Chapter 1128 - 1128. Something To Hold On To



This time Walker and Midnight took the lead. They let the shadow of the demonic hagfish pass by them without any action. It would be displaced by Leon\'s defensive skill later and even more so by their attack on lust. They all knew that the tamers were most likely demons that had Lust had spawned in some way and would lose their lives when she was defeated. Therefore, they would have the demonic hagfish to be dealt with. Luckily, they had already sent a message for reinforcements to help the water elves after. 

Whip pushing on through the water they noticed that the bottom was less and less covered with mud from all the activities on the surface and in the water. They found the stones that replaced the mud were fairly clean in comparison. Alma knew that this was the remainder of the water elve\'s pride. They cleaned the area around their castle so that it would remain pure and stand out to the world. It was also why some small stone buildings were intact. 

They ducked in to one such underwater building to find that it was full of magical tomes. They were very intricate in their knowledge of water elemental magic. But one that stood out was a single book that had a rune Walker recognized from the mage tower. It was one that the desert elves must have gifted to the water elves at some point. There was no hesitation as Walker stored all the books away so that they would not be lost to the destruction that would come with Leon\'s skill. So much had already been lost and the single minute to store them away was more than enough to bring value back to the water elves. 

There was a stone slope going up toward a set of pure white stairs. They were made specifically for the water elves to walk in to the castle but had not been used for some time. The group looked at each other before Gil snuck upwards. He peaked out of the cold water and saw that the entire area was abandoned. He motioned for everyone to follow. 

Midnight went first and used her shadow wrapping skill. She was able to sneak around the area to find that it was indeed abandoned while the others came out of the water. Now that they knew there were no elves or demons nearby, Walker was less afraid to use his elemental manipulation to remove the water from everyone. He knew that being too cold would hinder their battle. Especially since Gil, Alma, and him were blue lipped by this point. 

"This should be the most populated place for the water elves. They made everything so that their castle would be the focal point of their city. But it\'s just empty." The words seemed to drift away in silence while Alma looked at the towering white and blue castle. She knew that the water elves would use this as the entrance for everyone that came to the castle so that it would show off the magnificence of what they built. It was heartbreaking to see that it was so unused now. 

"Demons don\'t care about that. You saw the training areas and homes underwater. They are in ruins. We are lucky that Walker grabbed those books. They were barely holding on without care. I bet they don\'t even have proper water protection anymore because the demons have been focusing on war preparations now that they have full control." The fire in Gil\'s voice was more powerful than even he realized. He had not gotten ahold of how this all really made him feel. He was closer to the elves than any of the party and now he was finding just how close he felt he was. 

"It will all be right. We can help fix it. Just breathe and keep your focus. It\'s better that they are not watching this spot because they do not care. We can sneak in and find out where Lust is….But I have an idea that we already know where they are." Midnight hissed in agreement. If Lust was the demon that they thought she was and wanted the attention of everyone, then she would have people steeped in poison mist in the grand hall of the water elf castle. 

"You will be able to keep the poison off of us? It will only get worse from here." Alma wanted to be sure that Walker\'s high poison resistance skill could hold up. She was answered by him passing pon more of his mana to them so that it would protect them. 

"Let\'s get moving. We don\'t know the floor plan of the castle so we might get lost. We need to tread carefully." Walker looked on the long walkway in to the castle ahead of them.
