Chapter 374: Chapter 354 Proclamation

Chris’s speed was astonishingly fast, retreating a great distance in a blink of an eye.

However, the Wordless Elder, like a shadow that follows, had not fallen behind from the beginning but was always a few meters beside Chris.

Like a shadow that closely followed, it could never be shaken off.

He reached out his hand, trying to touch Chris.

That pale, lifeless hand, if it touched Chris, would instantly cause him to collapse into death.

Suddenly, Chris’s figure stumbled, as if tripped by something, yet at the instant the hand of death was about to touch him, his form blurred again and he disappeared into thin air.

The chase unfolded in the sewers, with Chris flitting through the branches like a specter, his silhouette flickering in and out of visibility, at times leaping up, at other times dashing along the ground, like a black lightning bolt that made it difficult to track his traces.

The Wordless Elder closely followed behind, and their pursuit became more and more intense; every near touch made Chris hold his breath and focus, their speed increasing beyond human limits.

The always silent Wordless Elder exerted tremendous pressure, like a monster that had lain dormant in a dead forest for many years, appearing unclear from the outside, impossible to communicate with, unpredictable in movement, and ready to deliver the deadliest blow at any moment.

However, Chris remained calm from start to finish.

Indeed, that person’s power had declined quite a bit. Although within the mid-level Monarchs the Wordless Elder was still counted among the strong, he could no longer overwhelm Chris.

It was just that Chris could not afford to stop and entangle with the opponent; otherwise, if he couldn’t kill him within a short period and the slower “Silver Poet” caught up, he would die.

Chris made a calm judgment, and the next moment, he suddenly accelerated out of the sewers, heading straight for the edge of the barrier’s range!

However, just as Chris was about to escape, the Cyart Royal Capital’s barrier was successfully raised!

The Royal Capital’s golden big barrier finally rose slowly, the whole city as if enveloped by a layer of mysterious and solemn radiance, the light like a sunrise, both soft and dazzling, spilling into every corner of the city.

The night was dispelled by the golden light, golden ripples appeared in the sky, as if it was covered by golden waves, and as the barrier fully expanded, these golden ripples gradually spread, covering the entire city.

Under the shelter of the Royal Capital’s big barrier, the city became tranquil and peaceful, the citizens looking up with reverence and admiration for this golden world in their eyes.

The power within the barrier instantly pressed down, greatly weakening Chris’s base strength!

His speed plummeted to barely maintainable at a Monarch Level, and what had been only a few seconds away from escape now saw him completely caught up by the Wordless Elder!

There was no avoiding it.

The Wordless Elder reached out his hand calmly.

Although he only quietly extended a hand.

However, the stillness of death hidden within the hand could invoke fear and despair in anyone, as if death itself had descended upon the world!

Chris’s heart was calm, unafraid even if it really meant death.

He knew if he died, his soul would seek refuge in the arms of the great Lord of the Lost, where he would be able to see his sister again.

Death was not a bad thing.

But in the next moment, a miracle occurred.

A thick black fog swooped in all at once, instantly rendering all things colorless; in this black and white world, neither of them could move, and the black fog quickly engulfed Chris completely.

When everything returned to normal, the Wordless Elder startlingly found Chris had disappeared without a trace.

He remained silent for a long time.

“Silver Poet” Aphrodus caught up, and soon “Sword of Salvation” Noah arrived beside them.

“Didn’t you catch up?”

He looked at the Wordless Elder.

“Master, did he run? That person should be Chris Fischer, the strongest of the Fischer family.”

Noah regarded the Wordless Elder with reverence.

The Tranquility Songster, a very powerful being, was the one who led Noah on the path of worshiping the Songster.
