Chapter 242 – Déjà vu (2/2)
This undoubtedly proved that something was going on!
“Momm! Momm!”
“What, don’t pull on me, I’m still troubled… although we’re in first, but something happened on the island, shouldn’t we quickly check it out with the people from Heino Kingdom?”
“That’s right! We have to go find them!”
“Haha? What are you so emotional for? … Hey! Woos, what’s with you?”
Momm continuously complained and when he turned around, he saw Woos’s sorrowful face, and it looked like he was about to cry.
“Momm! Look! The crystal pillar…” Woos pointed at the thick pillar and quivered, “Our points, it was just plundered by Bamboo Academy!”
“Hah? What did you say!??”
He nearly jumped out of his skin at the news!
Why is it Bamboo Academy again?
They just picked up the scraps from Heino Academy, so why is them again? Doesn’t Lin Xiao always boast about how smart he is, did he get taken advantage of?
Or… were they also done in?
Realizing the danger, Woos couldn’t be bothered with much more, even if the soldiers already locked it down, he was still going to get on the island with Woos.
In the beginning, the captain tried to stop them, and said that the head judge Jennifer already gave orders that no one was to leave the camp. But Woos said that someone multi-cast seventh-level magic and caused an earthquake, so he couldn’t obstruct him anymore and sent a small team to go along with them.
After they left, the remaining people became even more alarmed, but what was more scary happened next…
Who knows where they came from, but a large group of people wearing white robe suddenly appeared at the camp! They all had overwhelming presences and none of them seemed like an ordinary person!
They barged into the camp, ignored the passerby’s and directly revealed their identity… they were the strongest force from the Holy Light Church, the Crucifix Guards!
Why did they appear here? Was there going to be a war?
They didn’t say much, like soldiers on a mission. They split into two, one group heading towards the lakeside church, and the others climbing into boats, following Woos onto the island.
Reinforcements?
Woos ignored the boats behind him. According to the signal from the crystal, they should be in the center of the island, so as soon as they landed they rushed towards where it happened and finally arrived in the afternoon.
When Woos stood at the entrance of the remains, he was flabbergasted.
There were the corpses of multiple hideous monsters, the ground was also covered in huge craters, and the ancient remains was on the brink of collapse.
Not just Woos, but the soldiers from Heino Kingdom were also dumbstruck.
No one knew what these monsters were, and also who used such a terrifying magic to crush all these monsters, but what happened here definitely wasn’t just as simple as an assassination…
They investigated further and followed Woos into the remains and finally found Loran Academy’s students in a hidden cave in the deepest part of the remains.
The originally dim cave was now exceptionally bright because of the hole someone opened overhead them. The light shone in through the hole and illuminated the interiors, forming a solemn and dignified light pillar and made them feel veneration like it was a shrine. Surrounding the ‘shrine’ there were multiple people lying around it, unconscious, there were also three hideous monsters like the ones outside, like offerings for the Gods.
A sacred pillar of light, abundant offerings, the only thing out of place was the master servant pair crying in the center of the ‘shrine’
“Master! Are you okay!?”
“Elena! I-I’m fine…”
“But master, you’re injured!”
“No, it’s okay, these injuries are nothing… rather than me, they’re the real heroes, they saved us!”
“Wuuu, master! It’s all my fault, in order to protect me…”
“Don’t cry, silly. You’re my maid, how could I leave you behind?”
Within the pillar of light, Lin Xiao and Elena embraced each other without any shame in front of Woos and the others.
“Lin Xiao? Elena? You guys…”
Other than the two of them, they were surrounded by people with familiar faces lying on the floor.
Woos should have been happy to see those two safe, but he stopped smiling.
For some reason, Woos had an uncomfortable sense of déjà vu.
