Chapter 244 - Chapter 239: Infiltration

Although no one knew how Su'er knew, when he announced with great certainty to everyone that the Werebeast had left the continent and would not reappear for at least a few decades, everyone's hearts were indeed filled with joy and relief.

After all, besides the mindless wild beasts, the Werebeast were the only race that included Imanity in their diet, and they even hunted them with a plan and purpose. Coupled with their superhuman bodies and sensitive senses, the Werebeast had always been the nightmare of countless Imanity settlements during their food searches and expeditions over the long years.

There was nowhere to run, and no strength to fight back.

According to Su'er, these bloodthirsty butchers had all now left the continent because of the Siren's attacks. Although it sounded very comical, at that moment, many people indeed sent their thanks to the Siren from a distance.

The disappearance of the Werebeast increased the safety of Imanity's activities on the entire continent by a few notches. For other races, the only thing they needed to be wary of was the existence of beings with Elves on them. Even a race like the Siren, who needed blood, would not have too many ideas about Imanity. After all, when their food supply was guaranteed, they wouldn't do something like a traveler who had been walking in the desert for a few days without water, who would even drink the blood of a mouse to moisturize their dry throat.

Therefore, although Lenny's small team knew they had to speed up their actions, to be honest, they didn't have too much tension in their hearts. Of course, things definitely could not be neglected.

The target was the city that once belonged to the Werebeast, but was now occupied by the Siren, the former capital of the Werebeast—Wuyan.

The infiltration was complete.

After successfully conquering this city of the Werebeast and ingesting enough blood food, the Siren did not completely occupy it. These guys who were always seeking powerful blood once again advanced. After many of their clan members completed their growth rituals with the blood of the Werebeast, the Siren, who felt their power increasing, had already set their next target on the Elf, striving to grow into existences that even the Old Deus would be amazed by. This was a bit of a headache for Think after she received many reports.

Never feeling sympathy for the death of any enemy, and having abandoned all good-natured fantasies from the very beginning, all the plans that Su'er formulated with Think's assistance were based on weakening the living forces of other races as much as possible. After all, the fewer threats there were, the fewer dangers the Imanity who followed him would encounter when they scattered across the continent to execute the plan.

Of course, there was still some restraint for those races that would truly hold a grudge and die with everyone. The overall plan still maintained a great balance, so that one side would not truly overwhelm the other.

The tall wooden buildings, with the tallest house leaning against a huge mountain wall, looked very much like the architectural style of a certain island country in Su'er's previous life in terms of appearance. It was a spectacular sight built when the Werebeast's Old Deus was still around, and it was also the center of the entire city. The other Werebeast buildings were all built around it in a circle extending outwards—but now they all belong to the Siren.

Although they did not intend to use the capital of their defeated opponents as their main base, most of the Siren still wandered aimlessly on the continent, but the power of the Siren in this city still could not be underestimated.

Weaving through the streets, alleys, and the wreckage of broken houses, the four people including Lenny moved through the shadows, like a line of tiny ants. They even stopped from time to time to rummage through boxes and cabinets to find some food that had not yet gone bad and reusable supplies to stuff into the bags on their backs, as if they really knew nothing and were just here to collect resources.

Unless they flaunted themselves conspicuously in front of the Siren, these lazy guys were too lazy to specifically play with ants like Imanity. This was also the reason why some Siren had to be lured away before. The area that Lenny and the others were going to rush through was just too wide open, and in addition, Lenny and the others were carrying some things that were not so good.

Suddenly, Lenny, who was walking carefully forward, froze in his walking motion. However, this unusual behavior did not cause any tension or fear in the other three people. They just skillfully and quickly walked to Lenny side and stood guard. It was very obvious that this was not the first time such an abnormality had occurred.

The abnormality on Lenny's body did not last for too long. After a moment of stiffness, he stood up straight again and began to look around, and at the huge building and the sky in the distance. His originally black pupils had turned golden at some point, but they faded back after a short while.

[It's not an illusion.]

When his consciousness came back, Lenny could still hear Su'er's voice lingering in his mind.

'Received, continue moving,' Lenny replied silently in his mind and made a few gestures to his companions who were looking at him, indicating that everything was normal.

They didn't know if there were any Siren who were full and bored and wanted to flood an ant hole secretly watching them, nor did they know if they, who were shouldering a heavy responsibility, had already fallen into the Siren's environment. Without the ability to use the items with Elf that Think had made to confirm, the only way was for Su'er to descend his will onto Lenny body, observe everything outside with his extra perspective, and compare it with the scene in Lenny consciousness to confirm if it was safe.

Even though Lenny and the others felt a bit of tension and worry after stepping into this city, they still unhurriedly ransacked their way in one direction. They kept going until the edge of the city, where they could vaguely see the distant ocean. There was a very simple-looking building there, which was their destination for this trip.

The name was Maritime Protector Mansion. It was originally a military institution established by the Werebeast to deal with disasters coming from the sea. Now that all the Werebeast had withdrawn, it had become an empty building. Perhaps in a few decades, it would become a paradise for all kinds of wild beasts, flowers, and insects, but now it still maintained the solemnity of a military institution.

Because Maritime Protector Mansion was too close to the ocean and was on the edge of the city, the Siren obviously had no interest in this place. Therefore, when they finally arrived after a long period of anxiety, Lenny and the others were visibly relieved.

It didn't matter what the Werebeast had built here or what they had used it for. The real reason that Su'er noticed this place was only one—the last place the creator of the Werebeast was before he returned to eternal sleep was right here.

And it was also here that that Old Deus violently unleashed his last blow before he died, the most powerful blow that was meant to destroy everything.
