Chapter 113: Time's up

"Boss, time's up."

An hour later, Meylan looked at Sylvus and said.

Sylvus nodded, waved his right hand, and the sunflower seeds on top of the nine undead kings' heads disappeared, leaving them curled up on the ground.

"You have fifteen minutes. If you don't summon Grey for me by then, you'll get another hour of that treatment."

Sylvus smiled at the nine of them as he spoke.

The nine, still extremely weak, turned pale upon hearing this. Even Adolf, who had previously refused to comply, dared not waste any more words. He quickly exchanged glances with the others, and they all stood up hurriedly.

Each of them took their position, their power surging as they began chanting in low tones. Black streams of energy rose into the sky.

Soon, a massive vortex of magic appeared above, from which a powerful spatial force emanated.

"Welcome, our lord!" Sёarᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

A few minutes later, all nine of them bowed deeply.

From within the magical vortex, a powerful aura emerged, and a figure slowly appeared.

Seeing the figure, Sylvus smiled. It was indeed the Fallen Angel, Grey.

"So this is the Fallen Angel?"

Upon Grey's appearance, everyone present showed expressions of surprise. Elena also furrowed her brows; the figure resembled an Angel, but he had black wings, and his entire being exuded a dark aura.

"Grey, why don't you come down and have a seat?" Sylvus said with a calm smile, looking at Grey in the sky.

"It's you!"

Grey quickly assessed the situation on the ground, and his expression shifted upon seeing Sylvus. He remembered that Sylvus had the power to destroy his avatar. It seemed these fools had failed.

"Grey, it seems your subordinates have failed," Sylvus said with a cold smile.

Grey's face darkened. These undead fools—if they wanted to die, fine. But they had also summoned his avatar here. Now his avatar was as good as lost.

Grey landed before Sylvus. Since he couldn't keep his avatar, he might as well face Sylvus.

"Do you remember what I told you last time?" Sylvus asked, looking at Grey.

"Sylvus, though I, a Deity , don't know why you're so powerful, perhaps we could cooperate," Grey said.

"Cooperate? How?" Sylvus asked, intrigued.

"This continent will eventually be punished by the Divine Realm. When that time comes, even you won't be able to escape. If we work together to deal with the dangers here, we could be rewarded by the Divine Realm," Grey said, glancing at Elena. He knew the elves were related to the Angels.

Elena's expression changed upon hearing this, her gaze shifting to Sylvus. She didn't know how powerful the Divine Realm was, but if even the Angels had been exiled here, it was clear they couldn't resist. If Sylvus truly feared the Divine Realm and decided to betray them, there would be nothing they could do.

"A reward? If the so-called Lord of the Divine Realm wants to come be my dog, I wouldn't mind," Sylvus said with a smile.

What a joke. Sylvus had never thought of bowing to anyone. Even if the Lord of the Divine Realm came to his shop, Sylvus could still crush him with a single slap.

Hearing Sylvus's words, Grey frowned. Such arrogance—to say that the Lord of the Divine Realm should be his dog. If the Lord really came, Sylvus wouldn't even be qualified to be the dog.

"It seems you don't want to talk properly," Grey said coldly.

"Talking is fine. Just hand over the item that unseals the Elf Clan's bloodline, and I might consider letting you die without pain," Sylvus replied with a smile.

There was no way Sylvus would let Grey go, but he wouldn't kill him before completing the system's task. powered-by-MvLeMpYr

"Hmph, dream on! If the Angels returned, it would throw the entire Divine Realm into chaos. The Fallen Angels would face complete annihilation!" Grey refused.

Besides, this was just an avatar. Even if Sylvus was powerful enough to destroy it, as long as his true body lived, it didn't matter. At worst, he'd just have to rest for a while.

"Grey, it seems you don't want to talk. Don't regret this later!" Sylvus said, amused.

"Sylvus, you may be powerful, but you're not strong enough to find my true body. Consider this avatar my gift to you—go ahead and destroy it," Grey said, closing his eyes, as if surrendering.

"I'm not interested in your avatar. Let's summon your true body instead!"

With those words, an invisible force bound Grey, though he showed no fear. How could Sylvus possibly find his true body?

"Grand Space Summoning Spell!"

[System Prompt: Host is using Grand Space Summoning Spell... Target selection successful... Summoning begins... Summoning complete!]

With the system's message, a spatial rift appeared in front of Sylvus. From the rift, a powerful aura began to pour out.

In the Undead Realm.

"Hmph, these undead can't be trusted. It seems I need to find another way to break the barrier and return to the Divine Realm," Grey thought.

But just as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a spatial force appear around him.

"What is this? Where is this spatial force coming from? Where is it trying to take me? Why can't I resist?" Grey unleashed his power, trying to break free from the spatial force, but nothing worked. He could only watch as he was pulled into the rift.

Suddenly, everything brightened before him. When Grey opened his eyes, he found himself in a familiar yet strange place, surrounded by countless eyes staring at him.

"This place..."

Grey was dumbfounded. This definitely wasn't the Undead Realm, but why did it feel so familiar?

"Grey, welcome to Aisral Continent."

A familiar voice suddenly reached Grey's ears. He looked to the side, his eyes widening in shock.

"S-Sylvus! How is this possible? What kind of power did you use? How could you...?" Grey stammered, unable to believe what he was seeing. Even if Sylvus was a space mage, breaking the barrier like this should've been impossible.

Sylvus smiled slightly, and the avatar of Grey, which had been bound beside him, shattered instantly, causing Grey's true body to cry out in pain, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at Sylvus.

Who was this man?

"Now we can have a proper conversation, can't we?" Sylvus said, smiling at Grey.
