Chapter 626

"There don't seem to be too many guards here. I thought the scene would be more...intense." Xiadie's eyes slowly swept around, and she murmured softly, her tone full of relief.

She relaxed her tense shoulders slightly, and her nerves, which had been ready for battle at any time, gradually relaxed. This meant that she no longer had to face possible fierce fighting, and no longer had to wield the weapons in her hands to fight against unknown enemies.

After all, if death comes to someone who is afraid of death, the consequences will be huge.

"Here... looks like it still needs to be decrypted?" Xing's face was full of doubts. He frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on the tightly closed door.

"What's the point of letting people who are destined to die waste their time?" Gnaeus asked coldly.

"We have no intention of dying, sir." Xiadie turned to look at Gnaeus after hearing his words, "We are here to find the truth, not to die."

"Decryption... Actually, there is no need to do that. Just open the door." Lin Yu suddenly spoke, interrupting everyone's thoughts.

"Sir Lin Yu, what should we do?" When Xiadie heard Lin Yu's words, a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes.

"Open it violently." Lin Yu answered briefly and forcefully.

"Open it violently?" Xiadie and Xing asked at the same time, surprise written all over their faces.

In Xiadie's opinion, the door of this mysterious building must have a special way to open, which cannot be easily opened by violence.

"That's right," Lin Yu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, raised his hand slowly, and began to gather strange energy around him, "I can feel the power fluctuations on this door. It seems complicated, but there are actually traces to follow. As long as I find the key node and impact it with enough force, I will be able to open it."

Gnaeus stood quietly by the side without saying anything, but he nodded slightly, as if agreeing with Lin Yu's idea.

As the energy in Lin Yu's hands continued to gather, the air around him began to tremble slightly, and an invisible pressure came over him.

Xiadie and Xing subconsciously took a few steps back, staring at Lin Yu and the closed door.

"get ready!"

Lin Yu shouted, and a dazzling beam of energy shot towards the gate like a cannonball.

In an instant, the entire space was illuminated by light, and there was a deafening roar.

When the light faded and the dust settled, everyone looked closely and saw that the door was actually shaking slowly.

"Success!"

The crowd ignored the followers who were snarling and roaring in the room, and walked straight through the door to the next room.

As they stepped over the threshold, the door behind them swayed slowly, making a dull creaking sound, and then with a bang, it closed tightly again.

"It turns out there's no need to decrypt... violence can also be considered a way to pass the level..." Xiadie muttered to herself as she looked at the tightly closed door behind her.

"Yeah, I thought it would take some effort to find the mechanism and solve the puzzle." Xing also agreed.

"This room... this is in front..."

"The Hand of Zagreus?"

Xiadie looked at the layout of the room, then said, "It looks like we need to use it to break down those roadblocks before we can get through." Xiadie pointed to the open door in the distance.

"Then I'll do it. This thing is very useful." Xing volunteered to step forward and began to control the Hand of Zagreus to attack the boulders and obstacles blocking the way.

"The destructive power is greater than expected... Has this giant hand really been used to steal?"

Every time the giant hand waved, it brought up a gust of strong airflow. Wherever it went, huge rocks exploded, obstacles were instantly shattered, and dust was raised all over the sky.

"Hmph... Zagreus, the embodiment of despicableness, its legacy has become a plaything of humans..." Gnaeus stood aside, watching all this coldly.

With Xing's manipulation, all the roadblocks were broken down and the road leading to the gate was unobstructed.

When everyone arrived at the gate, Xiadie turned to look at Gnaeus, her expression becoming unusually solemn. "Sir Gnaeus, before we move on... there is one thing we must explain to you."

"I understand you didn't come here for this stupid competition."

"How did you..."

"You have been suppressing the undercurrent in your body all this time... You can't deceive me."

"You have no interest in the false glory fabricated by the mediocre king. I have no intention of asking about your purpose. As long as it does not hinder me..."

"Roar!"

Suddenly there was a roar from a distance.

"It seems that the real challenge is coming..." Xiadie said.

"It's pointless wear and tear. They should have fallen on the battlefield. If you insist on stopping us... just take them to see Senatos." Gnaeus said.

When everyone came near the roar, they found a group of Titan followers and some people fighting fiercely.

On the battlefield, shouts and roars were intertwined, blood dyed the ground red, and broken limbs were scattered all over the ground.

At this time, those people noticed that Lin Yu and his group were approaching, so they separated a few people and attacked Lin Yu.

They held sharp blades in their hands and their eyes were filled with murderous intent.

But... in less than three seconds, Xiadie made a quick move.

Her figure flashed in the air, holding a sickle that appeared out of nowhere.

The sickle drew an arc in the air, and with a crisp sound, the heads of those people flew off, their bodies were mutilated, and blood splattered.

This is all the result of Xiadie's actions. Her movements were clean and neat, without any drag.

After dealing with the remaining people and their families, Xiadie turned the sickle around and shook off the blood on it. His movements were very handsome.

She turned around and looked at Lin Yu and the others. There was still some blood on her face. In the dim light, she looked both scary and cute.

The blood slid down her cheek and dripped onto the ground.

Then, everyone started to move forward.

Before everyone could take a few steps forward, they heard a sound coming from a distance.

"What good luck, what good luck..." a sharp voice came, with a hint of greed and excitement.

"What a weapon! What a great weapon!"

“After a little cleaning, you won’t be able to tell it’s second-hand, haha!”

"That is..." Xiadie was slightly stunned, her brows slightly frowned, and an ominous premonition surged in her heart.

"Pretend you didn't hear anything and everything is normal."

"Stop at the next corner. If it's an assassin...kill him there." Gnaeus said.

The four men held their breath at the corner, quietly waiting for the sound behind them to approach, their bodies tense and their weapons tightly grasped in their hands.

"Haha... after this trip, I don't think I'll have to pick up leftovers to fill my stomach for the next few days, right? Hehe... I really hope this festival can last a little longer."

The sound was getting closer.

"Now..." Gnaeus shouted.

Four men rushed out and pointed their weapons at the man.

The man was frightened by this sudden scene and his face turned pale, his legs went weak, and in his hand he was still tightly holding a weapon he had just picked up from the battlefield.

"It's you!" Xing said in surprise. She recognized this person. He was the weapon vendor before.

"No wonder the weapons you sell smell like blood." Xiadie said. She remembered the smell of blood she smelled on the dagger before, and the doubts in her heart were finally answered.

"Uh...that...four warriors, I can explain! Look, I..." the vendor stuttered, with a look of horror on his face.

"You despicable scavenger... Let me take you to see Senatos, thief." Gnaeus said, walking towards the merchant step by step.

"Sir Gnaeus, wait! This is not right, please... let him go." Xiadie called Gnaeus. Xiadie called Gnaeus, her voice filled with urgency and pleading.

"Look back at those broken corpses, girl. You can kill those warriors without hesitation, but you have mercy on this dirty dog ​​rat?" Gnaeus stopped and looked back at Xiadie.

"Give me an explanation...proving that you are not as stupid as that mob."

"Because... he is still afraid of death. Even though he is despicable and dirty, his crime does not deserve death and he should not become a sacrifice at the hands of Gray." Xiadie said with a hint of pity in her eyes.

"It is the most terrifying darkness in the world. If it is allowed to grow, all light will be swallowed up."

"What drives me to wield the sword is never the passion for killing, but the fear of death," Xiadie explained.

"Go away, you rat. You've saved your life today." Gnaeus said coldly. He turned his back to the merchant and didn't even look at him.

"Thank you...thank you...thank you! I...I won't appear around this city again, I promise!" After the businessman said this, he turned around and ran, disappearing into the darkness without looking back.

"Thank you for showing mercy, Lord Gnaeus."

"Don't get me wrong, this is just a reward for your courage. It doesn't mean that I agree with your theory. According to what you said, in the moment just now... you must have overcome great fear to dare to stand in front of my sword." Gnaeus said, shook his head, turned and walked forward.

Pushing open the door, everyone came to the next room.

The room was filled with a strong smell of blood and decay, which was nauseating.

"It's so tragic...whose desire is this ceremony meant to satisfy?" Xiadie fell silent as she looked at the scene filled with corpses.

"Sir Gnaeus, we have penetrated deep into the heart of Xuanfeng City... It is time to let you know our purpose. We do not expect cooperation, but we do hope to avoid conflict."

"Go ahead."

"We are here to find a way to destroy Nicadori. We have received...information that the insane Titan of Strife is building an immortal body for himself. If it is not stopped, it will pose a huge threat to future generations of Omphalos."

"Hmph, threats... our goals don't conflict, girl. If we find the Titan, we can both get what we want."

"The souls of the victims are still wandering in this hall... their meaningless sacrifices have caused them to suffer injustice, and their cries of grief are endless. Perhaps I can hear something from them..."

"Show yourself, warrior soul... I know you are not at rest yet, guide us, let us see what you have seen, hear what you have heard..."

Gnaeus watched Xiadie's movements and asked, "Can you wake the dead?"

"No... I can only summon the souls that have not yet completely died, the ones who have not yet rested... Please tell us, what did you hear?"

Xiadie opened her eyes and waited quietly, looking forward to the unknown response.

"You really don't need to dispose of it? The stench here is... already unbearable."

"No, didn't you hear? This is part of the ritual, a sacrifice to the Titans."

"Continue to meet the challengers and let them keep fighting... Only by letting the Titan of Nicadori Strife indulge in the breath of war can its madness be suppressed."

"They are creating a false war in an attempt to calm the Titan. Nicadori...it has indeed lost its will." Gnaeus said.

“Cough..cough cough…”

"What's wrong with you, girl?"

"It takes energy to extradite souls...but I'm fine, sir."

"The dead soul who has not yet rested, cough...what did you hear?" Xiadie took a deep breath, suppressed the discomfort of her body, and called out again.
