Rise of the White Dragon Chapter 296

"Leviathan, help me," Luan muttered as he made the Leviathan leave.

The rise of the Leviathan, which expanded to become so large that it nearly covered the entire Van Steffan Clan, took everyone by surprise.

The vampires were scared, but when they saw it was controlled by the man who came with Princess Lenore, they were less nervous but still cautious.

"No matter how many times I see it, it amazes me every time," Nora muttered.

Ingrid laughed, "If it surprises even you who live in a world very different from the land that just started to go through the apocalypse, imagine how it is for me."

The two started to talk a little until Luan called Lenore.

"Ready?"

Lenore nodded, "Yes."

"Okay." Luan took some of her blood.

After informing her of what she should do, he also gave Ingrid instructions.

In front of the tower entrance, Catharina was saying goodbye to Maira and the rest.

"Mom, don't worry, I'm strong, too…" She slapped Elias' broad back three times. "Despite being an idiot, Elias is strong, and there are Elite Squad members, I'll be fine, Mom."

"I know daughter, but I still worry." Maira pouted and hugged Catharina.

"Aunt Maira, I know I'm not as strong as Catharina, but know that I would give my life to protect her," Elijah said.

Maira could see how serious he was being and smiled a little. "I know, take good care of her." She hugged him.

The floor they were going to explore was 50, and from what they heard from Luan, it wasn't as simple as the previous floors. The risks they would take were higher, which means that they could end up dead if they're not careful enough.

Little Rikka came out from behind Maira and muttered something. Suddenly, the fairies came to them and surrounded the Elite Squad, Elias and Catharina. Soon, they had increased strength, even stamina, and Qi recovery.

"Thank you, little angel." Catharina knew at once that it was thanks to her. Crouching down, she kissed Little Rikka's cute face.

"Hehee~ Good luck, and come back soon." Her sweet voice melted Catharina's heart.

"Mwah, mwah~" Catharina was thrilled and kissed both sides of Little Rikka's cheek several times.

After reaching the 50th floor, they felt changes in their body, even the existence of something inside them. As Luan had warned before, they weren't surprised, but the feeling was strange.

Looking at the system that sold the items, one of the Elite Squad members muttered, "It doesn't look too different..."

"It doesn't matter, they buy survival supplements. Although Luan has given us a lot, it's always good to be prepared." Elijah said in an authoritative voice.

"Yes!" The members of the Elite Squad saluted soon after carrying out the order that was given to them.

Catharina did not need to do this. Being Luan's sister, she received many things that would save her life. She had enough to support a small country's economy.

After they had passed through the great gate, Catharina said as she waved her hand, "It's very hot in here."

If it weren't for them being cultivators, they would be dripping with sweat from the high temperature.

"Use Qi as Luan taught." Elijah reminded everyone.

Hearing this, they nodded and used the Qi to make the body cooler, so they weren't affected as much by the scorching heat.

"It's very quiet in here, not like Luan said." Catharina patted Elijah on the shoulder and said, "Go and ask what happened. We'd better know if something complicated is going on, and, if it is, we'll go back ashore."

"Err." Elijah scratched his head awkwardly, he was the leader, but he was being ordered. However, he did not contradict her,"I will."

Despite being empty, there were still some people of other races walking around the city, or even mothers and fathers taking care of children.

Approaching a couple. Elias asked for information.

Minutes later, he returned. "It's like this because there's a tournament going on in a nearby town. As the prizes are attractive, they went in search of the prize, or getting chance encounters, or trying to profit from this event."

"Let's go there." Catharina said after thinking for a moment, "Luan, Ingrid, and Lenore must have heard about this, so maybe they are in this town too."

"Yes, it is possible." Elijah agreed. He turned to the Elite Squad and said, "Come on, it's a few miles away, let's run."

"Yes!"

When they arrived in the City of Flowers, they learned that it had been a few days since the tournament started, and there would be no way for them to participate.

"It is a pity," Manuela muttered. Yet, despite that, she didn't look the least bit sad.

With their strength, and with Luan's help, Cultivation technique was what they lacked the least. The sole purpose of her wanting to participate, like the rest, was because of the experience they gained if they fought in a tournament.

"Assassin!"

Suddenly, someone screamed very loudly with a shrill scream.

This caught the attention of Elias, Catharina, and the rest.

Walking towards the crowd, they saw a young woman, who must have been under 30 years old, with her head cut off. The cut was clean and used ice to not bleed.

A man came flying and landed on the spot next to the body and roared to the heavens: "Cedrina!! Ahhh, bastard, who did this to my daughter?!?"

The Qi the man released was too strong, causing nearby people to be hurled away from the Qi wave.

The man was shaking with rage as he roared again, "Lock up the city, I want the murderer mutilated!"

Some people recognized the man. "It's the Patriarch of the City."

When they learned that it was the Patriarch's daughter who was killed, they began to sweat with fear. If the killer was not found, the Patriarch of the City of Flowers could take his anger out on them all.

As a being who was a False Emperor, despite being a false one, he was strong enough to manage to kill most of them.

"This smacks of trouble," Ezekiel muttered.

Blade slapped him on the head, "Idiot, of course, it's a problem. The City Patriarch's daughter was killed. Don't you think that if he isn't found, he's going to hold us all in this city for a long time until he finds the murderer?"

"... True." Mouse rubbed his head and nodded.

"Does not matter." Catharina said, "As long as you don't involve us in this, let's just wait."

Meanwhile, a round dome was encircled around the entire city.

It was meant to be used defensively, but it also kept them from getting out, which was the purpose this time.

"Let's find a place to stay." Before leaving, Catharina looked at the man who was holding the headless body and sighed, but there was nothing she could do.

Elijah and the rest agreed and followed her.

Before they left, they heard someone speak to the Patriarch, "Father, be calm." She wiped her tears, "Only by acting calmly will we find the culprit."

Elijah heard this and turned around and his brows arched as he looked at the girl. Even crying, he felt that there was something strange about her.

"Elias?" Catharina looked at him when she saw that he had stopped walking.

Looking forward again, Elijah said, "It's nothing." Then continued walking.
