The lightning shield in front of Leo collapsed instantly.
Fennel had arrived!
He stood side by side with Philip and said, “Vataco has been killed. This is not a place to stay for long. Let me deal with him for a while. You should go first.”
Philip frowned, somewhat reluctant to end the fight. However, after thinking about it, he said, “Okay! Let’s meet up in the manor!”
After saying that, Philip turned around and was about to leave. He wanted to take the sacred sword with him too. However, as he was leaving the boundary of the sacred city, a layer of blue lightning barrier enveloped the entire city. At the same time, the sword in Philip’s hand hummed loudly as if some sort of restriction was preventing it from leaving the sacred city.
From afar, Leo watched this scene, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said with a laugh, “Despicable Easterners! The sacred sword belongs to the sacred city, and its mission lies here. As long as the evil creatures in the underground of the sacred city are not wiped out for good, the sword will not leave the sacred city! Don’t even dream of taking it away!”
Philip frowned, glanced at the sacred sword in his hand, and said helplessly, “I’ll bring you away next time.”
With that said, he tossed the sword in the air. The sword buzzed and flew back to the golden palace on its own. It stood in its original position and slowly lost its previous luster as well as energy pressure. The moment the sword returned to its place, countless pairs of scarlet eyes that seem to belong to wild beasts hidden in the shadows suddenly quieted down. They prostrated on the ground in the huge dark underground caverns below the sacred city.
***
In the far north, in a mountain forest hinterland, there was a huge ancient palace that looked pretty dilapidated.
Ancient Western gods with human heads and snake bodies were engraved on both sides of the palace stone doors. They had stone lamps on their chests that were burning with eerie flames at the moment. This cavernous stone door looked like the dividing line between darkness and light. There was light in front of the door and complete darkness behind the door. The darkness was endless and profound with an evil aura.
At this moment, a soul-piercing roar like that of an ancient beast resounded throughout the ancient broken palace.
