135. The Entrance to the Ruins
The ruins were discovered in the desert north of the central plains.
The terrain here was flat, and it had once been a gathering place for humans who lived by hunting. But due to the war, most people had either been demonified into half-dead demons or had fled to the theocratic nation for safety.
Now, the northern plains were a barren wasteland.
And the Goddess’s ruins seemed to have deliberately chosen a place that was neither too far nor too close to appear. When Calysia learned of this from the Pope, she, in her capacity as the President of the God Slaying Society, mobilized the forces of the Four Realms Allied Forces, and in just three days, she had completely surrounded the location of the Goddess’s ruins.
For a time, besides the area around the Anti-Ritual Tower, the military forces were basically all deployed to the Goddess’s ruins. And according to Reina’s investigation, the Shadow of God would most likely not let go of this piece of meat that was right at their doorstep.
The Goddess’s power, if the Shadow of God had any brains, they should have arrived before them.
However…
Whether it was the treasures in the ruins or the power of the Goddess of Light, it was currently all just the Pope’s one-sided story…
To avoid being led by the nose by some invisible force, Reina chose to be more conservative. So, this time she only sent out thirty percent of the Four Realms Allied Forces… to prevent the Shadow of God from catching them by surprise.
And,
Rather than ruins, she couldn’t even see the appearance of the ruins right now.
“It wasn’t like this a long time ago… It was in a mountain. We had to transport these treasures through a narrow passage, so… many of my brothers died. And now, it seems even more dangerous than before!”
Kribi squeezed out of the neat ranks of the army and came to Reina’s left, who was also standing on the edge of the abyss, looking down at the bottomless darkness with his head lowered and cautious eyes.
Here was a circular deep pit.
As if it had been directly erased by something, it revealed a smooth and flat cross-section, directly connecting to the Goddess’s ruins underground.
Although one could clearly see the statues and golden treasures on the smooth, circular walls, this circular deep pit still exuded a gloomy and terrifying dark aura. Looking down from the edge, it was as if one would be forever trapped in it… Just by looking, the radius of this deep pit was five thousand meters long, which was chilling.
“Did you really take all the treasures?” Reina asked.
“Ah, I’m sure. We took everything we could. There are still a few important ones with my brother,” Kribi said with a hehe smile. “So, that’s why we were able to stand undefeated and almost wiped out the blood race.”
Reina continued to observe the deep pit, trying to see something important in it. Her current clone was in her dragon form, her tail swaying gracefully, her wings half-open, maintaining her usual domineering and dignified presence. Her pupils now had two hours of vision every day, but before they were fully recovered, she still had to try to hide the cross at the bottom of her eyes… to prevent the demons from suspecting that she was the Goddess of Light.
After all, in the eyes of the demons, the Goddess of Light was the culprit who had banished them to the Four Realms. Among them, the elves in particular had a “blood feud” with the Goddess of Light, especially the elven royal family.
Fortunately, Calysia’s decisive attitude had made her kill all the stubborn factions in the dragon race, which was why there was no chaos within the dragon race.
“Kribi, I have a question…” Reina said, looking at the deep pit without turning her head. “Are you and your brother half-brothers from the same mother?”
“Hehe…”
Kribi scratched his head at this topic: “That’s true. My brother is the son of the previous Beast King… my father and a damned human. That guy was full of energy and liked the frail bodies of humans.”
He said helplessly, “And then, my brother became that guy’s illegitimate son. Therefore, Kritz actually has no right to inherit the throne.”
“The one who was supposed to inherit the throne was you, a pure-blooded orc?”
Kribi nodded: “That’s right. So, I broke with my brother before. I couldn’t stand his style of doing things. In his hands, the orcs were a mess.”
“Then why are you standing with Kritz again? I don’t mean to sow discord.”
The dragon behind Reina, Liya, asked.
She was wearing a female warrior’s outfit. Under the two gorgeous capes like a skirt on her shoulders, the gold-inlaid armor at her waist was like an apron, revealing her thighs in black stockings, and she also wore a pair of dark long boots.
It seemed that after her level increased, her appearance and temperament were no longer the same. Reina estimated that the current Liya was about level 113, and her progress was faster than she had imagined… Because, theoretically, the higher the level, the slower the improvement. For a normal demon, even becoming a high-ranking demon was an extremely difficult thing, let alone cultivating above level 100.
“…Big Sis, can I not talk about this?”
Kribi shook his head, took out a small box from his clothes, opened it and looked at it, then showed it to Reina for a moment… but she could only see that it was a gray image photo.
The two brothers had different styles of doing things. Although both were about plundering, Kribi’s style was more conservative, and he wasn’t the type to just wipe out the blood race… And the Beast King was a crazy existence who pursued battle and conquest.
He shook his head and returned to the orc army, as if preparing for something.
“Sister Reina, you’re gentle today.”
Suddenly, White Miry walked up and sized up Reina, as if she hadn’t seen Kribi, who had been waiting here for a long time.
She was wearing a [White Scale Void Moon] outfit today—a grayish-white dress full of white lace, with small boots hand-sewn by Liya… a white belt and a magic bracelet, highlighting her petite yet feminine figure.
“Where…” Reina was a little embarrassed.
Then she remembered an important thing, so she lowered her head and looked at the bottomless abyss, and began to feel anxious.
Why isn’t that dummy up yet?
She said she was going down to check the situation…
And then she let go of my hand, and she hasn’t come up for a full five minutes!
Do you know how hard it was for me to wait these five minutes?
…Do you know how worried I am?
In an instant, just as Reina was about to open the All-Seeing Eye, a figure flew out of the deep pit beside Reina, shot into the sky, and then landed gracefully.
Calysia’s skirt wasn’t lifted by the strong wind, but danced gracefully under the support of gravity, like a flower swaying in the wind, hiding her graceful figure under a black veil.
The cuffs of her slender arms also had beautiful lace; and her fair, delicate skin formed a beautiful color contrast, making one’s imagination run wild; but her eyes that looked down on everyone gave her a god-like aura, as if she were an invincible king…
Reina thought she had just experienced a battle.
The moment that figure landed, Reina flew in front of her, held her hand, and nuzzled against her shoulder.
“Master.”
