Although the outpost was now deserted, its very existence was clear evidence that Moth to Fire knew of the Temple Complex.
That was perfectly normal, actually.
After all, this Temple Complex stood within the enormous crater where Lunar City: New Atra was located.
Or rather, New Atra itself had been built near these ancient ruins.
Given such a location, it would have been an unbelievable oversight if Moth to Fire knew nothing about the Temple Complex.
Just as Moros and Vill-V were conducting a preliminary survey of the ancient and mysterious Temple Complex through magic and technology respectively, a group of unprecedented strange creatures silently broke free from the shackles of time deep within the complex.
"Alert! Emergency! Unknown lifeforms approaching!"
On the Bridge of the Charon-class Light Frigate, a piercing alarm erupted like thunder.
It was an emergency report from the controller of this space battleship-type Undead Engine—an Artificial Soul Aggregate woven from the souls of over a thousand Skeleton Archers.
Using the various advanced detection systems equipped on the Charon-class Light Frigate, the Artificial Soul Aggregate locked onto the abnormal creatures immediately.
These monsters were bizarre conglomerations of cyan and black, or yellow and black mineral debris, forming a unique crystalline shape and radiating a chilling aura.
Faced with this sudden threat, Moros and Vill-V swiftly exchanged a glance. Without needing words, they had already reached an understanding.
"Looks like our expedition will be more exciting than expected."
"But this won't be difficult for you, will it?"
Meeting Vill-V's confident gaze, Moros gave a slight nod.
His unhurried demeanor silently declared that these seemingly ferocious monsters were not a genuine threat in his eyes.
