Yulia may have been worried about the 10 unusual Celestials brought by the Paragons but she trusts Rem and the others to deal with them.
After all, she had brought 12 Celestials Beings and four of them are Numbered. They are Numbers 442, 778, 815, and 833.
Furthermore, their aerial support is about to make its move and it will surely change the balance of this war.
Whoosh~
Yulia moves unimpeded as she reached the Mage Tower in a few seconds. Her aura was restrained and no one had noticed her at all after leaving the observation tower.
She glanced at the nearby areas that the shadow had gone through a while ago and confirmed that there are no abnormalities in them…
As soon as he arrived in front of the Tower, she was greeted by a couple of guards who are maintaining the security of the vicinity.
They were aware of her identity as one of the top echelons in Vera City.
After giving them a gentle nod, she entered the Tower and found the traces of the shadow…
'It's heading towards the underground prison?' She realized the path that the shadow has taken.
Luckily, she knows an elemental movement technique and her boots are also providing her additional agility…
Thump. Thump. Thump.
Yulia arrived in front of a metal door leading to the prison.
'The shadow is looking for prisoners? If that's the case, it's likely that my guess is right…' Yulia thought as she took a deep breath.
She didn't open the door immediately as she closed her eyes for a brief moment… She was gathering her Mana and spreading the mystical awareness brought by her eyes.
As soon as she confirmed the shadow's position, she no longer hesitated.
She opened her eyes and spoke with a calm voice.
"Seal…"
Dark energy suddenly started spreading throughout the whole prison.
This prison only has about 20 people so the shadow would soon finish searching for someone…
Whom~
As soon as her Darkness Mystic Eye activated, the Shadow quivered for a moment before immediately trying to the ventilation to escape…
Thud!
The shadow bumped into the dark energy created by Yulia's Mystic Eye…
Thud! Thud! Thud!
It tried to forcefully create a hole but it failed repeatedly… The shadow seem to have realized that it met its nemesis and soon, it heard the metal door opening…
A woman with enchanting black eyes appeared and looked at the living shadow…
Though the living shadow seems perfectly hidden in the darkness, it was different for Yulia.
"You're going to stay here… Control."
This is the first tier of the Darkness Mystic Eye.
The living shadow suddenly stiffened as it felt the controlling ability coming from Yulia's eyes…
Suddenly, the shadow started growing larger before getting closer to the nearest prisoner. It was an old man who had passed out after being starved.
To Yulia's surprise, the shadow escaped her 'Control'!
Then, the weakened old prisoner suddenly started moving and held the metal railings in his jail.
It didn't take long before she realized what happened.
The living had actually possessed someone else's body! She didn't think that it is the old man's original shadow since the living shadow tried fleeing a while ago.
It means that it only possessed the old man since it had no other choice.
Bam!
The railings were forcefully bent and the old man swiftly dashed towards Yulia. His speed and strength don't match the frail body of the old man at all.
Furthermore, he wasn't emitting a strong or intimidating fluctuation of mana.
Yulia didn't panic as she even felt better since the shadow finally had a body… It would be much easier to control and she wouldn't have to stress her Mystic Eye locating the living shadow in the darkness.
At this time, she held the pendant of her necklace with her right hand and triggered the magic ability imbued in it!
"Radiance!" Yulia shouted as she closed her eyes.
She used the Legendary Item that Vincent had given to her before he left!
Just like what Vincent promised after the incident several weeks ago when a few Celestials died, he had provided those people who were close to him with Legendary Items.
Though he wasn't able to provide for everyone because of time constraints, Yulia was still able to enjoy the VIP treatment and become one of those who had received the item.
The necklace she had obtained has been Transcended successfully and obtained three skills. One of them is called Radiance.
Once triggered, the targeted enemy will experience a burning sensation like they have been burned by a Mana Cannon.
The old man and the living shadow failed to react in time and wailed loudly… It had certainly attracted the attention of other people.
Nevertheless, Yulia wasn't over yet.
She released the Seal that had covered the entire prison and while the possessed old man was stunned by the Radiance, she immediately cast the Seal to the person in front of her!
Seal!
This is the fourth-tier ability of the Darkness Eyes!
Control, Nightmare, Delude, and Seal!
Instead of sealing the whole prison, she decided to recast it to the possessed prisoner.
Everything happened so quickly… As soon as the reinforcements arrived, the battle was already over.
Pah…
Yulia uncapped a bottle of Mana Recovery Potion and drank it immediately… The use of Seal and the Legendary Necklace made her spend so much mana.
She didn't expect that she would use this much just to seal the living shadow…
'As expected, the shadow seems to be looking for Ariana… They thought that she was here and imprisoned in Nidite City.'
Yulia sighed inwardly after realizing the purpose of the shadow for coming here. It appears that her Darkness Eyes and the living shadow had some sort of connection so she was able to vaguely 'communicate' with it and get information about its mission.
At this time, she was troubled about whether they should continue using Ariana or eliminate her directly and leave no traces of her behind…
In the end, she can only sigh as she thought of contacting Vincent about this.
