1334 Doom of Holy Rock City Part 2 (1/2)

Saleen saw all of that while he was on the Floating City, but he was unable to spare any effort to save the common folk. His astrology reminded him that what was happening down there was but a game for the abominations.

It had been quite a while that the ground of Holy Rock City had been taken. The abominations were taking their time killing people, baiting soldiers who were out to rescue them. The thousands of royal swordsmen had emerged from underground to rescue the people on top.

However, it was a trap. The abominations trapped the royal swordsmen and took their time to slowly to torture their prey. If it had not been Saleen showing up, the warriors out to rescue the people above would have ended up all killed by the abominations.

The level nine sorcerer was taken up to the Floating City by Isabella. The sorcerer met Saleen and spoke in a rather haughty tone, ”Your Highness Saleen, please act faster. The abominations are attacking the underground.

Saleen was not angered. He said, ”The map of the underground city. Hand it over.”

The sorcerer was dumbfounded and replied, ”That is the secret of Holy Rock City. I can't give it to you.”

The people around Saleen laughed at the same time. The young sorcerer was slightly irked. As he scanned the room, he quickly found that he was actually the least capable in the room in terms of powers.

”Your Highness, you and his majesty signed a secret treaty,” the young sorcerer said. ”Are you not trying to help at all?”

”I'm here for Lex. You blabbered a lot and never told me anything about Lex. If something were to happen to Lex, I'd say to hell with whatever sh*tty treaty I signed. I'd see to it that Holy Rock City gets completely obliterated.” Saleen used Thundering Shock as he said those words.

The young sorcerer was sweating, and his hands and feet turned cold. It was something invoked by Saleen's powers not because the sorcerer was weak.

The sorcerer was affected by the shocking skill and had no choice but to bear with it and say, ”I apologize, your Highness. I only have less than 1 percent of the entire map of the underground city with me. Her Highness Lex definitely has more. She is now at the depths of the underground city and won't be engaging the enemy for the time being. I'm unable to tell her specific location.”

”Out with the map you have then,” Saleen ordered.

”Indeed.” The sorcerer was rather dazed as he magically drew the map on the magic paper that Saleen handed to him.

It was only after he was done that he realized he had leaked the secret of the underground city. Then again, the sorcerer was not an idiot. He quickly realized that Lex had withheld information regarding the underground city from Saleen because she had no intentions of becoming empress.

Everyone knew that Lex intended to take the throne. Saleen would become a prince of sorts. It was not wrong to tell him about the underground city. As long as Saleen kept quiet about it, no punishment would come to him.

He thought, Even if Saleen were to say it, is Lex really going to punish me for it?

The sorcerer stood there thinking. All of his previous haughtiness was nowhere to be seen. He stood there looking rather awkward.

Saleen warmly said, ”I take it that no harm came to you. If you're indeed unharmed, come with me to the underground city.”

”Are you going down there yourself, your Highness?” The sorcerer grew anxious.

Saleen was going to become the future empress's husband. If he were to end up dead, there would be no way for the sorcerer to settle the matter with Lex.

”Relax, I can handle things. Let's go,” Saleen confidently said.

He handed the Floating City to the water puppet and Sika. Saleen left Sika out that time since the underground city was dangerous and most of her movement skills relied on her beasts. If the underground turned out to be a tight place, it would be difficult for her huge beasts to maneuver.

Saleen brought Nailisi, the Winged Skull, Rafel, and four level 10 mage trainers, as well as 400 metal angels and 3,000 Bug Angel Warriors. They flew down from the Floating City to Holy Rock City.

Eleanor was still high up in the air.

As Saleen passed by, he said, ”Eleanor, regardless of what happens down there, unless level 10 professionals show up, stay out of the fight and let the Bug Angel Warriors take care of things.”

Eleanor nodded as Saleen headed straight for the ground.

Holy Rock City had only been around for a little more than 1,000 years, yet the construction of the entire city took several hundred years. The outer walls showed signs of self-repair after they were taken down. The location Saleen was heading toward was at a huge royal compound right behind the royal palace.

There was a man-made lake at the royal compound and a small island on the lake with surface areas spanning only several hundred square meters. There had been a magic tower on the island, which had been toppled.

”There is an entrance to the underground city right below the magic tower,” the sorcerer said as he pointed at the broken tower.

Saleen nodded and had the Bug Angel Warriors guard the place after they landed. He unleashed several star figures on the spot, instructing them to rebuild the magic tower.

Huge elemental creatures were summoned by Saleen. He told them to hold the broken half of the tower steady. Level 10 Elemental Stone Statue Soldiers were twice as tall as the tower they were fixing.

Suddenly, hundreds of monsters emerged from the lake.
