Chapter 686 (2/2)

“I just want to do some sunbathing…”

“Damn it, who brought up this subject?”

“Miss Betty.”

“I just wanted to make some casual conversations. This is the body I wanted to have in the first place…”

Elena got a little upset and shouted, “stop it! Don’t forget the purpose of our trip! The others were still waiting for us at the top of the tower. Concentrate your mind!”

She led the team into the secret tunnel after Carol finished treating the wound.

They got up to the library through the tunnel. Another group of witches looking like God’s Punishment Warriors were waiting there.

These witches were the remaining members of the Union.

Elena sighed in her heart, “lady Natalya, have you seen? We win in the end.”

She asked, “have you found the location of the relic?”

Zoe, the leader of the other team, came up and said, “the old place. Everthing is arranged in the same way as that in the Holy City of Taquila. By the way, why did you spend so much time down there? Are you sure that you didn’t let go of a person?

Elena coughed twice and said, “of course, everything went well, so by agreement…”

“We’ll touch the relic together.”

She nodded, saying, “that’s it. Let’s get started.”

This relic, the deities’ legacy, was the origin of Battles of Divine Will and the top secret of the Union. In fact, before the collapse of the witches’ empire, none of them had known about it. When the old order had disintegrated and they had hidden underground, all the survivors like them had finally heard it from the Three Chiefs.

From then on, they had become equals and formed a classless group searching for the way of defeating demons, as they had been clear that each and every survivor of the Union would have been equally important in this process.

Thinking that she was going to touch an object created by deities, Elena felt her heart was beating faster.

However, she knew it was just an illusion, as she could feel nothing in this body.

Following Zooey, she walked through a trapdoor behind a book shelf and got up to the top of the library.

Up there, she saw a narrow room without a window, which had nothing inside except a Magic Stone giving out dim blue light above her head.

“Is this the Prayer Room mentioned by Pasha?”

“Yes.” Zooey lifted up an iron hammer and smashed it against the wall. With a dull thud, it left only a small white spot on the wall.

“It doesn’t seem to be here.” she said and chose another position to hammer. After several attempts, the wall area opposite to the entrance cracked.

“Find it! Come here to help me,” Zooey said.

Elena drew out her long sword and came up. They struck at the wall together and soon opened a gap which was half their height.

Looking at the gap, they found that the broken wall was almost as thick as half an arm’s length and both sides of the wall were brushed with a thick layer of mortar. Given that, they could never find this section of hallow wall simply by knocking at the walls and listening to the knocking sound. Looking through the gap, they found a even smaller secret chamber instead of another passage leading to the underground.

In this chamber, Elena saw the relic of deities.
