Chapter 171: Captured Once More

If I had killed him that day, perhaps everything would be different.

Gerard shook his head, his tone filled with regret: You are merely victims of the Four Pillars Cult Without meeting him, you wouldnt have been seduced, and the peaceful prison life would not have crumbled.

Ashe Heath, indeed a source of disaster.

Im not in the habit of shirking responsibility, nor do I believe I was bewitched, Langna said. On the contrary, Im grateful to himif not for this series of events, my Ritual would not have been completed, nor would I have gained sentiment.

However, when it comes to defining him, we can reach a consensus: he truly is a charismatic being, capable of crafting an unpredictable stage of Destiny, one that allows us to break free from the mundane Wings, if you will.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Wings?

Isnt that what allows us, shackled and bound, to soar?

Gerard had lost interest in the victims nonsensical ramblings. With his finger pointed at Langna, the Miracle he had silently readied during their conversation activated, and moonlight transformed into chains that tightly bound the only remaining Prison Escapee.

Congratulations on gaining sentiment, it seems you can now repent and pray properly.

Langna did not resist, speaking calmly: The 15th of each month is the Night of Blazing Blood, marking the Blood Moons closest approach to the earth; the 1st of every month is the Night of Dim Blood, representing the Blood Moons furthest distance.

The Moonshadow have a trait: the more intense the Blood Moons night, the stronger the Moonshadow become, and vice versa. Thus, the Moonshadow are strongest on the night of the 15th, and weakest on the night of the 1st.

As a Church defector, the shame of the Moonshadow, even the Blood Moon spits on me, a beast rejected. Langnas voice grew more vehement: Only on the Night of Dim Blood do I become whole.

Look, now even the clouds can obscure the Blood Moon.

Gerard looked up to see a cloud drifting across the night sky, the already dim moonlight further obscured by the overcast, and in the chaos, the camps lighting had been knocked down earlier, leaving the place shrouded in darkness.

Bang!

Langnas chains of Miracle were snapped, and a thick shadow engulfed him, transforming into a fierce and evil deep monster. The darkness of the entire space seemed to thicken, and for some reason, Gerard could feel an emotion named hatred suffusing the pitch-black surroundings, as if hundreds of wolves were watching him from the shadows!

Wow.

Youre not leading us the wrong way, are you? Igor gasped, If we go out there, we might see Gerards surprised face.

I wouldnt get lost I hope not, Ashe said, not entirely certain himself. After all, though the passage was supposed to be one-way, it was hard to say whether the directions had been reversed when he had helped Igor up.

It was all Igors fault, making him doubt himself.

If they had really taken the wrong path, he would have to strongly request that Igor be transferred to another Blood Moon Prison, just to avoid being taunted to death by him for the rest of his life

With a mind full of chaotic thoughts, Ashe mustered his courage, supporting Igor as they stepped into the unknown Kingdom.

What met their eyes was not a massive Blood Moon but a lonely night sky and a bright highway stretching into the distance?

The subsequent sensation of stepping into the void, the intense feeling of weightlessness, made Ashe realize in an instantanother Virtual Realm Passage suspended in mid-air!

This is why Exploring the Virtual Realm Passage is so difficult: in addition to the incompleteness of the Virtual Realm Passage and the animosity that different Kingdoms harbor against Invaders, many explorers might just fall to their deaths as soon as they step out of the passage!

Speaking of which, Ashe remembered that one of the blessings that Priests give to Adventurers includes Light as a Feather, specifically to deal with this kind of situation!

Instinctively, he spread his Silver Wings and shouted, Igor, spread your wings!

Huh? It took Igor almost a second to catch up with Ashes thinking, and by the time he unfurled his Silver Wings, they had both already hit the ground.

Or more accurately, fallen into a cage.

Ashe pushed Igor, who was leaning on him, trying to prop himself up to survey the situation, only to see Harvey also sleeping in the cage. At the same time, he smelled a comforting scent, like blankets just warmed by the sun, and like the aroma of food that greets you before you even enter your home

Ambush, trap Ashes instinct was to cast Slay Me Miracle on himself, but his thoughts were slowing down, and even his arcane energy was becoming sluggish. He struggled to turn his head, and through a blurry vision, he only saw a violet silhouette outside the cage.

According to the Prophecy of the Gospel, tonight only three People from the Exotic Lands will transmigrate. Tie them up, put on the Arcane Lock Collars, and leave immediately.

Lets hope this gift will please the Four Pillars Cult.
