Chapter 372 372-Too Smart For Her Own Good

The two of them kept moving forward, and as they did, another three such elves were seen again, they were all quickly dealt with, and this time Sabrina was ready hence the sudden change in her blood didn't catch her off guard, giving her the chance to kill her enemy, while Austin as always killed them with a wave of his arms.
Finishing their kill the two kept moving forward in the weary tunnel, they kept going forward and forward until suddenly the two of them stopped, they had to stop seeing what was in front of them,
"To-too much"
Sabrina spoke with a small hiccup, her eyes widening up, while goosebumps filled her body, in front of them stood rows and rows of the previously seen elves, fluttering about on their fours, without any focus, similar to a zombie horde and just like zombies when the two arrived close all of the elves focus turned towards the two, the elves eyes lit up as if they saw a tasty dessert, their red shinning eyes being seen as ominous.
Everywhere in the small tunnel, the elves were filling it up, it was an endless row of elves and Sabrina knew instantly she couldn't beat them all. Even with their previous opponents, she couldn't tell their Origin level, it was as if it were being scrambled or taken away yet they had movements and speed far beyond the ordinary.
And she was sure that the two of them wouldn't be able to handle all the enemies in front of them,
"Let's run"
She slowly whispered but just as she did the army of ugly-looking red elves had already begun their charge at them, their crazy-filled eyes looking at the duo with desire, their snarls and roars filling up the entire tunnel,
"Get lost"
Austin said in a monotone voice as he waved his hand forward again, this time the entire wave of armies turned to dust. No power, no defense, nothing's capable of blocking the destruction element power granted to him by Razellia, everything in Austin's path turned to fine dust, it was simple and straightforward and truthfully deadly.
Sabrina robotically turned her head towards Austin who was walking forward in an unhurried manner, this time all the dread she was feeling moved towards the young man walking in front of her, she had a higher pride than any and she was narcissistic but above all, she's smart very smart and a smart person knows when they are outmatched.
Even till now, Sabrina wanted to one-up Austin, to make him know that she wasn't one to be messed and played with, sure she was grateful but she was spiteful too, even after seeing Austin fight she had already devised certain manipulative ways to have some sweet sweet revenge but now she had thrown all those plans away, her instincts were screaming at her, that she shouldn't do anything she will regret,
'I need as much information about him, he could be a threat at an Empire level to my people'
Sabrina's mind ran fast, she had already placed Austin on the highest pedestal for dangerous people she knows, her acknowledgment of his powers was a testament to how much he will achieve in the world as a whole,
'I must not make him an enemy if I was to, I must make sure to remove him completely'
Sabrina had already started to plan some preventive measures for Austin and when she returns she will make sure that nobody from the elven side will really piss off the monster in front of her, as selfish as she is, she loves her people, her Empire and she wouldn't mind being a pawn used to poke this monster's nest,
"Are you coming?"
Austin asked stopping in place, this quickly brought Sabrina out of her thoughts,
"I am!"
Shouting so she quickly reached his side, keeping a minimum distance while maintaining a smile on her face, she no longer wanted to tease this walking killing machine,
"Lets keep moving"
Austin saying so started to walk forward and just like always Sabrina took his side, being quieter than usual, thus the two of them kept walking when a putrid smell started to fill their nose,
"Urgh!....what is this smell?"
Sabrina spoke reflexively,
"The smell of death"
Austin replied, not too much affected by it as he moved forward, seeing so Sabrina took a transparent mask out of her spatial ring and put it on, just as she did the awful smell went away, she took another one and handed it to Austin,
"Here"
She said, seeing so Austin didn't reject her as he took the mask and placed it on his face, the two once again presumed their walk, this time they started to see different things, on their sides thrown around were weapons of different kinds, one look at them and they were all worn out but to still maintain such integrity meant that they were at least high tier weapons at the peak,
"Just what took place here?"
Sabrina spoke, the fact that she doesn't have any information on the situation kept bugging her mind deeply,
"It looks like an internal war"
Austin said as they started to find skeletons around, laying everywhere, their structural placement proving that all of the skeletons belongs to the elves,
"But in no corners of our history is there any mention of a war of such proportions"
Sabrina said, she could tell from the fluctuations from the skeletons that all the elves laying dead here are warriors, powerful ones at that,
"You should know better than all, history is not always the truth, the winners write their own history"
Austin spoke as he started to look around, this time their tunnel had opened to a huge enormous hall, where skeletons lay,
"These elves were all killed at a single moment, blasted to death"
Austin said, his words bringing in the attention of Sabrina, during her previous walks she took this as another research but now the information she could collect could affect the Elven Empire as a whole,
"Let's keep moving forward, there's nothing here"
Sabrina said half an hour later, having looked around enough, while Austin just stood waiting for Sabrina to finish,
"Thanks for waiting"𝚏r𝘦e𝙬e𝑏n𝗼vel.𝒄om
She said,
"Sure"
Austin said as the two of them began moving forward, she had taken in stuff she thought might be useful while Austin didn't seem to be interested in any of it,
'Just what is his goal?'
Sabrina began to wonder, Austin knew about this place, in fact, he seems to know everything about this place and it ain't good, such information is even possible of harming the royal family but what she really wants to know is what is the thing that is capable of moving someone as mysterious and cunning as Austin to move?
Sabrina didn't believe for a second that Austin is a fool, someone capable of hiding such power and growing hidden under all the spies, and traitors around the world isn't normal in the least, one has to be very cunning for that and now such a person had begun to show his fangs, which would mean that by now he has enough power to handle any backlash on his own,
'Looks at her trying so hard'
Austin thought in amusement, the best thing about the overly smart people is that you just have to show them some small hints and they themselves would make up stories and theories, though you have to be careful not to slip too much,
'Sigh, let's get this over with'
Thinking so the two of them suddenly walked into an open area, coming to gaze upon a beautiful city of ruins.
