Chapter 544: Island of Devil’s Maw (49)

Translator: Lonelytree

The Cage of Despair was placed right inside the giant hole at the centre of the crystalline maze. This was a very space, it was right between the Island of Devil’s Maw’s reverse isle and normal isle. The time flow between these two isles were inverted but at this place, it was an amalgamation of positive and negative, and time flowed both ways. At that moment, standing at the bottom of the hole looking up, one could see the sky of the normal isle... there was a blood moon that was mixed with some purple mist and the surrounding crystals were shining weakly so it was not completely dark.

Bang bang bang—

Suddenly the sound of multiple Geppos came from above. A red shadow leaped through the air like wind and was careening downwards. Several seconds later, the figure landed with both of his feet and shattered a large piece of crystals. Feng Bujue at that moment was already covered in blood and his gaze was as unforgiving as the coldest winter.

“You sure are a quick runner...” Soon, a large figure slowly floated down from the sky. The person who arrived was none other than the ‘executioner’. At that moment, Executioner was holding Ambitionist by his hair, dangling him in his hand. Ambitionist temporary was not dead, but he had lost his power of resistance, he did not even have the energy to reach into his inventory to take any potion...

With regards to Pegasus... the man unfortunately was unable to survive.CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m

“hah... or perhaps, your reflex is surprisingly fast...” Executioner said as he stopped above 3 metres off the ground. He swung his arm and casually dropped the dying ambitionist to the ground. “Facing my ambush, you were able to evade with such extreme actions... that was indeed out of my expectation.”

“Your method of attack surely does not reflect your power level...” Feng Bujue replied coldly as he glanced at Ambitionist from the corner of his eyes. Brother Jue did not rush forward to rescue Ambitionist because he understood that the man tossed Ambitionist down was mostly likely he was trying to use his teammate as a bait to lure him over...

“Why? Are you trying to say that I am a cunning person?” Executioner scoffed. “ha ha... That is just laughable, you said that a strong individual cannot choose to strike from a person’s behind?”

“Hmm, you have point there.” Feng Bujue to his surprise, agreed. “But you better remember what you have said today...”

“Feng... Bu.... Jue!” Suddenly a roar came from behind Brother Jue. This familiar voice carried with it endless anger and hatred. Feng Bujue instantly took a few steps to the side and used the corner of his eyes to glance at the source of the voice... In the shadows, he saw a large crystalline cage. The ‘cage’ appeared to be an oval-shaped rattan ball but it was weaved from crystal. The inside was hollow and inside the cage was trapped a monster with a pair of large horns.

“Hmph... There is no need to raise your voice, you little nobody...” Sam Montier said snidely, “This cage of despair is not even your creation, it is the product of the Master of Time and you are nothing more than a key keeper....” He leaned his face close to the edge of the cage. A pair of earthy yellow eyes glowed with actual threat. “...who do you think you are to dare to order me around?”

Executioner’s face was twisted from shame and anger. But he was not in the place to explode... because he knew that Sam Montier was about to break out from his enclosure soon.

“he... he he he he he...” Suddenly, the Executioner laughed, it was not a laughter from extremely anger but he was laughing wickedly, “Even though you have been captured as an inmate, your personality has not changed at all...” He said as he lowered from the sky. “And you...” He turned to Brother Jue, “As a mere human, you dare to critique me?” Executioner landed on the ground and shrugged. “But it does not matter... how you two view me, after all, today, I am just a passer-by...” he raised his hand to point at Feng Bujue, “Feng Bujue, haven’t you and your teammates have been finding a way to ‘unlock the cage of despair? He he he he...” he laughed a few more times. “I have already helped you open it, no need to thank me.”

Hearing that, Brother Jue’s expression shifted slightly. While Executioner continued, “The blood that sticks to your body... the blood in the veins of the kid who was wearing the Saint Seiya outfit, that is the key to open the cage.”

Crack—

As he finished, the cage that trapped Sam Montier gave off a very unsettling sound, it sounded like something tough breaking open...

“he is the disciple of Tureus, the God of Truth, right...” The Executioner continued to explain. “he he... when his blood... drips onto this space, the seal will be broken.”

Pi pat pi pat...

After the first crack, it was followed by a series of chain reaction. In just several seconds, the crystalline cage that previously held Sam Montier had crumbled and shattered on the ground in pieces. Obviously after the seal was loosen, the crystalline cage turned back into a normal cage... the earlier slams from Sam Montier was enough for the cage to start cracking.

“Current quest completed. Main quest updated.

“Current quest completed. Main quest updated.”

This continuous and repeated hints meant that Brother Jue had completed two missions at the same time. Once he opened the quest tab, he could see that, other than ‘searching for the way to open the cage’ and under that, there was a new quest, which was ‘unlock the seal on the cage’ and the latter practically was done the moment it popped up.

“Qie...” Feng Bujue grumbled under his breath. “This new quest sure is surprisingly easy...”

Actually it was not easy at all...
