Chapter 1768: Pass
The temporary teleportation portal was set up in the Aden Square, near the Bastie Prison. All the representatives walked out of the restaurant following Michael’s lead, and quickly stepped into the teleportation portal that was guarded by the Gray Temple’s knights.
Dozens of representatives stood in the spell formation with grave expressions. There was a hint of trepidation on their faces.
The negotiation of the peace accord wasn’t smooth, and the terrifying devil was like a blow to them. It caught them all off guard.
As for Lantisde that suddenly appeared from nowhere, nobody knew what role they would play on the Norland Continent now, but their appearance had disrupted all the races’ plans.
Josh made Vanessa stand beyond the spell formation, and said to her, “Vanessa, wait for us here.”
Vanessa flicked a glance at all the representatives in the spell formation, and worriedly asked, “I don’t have to go?”
Josh nodded, and replied, “There may be unknown dangers, and I may not be able to protect you. You’d better wait for our return in the restaurant.”
“Alright.” Vanessa nodded before concernedly said to Josh, “Then you’ve got to take good care of yourself, Brother Josh. I will wait for you to return.”
“Sure.” Josh nodded with a smile before stepping into the spell formation.
All the representatives had stepped into the spell formation. After Michael nodded slightly to the formation master at the side, the latter activated the spell formation.
A faint golden light lit up the runes on the ground, and everyone disappeared on the spot, and appeared in the underground cave instantly.
“What is this?!”
After the golden light faded, a giant wall mural appeared in front of them. The terrifying scenes on the mural gave all the representatives a shock.
The huge and terrifying indescribable object in the center of the mural and all the various races that had descended into madness reminded them about the horrifying Urba Tribe’s tragedy that Rex described earlier.
Fear engulfed everyone present. That bone-chilling coldness was indescribable.
What could make elves eat their own people? What could make a pair of giant dragon father and son kill each other? What made them descend into madness?
The answer was perhaps that scary-looking indescribable thing!
Its huge body and tentacles were covered with eyeballs. Even the demons were terrified.
“Master… Are you still alright?” Connie grabbed Rex’s sleeve, a little frightened. She only discovered that Rex looked a little pale and cold sweat beaded on his forehead when she looked up.
“I’m alright.” Rex shook his head. He shifted his gaze away from the mural, and said with lingering fear, “I saw this thing’s image in the sky above the Urba Tribe then.”
All the representatives looked even gloomier. Perhaps the devil in this seal was the culprit of the Urba Tribe’s tragedy, then?
Josh looked at that mural with a worried and confused expression.
“Your Highness, we have to report this matter to the king as soon as possible,” Richard said to Josh with voice transmission. There was a tinge of fear in his voice.
Josh didn’t pay any attention to him. He only stared at that gigantic indescribable thing.
“Find a chance, release him. You will then gain an unparalleled friend. Everyone here will die, and the Norland Continent will be ours completely… We will dominate everything…” A seductive voice kept sounding in his ears.
However, he was hesitating.
After seeing that mural, his staunch conviction was still shaken.
“This… seems to be different from what we agreed upon.” Josh tried to speak as calmly as possible inwardly.
“You have to pay some price if you want to gain power and strength. They are just fellows who will be used as offerings… Death is their best ending. Meanwhile, you are our chosen one. You will become our spokesperson, and you can do as you please…
“Do you want to kill that man? As long as you release it, he could kill him easily.
“And that elf. What a cute little beauty. As long as you are willing, she will be yours.”
Josh looked up at Alex and Irina, and clenched his fists with a complex expression. He didn’t reply to that voice again.
Michael stood in front of the mural, and solemnly said to everyone, “Ladies and gentlemen, behind this mural is the seal. Although the devil is still sealed in the formation, it could still attack people beyond the formation with spiritual power. Therefore, everyone, do not get close to the seal’s spell formation after entering the cave. Do not stare at its eyes, and do not even try to enter the spell formation to attack it.”
All the representatives nodded in acknowledgement. After experiencing all that and seeing this mural, everyone had put away their contempt. They all became very vigilant, afraid that they might be attacked by the devil if they were careless.
Michael then turned around to activate the switch on the stone door.
Everyone was staring at the stone door that was slowly opening to the side nervously. A cold and eerie presence gushed out crazily from the opened door’s gap.
The magic casters took out their magic caster’s staffs, and began to chant silently.
The dwarves suddenly got shields out of nowhere, and the goblins instinctively stood behind them.
Dracula had already unleashed his wings, and he stood half a step in front of Camilla, shielding her behind him.
Richard and a knight protected Josh on both sides as they watched the stone door that was slowly opening with vigilant expressions.
The immense psychological pressure made all the representatives take out their best defensive skills. Although Michael had repeatedly emphasized that the devil was still sealed, he also told them that it could still attack them even if it was still within the seal.
“Quick. I’ve been waiting for ages!”
“Double Ace!”
“Pass.”
“Joker Bomb.”
“I am a peasant! We’re all peasants! You use the Joker Bomb to bomb me right at the start?”
“I never keep a trump card whenever I do things. Moreover, I don’t know how to farm.”
“Alright, alright… You are the big boss…”
The stone gradually opened, and what everyone saw wasn’t that indescribable thing, but Krassu, Urien, and Babla who were playing “Peasants vs Landlords” next to the bonfire.
When the stone door was fully opened, the nervous-looking representatives outside and the three people sitting on the ground and holding playing cards inside were looking at each other. The atmosphere was a little special.
Mag’s mouth twitched. He forced himself to suppress his laughter.
Babla only managed to regain her senses after a while, and said, “Pass.”
“Pass.” Krassu followed.
“Four twos.” Urien continued to toss out his cards calmly.
The scene that the representatives saw after the door opened was different from what they had imagined…
They even felt ridiculous and laughable watching Krassu and Urien sitting on the ground, and playing cards with a little girl.
Even that bone-chilling terrifying atmosphere was taken down a few notches at this moment.
“Ah!!!”
However, an ear-piercing scream still reverberated throughout the cave at the very next moment.
