covered in cold sweat. If the Shield Warriors had not been sent flying by the Petrifying Lizards, their heads would have been blown to mush by now.
"It's mine!"
Danny's voice suddenly came from behind. Tang En turned around and saw that Danny had already locked onto the Mind Devourer with Eagle Eye. He was ready to shoot a powerful arrow. Dense magic and wind elements wrapped around the arrowhead, turning it into a real whirlwind.
"Go!"
Danny released the bowstring. With the help of the bowstring and wind elements, the arrow whistled through the air. In an instant, it broke through hundreds of meters and pierced through the Mind Devourer's body!
"It's done!"
Danny was overjoyed.
Twain nodded slightly. Although this Heart Devouring Demon was a level-4 magical beast, and there was a huge gap between its level and Danny's, its strength lay in its ability to control, but its body was very weak. As long as they lured away the magical beast it used to defend itself and then killed it in one blow, they could easily kill the Heart Devouring Demon.
After Danny killed the Mind Devourer, the tense atmosphere relaxed a little. Although the remaining Gargoyles and Petrifying Lizards were also difficult to deal with, and the weakest of them was at Tier 3, they could all be seen and touched. There was no need to worry about their teammates being controlled. Everyone's combat strength was even more outstanding.
In order to nurture their combat experience, Tang En did not make a move at the side. Instead, he silently observed them.
There was no doubt that after the systematic training, they had already grasped the basics of learning. The speed at which they absorbed combat experience was very fast. They had only been in the underground world for a few days and had only experienced a few battles, but compared to when they had just entered the underground world, they were already very different.
They were now real warriors who had been tempered by iron and blood.
Not far behind, the adventurers who were waiting to pick up scraps looked at the battle between Ellington and the warriors with envy. Although they were stronger, they did not dare to fight these monsters head-on.
This was because their equipment could not compare to the monsters at all!
"Gah!"
A fleeing Gargoyle was suddenly hit by a flying hammer and fell to the ground with a scream.
Loke laughed and wiped his face. "Brian, you did well!"
"Ah?"
Brian looked at the warhammer in his hand blankly. "It wasn't me."
Hmm?
Tang En was stunned. Then, he heard Nola's voice ring in his ear. "There's … a disgusting aura in front!"
Tang En's expression changed slightly. "Everyone, be vigilant!" “
The next moment, a few dwarves appeared. Their bodies were as black as ink, but their eyes were flickering with scarlet light.
Blackstone tribe.
