Chapter 446 A terrifying murderous
A few days ago, Ares, the leader of the Pantheon Guild, had taken the Serenity Elixir concocted by Alice and was now at a critical juncture.
Ares, whose energy flow was barely contained by Astraeus using a sealing technique, sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. Mysterious blue runes flickered on his skin. Of the 108 seals within him, 100 had been released. Only eight more, and the process would be complete. But suddenly, the ground started shaking violently.
Astraeus, with furrowed brows, knew that any problem at this moment could have dire consequences. It might become impossible to save Ares, who could go mad or even die.
Astraeus hastily instructed the Guild elites outside the secret chamber, “Go and investigate immediately, find out what’s happening!”
He couldn’t afford to be distracted,otherwise, a quick sweep with his consciousness might have given him an idea of what was happening.
Other members of the Pantheon Guild received orders and began inspecting the surroundings of the Guild.
William, though powerful enough to build an underground city with a mere thought, was methodically constructing it step by step. The design of the underground city flashed through his mind, and the ores from the mine kept being absorbed into his spatial storage ring.
The tremors in the mountain were not very severe, yet William noticed that around the mine, hundreds of people were flying in the air.
Deciding to avoid unnecessary trouble, William chose to turn invisible.
One of the Pantheon Guild’s elites, standing right in front of William, had discovered the huge cave and was witnessing a bizarre scene: sand and stones flying out of the cave, then vanishing into thin air.
“What is this?” the elite wondered, unable to see William but curious about the strange phenomenon. He slowly approached the cave but was repelled by an odd force.
“We’ve found something unusual here.”
More and more people were gathering around William, but none could come within 6 feet of him.
These guys really, it’s just for some stones, why are they all crowding around?
The commotion isn’t even that big!
William glanced at the people around him, suspecting that almost the entire Pantheon Guild must be here.
“Elder Nightwind, we can’t get in!”
“What exactly is happening? Why are stones suddenly flying out and then disappearing?”
“If this continues, won’t the mountain collapse?”
“The Guild Leader is currently in a critical stage of treatment in the secret chamber. If the mountain collapses, it could spell disaster! We must find out what’s happening.”
A man in a white robe approached the cave’s entrance. He was Cedric Nightwind, an Elder of the Pantheon Guild and one of the few Quasi-Deity level fighters in the Guild.
Cedric slowly extended his hand towards the direction of William, his palm enveloped in formidable power.
An invisible barrier?
His hand should be able to tear through anything in this world!
William frowned slightly upon hearing about the Pantheon Guild Leader’s treatment. He had heard from Astraeus about the Guild Leader entering a frenzied state, hence the exchange of the Olympian Star-Patterned Alchemical Furnace for Alice’s Serenity Elixir.
It had been several days since the exchange, and the Leader was still receiving treatment.
Realizing his mining activity might be causing trouble on the mountain, William felt a bit concerned.
Cedric’s palm, about six feet away from William, was again blocked by the invisible barrier.
“Hmm?” Cedric’s frown deepened. He began to frantically absorb the energy around him, his palm emitting a blinding white light. The surrounding Pantheon Guild members were overwhelmed by the terrifying aura and had to retreat several miles away.
As a Quasi-Deity level fighter, Cedric’s full-force palm strike could level the mountain in front of him.
Yet, he found himself unable to move his hand forward any further.
Ores continued to fly out from within the mountain and vanish into thin air.
Despite his efforts, Cedric was powerless to break through this unseen barrier.
William really didn’t understand what the guy in front of him was trying to prove. He had already shown enough consideration.
If this had been tens of thousands of years ago, he would have simply claimed any mountain he liked, regardless of whether there was a Guild on it or not.
Now, he was mining so meticulously just to prevent the mountain from collapsing.
Cedric was unleashing such an overwhelmingly powerful force. If William suddenly removed the barrier, wouldn’t the mountain just explode?
William checked the ores he had collected, enough to make an alchemical furnace. With the underground city also completed, he stopped his work. Then, facing Cedric’s palm, he lightly tapped it with his finger…
Cedric’s face changed dramatically. He couldn’t see William, but the power in his palm dissipated instantly, and he felt something poke him, causing the invisible barrier to vanish. Due to the huge inertia, Cedric stumbled forward.
“Who’s there?” Cedric was no fool. Though he couldn’t see William, his instincts told him someone had definitely been there.
Members of the Pantheon Guild, seeing their Elder break through the invisible barrier, flew over to Cedric’s side.
“Elder Nightwind is remarkable, resolving the issue in an instant.”
“Of course, our Elder Nightwind is a Quasi-Deity level powerhouse.”
“Just an invisible barrier, what’s that to him?”
…
The members of the Pantheon Guild had no idea what the invisible barrier was all about. Seeing him break through, they praised Cedric without really understanding the situation.
Cedric blushed, knowing too well it wasn’t him who had broken the barrier. There had definitely been someone there just a moment ago. Not only had he failed to breach the barrier, but he also couldn’t even identify who was behind it, and his power had been completely dispersed with a single touch.
Who in the world could be so formidable? π¦π.πΈβ΄
Entering the cave, they were astounded by what they saw.
The Pantheon Guild had chosen this mountain range as their new base and was familiar with the entire mountain. The sudden appearance of the cave was surprising enough, but the existence of a huge underground city inside was utterly shocking. How could anyone not be amazed?
The continuous ejection of stones and gravel earlier had been mistaken for a natural phenomenon, but now it was clear: it must have been man-made!
So, the invisible barrier they encountered earlier was also artificial?
This meant that someone had constructed an underground city right under the Pantheon Guild’s nose in just one night, and they were completely unaware.
It was a frightening thought!
Regardless of what others might think, William had already appeared in the secret chamber where Ares was receiving treatment.
Ares, likely affected by the ground’s vibrations, had rapidly unlocked the remaining eight seals using the effects of the Serenity Elixir.
Astraeus initially thought Ares had fully recovered and let out a sigh of relief, only to find himself enveloped in a terrifying murderous intent…
