Chapter 254: The Sly Old Mans Visit (1/2)
When the two Transcendent Incarnations left, the remaining seven Mortal Incarnations fell into disarray. All of them couldn't believe that the two left without instructing them of what to do next.
True, they only have Mortal strength at the moment but they're also a Transcendent in their World. Well, given that Remi didn't even give them so much as a glance after giving them instructions earlier. She probably didn't deem them as comrades but subordinates.
And since they're just an Incarnation, no one of them will die anyway.
Because of that, Ezyn and the others finally got a chance to end them. One by one they disappeared into motes of Dark Energy. To not waste anything I used the tanks to store the Dark Energy they left behind.
A Level 2 Source Energy is still a precious commodity after all. Even a drop counts. Too bad the Psyche Energy is still in that state. It could only be used for our Unique Abilities. Otherwise, that one will surely speed up everyone's cultivation, especially if it is released on Earth. The Dark Energy will not have any chance to permeate even if they breached it and that would probably spell the end of that Dark Cult. And in turn, it might become our chance to launch a counterattack.
I wonder what is really needed to awaken the World's Will of Earth?

After gathering again, I told them what happened in the Core Room as well as in the Portal Room as we moved towards it
All in all the time we used in clearing this place was less than three hours. If not for the complex rooms which could lead one to a dead end, we would have cleared this earlier than this.
When the kneeling Dark Elf saw me entering the room again, I saw her face brightened as if she found a savior but upon seeing the others behind me, her face froze, especially upon seeing Yumiko.
”I see. So this is the Dark Elf who surrendered. How long has it been, Elena? Aren't you the one sending your tribesmen to their deaths? And now you're the only one left.”
With a sneer, Yumiko addressed the Dark Elf woman. The others also have the same reaction. It's as if seeing the previous Boss who kept on making things difficult for them to turn into someone they can defeat in one strike.
That's how low she dropped from her previous state. She might not have any honor but all of those were for the chance to live.
Well, she can live but she will never be trusted again with anyone's lives. If she will be given a chance to live in this world, she needs to convert her adapted Source Energy to Spirit Energy if she wants to blend in.
Elena soon looked down and with a very downhearted voice, she uttered her reason.
”I… I don't want to die yet.”
However, Yumiko responded with which it crushed her hopes.
”Do you think we will let you live? Just your existence is already a threat.”
”But he said…”
She scrambled to her feet and turned to my direction. She stared at me with a hopeful outlook that I will speak for her.
”I told you, your fate will be up to them. Don't look at me. I'm neither a native nor the Helper of this world. You should appeal to them and not to me.”
After saying that, I took the two girls with me and we continued to move towards the Portal Room. She was then left in the hands of either Yse or Harlan.
It's time to look for more loot before going back to the surface.

”They're out! My daughter! Are you fine? This… your clothes are tattered. Do you have any injury?”
Jayce shouted upon seeing us and dropping what he was doing, he ran towards his beloved daughter and inspected her state all over.
Well, he's interrogating another Dark Elf who probably escaped from the front entrance. But based on that Dark Elf's strength, he's not even Rank 4 Mortal. Elena will be able to provide more information.
”Ugh. Father. I'm fine. I fought someone stronger than me which resulted in burnt parts of my clothes. Daisuke's always with me so nothing serious will happen.”
Jayna shook her father off and immediately ran behind me to escape from his grasp.
After a while, everyone exited the Labyrinth using the front entrance. Elena, after being given the chance to live by Yse and Harlan as long as she will spit out everything she knows, showed us the passage inside the Core Room which could only be accessed there. It led straight at the entrance saving us the time to find a way to walk back from every room we passed through.
Since she knew that escape path, she really gave up and bet everything on surrendering rather than escaping by herself.
Ignoring Jayce's doting act to Jayna, my eyes observed the surroundings and caught someone I expected to show up.
