Chapter 165 Justice Falls into the Abyss
"A thousand-year curse, etched in blood, transformed into a heart of rage; you rising serpent, you will devour justice and plunge it into the abyss."
"The light of the broken blade is both hope and a gateway to despair—" Cassandra tells Roy her interpretation of the "prophetic dream."
"The upper half?"
Roy's pupils contracted; he had almost forgotten about "prophetic dreams." What exactly did that refer to?
The dream was even upside down, but the new "content" was clearer than before, and Roy could decipher it by combining it with information about this world.
The "Millennial Curse" likely refers to the Daedalus family. The phrase "etched in blood, transformed into a heart of rage" refers to either Dix's or the other party's curse magic.
What follows is rather horrifying.
"Justice will fall into the abyss—"
Roy muttered to himself, "What does 'abyss' refer to? And who does this 'justice' refer to?"
He happens to have the title of "Sprout of Justice," Miss Ryu's revived heart of justice, and the goddess Astraea who is in charge of "justice." The target group is a bit too large. At this moment, Roy felt a chill all over his body. Something is wrong, something is very wrong.
The Ikelos Familia lured them into the sewers with the intention of murdering and robbing them.
Roy and the Loki clan's hunting plan.
It went too smoothly!
Roy felt like he was in a nested doll, wondering if he was also in some larger circle. An invisible hand reached out from the darkness and grabbed him.
Cassandra's "prophetic dream" was a warning of disaster, but can anything that has happened so far be called a disaster? Roy broke out in a cold sweat.
"Miss Ryu, come back quickly!" Roy shouted.
Liu Gang, who was in the distance, subdued a level 3 adventurer. Hearing Roy's voice, he turned around slightly.
boom!
At that moment, accompanied by a loud bang, the ground cracked open, and a colossal creature emerged from the ground, the impact blasting Roy, Astrea, Daphne, and everyone around them away.
Screams and gasps of terror rang out continuously.
The commotion it caused instantly attracted everyone's attention, and what was even more terrifying was the identity of this monster.
"Lemton?!"
Ryu, Finn, Riveria, and the others stared wide-eyed at the monster in disbelief.
It was a rare monster, originating from the deepest levels of the lower realms. Its head pointed towards the front, and its massive jaws, capable of swallowing even a large-scale orc whole, were enormous. It had nine holes on either side of its mouth, organs not found on other monsters.
Its eyes were piercing and its brutality and ferocity far surpassed that of monsters from the lower and middle classes.
Its official name is "Ōsō-i"!
Also known as "Ominous Sign", it dwells on the 37th floor. The guild judges its potential ability to be Lv.4. Its size varies, with the longest reaching 100 meters!
But this is the surface of the earth!
The sudden appearance of a monster from the deepest realms is far too unbelievable for a child.
The moment he emerged, Lambton's target was clear: the goddess Astraea, who had been thrown to the ground by the impact.
It opened its blood-red maw, swallowed it whole, and then burrowed underground.
Its speed was so great that no one present could react in time.
Only Roy, who was lying to the side, pounced on Lambton's tail just as it was about to disappear.
Roy's hands crackled with golden lightning, transforming into sharp claws covered in barbs that pierced into Lambton's body, securing him firmly to the claws.
The two people and the beast vanished quickly, leaving behind only a huge pit with a diameter of more than five meters, seemingly leading to the earth's core, its depths unfathomable.
The sudden change caught everyone off guard.
The once noisy underground passage fell silent for a moment, plunging into a deathly stillness.
"No!" Liu stared blankly at the scene, her face turning pale. She let out a shrill cry and rushed over like a madwoman.
Rivera stopped her, otherwise Ryu would have jumped straight into that deep pit.
Finn's expression was also grim. He said in a deep voice, "Everyone, take care of them as quickly as possible!"
"yes!"
The Loki Coupon members responded loudly.
Seven or eight minutes later, the monsters in the underground passage were cleared out by Loki's Familia, and after Dix ran away, the effects of the curse magic gradually faded.
Everyone regained consciousness and reason, but wherever their eyes fell, there was only silence. Everyone knew...
This is going to be a big problem!
Roy and the goddess Astraea, I don't know where that Lambton took them. Maybe a god was sent back, or even died!
Fortunately, they captured many members of the Ikelos Familia.
Intelligence can be obtained from these populations.
The Loki Familia members surrounded these people.
Finn's gaze swept over the group of Ikeros Familia members. "Where did Remton take the seeds of justice and the goddess Astraea?"
In the face of this question, the origins of Lambton and the details of the Ikelos Familia must take a backseat.
The members of the Ikeros Familia all lowered their heads, their eyes flickering, and all remained silent.
"Hey, you little punk, didn't you hear our boss asking you a question?" Bert pulled a middle-aged man out of the crowd, his face fierce and menacing.
Compared to the gentle and refined Finn, the werewolf Bert is far more terrifying.
The adventurer, his voice trembling with fear, hurriedly said, "I don't know! We didn't prepare Lambton at all. That giant snake was used for trade; Dix traded it for the fairy soldiers."
"Who did you trade with? Tell me now!"
"Hurry up, or I'll kill you right now!"
Faced with interrogation from the two major clans.
The adventurer said, somewhat distraught, "It's a god. I don't know his name. Only the god Ikelos, Dix, and the officers know it."
After interrogating all the members of the Ikelos Familia, it was confirmed that, as they said, these lowly minions did not know the identity of the god.
Only those who escaped know.
Finn's face darkened. There was actually a third-party force involved. The depth of their concealment was truly terrifying.
Things are getting complicated!
Not knowing their location, they had no idea how to even begin a rescue attempt. For the time being, they could only rely on Roy to protect the goddess Astraea.
Liu Tian's blue eyes seemed to lose their light, and his heart was filled with deep pain and regret.
Upon hearing that the Ikelos Familia was connected to the Dark Faction, she was consumed by hatred and rage, wanting nothing more than revenge and to kill those villains.
Perhaps if she had stayed with Roy and the goddess Astrea, this tragedy could have been avoided. Her most foolish sin was weighing her fellow members, the goddess, and hatred on the same scale.
Cassandra's face turned deathly pale.
If the giant serpent's target was the goddess Astrea from beginning to end, then if they stayed in the Star Court, the giant serpent would most likely have appeared as well.
Therefore, the "prophetic dream" guides her that she must stay by Roy's side today to have a chance of survival.
