Chapter 142: Power of Chaos

After successfully eliminating the Temporal Anomaly, smiles appeared on the faces of all three people.

Elder Seville spoke to Irving in a friendly tone, "I told you before, as long as we work together, we can definitely reach the unknown space where the Smith family's hidden treasure is located."

Upon hearing this, the smile on Irving's face vanished instantly. He responded coldly, "I just hope you will keep your promise after this is over and release both Donald and Vicky."

Elder Seville nodded, "You can rest assured, I'm not one to break my word! I will definitely keep my promise, as long as you are willing to cooperate with me."

Irving did not respond. He merely walked over to Vicky.

"Are you okay? You must have been quite frightened during the battle. I want you to understand that as long as I'm here, you won't get hurt."

Vicky nodded, her face showing a hint of color.

"Alright, I believe Vicky isn't hurt. Now that we've dealt with the Temporal Anomaly and this gravity-disrupted town has returned to normal, let's move on."

Elder Seville glanced at Vicky, signaling her to take the lead.

Vicky didn't refuse. After all, after everything that had happened, she knew that finding her family's hidden treasure was the only way to ensure her safety. MvLeMpYr-exclusive

With that, Vicky led Elder Seville and Irving through the now-normal town to another large door.

This door was quite different from the ones they had encountered before. The previous doors were all adorned with very complex patterns, but this door was completely blank. Sёarᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Elder Seville's expression darkened slightly.

Irving sensed that Elder Seville must know something.

So he directly asked him, "Do you have any insights about this blank door? Do you think we should go through it?"

Hearing Irving's question, Vicky, who was about to push the door open, stepped back and looked at Elder Seville.

Elder Seville spoke slowly, "In one of the ancient texts I obtained, there's information related to this blank door. According to the record, beyond this door should be an unknown strange space.

However, I'm not sure if the unknown space mentioned in the ancient text is the same as the unknown strange space referred to by the ancestors of the Smith family."

At this point, Elder Seville directly addressed Vicky, "Regardless, Vicky, you have to open the door. If it is indeed the strange space mentioned by your family's ancestors, you shouldn't encounter any danger.

And if it isn't the strange space mentioned by your ancestors, then anyone else opening the door would also face danger.

So, all things considered, it's safest for you to open the door."

As soon as Elder Seville finished speaking, Irving walked over to Vicky.

"If there really is danger behind this door, I think it's better if I open it. After all, my reaction speed is much faster than Vicky's. If she ends up dead here, you won't be able to proceed any further."

While saying this, Irving kept his eyes fixed on Elder Seville. If Elder Seville refused, Irving would choose to fight him right then and there, as he could sense the danger lurking behind the door.

Elder Seville's expression shifted unpredictably, as if he was contemplating whether to accept Irving's suggestion.

After a moment, a gentle smile appeared on Elder Seville's face. "Since you are willing to open the door for her, so be it. My goal is merely to get the door open and move forward."

Having said that, Elder Seville also took a step back, further confirming Irving's suspicion that Elder Seville had not disclosed all the information he knew.

"You should step aside as well. There could be danger when I open the door, and if you're too close, you'll be affected," Irving said to Vicky with a soft look.

Vicky hesitated slightly. "Are you sure you want to open the door yourself? If it turns out to be the unknown strange space my ancestors mentioned, it might be safer for me to do it."

Vicky didn't want Irving to face any danger. After everything that had happened, she had grown very dependent on him. If something happened to Irving, she wasn't sure she could survive on her own.

"Don't you trust my abilities? No matter what danger we encounter, I can handle it easily."

Irving eventually convinced Vicky. After she moved to a safe distance, he took a deep breath and walked briskly towards the blank door.

He placed his left hand on the door first and could feel a very strange power behind it. This power didn't seem overtly hostile, but it was definitely scrutinizing him.

Regardless, Irving had to push the door open. Gritting his teeth, he pushed the door, and a dazzling flash of light hit him in the eyes.

Under the brilliant flash, Irving's consciousness momentarily blacked out. When he regained awareness, he found himself in an unknown strange space filled with what seemed to be all colors and elemental forces.

Next to him, Elder Seville and Vicky were also bewilderedly observing their surroundings.

"Is this the unknown strange space your ancestors mentioned? Not only does it contain all elemental powers, but it also has other indescribable forces we've never felt before."

Irving directly asked Vicky.

Vicky shook her head. Although she thought this could very well be where the Smith family's hidden treasure was, she couldn't be certain.

As Irving and Vicky were slightly bewildered, observing their surroundings, Elder Seville suddenly burst into maniacal laughter.

"Hahaha, I have finally found the Smith family's treasure! I now have the chance to become the strongest elder in the Night Blades!"

Elder Seville laughed and danced with joy, causing both Vicky and Irving to be taken aback.

Irving couldn't understand where Elder Seville had found the Smith family's treasure, especially since he was the first among the three to regain consciousness. If Elder Seville had truly found the hidden treasure, Irving should have sensed it as well.

"Elder Seville, have you really found the Smith family's hidden treasure? Where is it? Why haven't I seen it?"

Irving took a few steps closer to Elder Seville and directly asked.

Elder Seville turned his head and looked at Irving coldly. "Of course, you can't know where the Smith family's treasure is hidden! You simply don't have the talent! And don't even think that I will tell you what the Smith family's treasure is!"

Now that Elder Seville had found the Smith family's treasure, he had no further need for Irving and Vicky.

Irving responded with a faint smile. "Since you have found the Smith family's treasure, it's time to keep your promise. You should let Vicky and me leave, and have your men release Donald, right?"

Elder Seville laughed maniacally again. "Irving, Irving. You're so naive. Did you really think I would keep my promise? I truly don't understand how someone like you possesses such great power. If you were a member of the Night Blades, your power would have been taken by others long ago.

You don't have the intelligence to keep your power."

With that, Elder Seville started to control the parasite within Irving's body, directing it to attack his brain.

Irving felt intense pain in his head, and his limbs started to move against his will. His hands suddenly grasped his own throat.

Seeing this, Vicky was extremely frightened. She began casting healing spells, hoping to ease Irving's pain, while shouting at Elder Seville.

"We helped you find my family's treasure. Since I've given you the family's treasure, why are you doing this?"

Elder Seville sneered. "I may have obtained your family's treasure, but I will never let you leave. I cannot allow anyone else to come here and claim the Smith family's treasure."

After saying this, Elder Seville also controlled the parasite within Vicky's body, directing it to attack her brain.

Vicky let out a scream and collapsed onto the ground composed of various elemental forces.

Elder Seville looked at the suffering Irving and Vicky with smug satisfaction.

He believed his plan had already succeeded completely, so he decided to boast about it before killing Irving and Vicky.

"Since you are both about to die, I might as well be generous and tell you the truth. Did you really think the Smith family's treasure was something tangible? Let me tell you, the Smith family's treasure is not a physical object. The treasure is actually the Power of Chaos, which is formed by the various forces surrounding you.

As long as I can control the Power of Chaos, I will be able to harness all elemental forces. At that point, I will be the most powerful entity within the Night Blades. Given enough time to absorb the Power of Chaos fully, not even the combined official forces of the entire City of Warding will be able to stand against me."

As Elder Seville spoke, he continued to absorb the surrounding Power of Chaos into his body. He could clearly feel his strength increasing rapidly, and his control over the parasites became more refined than before.

However, Elder Seville suddenly noticed something unusual about the parasites inside Irving's body.
