Chapter 221 Hadian and Mulia
Elder Norbert was confused. He knew Hadian wouldn't lie to him but then why would Hadian have that kind of reaction?
'Could it be...?' Elder Norbert glanced at Mulia before narrowing his eyes.
Suddenly, numerous lines lit up near the blasted stone, illuminating the entire place they were in!
"Quick! Use your life-saving talismans!" Elder Walter shouted and at the same instant, activated a paper talisman that had inscriptions etched on it.
The paper talisman transformed into a ball of light as it extended, covering Elder Walter, providing protection.
Near the blasted stone, the inscription etched on the ground which had lit up into dazzling light, turned into a cage.
The illusory cage looked ordinary to the extreme, yet when they looked at it, chills crept up to their spines.
*Hsss*
Evidently, the top dogs had figured out what kind of formation they're facing right now and quickly unleashed the power of the protective talisman.
*Bzzz*
The cage suddenly exhibited a gust of terrifying suction energy directed at them.
*Teckk!*
The protective light on them burst apart and to their fear, they realized that instead of their bodies being pulled, it was their souls that were being sucked into the formation.
The ones who were the first ones to be sucked were the Fifth Stage Experts, whereupon their souls were immediately imprisoned. They screamed in agony before blowing off into a puff!
Their souls truly puffed off like a smoke mixing in together with the air.
The Six Stage Experts who had their protective lights just broken felt their souls being tucked at to their horror!
But the cage slowly dimmed off and disappeared into nothingness as if it wasn't there in the first place.
The only ones to survive this ordeal were the three elders, the secret couple, Mulia's uncle and the remaining Six Stage Experts.
The Six Stage Experts shut their mouths and looked at the place where the cage disappeared, their hearts still swallowed by horror.
Even Elder Severin had tried to run away sneakily, even leaving his own group behind. This action of his was what first resulted in him being stranded in this place.
When all things considered, those two elders were way better than him or at least that was Mulia thought when she saw his ugly expression.
Her eyes flashing with pure disgust.
...
Outside the tomb, a spatial
tear opened, followed by many people exiting it in haste.
Terror could be seen in their eyes as they escaped to this place with the help of the two elders.
In the grasp of Elder Norbert was Hadian, his face looking incredibly pale.
He didn't even have time to open his mouth before he got grasped by Elder Norbert on the neck, transported outside.
Quickly, he stood up and shook, removing his elder's grasp as he ran towards the spatial tear.
But before he could even reach it, the spatial tear closed, causing him to fall as he stretched his hands mid-way!
"No!!" A low muffled escaped from his mouth while gritting his teeth.
It didn't go unescaped from Elder Norbert's ears who was close to him.
"Elder Norbert, please open the spatial tunnel again..."
"I can't, I can no longer sense that place..." Elder Norbert replied calmly.
Hadian's expression was livid! He immediately glanced at the entrance and approached it with the fastest speed he could muster.
Elder Norbert suddenly appeared to the front of him, causing him to stop in his tracks.
Even in his haste, Hadian realized that he was being viewed with suspicious eyes.
"Where are you going? Can't you see that this is too much for us to handle? I don't even know how we got out of that place alive..." Elder Norbert berated him with a disciplining tone.
Hadian could see that there was no way for him to defeat Elder Norbert, so he could only plead with his eyes, "Move aside..."
Elder Norbert sighed as he clenched his fists, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid that I can't let you go to die in vain..."
