Chapter 1416 1269: Into the Forbidden Zone 1
To them it might have been Alex's woman as the man was known for achieving the impossible, from zero to hero, The man singlehandedly erased an empire, and he accomplished many things something like a curse, and granting his women and followers the absolute strength must be nothing.
Ironically, there was a certain individual from a certain organization who promised them the same thing but the man was too shady and demanding too much so at the moment the matriarchs have forgotten about this. They would obediently become this woman's dog to attain absolute strength even if the chance was slim. Their profit sensor was telling them not to miss this opportunity.
Maria who had been observing them since she unleashed her domain alongside another trick and upon seeing their obedient eyes, was shocked, so shocked that she almost rubbed her eyes as she could swear to have seen the illusion of tails wagging behind them. Things have progressed beyond her expectations. The slave imprint created by her joint effort with Noire seemed to have perfectly settled, meaning she could use them whoever she wanted, for example, order them to suicide bomb.
The mission of investigation and putting them in check was an absolute success.
Maria canceled her frozen world domain and declared.
''From today onwards slavery of any other races is forbidden, you'll have to release the former slaves and compensate them. Instead of taking 60 percent as I've previously stated, I'll take 50%, and use the rest to deal with this issue as soon as possible. I'll be going, for now, Remember to pay tribute to the empire. Someone will come later to tell you my order and you'll have to follow everything he says.''
''We will carry your order your excellence.'' The matriarchs curtsied and Maria nodded before vanishing.
''One useful thing is done, more to go. We must fail this war. I'll do everything to help us, to help you, my love.'' Maria mumbled while going back to the others.
"Will everything be fine, Big sister?"
Saeko asked, resting her hands behind her head and gazing forward lazily.
Maria lifted her head, scanned the deep tunnel ahead, and shrugged.
"Who knows? We'll have to leave it Zwei now."
Luna followed behind as the three disappeared into the dark tunnel, trying to explore this forbidden located on the outskirts of Gandor's city.
The path was neither complicated nor long. Despite that, Luna and Saeko became restless shortly after. Not only them, but Maria also gazed grimly at the tunnel exit that was a hundred meters ahead. It was total darkness, which wasn't surprising considering that it was a forbidden shrouded in darkness on the other side. However, what Maria and especially Luna felt wasn't the displeasure against darkness.
But against that mysterious aura instead.
They didn't react to the aura while in the deep underground. But now, as they approached the surface, a gloomy aura left them in discomfort. It became denser and was as though eroding them. They also felt like they were walking in smelly sewers, where every movement and breath made them nauseous and giddy. When one breathed in the air, one felt dizzy and even one's reactions became sluggish. In an instant, one couldn't differentiate the directions at all…
"Hmph!"
Maria let out a snort. Of course, she knew what was going on. They faced this situation more than once, it was that vile chaos energy. She was sure whatever on the other side had something to do with the Chaos organization. This zone was so dangerous that even the matriarchs dared not to step closer to investigate and when Maria's group decided to do it, they gladly accepted.
Suddenly, Luna extended her left arm and along with this action, a golden halo expanded with her in the middle, enfolding her group completely. Shortly after, the gray scenery ahead transformed as its colors turned vibrant.
"Phew. I finally feel alive."
Up until that moment, the stifled Saeko let out a long sigh of relief. Maria nodded, pleased by Luna's action. It could be seen that under the influence of Chaos energy missed in the air, the group seemed listless and sluggish. And now, after Luna cast the golden holy halo, they finally returned to their usual selves.
Quickly the group neared the exit of the tunnel, Here the white fog was thicker but they had no trouble walking through it, walking through the exit was greeted them was several mountains covered in a white fog, they walked down and saw what appeared to be a ghost town.
The once jam-packed roads that led to Naporia were unrecognizable as nature had begun reclaiming the now-unused area. Gardens are bustling with insect life who've made their home in the now tall grasses and overgrown bushes.
Remnants of packages and magazines still lay at some of the doorsteps, unopened and long forgotten. At least the animals got some use out of them. Many roofs had collapsed and in some cases had taken the entire building with them. Others looked in decent shape and were simply dirty and filled with bird nests.
Naporia, once a major festival town and home to an amazing night lift was now partially reclaimed by nature. The many sounds of wild animals who've made their home in this town are carried in the wind and give it a new sense of liveliness and vibrancy.
The large mill just outside of town still stood, though it was definitely on its last legs. A few animals still took shelter within its hollow walls, but the winds and worst weather had left their mark.
Were it not for the animals that had made their home in many of the buildings this town would've surely been a far more unsettling sight. But despite all the decay and destruction at least there was happiness among the animals. Most had found a relative haven to live in.
The ghost town was covered in white mist. Maria gazed at his surroundings swiftly. At that moment, among the white mist, she heard some strange sounds of friction and deep growls, which were unnatural. Maria hesitated no more. She stared ahead and commanded.
"Let's go."
