Boom!
The mental space seemed to be collapsing with the power of the black ball that appeared to be capable of engulfing everything.
William was instantly horrified. However, the more horrifying thing was that the Golden Words were being forcefully moved with no resistance.
"What is happening?" William could only utter these words with an incredulous expression on his face.
Right before his eyes, the Golden Words, the only hope he had, were slipping away.
"Stop, Golden Words!" William shouted at the top of his lungs, but no matter what, he couldn't control the Golden Words.
These things seemed to have a will of their own and never listened to any of William's words when he wanted them to.
Only when William was dying or when there were some changes in his mental space did it activate.
However, now, even though it was clearly being taken away, the Golden Words didn't react at all, remaining motionless, which brought him true despair.
"Asmodeus, Lily, help me."
William shouted again; however, Lily was also stunned by the development. As the prisoner of the Golden Words, she couldn't do anything except for some meagre power she had recovered, allowing her to.
As for Asmodeus, it was exactly what he wanted. Whether he has the method to stop it or not, why would he stop it?
Just like that, the Golden Words were sucked into the black ball and taken out of his mental space, under the despair-filled eyes of William.
He couldn't mutter or say anything that stopped the Golden Words; despair clouded William's mind.
"I can't die here."
Aur in the outside world looked at the black ball that was appearing in front of him with a surprised expression.
He didn't expect that the black ball could suck away the Golden Words so easily.
Although almost all the mana in his mental space was draining, his focus was no longer on there, instead at the Golden Words that was suspended in mid-air with a trace of avarice in his eyes.
However Aur didn't immediately move.
"I am just the first elder, so of course I am not as good as the village leader himself. A small character like me cannot possibly be faster than the village leader, right?"
Naturally, the man beside Noah was the first elder.
Noah's expression was weird because something felt off about the first elder's words; however, he soon shook his head.
"Hahaha." The first elder laughed again with a smug smile. However, he didn't forget the most important reason they were here. "Should we chase him?"
"That brat's speed is terrifying, already reaching the power of a tier three wizard. Even if we gave chase, it would be difficult to catch up to him. Besides, I left a little surprise for him. How dare he try to disrupt the plan of the lord?" Noah's expression turned stern. "And don't forget, capturing William is our current priority."
He looked around the place.
The first elder just snickered, which made Noah a little aggrieved.
But his expression abruptly froze when his eyes fell on the ashes left in the jar.
"What are you looking at?" The first elder frowned, following Noah's gaze.
"This is—"
"William." Noah said in a calm tone.
"These but what..." The first elder's face twisted. "It's over now, you bastard. Why are you so calm?"
Noah remained calm, looking at the first elder who was pinching his own hair.
"Look carefully."
"Hmm?" The first elder looked again, and with just a glance, he could sense the ever-growing vitality. There seemed to be a faint reconstruction of even flesh and blood.
"This, how is this possible?"
"I don't know." Noah shook his head. He went and directly picked up the ashes of William.
"Let's go now and return to Lord Sky immediately, otherwise the consequences will be..."
The first elder felt a chill down his back when he heard this, and he hurriedly nodded his head.
"Yes, yes, we should return immediately," the first elder said, with some fear in his eyes that reflected deep horror.
