Chapter 571: Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (1/2)

It was only now that Raven truly understood the severity of the situation and what his purpose was here.

Out of all the things he'd expect to see, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were the last thing he was expecting.

Currently from what he could see, all four of them and their steeds were bound with a seal, at the same time though, Raven could accurately judge that the seal would hold them for long. It was evident by their thick villainous aura leaking from the seal itself.

”Right. This is where the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are sealed.” The Sect Master said, ”This is also the reason why I brought you here. Try to inspect the seals and see if you could repair them.”

Raven nodded solemnly as they flew closer to the areas where the seals are placed.

He had no way of seeing what the Four Horsemen looked since they were concealed by the seal itself. Raven also didn't careless dared to look through his ocular technique lest anything unexpected happens.

Compared to the devils on the Devil Emperor's Pagoda, the Four Horsemen are far more dangerous. According to the tales left behind by the Ancestors of the sect, the Four Horsemen are the loyal servants of the Devil Emperor itself, which means that their power is unlike that of the abominations that were born from the Devil Emperor.

It was said that just by merely looking at the Four Horsemen, one's mind will instantly be corroded by the Principle that they Represent. And as their titles suggests, they are the ushers of Apocalypse itself.

Now, the details of how they were sealed were mostly unknown since the one who sealed them weren't really a part of the sect. According to the records, it was a person who were dubbed as the Ancestor Sealer who dealt with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

However, just like the Devil Emperor itself, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse proved to be too strong for Ancestor Sealer so in the end, they weren't killed but sealed instead.

Not many details are known about the Ancestor Sealer but he was definitely there, and since he wasn't truly a part of the Sect, no one inherited his mantle.

Raven inspected the seals and analyzed them carefully. Unfortunately, it was challenging to concentrate since the voices of the Horsemen were too loud and distracting.

Annoyed, Raven snorted and took out the Brush of Wisdom. He then drew a rune while saying: ”Silence!”

A giant rune appeared in the air, forming the word 'Silence' while releasing pulses of foreign energy. Thanks to the rune, the voices of the Four Horsemen died out, allowing Raven to focus on his work.

The Sect Master, his wife and Elder Fallon looked at each other.

”I guess they were being noisy.” Alwina shrugged, the rune didn't have any effects on them since they were recognized as friendly forces by the rune that Raven created.

”That's interesting...” Elder Fallon said, ”This rune is created out thousands of basic runes. It should be able to have any effects on the Four Horsemen but the intent behind it was so strong that it completely nullified the fluctuations being released from the seals.”

”I'm more impressed by the fact that he could hear them better than we do. Just like I thought, bringing him here was a good idea.” The Sect Master added.

The three remained silent and allowed Raven to focus on his work. After an hour, Raven took a deep breath and faced them, his face looked a bit spent but the clarity on his eyes remained.

”I'm done Sect Master.” He said.

”How's it?” The Sect Master asked.

”I can indeed repair the seals. It shouldn't be difficult, only I don't have enough energy to seal all four of them simultaneously. Repairing one seal would drain all of my energy and it'll take time for me to recover. I'm afraid that these four share a connection against each other, and if they feel the seals being repaired, they'll start retaliating.” Raven reported honestly.

”That's not a problem. I have a way for you to make a complete recovery. You don't need to worry about their retaliation either we can handle their tantrums long enough for you to seal them back.” The Sect Master was jubilant.

At first he wasn't confident about Raven's chances. Don't forget that Raven was merely a Saint Knight, forget about dealing with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, just clearing the 30th floor of the Devil Emperor's Pagoda should be an insurmountable task for him. The Sect Master just want to have his options available.
