Chapter 856: Trapped

Chapter 856: Trapped



Elysia felt so excited after seeing the presence of an Immortal. Although it was only an Avatar based on its fluctuation of energy, she still used her Mind Network to inform everyone about her current situation and discovery.

Wasa, the leader of the Time Manipulators, also liked this development.

"An Immortal with Holy Attribute? Is that the Holy Saint of the Church here?" He mused.

Everyone could somehow agree with this, but Elysia seemed to have a different opinion.

"I think it's an Avatar of the Fortune Goddess." She suddenly said, which made the other Time Manipulators even more excited.

"Let's capture her... No, we're going there now..."

"Right... We can't let her escape. An Immortal's knowledge would be invaluable in our mission."

Elysia panicked after hearing her friends say this.

She immediately spoke up and shared her concerns.

"Wait! I think it's dangerous. Something's telling me that if we use Temporal Spells in the vicinity, we would get into trouble. I'm not sure, but I think someone is looking for us, and they don't have a good intention... Ugh... I can't provide any evidence, but my intuition rarely fails me." She explained.

Thankfully, her friends weren't stubborn and didn't push with their plans.

"Alright, your Airship is descending right now, correct?" Wasa asked.

"Yes... I think we're in the middle of nowhere since this is so sudden." She replied.

Approaching the cell slowly, Wasa raised a hand and dispelled one of the wards that guarded the Demon Saint's chamber.

One of the barriers was destroyed, revealing the full figure of the Demon Saint, who was heavily injured. He wasn't recovering any strength because of the strange Formation Arts that seemed to be reversing the time. However, it certainly had a different principle from Time Spells.

Nonetheless, this Demon Saint just remained quiet and didn't even bother to look at Wasa. "Speak, Demon Saint..." Wasa's voice cut through the oppressive silence... "I seek knowledge of the Shadow Immortal... Tell me what you know of his whereabouts and if you got extracted by him once."

As soon as Artagos heard about extraction, his eyes flickered as he recalled what had happened to the other Demon Saints who had failed to escape from the Shadow Immortal,

and some of those were even chased to the Abyss Realm.

The Demon Saint's eyes gleamed with a malevolent light as he looked at Wasa with a mix of curiosity and contempt.

"Free me..." The Demon Saint replied without answering Wasa's question.

However, Wasa smiled after hearing this since this was what he had expected from the Demon Saint.

"If you make a contract with me, I will not just free you... I will also heal you and make you even stronger..." Wasa said as he gave another offer.

In the meantime, all the other Time Manipulators were also finishing or abandoning their current tasks as soon as they heard Elysia's report.

Liora immediately left the vicinity of the Mystic Soul Tower. She initially planned to explore this Tower by using force since she wasn't allowed in the first place. However, since this exploration may take long, she decided to visit Elysia first.

It was the same for Cyper, who had intended to fight against the members of the Church of the Lord of the Secrets... In his opinion, this mysterious Church seemed to be stronger than the Church of the Fortune Goddess, and their involvement in various phenomena in this realm, like the existence of the Shadow Immortal, must be fully investigated.

Lastly, there was Ivan, the youngest Time Manipulator, who was currently engaged in a fight against Vampire!

'I need to escape from here!' Ivan thought as he realized that his supposedly easy kill turned out to be a trap!
