Chapter 997

Cersei, Soleil and the Shade managed to land safely without much detection. Some of the mages that were protecting the area flew away as a response to the attack that Adrian did. They are thankful that his attention gathering plan is very useful as they did not need to fight numerous opponents.

Cersei suddenly summoned a dark looking book with a devil on the cover. She then proceeded to chant a few words and those words became silent whispers to the ears of the two remaining mages. When the two remaining mages heard what she whispered to them, they immediately became sluggish and started to slowly fall asleep. It only took five seconds for the two mages to get knocked out.

"Wow! Big sister is amazing!" Soleil praised as she thought of fighting those two mages.

"We do not need to waste our time on them. Something must be happening down there because they will not have mages stationed here if it were not." Cersei stated.

She knew for a fact that the thing that they were heading towards must be pretty important. In fact, there might be more guards that will show up when they are down there.

"How is the dragon going inside the though? He is pretty big to fit in that small entrance." Cersei stated as she waved her hand to destroy the illusion covering the entrance.

'

"No problem." Kanlaon stated which surprised Cersei.

Kanlaon then slowly put them down as he emitted a golden smoke. From that golden smoke, a ten-year-old boy wearing regal purple robes with golden hair appeared before them. He had the temperament of a royal prince and six dragon balls floating beside him that is the size of a baseball.

"Let me open the door then." The Shade stated as he is determined to lead them.

The Shade touched the door, but a protection mechanism activated as a special key is needed to open the door. When the Shade touched the door, a barrier pushed him back as he did not have the key. Cersei casted a few spells as well but it only weakened the barrier instead of making it disappear.

"I guess I am up. Let us go Regulus!" Soleil stated as she tossed her stuffed toy.

Regulus that is supposed to usually bigger than a house transformed into a two meter tall flaming lion instead. It seems that Soleil has achieved great mastery over her abilities. Regulus then covered its body in flames and slammed the door which destroyed the weakened barrier.

Since they have Kanlaon near them, any elemental attacks that they do will be boosted. This resulted in Regulus' attack become much more powerful than before. The group is greeted by a dark alleyway that is sizable enough for three people to walk at the same time.

Regulus returned to Soleil's arms while Cersei has a look of disbelief in her face. She did not expect that a cute and small child will be someone that could kill players easily with a stuffed toy. The Shade immediately used Dark Veil when all of them entered the tunnel as it is dark inside.

The Shade is the one that led them as they do not have perfect vision in the dark. Soleil needed to stop her flames as well so that they will be perfectly concealed. They did not want to encounter an enemy or any unnecessary fights because they needed to save Vayu. The tunnel did not wind long as they reached the other side in just fifty meters.

Soleil could then feel the essence of an elemental at the end of the tunnel. She told them that her father might be at the end of the tunnel. All of them got ready for combat as they did not know what they will expect at the end.

They reached the end of the tunnel only to be greeted by numerous prison cells that held different people. It seems that the prison cells are made to specifically hold them as barrier magic is made to maintain the prison. They could also feel that the mana from the prisoners is getting sucked out of them.

In one of the prison cells, Vayu is being held using a special barrier that does not let the wind elemental energy near him. He is also chained using special means so that he cannot muster any physical strength to destroy the barrier.

"It seems this prison is connected to someone. This is basically a Mana Plant where a wizard will use slaves or captives to continuously draw mana from them. This practice has been banned because it is inhumane but to think that I would see one." Cersei stated as all her information is told by her contracted Devil God.

"Someone is here." Kanlaon stated which made everyone stop talking. They might be hidden visually but they are not hidden audibly.

Heavy footsteps could be heard in the room, and chains being dragged as well. They suddenly looked at the other entrance to this prison as that is the source of the sound. They saw a humanoid figure entering the room, but it was not human.

The humanoid figure has reddish tint skin while having four arms that are all bound by a metal board connected to its neck. The humanoid figure also stood at a height of three meters while its eyes are just pure white as if it is a mindless servant.

The four armed humanoid could be seen dragging a huge cart filled with food. The four armed humanoid would then throw pieces of bread to the prisoners. The prisoners that received the bread ate it like starved animals as their mana was taken just moments ago and their bodies are weakening.

"What is that?" Cersei asked Vepar.

"That is actually a Tiny Titan. An offshoot of the titan race that should be hundreds of meters tall. It is said that the Tiny Titans are a result of using titan blood on a homunculus. To think that one is still alive to this date." Vepar replied.
