Chapter 535: Catch Them All
Things turned out pretty much as Lianyi had guessed. Most of the robbers were unconscious, including Gloria's family and guards. Simon and his men were originally hiding in a cave on the other side to avoid meeting Gloria's family, so after discovering something unusual, his guards opened a magic circle to allow them to temporarily avoid the erosion of the potion.
But they underestimated Raul's ability. This potion would not be completely isolated by the isolation magic circle, but only slowed down the speed of penetration. By the time they reacted, two more people around Simon fainted.
Simon's magician servant immediately stopped him from rushing out and asked him to wait in the cave for the other party to fall into his trap.
"Did Gloria really find help?"
"Master Simon, I'm not sure yet, but I think we should not go out rashly. When those people think we are unconscious and come in without any defense, that's when we can fight back."
The magician beside him felt that there was a magic circle covering the entire cave, so he didn't dare to test it rashly, fearing that the other party would find out that they didn't faint. Of course, he didn't know how many people there were on the other side, and whether the three of them could handle it. He could only advise his young master to lie in wait for the time being.
Simon always felt a little uneasy, but he gritted his teeth and hid.
He was already a golden knight and had a girl he loved, but in order to get the help of the Naxi family, he had no choice but to marry Gloria as arranged by his elders. He was temporarily unable to resist and could only interact with Gloria diligently.
But privately he was still in contact with the girl he liked and they were secretly dating each other. The girl didn't want to be Simon's lover, so she gave Simon an idea.
"Simon, what your family wants is nothing more than the power of the fantasy beast. Why do you have to marry Gloria? You can just keep her fantasy beast captive!"
"Gloria is not stupid, why would she hand over her fantasy beast? Without her fantasy beast, she is not even a civilian."
Simon shook his head.
"It is definitely impossible to ask her to voluntarily hand over her fantasy beast. But what if she has a weakness in your hands and has to hand over her fantasy beast as you say?"
The girl blinked her narrow eyes and seduced Simon.
"Weak spot!"
Simon seemed to be thinking about something after listening to it, and then he seemed to have thought of something. He kissed Mary happily and praised her for her understanding. Then he contacted a group of desperate criminals, and took advantage of the opportunity that the Nasi family was going to Paro City to create a scene of encountering robbers on the road and control Gloria's relatives.
He originally planned to capture Gloria as well, and then threaten her to compromise by using the lives of her relatives, but Gloria's phantom beast was really powerful, and it managed to lead her out of the encirclement, making her the only and most important fish that escaped the net.
Simon was furious and cursed the leader of the group harshly. He then ordered these people to search for the mirror from Gloria's mother Lillian, intending to use the mirror to ask Gloria for help. Unexpectedly, Gloria sent a message first and said that she had found help to save them.
Simon was relieved. As long as Gloria didn't escape, he would definitely catch her this time. So he immediately arranged for the muscular man to lead people to block Gloria, and let the other party provoke the relationship between her and the helpers she found, and then take the opportunity to capture her.
He continued to wait for news here until he found that the people in the cave had fainted. Then he realized something was wrong. However, rushing out at this time would be disadvantageous for them. He asked the magician to imitate Lillian's voice and said only two words before stopping. This way, Gloria would rush in regardless and be caught by them. As long as she was caught, his magician could open the magic door and let them leave here instantly.
But after such a long time, there was no movement. After Simon's eyelids twitched again, he decisively said to the magician follower beside him:
"Hurry up and open the magic door, we have to leave here now."
Since it was the young master's order, the magician immediately grasped the magic wand and began to communicate with the wind element to open the magic door.
With a "puff" sound, a silver sword tip emerged from the magician's chest in the next second. When he lowered his head to look at his chest, the magic wand in his hand fell to the ground. The magic door had not been constructed yet, the wind element dispersed instantly, and the magic circle that was opened to resist the unknown potion in the air also quickly dissipated.
Simon's heart skipped a beat, and the next moment he drew out the long sword from his waist to block an attack. The two swords collided with each other, and the sound was very clear. When Simon drew his sword back, sparks flew from it and the opponent's sword.
"who!"
"The one who wants you dead!"
Ripple said lazily.
At this time, the phantom beast Ayin had already reported the situation inside to Gloria, and he assisted Knight Gray in killing the most difficult magician. After protecting Lianyi and launching a sneak attack on Simon, he retired and quickly returned to his master.
Gray killed the magician next to Simon, took his magic wand, and turned to attack another knight.
The opponent's knight level was obviously not comparable to Gray's. Even if he summoned his own phantom beast, Gray still chopped off his head. The moment the knight died, his contracted phantom beast howled and dissipated into the air.
Simon was the only one left fighting against Lian Yi. Gray did not leave, but held the sword in his hand, ready to take over immediately if Lian Yi was exhausted. Anyway, he could not let this man get away.
On the other side, Gloria, Leia and Raye, under the leadership of Returning Ayin, came to the large cave outside and saw people lying on the ground. Raye held the magic circle in his hand and directly tapped it on the forehead of the fallen robber, shattering his soul.
Under Ayin's guidance, Gloria found her relatives. The magic binding array on them had been dissipated, and they were all unconscious due to the effects of the potion.
Gloria immediately took out the extra leaves she had asked for, crushed them, and smeared them on the noses and under the eyes of her relatives and guards. In less than two minutes, they woke up slowly. The first thing Lillian did when she saw Gloria was to tell her to run away quickly, saying that the mirror she used for communication had been stolen.
"Don't worry, mother. I have found help."
Then a scream was heard from deeper inside. After dealing with the robbers, Raye and Leia looked at each other, nodded to Gloria, and rushed into the cave.
The scream came from Simon. Even though he summoned his own mythical beast, Megatron, and increased his strength, the arm holding the sword was still cut off by the ripples.
"Please don't kill me! I'll give you whatever you want!"
Simon, with a pale face, held his bleeding wrist and began to beg in a low voice.
"Why did you bring people to kidnap Gloria Nashi?"
"I just want her phantom beast!"
"If she dies, the fantasy beast will return to the fantasy beast space."
"I just want to force her to break the contract with her own mythical beast. My magician has a way to control Ayin!"
Simon lowered his eyes and explained in a low voice.
"So this is what you were thinking!"
Gloria appeared at the entrance of the cave and said coldly to the embarrassed Simon.
"Gloria, please let me go! It was Mary who seduced me into doing this."
See you tomorrow~
