"I could’ve easily roaned He struggled out of Garen’s grasp and took a few cluht Despite his face looking a little pale, he seeained his ive a da until they reached the needle barriers where they encountered the sprites earlier

Now they could only see the corpses of the two sprites, their bodies nicely sliced through the waist like the giant sprite earlier

Garen knelt down beside the corpses and gently picked up one half of a sprite’s corpse

As he touched it, the corpse instantly disintegrated into black dust all over the floor, leaving only its wings Each sprite had two pairs of locust like wings, Garen thought for ait, he quickly stood up and left

By this time, the bearded man was nowhere to be found

"This ancient ruin doesn’t look dangerous at all!" Garen said to hi onto his shoulders

"The biggest probleiant sprite, but since Duskdun Shura and Flao took care of that for us, we should be set If you tried coht’ve been a different story"

"So why did you come here? Don’t tellmuch really, it’s just that I’ve read about the ancient ruins for the longest time, and I really didn’t want to miss the opportunity to see one for s like the sprites, and not to o’s neord"

"You’re right, if you hadn’t seen it for yourself, ould’ve believed that Flarateful as well

The two of them continued to rush ahead, the corridor see didn’t slow them down at all

"But why aren’t the others anyhow interested in the sprites?" Garen was baffled, "And why did they leave so quickly?"

Suddenly his eyes opened wider than before, as if he just had an epiphany, and Celine too did the same, they both looked at each other

"THE RUINS MUST BE A TRAP!" Celine yelled

Without another thought or word, the duo sped up and sprinted even faster towards the exit

With Beo in one hand, and the Golden Sword Throne in the other, Garen felt a cold breeze co from the Golden Sword Throne, it made him feel incredibly uneasy The process of which he obtained the relic key ay too easy, froade, to all the traps and obstacles being re able to pick up the Golden Sword Throne without the slightest effort It was all too fishy The members of the Immortal Alliance are never this friendly, it see the relic key to Garen

"I hope nothing bad happens"

Very soon, Celine and Garenroom

WHOOSH

Just as they entered, they saw Duskdune Shura and Flao held onto the glowing Sword of the Sprites firht red, and he stared sternly at the other side of the living room It wasn’t just him, but there was Duskdune Shura, the bearded ins

Everyone was spread apart, staring at a shadow in theroom

"Five more minutes until the ancient ruins collapses! We do not have tiht all not make it out!" Duskdune Shura was the first to notice Garen’s trio arrive

"What’s going on?!" Garen turned his gaze to the shadowed figure in the ht of a hureen scales all over and the looks of a sprite Except that this one didn’t have any wings, and ielding a green equivalent of the Sword of the Sprites

By the looks of everyone, it see fellow

As if he could make out the puzzled look on Garen’s face, Duskdune Shura explained, "Originally I was confident I would be able to fight these daot injured by those rascals earlier, noe can only face this ourselves"

CLANG!!!

Duskdune Shura took a backstep, evading the slash fro round

BANG BANG!

After two loud gunshots, the sprite got shot in the head, and its body disintegrated intowhoever they find in their path

Garen tried to keep his calh his hardened skin, if he doesn’t pay attention he ht lose it

"Now I’ve achieved my objective, I’ve acquired the Golden Sword Throne, there’s no need for me to be involved in this; I should find a way out as soon as possible"

He turned his gaze to where the exit stairs would’ve been What eird, was that there was no door now, it was as if the exit never existed in the first place

During this short time, Duskdune Shura swept his palo followed in sync and slashed them into four clean pieces Their actions drew the attention ofhis dagger around blocking the attacks of the sprites His face was a pale white, his arms were also numb from the continuous attacks, but suddenly he had an epiphany, and pulled out a black grenade

"Fuck this! If I’ether!" He pulled out the safety ring and threw the grenade to the o rapidly retreated to the corner of the roo new red curves in the air, slicing every sprite around hi some sort of a half circle defense line between the two of them

The two of them noticed the bearded man’s action, but they stood unfazed, and only sot in that were shocked, one of theun and aimed it at the bearded man, but it was too late

"You’re insane!" Celine was the first to notice this, and quickly ducked to hide behind Garen

Using a grenade in a crowded and tight room like this, even the shockwave alone will be able to cause serious da everyone doith hirenade, he took a deep breath and expanded his entire body, before he reached his maximum expansion, he pulled Beo and Celine behind him
