章 248: The Final Area

Seven ice blocks faced Konrad. Each stood at more than one hundred meters, and within them, barely discernible figures hung. And while the ice prevented any detailed analysis of those figures, it didn't take a genius to figure out that whoever was sealed on the ninth floor possessed extraordinary origins.

But before Selene could see through it, another figure appeared above the blocks. Again, it was a replica of Marduk. But this time, one of flesh of blood, or so it seemed.

The new Marduk sat crossed-legged on top of the middle block with his eyes locked on Konrad, and an early-stage Rising Saint cultivation base emanating from his form.

"To have managed to reach this step in spite of all the obstacles put in your road, I must say that I'm impressed. However, this is as far as you can go. No one, especially not Talroth's blood, is allowed to release the things sealed on this floor.

Return from whence you came."
