The Conquerors Path

Chapter 373 373-Zooming Into The Past.

"A city?"

Sabrina spoke with wide eyes as she gazed at the marvelous city that lay half-ruined, its buildings dyed black and red, yet the beauty of the past still shines, the entire area of the city was plastered with several high-rise buildings, indicating that the city was extremely developed, on the center of it kept at the highest position was a black ominous palace built beautifully.

After both of the kept walking they arrived at a cave-like opening which shed some light, thus ending up looking at the magnificent city laying in rubbles of the past,

"Crour-Si-Bhel"

Austin spoke suddenly, gazing at the city with narrowed eyes,

"Pardon?"

Sabrina asked not catching on to the word,

"It's the name of the city"

He said as he looked at Sabrina,

"From now onwards stick close to me, if you wish to live that is"

Saying so he started to walk down the area, moving towards the trail that leads to the gates of the city, while Sabrina heeding his warning stuck close to him as she followed behind,

"How come such a city was forgotten?"

She asked,

"You shall find your answers inside the city"

Austin said as his focus and attention were everywhere,

"From here on, we will be facing the true devils, elves capable of truly taking control of blood, ones with true intellect"

Hearing this caused Sabrina's expression to turn serious, and her senses spread around, while she kept several of her life-saving treasures on active mode, she even lightly tapped into the power she rarely uses.

The path forward was muddy and croaked, the entire open area just had enough light to keep things right, it was stuck in the moody atmosphere, making the city seem more spooky than it should be, thankfully they didn't face any dangers while walking, within minutes they had reached the humongous gate that kept the horrors of the city confined within.

The gate was brown in color, and drawings representing elves were spread about, each other seemingly holding within their hands floating blood while looking down at the whole world in arrogance, ancient elven language was written on the gate,

"The greatest city of all now holds the remains of horrors, do not enter if you wish to live, for once you enter there is no return"

Sabrina said reading out the warning words smeared around the beautiful ones, seemingly indicating that the writer didn't have much time while he wrote this, soon the familiar sense of mana twisting was felt and the eyeball that appeared at the beginning made its appearance again,

"You have reached within the gates that hold the elven lineage's greatest power yet its greatest curse"

The voice sounded out from the eyeball, its eye now heavily focused on Austin,

"Looks like humans have given birth to a monster"

"Rude"

Austin replied to the words of the eyeball with a light teasing smile,

"The power of destruction, I have never felt a such pure killing force from anything but do not get arrogant, even with such power entering inside here would only lead you both to death"

The eyeball spoke with a convinced tone,

"So, you didn't expect for us to reach till here?"

Sabrina asked,

"Yes, I had just wanted the two of you to feel the horror that just snuggles within the tunnel, to make you understand the worth of what I should have told you"

As it finished speaking the eye seemed to fluctuate as an image popped from its center making a screen-like projection, within it showed the city at its peak, radiating beauty, peace, and majesty,

"This was the city of blood, known as Crour-Si-Bhel"<novelnext> </novelnext>

Saying till here the image started to move, showing the city on a wider scale, unlike the current atmosphere the sky above was blue, the clouds floating about while beautiful elves frolicked around and moved, each of the having a hint of blood color on them, but unlike the ones seen on the abominations the duo fought, this red gave a sense of beauty to the elves.

Powerful-looking elves in armor moved around the city keeping peace and tranquility, everyone looked happy, content, and lively. The screen also showed many of the people bowing towards the palace respect at times while walking,

"The hidden city of the elves, holding the greatest of its kind, the Blood Elves"

The eye spoke, the screen flicking to show a training group where several children could be seen playing around with red blood, trying hard to get control over them, their innocent and fun laughter being heard,

"No elf was ever born with the power over blood, it all originated from the Ancestral Blood Elf, Abelardo, the one great monarch and ruler of blood"

"Not every elf was of this city holds blood power, only the greatest chosen was allowed to enter, they being given a hint of his power, being allowed to rule over blood itself"

The scene flickered to several elves, each looking extremely powerful, humbly standing outside the open gate not even saying a word as they waited for permission, all of them seemingly desiring to enter the city and gain the recognition of the Eleven Monarch of blood,

"This took place during the Era before the Great War that embroiled the world, a time where the world wasn't restricted and mighty beings that towered over many stood, a time when freedom was nigh"

The screen flickered again, showing the great expanse of land and several species moving around, all of them in harmony, while they seemed highly developed, much better than the current situation,

"Among the several monarchs of elves, the Blood Monarch stood as one of the strongest, he being respected and loved by all his people"

The screen flickered zooming into the city through the streets to directly into the palace, passing through the palace gates, the humongous hall, reaching into a huge throne room, with heavy pillars holding the ceiling, and sitting on it was a man with shadow cast over him, his face unseen, the only thing that could be seen was his lean body as he sat there arrogantly on the throne with his lag above another, and his head on his knuckles kept at the throne.

Just two red blood eyes were seen from the shadow, bringing goosebumps not just to Sabrina but Austin also,

'System, what the hell is this?! this wasn't there in the information you gave me!'

'System?'

'System?'

[This is a past you should learn about, plus no matter how much you pay, the history about the time before the great war can never be brought]

A sound of cracking was all that filled Austin's head,

'But you should have at least given me a heads up!'

[Sigh.....I can't]

Hearing so Austin's brows furrowed,

'A restriction?'

[Yea]

'Um...'

[Do you think that I will lead you to your doom?]

'No, you have been too helpful to me, without you I should have died a long time ago'

Austin directly replied, it was the truth, without the system he wouldn't have gotten his perfect body, without the system he wouldn't have the information he needs to go after certain targets, and without the system, all of his success wouldn't have taken place, else he would have died miserably someday, Austin couldn't begin to tell how much help the system was to him.

Sure the system had hidden some things from him, yet it had never tried to hurt him and it never lied to him, even the information about this city was correct, just it didn't give any details about the Blood monarch, all he knew was that the city was ruled by someone,

[Good then don't worry and go with your flow, no harm shall come to you]

Hearing the system words Austin relaxed a bit, though he wasn't completely tension free, he might not know much about the era before the great war but he knew some small points, it was the era of complete freedom, and no boundary was placed on power, no power systems and monstrous creations that the Goddess had created first roamed the lands, populating the world, creating a society,

'Luna, I miss that little wolf'

Suddenly he thought of Fenrir, the little wound God eater that Austin had picked up, she would have a lot of answers to his question of course even Orpheus might know better but something was telling Austin that it wasn't better to ask her.
