David wanted to properly inspect the Leaf, but there was not much time left before the others began to look for him.
He was banking on the fact that Teela wouldn't let the young master search through her storage ring, but the girl was just too weird she might actually let Alan search through it.
But David knew a man's heart too well, she had told him that she had been given a Heaven rank technique as her reward and David believes she was telling the truth. The young master would definitely find a way to keep it for himself if he finds it or when he finds it.
David exited the third prison and walked into the fourth. Under the gaze of the eight guardians. The one David had smacked aside had fear written on his face and didn't dare look straight at him.
Ignoring them, David went to the final prison. This time he would have to take it seriously. The Undead within the prison was probably a demigod when it was still alive and although its strength had decreased by more than 50 percent, the power its body contained is far above mortal power. The Atman Stage.
"Hmm? Another human?" He suddenly heard a voice disrupt his speaking.
David withdrew his blade and placed it horizontally.
"Don't be so tense, I was once a human like you. Unfortunately, I dead but still managed to live due to my powerful genetic energy, remaining in this state of life and death forever. " The man sat on the steps of his throne, using a stick to poke at the stones on the ground.
David frowned slightly, he took back his stance and placed his blade within his storage ring.
"Do you know what happened here?" David asked, referring to the stage of the Goldly Cell.
"Same thing that always happens in prison, a prison break." The man shrugged.
'That makes sense.' David nodded but the asked.
"Doesn't that mean that some of you managed to escape?"
The old man smiled bitterly and replied "The matter isn't as simple as that. It's extremely complicated."
"This is the fourth God Prison, forged and built by the 12 most powerful Demigods to trap prisoners that couldn't be eliminated nor killed. We are then placed in a realm of nonexistence. The realm between the mortal plane and the Outland."
David was about to ask questions but the old man continued. "No one was meant to break out of here, and it was practically impossible to break out of the God cells but then, demigod Ryzer came along. He was captured and placed in here due to his sins."
"Why not just kill him."
The old man chuckled. "As I said, it isn't that simple."
"Baron Ryzer might have been killed easily for his crimes, but it turns out his genes has the ability to reincarnate him and about a thousand years, he would become even more of a headache to the 12 great Demigods therefore they planned to have him trapped here."
"But who would have thought that Baron Ryzer is so powerful he broke out of this place, all the while releasing us in exchange for our life. He turned us into this and left us here to rot for goodness knows how long." The old man clenched his fist tightly in anger.Â
But then he smiled. "But there's no need to revisit the past, you guys are here now. I can finally get out of here." He raised his head to look at the roof.Â
"My name shall be amongst those who managed to break out from a God Cell for generations to come."
David raised his eyebrow and asked. "But how do you plan on escaping?"
The old man gazed at David and shook his head. "Your talent is one of the oddest things I've seen and I've seen a lot of odd things in my life, but yours is just weird. Fluctuating between Seven stars and one star. But no worries, I will gain all of your memories after suckling your blood and feasting on your brains." The old man smiled, walking toward David slowly.Â
"Old man, I thought you are a good person?" David had a confused expression on his face as he said this.Â
"Good or bad, what's the difference? Do you expect me to spend an eternity here alone when an opportunity is standing right before me?"
David nodded his head. If he was in the old man's shoes, he too wouldn't choose to remain here, waiting for death to come.Â
"What do you know about the Outland?" David quickly asked a question that had been plaguing him for some time now.Â
"Hmm?" The old man frowned at David's odd behaviour, but he responded to his question.Â
"It's a higher plane where higher existences reside. The plane is filled with treasures, as well as dangers that could eliminate a demigod instantly. Your realm calls it the outland simply because you know nothing about it. Are you done now?" The old man asked impatiently.Â
'Even I am in a hurry, what are you been impatient for?' David thought, but he plastered a smile on his face.Â
"Just one more, how do I get there?"
The old man's frown deepened but he replied, "You can't. You are stuck in the lower plane for the rest of your life."
"But have heard numerous testimonials about people going back and forth between planes." David quickly added.Â
"That's impossible, all the Interdimensional Portals have long since been destroyed by the ones you call Nine Great families in your world. They are most likely holding on to it and using it. But the cost of using it is enormous, even higher existences wouldn't waste their resources to use it since there's nothing of worth within the lower plane."
David was about to open his mouth when the old man shouted. "That's enough! Just die for me!"
The world around the prison changed and the gravity within the prison multiplied by a thousandfold. Under this gravity, David wasn't able to move.Â
A panicked expression gradually climbed his face as he felt his organs being pulled to the ground. David's eyes wereÂ
