Chapter 325: Entering
325 Entering
"Senior Sister, why are we leaving like this?"
"That"s right. There were only three of them, even if two people were stronger than us, we could catch the weakest."
"You all do not know anything." Letizia shook her head helplessly. It was very obvious they were questioning her decision. Fabio was a 4-Star Martial Lord while Anna was a 5-Star Martial Lord.
They could have two or three of them to hold Fabio for a while and half of them to hold Anna. That way, they can catch Alex, who was only a peak Martial Grandmaster.
But there was another concerning matter, they realized the person that she was searching for was only a peak Martial Grandmaster.
"But Senior Sister, why are you so obsessed with him?"
"That"s right. He does not even appreciate you."
"There are many people far better than him in Mount Hua Sect, and they are Alchemist or Forging Master."
"You do not even love him."
"Like I said, you all never saw that. What is love? If the Rainbow Flower sect is destroyed in the future or I die because I am powerless, love is just worthless. I am just sacrificing myself for the future of Rainbow Flower Sect. This is certainly not my pleasure, but this is absolutely my duty." Letizia said while glaring at them.
Her speech immediately shut them up. They never thought the reason why Letizia wanted to marry that person was for this. But they still could not understand why she thought that Peak Martial Grandmaster very highly.
"You must think I am crazy. But why do not all of you wonder why he comes to this place, and why his ident.i.ty is so hidden?
"From our information, the Southern Kingdom had put a bounty on his head. But not long after that, they suddenly took off that bounty. And with the bad blood that even made the Southern Kingdom had to put a bounty on him, why would he come here?
"This place is very close to the Southern Kingdom. The Heavenly Sword Sect must have hidden him for so long. And the reason why the Southern Kingdom took off the bounty of his head must be because he is very valuable. And most likely, he is the hidden weapon, Heavenly Sword Sect.
"I have seen his power and talent, and I am sure that he will reach far higher than the current sect master. When that time comes, are you sure our sect could still live?"
"…" They could not say anything. Her speech made them speechless. This entire time, they were clueless as to what happened. They never knew what kind of burden Alicia was shouldering. Unfortunately, if Letizia could say that Alex got the inheritance of the Martial Emperor, it would be far easier to shut them up.
The reason why Alex came to this place even though the Southern Kingdom had put his head a bounty two months ago… Alex must be confident that the Southern Kingdom did not dare to kill him. He was not afraid of them.
They had some doubts about it too. Heavenly Sword Sect would not let him go to this dangerous place without protection. And they thought those two people beside him were not enough. So, Alex must have another few people around this area.
When they realized that, they sucked a cold breath. They were too ashamed because they never thought about that. Because of Letizia"s explanation, they could realize that.
If they truly clashed with them, their group would be annihilated.
…
Alex did not care what they thought. Or at least, he had sent Njomo with them, to see if they would do something funny. He just hoped they did not do something funny or come back and enter this place.
Leoz and the others had been preparing themselves to enter. And it seemed there was no sign of undead other than the two Alex met before.
"Are you ready?"
"Yeah. We are ready." Leoz and the others nodded.
"I hope Anya will reach the Martial Lord Stage in this place," Alex said as he took the token out of his ring.
"Maybe if you kiss me, I will be more motivated," Anya said cheekily.
"Well, let"s enter!"
"Ignored again." Anya pouted.
Alex then activated his token in the barrier and opened the barrier a little bit. As soon as he opened the barrier, the undead immediately felt his presence and attacked him.
Of course, the two who moved first would be Leoz and Anna. Both of them immediately chopped the two undead"s heads.
The others also started walking inside the barrier. Alex then closed the barrier again.
When they came inside, they were surprised as the inside was very different. In fact, they were on the foot of a mountain. Although vague as it may, Alex could see an altar at the top of the mountain.
Alex activated his Spirit Eyes and saw a huge amount of dark elements were produced from that altar. Although it was a dark element, it was not like a black colored energy, it was the same as air. No one would see any dark color inside this place except Alex who activated his Spirit Eyes.
"See the altar on the top of the mountain?" Alex asked his spirits while pointing at the altar.
They could vaguely see it too, so they nodded.
"That is our target. I could see the dark energy was coming from that place."
"Well, we need to start sweeping this place first. After all, I could sense many Martial Lords around this place." Anna said.
"Yeah. My instinct has been tingling this entire time." Leoz nodded.
"This place is s.p.a.cious, so we need to stick together for the time being," Alex said as he checked their surroundings with his Spirit Eyes.
"You can see that hill over there?" Anya pointed her hand into the nearby hill. It was only around three hundred meter hills. It was nothing in front of the one thousand meter mountain in front of them. But Anya chose that position because it was a good place for them to observe their surroundings.
They could fly to observe their surroundings, but if they were engaged with battles, it would be hard to observe while battling in the air. The reason was simple, it was hard for them to make a good maneuver in the air.
So it would be better to observe the situation on a cliff nearby. Of course, Alex knew about it as well.
They did not have any problem with Anya"s plan, so they immediately flew toward the cliff. As soon as they arrived, Anya and Alex with his Spirit Eyes, immediately covered the entire area.
Alex could see many energy signs around them. It was like around a hundred Martial Lords around them. Although they were only around 1-Star to 4-Star Martial Lord. Unlike Fabio, Anna, and Leoz, the others were still around their level.
"Anna and Leoz would be the vanguard. Greg will protect Alex in here while Alex provided us with the support. The support is your Spear Throwing Art. Fabio and Vera will provide Anna and Leoz cover. As for Jeanne, I want you to move around to kill any single undead across the area.
"I want you to prioritize the undead that were going to join the battle. I want you to a.s.sa.s.sinate all of them. Sherry and Kyle will bombard them with fire." Anya immediately explained their strategy.
Alex was startled. Despite her characters, Anya could come up with a strategy so fast.
He wanted to join the battlefield, but considering their enemies were Martial Lords, he might not help much. Alex also understood that. He decided to support them from here instead of joining them.
"Let me support you first," Anya said.
"Ding Ding!" She tapped the ground with her staff two times. Her staff started glowing with a pure and warm light.
Alex"s Spirit Eyes was still active, and he could see there were streams of light that were connected from Anya to them. Alex could feel a warm feeling inside her heart, and he felt his strength increased around ten to twenty percent.
"I will support all of you from here. But as you know, I would not be able to join the fight. So, I leave it to you." Anya said with a smile.
"Gahaha… With these many of us powered up, it is even greater than you join us in the battle." Leoz brutally said.
Anya ignored Leoz"s comment and looked at Alex. "Alex, there are three ideal spots to start the battle. You can choose one of them."
Of course, Alex knew the three spots in her mouth. Each spot contained around ten undead with twenty in their surroundings.
"Sherry, Kyle, come out."
"Yes (Chirp)." Kyle had become a Martial Lord Stage beast, but unfortunately, he could not speak yet. But Alex could understand his chirping after he evolved. At least, there were improvements.
"I will throw my spears. I want you two to target whichever undead that did not die from my spear."
Sherry and Kyle nodded.
Alex then moved toward the direction he wanted to start. His spirits already took out their respective weapon. Alex took out his spears.
"Immovable Step." Alex did not hold back in fighting these undead. After all, all of them were Martial Lords. He did not dare to look down on them.
"Spear Throwing Art. Spin Throwing."
Alex threw both of his spears in succession,
"Boom Boom!"
Of course, as soon as it reached the ground, it made a loud sound and attracted other undead nearby. Fortunately, both spears managed to kill one undead each as Alex targeted their head.
"Roar Roar!"
"Roar Roar Roar!"
But Alex and Anya made one miscalculation. They miscalculated the roar of the undead. When one undead roared, and it was heard by the other undead, and they roared again and noticed by the other again. It continued until the roars echoed through the whole realm.
The undead started charging toward them. And luckily, it seemed the undead could not fly, or they did not have enough intelligence to do that. Since they were pretty close with the realm barrier, they were not surrounded from four directions. Unfortunately, they were still surrounded from three directions: Front, Left, and Right.
But it was enough for Alex to come up with the plan.
Although Alex and Anya were astonished, they did not panic. Without waiting for Anya, Alex immediately said, "We are switching the plan. Leoz group will do according to the original plan. But I want Jeanne to move back and protect this cliff as well as Anna.
"Greg. Can you make a huge barrier that can hold the undead for a few seconds?"
"Two Seconds," Greg said.
"Good enough." Alex nodded. Alex then continued, "Greg, I want you to make a barrier that can hold the undead on our right for two seconds. Sherry and Kyle will summon our Phoenix and hit them."
Even in this chaotic situation, Alex was still thinking about killing the undead.
"What about me?" Anna asked as she was confused as she did not understand why Alex wanted her back to this cliff.
"Leoz group will hold the undead on our left. As for Anna, I want you to stop them for a few seconds. It seems they are not too intelligent. You can use the Dark Curtain to confuse them first." Alex said.
"We are going to teleport from this place with Alex"s array then," Anya added.
Alex nodded. It was his plan. Anya had realized his plan just from hearing he wanted Anna and Jeanne to pull back."
"Jeanne will kill any undead that manages to get close to us. As soon as you heard the explosions from our phoenixes, all of you will come back to this cliff and we will escape together. We have no time, now go!" Alex said.
All of them nodded their heads and disappeared. They both took their positions as Greg also came to the front.
