Chapter 182: Shaking The Foundations

The blast was supposed to break the morale of the beasts, but it in turn triggered a mechanism. The last barricade that kept the killing intent in check had fallen!

Till now, the beast would damage or hunt down the cultivators to bring them inside the dungeon. When they die inside, their organic body and accessories are absorbed by the dungeon instantly. It was as if the dead were being melted and merged with the ground.

The sect suffered a very low, but steady decrease in their numbers. As more people were dragged to the inside, the disciples found that the beasts are not immediately dangerous, and thus have a chance to win. The time interval between respawning was also increasing, and favored the Moon Water Sect.

But, the terror was unleashed as the wyverns saw one of them being hurt and now unconscious. Rage filled their minds and they began to go for kill.

The cultivators witnessed few instant deaths within a minute. The sharp teeth piercing the bodies of the cultivators like a knife through butter, made their hands lose strength. Legs began to tremble and fear overshadowed their pride. Now, all they want to do is survive.

Spears and swords flashed out and violently defended against the killing spree of the wyverns. Talismans rose into the air and wyverns sustained more damage. Wyverns were being suppressed by the desperate attempts of sect disciples, which bore fruit.

Lee saw the changing tides, and gave a mental order to pull back the remaining wyverns. They promptly cried out and retreated back into their lair, with one or two women in their grip. Minotaurs and Safragors understood the cry's intent, and thus slowly retreated. While the lesser beasts were retreating, wyverns flew up for one last time and gave a cover fire.

Snow Wyvern was awake the whole time, but Lee ordered it to stay put. While the cultivators were distracted by the threat at hand, it slowly sneaked away from there, and moved towards the dense vegetations. Lee, who was among the trees, suspended by the Flight skill gave its location to the other two more wyverns that he had tamed.

Like a friend familiar for more than a decade, the wyverns felt a close relationship with Lee. The four tamed Minotaurs were also conveyed about his location from the dungeon, and they gave an act of running away from the group.

"Since they are isolated, we shall kill them after closing the breach."

Seventh elder who was injured, but fighting without losing her battle spirit saw the disciples charging at the four minotaurs. Her words rerouted the disciples back to the dungeon entrance.

The tamed large beasts disappeared into the bamboo forest and neared Lee. Like a companion, they stood next to Lee and expressed their happiness to see him.

Without wasting a moment, he opened a spatial tear which connected to the System Space. The large black portal was spotted by some of the elders and their brows knitted. Before they could realise what that was, it disappeared into thin air. The Snow Wyvern, two Lesser Wyverns with no attribute, and four Minotaurs stepped inside the System Space.

'I still have not contributed anything.'

Lee said in his mind, and brought out 4 metallic boxes from the storage. He designed these 1 foo long, wide and thick objects when the dungeon beasts were waging war over the sect. Though they resembled flawless cubic pieces of pure platinum, it was packed with some serious detonations.

'Activate.'

Upon activation, the boxes floated downward. Before touching the ground, they transformed into 2 and a half foot tall metallic humanoids. Instantly, they began to execute the command already fed by Lee.

Swift and silent were these robots. They were real-time connected with the Map, and thus intelligently calculated the optimum and safest path to reach the building. Lee followed them to find if his creation had any kind of flaw, but he didn't.

Evading all the keen eyes of observations, these highly agile and acrobatic figures dashed towards the sect's main building. It was almost completely deserted by the unexpected disturbance. The remaining guards were easily taken down by the metal beings, and Lee was content with his creativity.

[Your ring is on the innermost chamber. The treasury is located below the main building, under lock and key. The main building is supported by four gigantic pillars.]

D had scanned through the entire premise and located the ring. It was his suggestion to loot the treasury completely, and his response to the ill-treatment Lee received, was to blow up the sect to smithereens.

Lee covered the twists and turns of the sect building within an instant, and reached the assembly hall. His agility was over the charts and the shockwave his movements left behind made marks on the walls.

Retrieving the ring, Lee descended to the treasury in the underground. The guards did not even feel that they were knocked out. Breaking the levers and locks of the door with his sheer physical strength, Lee entered into the treasury.

Though it was small and organised, expensive where the objects kept there. A gust of wind cracked the walls as Lee passed through the treasury. Everything was taken into the EsGen from where D was responsible to sort them.

As he surfaced from the treasury, the four humanoid robots gave off individual notifications that they are ready to proceed. Lee took a second to cover the distance between him and the sect entrance, and then said-

"Do it."

*ghummmmm…*

A heavily muffled boom produced a wave of dust and it swept across him. Those one th streets outside the sect premises, also felt the shockwave. As the eyes turned to the sect building, the building sunk into the ground.

Chu Hua, sect elders and the disciples turned to the sect, to see what was that wave that originated from their back. As they beheld, the building tilted to its side.

"Is it just me or is the sect building really leaning on us?."
