Chapter 821 Secrets of the Golden Key ( 1 )
Orden wryly smiled after seeing the excited Aersus...
It appears that Aersus hadn't realized the danger he was in yet.
Nonetheless, Orden continued to play with him. He was unconcerned by Aersus's ferocious assault as he charged forward...
With a sudden burst of speed, he closed the distance between them, delivering a thunderous kick that echoed through the forest, sending Aersus staggering back.
Boom!
The attack seemed to have woken Aersus back to reality as he condensed his draconic aura around his fists as he planned to fight with everything he had.
In any case, he knew for himself that he would be able to escape if he truly wanted to...
It didn't take long before the battle had once again reached its new peak as the two dragons locked in deadly close combat... Nonetheless, the two dragons in human form continued their battle without showing any signs of exhaustion or defeat on both sides.

In the meantime, amidst the clash between Aersus and Orden, Mennena found herself ensnared within a complex Temporal Formation Art, it was an unending web of temporal threads that trapped her ethereal form in its intricate embrace. "Haaa~ This Temporal Formation Art... I think it's made especially for me... I feel really honored." Mennena said as she cast her glance at the two figures hiding in the shadows.
Thud. Thud...
The two then stepped forward after confirming that their trap actually worked.
"Yes... We made it for you, Mennena..."
"You're an Arch Fey for sure... You're dangerous but we got lucky this time. "
However, as Mennena started breaking the intricate Temporal Formation Art that trapped her, a powerful and pressuring aura filled the air, signaling the arrival of a new presence within the confines of the room...
With a ripple in the fabric of reality, a figure wearing a blindfold appeared.
Without a doubt, it was the Shadow Immortal...
To be exact, it was the Avatar of the Immortal who had materialized before the assembled beings...
"You're even more terrifying than I thought..." Mennena commented as she resisted the pressure coming from the Immortal.
His form was like a manifestation of dark power and ancient knowledge that had seen the long history of the human realm.
"Mhmmm..."
The Avatar, cloaked in shadows that seemed to dance and writhe around his imposing figure, surveyed the scene before him.
His presence exuded an aura of foreboding that sent shivers down the spines of three beings in the room. Indeed, even the Time Manipulators felt nervous in front of this Avatar.
Jin and Giorgi, the Time Manipulators, bowed their heads in deference to the Shadow Immortal's Avatar, a gesture of respect tinged with a hint of trepidation at the arrival of their enigmatic master. Mennena, trapped within the confines of the Temporal Formation Art, regarded the Avatar with curiosity and defiance, her gaze didn't leave the Immortal's figure and met his inscrutable stare.
The Avatar's voice, a deep resonance that seemed to echo from the depths of the void itself, cut through the tense silence that enveloped the courtyard.
"Mennena, Arch Fey of the Mirror Realms, what brings you to my domain seeking the Golden Key."
He asked, and his words weren't spoken softly, it contained a pressure that tried to hypnotize the ArchFey!
Mennena knew this, but she met his gaze fearlessly.
"I come seeking a bargain, Shadow Immortal, a pact that may benefit us both in ways... The Golden Key can't be used many times... You will just waste it at this rate... But I seek to unlock something greater with your cooperation..."
