Chapter 8: Return to Atlantis Section 7

Previous Chapter

The red light seemed to be absorbed by the bulge, and the hoarse female voice finally weakened to silence with the dimming of the light.

Holding the hilt of her sword in one hand, Evelyn stretched out her other arm to play in the air in an attempt to disperse the gas in front of her, but the layers of lingering mist could not be lifted for a long time, but for some reason, she was extremely firm about the identity of the source of the sound.

After several failed attempts, Evelyn had to find a new place to stay, staying at such a height and unable to go any further. The stone steps had come to an abrupt end at some point under a fairly wide platform, a structure that seemed to have the intention of cultivating some kind of dangerous creature.

Thinking about it, Evelyn tried to use the ice elemental magic to create a platform that was close to the place, but she stretched out her hand, and the faint ice mist boiled in the blood mist until it was reduced to nothing. Evelyn's brow furrowed, and repeated attempts failed without exception. Now she can't drive the more powerful ice elemental magic, and the blood magic is more aggressive, which doesn't seem to come in handy at the moment.

"Wait...... If you can't avoid it, then ......" Evelyn suddenly realized that since she couldn't make something, it was better to destroy it.

However, under the impact of blood magic, it will inevitably make a loud noise, which is very likely to attract enemies. But...... It's better than rushing forward!

Evelyn no longer hesitated, and among the few options, the use of violence became the best option at this moment. In a flash, the red light replaced the pale blue light that had originally shone, and the starry sword shone brightly, forcing the mist to retreat as if it were far away. As she increased her spiritual power output again, the visible red shield of light suddenly opened, pushing the mist until it hit the wall and dissipated.

At the bottom, not far away, the middle part of the interlaced pattern tracks was full of flesh-like unknown substance, which was now rising and falling slightly in a regular manner, like a living creature with a heartbeat. As for the middle of the bulge, the dying face was none other than Amilia!

Less than half of her body was exposed, the rest of her body and half of her arms were wrapped in an unknown substance, and countless slender vessel-like things crimsoned and crawled all over the parts that came into contact with her body, and on closer inspection, it was clear that they had invaded her flesh to varying degrees.

If Emilia really can't bear to look at it now, it also makes Evelyn's heart cut - the High Elves care so much about their bodies that they are bound to die and suffer. It's just that Emilia is clearly unconscious, and the scream just now is just an instinctive reaction to her body from the pain.

Evelyn poured spiritual power into her left hand, and in a few moments it formed a blood-colored ball of energy. She aimed at a place near Emilia and shot out the energy ball in her hand, the ball paused for a moment after touching the unidentified matter on the ground, and then suddenly dispersed and merged into it, and then, an ominous light shone under the unknown matter, and the surface swelled more and more.

Boom!

The unknown substance was apparently not strong enough to resist the power of blood magic, and it shattered under Evelyn's indifferent gaze, and even scorched smoke from the burning fire, and the rocky floor was finally exposed.

Evelyn drew her sword with the help of the wall, and landed precisely in the clearing she had just created, and in front of her, her devastated body was within reach.

The ground still had a residual temperature, and it wasn't just because the objects were still on the offensive of blood magic not long ago. Not only the ground, but the temperature in the entire space was obviously much higher than that of Atlantis City, and it was not until she got close enough that Evelyn could clearly see the true face of the thing—layered on top of each other like muscle textures, and blood-like liquid was gurgling out of the "wound" damaged by blood magic, and thick pus was coming out of one of the stalks.

"Amy?" Evelyn said tentatively.

Emilia's head hung limply, her hair and body covered in slime. Her cheeks were sunken into her cheeks due to sales, and her eye sockets were so deep that they would have almost slipped off if there were no eyelids. Her skin was covered in fine threads, from the bulge of an unidentified object through her body to her neck.

The dying female elf didn't react.

Evelyn stepped forward, and Emilia's body seemed to have merged with the things around her, and it would not have been possible to tell that they were two very different individuals if it weren't for the difference in skin color.

Goo!

The substance that enveloped Emilia shrank abruptly, and the female elf's body trembled.

Knock knock, knock knock......

With a heartbeat-like sound, an unidentified liquid fell from directly above the space, one drop, two drops...... This was followed by a disgusting roar.

Evelyn looked up, and the red light spread upwards, eventually dissipating into nothingness in the hollow blackness.

It is the existence of living beings.

Evelyn wasn't nervous, she was ready to meet the enemy the moment she attacked. It's just that when those "enemies" really appeared in front of her, she couldn't help but feel surprised—ugly features, a torso covered with slime, and an undisguised body...... She'd seen these things—the monsters that destroyed the village on the way to Atlantis. They were called "orcs," she remembered.

"I really didn't expect it to have infiltrated the interior of Atlantis City...... Evelyn turned to face the orcs who had fallen from the sky, the blade of her sword glowing red.

"Roar!"

Several orcs surrounded Evelyn, their jaws opening open and letting out an instinctive roar.

Evelyn was puzzled by the presence of these orcs, and had not seen a single guard since she entered the prison, and it was these bloodthirsty monsters that appeared first. What's more, the orcs were still immature, and through the only light they could barely see the viscous fluid that was dripping from their bodies—it was clearly exactly the same as the one on the wall, similar to the nutrient solution in the eggs!

"Could it be that it was born here?"

A very scary thought crept through Evelyn's mind, and before she could think deeply, the orcs had already swarmed up.

Their attacks were haphazard, and Evelyn easily avoided them and ended them dead. It didn't take long for the red sword light to cut through several arcs, and the orc's heavy breathing came to an end.

Several large bodies fell to the ground in all directions, and Evelyn leaned over to take a closer look. Sure enough, their skin is still soft, like a baby born in the heart. She vividly remembered that the orcs she had met in that unfortunate village were clearly thick-skinned and thick-skinned.

The almost negligible attack from this group of orcs did not reassure Evelyn, and the foreboding grew stronger. Yes, these orcs are newborns, they have no mind, no fighting skills, all they have is a desire to attack biological instincts.

But if it's a newborn, then these creatures are obviously terrifying—they are inherently strong and agile. The adults of Lonellan were defenseless against them, and the green-skinned orc they had encountered earlier was no match for even Evelyn or Terami.

This kind of fighting talent that is no less than that of the warriors of the Di Clan cannot be ignored at all, and you must know that the only ones who can compete with the Di Clan in terms of strength are those dwarves.

"Could it be ......" Evelyn refocused her gaze on Emilia behind her, and couldn't help but think to herself: judging by the current situation, if this space is compared to a large egg room, and the orcs are regarded as the "products" of this egg room, as for the source of raw materials......

Evelyn didn't dare to think about it any further, this judgment was entirely possible. As for how to confirm it, it now seems that there is only one way - Emilia.
