Chapter 1130: 349. To fulfill one’s duty diligently
He bent over to engrave the magical runes, striving to lure Jay Spade out as quickly as possible.
About an hour and a half later, more than a hundred mechanos, designed to act as decoys, were ready.
They were divided into ten groups, each tasked with diverting a certain Light Wizard.
Although the sea monster images created by Illusion Magic were easily exposed upon close inspection, they should serve their purpose as decoys.
After all, Noland Lee’s goal was merely to lead them away, not to use the mechanos in an ambush or the like.
While Noland Lee, Denise Green, and Nolin were checking the mechanos one by one, the Assassin Angel made a decision.
“Your proposal is valid, but I will not proceed in such a manner,”
said the Assassin Angel:
“If I fail to stop the Metal Ancestor Dragon’s conspiracy because I did not accept your proposal, then I would be a martyr to the order of the Supreme Star Palace, not a failed speculator.”
Noland Lee couldn’t help but hold the Assassin Angel in solemn respect.
Setting aside whether the Assassin Angel was too stubborn, inflexible, and resistant to change, the sheer loyalty to the Supreme Star Palace was enough to command Noland Lee’s admiration.
“Are the mechanos ready?” the Assassin Angel inquired.
Noland Lee glanced at the metal contraptions filling the room:
“They are ready.”
The Assassin Angel stated:
“Good, I will apply the “Veil of The World” to your mechanos, hiding their metal components so the Metal Ancestor Dragon won’t detect them.”
An invisible rhythm of energy emanated from the ring on Noland Lee’s finger, wafting towards the mechanos.
Only Noland Lee was aware of this undulation, as neither Denise nor Nolin detected its presence.
The Assassin Angel completed the enchantment on the mechanos swiftly.
Noland Lee cast Deconstruction to check.
Though the mechanos appeared unchanged to the naked eye, they now bore a status called “Veil of The World.”
As the Assassin Angel had mentioned, these mechanos still looked metallic, but they had completely lost the possibility of being detected, utilized, possessed, or altered by Metal Magic.
Noland Lee and Nolin gave a few instructions, directing their distant female assistant in the Suman Archipelago to commence the operation.
All the mechanos would be controlled by Nolin.
They would be divided into ten groups and deployed in succession, luring away the targets one by one.
At a conservative estimate, in no more than twelve hours, or by midnight today, Jay Spade would be isolated.
As for whether the team members leaving one by one would arouse Jay Spade’s suspicion,
that wasn’t a major concern.
That’s because the Assassin Angel had already placed a marker on him before he could become suspicious.
The entire placement process wouldn’t take more than half a minute.
