Chapter 334: A Somewhat Covert Operation (2/2)
Crash!
At the very instant Argentum was finished talking, the sound of glass breaking could be heard from Felix's side, which originated from the glass flask he dropped. Imitating the sound of one clearing their throat, Felix then responded to Argentum's words in the most serious tone as the connection between them was cut off.
”I'll be there in a few seconds.”
Whoosh!
Not even an instant after the connection between Argentum and Felix was cut off, a blue rift appeared beside Argentum, revealing an entity made out of dark blue energy stepping out of it. Of course, this being was none other than Felix.
Surprised that Felix had appeared beside him, Argentum was about to ask him how he was able to do that. Fortunately, Felix seemed to be reading his mind as he let out a light chuckle and replied, ”I used the contract between us as a location point. I then used my teleportation skill and well…I'm here.”
After quelling Argentum's curiosity, Felix then noticed that another being was with them, prompting him to look at her and let out a loud cackle as he said, ”Although it's been quite some time since we've met, I wasn't expecting us to meet up like this.”
”Neither was I, really,” Rosalia let out a laugh in response as she replied. After letting out a bit of laughter, Felix then took on a serious facade as he asked Rosalia, ”How long has it been since Melzarin and Eleanor started fighting?”
”Around ten minutes or so, considering the fact that I've narrated the reason why Melzarin is acting like that to Argentum right here,” Rosalia said as she pointed at Argentum. In response, Felix lightly nodded as he uttered, ”Although I'm sure that the area they're fighting in is more or less destroyed, there's still more than enough time for us to stop the fight.”
”I presume you two have decided to help Melzarin out?” he then asked, looking at both Argentum and Rosalia. Argentum then nodded as he said, ”I have a plan to help Melzarin out in winning Eleanor's heart once and for all, though I'll need the help of you two to do it.”
”I got some questions to ask you right now, but let's save that for later,” Felix said in response, letting out a playful chuckle as an aura of excitement surrounded him. ”In any case, it's been a while since I've done something like this.”
”Rosalia, could you sense where they are?” Felix looked at Rosalia and asked, to which the latter responded by closing her eyes for a second before nodding. ”I can.”
Soon, she did a few gestures with both of her hands as a great mass of Earth energy particles surrounded the three of them. Not long after, the mass of Earth energy particles disappeared from the room they were in, bringing them along as they soon appeared in a location outside the Desecrated Inheritance.
Swoosh!
At a certain location, three silhouettes were being built from the ground up by Earth energy particles, with the Earth energy particles dissipating not long after to reveal Rosalia, Felix, and Argentum. After they had appeared in the area, they then utilized all of their investigative skills to find where Melzarin and Eleanor were fighting.
Unsurprisingly, it did not even take a minute for them to find their location as the location they appeared in was at the fringe of what seemed to be an insanely large crater spanning a couple of kilometers. The surface of this crater was covered in what seemed to be scorched ground and soot, letting the three know that they were in the right place.
Without hesitation, Rosalia started to head towards the center of the crater at the fastest speed she could muster. As for Felix, he went ahead and wrapped Argentum in his energy before carrying him along at the fastest speed he could achieve. Inferring from Rosalia and Felix's words that they were fighting against time, he went ahead and cast all of the movement speed buffs he had on both Rosalia and Felix. He even cast [Symbiotic Resistance] on them to increase their movement speed even further.
After being applied with the movement speed buffs, the three did not take long to arrive at the center of the crater, though both Felix and Rosalia could not help but look at Argentum as if he was a monster. Rosalia was even more shocked since she did not know anything about Argentum other than the fact that he was powerful for his level according to Eleanor. This small thing he had done was enough for her opinion of him to rise to a considerable level, though she placed this thought at the back of her head for now.
Now that the three of them were above the center of the crater, they could now see both Melzarin and Eleanor standing their ground. Melzarin was currently covered in a vast array of shields made out of earth while wearing a suit of armor also made out of earth, while Eleanor currently looked like the matriarch of flames as dark crimson red flames covered her body in a dress-like form. Multiple wisps of dark crimson red flames could be seen hovering around her as well.
Seeing Eleanor's current state, Felix could not help but let out a sigh of relief as he said, ”Phew. Eleanor hasn't gone berserk yet. We've definitely made it in time.”
”Anyways, Argentum. What should we do?” he then looked at Argentum beside him and asked.
Although he was curious as to what Felix meant by Eleanor going berserk, he placed the thought at the back of his head as he knew what he had to focus on for now. Sending strands of energy to both Rosalia and Felix, he then told them.
”You two, go ahead and try to calm Eleanor down.”
”As for me…”
”I'll just have a small chat with Melzarin.”
