Bas.e.m.e.nt

There was a basin-sized hole in the Ethereal prince's chest . His body was almost split into two . With this kind of injury, he still wasn't dead and was even still conscious .

This was because the body didn't belong to him . He was just possessing it . As long as the head wasn't damaged, he could still escape .

Different from regular Ethereals, Prince Harmod's soul was abnormally strong . Seeing that he was in a hopeless state, his eyes shone with silver light, and he roared . "Ah!"

Ping! With a crisp sound, his bracelet shattered into a burst of light . The white light flowed into Haromed's head . After that, the air around him blurred . A beam buried into it and his eyes dimmed . His body collapsed onto the ground with a thud, losing all presence of strength .

This time, Haromed had risked everything to escape . The entire process happened in the blink of the eye . The four couldn't even process it .

Link could have stopped Haromed, but he'd just retreated from the state of extreme spellcasting . His mind hadn't recovered fully and was still delayed . By the time he recovered, Haromed had already disappeared .

Link shook his still-hurting pain and jumped into the magic seal . He cast a spatial detection spell .

White light appeared and spun around in the air . After around three seconds, fine ripples emerged in the light . They formed a tunnel the size of an arm and forcefully broke through Evelina's spatial imprisonment, extending outward .

No, Haromed shouldn't be able to break free . However, the World Impaler had put an opening to the spatial imprisonment . Haromed used it to flee .

Other than the spatial tunnel, Link also clearly smelled a faint aura in the air . It was like incense from earth . It was very faint, but after smelling it, he felt a bit dizzy . His emotions became affected too .

Link was very familiar with this smell . It appeared when a soul shattered . In other words, this was a soul's "blood . "

"Haromed broke free from the restraints, but he's hurt," Link said immediately . "He can't be far . Let's go . "

Using the traces shown by the spatial detection, Link rushed out of the yard . The other three ran out of their hiding places, following Link closely .

Link raised a hand while on the road . The light of a detection spell wrapped around his finger . He tested for abnormal waves on the path and pursued Haromed .

Soon, the four left Glen Heights and entered the dense jungle to the west .

Many of the trees here towered in the air . Their rich treetops practically blocked all source of light . Even though it was daytime, the jungle was dark . Plants that liked the shade, such as bushes and vines, took up almost all the s.p.a.ce under the trees .

After entering here, they slowed down drastically, especially Link . His body had mostly recovered, thanks to the Dragon Power, but he was still very careful .

"Stay close and don't get separated," he murmured . "I can feel that Ariel hasn't left . She's still looking for a chance . "

He still felt uneasy, like someone had their eyes on him . Not many in Firuman could give Link such pressure . At the moment, Ariel was the only one .

Just like them, Ariel hadn't given up yet . She was still trying .

This High Elf genius was truly hard to get rid of .

Evelina was a bit nervous . "Link, you have to be careful," she warned quietly . "She has never failed in her entire life, and she even brought a World Impaler this time . She's too scary . "

Celine wasn't happy at this . Eyeing Evelina, she said, "I think you're just scared . She fought with Link and got hurt . "

Eveline shook her head . "That was a tie, at most . Link isn't well off now either . "

She had seen more clearly than Celine and wasn't that familiar with Link . She didn't have the absolute trust that Celine had .

Eliard was worried too . He turned to Link and arched an eyebrow while gesturing with his hands . How confident are you?

Link replied, gesturing, At most, we fail at catching Haromed .

This comforted Eliard . Chuckling, he asked, "What is there to be scared of? If that Ariel really is so powerful, why doesn't she just come out and fight? I think she's scared of us, heh . "

Link thought a bit and said, "Let's go . In a battle, the end is decided in an instant . Stop thinking nonsense . "

So the group stopped talking and continued following Link into the forest . They walked like this for more than one hour . They traveled around five miles and reached deep into the forest .

Here, Link's eyebrow twitched . "The spatial mark is gone . "

With that, he squatted to check carefully . The ground was covered in rotting branches and leaves . Occasionally, some insects would crawl over . It all looked normal .

After a few minutes, Link found a fist-sized claw mark on the roots of a tree .

Evelina walked over to look . "This is the paw print of a Blue Mongoose, but it looks weird . The Blue Mongoose is supposed to be very agile . Judging from the footprint, it's matured, so why did it leave such an unsteady paw print?"

"Maybe because it isn't familiar with the body," Eliard said .

Link nodded and said, "The Ethereal must have possessed this Blue Mongoose . It'll be easier to find . "

At the side, Evelina cast a beast tracking spell . A red-green spotlight rushed out of her wand . It circled the paw print and then flew away . The group followed it .

After a dozen miles, the tracking light suddenly stopped in place . It circled the spot and then disappeared .

Evelina was shocked . "His aura disappeared completely . "

The injured soul of an Ethereal used his own power to forcefully possess a mongoose in the dense forest . All signs on the road pointed to the fact that he couldn't control the mongoose perfectly, leaving behind many traces to follow . But now, it seemed to have evaporated .

There was only one conclusion .

"Someone powerful intercepted," Eliard said . "Maybe it's Ariel?"

Celine was already holding her guns . "For some reason, I feel like it'll become very dangerous if we keep pursuing… Link, what do we do?"

Link didn't reply . He circled the place where the mongoose had disappeared, searching closely while casting different detection spells . Three minutes later, he found a tiny mark in the vines that extended from a tree .

Someone had made it with one's hand . Judging from the size, it was a woman . Link looked at Evelina . "How is Ariel at martial combat?"

In the game, Ariel didn't display any of those skills, so Link overlooked it . But after fighting her across s.p.a.ce, he realized that she wasn't so simple .

Evelina shook her head . "I'm not sure, but one year ago, I think she purposely went to learn from a wandering vigilante called Green Leaf Swordsman . He's apparently amazing at swordsmans.h.i.+p . Later, I saw her practice a few times . She seems good . "

Eliard found this strange . "A Magician practicing swordsmans.h.i.+p? That's weird . I heard that Elven Natural magic isn't suitable for martial arts . "

Here, Eliard got an idea . His Sunlight Power was very suitable for martial arts . In combat, it was sometimes more useful than spells . It seemed that he should find some time to learn swordsmans.h.i.+p .

Evelina nodded . "Indeed, which is why I'm confused why she did that . However, Natural magic has a great advantage in controlling plants . There aren't many clues here . It's highly possible that Ariel did this . "

Link didn't think so . If a Magician really wanted to learn martial arts, there were so many tricks they could use . To a Magician, there were only things that they couldn't imagine . Nothing was impossible .

He already saw Ariel as a martial arts expert now and would treat her accordingly .

Thinking of this, he said, "Let's go . She still left some signs . She used this vine to swing over and dropped onto a branch 60 feet away… Look, there's her footprint . Then she used another vine to leave . That's why there aren't any marks on the ground . As for the mongoose, she must've taken it . "

The four of them were the top representatives of Ferde . It would be embarra.s.sing if their plan was ruined by one person . Ariel didn't know how to give up, but Link was like this too .

Only those with this personality could keep moving forward on the tumultuous path of power and make shocking achievements .

Celine and Eliard didn't have any objections . Evelina couldn't do anything either . She didn't dare leave the forest alone, so she had to go with the flow .

The four continued pursuing . After around half an hour, a cliff appeared before them with plumes of white smoke under it . It was a few hundred feet high .

An ordinary female High Elf stood at the edge quietly . Her features didn't stand out, but her aura was indescribable, especially her dark purple eyes . When she looked at them, everyone—including Link—felt ineffable pressure .

Right now, she had a Blue Mongoose the size of a cat in her arms .

She saw Link from afar and turned around, smiling thinly . "I knew you'd come . This cat is nice, but his life is in my hands . I can destroy him at any time . "

Link raised a hand, stopping the group . He stopped at a distance too . "What are your terms?"

"You and I have a battle at this cliff . No one else can help . The winner can take this cat . As for the loser, whether they can live is up to their skills . What do you think?" Ariel's words were shocking .
