CHAPTER 506: CHAPTER 24: TAMPERING WITH FATE

"Have you dispelled a Delayed Spell?"

On the opposite side, recognizing Yasila’s gestures, Sikasa slightly frowned.

"That is to say, there is something here that I am unaware of. You intended to use a Delayed Spell to attack it but had to cancel it prematurely because I intercepted you.

If you didn’t cancel it, you would have dragged me into it as well.

But now, seeing your instinctive reaction, there seems to have been some unexpected development that caused you to lose control of the situation. Did the cancellation fail? Or perhaps..."

"Shut up! Roar!!"

Provoked by the opponent’s disgustingly calm deduction, peeling off her past experiences, and stimulated by a strong sense of crisis in her mind, Yasila suddenly roared, releasing her Bloodline True Form and entering Wild Ferocity state.

A pure golden shadow of a Giant Dragon appeared on the battlefield, and simultaneously, lifeblood energy, like burning flames, enveloped the dragon’s body with a thick layer of crimson blood flames.

Although this outburst would cause her to be weak for some time afterwards, it would allow her combat strength to match her opponent briefly. The instinctive combat mode of the wild also maximized the cancellation of the opponent’s predication.

She had no intention of explaining anything to the annoying person in front of her; people from the Aslade Family never feared any challenges.

Since the situation was beyond control, all she needed was to break through the opponent’s interception in the shortest time possible and then escape from here!

.........

"My lord, all the targets chosen from the Four Great Families have entered the ruins."

At this moment, on the mountaintop beside the ruins canyon, an invisible Ninth Order Domain Power envelopes the area, shielding it from external prying.

Within the Domain, two figures cloaked in robes, their faces blurred, stood facing the ruins from a distance.

At this time, the figure standing behind is holding a strange book, reporting something to the figure in front.

Based on the voice, she seems to be a woman.

"What about the situation with the Royal Family?"

"The Royal Family is temporarily unresponsive, just as you predicted, as they just received the message and are discussing who should be sent to retrieve the Sword of King Selection."

"Then, we can proceed to the next step. The self-destruction of the ruins may not be enough to hold them back... oh, perhaps the little guy from the Olivendi Family won’t make it. But he’s smart enough not to come personally, instead, he sent his subordinate to explore in his stead.

Hah, it seems he truly trusts this subordinate, even daring to let him retrieve such an epic artifact as the Sword of King Selection."

After listening to the report, the figure in front nodded.

But no sooner had he spoken than his gaze shifted abruptly, noticing some changes.

As the two watched, the figure of Daws, who had quickly fled from the ruins due to Anvis’s surprise, suddenly emerged from the surface of the ruins.

Although he didn’t manage to retrieve that seemingly precious Stone Sword, as the ’first explorer’, Daws found quite a few valuable items in other parts of the ruins.

At this moment, a satisfied Daws only wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible, not wanting to be remembered by the strong professional he had encountered earlier, though he was also puzzled as to why the latter, despite having entered the Barrier, had not pulled out the sword.

"An unexpected little fish that swam in?"

Savoring the sight of Daws, who looked around before quickly fleeing, the figure in front spoke softly, his tone meaningful.

"I’m sorry... my lord."

The figure standing to the side slightly bowed, but made no further movement.

"Let there be no next time, Shadow."

Watching Daws, now just a speck in the distance, the figure standing ahead gave a bland warning. Then, reaching out, he gently clenched his hand in the direction of Daws.

Suddenly, Daws’ running form shuddered. Golden flames instantaneously rose from his body, reducing him and his belongings to ashes.

"Yes, my lord."

Observing the golden human torch in the distance, the figure behind bowed their head even more deeply.

Although the tone of the person in front was flat, if she did not take this warning seriously, her fate would be the same as the minor character who had fled.

"Then, we can begin recording."

Having casually dealt with the fleeing minor character, the figure ahead redirected his gaze towards the direction of the ruins and took out a talisman, holding it in the palm of his hand.

The figure behind, as instructed, opened the thick book enveloped in a faint grey mist she had been cradling in her arms and took out a feather pen to begin recording.

"In a past incident where a spellcaster who entered the Empire Vault and stole the Sword of King Selection left behind a secret laboratory, Yasila Aslade was the first to find the Sword of King Selection but also triggered the lab’s self-destruct system."

When he tried to flee, he was blocked by Sikasa Enoch, preventing him from escaping before the ruin’s destruction."

Unaware of the situation, Aitno Alfred continued to explore deeper into the ruins, while the subordinates sent by Anvis Olivendi were... huh?"

Saying this, the figure suddenly uttered a surprised sound.

Before his eyes, the figure of Anvis cloaked in a cape suddenly appeared from the entrance of the ruins.

The shadow, who was actively recording, also stopped writing and looked at the master he served.

"Quite a lucky fellow..."

Muttering to himself, the figure adjusted the content he was about to say.

"The subordinates deployed by Anvis Olivendi managed to flee in time, escaping at the last moment without being involved."

Having decreed the ’fate’ of the parties involved like a proclamation, the figure in front extended his spiritual power, directly activating the talisman in his hand.

Thus, just as Anvis had barely escaped from the ruins, a magic power beam as bright as the sun grazed his body and shot violently into the sky.

The next instant, the subspace entrance of the ruins collapsed under the massive magic power impact, and then distorted and vanished like a water-splashed oil painting, binding all the destructive power within the subspace fragments.

However, within hundreds of miles, three spots in space suddenly distorted.

Three disheveled figures emerged from the twisted space, all appearing significantly injured from their aura.

Uniquely, a stone sword along with Sikasa’s figure appeared together and dropped in front of him.

But before the trio could react, they were enveloped by a Ninth Rank Rule Domain. Simultaneously, three individuals in black appeared in front of them.

"...After taking the Sword of King Selection from the severely wounded Yasila Aslade, Sikasa Enoch, to prevent the leakage of information, sealed his consciousness with a secret technique and personally killed him.

He completely disassembled the body and soul using a secret technique, exiling the remnants into the endless depths of the Deep Dream World. He then destroyed the battlefield area for hundreds of miles with Superposition Magic, erasing all traces of the battle."

"And Aitno Alfred, due to severe injuries, died in a coma under Sikasa’s Superposition Magic.

However, one person unexpectedly witnessed all this; to save himself, he escaped back ahead of time using his own secret technique and conveyed all the information to his master, Anvis Olivendi—"

Having settled the fate of the individuals in a calm tone, after the shadow finished recording, the figure in front took the book and stamped his own spiritual imprint on it.

Just as Anvis was about to use divination to check the situation, he felt a certain Destiny Power suddenly descend upon him, only to be repelled by the Destiny Feedback Force surrounding his destiny lines.
