Chapter 519: Take Away and Run Away
In fact, the clone that Anvis used to disguise Will Alfred only barely reached the eighth level in real strength, and was not yet able to instantly detect and counter Shadow's peeping magic.
But Shadow is his now. The scene where Shadow's spell was "countered" was actually her cooperating with Anvis to play the role of Marquis Draka.
The subsequent 'mental disorder' was caused by Avis exerting some influence on her mind through the Seed of Distortion.
Under Anvis' personal charm, Marquis Draka was brutally killed.
After casually giving Atno an order to count how many leaves there were in the forest, Avis ignored him and prepared to deal with the Sword of the King in his hand.
Previously, in order to prevent Etno from being discovered by the people from the other two families as soon as he left the secret room, Shadow deliberately teleported Etno to a more remote jungle when releasing him.
If Atno's presence is not detected, it will take at least ten minutes for two ninth-tier alchemical flying vehicles to pass by here at their speed.
And now, this time becomes the last bit of time for Avis to deal with the Sword of the Chosen King.
He had already learned about the existence of the Sword of the Chosen King through Shadow's memories. It was extremely difficult to conceal the fact that it was like a star in the night sky in the web of fate.
But for him, this problem was not unsolvable. Before coming here, he had already made more than one kind of preparation.
Holding the hilt of the Sword of the Chosen King in one hand, Anvis released the true form of the Old Secret Book, turned it to the last blank page, and activated a spell-like spell [Seal] that he rarely used.
In his estimation, the Secret Scripture of the Old Days, as a rare object that can seal even super-ninth-order beings, should be of a high enough grade to seal an unliberated epic object.
The result was not beyond his expectations. When the pale light of the pages shone on the Sword of the King, the rock-like sword body also began to gradually become transparent, and its presence slowly faded.
However, the speed at which the book pages sealed the Sword of the Chosen King was obviously slower than the previous sealing of the cup of Blood of the Old God, and was closer to the speed of sealing those super-ninth-level beings.
Judging from the current progress, it would probably take at least six or seven minutes to seal it completely.
Avis frowned slightly. At this speed, he might run into some trouble. The Sword of the Chosen King would be more dangerous every second it was exposed to the outside world.
Considering the current urgency of time, he immediately called back Atno who was counting leaves.
"Fly in that direction at full speed. When you see an alchemical shuttle that looks like this in the distance, immediately contact the ninth level of the Alfred family and forget about my existence."
After casually simulating the appearance of the alchemy shuttles of the other two families transmitted by the shadow and letting Atno remember them, Avis directly sent him over as a suicide soldier, and he would hold him off for as long as he could.
After a moment, in Avis's mental perception, a very eye-catching magical fluctuation with a strong glow suddenly erupted in the direction of the sky far away.
Moreover, the source of this breath gave him a very familiar feeling.
There is no doubt that a ninth-level person from the Alfred family has already appeared there.
Looking at the seal that was about to be completed, Avis leisurely poured himself a glass of Xingfu juice.
This is very comfortable.
However, as time went on, the three ninth-level cultivators who were temporarily delayed seemed to have noticed something was wrong here.
But when they arrived at the scene, Anvis had already teleported the original body of the Old Secret Scripture back and disbanded the clone. At this time, what the three ninth-level people saw was only a pool of strange pale gray matter left by the lakeside where the clone dissipated.
"The one just now... was the leader of the Circle of Truth?!"
The ninth-level master who came from the Enoch family this time is another veteran ninth-level master besides the current head of the family and the [Silver Moon Traveler], [Night Veil] Kuleiya.
Like other high-level female spellcasters, she had a beautiful face that made it hard to tell her real age. She had black hair and silver eyes, and the robe she wore was like a tight-fitting corset, which stretched out her alluring S-shaped curves.
At this moment, she leaned down, gently touched the gray matter with her fingertips, and frowned slightly.
It was one of the perception spells she had solidified in her body, which could determine the specific composition of a substance through simple contact.
Regarding the famous Ring of Truth, the four major families of the empire are trying their best to collect various information related to each other.
Therefore, they also knew that the mysterious man who was suspected to be the leader of the Ring of Truth seemed to have never shown his true face and always walked around with his clone.
After the opponent's clone dissipates, it will leave behind a pool of strange gray matter like this. All tracking spells, including prophecy magic, are ineffective against it, and may even cause strange backlash.
In order to confirm her judgment, Kuleiya took out an inscription array plate, placed a handful of gray matter on it, and then injected a trace of mental power into it.
“Bang!!!”
The array plate lit up, but in the next moment, a part of the magic circuit exploded instantly, emitting a burst of green smoke.
"Oh - it seems the result is quite obvious."
After casually putting away the scrapped formation plate, Kuleiya threw away the handful of gray matter and nodded to the other three people.
"Why is the leader of the Circle of Truth here?"
The ninth level of the Alfred family, [Aurora] Ari, also frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled by the other party's intentions.
"The Sword of the Kingchosen! There was the aura of the Sword of the Kingchosen here just now!"
But at this moment, Sid, the ninth level of the Aslade family, the [Golden Knight] who had been keeping his eyes closed and sensing something, suddenly opened his eyes and spoke with a twitching nose.
Then, his sharp gaze suddenly turned to Etno.
"Also, little one, do you know anything about the Sword of the Chosen King?"
He noticed a detail. When he mentioned the Sword of the King, Atno's face suddenly turned pale unnaturally.
"I……"
"Please don't embarrass the younger generation of our family, Lord Sid."
Being stared at by the oppressive gaze of a true ninth-level strongman, Atno's heart suddenly panicked, but fortunately his own ninth-level strongman reacted immediately and blocked Sid's breath for him.
"hehe……"
Seeing Ari's reaction, Sid sneered and said nothing more.
Since Avis took the Sword of the King Chosen away in advance, according to the detection of the makeshift detection accessory in his hand, the real body of the Sword of the King Chosen was indeed not nearby. This was also the core reason why he did not make things too difficult for Atno.
"Let's jointly issue a search warrant for the Circle of Truth, and also pass on a copy of the news that the Sword of the Chosen King was suspected to have been taken away by the Circle of Truth to the royal family."
After a moment of silence, [Veil of Night] Kuleiya expressed what everyone was thinking.
