Chapter 595: Into the danger zone
The moment Janus and Agamenon’s teams reached the city’s walls, their eyes were drawn to a set of massive gates—more than ten meters tall—adorned with carvings of impressive, unfamiliar entities.
These creatures resembled dragons, but they lacked wings, and their bodies appeared far more muscular and robust. Some among the cultivators exchanged puzzled looks, trying to interpret the possible meaning behind these images. Most assumed these carvings represented the original inhabitants of the Land of the Three Calamities, yet no one was completely sure.
In contrast, the four Sky Seed Depravitas merely glanced at one another, the same strange thought running through each of their minds.

It was an odd revelation, to say the least. Despite the seriousness of their mission, a flicker of astonishment passed across their faces. Still, they could not let curiosity distract them for long. They all understood that every second was vital.
With that in mind, Vlad and Tyron stepped forward. As the teams’ Runic Masters, they shared a look of mutual understanding before giving each other a profound nod.
Carefully, they pressed their hands against the metallic doors, channeling energy into the ancient surface. Through their expertise in Runic Arts, they sought to reveal the arrays carved into the doors. Within seconds, countless runic lines flickered to life, spreading across the metal in all directions. The lines intertwined so intricately and bizarrely that several onlookers felt a wave of nausea just trying to follow their patterns.
"I will neutralize the energy patterns."
"And I will unravel the key."
