Chapter 659 Offer
The agents tried to defend themselves, but they were no match for the Half-Immortals. They were quickly overwhelmed and defeated by the powerful spells…
However, because they couldn't feel the killing intent from the spells coming from the two Half-Immortals, Agent Fox and the others were hesitant to reveal their secret weapons.
In the end, Agent Fox ordered a retreat…
As soon as she did this, four Runecasters stepped forward and threw an orb to the ground.
Boom!
The orb created a mist that allowed them to retreat away from the castle walls. Furthermore, the place they retreat in already has a huge Magic Circle drawn on the ground that they can activate anytime!
Apparently, one of the Agents was setting up this Magic Circle while they were battling against the two Half-Immortals.
Vale had no idea what that Magic Circle could do, but if he were to make a guess, he felt that it was most likely used to escape…
Nevertheless, Agent Fox remained in her position, standing closest to Vale and the two Half-Immortals.
She was slightly injured and exhausted since, even with the smokescreen made by Runecasters, the two Half-Immortals were still able to send several Spells targeted to the weaker Agents.
She had no choice but to make her move and protect them as their leader. As a matter of fact, their attacks were also aimed at the Storm Knights, who were thinking of saving the Pontiff.
'Dealing with those two Half-Immortals is too much… Our squad can't handle this! Tsk… Those analysts from the Headquarters must be fired! They can't even assess the difficulty of this mission.' Agent Fox thought she looked at Vale with a mix of fear and anger.
"You... You monster... How could you do this? How could you enslave two Half-Immortals and use them against us?"
Vale squinted his eyes after hearing this. These rhetorical questions were useless at this point.
He wanted to just end this farce as he wanted to ask many questions to the two Half-Immortal. He couldn't even be bothered if these agents managed to escape.
However, as he was about to reply, he felt the space warp and fold!
A Space-Attributed spell was being activated!
It didn't take long before a rip in the space near the Pontiff and the Sage appeared!
Vale squinted his eyes as he readied his Spells. He wasn't sure if the Arcanists who could manipulate space were a friend or foe, so he had to be careful.
Soon, a figure stepped out of the ripped space!
Agent Fox instantly recognized the figure!
"Director Virgo!"
He was a tall and muscular man with silver hair and blue eyes. He wore a white suit and a blue tie, and he had a badge with the symbol of the Arcane Bureau on his chest.
He was the Director of the Arcane Bureau and he had arrived here as soon as he lost contact with Agent Fox's side! He was worried that one of his best agents was killed in action!
As soon as he stepped out, he confirmed that his agents were still alive and heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, he looked at the two Half-Immortals before shifting his gaze to Vale and the castle behind him.
"So we're dealing with a True Immortal... All of you can retreat. I will have a talk with him as a fellow Immortal." Director Virgo said.
"I don't think I've given them the permission to do so..." Vale interjected as he summoned a Divine Lightning empowered by Divinity to attack the Director.
He couldn't gauge the man's strength with his Divine Sense, so he greeted him with this Celestial Art to get a clue.
Boom!
The Divine Lightning struck down and forced the two Half-
Immortals to retreat. It was so powerful that it made the Storm Knights stunned.
They could also summon a bolt of lightning… It was a Fusion Spell of three Tier 2 Spells of Elemental Arts.
However, none of them could summon a lightning that could reach this level! Not even their Pontiff!
Whoosh~
Nevertheless, as the dust cleared, Director Virgo was still standing, unscathed by the attack!
The Director didn't look angry at the surprise attack launched by Vale and muttered.
"That's a nice move... It's probably one of those Celestial Arts that can only be recorded with a special method. Is that your way of greeting me?"
Vale smiled after hearing this and tried to test the Director with another Celestial Art, Shadow Mutilation...
However, just like his Divine Lightning, it didn't work on the Director either!
"Oh…" Vale grinned after seeing the Director's reaction. Although it wasn't successful, this time, the Director looked annoyed as he sensed the invisible spell that was thrown at him.
Director Virgo then looked at the Vale one more time before he gently nodded as if he just realized something.
"Mhmm... I get it now... You're an Immortal who ascended through a different way and not with the help of an Immortal Spirit." His voice sounded surprised, and he was also relieved.
'You can tell that much?' Vale eyes twitched after hearing this.
This made Vale realize that this person was on a different level.
Finally, Vale had met a True Immortal!
'I guess I need this person as well… No, I think that the whole Arcane Bureau would be a great help…' Vale thought as he ordered his two Half-Immortals to guard the Agents of the Bureau and not let them escape if they ever attempted to do so.
"So you're not planning to let them escape?" Director Virgo frowned after seeing the Pontiff and the Sage move.
"Yes… They entered my territory without my permission. They can't expect to leave this place without paying the price." Vale replied.
This answer made Director Virgo a bit helpless.
"What do you want in exchange? If you want to ascend to the Immortal Realm… I can help you with it. Although Sage Merlin could also do so, it is dangerous for you, and you might lose all your Spell Models in the process."
He then paused for a moment to see Vale's reaction before he continued…
"Our Bureau has a different method. As a matter of fact, I want to invite you to be part of the Council. We will turn a blind eye to the situation of those two Half-Immortals if you agree to be part of the Bureau. How about it?"
