Chapter 1283 - Partners (1) (1/2)
The next few weeks were a blur, but to keep up appearances, Dyon couldn't allow them to escape so easily, nor could he allow them to leave without casualties. Plus, Dyon had no intention of letting them keep treasures he saw as his own. Since they had revealed the existence of the formation cores, they could forget about leaving with them.
In the end, Dyon forced them into a corner where they had no choice but to decide between the formation cores and their lives. And, like the smart individual he knew Prince Nova was, he made the right decision in discarding them.
As a thank you, Dyon gave them injuries that would leave them bedridden for months.
Although for the youngsters it was a nightmare, Dyon himself was living out a great fantasy. He felt like he was a hidden master with cruel tactics but a kind heart. It was as though he had teleported into one of those old kung fu movies.
'I think Master's sadistic side is rubbing off on me.' Dyon thought with a grin. 'Maybe I should find me a worthy disciple to vent out this fantasy properly.'
Hearing his thoughts, somewhere an unborn child still in his/her dad's t.e.s.t.i.c.l.e.s shuddered in fear.

”Master, there's no need for you to come with me. I'll be back after I deal with a few things.” Dyon smiled, trying his best to soothe his nagging master.
Even in spirit form, she had no need of Dyon to sustain her life force because the Mystical World almost had too much of this energy to spare. So, as long as she was here, Dyon never had to worry about her spirit dissipating. In fact, he encouraged the other spirits to stay here as well while promising the Princess of Beauty that he would bring Madeleine to her soon.
Truth be told, the nine spirits breathed a sigh of relief. Everyday they spent in Dyon's Mind's Eye was like another day in prison. The scariest thing in the world to them was that baby turned meditating toddler.
Dyon couldn't blame them, of course. His soul had ”tried” to kill them so many times that he had lost count by now.
Granny Celest watched with a smile as she lazily reclined by a calm river. It had been a long time since she felt so relaxed. Knowing that her daughter had a chance to live again felt amazing.
”Don't forget to bring my other grandson too, Little Dyon. This old lady can only live for such simple things.” She chided softly.
Hearing her mother's words, Esmeralda's eyes also glistened over. She too very much wanted to see her son.
