Chapter 409 – Inside the Hill of Swords
This! Was this the Giant Spirit Formation that Saint Marie of the Hill of Swords mentioned?
The scene before him was so bizarre that it immediately gave Sean a sense of impending crisis. Almost instinctively, he stomped hard with his feet in an attempt to leap out of the encirclement formed by the surrounding gigantic rocks with Saint Marie, escaping from this so-called Giant Spirit Formation!
However! It seemed he was a step too late!
If it were normal times, with this jump Sean could have at least leapt several meters high and darted tens of meters away in a flash. But now, he actually couldn’t jump up!
Three meters?
Two meters?
One meter?
No!
Not even half a meter!
Sean was shocked to discover that as the Giant Spirit Formation suddenly activated and the surrounding gigantic rocks started rolling, the attractive force at the peak of the Hill of Swords seemed to have increased exponentially in an instant, like an extremely powerful magnet that forcibly adhered him to the giant rock under his feet. With his attempted leap, he couldn’t even reach half a meter in height!
It was less than what an ordinary person could jump from flat ground!
Damn! Sean had never encountered such a freakish situation in his life. His face was ashen as he became somewhat flustered, trying several more times before despairingly realizing…
Damn!
The more he jumped, the lower he went!
That first jump less than half a meter was actually the highest he could manage!
“Once inside the Giant Spirit Formation, you are doomed to be backlashed by the Sword of God and become a sacrifice to the Sword of God!”
“Hehe!”
“You can’t escape!”
The speed at which the surrounding gigantic rocks rolled grew faster and faster, and the mysterious attractive force under his feet also increased correspondingly. Seeing Sean completely trapped by the Giant Spirit Formation, a smile slowly spread across Saint Marie’s lips. The pride and smugness in her eyebrows and eyes were evident as she said softly:
“To nourish the fading Sword of God with the bloodline and vital energy of a Bright Realm expert will surely be greatly beneficial. Your trespassing of the Hill of Swords is the best punishment for you!”
“Resign yourself!”
“To become a sacrifice to the Sword of God is the greatest honor of your life!”
Crack!
Right after Saint Marie’s words fell, Sean’s right hand clutching her neck exerted a bit of force. A brittle cracking sound rang out as he nearly choked her to death on the spot!
The Sword of God?
With Saint Marie mentioning the Sword of God left and right, it only confirmed Sean’s earlier guess!
It seemed that there really was a Sword of God hidden within this Hill of Swords!
“Resign myself?”
After trying fruitlessly several times, Sean decisively gave up struggling. Standing on that giant rock, he looked back at the weakened yet smug Saint Marie and snorted coldly, “Even if I’m truly going to die, you will definitely die before me!”
“Definitely!”
“I’d like to see how the Sword of God will devour me!”
Since he couldn’t escape, he might as well go with the flow and see what happens next. With Saint Marie still in his grasp, Sean was very curious what else this Giant Spirit Formation could do to him!
“You…”
“You…”
Saint Marie wanted to speak, but with Sean clutching her throat, she no longer had the ability to talk!
Very soon!
As time ticked by second by second, as the speed at which the surrounding gigantic rocks rolled grew faster and faster, as the attractive force from within the Hill of Swords intensified continuously, after about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea!
Suddenly!
A deafening rumble sounded, as if some large mechanism had been triggered. Just like before, the entire Hill of Swords shook violently once more, and the giant rock under Sean’s feet abruptly plunged downwards like an elevator!
Finally, is it coming?
Sean’s heart stirred slightly, but he was not panicked, because he had already guessed that the mysterious attractive force originated from within the Hill of Swords. If it truly came from the so-called Sword of God, then the Sword of God must also be hidden in the belly of the Hill of Swords!NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Therefore! When Saint Marie said she would offer Sean as a sacrifice to the Sword of God, she naturally had to first bring Sean into the interior of the Hill of Swords!
It was very possible that Cecilia and Phyllis had mysteriously disappeared for the same reason earlier!
Perfect.
He could take this opportunity to find them…
…
At that time!
At the foot of the Hill of Swords,
Although Sean and Saint Marie’s figures could no longer be seen, the scene of Saint Marie being violently beaten by Sean still lingered in everyone’s minds, replaying over and over like a nightmare that couldn’t be dispelled!
Ernest Mason lay sprawled on the icy floor of the grey arena like a pile of mud, his body rigid and expression dazed, completely lacking his previous domineering aura and high spirits. Trevor Mason and the others also sat slumped beside him. It took a long while before Trevor finally swallowed hard and gradually came back to his senses from the despair. He asked with immense worry, “Saint Marie… is she…”
“Could she have been…”
“Been…”
Trevor stammered as if he couldn’t speak clearly! Or rather, didn’t dare say it too clearly!
Even a fool could see that Saint Marie was completely no match for General Wolf Sean. In his rage, would Sean directly take Saint Marie’s life in their solo fight?
If Saint Marie was killed by Sean…
Then what would they do???
The old Complete Stagers looked towards Ernest Mason with the same unspoken question in their eyes. This was also their biggest concern right now. But Ernest Mason opened his mouth without knowing how to answer!
You’re asking me?
Damn!
Who the hell should I ask???
Boom boom boom!
At this moment, deafening rumbles sounded once more. The just calmed Hill of Swords shook violently again, the earth quaking and mountains swaying as rocks tumbled down, damaging several parts of the pathways built atop the Hill of Swords!
Shaking again???
Still shaking???
Will it ever stop???
Damn!
Damn!
Damn!
The fight between General Wolf Sean and Saint Marie at the peak of the Hill of Swords was really causing too loud and intense tremors, shaking the entire Hill of Swords relentlessly!
“Here it comes again!”
“Run!”
“Quick, run! Saint Marie is no match for that guy. It’ll be too late if we don’t run before he comes down the mountain!”
The renewed quaking of the Hill of Swords once again caused huge waves of panic amongst the massive crowds. But this time, the commoners of Swordland would no longer heed the orders of Ernest Mason and the others!
Fleeing for their lives was most important!
Thus! The surging crowds of tens of thousands were like roaring rapids as they madly ran down the mountain. In just a few short minutes, eighteen or nineteen out of twenty had already fled, leaving only a few hundred who seemingly couldn’t let go of their hopes. After running a few hundred meters, they couldn’t help but stop and turn back towards the Hill of Swords to gaze from afar!
Moreover! Among these few hundred, the majority were outsiders who cultivated dark energy!
Ernest Mason and the others did not flee!
Five minutes later!
When the tremors of Hill of Swords gradually subsided, Ernest Mason stood up, took a deep breath, as if making a decision, gritted his teeth and said, “This wait-and-see approach won’t work!”
“Hill of Swords!”
“It’s our life!”
“Without it, we will lose all our advantages and will soon be replaced by other families and external forces coveting Swordland. We might even be wiped out before we can even form the Hall of Swords!”
“So!”
“Come with me to check out the situation inside the Hill of Swords cave, then go to the end of the corridor to see the safety of Saint Marie…”
After saying that! Ernest Mason marched down the gray platform without hesitation and strode towards the entrance of the corridor!
“This…”
Trevor Mason and the other elders looked at each other. Although they were a little reluctant, just as Ernest Mason said, the survival of Hill of Swords and the safety of Saint Marie were indeed related to the future and fate of all of them!
So! They had no choice but to stand up and reluctantly follow along. What they didn’t know was that at the moment they entered the corridor, General Wolf Sean and Hill of Swords Saint Marie had already fallen together into the belly of Hill of Swords!!!
In fact!
The inside of Hill of Swords was hollow!
Concealing wonders within!
The huge boulder carrying Sean and Hill of Swords Saint Marie plummeted vertically for hundreds of meters before suddenly spinning in midair, flinging Sean and Hill of Swords Saint Marie down forcefully!
Then! The boulder returned along the original path, whizzing back up with a swoosh. A moment later, with a loud rumbling noise, apparently the boulder had returned to its original position, reappearing at the top of Hill of Swords, sealing off the entrance!
Even Sean was dumbfounded by the bizarre nature of the Giant Spirit Formation, which completely refreshed his worldview and cognition of this world. A boulder with a diameter of several meters, rising and falling freely without any assistance or support, like an elevator, flying around the belly of the mountain, something so outrageous that no one would dare brag about,
Yet it happened right before Sean’s eyes!!!
However! What amazed Sean the most was not the huge boulder that acted like an elevator. It was the scene inside the mountain belly!
Looking down! At a glance! With just one glance! As the scene in the mountain belly was reflected in Sean’s eyes, his pupils instantly dilated! Bigger and bigger! Expanding to the maximum!
His eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets!
The shaft the boulder descended was about ten meters in diameter and hundreds of meters long, already astounding enough. But compared to the scene below, it was nothing!
From where Sean and Hill of Swords Saint Marie were flung off by the boulder, the interior space of Hill of Swords suddenly expanded dramatically, easily over ten times larger, the diameter instantly increasing from the dozen meters of the shaft to over a hundred meters!
From top to bottom!
From the sides to the center!
Constantly narrowing!
It looked like… how to put it, it looked like the shape of a giant sword!!!
Standing at the foot of Hill of Swords and looking up at the mountain, the whole mountain was like a sky-piercing sword, inserted in the center of Swordland. Only after entering the interior cavity did Sean realize in shock that the so-called Hill of Swords was just a hollow giant sword model. The mountain made of hundreds of meters of thick rock was merely a “skin”!
The dozen-meter wide, hundred-meter deep shaft above was the hilt!
The enormous space thousands of meters below was the blade!
The entire interior was in the shape of a sword!!!
Damn!
Damn!
Damn!
Sean’s heart churned up monstrous shockwaves as he looked at everything before him in disbelief, even forgetting that he was plunging down under the dual effects of free fall and the mysterious attraction after being flung off by the boulder!
Plunging down!
Plunging down!
Plunging down without stop!
And in the process, Sean could vaguely see people below, more than one, with a sword suspended among them, emitting dazzling rays of light!
A sword!
Radiating endless charm!!!
The entire interior space was layered over with hundreds of meters of rock, it should have been pitch black, yet now it was as bright as daylight, all due to the dazzling light emanating from that sword!
And!
That mysterious and unfathomable enormous attraction also seemed to originate from that sword!
Could that be the legendary Sword of God???
Damn!
Sure enough, it was extraordinary, awe-inspiring to an astounding degree, even more so than when Sean saw King Ron take out the Sword of Emperor!
One sword!
Radiance like the sun, emanating endless allure!!!
After plunging for a good ten minutes, when Sean and Hill of Swords Saint Marie were just a hundred meters from the ground, Sean suddenly summoned the vigorous dark energy from his core, forcibly resisting gravity and the attraction, suspending himself in midair!
A hundred meters!
This close, as Sean looked down, he could already clearly see the situation on the ground!
That sword could wait!
The radiance was too bright! Up close, Sean simply could not look at it directly with the naked eye!
However!
There were indeed people around that sword, many people, at a rough glance at least dozens, all dressed in white robes and black hair over their shoulders like the Hill of Swords Saint Marie Sean had captured!
Women!
All women!
At that moment!
At that time!
Those women in white robes sat around the sword in the lotus position, sitting on cushions, seeming to be meditating. Dozens of women sitting together under the dazzling rays emitted by that sword, the scene was truly shocking!
“Master…”
“Master!”
Hill of Swords Saint Marie was as if grabbing onto a lifeline, immediately somewhat agitated, desperately uttering a whisper: “Save… save me…”
Master???
Hearing Hill of Swords Saint Marie’s address, Sean’s heart skipped a beat, thinking this was bad. It looked like the group of women below were indeed in the same gang as the Hill of Swords Saint Marie he had in hand!
Damn!
He had only beaten up one Saint Marie, but had he poked the hornet’s nest of the Saint Maries???
