Chapter 448 446:The Dark Shadow Rises

Alex stared at the corpse which was breathing a moment ago with a baffled expression.

Witnessing Alex's expression, Noah walked back toward Alex and asked"Did you get anything out of him?"

"Nothing sort of grand but he seemed to mutter the name of the organisation."

"He said we will suffer the wrath of Omen."

Noah heard Alex's words and muttered"What an ominous name?"

Alex got up and tilted his gaze towards the door.

Beyond it, loud shrieks and howls echoed in the place.

A bloody battle was ensuing beyond that wall.

"Should we leave some people behind and ask them to search around for information?"Noah asked.

"No," Alex refuted and spoke.

"We cannot do that. We know nothing about the opponents nor do we know their number. What if the knights are attacked and killed by a group after we leave?"

"We will stick together until we get rid of everyone and conduct our search after that."

Noah nodded at Alex's words and asked to regroup while Alex marched forward.

Passing the door, he saw another passage which had been dyed with blood.

Cut pieces of limbs and organs scattered through the path which was quite a nauseating sight for many and at the front, a man charged at the enemy like a butcher cutting the enemies before him into pieces.

"He is enjoying himself."Alex chuckled and decided to join the party.

The monstrous men panicked after witnessing Wilford taking charge of them and some due to being afraid even threw weapons at him.

Wilford glanced at them casually as he could easily deal with them but Alex appeared before him and struck the weapons away.

"Sir Wilford, these weapons are cursed so don't take this lightly," Alex warned with a serious tone.

Wilford frowned and looked at the weapon carefully and felt the sinister aura from it.

Noah along with other men appeared behind them while Alex and Wilford finished the front.

It didn't take too long for them to butcher the entire group of people.

Dyeing the place in blood, they walked ahead again.

Alex then took the lead and guided them following the leader's mana signature.

They were led to another narrow cave and as soon as they entered the cave, the things that Alex was concerned about the most finally appeared.

Whoosh!

Alex swung his sword. His mana infused sword sliced the target flying towards him.

POP!

The target was cut into two halves and it exploded in front of him.Dark energy floated in the air and disappeared when Alex waved his hand.

"Did you feel it?"Alex asked.

"Their presence is quite faint.If one isn't experienced enough or is slightly negligent, he would be in trouble."Wilford spoke in a grim tone.

Since Alex was going to take charge, he had narrated in detail the things that they might encounter here.

Vermouth and Wilford knew about all of this but Noah and his brother kept hidden about the things as it was quite an important matter.

When Noah came to know about their existence, he was bewildered beyond his wildest dream.

"This is where the real battle starts. These beings aren't strong but they are surely deadly.We will soon reach the end so we might face a lot of sneak attacks from now on.''Alex warned everyone and asked them to stay alert and raise their guard.

As they moved further, more dark beings like the one that Alex just exterminated began squirming towards him.

They looked gross and bizarre. It was as if a shadow rose from the ground and we were moving towards them trying to catch their route of retreat.

The beings that rose from the ground clearly didn't have any particular shape and looked like a moving clump of darkness. However, all of them roughly had an outline.

There were some who had four prominent parts sticking out so they looked like humans.

Some were crawling on all four, some were walking like humans while their hands took the shape of various types of weapons while some were lumpy and small like animals running around.

Even if most of them were squirming around while not noticing the intruder's presence, a couple of them were able to spot them and like wild voracious beasts, they screamed and pounced on them.

The knights attack them and burst the shadow of beings that were coming towards them.

Swoosh!Swoosh!

"It's easy to take them out."The knight murmured with arrogance but at the next moment a whip shot out from the one which startled him and the sharp end of the whip pierced through his shoulder.

"Arghhh!"He groaned in pain but swung his sword and cut through it.

Alex noticed the grave injury of the man and casted a healing spell while giving an earful"Are you a small kid?"

"Didn't I say not to be careless around them? They may appear intangible and weak but can cause deadly damage."

BOOM!

A fireball crashed into them while throwing many at bay but at the same time, it also attracted many shadow creature attention.

"They are just endless," Noah spoke and hit his staff on the ground after chanting the spell.

A huge magical circle appeared before him and spewed out flames like the wrath of dragons.

"That's also one of their strengths," Alex spoke while puffing his chest.

"What the hell? Why are you being proud in this situation?"Noah retorted, causing Alex to glare at him.

The cave squirming with shadow creatures from top to bottom was burnt by the flames into ashes.

Those bodies which caught fire started to burst one after another emanating a dark mist.

When the flames dispersed heavy and thick smoke lingered along with dark mist that seemed to be mixing with the smoke and dissolving in the air which made them suffocate.

Noah whipped his staff blew the air and pushed them away towards the entrance only to see more shadow creatures in that place.
