Chapter 1728: Infiltrate

Emery had never intended to sacrifice Atlas. As part of the preparation for their daring escape, he had meticulously followed Master Borin's procedure. He copied all of Atlas's memories into a specially-prepared device, then proceeded with the delicate process of transferring Atlas's spirit soul.

To further deceive the enemy, Emery inserted random dark elf souls into what was left of Atlas's body to throw the enemy off their scent and order it to operate the ship and leave.

Once this subterfuge was in place, Emery placed the device containing Atlas's memory and soul into his storage ring. With Atlas's imprinted soul well hidden, Emery could now set his attention to the next phase of his plan.
