Chapter 208: Chapter 208
The armoured woman, the blue-haired female soldier and Sydney finally arrived at the third underground floor of the hidden bunker. “Urgh”, Sydney held her nose, “This smell is so pungent” she furrowed her eyebrows. “I agree”, the blue-haired female soldier nodded in agreement, “It smelled like a rotten chicken in here.” The armoured woman led the duo even further in, “All the more reason we need to hasten our pace.” After that, the armoured woman, the blue-haired female soldier and Sydney explored the third underground floor of the bunker.
“Why are there so many foul things in here?” Sydney squinted her eyes. The armoured woman and the blue-haired female soldier’s expressions became serious, “Be careful. Now I know why this pungent smell felt familiar”, the armoured woman warned. “Familiar? Come to think of it, it does smell familiar”, the blue-haired female soldier furrowed her eyebrows. “Do you remember our mission in Sylphid City’s sewer, Amy?” the armoured woman raised her eyebrows. “Undeads!?” the blue-haired female soldier gasped. The armoured woman nodded, “Yes. And not only that, but the feeling I get from this place right now is eerily similar to the sewer mission.” Sydney’s body tensed up, “There were undead in the sewers?”
The armoured woman nodded, “A few years ago, our team received a mission to investigate the sewers from the higher-ups. Come to think of it, those same higher-ups were the ones that gave us the mission to go towards Sylphid Academy.” The blue-haired female soldier’s expression sour, “You mean—” The armoured woman hummed, “Yes, we are being set up. The higher-ups and this enemy of ours right now are colluding with each other.” The blue-haired female soldier and Sydney gasped at the same time. Then, the blue-haired female soldier looked at the armoured woman’s calm demeanour, “Judging from your attitude, big sis, you already knew of this, huh.”
“Yes”, the armoured woman heavily nodded, “Principal Helga informed me the day we came to Sylphid Academy. Apparently, my husband knew for years of this and did not tell me”, she spoke with a sombre tone. “Big brother Alex knew…” the blue-haired female soldier lowered her head. The armoured woman patted the blue-haired female soldier’s tiny head, “Don’t be so down. Right now, we need to focus on our task at hand.” The blue-haired female soldier raised her little head, and with a beaming smile, she replied, “Yes, ma’am.” After a brief exchange of words between the trio, they continued to traverse their way.
“What the hell is this thing!?” the blue-haired female soldier exclaimed as she saw a corpse of a large, undead monstrous creature. Sydney walked closer towards the large corpse of the undead monstrous creature, slowly touching it with her hand, “This thing is powerful”, she said as she could feel the remains of power from her touch. “So, after defeating the giant monster upstairs, they defeated this giant behemoth”, the armoured woman rubbed her chin, “How strong are they?” she pondered. Then, the armoured woman left the vicinities of the corpse and led the blue-haired female soldier and Sydney into a giant door.
The trio came across a large oval room with stairs right at the opposite end of the room. “Well, this floor is straightforward”, Sydney commented. However, just as the trio walked right into the centre of the room, something barged through the large door. The armoured woman, the blue-haired female soldier and Sydney turned back, “Dear Vaizeu”, the blue-haired female soldier exclaimed as she watched the previous large, undead monstrous creature forcefully enter the room while holding a broken down bone blade. “Both of you, get ready!” the armoured woman rallied as she unsheathed her sword.
“Roar!” the large, undead monstrous creature let out a powerful roar, shaking the entire oval room. But, the armoured woman, the blue-haired female soldier and Sydney were unflinching by the large, undead monstrous creature’s roar. Before the large, undead monstrous creature managed to move, Sydney leapt forward. “Take this!” Sydney coated her blade with her golden-coloured aura, aiming for the large, undead monstrous creature’s neck. The large, undead monstrous creature placed its broken down large bone blade in the way of Sydney’s attack, making her flip in the air and change her attack target.
Sydney managed to slice the large, undead monstrous creature’s flesh on its stomach. Right after that, the blue-haired female soldier followed up with a multiple casting of ice spears that managed to pierce the large, undead monstrous creature’s entire body. “Roar!” the large, undead monstrous creature let out a bestial cry, causing the ice spears on its body to fall to the ground. After that, the large, undead monstrous creature swung its large, broken-down bone blade down towards the blue-haired female soldier. The armoured woman swiftly ran in front of the blue-haired female soldier before she softly chanted, “Ice.” Then, the armoured woman’s sword was coated with flames, and when the large, undead monstrous creature’s blade clashed with the armoured woman’s sword, it froze for a second.
That time was enough for the blue-haired female soldier to distance herself from the large, undead monstrous creature. The large, undead monstrous creature hurriedly pulled back its large bone blade, shattering the ice that enveloped its blade. Then, the armoured woman spun her sword in front of her as she softly chanted, “Lightning.” Bolts of lightning surrounded the armoured woman’s sword, crackling in the space around it. The armoured woman gripped her sword tightly as she leapt forward towards the large, undead monstrous creature. The armoured woman brandished her magic-infused sword at the large, undead monstrous creature.
Then, the armoured woman swiped her sword in the air. The lightning around the armoured woman’s sword stayed, but its colour became reddish. “Aargh!” the armoured woman let out a battle cry as she swung her sword towards the large, undead monstrous creature. The latter did not stay idle, however, as the large, undead monstrous creature raised its large bone blade to block the armoured woman’s sword. As the armoured woman’s magic-infused sword and the large, undead monstrous creature’s blade met, the red lightning around the armoured woman’s sword struck the large, undead monstrous creature.
The red lightning gnawed the large, undead monstrous creature’s flesh. After that, the large, undead monstrous creature’s flesh that was gnawed by the red lightning started burning, breaking apart from the large, undead monstrous creature’s body. “Argh!” The large, undead monstrous creature screamed in pain, but the trio was not done just yet. Sydney was rushing towards the large, undead monstrous creature with her golden-coloured aura surrounding her body. Then Sydney sliced the large, undead monstrous creature’s ankle, making the large, undead monstrous creature knelt down. Right after that, the blue-haired female soldier chanted, then four magic circles with different colours appeared above her.
Fire, ice, wind and earth mana gathered around the blue-haired female soldier, indicated by the colours of each magic circle above the blue-haired female soldier. “Take this!” the blue-haired female soldier waved her wand. Then, a large fireball, a large ice spear, a big wind blade and a huge earth spike emerged from the blue-haired female soldier’s four different coloured magic circles. The large fireball hit the large, undead monstrous creature first, followed by the ice spear and the earth spike that pierced the large, undead monstrous creature’s shoulders. Then, the large, undead monstrous creature watched in horror as the huge wind blade was coming fast at him. The blue-haired female soldier’s giant wind blade managed to cut the large, undead monstrous creature’s body into two before the armoured woman swung her sword, coated with flames, at the two severed bodies.
The armoured woman’s flame sword burned the remains of the large, undead monstrous creature, completely killing it. Sydney sheathed her blade before clenching her fist, “How’s that!” her lips curled up into a wide smile. “Let’s go”, the armoured woman turned her body, “We need to hurry up.” Sydney and the blue-haired female soldier nodded at the same time, “Yes, ma’am”, as the two followed the armoured woman down the stairs.

A few minutes ago, while the armoured woman, the blue-haired female soldier and Sydney were fighting the large, undead monstrous creature, Eru was still meditating. Raven-coloured aura was emitted from Eru’s body as his power slowly raised little by little. The potion that Long fed Eru earlier had completely showed its effect. Although the green potion could not let Eru recover to his full strength, it allowed Eru to recover from the after-effects of the Eruken and the Dragon Force Technique. In this meditation, not only was Eru trying to gather his own aura, but he also tried to familiarize himself with the Fate Energies that were abundant near him.
Occasionally, instead of just a raven-coloured aura that comes out from Eru’s body, a golden-coloured hue could be seen enveloping Eru’s body, hugging him with love and care. Eru slightly opened his eyes when he felt that he could control the Fate Energy around him. “So this is Fate Energy, huh?” Eru examined himself. “It felt different from mana and aura. Whereas mana and aura felt violent like an untamed animal that needs to be controlled, wielding Fate Energy is like moving your own body. It is more gentle yet a powerful one”, Eru pondered to himself. After that, Eru continued to close his eyes, going back to meditating. After a while, Eru suddenly opened his eyes. He furrowed his eyebrows before unsheathing his black sword, gripping it tightly in his hand. “Who’s there?”
