Chapter 181: She disappeared Part5
Inside the vast labyrinth, several groups of cultivators, including elves, dwarves, orcs, and fairies were fighting the hordes of undead beasts with vigor and ferocity.
Time slowly ticked away but it only felt as if everyone was walking around in circles.
The horde of incoming beasts was never ending and they were not progressing in any aspect.
Except for the negligible soul strength that they managed to gain with every undead beast kill, they had gained absolutely nothing else.
While things continued to carry on in this manner… eventless, dull and boring… suddenly, a terrifying and powerful roar shocked the entire mountain range.
Tremors continued rolling even minutes after the deafening sound ceased to exist.
Instantly, everyone in the labyrinth, every single expert who had entered these caves, turned around and looked towards the direction from which the sound was coming.
Someone had finally managed to trigger something important!!!
They had possibly managed to solve this labyrinth and locate the treasure even!!!
Everyone’s heart tightened. They lamented at their own bad luck and immediately hastened towards the source of that roar.
And of course, Xander as well, who was slaughtering through the undead mess in the opposite corner of the labyrinth, heard the roar and hurried over.
With his profound cultivation base, he was easily one of the fastest to respond and located the underground cave opening in an instant.
He quickly arrived at one of the small tunnels near the ceiling of the underground cave opening and his crimson orbs gazed below at the chasm.
An enormous Epic-grade beast was kicking up a storm below him!
How could an Epic-grade beast even exist here?
His heart rate quickened. It had been a while since he had fought someone who was his equal, let alone an entire realm above him.
Xander pensively looked at the glow-worm which was confined to the azure lake of the cave.
“Is there a spell formation here as well?” He pondered.
But then, the next instant his gaze wandered and fell on the two other figures also present in the underground cave opening.
“What the heck? How is she here?” His elegant sword-like sharp eyes flew wide in surprise.
This snake’s trouble attracting capabilities were even more powerful than his own! He smiled bitterly.
Noticing that Tang Yue was in dire danger, Xander immediately descended from the top.
His silver-maned figure plunged from the height, and unexpectedly, another figure simultaneously descended as well.
More importantly, this intruder was also in the Demi-God realm just like Xander.
As the two figures floated downward, each gazing at the other with myriad emotions in their eyes, the beast underneath let out another loud deafening roar.
Xander saw that he had absolutely no time to waste. He acted fast.
He used his main body to engage both the black hooded figure and the gigantic glow worm, while his clone slipped away inconspicuously.
It would only take him a minute to send both Tang Yue and Charlotte to safety.
His clone could then comfortably return back to him and he would be able to face the two opponents in front of him with his full strength.
Xander quickly flicked his sword and sent out a powerful energy wave, grabbing the attention of the glowing monstrosity and the black hooded figure at the same time.
The worm shook its head and its upper body vigorously as it swayed away from the rubble and prepared to attack Xander.
Meanwhile, his dark elemental clone slid beneath the surface and reached Tang Yue.
Everything was going smoothly according to his plan. He just needed a few more seconds.
But suddenly things took an unexpected turn…
The worm that was about to divert its attention from the two injured women, dived back down towards them and unexpectedly swallowed the snake in one big gulp.
Everything happened so quickly that no one could even intervene.
Charlotte froze. The woman who was sitting beside her was nowhere to be seen. Her brain couldn’t process what just happened.
Xander’s smile froze as well. She is… gone?
His mind shuddered. His clone scattered.
The crimson hue in his eyes darkened and a violent and bloodthirsty aura blasted out of his body.
He clutched his sword and stared at the Epic-grade beast with his killing intent wildly raging.
Xander knew that he had to think about the bigger picture now. He knew that casualties were normal during an event like this.
And she wasn’t even anyone significant enough for him to raise his hand, but still…
He stood rooted. He was unable to move from that spot.
Unbridled fury erupted within him and he wanted to tear down the beast that had killed her and had taken her away from him forever.
On the other side, the black-hooded figure calmly gazed at the scene in front of him, and a subtle smirk appeared on his face.
Under the camouflage of his clothes, the man’s lean and muscular body twitched with excitement.
This was the same human figure who had assassinated the dwarven ambassadors back at the elven royal palace in Eldoria.
“Heh. I thought I might really have to fight it out with the elf, but it looks like these two will now take care of each other.”
William chuckled as he quickly performed some small hand incantations and the next instant his figure disappeared, directly heading into the deep azure waters of the lake.
Both Xander’s eyes and the worm’s fluorescent eyes drifted in his direction for a moment.
The enormous worm suddenly looked even more enraged.
A puny weakling had dared to slip through its fingers and enter the waters? The waters which it was guarding?
This was completely unacceptable!
ROAR
The beast shrieked. A tremor spread through the mountain as the worm turned its head and started to head back into the water.
It decided to first finish that intruder and come back up later to take care of the rest of these weaklings.
But before it could even move an inch…
“Where are you going?” Xander’s voice thundered.
“I did not permit you to move.”
