Transcendent Dawn

ꨡ[6Ba~oA}6: Chapter 0776: Ruins (Seeking Subscriptions) Chapter 776: Chapter 0776: Ruins (Seeking Subscriptions) Early morning.

An adventurer squad set out on their journey.

Their team composition was rather peculiar, led by hero Jupiter, guided by a centaur, with two seasoned mercenaries—Polki and Uss, and finally a wandering woman, Dimon.

The single unifying feature of this team was that every member was a Super String Warrior, even the weakest Dimon had the power of a level one Superstring.

One could say that they were the cream of the crop in the Mercenary Guild.

The mission they had to bear was also immensely challenging.

“Let’s go!”

Giving the city one last look, Jupiter embarked on his expedition.

…

At the city gate, Heraclitus and Su Lu quietly watched them depart.

“My child…”

Heraclitus’s voice was deep: “May he be blessed with success.”

“Adventures always involve unexpected troubles, but I trust they will succeed…” Su Lu gave a blink, “Perhaps in later times…

all these will become legends…”

Just as the Kingdom of Hormone’s army was engaged in a desperate struggle around the Hormone-Qidun defense line with the beastmen from the south,

An inconspicuous squad bypassed the renowned military fortress and officially stepped into the territory of the northern beastmen.

First, they crossed the Blood Waste.

There, exiled centaurs and dog-headed men, formed small tribes, looting all living creatures that pass by.

The adventurer squad led by Jupiter struggled and trekked, guided by Ke Rong·Bloodhoof, and after six months hard journey, they finally left the waste and arrived in the city of Dewitt.

This city represents an important symbol.

It was built on the ruins of the first extinct Sea Tribe tribe led by Rite, and is currently a stronghold in the Hofman Dynasty.@@novelbin@@

Jupiter and the adventurers disguised themselves as beastmen, infiltrated the city, and met a beautiful lioness girl—Tavia!

The lioness has curly golden hair, and is lively and enthusiastic.

She is full of curiosity towards anything new and was highly interested in the adventurers from their first meeting.

Even after discovering their human identities, she didn’t expose them but rather offered help.

For this reason, she even broke with her father, Duke Brutus of the Lion People.

With Tavia’s help, Jupiter and his comrades replenished necessary supplies and successfully escaped from the city of Dewitt.

After another three months of hard travel, they finally arrived at a ruin.

It was the end point on the map, an Insect Clan ruin!

…

Stone ruins.

Vines climbing all around, spreading everywhere, creating a strange atmosphere of stone and plants coexisting.

Even after the erosion of years, the stone pillars here still faintly retain traces of their original polish.

A style different from both Beastmen and Humans, representing the civilization left by a great race.

“Finally…we’re here!”

Jupiter removed his cape and looked at his team.

In the previous city of Dewitt, they lost a team member, Uss, but lioness Tavia joined them.

It had to be said that the half-beast Lion People were even more attractive to men than Dimon.

“So this is the ruin of the insect race?”

Tavia also removed her cloak.

She was very scantily clad, with only a bandeau for a top.

Her curves were plump, her fluffy ears on top of her head quivered, full of curiosity.

Her tail swayed restlessly behind her, seemingly impatient.

“Yes…

the insect race.”

Jupiter looked around: “They were a great race that once enslaved the sea tribe and built a brilliant civilization.

Our target this time is their treasure—the Acute Angle Monument!

Tonight we rest on the outskirts and explore inside tomorrow.”

“The Acute Angle Monument?

I’ve heard my father talk about it…

the sea tribe was superstitious about it, expending too much manpower and resources in search of it, but gained nothing, which ultimately led to their destruction…”

Tavia widened her eyes: “Jupiter, so you were looking for it…”

The implication in her words was a lack of confidence in success.

After all, if the entire Sea Tribe couldn’t be found, the chance of a group of adventurers finding them was indeed slim.

“As long as there’s hope, we have to try!

And also…”

Jupiter clenched his fist, sparks flashing past.

He had a strong feeling that this adventurous journey would bring him enormous benefits.

Perhaps, his teacher’s intention was also to hone him and lead him on his own legendary path?

Night fell.

The campsite was silent, with only the crackling sound of the bonfire.

Inside the tent.

Jupiter’s eyes were closed tightly, and he seemed to hear a faint call:

‘Spotter, Spotter…’

“What…what’s this sound?”

Led by the voice, he arrived at the ruins.

A puff of grey mist appeared, continuously spreading out.

Then, he saw the network of vines around him rapidly receding, the fallen stone pillars stood up again, and the patterns on them were lighting up.

All around him, towering buildings, their peaks seemingly piercing the clouds.

Multicolored lights pervaded the sky above the city, with shadows flying past now and then, and powerful creatures landing on the ground.

On them, a terrifying aura was emitted that even the current Jupiter was shocked!

“Are those…

Insect Clan?”

Jupiter’s pupils shrank as he looked at a creature that was half-human and half-scorpion, realizing suddenly: “This…

this is the last grand scene of the Insect Clan?”

It had to be said, this sight was quite shocking.

Even for Jupiter, who had read widely, and traveled through the human and beast kingdoms, was deeply moved by the scene.

He felt as if the capital of the Kingdom of Hormone and the golden camp of the Hofman Dynasty were laughable like sandcastles built by children compared to this city of the Insect Clan.

“How did such a powerful Insect Clan…get exterminated…”

Jupiter was somewhat curious.

Suddenly, he saw a lot of sacrifices.

One after another, members of the Insect Clan excitedly transformed their lives into pure spirit orbs, rising to the sky.

They seemed to be chanting the name of a great being, wanting to merge with it, sharing its glory.

“That name…that name is…”

Jupiter tried to hear clearly, but he just couldn’t catch it.

Just then, a vague roar of indescribable anger came from his ear.

It was great, it was destruction, it was an unspeakable terror!

All of the Insect Clan spirit bodies were extinguished in an instant!

The ancient city was turned to ashes in a flash, leaving only remnants on this land.

After millions of years, only a shallow outline was left.

“Ah!”

Jupiter shouted out and woke up.

“Who?”

“What’s happening?”

A shadow flashed, and Tavia scrambled in, staring at Jupiter and asking.

I…”

Jupiter felt a liquid flowing from his ears and eyes, he wiped it, it was blood.

“I had a dream…but it was too real, terrifyingly real!”

He answered with a wry smile: “If the Insect Clan’s destruction really has something to do with that kind of existence, everything makes sense…”
