In front of him, the houses appeared almost intact, and the streets were exceptionally clean, as if the city’s residents had suddenly vanished, freezing the entire city in a specific mont in ti.
At this mont, he faintly heard so sort of gear-turning sound coming from afar.
However, the sound seed to originate from the depths of the city and was only faintly audible at their current distance.
"I feel... as if sothing is watching us over there," Terrio frowned, pointing ahead.
Though he didn’t see any sign of an enemy, the Sword Saint’s keen senses would not deceive him.
"I also sense an obscure aura," Hernandez said, casually casting a water elent witchcraft, with flickering blue symbols floating in the air.
"There is definitely sothing wrong with this city."
"Why don’t we just use a killing blow to destroy this area? That way, even if there’s sothing hidden, we can force it out," Sword Saint Terrio proposed a very straightforward and brute force plan.
"Not a good idea!" Rein and Hernandez said almost simultaneously.
"If Haleem isn’t dead but hiding sowhere, our combined attack might accidentally harm or even kill him," Hernandez explained.
The joint power of three epic-level warriors could likely destroy this city ruin in half.
"Indeed, Lord Terrio, we’re here to rescue; we need to ascertain whether he’s alive or dead first," Rein nodded, agreeing.
This ti, he’s here to find Lord Haleem and obtain that witchcraft, regardless of whether the other is alive or dead.
Additionally, they hope to find traces of the Ancient Wizard School Valziger expedition team, particularly the owner of the black-leather diary, the sect leader Valziger’s remains.
If they use high-power witchcraft, the rubble might bury everything, making it impossible to find any traces.
"Alright then, let’s just go in. Given the three of us, even if we can’t fully explore, leaving shouldn’t be a problem."
Seeing both disagree, Terrio pressed no further and led the way, walking ahead.
Rein and Hernandez stayed in the middle, while the remaining elite Federation soldiers advanced behind them.
After walking about several dozen ters, suddenly, Terrio stopped in his tracks and said,
"Did you hear that?"
"A female voice."
"It’s becoming more distinct."
As the team halted, everyone, including Rein, seed to hear a female voice softly speaking sothings.
Yet, no matter how hard they listened, they couldn’t make out exactly what she was saying.
Even Hernandez, a well-read veteran Dawn Wizard, couldn’t discern what she was saying.
"Sothing’s not right; this is so sort of ntal effect," Rein suddenly said in a deep voice.
As he turned around, he noticed that the elite Federation soldiers behind him, be they Knights or Great Knights, were rolling their eyes and wandering off aimlessly.
"Purification Skill!"
A stream of light blue water erupted in front of Hernandez, forming ripples that covered the surrounding Federation soldiers.
Yet, even the light blue ripples washing over the soldiers couldn’t awaken them.
"How can it be ineffective?" Hernandez’s eyes widened with surprise!
anwhile.
A dense ’click-clack’ sound echoed from not far ahead...
