RISE OF EROS-Chapter 680 - 679

Andrew’s guardians and wives rushed out of the office, leaving Andrew, Jasper, Helga, and Layla alone in the room. The three vampires were baffled by what was happening, but Andrew looked cool as a cucumber.

Jasper couldn’t contain his curiosity, so he walked over and said, "Do you intend to use some escape route? Not that I want to pour cold water on your plans, but I doubt something like that would escape the attention of a demigod of that level."

Although the two girls didn’t say it, they agreed with their brother. They are relatively powerful experts and have been trained since they were young in combat, and being surrounded by Zaros and Lucian, they obviously knew the capabilities of a demigod.

They can’t claim to know all such powerful beings’ capabilities, but they know that a demigod of the green-cloaked man’s caliber can’t miss their escape through a hidden route.

In addition, many people needed to be evacuated, which added further difficulty to the situation. Andrew looked at Jasper who was showing some concern and could only feel astonished.

To say that he was not afraid would be a lie, but he still showed his composure as the future Duke of Cannes, since, if you did not look closely, you could only see a serene and calm expression.

Jasper and his sisters were not calm as their faces showed, in fact, they were panicking, but they are the heirs of the Duchy of Cannes and above all the grandchildren of Zaros, so they could not show those emotions in public.

Panic only clouds your thinking, so, despite feeling distressed, they showed a calm facade and continued to think of alternatives, to deal with the situation.

At that moment, a tremor was felt throughout the building. The man dressed in a green cape had attacked again. Despite the power with which he attacked, inside the Palace of Cannes, only a slight tremor was really felt.

This does not mean that it was not causing damage, but that it was not in accordance with the power with which he was being attacked. A blow like the one they were receiving would decimate a mountain, so it was surprising that Cannes Palace was still relatively intact.

Unfortunately, the neighbors were not so lucky. The shockwave from each attack had destroyed the surroundings. Cannes Palace now stood in what looked like a lonely wasteland.

The surroundings of Cannes Palace were now a desert of scorched earth and rubble from what was once the buildings neighboring Cannes Palace. Deep craters and ashes were all that could be seen. Experience new stories on novelbuddy

In the distance, the leaders of Purgatory in red and blue cloaks were beginning to grow impatient. They certainly still had the advantage in their battle against Zaros and Lugia, but they were annoyed that their partner was taking so long.

According to their estimates, he should have already accomplished the mission of assassinating Andrew, but they could still see him launching high-powered attacks and they couldn’t help but think that something had gone wrong.

While Andrew was a god candidate, they knew that he wasn’t powerful enough to take even one of those attacks. The first thing they thought was that there was another demigod of Zaros and Lugia’s level hidden away.

Their companion was fighting this new enemy, but they quickly dismissed that theory, as they couldn’t sense any enemy of that caliber fighting the green-clad man. Then they thought that it was all due to the temple quality of Cannes Palace. Purgatorio, like many demigods, knew a lot of information about god candidates and the gods themselves.

They weren’t ignorant and knew that a temple wasn’t a simple thing, but still, they never expected it to be so difficult. Not wanting to delay the matter, they decided to go and support their companion.

The problem was that Zaros and Lugia wouldn’t let another one of them get away. They may be holding back and cornering even Zaros and Lugia, but that didn’t mean they could move around freely.

The demigods in their army that were powered by the blood of the fallen god were powerful, but not enough to survive a battle against Zaros and Lugia, which was why they were there.

They let these crazed demigods face Zaros and Lugia’s head-on, while they tried to land a heavy blow, but they hadn’t succeeded yet. In fact, the leaders of Purgatory were rather defending their allies, to prevent them from being defeated, since they knew they would be at a disadvantage if they lost them.

Zaros and Lugia were warriors with centuries of experience. They knew how to fight these battles and despite being under pressure, it wasn’t like they couldn’t deal with the situation. They might not be able to defeat them, but they weren’t so helpless that they couldn’t resist and restrain their enemies the same way they restrained them.

Meanwhile, inside Cannes Palace, Andrew’s wives returned to the office carrying the children. Jasper, Helga, and Layla had yet to receive a response from Andrew, but they didn’t ask any further.

Now that Andrew’s wives had returned and brought the children, they would know what they were planning, so there was no need to ask any further. Just as they expected, Andrew didn’t say anything and just walked over to his wives and children.

Everyone gathered around him and under the gaze of the three vampires, they all disappeared without a trace. Jasper and his two sisters’ eyes widened in surprise.

Among all the things they had imagined, they never expected Andrew to simply disappear. Seconds later, Andrew reappeared in the same place he had disappeared from before, but he was alone.

"How…?" Andrew tried to ask, but Andrew just smiled and said, "Follow me, we have to move quickly." Despite the millions of questions they had, they didn’t ask them, as Andrew had already left the office.

They quickly followed him and arrived at the main party hall, where all of Andrew’s employees and guardians were gathered. Fear was reflected on their faces, as they could feel that they were being attacked.

They might not have been hurt at the moment, but the pressure they felt with each attack from the enemy was not small. Some of them were even crying desperately. Andrew let out a sigh upon seeing them and said, "Calm down." Obviously, his words were ineffective, as in this situation, words were insignificant. Andrew understood them.

They were all ordinary people. There were no experts or demigods among them, so it was normal for them to be scared to the verge of a nervous breakdown. In fact, the only reason they hadn’t fallen prey to uncontrolled panic was thanks to Andrew’s divinity.

Although not all of the employees had unwavering loyalty to Andrew, they did have a certain degree of loyalty, so Andrew’s innate divinity protected them from falling into the abyss.
