"What did you say?" ,The voice came from the communication crystal, "They actually managed to run away? Do you know what that even mean? I formulated a plan. And yet you couldn't even execute the most important part. You screwed up the entire plan."
"Please don't be angry, Big Brother!" ,Peter said with both fear and caution, "I actually managed to pin them. But suddenly that bitch Theresa came out of nowhere and rescued them."
"Theresa? Why would she rescue them?" ,The voice from the communication crystal rang out.
"That is what exactly I an truly trying to figure out. But no matter how much I think, I couldn't even make a guess." ,Peter replied.
Peter then asked, "What should we do now, Big Brother? Shall I chase them down?"
"Don't do anything. We were working on the element of surprise. We wanted to attack them while they were off guard. But now that you messed up everything, they will be wary of us. Surprise attack won't work on them anymore. And we should be wary of the Eagle Sect as well. If Theresa herself came to their rescue, you should know just how much they were putting their efforts to protect them. We should first gather information and then move cautiously." ,The voice from the communication crystal rang out.
The voice from the communication crystal rang out once again, "I will think of a way. You not only messed up big time, but you let your teammates die. Since when did it became easy for anyone to kill people from the Raven Sect? If news goes out about it, we will not only become the subject of mockery. But we will be heavily punished by the headquarters."
The voice from the communication crystal rang out, "We should fix this to not anger the headquarters that much. So come to me. You will receive your mission after that."
"Yes." ,Peter felt embarrassment. This was all the fault of that bitch. When he goes back, he will take care of her. This hatred will not be taken lightly.
.....
Very far away from the forest, not far away from the Empire, there was a forest. Within the forest, there was a cave which was well hidden using the terrain of the forest by someone.
First of all, no one would come here. Even if they come, they have no chance to find this cave unless they find it by accident.
But there is one person who was looking at the cave with heart filled with emotions. This place brought back memories of the fight he had with his former friends.
This person was none other than Julian! And this cave was the place where Arjun sealed Zofra in one of his previous reincarnations.
Julian entered the cave. He was cautious. He wanted for Zofra's body to be found within the cave. If he couldn't find Zofra, then he could assume that Zofra had escaped. And this is what exactly he doesn't want to happen. So he was praying that Zofra was still present sealed within the cave.
The cave was filled with booby traps. It would absolutely kill anyone if they walked into the cave without knowing anything. But Julian is one of those rare people who knows about the traps. So he deactivated the traps one after the other. He was undoing the traps making sure that he would not be impatient and deactivate the sealing technique on Zofra if he was here.
Julian was still wondering how exactly the Trott Clan managed to get their hands on the Holy Vase. Firstly, how dud they managed to enter the forest? And how did they manage to find the cave? Even if they found the Cave, most importantly, how did they managed to enter and exit the cave?
Julian didn't have any answer. And honestly, he didn't care for now. Because his current mission is to verify that Zofra was still within the cave. Or else, things will be nasty for the world.
And very soon he entered a room. This room was very dark. But for Julian, this darkness meant nothing at all. He had seen many things. As for this cave, he had been once here in the past. So he was familiar with this place. So this darkness didn't give him much trouble at all.
Within this room, Julian had seen some heavy shackles with some kind of very advanced suppressive runes inscribed on it.
Julian knew that the one who did this was none other than his master! He was a combat master. He always chose the Gate of Darkness in order to become the Combat Master. But at the same time, somehow he could also access the Gate of Light!
That's right! Arjun always opened the Gate of Darkness and the Gate of Light! This is one of the biggest secret of his life which not many people knew. Nobody knows how he opened in both the Gate of Darkness and the Gate of Light at the same time.
And also knew about the secretary recounted less than 20 in the entire universe! If these people were stronger than Arjun, then they would personally come in order to capture and interrogate him. But they couldn't catch him at all as Arjun always escaped from their purse.
And these people were greedy people as well. Even though they could announce this news to the entire world, they don't want to do it. The less people knew about this, the better advantage they have. They wanted to catch Arjun and learn his secret. If more people knew about this secret, then they would lose this advantage. So they wanted to keep the number of people knew about the secret as low as possible.
But they couldn't catch argent no matter what they did. As per how he was able to open both the gates, nobody knows it. This always frustrated them.
Julian didn't care about it that much. Everyone had their secrets. And Arjun also had his own share of secrets. As for how he opened both gates, he didn't know. Arjun never told him. Arjun used his skills in the Runic Language and sealed Zofra here.
As Julian was thinking, he became extremely serious. Because the shackles which were inscribed with complicated runes were now empty.
These shackles actually bound a person and sealed all his powers. And that person was none other than Zofra!
But not the person who was sealed was now gone. It is a great and Julian knows where he went.
"Damn it! Masters prediction was right! Zofra did escape!" ,Julian became pale. He knew the weight behind Zofra's escape. That means, this world is in extreme danger.
"I need to report this to Master immediately!" ,Julian thought and immediately flew towards the Eagle City!
