It had been almost an hour since the battle had begun in the city. Thousands of deaths had already occurred across the empire and continent, but armies of tens of thousands of soldiers had already entered the 37th floor to help.
Jas and Ariel, followed by Ariel, had passed through the demon beasts and were chasing after the strange things that Jas had felt before, which could be considered as 'seals'.
When they reached the northern part of the city, they realised that a very high level of clean mana was emitted from the small wooded area inside the city.
More precisely, this 'seal' was made of pure mana, it felt like the pure mana of a child, and that was the scary thing.
If such pure mana wasn't made by an incredibly good-hearted mage or soone who was entangled in sacred magic, it ant that a sacrifice had been made.
That's what was so frightening about a child's pure mana, the possibility of child sacrifice was literally on display. Explore more adventures at empire
When Jas and Ariel got closer to the seal, they were able to see what was inside the seal with their eyes. It was nothing more than another ancient demon. The fact that this ti there were no weakening spells or dodgy rune sequences made it all the better.
Jas suddenly gripped the Lun tightly by the hilt and then began to gather a not-insignificant amount of aura and magic into the Godly Sword Lun.
After almost ten seconds of careful summoning, he inserted the sword, albeit slowly, into the seal and then, as calmly as possible, pierced what he thought was the ancient demon right through the neck.
Because the seal was small and the being inside looked like an ancient demon, Jas thought that they had indeed encountered such a being, but this was not the case.
[I think they're trying to gather energy for a bigger seal. This is a very, very small seal to contain an ancient demon or another ancient demon beast].
Upon reading this ssage from Erebus, Jas suddenly chooses to take Ariel with him to the lord's house in the city. Perhaps there they might succeed in finding the sister of the twin nobles.
Even though they were acting with this hope, they still did not have great hope. After all, it was necessary to be realistic, not many people could survive such a thing, even if this was the 27th floor, most of the people born in the tower tried to spend their lives without climbing the tower.
This ant that the chances of the twins' sister being alive were no more than 5 per cent. It was close to impossible.
Still, Jas wanted to keep his promise to the twins.
He had searched the city lord's house and had co across a few traces. These were a few traces that were drawn with a very good spell control. Whoever it was who had drawn these marks was a little beyond Jas in terms of spell control, Jas did not doubt that it was soone who had completed at least the 10th and perhaps even the 11th magic circle.
After all, it had taken Jas almost ten minutes to recognise these marks.
They had followed the tracks for a short ti and after this short ti, they had found a small door where the tracks converged.
It was incredible that this door leading to the basent of the house was undiscovered.
Jas gently deciphered the spell codes he had found on the door and after opening the door, he and Ariel proceeded to the basent.
After an incredibly deep descent of almost five minutes, they finally reached a place where there was light.
Jas and Ariel were stunned by the sight they saw.
There were perhaps over a thousand people standing in the basent of the city lord's house. The people who saw Jas and Ariel began to rush and after a short ti, a woman ca forward.
"May I know who you are?" the mysterious woman asked, holding a thin knife hidden in her clothes in her right hand. Jas couldn't miss it; after all, he held Selene's Throwing Knife in the sa way.
'I'm here to find the sister of the twin brothers Adam and Alan,' Jas replied, and with that, he realised that the knife the woman in front of him had hidden had suddenly disappeared.
"That would be , my na is Alissa, my brothers...where are they?" asked the woman who had introduced herself as Alissa.
Hearing these words, Jas smiled with relief and then said, "They are in the Imperial Palace. We will teleport you all there. Please pack up."
With that, he opened one of the teleportation scrolls in his hand and activated the spell by sending its mana to the scroll.
If he tore the scroll, only he and those who physically touched it could go with him, but transferring magic to the scroll and activating it would transfer a large magic ring to a selected location on the flat earth.
This ant that a massive teleportation spell would take place.
Alissa quickly gathered over a thousand commoners and even the nobles who had co here to visit and were trapped in the magic ring, and with that, Jas knelt on the ground and transferred above-average magic to the place where the magic ring would work so that the spell would work smoothly.
After a brief flash, everyone disappeared and Ariel and Jas no longer had any reason not to fight.
The two stared at each other for a second and then ran towards the exit and quickly ran towards the town square to join the battle.
There were already thousands of corpses of demon beasts around. There were so many corpses that it was quite difficult to go anywhere without stepping on the corpses.
Still, they had to move as fast as possible for him to join the battle.
When Jas used his dark step ability and passed Ariel, he could see a black dot in the air in the distance. As his gaze locked on it, he realised that it was another demon. It didn't look like an ancient demon, though he didn't know if there were other types of ancient demons or other ancient beings.
There was very little information about these beings in the imperial library, after all.
That was exactly why Jas had chosen to ignore these things and attack. He climbed up a building and started jumping from one roof to another. After a short ti, he got close to the dark being and at that mont he saw Chao.
Using the Void Pen, he shouted directly into Chao's mind, "CHAO! FIRE !" and hearing this, Chao suddenly appeared behind Jas, grabbed him and threw him at the dark demon figure.
Jas managed to fly almost two hundred tres through the air at an incredible speed, and at that mont he gripped the Godly Sword Lun tightly by the hilt, covering it with all 8 Sacred Fire. Perhaps fighting like this would have consud much more mana and a little more aura, but at least this way he had the opportunity to take down the weak but dark demon figure in one attack.
The dark demonic figure had not recognised Jas and this would be the cause of his death.
In just four seconds, Jas ca from the ground into the air, right where the dark demon was, and cut it in half.
A huge lunge of fla flashed across the sky, even the rain falling from the clouds in the sky was vaporised by the heat of the flas for a few seconds and no drops of water reached the earth.
The dark demonic figure was burnt to ashes, and then not only that, its ashen existence was burnt out of existence.
With that, Jas began to fall to earth at a very high speed.
Chao suddenly started flying and caught Jas in a short ti. When Jas landed on the earth, he was surrounded by climbers and cultivators who looked at him with astonishnt and amazent.
"THE BATTLE IS NOT OVER! CONTINUE!!! PUSH FORWARD!" Jas suddenly shouted and with that, all the troops attacked for the last ti.
The city was not besieged, but at least the demon troops had been stopped. Perhaps only one of the ten thousand ancient monsters had been killed, but even that was pretty good.
"Sir Umbra! We have news from the Olympian troops. Perseus, Theseus and Eteocles have already managed to kill three ancient demons. The Olympus troops are asking for orders to advance, sir."
Both Chao, Jas and Ariel, who had caught up with them, looked at Yorhun's sudden news with great surprise.
"Your husband is doing a great job," Jas suddenly said to Ariel.
Ariel nodded her head, even though she was embarrassed, and replied, "I know that already."
After this small talk, Jas turned to the young Yorhun and said, "Tell Theseus and Perseus not to return until they have killed at least a hundred ancient monsters."
With these words, it was ti for the friendly sides to launch a decisive attack.
