Chapter 2550: Right on time

"We’re ready to begin at any time."

"Then go."

I didn’t waste any time in giving this order, especially after what happened with our last destination.

The relic users all had prepared looks on their faces as they faced this cave as well,

I wasn’t the only one that took what we found in that cave seriously, they also took this seriously.

After all, everyone knew just how bad it would be for the racial alliance if more and more members of the Four Omens came to be. The Four Omens could be considered the crux of the forces of Destruction’s powers.

The Apostles of Destruction were one thing, but the Four Omens were on a completely different level.

As those that had faced the Four Omens before, they knew how much of a gap there was between them and the Four Omens. They knew that when it came to power, they just couldn’t even come close to matching a single one of the Four Omens.

If it wasn’t for a certain someone that had been taking care of the Four Omens, the racial alliance would have collapsed a long time ago.

It was also most likely because of this that the forces of Destruction had withdrawn. They knew that the Four Omens were their only way of dealing with that person and they were planning on bringing out even more of the Four Omens.

This was a simple plan of using numbers to overwhelm the enemy.

So to prevent this, they had to stop as many of the new Four Omens from appearing as possible.

Before this, they had gone into this with the expectation of exterminating the enemy. But now, they felt that this might be something that they would even have to sacrifice their lives for if necessary.

After all, the pressure was on now that one of the Four Omens had been revived.

Once Joan released her flames into the cave, they didn’t even wait for me before heading in. Though the ones that did go in knew what they were capable of and didn’t bite off more than they could chew.

They didn’t rush in because they wanted to risk their lives, they went in because they knew what they were supposed to do.

So as I walked forward, I could see that there were relic users that stepped out to clear the corruption energy monsters that were there. They knew that they were only strong enough to clear out these corruption energy monsters, so they didn’t waste any time at all in clearing them out.

They wanted things to go as smoothly as possible to prevent another member of the Four Omens from appearing.

But while we headed deeper into the cave, there was one thing that I paid special attention to. I was looking at the corruption energy monsters to see how they were acting.

Of course, I wasn’t the only one that was doing this.

From the previous cave, we already figured out what it would look like if another member of the Four Omens had been revived.

So seeing that the corruption energy monsters weren’t that weak, it seemed to be a good sign. At the very least, whatever was inside hadn’t drained all of the corruption energy monsters of their power.

At the very least, it seemed like they were still full of corruption energy.

Though as we came closer and closer to the end of this cave, it wasn’t as if everything seemed fine.

Not only could we sense the aura that was coming from there, we could hear the sounds that were also coming from there. These sounds were clearly the sounds of fighting.

"At least we’re not too late. It seems like we came right on time." I said to myself with a sigh of relief. A sigh of relief that also spread to the other relic users that were with me.

If they were still fighting, it should mean that the Apostles of Destruction had spawned not that long ago. It should mean that they were still in the process of absorbing each other’s powers.

As long as they hadn’t reached the point of no return, we could still take care of them.

In a worst case scenario, I could always bring out a bit more power just to bring down the new member of the Four Omens. It was better than letting them escape and regroup with the rest of the forces of Destruction.

It was better to take care of them here and now.

When we reached the cave, we quickly saw the situation inside.

There weren’t that many Apostles of Destruction that were left and it seemed like they had been fighting for quite some time now. The ones that were left had auras that were much stronger than any of the Apostles of Destruction that I had seen before.

Since they had already progressed this far, it wasn’t as if we could allow them to get much stronger.

I didn’t even need to say anything as the relic users charged forward.

They knew the situation just as well as I did, so they all spread out and surrounded the Apostles of Destruction. They even made sure to get in the way of the Apostles of Destruction just so they wouldn’t be able to face each other anymore.

As this happened, I created swords in the air that would protect them and fight with them.

After the first time, I had to admit that our coordination was much better than before. But whether that would be enough to deal with what was in front of us was still to be seen.

If it wasn’t enough, then it really would be a problem.

At the very least, the relic users didn’t collapse from the first strike.

They were able to take the first blow while relying on the swords to cover them.

But that quickly changed as the fight progressed and there was something that came over the Apostles of Destruction.
