Chapter 1073: Chapter 804: Hero of Hope
It is said that when Aleye was forcibly subdued by Reiger, the Immortal Spirits who were chanting the Immortal Essence Great Secret Technique at the six altars on the tenth floor of the artificial labyrinth Knossos all vanished like smoke.
Just like the monsters of the underground city losing their magic stones, they turned into a cloud of ash, vanishing completely from head to foot, causing the circular circuits spread across the entire tenth floor of the artificial labyrinth to disappear as well.
Along with them, those colorful monsters also turned into ash.
The scene of the monsters collectively turning into ashes reportedly shocked many people.
They left no drop items behind, only brightly colored magic stones... and the bodies of adventurers who would forever remain here.
As for why the campaign suddenly ended, why the city was suddenly saved, people have figured that out as well.
"It must be the [Limit Breaker], right?"
"It’s definitely the [Limit Breaker]!"
"At that time, only the [Limit Breaker] broke away from the campaign team to pursue the mastermind behind the scenes."
"He defeated the mastermind, which is why everything came to an end, right?"
Such rumors gradually spread and carried considerable credibility.
The Loki Clan and Reiger himself did not deny any of this, thus confirming the rumor in actuality.
Even Finn and Ais, upon learning of this, showed gratified smiles.
In such circumstances, Reiger did not reveal the fact that he had subdued the Polluted Immortal Spirit; he only said that he resolved the matter and explained everything fully, letting both the guild and the Loki Clan know the entire process.
Thus, Orario was saved, and the underground forces’ conspiracies were thwarted by brave adventurers.
Unfortunately, none of this can be made public.
Just as Finn said before the battle, this action was destined not to be announced.
The sacrifices would not earn merit.
The participants would not receive rewards.
During the city’s unrest and after the campaign ended, the guild released the following statement to the public.
"Everything originated from the disturbance during the Monster Festival."
"Many may recall that at that time, the monsters transported from the underground city lost control and caused chaos in East Street."
"After that event, we discovered that there were actually more monsters out of control, hiding in Daedalus Street and even in the sewers, becoming unstable factors causing urban unrest."
"To annihilate these monsters, we commissioned multiple clans to take action together, and after identifying the monsters’ habitats, they were exterminated."
"The reason for not disclosing this is to avoid unnecessary panic, and we apologize to all for this."
This is the reason for a series of disturbances.
At least, this is how the guild has announced it to the outside, and their attitude is firm.
After all, not only is there a need to conceal a series of situations, but the second entrance to the underground labyrinth, this artificial labyrinth, cannot be exposed either, or it would surely become a seed of chaos.
Of course, there are people who can’t accept this post-event explanation and list a series of abnormalities.
For example, why were there repeated deportations of deities?
Or, what was the phenomenon of the red magic light?
And then, what were the mysterious tremors appearing repeatedly in the city?
The guild’s explanations for these are simple and straightforward.
"The clans and main gods investigating the monsters’ habitats unfortunately sacrificed themselves, hence the deportation of deities."
"The red magic light was caused by someone using magic to exterminate monsters."
"As for the mysterious tremors appearing in the city, those were phenomena caused by the monsters."
These explanations may not resolve everyone’s inner doubts, but the guild still made the announcements unilaterally.
"Overall, thanks to the relentless efforts of the adventurers, the city is out of danger."
"From now on, Orario’s peace will continue."
"We hope the citizens can rest assured."
Thus, the entire event was declared concluded, and only the clans that participated in the artificial labyrinth Knossos campaign knew what they had encountered and what this city had faced.
But, as the guild said, the city is out of danger, peace has returned, and regardless of what follows, at least for now, everyone can relax.
Perhaps only the clans with sacrifices will remain immersed in this incident, forever remembering the things that happened during this period?
There’s nothing to be done, as the opponents were clones of Immortal Spirits that even Loki’s clan found troublesome, and despite Reiger’s efforts, it was inevitable that some would be sacrificed.
Led by the Ganisa Clan and Hephaestus Clan, members from numerous clans paid with their precious lives, which is an undeniable fact.
If the event ends like this, these sacrifices will probably be silently sent to the grave without any achievements and receive burial?
Even Loki’s clan had a few people who unfortunately sacrificed, and their names will forever disappear underground in Orario as the event concludes.
... unless Reiger intervenes.
"True Revival."
This was the last magic Reiger used after the artificial labyrinth campaign.
To ensure this magic worked on all the sacrificed, he naturally used the Group Mark magic, ultimately bringing back all the sacrificed who rightly should have died.
