Chapter 103: The Unravelling(4) - The New Era (1/2)

”What took you so long?”

The lamp posts embedded in the walls of the tunnel shone a light on the two figures.

The first figure was a black-haired middle-aged man dressed in heavy armor. He wore a gauntlet that, despite looking insanely big, perfectly covered his arms.

The second figure looked just like the first figure, except a bit older. Different from the first figure, the second one was not overly dressed in protective armor, he wore just enough! Plus, he wielded a black spear that was delicately made, with carvings of a black howling wolf on each end of the spear.

The two figures were easily recognizable.

They were King Caspian and Royal Duke Conan respectively!

Also, judging by the way they were dressed, it was obvious that they didn't just stumble upon the tunnel.

Being the two main figures in Aztec, they had detected something strange.

They were responsible for protecting the rift, something they had sworn with their life. So, it wasn't unusual that they would notice if the tunnel paths had been invaded.

The moment they noticed that their soldiers didn't come back for reports, they pieced everything together and knew it was the work of the mysterious organization.

The two brothers sniffed the air and frowned.

Due to their bloodline, their sense of smell was far above any cultivator of the same realm.

If concentrated to its peak, they could smell even emotions!

However, they didn't need to do that to sense that the air was foul.

They linked it up with the only thing that could cause such a foul air and instantly revealed looks of shock that gradually turned to fear.

Not wanting to jump to a conclusion, they sniffed at the air again and this time they found something else.

”Grif was here.....” Caspian's brows gradually raised into a curve, before he said his first words to the man in front of him, ”Speak, where is he?!”

He instantly unleashed his full domineering aura and every object seemed to defy the laws of physics.

The walls started shaking, with the ceiling threatening to fall. Even the grass got slammed to the ground by the aura of Caspian.

However, the pressure of the aura seemed to have no effect on the man in front of him.

The man with a bandaged arm, still displaying no signs of stress on his body voiced out, ”Who is Griff?”

He replied to his words, ”Oh...you mean that man. He is over there.”

Second Evil pointed his hands behind him at the wall, but Caspian and Conan knew he was not pointing at the wall, but what was behind it!

They didn't need the ability to see through things to notice that the nether rift was hidden behind the erected walls.

Due to their familiarity with this open space, called Eden's Garden by their ancestors, they knew that the wall Second Evil pointed at was just erected.

Therefore, they understood that what the man was pointing at was actually was what behind it, the rift.

Focusing their senses, they could hear messy footsteps heading out of the rift and into a channel path that was covered by the wall.

Without hesitation, Caspian shot his energy at the wall to understand what was going on behind the wall better, but it was deflected by Second Evil, who used his bandaged arm to punch it away.

However, Caspian wasn't annoyed.

His attack had two purposes; to understand what was behind and to ascertain the strength of the man before him.

Observing his surrounding, Conan posed another question to the man, ”Where are my soldiers?!”

He was replied by the man's hand, which pointed, again, to the thing behind the wall.

An aura exuded from Conan rampantly.

It stacked on Caspian's aura, but the two didn't make any other movement.

Instead, Conan showed his excellent control over his emotions and posed another question, a rather important one, ”So, you have opened it?”

Second Evil maintained his calm expression, under the combined pressure of both aura, not even his sweat betrayed him.

He cooly replied, ”Yes.”

Conan squinted his eyes, already getting a feel of the man, ”Who are you.”

”The Second Evil, Talon!”

This was the first time Second Evil, or rather Talon, had revealed his name. Even his men didn't know his name, only his title.

”Okay, Talon. What is your goal here?” probed Conan.
