Chapter 650 Search

?"What? Where did he go?!"

Sage Merlin was furious. He had lost his prey, and he had no clue where he went.

He tried to expand his search by using his Magic Zone, which was empowered by his Divinity. This Spell allowed him to sense everything within 450 meters! However, he still couldn't sense the young man!

He also used his Magic Trace Spell, which enhanced his magic perception. At the very least, he wanted to know in which direction they disappeared.

"Tsk... How did he do that?"

It was all in vain. He should've placed a barrier or used his Domain Spell during their battle. If he did that, he wouldn't have this problem.

He could not find any trace of the young man, nor the person who helped him escape.

Well, he was certain that the bats were summoned by another Arcanist, someone who had a connection to the young man.

Since the young man was Dragon's Disciple, he knew that those bats were from a different Arcanist. Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

'Is it from a Vampire?' He mused.

'This is frustrating... If that's really Vampire, how did it manage to evade my detection? I even activated my Divinity at that time... I should've sensed a Vampire if they're close...' Sage Merlin was baffled and intrigued by this mystery.

He asked his disciples if they had any idea, but they all shook their heads, and they could only voice out some things that the Sage already knew.

"I'm also unsure about that Master Merlin... I didn't even sense where those bats came from."

"They came out of nowhere, so it must be from a Vampire."

"It's not just an Ordinary Vampire but probably a Noble Blood. Anyway, we are still unsure how they did it..."

In short, they were as clueless as he was.

Marcus III, the Pontiff of the Church of the Eminence of the Sea, listened to the reports of the Storm Knights.

They had spent two days investigating the kingdom, but they had only found one anomaly: a mysterious castle hidden in the cursed forest at the east of the kingdom.

They had gone to the place where the Pontiff had sensed the presence of an Immortal, but they had found nothing there. They had also detected another Half-Immortal who was searching the same area.

Of course, they did not want to offend another Half-Immortal, so they quickly left the place after doing some investigations and returned here.

They had changed their strategy and used their resources to look for clues about the Immortal who had descended into their realm.

"So you think that the Immortal is related to the Dragon's Summoner?" Marcus III asked the Storm Knight after hearing their reports.

"Yes, Your Holiness..." The Storm Knight answered.

"Then we must find that elusive castle... You said that it can't be detected by normal means... I suppose they're using a powerful Formation Arts to fool the people... Well, let's see if they can fool me. Let's go!"

With that, the Pontiff led the search for the castle.

The search was not easy. The cursed forest was a dangerous place, full of threats and traps. The Storm Knights had to fight their way through.

They faced many beasts and monsters, some of which were corrupted by the dark energy of the forest. They also encountered some hostile Arcanists, who were either hiding or hunting in the forest.

Of course, if not for the Pontiff, this matter would take longer.

After their search had taken more than three days, the Pontiff decided to be at the front, using his Divinity and his Magic Zone to scan the area.

He was looking for any signs of the castle, or the Immortal, or the Dragon's Summoner.

However, even with his abilities, he failed to find them in a short period...

This was most likely before the Cursed Forest seemed to be covered by a thick layer of fog that was causing an illusion that hid and distorted everything.

Fortunately, after eight days of searching, they finally found something!
