Chapter 645 - 590: Kass Boler (1/2)

Arthur walked in front of the Midolf and Radolf and raised his hand. Tiny black threads made of Dark Magic wrapped around the chains and slowly corrupting them. In less than a minute, the chains were inky black, and when Radolf wriggled, they disintegrated. As for the white-haired youth, he was reluctant to move at all. He gave a hesitant look to Arthur, his lips opening and closing without saying anything.

”What's wrong with him?” Arthur was fully aware of the roc's weird personality so he asked Radolf, who's calmer and more reasonable.

”He- he's just too lazy to move.”

The red-haired youth lied to Arthur as he couldn't speak of the real problem when Zaarae is meters away. She seemed to only care about Arthur and it would do them no good to provoke her. Radolf violently nudged Midolf before getting up and politely bowing toward his master. The white-haired youth was a second too late but he still imitated the same actions, though his eyes kept looking at the ground.

”I know you haven't recovered yet but we need to leave now.”

Arthur waved his hand, motioning for them to follow him as he left the small cell. Zaarae walked just inches left of him, her body ever-so-slightly lagging behind, on purpose. She didn't speak anymore but her eyes showcased her emotions as they lingered on Arthur's back and face for minutes.

The 13th floor wasn't big so it took them a very short time to reach its entrance, however, there was a silhouette waiting for them. Arthur prepared himself as he coated his body with Dark Magic and prepared to attack at any given second. He wasn't in the range for appraisal but the pressure emanating from the figure was alarming enough.

Even Zaarae momentarily knitted her brows but her expression soon returned to normal. Arthur stopped ten meters away and stared at an old man with a bent back, long white hair, a face that was suffering from the vicissitudes of times, and a short wooden cane that helped him move around.

”Master, he's the Chief Guard of the fifth level,” Radolf warned Arthur, who relied on appraisal, to get some useful information.

'God Race? Isn't it extinct?'

”Yes, master, the god race is current extinct but there are small tribes which are the Gods' descendant, sort of. They only have a fraction of their ancestor's powers and are persecuted against by many races, mainly humans, elves, and demons.”

The old man, Kass Boler, turned his head toward Arthur, his old eyes looking at the tall middle-aged man wearing black leather pants and an unfamiliar armor which protected his top side. Arthur wasn't the type to rely on equipment but since the environment wasn't suitable for large hosts, he could only rely on this armor, which grants a decent boost to his defense and can block a couple of attacks from an Exalted God. It has other miscellaneous functions but they probably won't work inside the prison.

Kass glanced at Midolf, who was emitting a small white light that healed him and Radolf. He couldn't fully use his Life Energy but this amount was enough to slowly recover their bodies and allow them to fight in case an enemy appears.

”Arthur MoonStar?”

With an archaic hoarse voice, Kass used a polite tone to ask the parasite, who was startled by these words.

'Does he have Appraisal too? No, it shouldn't be possible. He doesn't even have the System!'

”…”

For a couple of breaths, Arthur didn't reply and only studied the Chief Guard, who appeared calm and non-hostile, but it can be a facade to trick him.

”You've got the wrong person.” Arthur calmly replied. However, right after saying that, the pressure from the old man increased and pressed down on him but it only lasted for a split second before a cool and refreshing aura enveloped him. This aura emanated from behind, precisely from Zaarae, who snorted and said:

”Old foggy, you better behave yourself! The only reason I haven't killed you yet is because you treated me well in the past!”

The aura emanating from the Empress easily suppressed Kass, who chuckled and apologetically bowed.

”These old bones were just curious. I happen to have a matter to discuss with him, that's all.”

A kind expression was plastered on the old man's face as he flashed an elderly smile while looking at Zaarae and Arthur. In fact, he didn't seem to care about the escapees standing behind.
