Rhys, Kael, and Varyn finally rejoined the strongest adventurers from the True Elites after they finished eliminating the Olympus soldiers trapped beneath the collapsed section of the tunnel.The moment Rhys saw the battlefield they had left behind, he understood that the fight had been far more difficult than he had expected. Bodies covered the ground, weapons were scattered everywhere, and several of the Elite fighters were still recovering from their injuries. The enemy had been trapped, but that didn’t mean they had been easy to kill.“Rhys! Glad you’re back. We have secured the area and are ready to move into the underground prison,” AceKing, the operation leader from the True Elites, said as Rhys acknowledged him with a nod.“We need to excavate the section of the tunnel near the outer palace wall that should still be intact, and use it to re-enter the first floor of the prison.However, with the ongoing bombardment from the enemy, it’s risky. There’s a real possibility the tunn

As Rhys continued through the first floor of the prison, the chaos around them grew worse with every passing minute.The prisoners they had freed at the beginning had already started opening other cells, creating a chain reaction that quickly spread across the entire floor. Before long, the underground prison had turned into a violent battlefield filled with prisoners, guards, screams, and bodies.Seeing how dangerous the situation was becoming, Rhys told Varyn and Kael to stay close. He also hurried forward until their group was less than five meters behind Squad Leader AceKing. Staying within the protection of the veteran Tier 5 warrior was the safest option they had.Rhys’s decision proved to be the right one.As the prisoners continued pouring out of their cells, the mob became increasingly uncontrollable. Some of the inmates had completely lost whatever restraint they possessed and started attacking anyone they could reach. A few even tried to rush toward the Elites, hoping to st

After single-handedly forcing back the dozen or so Elites who had tried to stop him, Marcus finally decided that he had wasted enough time. If he continued fighting them individually, Rhys would only get farther away, so he chose to end the battle with one of his strongest attacks.[ Ocean’s Wrath ]A tremendous amount of mana gathered inside Marcus’s sword. The blue glow surrounding the blade became brighter as he poured more and more power into the attack.Then he swung.The sword released a gigantic wave that looked like an enormous tsunami. It surged down the prison corridor with enough force to tear through half of the second floor, smashing everything in its path.The twelve Elites immediately tried to stop it.By then, they were exhausted. Their breathing was ragged, their bodies were covered in injuries, and their weapons had already taken considerable damage. They had fought Marcus with everything they had, yet the combined strength of twelve Tier 5 warriors had still failed

Trusting Kratos’s directions about Violet’s cell, Rhys moved through the prison aisle with Mama Chun close beside him while the Elites continued their brutal fight against the prison guards.Reaching the cell was far more difficult than Rhys had expected. Several times, the group had to stop and use all their strength to block stray attacks from the high-level fighters battling around them. Spells and weapons kept flying across the aisle, making every step toward Violet’s cell dangerous.Even so, Rhys, Kael, Mama Chun, and Varyn eventually made their way through the chaos and reached the cell Kratos had identified. Kael immediately moved toward the door and began working on the locks.Rhys’s heart was pounding so hard that he could almost hear it.His senses were stretched to their limit, picking up every movement and sound around him. His sister was right behind that door. After everything he had endured to reach this place, he was finally only inches away from saving her.The though

A few seconds after Rhys injected the blue medicine into Violet’s veins, her violent seizures gradually began to weaken. The foam around her mouth also stopped, and her body slowly became less rigid.Even the skin around the hand where Rhys had administered the injection began returning to its original wheatish tone. The change stood out clearly against the rest of her purple skin.“It’s working! Sir Rhys, I think the medicine is working!” Kael said excitedly when he noticed the obvious improvement.Fortunately, Kael was right.After another few seconds, Violet’s seizures stopped completely. The purple color gradually disappeared from her skin, returning her complexion to normal. She began coughing as her lungs cleared, and her breathing slowly settled into a steady rhythm.Cough CoughVomitViolet suddenly leaned forward and vomited a foul greenish liquid that looked almost like bile. She continued coughing for several seconds, trying to catch her breath, before finally lifting her h
