Chapter 428: The Grandmasters Vision (2/2)
Suddenly, before they could continue their chatter, the skull-faced rings on their fingers suddenly lit up, the same ominous vibrant green light shone through the skull's miniature gemstone eyes. A dreadful, hoarse voice echoed inside their minds in the next moments.
As the voice began to speak, all of them immediately went on their knees and bowed towards the empty air in front of them.
”Get ready Executors, the beginning of the end is upon us. Take your places and complete your assignments.”
”Yes, Number 0!” They all spoke with a respectful tone, acknowledging their tasks. After the two other executors flashed away only Number 3 remained atop the building for a bit longer.
Suddenly, as she was about to jump away, the voice of the first, Number 0 reached out to her once again.
”Number 3, the Grandmaster has listened to your concerns. You have received new orders. Return to the Grandmaster and receive them immediately.”

”Take this Memory Inhibitor in your hands and focus on your memories, deep and hard. This item will then project it to us, so we can see and relive everything you have witnessed. This way there are no mistakes and misunderstandings. You do not mind, do you?”
Aiden nodded, already expecting such an artifact to be presented. On their way back to the ground Drake had already warned him that most likely this precious tool would be brought forward, and used not just on the captive but on him as well. After a brief explanation, he understood how this strange mirror-like object operated, and after a brief discussion with Enya, he was sure that by using the unique traits of his own mind and together with the system, they could make sure to alter what the others watching from the outside would be able to see.
Using his own mind, the System's processing power, and the aid of Enya and even Rygintarth, they created the alternative memories that they planned to let be shown….
