Not long after Baiyi left, the survivors felt two explosive energy waves and a series of thunderous sounds coming from afar. Coupled with the slight trembling of the ground, even if they were not there, it was enough for them to imagine what kind of terrifying battle was going on there.
Under the leadership of a female priest of the church, the people involuntarily knelt on the ground and prayed for their only hope. They hoped that he could defeat the powerful enemies and return in triumph. If not, the remaining people who had completely lost their will to fight would have no chance of survival under the hunt of those terrifying guardians!
There were also people who suggested if they should go and help, but at that moment, the three Demigod powerhouses were all dead, and those who were slightly stronger had long since died in the hands of the guardians. The remaining people were either injured or not good at fighting, so the dozens of people who survived could only choose to wait where they were.
Perhaps God had heard their prayers? Finally, they saw a battered and battered armor limping towards them from afar. The crowd erupted in cheers, and they scrambled to Baiyi's side.
However, Baiyi came back with bad news. "These guardians are very powerful. I've used everything I've got, but all I've managed to do is severely injure them and stop them from moving. I can't kill them, and their wounds are healing very quickly. Maybe they'll catch up to us again soon," Baiyi said.
"What … What do we do now?" The survivors panicked. The Demigod-level fighters were gone, and Baiyi, the only person they could count on, was severely injured. However, the threat of the enemy was still there. Were they going to die here?
"Don't panic, everyone. At least I managed to buy some time," Baiyi explained. "When I was fighting them, I had a brief conversation with them. Their mission is to guard a treasure hidden in this black castle. I don't know what it is, but if we can get our hands on the treasure, we might be able to find a way out of this predicament."
"But aren't there more guardians in that eerie castle?" The female clergyman, who had unknowingly become Baiyi's biggest fan, asked.
"I don't think so. If there were, they would've sent them to deal with me already. Did you guys notice anything out of the ordinary while you were here?" Baiyi asked.
The clergyman shook her head.
"That's right. The three Demigod-level fighters must've killed most of the guardians for us, and the rest are temporarily immobilized. Our only hope now is to enter this castle and find the treasure."
"We'll do as you say!" the female clergyman said.
"Good. Everyone, follow me. Let's go!" With a wave of his hand, Baiyi cast a levitation spell and flew over the high walls of the black castle. The rest of the group quickly followed suit, using their own abilities.
However, as soon as they entered the castle, they felt a surge of energy coming from afar. It grew stronger and closer. The guardians were clearly recovering.
The crowd began to panic, as if the end of the world was upon them. Baiyi was the only one who tried his best to maintain order, allowing the crowd to remain calm.
"Everyone, don't panic. Spread out and search for clues about the secret treasure. Seize the last moment, this is our only chance!" Baiyi said loudly. He took out a communication tablet from his inner pocket and handed it to the cleric girl, who had been staring at him with a longing expression. "I'm going out to buy some time. If you find anything, use this to contact me."
"But … your wounds …" The female clergyman hugged the tablet tightly to her chest and looked at Baiyi worriedly. "Why don't I go with you?"
"It's okay. Don't forget that I'm a Soul Armature," Baiyi said. He patted the clergyman's head. "Your brown hair is beautiful. Don't die in a place like this."
With that, he leaped into the air again and flew towards the source of the ripples. The priestess stared at his back as she hugged the stone slab in her arms even tighter.
She would never have guessed that Master Hope, whom she worshipped and admired, would land beside the three Divine Warriors and say, "That's enough. I'll send you out, and we'll meet back at the palace."
The three barbarians nodded. Then, Huskar asked, "But Brother Hope, after all this trouble, have you found the thing you're looking for?"
Baiyi nodded. "I found it the moment I entered this place. The only thing I did was to make sure I didn't have to worry about it later."
"Your way of thinking is so complicated …" Huskar muttered. His vision began to blur and darken, and when the light returned, he found himself standing next to a pile of corncobs.
'Should I bring some corncobs back to Harrogath?' Huskar had already forgotten about his previous doubts. Instead, he began to ponder about a more important question.
As Baiyi had said, the moment he entered the realm, he had discovered that this was the Book of Servitude. In other words, the Book of Servitude was the only thing that could maintain and manage this realm. The moment he activated his Realm and entered this space, he had already become the new owner of the Book of Servitude.
Just as his teacher had said, Baiyi was merely walking into this realm and taking back what was rightfully his. The Book of Servitude had already been readjusted when it had first awakened.
The Archmage was not lying or lying to Baiyi. Everything was as simple as that.
However, the Archmage had taken into account Baiyi's personality and other factors, so he had made the process a little more complicated. He had hoped that his student would be able to ascend to the throne of Rohlserl in front of everyone. Even if Rohlserl was no longer around, as long as the Emperor was still around, the country would still be around, right?
Of course, the Archmage did not expect his student to be able to pull off so many tricks on a stage like this. Not only did he manage to reap so many benefits, but he also managed to turn a simple succession ceremony into something even more exciting.
Because Baiyi had inherited the Book of Servitude, he was able to alter the terrain of this realm at will. He could create any building he wanted, teleport anyone he wanted, and set up formations that emitted energy waves. In short, other than the fact that he could not create life out of thin air, there was nothing he could not do in this realm.
This entire space could be counted as his domain.
'What a powerful Divine Weapon …' Baiyi could only sigh in awe at the power of the Book of Servitude. Suddenly, he received a message from the Cleric Walker. "A graverobber who claims to be a Scholar has found something that looks like an underground vault. The secret treasure might be inside. She told me to come back immediately."
"I made it so obvious, and it took me so long to find it? This time, the Tomb Raider World is really bad … "Baiyi muttered under his breath. After creating a series of violent energy waves, he flew back to the black castle.
By now, all the survivors were gathered in the vault, frantically rummaging through it. Although it was called a vault, it was not filled with gold, silver, or other treasures. Instead, there were piles of black metal plates that might have once been gold coins, black stones that might have once been gems, and armor and weapons that crumbled to dust the moment they were touched.
The constant energy waves outside had caused everyone to enter a state of frenzy. Other than the Cleric Walker, no one noticed Baiyi's return.
"I don't know how long this place has been around, but it's not like these things were properly preserved. They're all junk, except for that secret treasure!" The graverobber who had first discovered the vault said in a dejected tone.
"But where's the secret treasure? Where's the secret treasure? " A Northerner, who had lost half of his left arm, grabbed the graverobber's collar in excitement. "Is there anything here that looks like a secret treasure?"
"You're asking me? How am I supposed to know?" The graverobber shrugged off the Northerner's hand. "This castle is so big! Who knows how many treasure vaults there are like this?"
"Then aren't we just wasting our time? Wasting the time that Master Hope sacrificed his life to buy for us? "Someone else asked in a stern voice.
"Everyone, calm down!" Baiyi yelled. "I've set up a formation to trap the Guardian. We still have time! Everyone, calm down!"
"Master Hope! Master Hope is back! "
"Master Hope, what do we do now? This place is so big, and we don't even have a clue where the secret treasure is … "
"It's over! It's over! I'm going to die here!"
The people surrounded Baiyi and began to talk at once. They were in a state of panic, and they were about to lose their minds.
Just when the crowd was boiling with anger and the situation was getting more and more chaotic, Baiyi knew that it was time for him to make a speech. So, he walked up to the stage as if he was going to give a speech, "Everyone, don't panic. Look through everything around you carefully. Maybe the treasure is among them!"
As he said that, he casually picked up a large black book from the ground, as if he was going to demonstrate.
Unlike the other books, the book did not turn into fine sand. Instead, it began to glow with a golden light!
"Secret treasure!" Someone exclaimed.
"It's glowing! This must be the secret treasure! Master Hope found it! We're saved! "
