Chapter 426 424:An Anonymous Figure 2

The speed of their descent slowed as they passed through the pile of debris and the two figures touched the ground with a thud.

Orbs of fireballs lit up clearing away the darkness.

The orbs floated around them and ignited the dark passage.

They looked at the ground-plastered ground and then looked up at the ceiling.

It seems to be an underground passage leading somewhere.

"A fierce fight seemed to have ensued here."

The masked man muttered.

Large dents and scratch marks filled the surrounding walls.

Rubbles and debris are scattered all around.

Craters formed due to the collision of fists and cuts made of sword marks had left deep impressions in many places.

It was even surprising that this place had been holding till now without collapsing.

The masked man glanced all around and muttered"Wilford, can you feel it."

Wilford nodded with a hardened expression.

"The space seemed to be filled with animosity."

"I am not talking about that."The masked man spoke and looked at Wilford with a meaningful gaze.

Wilford touched one of the walls "Half of the space around here seemed to be purified by someone."

"There is no trace of miasma in sight but one can still feel the lingering presence."

"It seems that the other side had taken care of everything but purposely left a present for others to notice." The Masked man muttered.

"Wilford, you are at Mythic rank so you could observe the mana flow with your keen senses easily so try to trace the flow."

Wilford complied immediately and stepped forward.

His eyes glowed and he saw traces of mana from the previous fight lingering in the air. The battle was a mess and it was already a miracle that this place was holding on.

Wilford led The masked man inside over a broken wall and found a destroyed ceiling, rugged shelves and a weapon stand.

Many chests have been laid open and wrecked from the inside.

Not a single thing in the storage was left out.

"Is this the case of robbery?" Wilford blurted out with a horrified look.

His face contorted to a frown as he looked all around.

"Maybe the person needed money so he took everything or maybe it was an assassin who was sent out to kill and take something." The Masked Man concluded and rubbed his chin.

"But is there any assassin who can use divinity and purification?"He spoke while looking around weirdly.

''Wilford, let's try to look for clues."

TAP! TAP!TAP!

Light of the flames poured out from the other side.

The Masked man snapped his finger and the orbs of fire vanished instantly.

Wilford and the masked man in the midst of looking around saw the Knights appear here which makes them conclude that the secret passage might have led here.

Wilford ordered the Knights to search around.

The Masked Man who was pacing to and fro suddenly halted and looked at the north side of the passage where the wall had been not damaged.

Except for it, all the other places have been damaged.

The Masked Man tapped Wilford and asked him to take a look.

"Lighten that area!"

"Yes Sir!"

As light ignited the place, they just saw a normal standing wall without anything out of place.

It was just that it was too normal which makes one suspicious.

Wilford released his mana and was startled for a moment.

"Step back a bit."

Wilford raised his palms, and a small glint appeared on his hands.

Swish!

An orb of mana flew towards the place and struck the wall.

Gush!

The entire wall was illuminated by flashing red light which blinded one vision.

The Masked Man's expression tensed and he was alerted wondering whether there would be an attack on them but contrary to everyone's thoughts, the blinding light on the wall disappeared and soon words glowing in the dark of man appeared over.

[Problem lies deep inside the soil. Purify it and the drought will disappear.]

Everyone's eyes widened with surprised expressions.

The Masked Man's eyes trembled and his lips quivered. He wasn't able to discern much but he didn't know why a seed of hope was planted in his heart.

.......

Inside the jolting carriage, Riya stared at Alex with an amused expression.

Alex was tapping his feet again and again.

He looked quite nervous.

"Alex, are you nearly nervous or are you just pretending?"

"Huh!"

"Am I a sick need that needs to act like this just to get attention?" Alex spoke with a weird gaze.

"What is making you anxious?"

"I am naturally worried. I don't know whether they got my word or not. I even wondered whether they could figure it out or not."

"Then why didn't you just write it straight."

"I was just being cautious. I don't know who will be the one coming to the place. I don't want anyone from those shady people to know about it, which would lead to a catastrophe."

Alex racked his brain wondering whether to take the chance to write something or not.

The miasma which had been invading Arkham had been repeatedly cleared with the help of Churches but this wasn't enough to make everything go back to normal.

The miasma had a property to taint everything it came into contact with whether it was air, land or soil.

The contaminated water may become poisonous and kill people if taken carelessly.

Similarly, the miasma slowly and steadily seeps inside the soil and starts affecting them bit by bit.

If their concentration is high, they would turn the soil black and then a black wriggling slimey mass of outgrowth could be noticed from there.

Since the miasma went deeper into the soil, it was hard to purify it unless the other side was skilful enough to cover everything in one go.

Since no one was as talented as his wife Athena, they just clear above the surface and leave the lower soil surface which is the cause of the major problem.

Alex just wanted to pass this message to the other side but he didn't know whether he was successful or not.
