Chapter 1983 Trouble

But, Rose could have never expected that the reason her master knew the name of this array wasn't because of her own breadth of knowledge, but rather because she had learned it from Dyon himself on the day he shattered that barrier and finally united the mortal plane!
Unfortunately, she was unaware, so seeing Dyon's figure, she panicked.
"This idiot! Master wasted her life so that he could live yet he's come here to throw it away so casually?!"
Rose flew into a rage, readying herself to interfere. She knew well that she wasn't a match for even normal Higher Existences, let alone the true elite Higher Existences of the Nephilim and Sapientia. However, her master had still hoped she would protect Dyon while he needed it... She could feign ignorance if she was all the way across the mortal plane from him, but if she was right before him... She couldn't in good conscience!
Dyon didn't seem to hear the commotion below.
He curled his forefinger's knuckle, using it to tap on the exterior shell of the array.
"Oh my, what a hard shell you all have here. Do you mind pulling it down for me, please?"
The faces of those below twisted. Was he really taking this to be a game? Since when could the Immortal Blood Gong Array be put up and taken down as some nobody pleased?
However, once again, Dyon's actions caused the elders to be in no small shock.
The Immortal Blood Gong array couldn't be touched simply because you were near it. In fact, the reason for its blood title wasn't because of its red color, but rather because every touch sucked the life blood of the instigator away.
Suddenly, everyone sensed the mocking intent behind his words... This person had come to stir trouble!
"Aiya." Dyon looked around in disappointment. "I thought you said that array was amazing? Seems I just slipped and fell in..."
Little Alauna covered her lips and giggled. She had never seen her father in action before, he mostly hid it from her. But, it seemed he was even more mischievous that she was. Even in the face of so many Higher Existences, he was actually slapping their faces so severely.
It was obvious Dyon could have strolled in whenever he felt like it. But he actually first goaded an 'expert' into explaining just how amazing the array was first before doing so. It seemed like a minor change, but judging by the ugly expressions on the faces of the elders, it was still a resounding blow.
Dyon shook his head, taking a casual glance around. His eyes lit up when he noticed Rose and Jade. A weight on his heart was dropped immediately afterward. It seemed Jade had finally resolved her manifestation's problem.
By then, Saru and Lilith had inexplicably disappeared. From start to end, Dyon was never aware of their appearance.
Jade's gaze darted around nervously. Though she was eager to return to Dyon, she was also nervous to face him head on... Her memories had been sealed, but she was still an intelligent individual. She could tell by the odd relationship between her master and Dyon that something deeper was going on. And, she could faintly feel that it was somehow her fault.
The final result was a apprehensive and jumpy Jade, whereas the Jade Dyon had always known was as confident and witty as himself. The change was far too drastic.
Unfortunately, he could only sigh in his heart. Sealing her memories probably wasn't the ideal solution... Still, now wasn't the time to deal with these things.
'Maybe Miss Everdeen's spirit found its way to the Elvin Tombs... In that case, maybe the only way Jade can let this stone rest from her heart is to speak with her directly...'
With this final thought, Dyon turned his attention back to coliseum below.
It had quite an ancient design, reminiscent of Roman times. A section of its body was cut out to form an elevated platform that loomed high in the skies. There was no doubt that this housed the most qualified elders, of which the most obvious at a single glance was the old man whose height was looming even while he sat on his throne.
As Dyon casually scanned the surroundings, he suddenly found something interesting that made him tilt his head in surprise. His gaze met the panicked gazes of Amell and Nora, Madeleine's biological parents!
