Chapter 545 - A Big Sewing Needle (2/2)

They got to work immediately.

In the basement, Link was responsible for the core construction. Evelina took care of the refinement while Eliard assisted, learning as he went. Celine was in charge of surveillance outside.

The three Magicians worked together and progressed quickly. Within two hours, they added a sturdy spatial defensive seal outside the imprisonment seal outside the portal seal.

Once this seal started running, it could block all attacks from spells under Level-12. With this insurance, they shouldn’t have to worry about Ariel. Despite this, Link’s anxiousness still wasn’t reduced. This time, he didn’t express it, but he kept his guard up.

After the seal was completed, everyone became free. They rested alone in the building, replenishing their energy. After around three hours, Link’s eyes flew open.

“Get ready! He’s coming!” He could feel the space vibrating in the basement. The ground shook as well, with soft creaks. This was a sign of a long-distance spatial seal operating.

Everyone was shocked.

“Evelina, activate the spatial imprisonment seal when he appears.”

“Got it.”

“Eliard, get a good position. If anything happens, activate this runestone for an energy flood and kill him!”

This rune took a lot of work and resources. It was the product of many Ferde Magicians working together. There was only one currently. It could activate a Level-13 energy flood for emergencies.

“I understand.” Eliard took the runestone and stood in the predetermined spot.

“Celine, stand here. When the magic seal is activated, a strong shield will appear around you. The magic waves that appear after that might disturb your vision, but you must hold tight. Wait until the shield stabilizes before shooting. You must hit the Ethereal prince!”

“Don’t worry. Leave it to me!” Celine’s expression was serious. Grasping the big fire gun, she stood in her spot. Link had specifically modified the space here. She could see others, but others couldn’t see her. It was the safest place in the entire building.

They’d all practiced this many times before and they got into position within half a second now.

The spatial waves in the basement strengthened. Link didn’t do anything in order to not alert Haromed. As soon as the man appeared, Link would make a fatal attack to his physical body!

Link also took out the Ethereal-catching weapon.

Nothing unexpected had happened up to now. After two seconds, there was a flash of silver-white light above the magic seal in the basement. It expanded to around five feet wide, turning into a door.

They could see the scenery on the other side through the door. It seemed to be a big black castle. Link was shocked at this; he recognized it. It was Shadow Walker Morpheus’ hideout—the Palace of Darkness.

The door remained for half a second, and a person walked out.

This guy was dressed in a gray-white robe and hood. His entire body was covered. As soon as he appeared, Evelina mouthed to Link, “It’s him.”

This was Haromed, the Ethereal prince.

The moment he walked out, a message flashed past Link’s vision. He’d completed the mission of finding the Ethereal prince and received a Moon Stone.

Another mission appeared at the same time. He stole a glance and saw that it was to kill the Ethereal prince. He immediately accepted it.

On the other hand, Evelina had acted without hesitation. Her Dragon Power rushed into the magic seal. Countless magical runes overlapped under her foot and illuminated, spreading. Within one-hundredth of a second, the entire space was filled with runes.

They were like anchors that nailed the space down. Affected by the spell, the door behind the Ethereal prince flashed and went out like a candle in the wind. It abandoned Haromed in the death trap Link’s group had set for him.

At the same time, a Level-12 spatial barrier over three feet thick shot up outside the imprisonment seal. It blocked everything that happened inside this building.

Up to this point, everything had gone smoothly according to plan. But for some reason, the unrest in Link’s heart strengthened. It practically hindered him from casting spells normally. He couldn’t attack the Ethereal prince under this situation, so he walked to Celine’s side for protection.

Almost simultaneously, he saw a dark green wooden sword gradually appear in the air behind Celine. It was so secretive and subtle, hiding all murderous intent. It was like a shadow hunter hidden in the sea of space.

The sword’s appearance was very unique. Its body was dark green and so thin it looked like a large sewing needle. If tossed onto the street, people would think it was a thin rusted rod.

Seeing this, Link’s heart jumped. Oh no, it’s a World Impaler!
