Chapter 1325: Chapter 845: War Underground, Journey to the Netherworld (Part 2)

"A Legendary Mage? No wonder the Dark Alliance suddenly has confidence..."

Brin’s expression grew increasingly unpleasant.

He took a deep breath, calmed his mood, and then continued:

"I remember there are some elf mercenaries in the city? Quickly bring them to me!"

"Yes, Chief!"

The Foreign Minister retreated.

"Wait a moment!"

Brin suddenly called out to him:

"Still, take me to meet them."

The Foreign Minister was slightly taken aback, then nodded heavily.

...

To find the few elf mercenaries in Blade City is not an easy task on usual days.

However, once the war breaks out, it’s an exception.

Wherever the battle is fiercest, there the elves accompany, a fact recognized by all, including the residents of the Underground.

Very soon, the Foreign Minister found the presence of elves at a gap in the city wall.

They were several elves with deep and powerful auras, even the experienced Silver Warriors on the wall looked at them with awe...

With each of their attacks, they cut down the enemy climbing the city like chopping vegetables, completely overwhelming them.

In the air, a few mighty dragons could be seen.

Though not yet matured, they already displayed a regal demeanor, assisting the elf companions in battle with their repeated breaths of Dragon Breath.

"Lord Optimist! Lord Optimist!"

Approaching the elves from behind, the Foreign Minister called out urgently.

Hearing his voice, the blood-soaked Optimist turned around, eyes lighting up:

"Lord Chaka?"

Chaka was the name of the Foreign Minister; he was also a Dwarf, having befriended Optimist and others long ago, thanks to an occasion after the last war where they drank in the tavern together.

Of course, this time Optimist and others were here on a mission to assist the Death Church in escorting divine artifacts, but unexpectedly encountered the outbreak of war as they passed through Blade City.

Encountering it, they decided to stay and help defend the city.

"Lord Optimist! The Chief wishes to meet with you all!"

Chaka said.

As he spoke, his gaze swept across the group, slightly surprised:

"Hmm? Lord Boxed Meal is not here?"

Optimist gave a wry smile:

"The captain hasn’t been well these past few days, hasn’t been... uh no, has been sleeping, still resting in the tavern now."

"So that’s it..."

Chaka nodded.

He knew Boxed Meal, a notably skilled Ranger among the Elf Clan.

Unfortunately, Boxed Meal wasn’t very talkative, so Chaka didn’t communicate much with him.

Of course, now was not the time to forge bonds with the elves.

Chaka moved aside to introduce to Brin:

"Chief, this is Lord Optimist, a powerful Golden Warrior!"

Brin nodded, and performed a salute of the Death Church to Optimist:

"Lord Optimist! Thank you all for your help!"

"It’s rightful, the Silent Alliance is our ally."

Optimist waved his hand, smiling.

Brin’s fondness for the elves increased instantly, he hesitated briefly, deciding to be direct:

"Lord Optimist, I’ve heard that elf Chosen Ones can communicate with the Elf Forest from anywhere, can you contact them?"

"The Shadow army of the Dark Alliance is vast... We’ve lost contact with other city-states and can only seek aid from the Elf Forest now!"

Since the Elf Clan captured the Death Desert, Blade City established trade with the nearby Sandstorm City. If the famed Chosen One army could deploy, the crisis at Blade City would surely be resolved.

Upon hearing Brin’s words, Optimist smiled slightly:

"Chief, rest assured, the Elf Forest is already aware of the Silent Alliance’s war, and the army is en route, likely arriving soon."

"This... so quickly?!"

Brin was slightly stunned, both surprised and pleased.

"Indeed, we’ve received the mission."

Optimist said.

With his words, Brin’s anxious heart finally settled...

Elf Chosen Ones are a unique presence, meticulous and always striving to complete accepted missions, regardless of the cost, never giving up. The most trustworthy mercenaries in Segis World!

Brin had no doubt.

And as if to verify his thoughts, soon after his discussion with Optimist, spreading tremors came from the back of the Shadow army.

There, in the direction of Sandstorm City.

These tremors quickly caught the attention of Brin and others, while Optimist chuckled:

"See, speak of the devil, and he appears."

With his words, a gap was torn open in the tight formation of the Shadow army, revealing elves shrouded in the brilliance of magic, strong and fierce Elf Knights came into Brin and others’ view...

They were the army formed by players, arriving from the direction of Sandstorm City.

Nowadays, the number of player descents had greatly increased. The presence of Sandstorm City enabled players to reach the battlefield quickly without needing long-distance teleportation arrays.

Participating in the mere Underground war was quite effortless.

This efficiency was unparalleled.

Seeing the fully armed, formidable elf army, the warriors defending Blade City cheered in a frenzy.

They knew the city was saved.

Invincible in attack, undefeated in battle.

Since the elf Chosen One arrived on the Segis World stage, their renowned reputation spread far and wide, from the Extreme Northern Icefield to the Southeast Barrier Reef, known by all.

As the earlier ally of the Elf Clan, the Silent Alliance and its city-states were well aware.

It’s worth mentioning, Eve had never concerned himself with this war.

His power has transformed tremendously, and players are not who they once were.

The power balance shifted in just a few years; the once-daunting Dark City State Alliance now posed no concern to him.

His greater concern lay with the happenings in the Netherworld now.

...

Beyond Segis World, at the junction of the Endless Abyss and the upper world.

Here was a plane vastly more expansive compared to other planes; it gleamed with profound dark light, as if affixed to the abyss.

This was the Netherworld.

A plane situated between the Abyss Plane and the upper planes, also the destination for the souls of countless non-believers and shallow believers after death in the Segis Universe.

Outside the Netherworld, the golden Triumph Stone Gate slowly opened, silver-blue radiance flickering gently, revealing the figure of Demon Wolf Fenrir here.

This time he was not merely an avatar, but his true form.

With Segis World sealed and severed from connection with the main god, only relying on Eva’s reverse portal could he arrive here so swiftly.

Beside him was Eva, who chose the True God Avatar to come.

"The Netherworld has been closed."

Gazing at the Netherworld’s dim surroundings, Eve raised an eyebrow, remarking.

The Netherworld had been closed, and it was from the inside, akin to the former Minder.

Likely, due to the Netherworld’s closure, Hela’s power got isolated.

However, the Dark City State Alliance manages to launch offensives, indicating the God of Darkness and Shadow’s power remained linked to Segis World.

Thus, it’s clear who closed the Netherworld.

Demon Wolf Fenrir also realized this.

His expression changed drastically:

"Impossible! How could the God of Darkness and Shadow control the entire Netherworld?!"

"We’ll know upon entering, perhaps... it may not be a bad thing."

Eve stated calmly.

After speaking, the reverse portal emitted light again, altering the scenes within the portal.

Beyond lay the interior of the Netherworld, coordinates Hela once left for Eve.

Without hesitation, Eve stepped inside.
