After single-handedly beating back the dozen or so Elites that were trying to hold him back, Perseus decided to end this time-wasting charade by using one of his strongest attacks.
[ Ocean's Wrath ]
Concentrating a lot of mana into his sword, Perseus unleashed a sword strike powerful enough to slice half of the second floor prison in half, which came off his sword and took on the form of a massive tsunami wave.
Trying to block the attack were 12 washed up Elites that were panting and tired.
The 12 of them had tried their hardest to beat back Perseus, however, even the combined might of them all was unfortunately not enough to beat Perseus, as the Olympian was simply too strong.
"Get back!" AceKing said, as he tried to counter Perseus's strike with one of his own as he used one of his strongest moves, [ Falcon Slash ] in response, however, compared to Perseus, his attack was vastly lacking in power, as upon collision, it was destroyed easily.
*Kugh*
AceKing spat a mouthful of blood as Perseus's strike crashed into his abdomen, sending him flying backwards into his men, who were also swept away by the impact.
*Tok*
*Tok*
*Tok*
Perseus walked over the unconscious and heavily injured bodies of the Elites with suave, and as a victorious champion, as he sheathed his sword and continued on his pursuit of Rocky, who had already cleared the second floor of the prison and descended into the third level.
"You boys tried your best... be proud that you could keep a demi-god engaged for 15 whole minutes.
However, your desire to kill me was simply outrageous..... For you are not worthy enough to scratch a hair on my head" Perseus said, as he stomped on the unconscious AceKing's head before walking away.
*********
The Elites accompanying Rocky, had to fight tooth and nail against each opponent, with powerful spells and attacks being unleashed on both sides.
"Mama Chun, just cover us while we bust open these cells..." Rocky said, as he urged Erin to bust open the first cell door.
Unlike the cells on the floor above, where prisoners could be seen from the outside through barred gates, the cells on the third floor were made of solid steel with no peeping holes. This meant Rocky had to bust open each cell to check if Riva was inside or not, which made it a possibility for him to open the wrong cell door.
[ Curse Magic : Lock Explosion ]
Using curse magic multiple times, Erin busted the 7 locks securing the first prison gate individually, as it took him a considerable amount of mana and effort to open just a single gate.
*Creek*
*THUD*
The massive prison gate fell with a heavy thud, revealing the prisoner inside who was chained and gagged to the prison wall.
The prisoner looked to be humanoid, however, his skin was ash gray in color instead of wheat and his pupils were black instead of white.
By his looks, he seemed to be no older than 18 or 19, yet his eyes seemed as fatigued as a 50 year old.
Although his prison door was busted open, putting him in front of complete strangers, the man did not once scream or beg for help through his gag, as he just kept looking into Rocky's eyes as a dignified gentleman, and waited to see if Rocky would help him or not.
"Erin, bust him out–" Rocky said, as although it wasn't his intention to free any prisoner from this level who was not Riva, there was something about the intense look in this man's eyes that made Rocky make an exception to bust him out.
"Alright" Erin said, as he started working on the man's restraints, unchaining him, one limb at a time.
While Erin did this, the man still kept making unwavering eye contact with Rocky, as if trying to discern something deeper than what met the common man's eye.
Something that made Rocky's stomach turn in discomfort.
