Chapter 741 - Hidden Talen (2/2)
The location that Lanley gave was a cave hidden in the mountains. One of the altars was located in this location.
The next morning, Han Xiao and the gang set off together with Tomar. In order to match Tomar’s speed, it took them half a day to reach the cave. The sky was already dark by then.
They stood outside the cave, and a chilly wind blew out from within the dark cave as though it was breathing.
Tomar shivered and said, “The demonic spirits will come out at night as their strength increases at night. We should set up camp outside and rest for the night before entering the cave tomorrow at noon.”
“That isn’t necessary.” Han Xiao shook his head. This mission did not pose any difficulty to him, and he walked into the cave with Hila, Aurora, and Feidin. Tomar hesitated for a while before gritting his teeth and following them.
The cave was filled with many winding tunnels with cold winds blowing from within. The deeper they went into the cave, the more obvious the cold aura being emanated from the cave. When they reached the depths of the cave, the demonic spirit aura was not covered in the slightest, and some faint muttering could be heard from time to time in the cave.
Tomar’s head was covered in sweat, and he looked around nervously, afraid that a demonic spirit would jump out and scare him at any moment. He held on tightly to the magical elixir on his waist and was ready to throw it out at any moment. His appearance was completely different from Han Xiao’s group.
“Wh-why don’t we return?” Tomar stammered with his voice trembling. “Although all of you are great wizards, we shouldn’t underestimate our enemy. There are three hundred demonic spirits in this place at the very least, and it would be extremely difficult for you to deal with them…”
Right after he said those words, a strange stone altar appeared in front of him. A few hundred candles were lined up by the altar and burnt with a green flame that seemed inextinguishable.
“This is the place. Let’s quickly destroy the altar and make our retreat!” Tomar said anxiously and was about to throw out his magical elixir.
Right at that moment, a bone piercing chill blew over, and a few hundred figures appeared in the surroundings, glaring at Han Xiao’s group coldly.
They are all demonic spirits…” Tomar’s eyes widened with shock, and his heart skipped a beat.
However, before the fear in his heart could explode, the cold aura in the cave melted away like snow in the sun.
The few hundred demonic spirits were all destroyed without even making a sound. They were all defeated in one hit by Feidin.
Their illusory bodies disappeared, and Tomar’s scream was stuck in his throat.
The scene before him had completely changed his worldview.
Just what happened just now? How did all the demonic spirits disappear?
Is a great wizard really so powerful?
“We just need to destroy this altar, right?” Hila waved her arm, and the altar turned to dust.
A notification of the second phase being completed popped up on Han Xiao’s interface.
The instant that the altar was destroyed, the cave began to tremble.
Boom!
Black fog floated up from the destroyed altar and formed a black whirlpool in midair. A wave of pressure was then emanated from the whirlpool as though a being was about to descend.
Tomar’s hair stood up on end, and he felt as though a ferocious animal was glaring at him. An instinctive feeling of fear rose in his heart.
“It’s the Demonic Spirit King…” Tomar’s voice became hoarse, and he was frightened to the point that he could not move.
The next second, an eerie voice sounded from within the whirlpool and echoed in the cave.
“A few bugs actually dared to destroy my altar? You will pay the price for this!”
Han Xiao and the others watched the Demonic Spirit King’s performance emotionlessly.
“Humph, it is too late to regret. I will eat all your souls and transform all of you into a part of me. All of you shall fall into the depths of… argh!”
Before the Demonic Spirit King could even finish his act, Feidin snorted and shot out his Psychic energy. Like an inflated balloon being punctured, the Demonic Spirit King let out a miserable groan and disappeared.
The black whirlpool floating in midair had disappeared and the shaking of the cave had also become silent. It was as though nothing had happened at all.
“Hey, you didn’t end up killing it, right?” Han Xiao became worried. Would the mission be stopped midway if the Demonic Spirit King died?
“I could have killed it, but it wasn’t necessary.” Feidin rolled his eyes.
You are the one who knows me best.” Han Xiao laughed and slapped Feidin on the back.
Following which, Han Xiao then waved at Tomar, who was rooted to the spot in shock.
“The altar is destroyed. Let’s return.”
Tomar had spent a great amount of effort to shut his opened mouth before jumping back to look at Han Xiao with caution.
“Who exactly are all of you?”
Han Xiao frowned and said, “I said before. We are wizards.”
Tomar had a look of disbelief on his face.
Don’t think you can bluff me because I am uneducated. You lot are definitely not wizards.
Because wizards cannot be so powerful!
He then praised his own wisdom silently.
“Alright then, since we have been discovered, I shall tell you the truth…”
Han Xiao’s eyes spun around, and a teasing look could be seen in his eyes.
“We are actually deities.”
Hila, Aurora, and Feidin almost choked.
Woah, you’re truly shameless!
Tomar had a look of disbelief upon hearing that.
There are actually deities in the world? Could those religions be real? I thought that it was only a scam.
However, it seems like only deities would be able to kill a few hundred demonic spirits in a second.
Tomar could not think of any other explanation. In the face of a ‘deity’, he was completely helpless and did not know what to say.
Han Xiao giggled in his heart while pretending to be solemn on the surface. “I have come for Vosumede. His actions have gone against the laws of nature, and he will be punished.”
Planet Nalun was a backward planet, and it was extremely easy to fool them. It was not the first time that he had tried to act as a deity. He had tried once in front of the Black Spirit Race before. When facing the natives of a backward planet, saying that he was a deity might be more convincing than saying that he was from the universe.
Tomar’s eyes lit up upon hearing those words, and an agitated look could be seen on his face.
Upon seeing that, Han Xiao placed his finger on his lips and said with a smile, “But I hope that you can help keep this secret. It is best that only you know the truth that I am a deity.”
It will be time to kidnap you when the mission is complete.
“Okay, okay.” Tomar nodded like an obedient child.
He originally wanted to inform everyone at the gathering point about the truth, but since the ‘deity’ had personally requested for him to keep silent about it, he must have his reasons. Thus, he decided to hide this truth in his heart.
Upon thinking about the fact that he was the only one who knew that the four individuals before him were deities, Tomar felt extremely agitated.
