Chapter 673 Surrounded
?"Hmmm... Not bad..." Vale muttered as he confirmed that the Demon Saint had already turned into ashes, leaving his weapons and clothes on the floor.
"Are you alright?" Vale asked Lisa.
"Yes... He wasn't focusing on me, so I managed to break a part of the Formation." Lisa replied.
"Mhmm... You did the right thing. If I can't defeat the Demon Saint, we can only escape."
Vale then looked at Agent Axe who was suppressed by Lisa's Blood Manipulation Spell.
He wanted to test the Ethereal Steps he had just obtained from the Demon Saint.
With that in mind, he activated the Ethereal Steps and appeared in front of Agent Axe which they had subdued earlier.
Whoosh~
As soon as he did this, Lisa was shocked... This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
It wasn't just a quick movement speed. It was instantaneous!
"Impressive... This is not even a Celestial Art..." Vale muttered as he realized how great the Spell was even without Divinity being used.
Apparently, the Ethereal Steps was a Spell that allowed the caster to move through space!
However, it doesn't seem to be a Space Technique, but it felt more similar to Ghost Steps as it bypassed any obstacles or barriers.
It was a rare movement Spell, and Vale couldn't help but thank the Demon Saint who had given him this technique... After all, his Presence Shift Spell was consuming a lot of energy in each usage.
The Ethereal Steps was perfect for his everyday use.
Vale then shifted his attention to Agent Axe, who was tied up and gagged by Lisa's spells.
He told Vale everything he could think of, hoping that it would be enough.
Vale listened to him, and all his words seemed believable.
Or, at the very least, he could tell that Agent Axe was mostly telling the truth, but he also sensed some fear and hesitation in him.
Well, it wouldn't be surprising if he was hiding something...
He decided to keep him alive for now and use him to get out of this situation properly... As much as possible, he didn't want innocent lives to be taken here.
He said, "Very well. You've been somewhat helpful. I'll spare you for now. But don't think you're off the hook. You'll be explaining everything to the investigators since I didn't want to talk to them. Understand?"
Agent Axe nodded and accepted his condition.
"Yes... Yes, I understand. Thank you for sparing me. I'll do whatever you want..."
Vale nodded and gestured for Lisa to take care of him.
He then looked around and saw that the room was a mess.
There was blood and debris everywhere, and the door was broken. At this time, Vale already sensed that people are coming...
'They're taking quite a lot of time... I thought this place was full of Agent?' Vale couldn't help but look down on these people.
Their reaction was just too slow.
After some thought, Vale decided not to leave this place and wait for the other Agents inside this room.
" I want to see who else is in this Bureau... Maybe we'll meet some more Demon Saints." He mused.
He then sat down on a chair and held his Stormbringer Blade.
He looked calm and confident, but he was also alert and cautious.
He didn't know what awaited him at the Bureau. He could only tell that there were two figures at the level of Half Immortals coming to check the situation.
Nevertheless, he was prepared for anything.
