Chapter 730 Better Late Than Never!

Chapter 730 Better Late Than Never!

After Lauren's return from her mission to the south of the continent, she was soon in seclusion, pursuing her advancement to the 5th stage.",

At 26, she was one of the greatest prodigies of the northern region in the current generation, having earned her position after tens of thousands of deaths, but also a lot of investment by Nixlas' Shadows.

As much as they had forced her to come to this place, and brainwashed her to forget her past and become a killing machine, the sect had given her every opportunity to grow.

From magical resources to special cultivation sites, even targets for her to train her powers and stimulate her growth through challenges. The sect had made her path easier by making her the principal weapon among the organization's young generation.

Not only did Lauren hold the position of the sect's top prodigy, she was also the current heir to the sect master, whom she would replace once she became a High-level Paragon.

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm With the green scythe on her forehead—a very ancient symbol of death—her fate could not be any other!

As she went into seclusion, the sect master couldn't help but ask Lauren's companions how his chosen one had fared.

One of the three men who had returned with her sighed and said. "For the most of the time, everything went as expected. We dealt with the problems we had expected and carried out the missions with the same success rate as always."

The Beginner Archmage in front of those three men in a hall overlooking a cliff heard this and frowned. "What went wrong?" he asked, sensing the 'most of the time' related to problems.

"While we were heading south, we came up against a strange opponent. A man called Vicente Fuller. He was already an old acquaintance of the Miss. As far as we know, she had given him an ultimatum to join us. When he refused during our meeting in Andoria Kingdom, we acted against him, intending to avoid a future problem."

"So?" the sect master asked, not seeing how this had been a problem.

If they were there, it didn't mean that Vicente had died, or even if he had survived, that he had done nothing wrong to the group?

The man hesitated for a while, but eventually conveyed what had happened in that city in the south-central region of the continent. "We acted against him and the Miss wrote his name in the Book of Death. But he didn't die. His name was erased from her book and we all fainted afterwards."

However, one using such a method could never fool another Dark Path magician, especially someone as talented and sensitive as Lauren.

'Don't tell me he has two magical powers?' The Archmage swallowed his saliva in concern, having never heard of such a thing before.

'I'll communicate with the vampires. Perhaps they know something or can settle the matter with this strange young man.' He quickly approached his desk and wrote a letter.

In less than a minute, he had placed a small parchment in a special artifact, then attached it to the paw of a black-winged flying beast trained to come and go from The Ivory Desert.

...

A few days passed and today Vicente's group was close enough to the mountain where Nixlas' Shadows' headquarters stood for them to see the place.

At the sight of the gigantic castle, parts of which shrouded in black mist, Vicente stopped in front of his group, feeling thrilled to have reached this point in their journey.

A few minutes away from reaching that place, he was close to fulfilling his mission of revenge and completing all the promises he had made to himself in Saltstar City 12 to 13 years ago.

If it hadn't been for The Purification and the current calamity on the continent, his journey after today would have been more peaceful, with him being able to live without thinking about revenge and bigger goals.

But even if he still had problems to solve after today, dealing with Lauren's kidnapping would certainly remove a great deal of hurt from his heart.

'I hope you're still alive, Lauren. It took me a while, but I'm finally here!' he thought as he got moving again, leading his group towards the entrance to the enemy headquarters, where sect observers had already spotted the group approaching the enormous castle.

Vicente's companions were already aware that they had attracted attention, each of them stopping hiding as they circulated their mana to prepare for the conflict about to begin.

Their aim was to take Lauren and act brutally against their enemies before dealing with everyone in the area and then return to the south of the continent!Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com
