Chapter 451 - Chapter 451: Chapter 427: A Sudden Fierce Attack! (2/2)
At the same time, two low-level Monarch Extraordinary Exponents also arrived outside the mountain.
Not both of them were Rhea People; one was a middle-aged man with dragon scales on his face, a general of Rhea, known as the “Thunder Scale Claw Dragon.” He had fought in numerous wars, even boasting a certain fame in Cyart.
The other was an elderly woman wearing a pure white robe, missing her right eye, and ominously, she was holding a continuously rotating, somewhat eerie red eyeball in her left hand.
If Darren had seen that elderly woman, he would have been stunned for a moment because she was not one of the known Rhea Monarch Transcendents but a person from the Salvation Church!
Indeed, that elderly woman was a bishop of the Salvation Church in one of Rhea’s provinces, known as the “Hand of Salvation.” Supposedly, as a bishop of the True Gods Church, she would never partake in the secular battles between countries.
But the current situation was just as the intelligence previously provided by the Black Tide had indicated…
The Salvation Church and the Reforging Church had formally entered the fray!
Having retreated into the cave and hidden deep within the mountain, Darren soon heard an elderly female’s voice coming from outside.
“To the distinguished person who came from Cyart, I don’t know who you are, but I want to tell you that I am Bishop Bianchi of the Salvation Church, and I hope you can come out and explain your unpermitted intrusion!”
“Rest assured, as long as I am here, I will not let anything happen to you!”
Hmm? The bishop of the Salvation Church is actually working together with the Rhea people?
As for the assurances of coming out unharmed, Darren did not believe them at all and immediately shouted loudly from the cave:
“Fine, as long as Bishop Bianchi makes an oath, I will come right out!”
Instantly, there was no more sound from outside, and Darren clearly understood that they didn’t want to make an oath, which meant his guess was right—if he showed himself, it was highly likely he would be attacked.
“They should be able to roughly determine my location, they’ll probably lose patience and come in to kill me soon.”
Darren silently pondered and suddenly noticed a kind of irritating green gas “flowing” in from outside, the green gas looking very bizarre, and appeared to be some kind of poison gas!
“A spell or mysterious rare artifact’s summoned poison, or perhaps some extraordinary power contained within a bloodline?”
Darren silently pondered, and to him, equipped with his Blood Specter body, poison gas wasn’t a problem at all, but the issue now was the unconscious Yeager.
He did not know the extent of this poison gas, or whether Yeager’s physical condition could withstand it.
However, the next moment Darren was surprised to see a purple demon with only half of its body crawling out from Yeager’s shadow, which then turned into a liquid that covered Yeager, isolating him from the poison gas.
“You have more cards up your sleeve than I imagined, Yeager.”
Darren couldn’t help recalling Viscount Bast from the past, feeling that the demons Yeager had subdued over the years might even outnumber those of Viscount Bast. They might not be very strong, but their abilities were diverse and very useful.
A while later, he sensed the two Monarch powerful experts entering!
“Good.”
Darren immediately went deeper into the mountain and, without hesitation, summoned the “Emerald Ring” to hide in the shadows. It was a powerful rune artifact capable of ignoring defenses, with strike power enough to seriously injure low-level Monarch Exponents.
He planned to use the “Emerald Ring” to launch a surprise attack!
The next moment, Darren sensed a peculiar sensation as the ground around him started to shake violently, followed by the mountain wall nearby suddenly merging, constricting closer as if to crush him completely!
Darren had never expected such a slim probability to occur!
“Damn it! One of those two chasing after me can manipulate rocks and terrain, or are they using some mysterious rare artifact?”
He could turn into a specter to avoid the crushing stones, but what about the still-unconscious Yeager?
For a moment, Darren furrowed his brows tightly.
However, the tunnel was closing faster and faster, leaving him no time to think!
“Hmph!”
Darren stopped thinking and abruptly transformed into a dragon, his enormous size instantly breaking the surrounding rocks apart. The stone shattered!
As a dragon, he took Yeager into his mouth and forcibly opened up the tunnel inside the mountain, charging at the two enemies who had entered!
