Sacred Souls: Genesis-Chapter 154 - 153 Invasion Begins (1st Update)

Chapter 154: Chapter 153 Invasion Begins (1st Update)

Yelena was sitting atop the Dancing Nuclear Guild’s lookout tower.

After she had lazily logged in, she finally got a chance to rest, and her rest involved sitting on the lookout tower, gazing into the distance at the forest around her.

From the lookout tower, she could really see a lot of interesting things, such as an oversized bottle, a sculpture of a humanoid mouse, a particularly large statue of a rainbow unicorn, and a spinning wheel.

That wheel didn’t look like it was finished; it was only halfway done.

These buildings shouldn’t have appeared in a forest filled with crises, yet there they stood, as if mocking the lord-level monsters that inhabited the forest in silent derision.

This bunch of somewhat playful buildings was just like the holy spirits behind Yelena.

...

Turning her head to look back, Yelena noticed the holy spirits behind her doing something. They had found a wooden table this morning and four of them started playing a game called Mahjong around it.

They were even enthusiastic in inviting Yelena to join, but she had politely declined.

Because she really felt unsafe!

Yelena didn’t know how these holy spirits could be so carefree and play Mahjong in a forest filled with dragons.

She couldn’t do that at all; as a result, she hadn’t closed her eyes for three days and nights.

If Jiang Qiao hadn’t transformed crystallization into real power she owned, enhancing her physique, she might have already passed out.

Right now, Yelena didn’t have the mood to eat lunch either. She was constantly observing her surroundings from the lookout tower, occasionally dropping pebbles into the magma lake below the base.

This was one of her few ways to relieve stress. Yelena felt that if it weren’t for those silly… ahem, the powerful holy spirits being there, she might have broken down from the stress by now.

It was like a little piglet running into a tiger-filled cage; the mere fact that it wasn’t shaking in terror was brave enough.

“Pure One Suit, one thousand points!”

“Pure what! Play some real Mahjong! Let’s switch to the Sichuan Mahjong mode!”

“Ah? Piss off, what happened to playing Landlords? If we’re sticking with Mahjong, it has to be Guangzhou Mahjong!”

So noisy.

Yelena turned to look at the holy spirits sitting around that wooden table. Since coming to this base, her impression of them was that they wore somewhat bizarre clothing and were always in an extremely excited state.

They seemed to have a good time every day.

How could they be so happy in such a dangerous environment?

Thinking about this, Yelena’s mood became even more irritable. If she had such great strength, she could have lived peacefully within the base as well.

Unfortunately, with her current power, she would be eaten by any lord-level creature on the island.

As Yelena thought about this, she threw another stone into the magma lake below. However, this time she didn’t hear the sound of the stone being devoured by the magma, but rather the sound of it hitting something.

She immediately widened her eyes, staring in shock and panic at the huge dark shadow emerging from the magma lake.

A dragon! A massive dragon emerged from the magma lake, and it was less than five meters away from her.

Will I die?

In the moment that thought flashed through Yelena’s mind, she saw a figure standing on the dragon, a figure she was extremely familiar with.

As the giant dragon drew closer, Yelena also saw the true appearance of the figure standing on the dragon’s head.

At that moment of clarity, the expression of fear on Yelena’s face turned to surprise because the one standing on the dragon’s head was an all-too-familiar figure.

“Denghis Xisi!” Yelena exclaimed excitedly.

“We’ve come to pick you up, Your Majesty,” Denghis Xisi said, looking at Yelena standing unharmed on the lookout tower and let out a slight sigh of relief.

“Your Majesty? Pick me up?” Before Yelena could understand what was happening, she realized something even more terrifying.

The giant dragon let out a terrifying roar, raising its magma-coated claws and brutally slamming them down on the Dancing Nuclear Guild’s base wall.

“No!” Yelena shouted in despair, but it was already too late.

The wall, which was still incomplete, couldn’t withstand the full force of a level fifty lord-level dragon’s strike.

The wall started to collapse in an instant, and the magma covering the dragon’s claws rained down into the base like a shower.

“Cease fire!” Yelena turned back to look at the camp, already engulfed in raging flames, and shouted to Denghis Xisi behind her, “I order you to stop now!”

“Destroying them won’t take long; it’ll be over soon.” Under Denghis Xisi’s command, the dragon smashed through the city walls, and then two more dragons leaped out from the magma in quick succession.

The fire had completely spread throughout the Dancing Nuclear Guild’s stronghold, and Yelena turned back, wanting to shout ‘Run!’ to the spirits inside the stronghold.

But there was only one decision they could make, which was to draw their weapons and fight to the death against the three lord-level monsters that had suddenly emerged.

Yelena didn’t have the chance to shout because the leading dragon opened its massive jaws and swallowed her whole; in the last moment before being consumed, Yelena saw the scene of Fureya leading twenty spirits from inside the stronghold charging towards the three lord-level monsters.

……

In the western city, the first match of the Dispute Summer Competition was about to kick off.

Mo Shigui and the members of Dancing Nuclear Club had arrived at the venue for the match, which was starting in ten minutes. He was frantically setting out tactics and analyzing for his team.

“Dynasty Supreme is an old rival of ours; their recent performance has been lackluster. Let’s take them down in one fell swoop.”

After setting up the tactics, Mo Shigui boosted his team’s morale. He viewed the match as a sure win.

The currently underperforming Dynasty Supreme couldn’t possibly be a match for Dancing Nuclear.

Just as the team members were still joking around in the rest room, Mo Shigui’s phone received a message.

‘President, three lord-level monsters have suddenly appeared around the stronghold, along with a group of elite-level Magic Thieves. The walls have been destroyed.’

Upon seeing the message, Mo Shigui’s facial expression stiffened.

“Coach, what’s the matter?” One of the team members noticed Mo Shigui’s expression.

“Nothing, have all of you turned in your phones?” Mo Shigui adjusted his expression and asked the team.

“We handed them in a while ago; we’ve been playing for years so of course, we wouldn’t make such a basic mistake,” the team members said.

It is a rule that you must leave your phones in the rest room before entering the arena. Mo Shigui felt momentarily relieved to hear their response.

That’s because many in Dancing Nuclear’s team were also playing Spirits and were among the builders of the stronghold.

If they learned that the stronghold was under monster siege, it would undoubtedly affect their performance in the match.

What to do? No… the focus should be on the match for now.

Mo Shigui, among everyone in the dressing room, was just a coach for Dancing Nuclear; the boss was sitting in the room at the moment.

Playing Spirits during other times might be excusable, but if he logged in during the match, the club’s management would have countless reasons to fire him.

Even worse, he could end up like Laughing Master, being caught up in the frenzy and possibly destroying his reputation overnight.

Playing another game before a match is a serious matter.

A game and a bundle of data aren’t worth risking his career for; if the stronghold is destroyed, it can be rebuilt—no big deal.

As Mo Shigui thought this, he glanced at his phone again. It showed several screenshots sent by Fureya, with lava flowing into the interior of the stronghold.

The worst part was that the ancient tree was engulfed in flames…

Was Fureya inside? This dreadful question popped into Mo Shigui’s mind.

He forgot whether his own Fureya had transferred from the initial stronghold to the Dancing Nuclear Guild’s stronghold.

Damn it!

If Fureya was inside the tree hollow, wouldn’t she be choking on the smoke by now, only to be burned to death by the flames in the end?

That must be one of the most painful ways to die.

Mo Shigui’s hand holding the phone began to tremble slightly. His gaze swept around the rest room—no VR devices, which was to be expected.

What to do? Mo Shigui unlocked his phone and started to go through his contact list.

The guild closest to his was… it should be… Abyss Temple?

Mo Shigui stood up and walked outside the rest room, then after a moment of hesitation, he gritted his teeth and made the call to Can Xin.
