Chapter 872: Zamurian Prison (2/2)

”How did he look?” After a moment of thought, Warden Drake asked.

”His appearance continued to change…I think. Based on what I remember, it seemed like I was looking at a different individual every second. But when I think about it now, I can neither recall his appearance nor his voice,” Krune said as he tried to recall.

”Did he want you to send any message to me?” Warden Drake frowned while asking.

”No.” Krune shook his head. ”He just waved at us to walk away. And, the moment we did so, we arrived at a spot a kilometer from this rock pillar. When we looked back, the terrain had already changed.”

”And…how did you meet him in the first place?” Warden Drake made eye contact with Krune as he continued to question him.

”We tunneled through the ground,” Krune replied, not stating the means they had used to achieve that.

”Fine.” Warden Drake then looked at a soldier that had appeared.

The soldier glanced at Krune and the other as he spoke, ”Warden Drake, we already investigated their backgrounds. They don't have any criminal records. They had been hired as mercenaries for the Pitlook Merchant Caravan. It seems they have abandoned the merchant caravan for some reason and decided to travel alone.”

”Well, let the Mercenary Guild decide their punishment. It's of no concern to us, then.” Warden Drake then waved his hands as he ordered, ”Release them.”

The five cages retreated into the floor as Krune and his group were able to walk free. Warden Drake looked at them, motioning with a tilt of his head. ”Follow me.”

Krune looked at Yulian, communicating with his Divine Sense, ”What is this place?”

”I have no idea either. But, one thing's for sure. This Warden Drake is strong, probably the strongest I've ever seen. His strength is way beyond that of Yuric. I think he can even defeat Yuric in one hit,” Yulian replied.

'So, he's that strong.' Krune nodded, making sure to not show shock on his face as he followed Warden Drake. They moved past a building, coming across an armory where a lot of weapons were stored. There was an open space between two buildings that were used as a training ground for the soldiers.

Currently, two soldiers were sparring, using spears. Each of the blows they traded was powerful, carrying with it a lot of weight. Krune saw how they had layered a faint layer of Godly energy on their bodies and weapons, using it as a medium to enhance their physique.

Moreover, the enhancement seemed beyond what he had ever witnessed. He was also astonished at the pristine quality of Godly energy they wielded. It seemed like the energy flowing was incredibly pure, unlike what other cultivators usually possessed. It stemmed from the way their manipulated and wielded Godly Energy.

Krune saw the workings of the Godly Energy in their forms and immediately comprehended the Energies Cooperation Sub-law to a deeper level than before.

Warden Drake glanced at Krune subtly, noticing how his comprehension deepened with every passing second. He then looked at the sparring soldiers, motioning for them to stop for the time being. He didn't wish to give any benefits to the trespassers.

”Alright, if you head straight from this route, you would exit the Immortal Severance Zone. Our soldiers would accompany you, but to ensure you don't recognize this path in the future, we would have to blind you,” Warden Drake said as a team of soldiers arrived with blindfolds.

Krune and his group were standing at the edge of the settlement walls, staring at a narrow path that proceeded into a mist that blocked them from gazing beyond. The path was only a meter wide. Moreover, it was steep. On top of that, Krune noticed how the depth seemed to be beyond the height of the rock pillar.

Due to the layout of the land, light failed to reach its bottom. So, beyond a depth of 600 meters, everything was dark, preventing him from seeing further below.

”This would lead us to the exit?” Krune frowned as he asked, unable to trust his words.

”We'll only blindfold you once you cross the mist. So, don't worry.” Warden Drake smiled as he said, ”One way in, one way out. Ten thousand guards...and ten of this continent's worst criminals.”

”This place is…?” Xula finally opened her mouth, gazing around as she seemed able to hear faint screaming sounds.

”The Zamuria Prison.” Warden Drake smiled as he replied, ”It's a place where Zamuria Continent's worst criminals are tortured until the end of their lives. Oh, all the prisoners had once been powerful immortals. Only such figures are locked here.”

'Those with a Spiritual Incarnation, I mean.' He smirked, leaving out the last part. He then motioned for them to leave as he continued, ”If you wish to visit here in the future, become an immortal and commit harm to Zamuria Empire. We'll definitely come for you. We can spend a lot of quality time after that.”

”Don't worry.” Krune shook his head as he turned around to walk while saying, ”I have no interest in becoming a criminal.”
