Chapter 591: Sage Tier Elementals
"BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!"
The first thing Vlad heard upon reaching the secret plane was a massive explosion. His body tensed, and his energy surged as he instinctively prepared for battle, thinking they were under attack. However, he quickly realized that it was not a spell but a lightning bolt that had fallen from the sky.
That did not mean they were safe. More and more lightning bolts rained down, tearing through the air with deafening roars. The sky was covered in endless storm clouds, swirling ominously above. Normally, lightning bolts were not something that Sages had to worry about, but these were different. The power contained within them matched that of a weak Sage Spell!
Vlad frowned as he gazed at the turbulent sky, wondering if these storms were some sort of protective measure created by the organization that had forged this secret plane or if there was another, more sinister force at play. However, he did not have the luxury of pondering over such mysteries for long, as Agamenon suddenly sent out a signal, summoning everyone to his side.
Although Vlad was used to taking command in these kinds of situations, he had come here as a soldier and a Runic Master, not as a leader. So, without hesitation, he moved swiftly to Agamenon’s side, joining the other Sky Seed Depravitas. The other leaders did the same, grouping their forces accordingly. As the formations took shape, the eyes of Janus and Agamenon sharpened with recognition.
The duo stood together with their men, an expected sight given their relationship and familial ties. However, what caught their attention was that Valeria, Scipius, and Cato, who usually acted independently, had formed an alliance. They moved almost as if they were a single force, an unusual and unexpected display of unity.
It did not take a genius to figure out that this behavior was due to Decimus’s presence. The Zanis Family was filthy rich—wealthy enough to buy the loyalty of both Scipius and Cato.
The Sky Seed Depravitas and the rest of Janus and Agamenon’s teams also took note of this alliance, and solemn expressions arose among them since this was not a good development for them. None of them deluded themselves into thinking this expedition would be peaceful. Even if they found treasure before anyone else, keeping it was a different challenge altogether. Finding a treasure was one thing; having the strength to hold it was another.
"First things first. We must reach the base of the organization," Janus declared.
