Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple
Chapter 488 Chapter488- A Crisis Filled With Doubts
John, Mystery Protector, and Duke Arsena quickly arrived at the location where traces of Mystery power had been previously detected in the Naga tribe, under the guidance of Shatras.
"This is the spot where the traces of Mystery power had appeared before. As you can see, there are no longer any clues of Mystery power here. If you wish to closely observe this area, please feel free to do so. However, if you find this location unhelpful for your ongoing investigation, just let me know, and I will take you to the next place you wish to visit," said Shatras calmly, and then she stepped aside. After all, according to the orders of the Naga Queen, her duty was merely to assist these three individuals.
Although she was a Legend Magus of the Naga tribe, she was not required to investigate the traces of Mystery power.
Duke Arsena's expression remained extremely grave.
After a moment of silence, he turned his gaze to John and Mystery Protector.
"Do you have any plan right now? As very powerful casters, you must be highly intuitive. If you possess a strong intuition, you should be able to sense the traces where Mystery power once existed," he said.
Mystery Protector silently shook his head.
He indeed had not detected any traces of Mystery power in the area.
Perhaps it was because too much time had passed, or maybe the Naga tribe had already eradicated all traces of the Mystery power.
Mystery Protector's response left Duke Arsena somewhat helpless, and he could only turn his attention to John.
John did not immediately respond, as he felt the need to ponder more carefully.
"I haven't found any clues of the Mystery power either, but I feel something about this place isn't quite right. You might want to closely examine the water here. The water elements contained in the sea water at this location differ significantly from those in other areas. Why does this place have so many fewer water elements? Could it be that your Naga tribe has some spells that can freely alter the water elements in your area?"
John said, voicing his observations before directing his gaze at Shatras.
He couldn't rule out the possibility that the anomaly in the water element content was due to Naga tribe's magic.
Shatras, with a serious expression, shook her head.
Although she had maintained a very calm demeanor throughout, everyone could now sense a slight worry in her.
Moreover, her worried expression also carried a hint of confusion.
It seemed that Shatras also did not know why the water element content here was different from other places.
"Let's continue our investigation following this clue. Lord Mystery Protector, you must have extensive knowledge about water elements. Do you have any thoughts you could share with us now?"
At that moment, John turned his attention to Mystery Protector.
Although he knew that Mystery Protector was unlikely to offer assistance, he wanted to make others believe that Mystery Protector was harboring some secrets.
Only by doing so, could he possibly gain the support of Duke Arsena and even the Naga tribe in his forthcoming confrontations with Mystery Protector.
Mystery Protector nodded: "I indeed have extensive knowledge about water elements. And I might have an idea why the water elements here are so scarce."
After saying this, Mystery Protector took a step forward and approached a Naga building: "Please take a close look at this building. I hadn't had the chance to examine it carefully before. After a thorough inspection, I've found that this building contains a very powerful force of fire elements. Doesn't your Naga tribe worship the Sea God? If so, why is there such a strong presence of fire elements?"
Following Mystery Protector's remarks, everyone's gaze shifted to a building not far from them.
Shatras looked utterly shocked, as if she had just realized the intense fire element power within that building.
"I had no idea! As followers of the Sea God, how could we Naga possibly use the power of fire elements! This must be the doing of members from the Mystery faction! Let's hurry over and examine it closely!"
After saying this, Shatras immediately rushed towards the building.
As a Legend Magus of the Naga tribe, she had to ensure the safety of her people.
The presence of such strong fire element power within the Naga tribe indicated that Shatras had not completed the quest given to her by the Naga Queen.
As Shatras quickly headed towards the building, John and the other two followed suit.
However, just as Shatras was about to reach the building, it suddenly burst into flames.
Within the fierce blaze, John could sense the presence of a powerful Mystery force.
He instinctively shouted to Shatras, "Be careful!"
Shatras, a powerful magus, was immediately aware of the grave danger she was in.
But it was too late for her to evade. The intense power of the fire element instantly dissipated the shield of water elements she had conjured.
The moment her shield vanished, a force of overwhelming Mystery power rapidly surged towards Shatras.
All Shatras could see was a ferocious monster charging at her, roaring.
She could only ascertain that this monster was a manifestation of Mystery power.
Not far from Shatras, John, Mystery Protector, and Duke Arsena were all ready for combat.
Due to their distance from Shatras, they could clearly see the full appearance of the monster.
John and Duke Arsena almost instantly identified the creature as Mystery Vanguard.
Its presence indicated that the Naga tribe was facing a tremendous danger.
"We must act quickly! Shatras doesn't seem strong enough to defeat Mystery Vanguard alone!" exclaimed Duke Arsena.
After saying this, he transformed into a beam of Holy Light and rapidly moved beside Shatras.
His holy sword, raised high, formed a protective shield around Shatras, offering her additional protection.
Mystery Protector and John, although not as fast, also sprang into action.
Mystery Protector hurled an Arcane bomb towards Mystery Vanguard, while John unleashed the Abyssal Prison spell.
The combined efforts of Mystery Protector and John effectively hindered Mystery Vanguard's assault, and Shatras was spared from immediate danger.
Duke Arsena, as a Paladin, possessed formidable defensive capabilities.
With his assistance, Shatras successfully retreated to a safe position.
"What should we do now?! It seems that with our current power, we are unable to defeat this creature! If we can't eliminate this Mystery monster quickly, the Naga tribe will face even greater threats," Shatras said, her face devoid of any relief.
As the Legend Magus of the Naga tribe, she was acutely aware that if Mystery Vanguard wasn't swiftly neutralized, the tribe would suffer severe devastation.
"A Naga guard has already gone to inform Her Majesty the Queen, and I believe she will soon provide us with assistance. Our current task is to limit the movements of Mystery Vanguard as much as possible. As long as we prevent Mystery Vanguard from reaching other parts of the Naga tribe, the overall damage to the tribe should be minimized. We will definitely provide full support to your tribe!"
Duke Arsena promptly responded to Shatras's concern.
In his view, this was an excellent opportunity to reconcile with the Naga tribe.
If he could help the Naga tribe eliminate Mystery Vanguard, then perhaps the tribe would no longer be hostile towards Storm City.
Mystery Protector and John obviously agreed with Duke Arsena's plan.
However, to John, the sudden emergence of this crisis seemed incredibly abrupt and mysterious.
Their previous failure to detect any traces of Mystery power within the Naga tribe was likely due to interference by a Mystery Saint.
So why didn't the Mystery Saint choose to interfere this time?
Could it be that the Mystery Saint wanted to use this opportunity to execute a more significant plan?
John pondered this question in his mind.
