New Life, New Task: I'll Be A Mom Then!!!

The lighting on the 3rd level immediately flickered and most of the things on the study cabinets had already fallen to the ground.

It took time for Eli to receive an update from her earth fairies before her face flashed with a serious light.

"The curse beasts had been awakened and they were heading towards the battlefield." She uttered.

"Oh no… this would not be good on our side!" Wisey and Baobao wore an anxious expression.

"We better hurry. The longer we stay here, the less chance that we can go early and help them at the crucial point."

Eli decisively took the token and moved forward, she also sent a number of earth fairies to observe the situation above the surface.

Using the Pope's token, she tried to open the mechanism of the restricted area.

Chacha!

Brrrrr…

Fortunately, the mechanism reacted to the token on Eli's hand and the entrance to the secret area was revealed.

Plip…plop…

The eerie dripping of water and the moldy scent of the place was the first thing that the trio noticed.

"Master… there's a passageway leading down below…" Baobao sniffed in the air and immediately informed Eli.

"Let's go…" Eli replied and walked straightforwardly.

"There were clearly trap mechanisms on the wall but it seems that as long as we carry the Pope's token, we are safe! What a cheat!" Wisey also observed the surroundings and noticed several hostile traps along the way.

"Indeed… These array traps were really vicious. Luckily, we are safe here." Baobao also commented, they could not help but rejoice in their hearts that they have miraculously obtained the token without any effort.

They could not imagine how this mission would raise the difficulty multiple times that they are experiencing right now.

"We have arrived!" Eli paused and looked at another door. It seems like this would be the most secret place inside the laboratory.

Eli immediately expected the door and found the mechanism to open it once again using the Pope's token. In an instant, a clean yet unmanned laboratory welcomed their vision.

"This place…" Eli looked around and saw that the place was still kept clean but it was clear that it had not been used for a long time.

"It's already been cleaned as if there was no more use of this laboratory…" Eli frowned, she expected to see something going on in this place but the scene around her confused her greatly.

"Let's take a look at these things…" Wisey immediately flew to the area where the records of experimentation were and tried to fish out more information.

However, after looking for a while, she sighed at the volume of information they had to read before jumping to a conclusion.

Eli also looked around and tried to discover if there are more mechanisms to be revealed in the room but to no avail.

"Let's take the records with us… we surely cannot read these things at this moment." In the end, Eli chose to take the information up at the moment and join the fight upstairs.

But just as they were about to leave the place, Baobao's nose detected something and immediately alerted the two, "Master!"

"What's the matter?" Eli looked over and asked only to see Baobao sniffing something on the stone bed.

"Something is in here… I believe. There are scents that linger here…" Baobao hesitated but still answered.

"The stone bed?" Eli's brows furrowed, and she completely ignored the stone bed because upon seeing this, the bloody memories of Elise being tortured on a stone bed flooded her mind involuntarily.

As such she subconsciously created an aversion towards it.

"Baobao buddy, are you sure? Stone beds are usually the place where they open up people for experiments. That is maybe why you could detect some scents in it." Wisey asked.

"But the scent… although not strong… still had a faint trace of life," Baobao said as he repeatedly sniffed the stone bed.

"Let's take a look…" Eli saw the certainty in Baobao's round dark eyes and so she looked at the stone bed and approached reluctantly.

Bending down to touch the cold stone bed, horrible memories of Elise flashed into her mind and she immediately became pale. This was something she never had expected to occur to her.

The things that happened to Elise, the horror, and the pain she encountered were directly attacking her at this moment.

'What is happening?' She was confused. 'Could it be the attack of the enemy?'

But because she was pressed for time, she forcefully gritted her teeth and continued searching through the stone bed.

–

Moments before Eli was struggling inside the secret room, the battlefield in the temple square was now turning for the worst.

"You b*stars Abaddon and Gabriel, you were the traitors all along!" Rashnu looked towards the bloodied Abaddon and Gabriel who were struggling to maintain their positions against the three remaining captains.

With great effort, the two of them along with their allies and Kayden's forces were able to take down four of the captains and even took out all of the lower and high-ranked priests.

Now there's only the Cardinal, Uriel, Rashnu, and Ecanus who remained standing on the higher echelons. However, they still had many troops behind them while the other side was already clearly exhausted.

Abaddon and Gabriel looked at the battlefield around. Their hearts sank, for they have truly underestimated the scale of the operation.

Earlier, they thought that they would be able to take advantage of the illusion within a span of five minutes.

But who would have thought that the hateful Rashnu would break through the illusion at the three-minute mark?

That two-minute discrepancy was the crucial factor for Gabriel's side to be in this situation.

They planned to wipe out half of the enemy in the first stage of the fight but did not expect that they would only be able to wipe out a quarter.

With no way to delay any further, Abaddon and Gabriel immediately made a move on the nearest priest and captain with them and managed to take down a few before the rest came to their senses.

After that, the tables turned and it now became a grueling struggle on the attacker's side.

"Struggle no more… this is your end." Rashnu glared at the two captains and the rest of their allies.

Although he was surprised to discover the two are real traitors, his heart is rejoicing. Now he had a chance to really kill them!

Uriel and Ecanus did not have such thoughts toward Abaddon and Gabriel. They only thought that they had to be subdued because they rebelled.

"Talk less and fight!" Abaddon spat the blood coming out of his mouth and wielded the azure cold blade once again.

His bulky body was filled with wounds at the moment and there was a scary deep wound on his left eye. Gabriel is in no good shape as well.

His left hand was already limp as there was a grave wound on his shoulders, but still, he took the spear in his right hand and used his armpit to clip it securely.

Their bodies were wounded but their eyes were filled with fearlessness.

At the moment, all they could think about is to bring as much damage as possible to the cardinal and the rest. Only that will they be able to atone for their incompetence in allowing these evil people to defile the temple.

Kayden, Nalu, and the rest of the warriors were also worried, the two captains were already facing four enemies in an imbalance battle but they were still occupied by the troops around.

The Cardinal on the other hand looked at Abaddon and Gabriel with hatred and disappointment. These two were considered the strongest among the ordained captains, and it was very evident in the situation around him that their capabilities were not to be trifled with.

But in face of his big army, how could their puny army and a flimsy number of allies compare?

The only thing that really displeases him at the moment was that they lost too much of this battle. He could not afford to lose any more resources and people at this point, or else…

The wrath of Lord Raven will be showered upon him!

Realizing that a ruthless light flashed in the eyes of the Cardinal as he looked at the three remaining captains.

"Cause no more delays and finish the fight! The longer this struggle is, the more losses there will be on our end!"

Simultaneously his hand moved to take out something from this space pouch. In his hand was a cristal bottle of translucent purple potion.

Kayden's eyes flashed, for he was very familiar with this potion! This was the potion used to awaken the beast in the underground!

"Not good! They are awakening the beasts below!" Kayden's heart sank as he shouted to warn everyone.

When Abaddon and the rest heard these words, they were stunned, and finally, a trace of anxiousness appeared on their faces.

It seems like this operation was really a suicide mission!
