Chapter 827 Sewers in the Ruins

Metatron Khan said, "I was completely unaware of the Guardian's displeasure."

Raphael said, "But if it was the guardian deity who intervened, how do you explain that little animal from earlier?"

Sariel grew impatient: "I refuse to believe that this maze can trap me!"

As he spoke, he immediately pulled out the super artifact, the Sword of Darkmorius, and slashed it down at the sewer ceiling!
Mars scattered and space trembled, and Sariel's name instantly turned yellow!
System notification: Warning! You are suspected of damaging the public drainage and public transportation facilities in Bronze City and will be charged with the crime of damaging public facilities!

Michael was shocked: "Calm down! Stop!"

Gabriel exclaimed, "Don't try to fool the Emperor! Once you're arrested and even just detained, you'll end up like Metatron—detained forever!"

Sariel panicked: "What should we do? This person is deliberately trapping me to cause trouble for the mermaid!"

Michael said in a deep voice, "Calm down. The mermaid hasn't done anything yet. You should slowly find a way to solve the maze."

Gabriel said, "Perhaps that little animal is the key. Let's find it first."

Metatron said, "I'll immediately contact my subordinates at Bronze City to go into the sewers and see if we can get them to come from the outside..."

Just then, a big commotion broke out at the Gem City monitoring and command center where Raphael was located.

"Marquis Guaido has arrived!"

Raphael's heart tightened: "That fat pig has finally arrived!"

Sariel sighed, "Raphael, I can't help you for now."

Raphael sneered, "I'd like to see how the Emperor plans to capture me."

A round, pumpkin-shaped, bespectacled fat man kicked open the command post door with his cane and started cursing: "You bunch of useless trash! I've lost the industries of 20 pioneering villages in less than a morning, and you haven't done a single thing? Don't forget who invested in you!"

Eve then woke up from her nap on the sofa, got up, and greeted him, "Greetings, Your Excellency Marquis!"

Facing the beautiful woman, Guaido showed no mercy, directly pressing his cane against Eve's nose: "And you, the genius city flower, right? Don't forget, I supported your father's business and your studies. I also forgave you for the flood last time—"

Raphael was already furious about the last flood, and now seeing this fat pig so arrogant towards his precious son, he instantly exploded: "Marquis, watch your words and actions! Etiquette!!"

Michael urged urgently, "Raphael, calm down!"

The Marquis laughed in anger: "Sage! Watch your words and actions! Your manners! You should know who I am? Imperial Inspector! You think those 20 villages are my property? No, they are the property of the Empire!"

Raphael had to calm down instantly: "I'll set off immediately to capture the murderer."

The Marquis said in a deep voice, "I'll give you one day. I need results within one day, whether they're good or bad."

Eve added, "I will assist the Sage's investigation. So, Sage, let's set off immediately..."

Raphael was utterly furious: "One day? You want me to deal with the Millennium Guild Master? I don't even know where he is right now!"

Michael said in a deep voice, "Don't panic, a day is enough time for us to figure something out..."

...At this moment, Moore also realized something was wrong. He had been walking through a crevice, but suddenly the scene shifted to the sewers. Moore continued to escape, but the scene kept shifting back and forth, the transitions so smooth that it was as if he had suddenly stepped from the wilderness into the Dragon's Rest Temple.

"Brother Tao, Zhou Qing, am I stuck in a maze?"

Zhou Qing exclaimed in astonishment, "It seems there's a lot of commotion in the sewers. The Ten Elders' gang on the street is also heading into the sewers. They're trapped too!"

Moore was stunned: "What should we do then? Should we ask Chun Ge?"

Zhou Qing: "I'll ask right away!"

……

Da Chun saw the city announcement about Sariel's slaying of the Bat King, which further stirred his nostalgia for the game's launch. At the same time, he couldn't help but marvel once again at the sheer power of the Ten Elders. The Bat King had only appeared for four minutes, and Da Chun's search and attack were practically instantaneous.

Speaking of Libnashi, she was still a high-ranking Beelzebub lurking in the Golden Throne, yet she was instantly killed by Michael's divine artifact, the Sewers. With my current firepower, I probably couldn't achieve that kind of instantaneous burst...

The phone rang again; it was Zhou Qing sending a video: "Brother Chun, Moore is in trouble. He and Sariel seem to be trapped in a maze-like space in the sewers. They can't find their way out no matter what they do. What should we do?"

Da Chun's heart skipped a beat. Metatron was captured, and Sariel was imprisoned? So the Emperor was going to take action against my mermaid?
Da Chun was a little confused: "I'll study the video. I'll make sure Moore is well hidden so that he won't be caught by the Ten Elders. The Ten Elders will be even more anxious and will find a way."

"Alright."

The first thing Da Chun did was contact Eileen: "Darling, the Silver Sage has been captured. Use the Lighthouse to contact the Mermaid, or the Magic Mirror to contact Xiao Mei, whichever is more convenient. Tell the Mermaid to be careful, the Emperor might be against her."

Ellen said, "If we get in touch, should we have her head to Black Iron City immediately? Anyway, Black Iron City has the Council of Guardians to look after us. I'll also contact Bellena; she can help us too."

"Alright!"

The mermaid's sudden departure from Silver City must have surprised the Ten Elders, right? But since Sariel is trapped, any unusual behavior from the mermaid is reasonable.

Da Chun began watching the video. This spatial transformation was completely seamless; this must be the law of the Creator God, right? He was certain it was the Emperor.

The only solution I can think of right now is to restore the alt account to full strength after it has rested, putting maximum pressure on the Empire.

Just then, a downward-reaching vine finally found a manhole cover. Over a thousand years, the cover had been bent and deformed, revealing a crack filled with sand and dust.

The vines crawled into the crevices and emerged from the piled-up sand, revealing a hollow sewer space that was not buried by the sand. However, Da Chun was shocked to find that the space was not completely dry and was still a little damp.

It's a water stain?! As long as there's water...

Da Chun suddenly thought of the bats from earlier, and the various hidden bosses in the sewers. Could there be such bosses in this old version of the city sewers?
Anyway, there's plenty of demonic blood now, more than we can absorb, so let's pour some into the sewers. In a normal sewer, a little blood probably wouldn't have any effect, but this is a parched desert! As for what to do if we actually find it, that's a problem. If it's a bat, maybe Ellen can communicate with it? If it's a thousand-year-old spirit, maybe it knows where to find wine?
As he pondered this, Da Chun began to channel demonic blood towards this place.

Just as the demonic blood was dripping, Da Chun actually heard a strange sound coming from the sewer.

Holy crap, it really exists!
Da Chun immediately stopped bleeding, and the vines also shrank back into the sand, leaving only the tip of the vine exposed.

A moment later, a sliver of bright light appeared in the dark sewer.

The dynamic movement of this fluttering, the colors?
As it drew closer, thanks to its light, Da Chun could finally see clearly—holy crap! It was a giant crystal bat! The same kind as the one he encountered in the water dungeon when the game first launched!
