Chapter 170 The Power of God
This is destined to be a very lively night.
Many people will be unable to sleep tonight.
Without consulting any teachers beforehand, avoiding everyone along the way, and carrying the Hidden Spell they had just practiced for half a day, the group of six quietly arrived at the entrance to the underground waterway.
Even though it was his own school, Genny felt that lately they were walking around campus more furtively than the Dark Clan.
Concealing his presence, he kidnapped several Dark Soldiers, disguised himself as a member of the Dark Clan, and continued kidnapping Dark Soldiers until he found out where Maria was being held.
The good news is that they are not on the eighteenth floor, so they don't have to face the Dark Emperor directly, and it sounds like the guards aren't very strict.
The bad news is that the level of the intruder is quite high, making it difficult to sneak in undetected and rescue people.
"Why does it sound like the Dark Clan doesn't value Maria very much?" Miya Star wondered.
Even those few dark minions only knew that the eleventh floor was where a human that no one wanted to guard was imprisoned; they knew nothing else.
Genny cautiously inquired, "Isn't it better not to take it seriously?"
“No, it’s not bad.” Miya Xing hadn’t told the others about her suspicions about Situ Lang yet. “We’ll talk about the specifics when we get back. Let’s save Maria first.”
"What else is there?" Genny didn't understand, but he nodded anyway. "Oh."
He's not interested in anything that has nothing to do with saving Maria's mother right now.
Thinking of the character "司" (si), Ukunana and Eric exchanged a glance and realized they had the same idea.
Is there something wrong with Principal Situ?
There was no time to think about it in detail. Following the map in my mind, I went down layer by layer and met many people, but no one came to ask them anything.
Even the Dark Clan gets sleepy late at night, let alone after recently fighting with the Cute Warriors. The Quark Clan wouldn't go into the underground sewers to play unless they had nothing to do, so the group swaggered past without anyone noticing that a Quark Clan member who didn't belong to the Dark Clan had mixed in with them under their uniform clothing.
—As for what a group of people are doing wandering around aimlessly at night, who knows? Maybe it's just some leader having a fit of madness again.
They successfully reached the eleventh level of the underground waterway, which was much darker and damper than the previous levels. The cold air made them shiver, and the unknown darkness seemed to be able to swallow them up at any moment. The four of them walked cautiously.
Eric and Genny knocked out the two guards in the cell with almost no effort.
—They were never awake to begin with.
The cell lock melted in the flames. Eric stood at the cell door, watching for any movement around him, while Ginny quickly ran to Maria's side.
Mary did not sleep.
"Mother Maria, are you alright? Have they given you any trouble...?"
Towards the end, she choked up and could barely utter a word.
Maria gently stroked Genny's cheek in a comforting gesture, then tenderly wiped away his tears. In the darkness, Genny vaguely saw her lips move, silently uttering, "God bless."
Before he could react to why Maria's mother wasn't saying a word, he felt something brush past his ear, followed by a scream from behind.
The heavy object hit something and fell to the ground. He saw that it was a Bible and that the person had been hit squarely on the head by the Bible.
His attire was different from what he was wearing now, suggesting he still held some status within the Dark Clan.
Mary walked past him, picked up the Bible from the ground, and smashed it hard on the man's head again.
The man then completely lost consciousness, his fate unknown.
Upon hearing the first sound, Eric rushed in, his thoughts briefly pausing for a second or two before he lowered his hand from his eyes.
He glanced at the gentle and frail woman that Kenny had described, and then at the thick Bible.
"Other Dark minions will probably be attracted by the noise soon. Let's leave quickly and catch up when we get back to Moe Academy."
They dressed Maria in the clothes they had prepared beforehand and quickly left following the route they had agreed upon in the attic.
Ukunana and Opa, who were waiting on the shallower level, reported that there was no large gathering of Dark Clan members above. Eric, Genny, and Miya Star and Ulala, who were guarding the entrance to the eleventh level, met up and saw several Dark Clan members lying unconscious on the ground nearby.
It seems that not many Dark Clan members attract attention through movement.
In an unnoticed corner, a figure almost blended into the darkness, following them at a distance until they reached the shallower area. Seeing the seven people reunite, he seized the opportunity when everyone lowered their guard and pointed his hand at Maria.
Meanwhile, the poison vines slowly moved in the same direction.
However, all of it was silently suppressed.
The poison vines retreated into the shadows, completely suppressed by a powerful dark being. Instinctive fear rendered him unable to use any magic.
The best opportunity had passed, and the Quark people gradually left this level.
“Hmm, few members of the Dark Clan study healing magic. Although yours is the worst I’ve ever seen, but…”
It's still quite surprising.
The conversation was interrupted.
"Are you the person the Great Emperor has been searching for?"
His body trembled uncontrollably from instinct, and Zhen Guangming couldn't tell whether he was afraid or excited.
He only knew that his opportunity to make a name for himself had arrived.
The Dark Emperor had been searching for someone who was hiding. Based on the messages shouted out when the Emperor was angry, he guessed that the person was a traitor to the Dark Clan.
Will this person kill him?
Good riddance.
At that time, the Emperor will be able to immediately detect the presence of his killer from the remaining dark aura. Such a tremendous achievement, his greatness, his...
"Hmm, it seems he saw all the surprises prepared for the Emperor. I thought the old man living alone was out of touch with the news, which is why he didn't react at all."
"But little kid."
A hand pressed not gently on his wound, shattering all his beautiful fantasies.
All he could hear was the rapid heartbeat and quick breathing. He vaguely saw a harmless smile on the other person's lips before realizing that he couldn't make a sound.
The crude healing magic could only stop the bleeding and relieve the pain. He could clearly feel the blood flowing down his head, but he clearly did not sense any killing intent.
Don't you want to kill him?
Or... or...
"Don't wear your little thoughts on your sleeve."
He collapsed to the ground, powerless, his consciousness becoming hazy. The pain from his wounds gradually numbed him. He couldn't open his eyes and could only sense that someone was standing in front of him. Then, a few drops of liquid splashed onto his face.
Only after the man left did he belatedly realize that the liquid that had been slapped on his face was his own blood.
……
It's unclear when the Cute Knights discovered it.
It was expected that once Situ Lang became the principal, the Cute Knights would know the news and come to rescue Maria, who was imprisoned.
He found an opportunity to mute Maria—after all, as long as a person doesn't die, who cares if that human is missing an arm or a leg?
He then hid in the shadows of the prison cell for several days, making sure no one discovered his presence.
The purpose was to deliver a fatal blow when the cute knight was caught off guard.
The Dark Emperor will be very happy to have killed a cute knight.
Who would have thought that a weak human would suddenly do something like this?
He pretended to faint and waited for them to leave before secretly following them. Just as he was about to launch a sneak attack, he suddenly lost consciousness.
It's possible that the fall hit the wound, and when his subordinates found him and helped him up, there was a pool of blood on the ground.
Fortunately, he's always been physically resilient.
"Your Majesty, the Cute Knights are still inside the underground waterways. Should we gather everyone and launch an attack?"
If we wait any longer, they might really leave.
The Dark Emperor rejected his proposal.
Just like that day when he knew that there were cute knights mixed in with the cute warriors, he suggested taking the opportunity to eliminate the two cute knights, but the emperor still just ordered the dark minions to surround the cute warriors.
They also secretly sent the poison vines to find the right opportunity to eliminate as many as possible.
"No need, they're not the important ones right now."
Isn't the cute knight important?
However, Princess Naya was also mixed in with them. Didn't the Emperor always want to capture Naya alive?
What could be more important than the Cute Knight and Princess Naya?
He didn't understand.
However, having spent many years by the side of the Dark Emperor, even though his strength was far inferior to Zheng Jing's, he was very good at strategic hiding and understanding the Emperor's mood.
Since the Emperor didn't explicitly say so, it's not something he should know. He just needs to do as the Emperor says.
He retreated with a hint of reluctance, touched the back of his injured head, and gasped.
I feel like I've forgotten something.
What could it be?
Strange.
