Chapter 324 Where is Dolores? (5)

Like Holt, Apu was also running around after escaping from the palace.

The palace is too dangerous now. If you are not careful, you will die. After sensing the movement here, Apu did not hesitate at all and immediately flew here at the fastest speed. It was because it was always safer with more people, at least there would be more cannon fodder and scapegoats.

Along the way, Apu did not dare to stop for even a second, and even the severed head was held in Apu's hand, and he did not have time to put it on his neck. When Apu finally got closer, he was shocked to find that the battle was in full swing, with the sound of magic roaring and the sound of swords and guns clashing.

This scene also made Apu feel a little confused. They were all in an alliance now, so why did they suddenly turn against each other? If it was when they were dividing up Ron's treasure, this situation would be understandable, but now Ron was alive and well.

Apu was confused and frowned at the head in his hands.

At this moment, a figure suddenly flew over from the front.

After getting closer, Apu was shocked to find that it was none other than Archbishop Virgil, the most loyal, caring and trusted one among his subordinates.

But now Virgil was covered in blood and his face was filled with extreme fear. He stopped when he was about ten meters in front of Apu. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Apu holding his head in one hand. His voice suddenly became sharp: "Your Holiness, what happened to you?"

The head held in the hand opened its mouth: "It doesn't matter, tell me, what happened just now, why did we fight among ourselves first?"

Virgil's expression quickly turned into grief and indignation. "I am incompetent. Please punish me, Your Holiness. Although I was trembling with fear and did not dare to slack off, that old bastard Holt was too insidious and still poisoned the food we prepared."

"Now, at least half of the members of the Dawn Knights and the Inquisition have lost their magic power due to the poison."

"The magicians under Dominic and the private soldiers under Smullet were even more so. The two could not tolerate this and brazenly attacked Holt and the Royal Guards."

Apu's face suddenly changed, and he felt his heart suddenly jump, and two streams of blood spurted out from the cut on his neck.

"Holt, that guy actually did that?" Apu's head asked in a hoarse voice a few seconds later.

"Yes, Dominic and Smullet asked about this matter in person, and that old bastard Holt did not deny it." Virgil said quickly: "Archbishop Carlo was also there and heard the conversation with his own ears."

Carlo, that is Apu's most trusted confidant.

At this point, Apu no longer had any doubts in his mind.

Just like Dominic and Smullet... no, the depression and anger accumulated in Apu's heart were even stronger. He was beaten by Christian and attacked by Diana, and almost lost his life. One can imagine the anger in Apu's heart. He didn't expect that just after arriving here, he would hear the news that his men were poisoned by Holt.

He didn't have many men left to begin with. If they were all killed, wouldn't he be left alone even if he could survive? "Holt, you're going too far..."

With a loud shout, Apu also rushed towards Holt.

I want to see if you, old man, are as powerful as Ron.

As the battlefield became more and more chaotic, the smile on Virgil's face grew wider and wider.

Fight, fight.

None of them are good.

The more people die, the better. This will allow the brothers' plan to be carried out more smoothly.

If Apu and Holt could die together, it would be the perfect ending.

…

The other side.

Ron finally found the entrance to the underground dungeon in the ruins.

The royal underground dungeon can be said to be one of the most gloomy, filthy and terrifying maps in the game.

Almost all of Holt's enemies were imprisoned in the water dungeon. Perhaps because he had to disguise himself as an incompetent king and act like a waste in front of outsiders, Holt developed an extremely twisted and perverted personality.

When he felt he had won, Holt would not kill his enemies immediately, but would lock them up in a water dungeon and torture them in darkness.

The environment in the dungeon is extremely harsh. There is not a single ray of sunlight. The only source of light may be the torches on the wall.

There are cockroaches and rats everywhere.

All prisoners who enter the water dungeon will have their hands hung in the air and their feet fixed to the ground. Holt has carefully trained a group of cruel officials known as the executioners of hell. The only job of these cruel officials is to torture the prisoners imprisoned in cages with the most cruel and vicious means.

Ron didn't expect that Holt would be so cruel as to lock his own daughter in the dungeon.

Recalling the scene in the water dungeon he had seen in the game, Ron became even more anxious. The light of the torch shone on Ron's face, showing anger and even murderous intent. He quickened his pace.

The underground dungeon was a huge rectangle with a corridor in the middle and two rows of cages on both sides of the corridor, a total of twenty-four cages. Perhaps because Holt wanted to kill himself so badly, he gathered all the masters under his command, even the executioner of hell in the dungeon was no exception and was transferred away.

As soon as I stepped into the underground, a strong stench immediately entered my nose.

At the same time, all kinds of shrill screams kept echoing in my ears, and the clattering sounds of footsteps were drowned out by the screams.

From the corner of his eye, he could see a man of unclear age hanging in a cage on the left. His body was covered with bruises and some rags stuck to his body, almost blending with the wounds from previous whipping and beatings.

Drops of dark brown liquid, which looked like blood, were slowly falling from his body. Every wound was crawling with cockroaches and rats. At the footsteps, the rats squeaked and ran away. Grayish-white rotten flesh could be seen on the gnawed thighs, with white, round worms wriggling inside.

This man seemed to be half dead. Although his chest was still rising and falling slowly, he did not react at all even when he heard Ron's footsteps. He could not even do such a simple action as raising his head.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Just to the right, the guy in the cage is in an even worse state.

He was already dead, with only his corpse hanging by chains. The flesh on his legs had long been eaten clean by cockroaches and rats, and even the exposed leg bones showed signs of having been gnawed.

Farther away, there were people shouting for help, trying to break free from this hellish cage.

Ron turned a deaf ear to the sounds coming from both sides. He just kept speeding up his pace, while keeping his eyes on the figures in the cages on both sides, trying to find Dolores.

But……

No.

No.

No!

Ron walked to the end of the dungeon, but still didn't see Dolores.

He couldn't help but clench his fists, and his knuckles cracked.

His toes seemed to touch something, and when he looked down, he saw a figure in a pure white robe. His neck was broken, and his head drooped limply to one side, with deep fear in his wide-open eyes.

The pure white robe is the uniform of the executioners in hell... It is kind of ironic that they are doing the dirtiest and filthiest job in the world, but they wear a pure white robe.

After a brief inspection, the body was not stiff nor cold, and looked like it had just died. Even the blood flowing from the corner of the mouth had not yet coagulated.

This might be the only executioner who remained in the dungeon and was responsible for guarding it, but unfortunately, he was also attacked by a mysterious man and died.

Ron glanced to the right and saw a dead man hanging in the water dungeon on the right.

As for the left side, the railings of the water dungeon, which were forged with fine steel and blessed with magic runes, were twisted off by some existence. Someone should have been imprisoned in this cell, but the chains used to bind the prisoners were all cut off, and the original prisoners had disappeared.

If you look closely, you will find that there are even some golden hair floating on the water.

That's... Dolores' hair.

Dolores was indeed imprisoned here, but where is she now? 　Here is Chapter 5.
