Chapter 348: Attack Of The Bronze Statues! (Fixed)
More cracks started to appear on the other pillars, which then collapsed to reveal more pitch-black bronze statues. Each glared at them with savage red eyes.
A frightening Energy wave rippled over these bronze statues. None of them were weaker than the bronze statue Tyrion had subdued just a little while ago.
"Hssssss!"
Tyrion couldn't help taking in a breath as he watched the bronze statues struggle out of their pillars. To think there'd be so many Bronze Guardians here! This truly was a dangerous place.
Everyone else's faces changed immediately as they took their positions in the formation.
"We'll charge together and wreck those bronze statues!"
The attack had been too unexpected; however, the humans weren't few in numbers either — there were quite a few experts who'd made it into the basin. After the sudden loss, the formations rapidly gathered again. Shouts and snarls rang through the darkness as the experts joined forces and their combined Genetic energy soared to reach the skies, before they charged towards the black bronze statues.
Boom!
A torrent of people smashed into the black bronze statues and the two sides broke into an intense battle. A violent Genetic energy swept over the battlefield, so strong it even split the earth.
However, everyone had underestimated the Bronze Guardians — these things had been created solely for battle and felt no pain. Even though the experts had the advantage of quantity, they lacked in terms of quality — there were only a few who could break through the bronze statue's defenses and advance deeper, and they still had to pay a huge price for accomplishing that much.
"Those guys from White Dragon Overlord City are charging in real fast!" Nyxa suddenly warned.
Tyrion looked to the far right and confirmed that the experts of White Dragon Overlord City had already gathered into an arrow formation and were swiftly piercing through the bronze statue's defenses. Each of them was giving it their all.
Aside from Archon and the grey-cloaked Elder, Tyrion and his party could sense another four Genetic energy wave s coming from experts who'd reached the Fiendgod Stage Initial Phase!
Borrowing strength from their powerful formation, White Dragon Overlord City took the lead and broke through the Bronze Guardians much faster than any of the other forces could possibly match.
Aelira ground her teeth as she recognised a few familiar Genetic energy wave s. "Among those four other Fiendgod Stage Initial Phases, two of them are from the ones who attacked us the other night. So they really are from White Dragon Overlord City."
Tyrion frowned. "White Dragon Overlord City no longer needs to hide its strength; all they have to do is advance past the bronze statues to reach the deepest area. The treasures will be right in front of them."
"We can't let them steal the supreme treasure so easily!" Aelira declared. Besides, if Archon and his soldiers won the treasure, then they probably wouldn't be able to escape safely.
Michael and the rest nodded in agreement.
"We'll move together. After them!"
Aelira lightly waved her diamond hands and made a clutching motion. With the sensation of rolling waves, a strange and ancient diamond pearl appeared in her hand.
Tyrion and his group circulated their Energies to the limits and burst forward. They passed through large throngs of people as they charged towards the Bronze Guardians.
Their Energies were much stronger from the other experts', which quickly attracted the surprised attention of three Bronze Guardians. The bronze statues took trembling steps as they changed directions and charged after them.
"Cosmic Water pearl, Cosmic Tide Cage!"
Aelira took note of the situation and raised her diamond hands. The ancient diamond pearl flew from her palm, and a surge of blue waves a hundred feet high rose into the air. The water crashed down and swirled into a massive vortex, enveloping the three bronze statues.
Bang! Bang!
The violent whirlpool spun endlessly with a frightening force. The three statues had been as strong as any Fiendgod Stage Initial Phase, but they were pinned down so strongly that they couldn't even move. The clear and beautiful azure waves pounded them until cracks appeared on their bodies.
Even Tyrion was shocked by Aelira's move. This was the first time he'd seen her fight, but he never imagined that she'd be so powerful. With just a casual attack, she could take care of those three Bronze statue Guardians.
Ranked 3 of the Myth rankings. Truly, her fame wasn't for nothing.
Lara flashed an side smile when she saw Tyrion's astonished expression. "That's my sister's Cosmic Water pearl. A High Rank Sacred Relic. She spent three million Death points for it."
Michael laughed as well. "Haha. The Cosmic Water pearl contains an extremely bizarre form of Cosmic water called Dense Water. A litre weighs a thousand kilogram. It could even crush a mountain. It's as dangerous as any weapon and can be used for both offense and defense.
The power of the Cosmic Water pearl is too flexible; that's why Aelira sits so securely as the the Rank 3 of the Myth rankings."
Tyrion exclaimed in admiration and nodded. So it was a High Rank Sacred Relic. No wonder. From the looks of it, Aelira's Cosmic Water pearl might even be stronger than the Arcanal Dragonized Bracelets.
"Let's go."
Aelira motioned and the blue crystal pearl returned to her hands. She stroked its cyan surface as she smiled and said, "Let's get over there. Fast."
"Yes!"
The other four agreed, then burst out in unison, easily passing the three bronze statues that'd gotten in their way just a few minutes ago.
Aelira brought out the Cosmic Water pearl again, while Michael and the other three burst forward on full attack, in an attempt to lessen the pressure on Aelira. The group of five charged straight forward.
The Steller Dipper Blade Academy and EarthCore Continuum Academy followed closely behind them. These factions had the advantage of numbers, and furthermore, they'd joined forces, so their combined strength was now far greater than it'd been before.
Everyone charged straight ahead. As long as they could get past the Bronze Guardians, they'd reach the Sacred dimensional relics and obtain the supreme treasure!
However, the price for such a straightforward charge was a heavy one to pay. Mournful screams echoed endlessly through the black basin, and the faint smell of blood permeated the air. Many faces turned pale.
Tyrion's party relied on Aelira's Cosmic Water pearl. Even though they suffered no injuries or deaths, their advancement grew tougher by the step. Finally, Tyrion decided that he had no choice but to summon his Bronze Guardian as well. Unfortunately, his Bronze Guardian was already badly damaged and looked to be on the verge of collapse — however, it could buy them some time to catch their breaths.
"There have been quite a few deaths from White Dragon Overlord City."
Aelira moved the Cosmic Water pearl again, and waves as heavy as mountains crushed the arm of one Bronze Guardian that was in the process of charging them. Then she looked to her right, where the experts of White Dragon Overlord City were already bathed in fresh blood. Even one of the Fiendgod Stage Initial Phase experts had died. No doubt a disastrous loss for them.
"We're approaching the central region."
Tyrion nodded with a grave look in his eyes. He'd already noticed that the deeper they went, the more violent the Bronze Guardians became, as though they were desperate to keep them from reaching their destination.

It was clear that they'd soon reach the heart of this Sacred dimensional relics.
"There're abnormal movements from White Dragon Overlord City!" Lara urged.
Tyrion and Aelira turned surprised expressions to see that White Dragon Overlord City had split their party into two. One was headed by Aetheron, with four Fiendgod Stage Initial Phase experts protecting him. The other was lead by Archon and was swiftly charging forward. The goal of this formation was clear — Archon was trying to open a path for the other group to forge ahead.
Tyrion narrowed his eyes. "They know that they're attracting too much attention because they have too many people. They're trying to split up into smaller groups, so they can move faster!"
He had to admit that White Dragon Overlord City's strategy was quite effective. While Archon and his group were attracting all the attention, Aetheron and his smaller party had already disappeared into the darkness.
"What do we do now? If this goes on, they'll be able to be the first to enter!" Michael anxiously cried.
Aelira smiled bitterly. She could try charging in alone; however, she knew the others would find it difficult to protect themselves without her.
As Aelira helplessly considered her options, Tyrion suddenly spoke with a soft voice. "I'll chase after them. You guys can catch up later."
"You alone?" Everyone looked at Tyrion with an astonished expression. They clearly hadn't expected such a suggestion from him.
"Rest assured. I won't do something stupid, like seeking my own death." Tyrion smiled. However, he didn't have enough time to fully explain, either.
