Chapter 979: Chapter 751: Dimension · Severance
In the next day’s time, the entire Twilight Manor was in a state of quiet.
After the journey to the artificial labyrinth Knossos, every member involved in this action was utterly exhausted. Once they returned to their rooms, they immediately fell into slumber, sleeping until night before some gradually woke up.
The members either walked with sleepy faces towards the grand dining hall to fill their stomachs or headed to the large bath to wash up, restoring their spirit and condition.
Reiger also returned to his room to rest for a day, leaving the headquarters only at night, heading towards Daedalus Street.
When Reiger arrived at Daedalus Street, it was still under the guild’s blockade.
Many members from various factions who came to gather information were mercilessly driven back by the guild’s staff. Those stubborn and intent on causing trouble or forcibly entering were pinned to the ground by the Ganisa Clan acting as military police, in a scene of sheer disgrace and misery.
"The various factions in the city are not so easily appeased."
Reiger thought of these matters indifferently.
Along the way, Reiger also heard many people talking about the affairs of Daedalus Street.
The appearance of the repatriation pillar seemed to have stirred something in the hearts of many people and gods, causing a temporary state of anxiety.
The guild attributed all this to a single explanation: an accident.
Yet, people were evidently unwilling to believe it.
Because, up to now, the guild still had not disclosed to everyone which unfortunate deity was involved in this "accident."
The guild was helpless too, as they couldn’t randomly name a god, or they would soon be exposed.
Thus, the guild claimed that everything was still under investigation, hoping citizens would remain calm.
"This explanation is typical bureaucratic rhetoric."
Reiger complained but had no intention of getting involved.
This was something for the guild to handle.
If the guild couldn’t provide the Loki Clan with combat support, then such trivial matters needed to be dealt with properly.
"[Complete Invisibility]."
"[Flight]."
Finding a secluded corner in an alley, Reiger cast two spells in succession, concealing his presence and flying into the sky.
If he entered Daedalus Street openly, the spies of various factions witnessing this would surely suspect the Loki Clan’s involvement in the current anomaly.
Therefore, Reiger hid his presence and entered Daedalus Street without anyone noticing.
Before long, Reiger arrived above a large hole.
This was the place where Thanatos’s repatriation pillar had broken through the surface and shot skyward.
Green meat was surging out of this large hole from the artificial labyrinth Knossos, eroding the surrounding surface, covering the ground, buildings, and narrow streets in a sheet of green.
Like a breeding ground for colorful monsters, the green meat squirmed while occupying all accessible areas.
Members of the Ganisa Clan were on the edge of the green meat, battling the green tendrils that extended like tentacles, attempting to assault and devour people.
They swung their swords and blades at the green meat while shouting instructions to the Magic Guides and Supporters armed with magic swords in the rear to cast spells, bombarding the wave of green meat to prevent its spread.
In the midst of this intense battle, some were wounded and retreated to be healed by the Healers, some were reprimanded for advancing too deeply, and others were nearly dragged into the green meat by its tendrils, barely rescued by their companions, standing there with lingering fear and heavy breaths.
"As expected of the Ganisa Clan, they’ve managed to stop the green meat from further eroding the surface."
After watching for a while, Reiger offered his praise.
As one of the largest factions in Maze City Orario, second only to the Loki Clan and Freyja Clan, the Ganisa Clan was allowed by the guild to act as military police, consistently maintaining city order, demonstrating their notable strength.
Although they lacked members of Lv.6 or Lv.7, the Ganisa Clan had a total of eleven Lv.5 adventurers, marking them as one of Orario’s leading factions with the most top-tier adventurers, unmatched by ordinary clans.
Thanks to their persistent efforts, the green meat couldn’t expand its erosion range.
Of course, this also had to do with the decreased activity of the green meat upon reaching the surface.
Its source was deep underground, equivalent to the 10th floor of the underground city, and distancing from the celestial essence replica on reaching the surface. This led to a sharp decline in threat level, no longer as overwhelming as when inside the labyrinth.
Confronting the highly active green meat within the artificial labyrinth, even the Loki Clan seemed chased by avalanches or mudslides, forced to turn back and flee, let alone the Ganisa Clan.
The Ganisa Clan managed to counter the green meat because its activity had decreased and there was only one large hole for it to emerge from. As long as they defended the hole, establishing a defense line around it, they could engage at their own pace.
Unlike the Loki Clan, where the green meat surged, blocking entire passages, leaving limited options for terrain and paths, they were forced to fight while retreating, pursued by the onslaught.
"Shua!"
At this thought, Reiger suddenly landed on the ground, undoing the invisibility magic and revealing himself before the members of the Ganisa Clan.
