Chapter 216 Soul Control
"Stop!"
After quite a few minutes had passed, they all reached a passageway that led into two separate tunnels.
With the command of Elder Severin, the entourage split up into two and entered both the tunnels.
One team was led by Elder Severin while the other was led by his trusted subordinate.
Mulia and her uncle also were together with Elder Severin, so Davis was also stuck with them since he followed Mulia.
Surprisingly, after that event, Elder Severin didn't come to bother him at all. It was like that he didn't even bother about his existence anymore.
To this, Davis was very satisfied instead of being irritated.
He understood that by only through his enemies underestimation of him could he possibly survive this ordeal.
So far, there weren't any opportunities available for him to make his escape, so he could only grit his teeth and follow them to this wretched place.
Of course, if he had so wished, other than Elder Severin, he could kill all of them with Fallen Heaven but didn't do so as he would invite suspicion and besides, he was looking for an opportune moment to escape as well as use Fallen Heaven.
After a few hours of travel, walking in a snail's pace, the two teams regrouped at the exit of the two separate tunnels.
When the other team came out, they laughed and wondered why there were two ways to the same exit.
After discussing the strange structure of the tomb a bit, they continued their tomb-raiding work, heading deep into the narrow pathway.
It was unknown if they were moving horizontally or even vertically from a normal perspective.
Right now, the only thing Davis got from this tomb was a peculiar sense of danger. It suddenly appeared and disappeared for no reason, or it could be just his misconception.
Sadly, he could only use his senses to feel around.
Not taking any chances, he made his move.
"Miss Mulia, it could be my imagination but I think we are in danger..." Davis whispered as he came close behind her. After all, he certainly owed her his life.
The sudden information was enough to make her stop in her tracks, yet she kept moving as if this wasn't enough for her to be fazed.
His killing speed was off the charts!
If Davis witnessed his speed, he would be flabbergasted because, with his current cultivation base, he wouldn't even be able to catch his silhouette with his eyes.
Elder Severin was capable of moving even breaking past the sound barrier! Except his speed was even more terrifying because he could move 10 kilometers in a single second!
Actually, even Law Seed Stage Experts could travel at the speed of sound, to even say much less of Law Dominion Stage Experts like Elder Severin who is two stages above their cultivation.
Looking at the slow battling speed of his subordinates, Elder Severin took the matter in his hands and swept the other team with a swing of his sword.
Finally, there was only a single one who was left alive from the other team. Elder Severin questioned him but the man would only respond to him with gibberish.
Later on, Elder Severin sighed as he didn't know what to make of this even after using his Soul Sense to probe that man.
"Mulia, it's useless. I couldn't even make sense of the situation with my Mid-Level Elder Soul Stage Cultivation..." Elder Severin explained when he saw Mulia getting close to that man, scrutinizing.
Mulia nodded expressionlessly and backed off, seemingly not able to find any clues.
"Is this what they meant by turning crazy?"
"He doesn't even recognize us anymore..."
"Damn, now how do we answer to their families?"
The surrounding men spoke in hushed voices.
Elder Severin glanced at them arrogantly and said, "Keep him alive and close! We shall see what other tricks this tomb has to show off!"
The men nodded and followed their leader into the depths of the tomb.
Davis stayed close to Mulia and didn't take part in the battle but he was able to measure through his bare eyes that they were being controlled through their souls, or even deranged.
Originally, he thought of controlling them with Fallen Heaven after regrouping, but it looks like someone beat him to it.
'Was it that soul body that they were talking about?' He mused in trepidation as even he couldn't find any traces of the soul control.
Even so, their deaths brought him happiness, to say the least.
Quickly, they could see an entrance to a hall as it was written on the door.
When they pushed open the door to the hall, they actually started to hear voices! Human voices!
Elder Severin's expression turned heavy before becoming ugly.
