Chapter 139 – The Second Guardian
After attaining the golden boots, Lei Yu did not stay put for too long, since he hadn’t used up too much of his internal energy in the previous battle. From his point of view, he hadn’t even used up ten percent of his energy.
It’s not that the troll Titan hadn’t been strong enough; it was just that the troll’s strength was rather average in general. Whether it was his defensive or his offensive powers, they couldn’t match up to Lei Yu’s. Titan had to rely on the golden boots in order to exceed Lei Yu in speed, but that was simply not enough. The speed of his leg movements had been increased, but the strength of his attacks hadn’t been changed. If he had encountered an ordinary person or someone with the strength a level lower than Lei Yu, then Titan would have easily won. But unfortunately…
After wearing the battle boots, Lei Yu felt that his body was as light as a swallow. Walking was now a lot easier, making him feel that there were indeed a lot of bizarre things in the world.
Even so, he did not dare to be careless, because there were still three guardians left. And there was also some kind of super expert that was able to create such a labyrinth, and to even seal someone in it.
Within the dimly lit labyrinth, Lei Yu’s feet kept moving forward. He went down plenty of dead ends, and he’d had to change paths. Lei Yu had lost track of how many times this had happened already.
In another area.
In the throne hall, Telephassa’s originally clear eyes, which had been brimming with vigor before, had now become lifeless. From time to time, she would look distracted. Or, at times, she would look like as if she’d remembered something, and would start giggling. And there were times when she would start sighing out of the blue. It appeared that her mind was completely filled with thoughts of Lei Yu, unable to forget his haunting and dreamy smile. Especially that kiss before he left! It had made her unable to forget!
“Your majesty!”
There was no response from Telephassa. She was sitting upon her throne, staring in one place as if she hadn’t heard anyone call out to her.
The warrior that had rushed into the throne room once again raised his voice: “Your majesty! We’ve received an urgent message!”
“Oh?” After recovering her senses, she replied, “Report.”
“Your majesty, there’s an enemy invasion coming from the West, which isn’t far from our territory.” Cold sweat was already breaking out on the warrior’s forehead. During this time of prosperity, they hadn’t experienced any wars for quite a while now. The sudden appearance of a large-scale enemy seemed to be caused by a rumor that had been spreading around.
A serious look now appeared on Telephassa’s charming face. “Investigate their intentions thoroughly before reporting to me again!”
“Understood.”
A middle-aged man with yellow hair and dressed in a gray robe stepped forward. “Your majesty, the enemy must have received news about Silo’s injury, or else they wouldn’t have dared to act so rashly. What should we do now? With Silo’s present condition, there’s no way he can go out to battle.”
“How are Silo’s injuries looking?” Telephassa asked.
An elderly man wearing a white robe stepped away from a side pillar and into the middle of the hall. “Your majesty, although Silo’s injuries weren’t life threatening, in the short run, there was no way he could participate on the battlefield. And since one of his two lives had already died, his current body’s power could not be compared to before any longer.”
The previous middle-aged man in gray coldly harrumphed. “It’s all the fault of that guy called Lightning! He dared to injure our guardian, he deserves to die!”
“You shut your mouth!” Telephassa suddenly stood up from the throne, her eyes staring at the minister who had made the impertinent remark. “If I ever hear those words from you ever again, Silo is still capable of ripping you into shreds!”
This minister shivered, and then replied while trembling: “Yes… Yes! Understood!”
The enemy’s army got closer one step at a time, but they didn’t dare to attack. Although they knew about Silo’s condition, after all, Silo was still a terrifying fiendgod entity. There was no way the ordinary people could take him on, even if he was injured.
In the barren wilderness, about a hundred thousand troops were surging forward. In front were the war horses, opening up the path for the eighty thousand infantry soldiers; their magnificent combined aura was enough to overwhelm everything.
At the forefront of the army, there was a 3 meter tall horse, 4.2 meters in length, entirely covered in armor. On the back of the horse was a warrior clad in a heavy golden armor carrying a sword which gave him an extremely mighty look.
An elderly man on the side, wearing a long light cloth robe, looked at this mighty warrior, eyes filled with respect. “General Williams, we’re about three days from the empire right now, so should we stop to rest?”
“We will annihilate the enemy all in one go!” The majestic aura had all the warriors on the sides fill with passion. The eighty thousand soldiers in the rear started shouting out slogans in a heroic spirit. This actually frightened all the birds and beasts within a ten mile, radius making them run away in fear.
