#455 - Chapter 444: Strange Tall Figure
"What exactly happened?"
After ensuring that the several BOSSes within the canyon were not pursuing them, Arthurlant couldn't help but ask Jiang Han.
"It's just as you saw."
Jiang Han shrugged. "Those terrifying things were guarding a blue glowing object. You should have noticed it too, but I don't know if it's a Sacred Object."
"It should be."
Arthurlant took a deep breath. "Every time a Sacred Object appears, it causes all sorts of anomalies, but this time, it's just bigger."
"But the problem now is, it doesn't seem like something we can get our hands on."
Jialin supported his chin with one hand, lost in thought. "Including the previous Six-Winged Fallen Angel, there are a total of five level 100 Immortal BOSSes in this Barren Canyon, as well as endless ordinary Fallen Angels. Even if we all work together, it is impossible to break through this defense line."
"The only possibility is to avoid their line of sight and sneak in," someone said in a low voice.
Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Jiang Han.
If there was anyone present who could do this, it should only be him. After all, everyone had witnessed the speed of that pure white auspicious beast.
"I can't do it either."
Jiang Han naturally couldn't agree, shrugging his shoulders and saying helplessly, "If there was a way, I would have already taken the Sacred Object out, but there's no chance, and…"
He paused and continued, "The best opportunity may have already been missed."
"Is that so…"
Arthurlant and the others couldn't help but fall into silence.
Thinking carefully, it seemed to be the case.
If they failed the first time, then when they entered the canyon again, these terrifying creatures would definitely be on guard.
The difficulty of obtaining the Sacred Object later would only increase linearly.
"It seems we can only go back and ask the King for instructions."
After thinking for a while, Jialin said in a deep voice, "The current situation has exceeded the scope that we can handle. Only the King has the strength and qualifications."
"Indeed."
"Yes, it is."
As soon as Jialin's words came out, the others also echoed.
Indeed, with five Immortal-level BOSSes guarding, throughout the entire continent, only the King would have the qualifications to face them head-on. Anyone else would just be courting death.
"Then let's go back first and see what to do next."
The group quickly reached a consensus and embarked on their return journey.
The return journey was naturally smooth, and coupled with the fact that everyone was eager to return, not wanting to stay on the edge of this crisis-ridden forbidden area, the thirteen of them quickly returned to Apocalypse City together.
Ignoring the discussions of the crowd in the city, including Jiang Han, the group went directly to the Royal Court.
Inside the Royal Court.
"So, the birth of the Sacred Object directly awakened all the creatures in the canyon?"
"Are you sure, is it really the last Sacred Object?"
A low and majestic voice resounded throughout the hall. Arthurlant knelt on one knee, listening to the King's voice with a pious expression.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
He responded, "This Sacred Object emitted a deep blue light, shrouding the canyon. Although we didn't see its true form, anything that can cause such a great anomaly must be a Sacred Object."
"Moreover, there are five Immortal BOSSes guarding the area. We are indeed helpless, so we have come to await your instructions."
The air was silent. The King seemed to be thinking about something.
After a moment.
"I understand, step back," the low voice sounded again.
"Yes."
Although Arthurlant was still puzzled, he still respectfully stepped down.
"How is it? What instructions does the King have?"
As soon as he left the hall, Jialin and the others surrounded him, looking curious.
"Didn't say anything, just wait."
Arthurlant shook his head.
"Even the King feels it's tricky?"
Jialin frowned. In the past, when they encountered troubles and came to ask for instructions, they would get an answer quickly. It had never been like this before, like headless flies.
Either the King didn't have a better solution.
Or perhaps…
There was a better plan.
But in any case, they could only wait.
After all, with five Immortal-level BOSSes, no one could do anything.
…
Step… step… step…
Just when Jialin and the others were puzzled, deep in the hall.
Footsteps sounded slowly, echoing in the empty hall. A tall figure wearing a dark black robe, with an unclear face, was walking unhurriedly.
This figure was particularly tall, almost three stories high. Although the face could not be seen clearly, there were two clusters of purple flames burning in the eyes, which looked very strange.
But, even more peculiar was that behind this tall figure, there were actually three pairs of pure white wings.
If Jialin and the others were here, they would definitely be able to discover that this tall figure had some similarities with the Six-Winged Fallen Angel in the Barren Canyon.
However, the aura on his body was even more powerful, and those wings, not only were they without any damage, but they were also snow-white and flawless, as crystal clear as the finest jade.
Such significant characteristics would undoubtedly make people suspect the identity of this tall figure.
However, in Apocalypse City, this palace, which symbolizes the highest power, has only had one supreme existence qualified to stay here for a long time since several years ago.
Then the identity of this tall figure is self-evident.
He is the King of Apocalypse… the ruler of the Apocalypse Continent today.
The footsteps were still steady. The King of Apocalypse soon reached the end of the hall, and there, a altar was placed.
A gloomy flame was burning on the top of the altar, and there was a crackling sound of wood exploding, but the fuel for this flame was not wood, but a bone.
"In the deepest part of the ruins, Lucifer's inheritance is suspected to have appeared."
The King of Apocalypse spoke, his voice as low as ever.
However, there was less majesty, but more…
Respect?
Buzz!
As his voice sounded, the flames above the altar trembled violently, as if they were about to go out at any time.
After a moment.
"Take it back at all costs. This may be crucial for the sacrifice."
The altar gave a response.
And this voice seemed extremely cold and arrogant.
"Yes."
The King of Apocalypse nodded, and then said, "But there are a few tricky things there, and I don't have absolute certainty."
"Lucifer's backhand? Hehe, he is still so naive."
The cold voice sneered, and then changed to a condescending tone, "It doesn't matter, just go, there will be no accidents."
"If necessary, we…"
"Will come here in person and clear all obstacles!"
"Gods are irresistible."
