Chapter 792: Chapter 681: Jade Coronet! Set off for battle!

The underground sewer system, perfected with the rapid development of the Royal Capital Beckler, is not particularly old.

However, once it was understood that the filth within the city was largely the source of various diseases, construction of this vast underground project, led by city managers, barely ever ceased.

As of today, the total length of the meticulously designed sewer system beneath the city has astonishingly reached 1000 kilometers, ensuring that domestic sewage, industrial wastewater, and rainwater generated in the city are promptly directed into the Taim River via an extensive network, and then swept away to the sea.

Of course, while the city sewer system bears the responsibility of ensuring the city runs smoothly, under normal circumstances no citizen would be interested in a visit here.

But today is clearly an exception.

Swish.. swash..

In the nearly pitch-dark underground network, a shadowed figure was staggering forward through foul-smelling, polluted stagnant water.

From the attire of his dungarees, he appeared to be a young factory worker, dressed in his most clean and formal clothing, seemingly about to attend a grand celebration.

Yet somehow he found himself alone in the depths of the sewers, his clothes smeared with various stains.

At this moment.

Despite his half-open, half-closed eyes clearly unable to see, he seemed as though tugged by an invisible rope. Even as he passed junctions, he proceeded without hesitation to the deepest part of the sewer.

The darkness before him felt exceptionally dense, as if solidifying into a filthy swamp, or like an amorphous beast lurking in the shadows, ready to swallow everything passing by, including light.

And right above this dark area was Beckler’s city center — Regent Street Square in front of St. James’s Palace!

Wow!

Under the mysterious pull, the young man was about to stride through the sewage into the darkness when suddenly, a loud voice called from behind him:

"Found him, he’s here!"

A group of "Iron Wall Knights," whose bodies were faintly glowing with Holy Light, appeared at the end of the foul passage, drawn by eerie cattle and sheep noises, fixating their gaze on the dense darkness unscattered by the Holy Light, while raising their longswords high.

"Facing strong enemies, fearless and undaunted!"

"Valiant and loyal, deserving of divine grace!"

"Faithful and upright, preferring death over submission!"

"Protecting the weak, abiding by heavenly principles!"

[Divine Skill: Knight’s Oath]

Led by a Tier 3 Great Knight, the group of twelve "Iron Wall Knights" suddenly had radiant white globes burst upon them, bolstered by their unwavering faith, with white waves of light cascading forward like an unstoppable flood.

The young man caught in the daunting stream was unharmed but jolted awake from the nightmare in an instant, realizing his surroundings, and in terror, retreated toward the Holy Knights.

Meanwhile, the [Knight’s Oath] attack surged forward, fiercely striking the dense darkness.

Sizzle—

The sound of a hot iron burning skin rang sharply, and a massive rent was torn open in the black veil covering the area, revealing secrets hidden for nearly a month to outside eyes.

But before the Iron Wall Knights could discern what lay within.

"Squeak squeak squeak... For the glory of the ’Funeral God’!"

"’Corpse Preserver’ Sinotoglis awaits us in his realm!"

"Squeak squeak squeak... Devotion!"

A group of humanoid rats clothed in uniform robes swung bone ritual daggers in their hands, rushing toward the Holy Knights with faces full of fanaticism, conducting a suicidal charge without even using proper divine arts.

Spotting their appearance and the holy emblem on their chests, seemingly composed of twisted swollen arms, Ambrose exhaled slightly, yet his brow furrowed deeply:

"These are priests of the ’Funeral Church’? Where have they been hiding before? Didn’t the sewers undergo a targeted cleanup three times already?"

Suspended overseas, the Tulip Islands have a strait serving as a barrier, which limits Ambrose and his group’s interactions with this evil god force.

"Purify them!"

These former humans, who gradually mutated into humanoid rats after worshiping the evil god "Funeral God," barely reached the Extraordinary level, and their combat strength posed little threat to the Iron Wall Knights.

Once exposed, they were effortlessly eliminated within moments, their bodies floating lifelessly in the dirty water.

Yet the Iron Wall Knights did not relax their vigilance, gripping their longswords as they cautiously advanced, aware that the powers of these evil god sects were bizarre and unpredictable, eluding defenses.

Despite the complete annihilation of the Rat People, the source of the cattle and sheep sounds and the bewitchment of citizens remained undiscovered.

"Everyone, be cautious!"

Though behind was still somewhat chaotic with the rock sewer network, no strange aura was detected. If not for the citizens being ’preyed upon’ moments ago, it might not have seemed unusual even at close range.

The only element of oddity was the overly solid-looking central load-bearing wall.

The Holy Knights exchanged glances, about to unleash another salvo of [Knight’s Oath] based on the principle of ’rather kill wrongfully than let go’ when—

Crack—

A "brick" on the load-bearing wall abruptly crumbled, revealing traces of bones and hair in the fracture upon landing, followed by successive falls... revealing a circular large hole.
