Chapter 604: 589 Sacrificial Cult (I)

Currently, I am still riding Leona and we are high up in the air but even at the high altitude, the pressure that seems to be building up is pretty strong that it's a wonder how the angels have yet to detect the weird phenomena happening around here. Might be because most angels tend to ignore ruins as they are the guys who leave the past as the "past" that shouldn't be looked back upon. Once it is forgotten, it will be forever forgotten by the people. Only if it involves the Goddess of Life would the angels take action and preserve the memory otherwise, it is destined to rot even if it was something like a lost technology for the past few years. Weird but this is their culture which is why people who like exploring and finding relics of the past will get lots of hauls in exploring abandoned ruins.

p The pressure building up around is quite troublesome and I am still not sure how this bypassed the eyes and ears of the angels when the enemies are situated not too far from them. It might be because of my passives or perhaps Leona's presence that resisted the pressure that I felt the pressure is quite less compared to the time I experienced it in the past timeline. The pressure is so great that walking a few steps would make you lose your stamina really quickly and you would be grasping for air, making walking around a big chore.

I have a cloak that resists the pressure but it wasn't that effective. It is only meant to resist a few of its effects so that when the fighting wouldn't be as troublesome as walking but it isn't really that groundbreaking and it only helps not getting tired faster while under the influence of the dark pressure that is present all around the place. I didn't equip it yet since we have not landed just yet but even without it, I am not feeling the same heaviness as before. I can understand Leona as she became a dark-type creature after forming a battle form with Atlas, allowing her to easily resist anything related to any dark-type element attacks or effects.

As for me, I don't have any idea what allowed me to resist it but I will accept it without hesitation. Who would say no to the extra resist?

Before I let Leona land, I opened the map I created specifically in this area of the Luminous Continent based on what I remember. I have to make sure that I am not wrong on where I should go as I don't want to waste my time exploring different areas without getting to my goal which is to end the expedition as soon as possible.

On the map, there are 12 ruins available in the area. My target is to raid the hidden bases of the cult situated here on these ruins and four of them are the hidden bases. There are five bases the cult has and 4 of them are hidden where all of their techs and different stuff they usually use to spread the scourge are currently placed. In the past timeline, we made a mistake and raided the main base first and that leads to the leader of the cult unleashing all the trouble from the hidden bases, creating a second wave of a monster invasion. To stop that said invasion, we have to fight hordes of enemies that poured out from these hidden bases.

Now I don't know if it was in a different place this time but I am quite sure that there is one right next to the hill in the past timeline. Not sure right now but we will have to see whether my assumption is correct or wrong.

"Land me over that hill, Leona. Be a little bit quiet while landing so that we won't get noticed by the enemies."

Quietly, Leona landed me on the hill that I mentioned where I suspect the first hidden base is currently located. I marked it on the map so I am pretty sure this was the place. Once Leona delivered me safely back to the ground, I recalled her to avoid getting detected in case the base is located right where I expected it to be located. After doing so, I went and started looking for the ruins, and soon enough, I discovered the entrance covered with vines. I didn't find it easy compared to before due to the vines. In the past timeline, it is already open for everyone to see after the monsters just bulldozed the heck out of the vines hanging on the entrance.

"[You have discovered the Entrance of the Underground Laboratory I]"

Oh? Looks like my assumption is indeed correct. This is clearly the entrance of a ruin but instead of "Entrance of the Ruins", the one that is displayed is the Entrance of the Underground Laboratory with a roman numeral I at the very end. That only means this was indeed the right place.

This was supposed to be the ruins of the ancient civilization of the angels. Yes, supposed to be. Now that it became a hideout for the Cult, I doubt anything related to the ancient civilization of the angels is still present here. It was a well-known fact that angels will disregard anything that the previous civilization have and follow only what was currently up. Everything that belonged to the past, will remain in the past, no matter how important it is. Well, if it is related to the Goddess of Life, then things might be different as they will immediately make a move to preserve it. That's how loyal and devout believers they are in the goddess of life.

Due to this behavior of theirs, players tend to remember that they will not care about any ruins meaning, everything that was left behind by the ancestors of the angels whether they are sacred tools or beings or anything that are advanced and useful unless they are related to the Goddess of Life, then you will be in for big hauls of treasure.

Now then, with the first base found, it is time to destroy this place and cripple the cult.
