Chapter 881 - Pleasant Surprise

"I've only heard about them from the secret realm and the other dominions…"

"But if the other dominions are invading us, why haven't we received any news from the southern regions? They would have been struck first!"

"Considering the speed of this Black Dragon Clan's subjugation, perhaps the southern regions fell too quickly before they could send the news out…"

"Nevertheless, that is not our concern right now. We should be figuring out how to deal with this so-called Black Dragon Clan!"

While the Purple Coatl Dragon Elders debated over the solution, Shadowtail and the others continued to lead their group and sweep the demon clans across the Great Blackrock Mountains.

After entering the mountain ruin, Leon, Darlene, Aria, and Duna ventured deeper down the wide, sloped passageway.

Relics of the past scattered along the side of the walls, some even partially unearthed.

Wherever they looked, runes filled the relics, some still functioning while others were damaged and broken.

Even so, these relics were all left on the side like discarded trash.

"We've only just stepped into the ruin, but we've already found so many relics of the distant past lying around like garbage…" Leon commented with a wry smile.

He stopped by one side of the passageway and picked up a dirty box-shaped relic before he patted the dirt off to inspect the item.

It was just a small chest, nothing worth mentioning.

However, shortly after Leon opened the small chest, he found well-preserved primordial scriptures inside.

He couldn't understand the specifics of the primordial scriptures at a glance.

Despite that, he was well aware that all techniques from the primordial era were far from ordinary in the present era.

"I guess dark crystals are more important to the demons," Aria added to Leon's comment amusedly.

"Most warriors in the Darkmoon Tribe would also choose the dark crystals over these old relics and scriptures. Only a select few would collect relics from the ruins for study," Darlene stated.

Something that could be used was better off than something they could not.

"I suppose this is a perfect example of; one man's garbage is another man's treasure. Too bad for them, but lucky for us," Leon stated.

Once Aria and Darlene saw Leon pocketing every relic they saw, they also began to help him collect the relics.

On the other hand, Duna rubbed some dirt off the wall to gaze at the runic language engraved on it.

Nevertheless, she didn't fall too far off from the others.

When Leon and the others quickly cleared out the relics and made their way deeper into the ruins, Duna would move onto another mural closer to them.

It didn't take long before Nyfarella caught up and rejoined their group.

"I've finished my business at the outpost, my Lord," Nyfarella reported before taking out crates of dark crystals, "These items were all collected from there."

Leon swept a glance at the dark crystal crates but didn't show any particular interest in them.

"Since you found them, it's yours; keep it," Leon casually said.

"Thank you, my Lord!" Nyfarella answered excitedly.

There were at least a few hundred thousand dark crystals, yet the Lord was willing to give it all to her without much concern.

She was both impressed and astounded by his indifference to such wealth.

The group eventually reached a split in the passageway; one path revealed more relics while the distant clings and clangs of mining came from the other.

It was clear where each path would lead them.

"There are two paths to take here. I'll be taking the left path and heading deeper into the ruins, but you want to free your clan members, don't you?" Leon turned to Nyfarella.

"Yes, my Lord!" Nyfarella nodded firmly.

"Nyfarella won't intrude on your free time, my Lord. With my present strength, I should be capable of taking care of the red ghouls in the dark crystal mine by myself."

"Go on then."

"Yes!"

Shortly after Nyfarella took the right path and ventured into the dark crystal mine on her own, Leon and the others headed deeper into the ruins on the left path.

They eventually arrived in a large cave filled with partially unearthed relics and half-buried broken buildings.

An unfathomable aura of ancientness exuded from them.

It was clear these objects weren't just old; they were very old—old as the gods and devils from the primordial era.

Leon glanced around and admired the mural on the broken buildings and relics full of runic engravings.

There is a lot of research value in these ruins.

"The Great War supposedly destroyed the gods and devils' physical forms, but it seems some structures and relics of the past manage to survive the destruction and made it to this age…"

"You should use Nihility on them," Duna suddenly spoke.

Leon and the other two ladies immediately glanced back at Duna with astonishment, not expecting her to speak suddenly.

"Why?" Leon asked, nonetheless.

"These ancient buildings are all made from the purest form of True Grandmist Energy that appeared at the beginning of time. The amount of True Grandmist Energy that you can extract from them cannot compare with what you had until now," Duna calmly explained.

Leon's eyes flickered.

After listening to Duna's explanation, he became curious at once.

He glanced at a broken wall and wondered just how many wisps of True Grandmist Energy he could extract from it.

'Are you seriously planning on destroying a historical object with this much runic knowledge on it?'

Maya's criticizing voice suddenly resounded in Leon's mind, causing his eyes to slowly widen with a pleasant surprise.

'Maya? You've awakened? When? How?' Leon asked with astonishment.

'Are you seriously asking me when you should know better than me? Who else can it be beside you to supply spirit energy for my recovery? Didn't you gather these few thousand stalks of tier-5 spirit herb for that purpose?'

Maya replied confusedly.

Nevertheless, once Maya mentioned the tier-5 spirit herbs, Leon immediately realized how the artifact spirit recovered.
