The humans of the Azure Wind Continent have arranged their encampment on a large island on the east side of the archipelago, which was just three islands away from the central island.
At this moment, Glen was looking at the massive size communication cube in front of him with a gloomy expression while another middle-aged man, slightly overweight, was present with him, and his expression was even uglier. His name was Nathaniel, the Eighth Azure Elder!
"This is unexpected. But Master had left with the forces toward the White Crown hideout over half a month ago, and now that tried to contact him, there is some sort of hindrance blocking it." A grave husky voice sounded from the communication cube at this moment.
This voice actually belonged to the only Patriarch of the Azure Mountain Sect and also Dream Shatter's first disciple and Glen's Eldest Senior Brother, Carlos!
Glen couldn't help but slam the table to the side, shattering it into tiny shards, and cussed, "Curses! I think this is those three races' scheme to get back at the master, and now they are finally showing their true color!"
Carlos's husky voice rang again, "Second Brother, I know you are flustered because of my nephew, Lvion; I'm extremely heartbroken. But you should not say such words. Or do you doubt Master's capability?" In the end, Carlos's voice was as cold as ice!
Glen couldn't help but ground his teeth, "I… forgive my slip of the tongue. But what should we do now? We have no idea what is going on in this wretched place, and the other sects will also not sit still since their excellent genius has also been lost.
"Especially that lunatic, Nightmare Wrath will not sit still since his daughter has now gone missing as well. Once he finds out and without Master, he will surely cause trouble!"
"Heh, don't worry. Even without Master's presence, he has already arranged everything for such scenarios. Everything will be fine. Just focus on investigating this realm gate disappearance. The geniuses of our sect can't be lost for no reason. I think there might be someone behind this all!" Carlo's coldly stated.
"Don't worry. I'm not planning on leaving until I get to the root of this goddamn problem!" Glen hatefully declared. He was clearly not going to give up on his precious son.
The night quickly descends upon the world, and the archipelago also falls under darkness.
Today was a very grim day for all the races as they had suffered massive losses and even close kin while gaining nothing in return. They all now had orders from their higher-ups, and just like the humans, they were going to thoroughly investigate this place before reaching any conclusion.
However, they all have no idea that under the veil of night, two dark silhouettes suddenly start to move within the island where the humans are located. Not only did the patrols not notice them, but even their traps had been rendered useless.
The human forces were around 600 strong after including all the five sects' forces they brought here with them. They were all patrolling the island together in different shifts.
Still, each sect has made its own camps a little over five-hundred-meter distance from each other.
At this moment, the dark silhouettes silently made their way toward the five human patrol teams, and one of them had a dark book hovering in front of it. They were naturally both Freya and Noa!
"Let me handle them!" Freya transmitted her voice through the house call before she used an upper-earth-grade spell.
"Illusionary Witch Charm!" The grimoire in front of her suddenly glowed darkly before its pages started to turn.
The next moment, the five humans suddenly rooted in their place, and their eyes were now gleaming with dark mist.
"Now, they will only remember falling asleep. These small fries are not our target, and I have to use my limited evil seeds on high-reward targets." Freya stated matter-of-factly, but her voice contained a hint of provocation.
Noa eyes narrowed coldly. She never expected that Freya's spell would be this deadly, not to mention so quick. She felt a sense of danger from this woman and thought she might really lose to her.
"I'm going ahead to immobilize the target. You are too slow!" She coldly stated, and before Freya could react, Noa vanished without a trace.
Now it was Freya's turn to be shocked since Noa now completely vanished from her Evil Thief Sense, and a chill ran down her spine when she thought if Noa wanted to kill her, she would never see her coming.
Ace, who was watching the two women, couldn't help but shake his head in frustration and click his tongue, 'They didn't even stick together for a full minute! How childish!'
Nevertheless, he was not going to interfere since everything seemed to be going quite smoothly and far better than he had anticipated. At this moment, he slightly misses Cyrus. The little one was quite chatty all the time despite his frivolous words.
If it were on him, he would've taken him out, but for some mysterious reason, the little guy suddenly fell into slumber after devouring the golden feather. So, Ace has no choice but to put him back carefully, and he has been sleeping ever since.
Although he was somewhat worried when he thought about how heavy defying the little bird was, it was all thanks to him that he was able to acquire all the benefits of the Sun Secret Realm. He knew nothing would happen to him, and he might be going under some sort of change or just too tired.
Whichever the case was, Ace let the little guy sleep to his heart's content while he was going to focus on making these guys leave this place whether they liked it or not.
Noa and Freya were just the starts of his crazy scheme, and he couldn't help but chuckle evilly just by thinking of how devilish this plan was!
