Chapter 2142: Ash Annihilation at Dawn (Seventy-Four)

Late at night, deep inland in the Dawn region, Gypsy territory, Lviv.

"Uh-huh...... As consciousness returned, Albert felt only a sore ache all he had. He didn't have any injuries on his body, and the aches and pains came from muscle pain.

After all, he had conjured dozens of doppelgangers in a row in the previous battles, relying on the power of the clones to fight. The damage received by the clone during the battle will be reflected on Albert's body after the clone is disarmed, and the muscle soreness caused by the clone's torn muscles after strenuous exercise is also reflected in Albert's body according to the same reason. He is now equivalent to doing hundreds of people in just a few hours, and then suffering the fatigue caused by the hundreds of people's strenuous exercise, he will feel tired.

"Woke up?" asked Albert, who was maintaining his equipment, "How do you feel?"

"Exhausting. The tiger man rubbed his sore shoulders and slowly got up from the hard stone bed. He began to miss the soft and comfortable bed in the luxurious suite of the Grand Hotel in Cairo: "How is the battle? Lviv should not fall, right?"

"Don't ask me, I've been in this room since I sent you back, and I haven't been outside. The cat-man boy replied, "Do you want to go out and see what is going on?"

"Good. But------" Albert rummaged through his bag and finally found a bottle: "Let me apply this painkiller first." I died of a headache. ＂

"You were very well prepared, did you expect it to be like this from the beginning?" the cat man boy leaned over and took a look: "I'll help you paint it." ＂

"Well, it's a very common potion for hunters, and Luffy used to collect herbs to help me apply them," Albert took off his shirt and poured a small amount of potion into the palm of his hand as he opened the bottle, rubbing it open and applying it to his shoulder. The potion emitted a scent of arrowmint and cloves, and it was quickly absorbed by the tiger's skin under the tiger's fur when it was applied to Albert's shoulder. It also has a strong anti-inflammatory and analgesic ingredient, which can promote local blood microcirculation and achieve the effect of soothing muscle pain.

Mutt also got some potion in his palm and applied it to Albert's back, where the tiger's own claws couldn't reach. He even took his hands to give a light massage to several areas of Albert's back that were obviously swollen, believing that the massage would speed up the swelling in these areas.

"It hurts the most, don't rub it too hard!" Albert cried out in tears.

"Uh, sorry. The cat-man boy stuck out his tongue.

"Anyway...... It's already like this, and you're going to go back to Cairo by nine o'clock tomorrow morning, right?" asked Mutt in a low voice, rubbing Albert's back gently.

"Of course. What time is it?"

"Two o'clock in the evening. The young man replied, "If it takes two or three hours to return by iron horse, we must not set out later than six o'clock in the morning." ＂

"That's still early. Albert apparently didn't pay much attention to this: "Don't worry, President Nitro should be awake by six o'clock this morning." We were safe when he woke up------ it should be said that the whole of Lviv was safe. As long as the president is awake, the effect of [Summer of Love] will flow backwards, and the various demonic beasts that originally rushed to attack Lviv from the entire Dawn Region will become in a trance because of the reversal of [Summer of Love] and will not continue to attack. The time that President Nitro is awake is the time when we can breathe a sigh of relief and rest. It was just right to rush back to Cairo to participate in the competition during this time. ＂

"You've done the math, haven't you?" Mutter then asked again, a little uneasily, "Rush back to Cairo to participate in the tournament while President Nitro wakes up, and then return to Lviv to continue the Great Hunting Festival after the tournament, this is the process, right?

"No problem, trust me. The tiger man replied with an oath.

Although he himself has no way to be sure. Because, every year, there will be a lot of variables, and accidents happen almost constantly, and they are not precisely controlled by human beings at all. This large-scale battle between Warcraft Hunters and Warcraft is, to put it bluntly, a confrontation with [Chaos]. Until the last minute, no one knew what the outcome would be.

The tiger man youth sighed, he could only pray that there would be no chaos in this year's Great Hunting Festival.

After casually applying a painkiller, Albert put on his shirt and gear up, and worked with Mutter to remove the stone that sealed the doorway and pushed the door out. He was really afraid that the outside had become a place controlled by the demonic beasts, so he was extra careful when pushing the door out to keep the movement to a minimum.

The iron door creaked and opened very quietly. The corridor outside was pitch black, barely visible. Only at the end of the corridor, where the passages connected to the outside, there was a purple-red light shining in------ which was the light of the [Summer of Love], and it was also a sign that the Great Hunting Festival was still continuing.

The central sanctuary seemed to be intact, and if it had been attacked and destroyed by the monsters, the light from the outside would have shot more into it, and the hallway wouldn't have been as dark as it is now. And since there is still the light of [Summer of Love] outside, of course, it also means that President Nitro, who is maintaining [Summer of Love], is still alive and has not been killed by the monsters.

Everything should be under control. Of course, that's right. Even without Albert in the war, the Warcraft Hunter Organization has no shortage of highly skilled martial artists, and it is still not a big problem for the hunters to control the scene here------ at least the scene of the first night------.

"It should be fine, let's go out. Albert said, drawing his weapon to defend himself. The blades of the Storm Spears coated with flame pine resin emitted enough light to illuminate the entire hallway, allowing them to walk in this otherwise pitch-black hallway relatively safely.

"But...... It's so quiet. The cat-man boy Mut who was following Albert muttered under his breath. Although the central temple is relatively isolated from the outside world, there is still a passage to the outside. If the battle was going on outside, the sound of fierce fighting should reach the area where Albert and the others were, and not be so quiet that nothing could be heard.

"Or maybe it's because the battle is over and the scene outside is completely under control?" Albert said optimistically.

Although he also thinks it is unlikely.

In any case, if you don't go out and see what's going on, you can't be sure what's going on. Albert and Mutter looked at each other, looked at each other for a moment, and then walked out of the hallway. If it weren't for the fact that the hallway was too dark for him to walk safely without lighting, Albert would have even tried to put away the blade of the storm gun that he was using as a light.

The darkness and silence make people feel extra nervous. The sound that echoed through the hallway, apart from the footsteps of the two, was the crackling, burning sound of the flames on the blade of the gun in Albert's hand.

However, it wasn't too far to walk from this dark corridor to the outside, probably just over thirty yards away. The two of them soon reached the corner of the hallway, from where they turned around and walked a few more steps to one of the exits of the pyramid-like building, and they could see the situation outside.

"Follow me, watch out for raids. It was at times like this that Albert was even more nervous. Maybe as soon as you turn around the corner of the corridor, a demonic beast will pounce and attack the tiger man and the cat man boy. It really has to be guarded against.

The two of them walked over tremblingly, first peeking through the corner of the wall, and then rushing outside.

"This ...... This is?!" Albert, who had just run to the exit of the pyramid, immediately snorted in surprise.

In front of them, there was a blood-red patch.

It wasn't just the purple-red glow of the [Summer of Love] on the altar at the top of the Central Sanctuary in Lviv, this blood-red was actually a much more vivid and intimidating color, and it was all over Lviv.

In front of Albert and Mutter is a city that has been "washed in blood". The fierceness of the battle was far beyond Albert's imagination. The battle between hunters and prey eventually resulted in every corner of the city's walls, every floor and ceiling, soaked in blood. The blood, wet and dried, smeared all over the city, completely changed the color of the gray-white city, which was originally made of countless stone buildings.

"It's horrible...... The cat-man boy sighed under his breath.

"It's even more excessive than in previous years...... Albert sighed under his breath.

"Oh, you're here?" saw two figures emerge from the pyramid, and a hunter came to check, this tiger man with a great sword happened to be the weapon master who had fought with Albert before, [Krliripov of Ten Thousand Blades].

"I'm sorry, the Yuqing program is gone, and the monsters that have been attacked have been cleaned up by us one by one. Krilippov said.

"Amazing...... Mutt sighed, "This year's Great Hunting Festival is over?"

"What nonsense, hahaha. As if amused by the innocent words of the cat man, the weapon master laughed heartily: "It's just that the first wave of attacks has been resolved." According to the report of the reconnaissance team, there are at least three or four waves of demonic beasts coming from farther away. However, they are far away, and it will take a day or two to reach Lviv. ＂

"Communication has been restored?" Albert asked.

"Ah, it's all restored. Krilippov turned his head to look at the tall monster as tall as a mountain in the east of the city: "The group of dragons and beasts on the back of that bastard old mountain turtle has been cleaned up, and without those guys here, the carrier pigeons that delivered the news can come over smoothly." ＂

＂...... Where's the old turtle?"

"It was badly wounded, and... It looks like it hurts its brain, right? It should take at least a day or two to recover when it looks like it's shrunk into its shell to protect it. The weapon master added: "Thanks to you, that guy can't threaten Lviv for the time being." Worry less. ＂

Albert breathed a sigh of relief.

It was at this time that the purple-red ball of light that had been floating on the top of the Central Sanctuary in Lviv suddenly changed color.
