Chapter 264: The True Mastermind

'Asgela referred to that figure as his master earlier¹.'

'His master is a Stage 5 powerhouse!?'

Upon this thought, the sliver of hope that had manifested in Locke's heart was immediately extinguished.

He was already no match against a Stage 4 Beastmaster. Had Asgela not messed up, Locked doubted that he had a chance of winning in the first place.

However, with the appearance of the Stage 5 Beastmaster, Locke was certain that his fate was sealed.

"Sigh..."

Locke sighed heavily.

Since he could not escape death, he might as well face it calmly.

"Master, I am in so much pain.. Please save me..."

At this moment, Asgela, who was far away, pleaded to the figure.

The figure above was extremely illusory, it was more accurate to call it a phantom.
