Chapter 261


    Fifteen leagues out, the sea was less tumultuous, the raging waves somewhat gentler, and the


    skies above lessden with dark clouds.


    "Dive! Search down along the cliff!" Chained Spirit reminded vin.


    vin leaped from the precipice, activating his energy shield, and crashed into the churning waters,


    sinking rapidly.


    Soon after, Mari, Cedrick, E, and others arrived in quick session, plunging into the sea.


    Roald and other Cobalt Strike Protégés, along with a number of mercenaries, spread out nearby


    and jumped into the water one after another.


    Three to four hundred meters below the surface, the sea cliff extended into an undersea base,


    forming an array of ck monoliths like a range of giant mountains.


    Deep within the jagged base, the silhouette of a section of the mountain resembled a spread-


    winged ck eagle, and beneath the eagle was a ck void. Upon closer inspection, the void


    looked to be freshly copsed, surrounded by various fissures, with silent stones still tumbling


    down. Faint light and shadows flickered within the ck void.


    The Chained Spirit spoke, "This is the ce! The Kings were badly wounded and will have a brief


    period of weakness. Once they recover, they will take control of the entire ancient tomb. The cave


    will seal shut, and the tomb will move to deeper parts of the ocean floor."


    Without hesitation, vin, brandishing the Dawnedge de, barged into the ck void.


    Before long, Mari, Cedrick, and E arrived at the entrance of the cavern.


    What ce was this? Could the true kingdom''s treasure be here?


    They were stunned, not by the thought of treasure, but by vin''s audacity, which made a mockery


    of mighty warriors far and wide. If any of those warriors found out, they would not let him off lightly.


    He’s a madman, aplete and utter madman.


    "Eh? What''s that ce over there. It seems to be glowing." Many Cobalt Strike Protégés noticed


    this spot.


    "Who cares! Antis is not far ahead. Hurry, no dawdling." The Cobalt Strike Protégés rushed


    forward impatiently, with many more mercenaries behind them. If they did not get there first and


    snatch the treasure, regret would be an understatement.


    Roald lingered underwater for a while before suddenly turning and swimming toward the cavern.


    Adirich, Admus, Gwenda, and a few others followed suit.


    vin swam deeper into the cavern for hundreds of meters until a barrier appeared, blocking his


    path. The barrier resembled undting ripples of water, gently floating in the void.


    "Should we go in?"


    "We have to go inside."


    Without hesitation, vin crossed the barrier, and his whole body suddenly plummeted,nding on


    solid ground.


    This was a vast space, devoid of water and instead very dry. The ceiling of the cave sparkled with


    pinpoints of luminescence scattered in clusters and illuminating the space. The extent of the cavern


    was unknown, seemingly endless, and utterly barren. All that could be seen were stones, silent and


    still.


    vin cautiously moved forward. "Can you sense the Wings of Eternity?"


    "It''s vague, but keep moving ahead."


    "How vast is this ce?"


    "The ancient scrolls mention it vaguely, it could span a hundred leagues."


    "Where did you find these ancient scrolls?"


    "It''s supposed to be the only scroll that records the Eternal Kingdom, but the records are


    iplete."


    vin hadn''t gone far when the sounds of othersnding echoed behind him. Mari and the


    others had caught up.


    "How did you end up here? What a coincidence," vin turned back with a feigned smile.


    "What is this ce?" Mari''s whole body radiated energy to dry her clothes. She looked wary of


    the silent and mysterious space.


    "I''m not sure either. I just stumbled upon it and came to have a look," vin bluffed, but his


    attention was unexpectedly drawn to E who approached. Her allure was fiery and tantalizing,


    with a hint of dangerous seduction.


    "I told you I woulde for you. Are you not weing me?" E approached with a sultry grace.


    "This ce might be dangerous; be careful."


    "Where are you heading?"


    N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    "Just looking around." vin continued forward, and the trio followed closely.


    Suddenly, a low howl echoed from the darkness, drifting hauntingly.


    "Did you hear that?" vin frowned. Could there be a Magi-Monster guarding the depths?


    "What do you know? Tell us," Cedrick gripped his warde, also alert to the dim cavern, which


    unsettled him.
