Chapter 382 382: Dangerous

After a brief period of silence, the Holy Lord of Wind further continued, "It's not that I'm underestimating you. Instead, it's you who is overestimating himself."

The Holy Priest of Wind, known as Yael wasn't known to be arrogant like the Holy Lord of Flames. However, his words were filled with such confidence that even Gabriel was forced to think twice.

He didn't know what Yael was truly capable of. Attacking Yael was quite troublesome, especially since fighting Yael right now meant fighting Avilia as well. His Necromancy relied on his summons. Similarly, Avilia could summon her beasts to keep Gabriel back. It was a complicated equation.

Another problem was that Gabriel couldn't stop Yael from leaving without Avilia's help which seemed unlikely for now.

In the end, Gabriel decided to take a decision which he didn't prefer. He glanced back toward the Tower of Challenges leaderboard before glancing back at the two Holy Lords.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

"Two Holy Lords before me, and a third one inside the Tower. It looks like you all are really prepared," Gabriel exclaimed, shaking his head lightly. "Too bad I don't have time to play around."

Since things were so complicated here, Gabriel let it be. He already had to go to the Tomb and didn't have much time. Let alone the fact that he didn't want to delay himself, but even if he did, the chances of successfully killing Yael were almost nil especially since the Element of Wind was known for its speed.

A dark mist surrounded Gabriel, slowly covering him from all sides.

"Don't worry. Sooner or later, I'll definitely come to you to continue this conversation." Gabriel's voice came from inside the mist.

Yael understood what Gabriel was trying to do. However, for some reason, he didn't try to stop Gabriel either. Just like Gabriel knew that he couldn't kill Yael or prevent him from escaping if things went south, Yael knew he couldn't kill Gabriel...

He just remained where he was, watching the mist engulf Gabriel. By the time the mist disappeared, nothing was there! Gabriel had disappeared and he was nowhere to be found.

The two Holy Lords didn't react to his disappearance. On the other hand, the Head Teachers of the Academy were fuming deep in their hearts! After so much trouble, they had managed to hold Gabriel back! They were in such a perfect situation to be able to kill him with two Holy Lords, but the Holy Lords allowed him to escape?!

"Holy Lord of Wind, Holy Lord of Summoning!' Eliana glared at the two Holy Lords. "How can you allow evil to escape?! Do you know how much trouble he can cause if he gets even stronger?!"

Yael turned to Eliana. Before Eliana could even blink, Yael appeared right before her, covering over ten meters of distance in an instance.

Eliana was stunned to suddenly find Yael before him. She subconsciously took a step back and fell on the ground.

Yael looked down at Eliana. With a simple wave of his hand, gentle winds started flowing which pulled Eliana up.

It was as if Eliana was caught by the shackles of the wind, floating mid-air!

"Holy Lord Yael, what are you doing?!" Rem stepped forth. Unfortunately, he had only taken a step forward when an explosion took place, sending him flying back.

"It seems you all forgot who you're talking to." A cold glint flashed in Yael's eyes as he looked around like he was looking at ants. He was a calm and calculating person, but that didn't mean he was a hero of justice.

"I'm neither your servant, nor your slave. I'm not obligated to do anything for you. Next time you talk to me in that tone, or try to teach me what I should've done, all your heads would be rolling on the ground..."

With a snap of his fingers, the winds that were holding onto Eliana disappeared, making Eliana fall on the ground with a thud.

Yael didn't speak further. With his hands behind his back, he started walking away as if he was a surreal otherworldly expert. What was surprising was that he wasn't walking on the ground. Instead, he was walking on the air like it was his morning walk.

Avilia also flew up, leaving distressed mages of the Academy behind, who had never felt this insulted before! Izen was dead and now everyone was treating them like they were nothing but trash!

For the people who were used to standing on an equal footing with the Church thanks to Izen, falling so far was even worse. They were nothing in the eyes of the Church without Izen!

"It's all because of him!" Eliana clenched her teeth, looking at the top rank on the leadership board.

The Holy Lord of Wind left the City, not dwelling there further. In fact, it was already the longest he had stayed in Lumen City. Initially, he was here to meet the Holy Lord of Light after sending the magic of the Holy Grimoire of Light.

However, now that he was leaving, he believed he had gained more than he expected! There was some new information that he managed to decipher.

"What do you think of Gabriel?" Yael flew out of the City with Avilia who was more or less keeping an eye on him to make sure he actually left.

"He's strong," Avilia answered, not telling more than she had to.

"That's for certain. There aren't many people who can use three elements after all," the Holy Lord of Wind responded. "It would've been surprising if he wasn't strong."

"Huh?" Avilia was stunned. Even though she expected Yael to know a few things about Gabriel, what he knew from just one meeting surpassed what most others knew. She couldn't help but have a bad feeling about this.

She realised one thing. Yael was a dangerous person.

Avilia thought about attacking and killing Yael to avoid any future troubles while she still had a chance.

"Are you thinking about attacking me to protect the secret of your so-called husband?" Unfortunately, before she could do anything, Yael further said, "Before you decide to attack me, let me remind you that I'm carrying Prison of Teiri with me. The moment you attack me, I'll have no choice but to imprison you."

Avilia went silent and didn't attack. Shock was clearly visible on her face though. The Prison of Teiri was a Numen on the same tier as the City of Abadon that helped Lambard before a leader of his generation!

Unlike the City of Abadon which was a defensive Numen, the Prison of Teiri was something that was purely for offence and capturing the enemy! It could easily be carried by the owner unlike the City of Abadon. It was a dangerous Numen! She couldn't believe that it was with Yael! This man... He was more dangerous than she thought!
