Another World's Versatile Crafting Master Chapter 1055 - Levidan Canyon

Chapter 1055: Levidan Canyon

“Wait, where did the army from the Gilded Kingdom go?” asked a scout who finally remembered what he had to do after being amazed.

Although the entire Blackwater Swamp had turned into a world of salt, the scouts were best at tracking, and the army from the Gilded Kingdom was not small, either, and did not deliberately try to hide its tracks. Thus, the scouts soon managed to track down the Gilded Kingdom’s army, and carefully followed it while continuing to send new information to the alliance.

In the conference hall of the alliance, everyone finally stopped doubting the change of the Blackwater Swamp after receiving several messages in a row. However, their festive emotions were replaced by immense fear and horror. The power of the Gilded Kingdom was completely beyond their imagination.

Although they did not see the shocking transformation of the Blackwater Swamp with their own eyes, they could tell how terrifying the Gilded Kingdom was from the news that was constantly sent to them. Some of them even began to doubt whether the power of this alliance was really enough for them to contend with the Gilded Kingdom.

However, Elvis and the other three Sanctuary powerhouses knew that the change of the Blackwater Swamp was very likely to be the doing of the Sanctuary powerhouse of the Gilded Kingdom. While making them feel horrified, it also made them feel somewhat grateful that they hadn’t lost their temper at Port Tim back then. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Seeing that everyone’s heart began to waver, Elvis was feeling just as helpless. That was the problem with an alliance like theirs. Unless their survival was in danger, they would all flock towards benefits and vie with each other for them. Whenever there was trouble, they would flee as fast as possible.

“Since the Gilded Kingdom has no intentions of attacking us, we’d better do what we’re supposed to, and stop wasting time here.” After confirming that his family had escaped an ordeal, Sandev recalled the fact that he had been rejected by the other forces when he asked for help just now.

Sandev had lost his faith in such an alliance, and he felt that it would be better to simply go back and talk to the Gilded Kingdom about the mine. Although they would definitely lose some benefits, they would at least be able to take the opportunity to cozy up the Gilded Kingdom, which was at least better than wasting time here.

Elvis naturally wouldn’t let Sandev go just like that. He knew that there were definitely many people in the conference hall who shared the same thoughts as Sandev. If Sandev took the initiative to pull out, half the people in the conference hall would leave. Fortunately, after Elvis’ persuasion, coupled with the fact that Sandev did not want to fall out with the Mithril Alliance, they finally managed to make them stay.

“Since the Cartia Family was not the target of the Gilded Kingdom, and the Blackwater Swamp has been reduced to such a state, what is the real agenda of the Gilded Kingdom’s army?” Elvis looked at the crowd whose minds were obviously somewhere else below. He had no choice but to turn to look at Abrad and Rojet, whom he started discussing the topic with. As for the others, he decided to leave them be as long as they didn’t ask to leave.

“According to the latest intelligence, the team seems to be advancing towards the Levidan Canyon after pa.s.sing through the Blackwater Swamp. Could it be that they found some precious resources there that we don’t know about? Is that why they’re creating such a scene to occupy it first?” Abrad said in bewilderment as he stared at the map.

“Levidan Canyon? That’s the…” Rojet was just about to say how dangerous the Levidan Canyon was, but he immediately thought of the shocking change of the Blackwater Swamp, and was suddenly unable to finish his sentence.

“Resources that we don’t know about? That’s not impossible. After all, the people of the Gilded Kingdom and the Illuminati had also moved from land to overseas. They might have pa.s.sed some information down and recorded some things we do not know.” Elvis knew that when the Illuminati had been developing on land, they had been even more powerful than the Tower of Dusk during their prime. It was not surprising if such a power had pa.s.sed down some unknown information.

Of course, if the Gilded Kingdom’s army just wanted to find some resources, Elvis and the others would be relieved. Anyway, even if they knew some precious information, they would have no means of obtaining the items.

In the Levidan Canyon, there lived demons named Levidan which were rumored to have originated from the bottom of the abyss. Strictly speaking, Levidan demons were not extremely powerful, and they were at most at the Legendary-realm. Most of them were near the Legendary-level, and only a few could have Legendary-level power.

However, the Levidan demons had immortal bodies, and even the most powerful demons would have no means to do anything to them. Hence, they could live comfortably at the bottom of the abyss. No matter what means were used and regardless of whether they were beheaded, cut into pieces, or burned with fire, they would not die. Even the power of purification of the Holy Light Magic would only result in a pseudo-death, and the Levidans would revive after being left alone.

In addition, Levidan demons also had the ability to shape-s.h.i.+ft and produce clones at will, though there would not be much of an increase in strength. However, they could still spell trouble. Due to the fact that the replication was comprehensive, even their memories would be fully intact with no discrepancies at all. The mana would remain the same, just like the habits, so much that it would be difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

The Levidan demons in the Levidan Canyon had scurried out of the canyon at some time, but anyway, everyone knew that there should be a group of Levidans at the bottom of the abyss, thus giving rise to the name: Levidan Canyon.

“Perhaps it is the treasure hidden there before the Illuminati left the continent? Isn’t it true that no one has been able to figure out the origin of those Levidan demons?” Rojet suddenly asked, making a far-fetched conjecture. He thought that those Levidans from the bottom of the abyss had probably been released by the Illuminati back then, all for the sake of guarding the treasures that had been stored when the Illuminati left.

Upon hearing about a precious treasure and resources, those in the conference hall who had originally intended to stir some trouble immediately perked up. Some said that the resources belonged to all the people of the Breezy Plains, and could not be s.n.a.t.c.hed by the Gilded Kingdom. Some said that the treasure had to have been scavenged by the Illuminati, so the Illuminati ought to return it to them, and so on…

At this moment, the army of the Gilded Kingdom, which was the focus of debate among the factions, had already entered the Levidan Canyon without hesitation, as if they didn’t know the horrors of the Levidan Canyon. Perhaps they knew about them, but didn’t take them to heart.

In terms of scale, the Levidan Canyon might seem really ordinary in Anril, and was far from comparable to the Gargas Canyon in the north. In general, the Levidan Canyon seemed narrow and deep, so much so that sunlight couldn’t reach its bottom. Hence, it was very dim in the canyon, adding to its eeriness.

The people of the Gilded Kingdom got into a long snakelike line that seemed to wind through the canyon before disappearing into its depths. The spies of the alliance, however, had to stop at the entrance of the canyon. To them, the Levidan Canyon was no less dangerous than the Blackwater Swamp.

Do we follow them in? Or should we wait a little longer to see what happens? Nothing was as important as their own lives. After taking a look at the deep, dark, and gloomy canyon, the scouts decided to wait a little longer to see what happened. Although the Gilded Kingdom was leading the way, no one dared to guarantee that they would not leave one or two Levidan demons behind. Moreover, they might just get driven out by the Levidans soon after they entered. Or perhaps, like with the Blackwater Swamp, the Levidan Canyon might be flooded with salt because of the people of the Gilded Kingdom.

The group of scouts crouched at the mouth of the canyon, keeping their guard up in case of any movement around them, while the two mages in the middle each cast the Warlock’s Eyes, which flew into the canyon. Having been with the team for so long, they knew that as long as they didn’t go overboard, and did not disturb the people of the Gilded Kingdom, the latter wouldn’t waste time to deal with them. Hence, they simply used the Warlock’s Eyes to observe from afar. It wouldn’t matter even if they were discovered.

The two Warlock’s Eyes flew into the canyon, wobbling and following the traces left by the expedition from the Gilded Kingdom under the manipulation of the two mages. When they flew to a distance that was the limit of the mages, the Warlock’s Eyes finally transmitted the scene in the canyon that was incredibly shocking to them.

The Gilded Kingdom’s army finally faced the Levidans of the canyon. On the opposite side of the Gilded Kingdom’s army, there were numerous Levidans, which probably amounted to close to 10,000. Although the Levidans did not have incredible strength, that was in comparison with the Abyssal Demons at the bottom. In fact, the worst of the Levidans were around level-15, and there were hundreds of Legendary-level ones.

With such a huge number and incredible power, the Levidans would be a huge disaster for the Breezy Plains. The two mages who saw that scene through the Warlock’s Eyes suddenly had a strange thought in their hearts.

At this moment, the army of the Gilded Kingdom abruptly moved. In the face of the huge number of Levidans, the warriors of the Gilded Kingdom waved their weapons in their hands, and each one of them emanated navy blue Combat Energy as they killed the Levidans fearlessly. The entire battlefield was instantly in an uproar as the Levidan demons roared ferociously and the warriors yelled, the sounds of magic spells intertwining and reverberating in the deep canyon.

Despite knowing that the Levidans had immortal bodies, the mages who observed the battlefield through the Warlock’s Eyes realized that the Gilded Kingdom had used some means to cause great damage to Levidans. In this battle, the Levidans lost the immortality of their bodies as they were split open and blown apart easily. Black blood splattered everywhere, dying the canyon black.

Without their immortal bodies, the Levidans were like hedgehogs without spikes and tigers with their claws cut off. They could be considered to have lost their most powerful weapon. Moreover, even with the immortal bodies, their own defense was pathetic, and the removal of their immortality was akin to getting rid of all their defenses.

The battle which lasted just under an hour ended with tens of thousands of Levidans being slaughtered by the Gilded Kingdom’s army, and the battlefield seemed to have turned into the same state as the Blackwater Swamp as the rock walls were covered in black blood, while the ground was covered in the Levidans’ limbs.

The people of the Gilded Kingdom who were involved did not seem to have any reaction to it. Through the Warlock’s Eyes, the mages that had been observing the battle situation began throwing their guts up. Although they had gotten used to witnessing death as people of the Breezy Plains, it was their first time witnessing such a tragic scene. Those Levidan corpses turned into black mud in no time, which made it seem even more disgusting.

After the battle ended, the people of the Gilded Kingdom did not take any extra action. They simply stepped on the Levidan corpses indifferently, producing nauseous sounds that would be made when mud was stepped on. They continued to advance with no expression.

At this moment, the scouts had also found out about everything in the canyon through the mages’ description. After being shocked, they finally remembered their duties, immediately wrote down all the information they had obtained, and sent it back to the alliance using the tamed Flash Sparrow.

However, after sending the information, the scouts were stuck in a dilemma again, and they could not decide if they should risk following the army into the canyon again. Although the Gilded Kingdom’s group had already exterminated tens of thousands of Levidans, no one knew if there were still any left in the canyon. The Gilded Kingdom might have dealt with the Levidan demons easily, but the scouts of the alliance were clear of their own abilities. Although they had a lot of people, they would end up being tortured as long as one Levidan rushed into their group.

However, after hesitating for a long time, they had no choice but to bite the bullet, and carefully enter the Levidan Canyon. After all, it was their duty, and they had many other peers who were from other forces. Besides, no one knew if there were any guardians inside, and they could not bluff their way through at all. The alliance had sent so many scouts because the Gilded Kingdom’s team, which they had to keep an eye on, was just too strong, and they were worried that they would be perfunctory in their actions during the critical moment. Clearly, their approach worked.

Soon after the scouts entered the canyon with fear, the mage in the Mithril Alliance headquarters in the Breezy Plains who were responsible for delivering the news also entered the conference hall again with the latest piece of news.

“Tens of thousands of Levidans have been destroyed!”

“There is not a single casualty from the Gilded Kingdom!”
