Chapter 550 The Battle Of The Holy Island (6)

"You're finally awake, Eli-chan!" Wisey exclaimed with anticipation.

Her round eyes were glistening in excitement as they looked at the stone bed which was already moving to reveal what lies underneath it.

Brrrrrr!

Eli's eyes were also shining in anticipation, could it be the very thing that they wanted to see inside the temple?

Will the place underneath answer the questions they have regarding the asanis, the cursed user, Lord Raven, and the fallen angel Birsha?

The walls of the stone bed folded and sunk down, the top of it also collapsed on one side, revealing a pathway leading further down.

"Sigh… another pathway? I don't get why there would be multiple secrets within the secrets in here!" Wisey could not help but complain.

"If it is something that would reveal all the secrets in ancient times, then it could be understandable," Eli replied in seriousness.

She did not delay any further and moved to step inside the pathway. She knew that Baobao was holding off the enemy for the fight and so she no longer wasted any second.

But just as she did that, she felt several speeding hostile figures in their direction.

Her face darkened... another hurdle came once again.

"It seems like the people on the third floor are already awake," Wisey told Eli with a serious expression.

Eli and Wisey know that the scientists on the third floor are all madmen, just like the crazy doctor who tortured Elise when she was a child.

"Let's take them down first… we cannot go further anyways with their disturbance." Eli mentally communicated with Wisey as she looked at several men who had already barged in the entrance.

"I was wondering who was courageous enough to infiltrate the secret laboratory… it turns out to be a little lady and an owl…" The leader of the group, who was a man probably around his sixties with sallow skin and dark eyes looked at Eli and Wisey threateningly.

"The two of you should learn not to barge into someone's laboratory!" He growled angrily.

Eli and Wisey did not answer any of her words, instead, she gauged the situation.

At the moment they are in a narrow room, which is not suitable for a group fight. Her opponents were around fifteen mad scientists, all equipped with all kinds of obscure creations and tricks under their sleeves.

Eli only had Wisey at the moment as Baobao and the earth fairies were already occupied with their own tasks.

"It seems like we could only go all out…" Eli replied.

"Indeed…" Wisey answered with certainty.

With a tacit understanding, Wisey hovered in the air and prepared for the battle.



Eli on the other hand immediately took her short sword and wielded it expertly. Then with her devourer's powers, she used her flash steps to immediately blink behind a scientist and take away his life.

To kill those who could no longer be redeemed.

This was something that her teacher, High Priest Enoch, prepared her painstakingly. As she was not an assassin, not even someone trained for war, her only task is to subdue evil, the curse users.

This is her vow as the Paladin, as someone who received the greater blessing from the heavens!

Seeing one of their comrades die just like that without them even realizing where the other party had gone, the faces of the madmen became ugly.

They already knew that Eli is not a simple intruder, but they did not expect that she would be highly proficient in battle.

The mad scientists immediately moved using their own magical techniques and surrounded Eli and Wisey tightly.

Eli looked at the men who were standing just in front of the opened passageway. She did not know if the latch had a time limit. She did not figure out how the mechanism revealed itself as well.

There's no choice but to take them down as early as possible! And so, she moved once again, attacking the nearest scientist.

The men were already on guard for Eli's next move and yet they still could not keep up with her speed and so they gritted their teeth and took out some purple gas bombs inside their pouches.

"Seal off the entrance…" The leader of the scientist reminded the men who were near the entrance afraid that the attacks would damage the things inside the deeper passageway.

"Yes, chief!" The scientist nearby moved and deactivated the mechanism. Instantly, the stone bed appeared again, sealing off the entrance to the deeper secret room.

Eli and Wisey did not panic, since the other party had already sealed it off, they had no choice but to clear them first before figuring out once again how to open it.

"Eli chan, I remembered how they deactivated it earlier, maybe that can be a clue when we figure out how to open the pathway again!" Wisey told Eli.

"Alright… that's good enough," Eli replied and focused on fighting the men.

Wisey on the other hand cast a spell isolating the other scientists so that they could not make a sneak attack against Eli.

The two worked together, Eli attacking and Wisey taking charge to watch Eli's back, in a few minutes their opponents were already down to five.

"H-how can you not be affected by the poison!?!" The remaining scientists could not believe what they were witnessing.

The purple poison bomb was the upgraded version of what was released in the black markets across Prasinos!

Just by having the poison powder touch one's skin, the curse power will immediately penetrate the victim's body and eat away their life force.

Once the life force was already eaten up, the life force will be converted into purple mana crystals which they can use to feed themselves and replenish their curse energy.

But now, they were in shock to see Eli and Wisey not showing any signs of withering away!

"We spent a week to get the attention of the administrators in the outer work area, a day and a half trying to learn all your concoctions under the guise of speeding up the process. Of course, we would be able to see through that purple bomb and even develop an antidote for it."

Eli, for the first time, answered the scientist's inquiry before launching her flash steps again, taking another life of the remaining five.

Not good!

This time the scientist finally guessed who Eli was, she was one of the spies that were discovered to join the ranks of the new recruits a few days ago!

"Go all out! We cannot let her do as she wanted!" The leader finally took out his purple mana stones and ate them decisively.

The other three followed the suit and ate the purple mana stones like candy as well.

Almost immediately, a surging evil power seeped through their bodies, emitting a combination of purple and black wisps of energy.

Bang!

The leader immediately charged and threw a punch at Eli.





Szzzzzzzzzt!

Eli's eyes flashed in seriousness as she felt the power of the leader's punch. Her opponent became stronger by four times!

Not giving her any time to breathe and readjust, the other three also went into her blind spots and launched another attack.

"Eli-chan watch out!" Fortunately, Wisey was able to hold off two scientists, leaving Eli to only dodge the third one.

"They became stronger… They can even crush my restriction spell in three seconds now!" Wisey said worriedly.

Eli also knew that matter and she could only hold her short sword firmly and reply, "Let's be more aggressive."

"Alright… then." Wisey immediately understood Eli's words. She flipped her wings and executed a ferocious wind-blade attack as she simultaneously launched a sneaky restriction spell on a scientist's foot.

Bang!

The scientist was about to dodge Wisey's wind-blade attack but did not know why one of his feet was suddenly stuck on the floor.

In the end, his movement caused him to stumble on the floor heavily and in the next second, he met his demise with Eli's fatal attack on his heart.

"Despicable!" The leaders and the two remaining scientists were angry to see one of their comrades get tricked disgracefully.

"Hehehe…" Wisey only chuckled tauntingly. She and Baobao have been friends for a long and they usually do this thing to trick the crimson blades in the cottage back then.

During their training, Baobao would be the attacker and she would be the one who would sneakily launch restrictive spells that even the Blades would feel helpless about.

She is Wisey and indeed wise! She can come up with all kinds of tricks just to defeat the enemies at sight.

In the end with her and Eli working perfectly in sync with each other, the remaining three were finally subdued.

Lying on the wet and cold stone floor, the resentful glare of the leader landed on Eli's body.

"Curse you a thousand times!" He uttered under his dying breath.

"No matter how many times you curse, you are still damned…" Eli uttered these words slowly, remembering how many stones these people swallowed earlier.

They clearly killed a lot of people, and they deserved to have a punishment even after their deaths!
