Chapter 611 Can I enter this tomb without using its entrance?
"Where did he go!? Find him! This time I am going to punish him with my own hands!"
Ned, Vexana, and all those who had rarely seen Old Hal lose his composure were surprised when a powerful aura emanated from his aged body. They swiftly started searching for the silver-haired human, intending not to further upset the old man. Suddenly, a loud and familiar taunting voice echoed from the audience below.
"Well, if the old man doesn't want to give me a spot, then I guess I shall take my leave. It's fine even if I don't enter the tomb. I should heed the words of the elder one."
The folks near Kyle were startled by his voice. They quickly distanced themselves from the silver-haired man lounging atop a chair in the audience with a smirk. After all, they lacked the strength to confront him at that moment, and nobody wanted to incur his wrath after witnessing his strength.
Old Hal's eyebrow started twitching violently at his words as he looked down at the human staring up at him.
Unlike Ned and the others who swiftly dashed towards Kyle with lightning-fast speed to capture him, the old man remained firmly rooted in his place.
"You have got quite the nerve, don't you, young one? But do you honestly believe I would fall for the same trick twice?"
Kyle shook his head upon hearing the old man's loud words. He vanished from his spot as Ned and the others closed in on him, only to reappear in the air a short distance away from the old man.
"Of course, I am certain you won't. You are far more powerful than me. However, I'm kind of curious, can I enter this tomb without using its entrance?"
Old Hal's pupils shook with disbelief as he grasped the meaning behind Kyle's words. The human intended to enter the tomb using his teleportation skill. He knew this was doable as he had seen James using his teleportation skill multiple times to bypass the limitations of various restricted realms and forcefully enter inside.
"Don't!"
Old Hal emerged from the fissure with Vexana and the rest onto a barren plain, devoid of any greenery and littered with countless skeletons. He sighed and massaged his throbbing head.
"At least he made it... I was certain he wouldn't, but that insane fellow did. With Kyle and all his companions, excluding the two beasts, the total number of spots they held within the tomb is 13... yet, how can that young man risk his life just to gain access to an ancient tomb?"
He sighed and looked at Ned, who hovered behind him.
"Return quietly and offer some treasures to the guardians and families of those thirteen unlucky folks to pacify them. I truly wish to avoid any more chaos when I return to the Sacred Divine Land to see those who made it back from the tomb alive."
Ned was taken aback and pointed at himself, looking bewildered.
"Me?"
Old Hal nodded with a frown.
"Who else goes by Ned around here?"
He waved his hand to dismiss him.
"Off you go. I know it won't be easy to calm the guardians and families of those thirteen unlucky folks, but take it as a punishment. You have really been a headache for me."
Ned's face fell, and he left the group with clenched teeth to go back to Sacred Divine Land. It was then that Old Hal retrieved the storage ring Nine had tossed at him.
"These dark contracts... I must bring them to James. Elizabeth departed hastily, so I couldn't inform her. I believe we will gain many allies by freeing those enslaved by the dark side."
The group disappeared towards one of the many floating islands above the desolate plain, scattered with numerous skeletons.
