Chapter 233: Another World

Solomon looked at the map on his table, then pointed at a few areas, "Move our people here to another place to bolster their defense.""But Sir, if we do that, that means the other city."

"There is nothing more we can do.

We have limited resources. Even if I don't take Olivia and Quartz, it's only two extra hunters; we all know it won't change things in the big picture."

Solmon said with stern tone, but his gaze were complicated. This mean there will be even more refuge.

"How about those filth? Any movement?"

"Hellgate was attacked by the Obsidian Order and Veil of Midnight; as for the reason, we don't know yet."

"Hmph. They reap what they sow, probably failed an important mission then lost their backer. Those humanity traitors," Solomon said with a displeased tone.

"What about Luca's team? Should we do something?" Searᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Except you or I go there, no other hunter will help. You know where all our real elite are now."

The secretary's eyes turned sharp, and then she said in a determined voice, "No, I won't leave you."

Solomon let out a sigh, "I already told you it's not your fault."

But the secretary ignored his words, then continued briefing him on the next agenda.

Back in the underwater world, Alex and MingYue had now reached halfway through their journey.

Their force also kept growing; from one turtle they rode, now there are five other leviathan-class creatures swimming beside them.

Two creatures looked like sharks with long bodies, while the other three were turtles with some minor differences.

Their shells were not filled with spikes. Instead, they were bigger and more dense, making them more suitable for defense.

They were now inside one of the spikes. Vesa carved some space runes, making the size bigger, and Alex imbued it with a protection array.

While doing this, Vesa started teaching Alex how to use runes.

"King, runes in essence are not much different from arrays. The only difference is the circuit allows us to imbue it with life force," Vesa explained as it used its wing to point at some part of the formation.

Alex focused his attention on this, not wanting to miss out.

Despite what Vesa said about enabling the formation to use life force, Alex needed to change the core formation to make sure it still worked as intended. It wasn't that simple.

MingYue sat on the couch looking at them with a smile. She found it funny as their interaction reminded her of how she taught MingHao in the past.

She then turned her gaze toward a TV screen that showed what was happening outside.

Despite the change of depth, the area didn't change much. Only it had more plant variety as the creatures became more and more sparse.

She also saw most of the creatures seemed to be hiding under the seabed.

Many of the plants had something that was glowing on their parts; it looked like a fruit, but based on the information they got from the beast, the plant was not that simple.

If they got close, it would start attacking them. It's not weird as the sun barely reached this depth, making the plants need to find another source of nutrients.

When they reached six thousand meters, approximately 19,685 feet or about 3.728 miles, things started to change.

The beasts stopped in their tracks, not daring to move forward.

To move forward, they needed to enter through a crater. The size was big enough for all of them to enter, but something deterred them from moving forward.

Usually, none of the beasts would dare to enter this spot.

But since they were now bound to Alex and MingYue, they had no choice in the matter.

Despite their instincts, the group made its way downward. As they swam, the area started to change drastically.

First, the water pressure rose many times over to the point that it started hurting the shark leviathans.

This made Alex order them to stay on guard outside. They then stopped going deeper when they met with something like a barrier.

It gave out a bright light, and it felt like seeing a huge pearl.

"Any idea, Vesa?" Alex asked.

They needed a way to enter it undetected if possible since they didn't know what kind of enemy they would face inside.

"I have a way, but it will require much of my energy; afterward, I will need to sleep, so both of you will be alone for a few days."

Alex and MingYue looked at each other and then nodded. It was better than forcefully entering inside.

Even without Vesa, they would still be able to fend for themselves.

The worst thing is that they would just lose the map function. As for emotions, Alex could use his ability to detect whether they were lying or not.

"Alright, King, Queen, follow me."

Alex and MingYue then got out from the turtle and started swimming near the pearl-like barrier.

Vesa turned into a red fog that covered both of them. Alex and MingYue's view then turned red. The next moment, they found themselves inside the pearl.

As Vesa's voice appeared in front of them,

[I wish you luck, King Alex, Queen Mingyue]

Fresh air started blowing at their faces, and to their surprise, they found themselves high in the sky, falling to the ground.

They tried to use their qi, but it was like something in the atmosphere was pressing against them, making them unable to use it outside their bodies.

Thankfully, they had other energy life force. By mixing it with their qi, it canceled out the pressure, allowing them to float, slowing down their descent.

As they were dropping, they took the time to observe the area.

They could see a village a distance away. And they could feel rich life energies surrounding them.

"MingYue, I remember Vesa said Alucard's part in this place is not a lot, but with this much energy, don't we have a higher percentage?"
