Chapter 510: Centaur Devil (2/2)

”I nearly shat myself there.” Jason commented as he grabbed on Raven's arm, it was clear that's he's still pretty shaken about the whole incident but he was trying his best to overcome it.

”Go rest, I'll replace you.” Raven stated. He then looked at the tents and said: ”You guys too, rest and recover. Try to shake it off. It's gone.”

”Wouldn't it be better for us to return instead?” Jason asked, a bit hesitant himself. ”Sure we're going to have a stain on our records but it's better than sending ourselves to the jaws of death right?”

Raven was silent for a bit. Jason's words made sense but he felt a bit reluctant to return just like that. Of course, he too was considering their safety but he also didn't want to fail the mission since it's going to be troublesome. Suddenly, an idea struck him.

”I'll contact Senior Brother.” He said to Jason.

”Didn't they say that transmissions doesn't work here? How are you going to do that?” Jason asked.

”Don't worry, I have my ways.” Raven replied, he then tapped Jason in the back and said: ”You go rest first, I'll deal with it. I'll tell you guys how it went and we'll go from there.”

”Alright, man. Thanks, I'll go pass out on my tent for now.” Jason stated causing Raven to chuckled.

He then watched as Jason limped towards his tent and closed it. As for himself, he sat down in the middle of the formation and checked if it's still working as intended. As soon as he finished double-checking it, he sat down and took out several items that he could use to contact Henry.

Raven tinkered some things and ended up with a small table with an array of gemstones embedded on it. The table is filled with several runic seals connecting each gems.

He then placed a hair belonging to Henry, one that he collected during the last time they met. He then tied it to a medium and placed a drop of his blood on it. He then injected the table with his cosmic energy and started forming hand seals.

Not too long after that, a screen of light emerged in front of him showing Henry who looked like he was handling some paperwork.

”Senior Brother.” Raven called out. He then saw Henry sharply raising his head and looking around him until he saw Raven's face within the light screen.

Henry looked stunned, his eyes widened a bit as he asked: ”Is that you Raven?”

”Yes, it's me Senior Brother.” Raven answered.

”What sorcery is this? Wait, how do I confirm that it's really you?” Henry's face turned serious as he asked this.

Raven didn't say anything, instead he lifted a finger and released a wisp of Cleansing Flames. Seeing that was a proof of his identity.

”Alright, I believe you. But is there really a need for this? A sound transmission would've done it.”

”I'm not in Tartarus Senior Brother, we're here at the Devil's Cradle.” Raven revealed, causing Henry to be shocked once more. He was about to say anything but Raven interrupted him. ”One moment please, Senior Brother. I want to tell you something that takes precedence.”

”What is it?”

”We've encountered something that and we want to hear your input about it.” Raven then lifted a drawing board with a detailed sketch of the Centaur Devil. As soon as Henry saw this, his eyes widened like saucers.

”Where did you see that!?”

”We're at the 970 mile mark, we saw it patrolling the edges of 1000 miles mark.” Raven replied.

”What!?” Henry was greatly alarmed, he then urgently said: ”Retreat! Don't worry about the mission and retreat as soon as possible! I'll come there and get you!”
