"What's going on?!" Jin couldn't help but feel frustrated after being attacked.
"It might be a defensive formation art!" Giorgi suggested.
As?Jin?and?Giorgi?attempted to steel their minds against the overwhelming ntal assault of the powerful Dragons, their resolve faltered in the face of the absolute pressure they were facing!
"Not good…"
Despite their efforts to dismiss the dragon apparitions as re illusions born from the Formation Arts of the Castle,?the intensity of the ntal pressure bore down upon them with a crushing weight! It threatened to overwhelm their very consciousness.
"We have to focus!"
"Yes! It's just an illusion, a trick of the mind!"?Jin?insisted, his voice strained as he struggled to maintain a semblance of composure amidst the chaos unfolding within their thoughts.
Giorgi?nodded grimly, his expression tense with concentration.
"If Chrono Veil doesn't work... Use Ti Dilation! They cannot be real... We must break free from this ntal prison!"
***
In the anti, within the ethereal chamber where?Orden?and?Ryzoir?were resting, the ancient Dragons shared a knowing look before unleashing a surge of Draconic power that reverberated through the minds of?Jin?and?Giorgi, intensifying the ntal pressure with a new level of force that threatened to shatter their will.
"Ti Manipulators… It's been a while since I've seen one." Orden comnted as he saw the two unknown n enter Kyle's Castle.
"Mhmm… They're also quite young. Are they here to take his Immortality?" Ryzoir mumbled.
Ti Manipulators were known for hunting Celestials or anyone with Divinity in order to obtain their Immortality. After all, Ti Manipulators use a bit of their Soul Force whenever they use strong Ti Spells. Because of that, taking Immortality was sothing they needed in order to survive.
However, the Dragons also knew that the Ti Manipulators should've laid low for now. They should no longer be using Ti Spells that could claim a part of their Soul Force. They should've prohibited such spells already.
The main reason for this was the destruction of the Celestial Realm itself…
Nonetheless, the two of them weren't inclined to know the situation of these two Ti Manipulators.
"Should we just kill these intruders?" Orden asked.
"We should at least know their purpose for coming here since Kyle will surely ask." Ryzoir replied.
Soon, they poised their questions to the minds of the two Ti Manipulators but they seed to be unable to realize that they were real dragons and not illusions trying to scare them!
The Dragon's didn't feel upset about this, and they even found their reactions quite amusing.
As the Dragons' laughter echoed through the chamber, the two Ti Manipulators were still struggling to escape from their Draconic Pressure.
However, in a mont of desperation,?Jin?and?Giorgi?decided to use their Soul Force in order to escape!
They tapped into the depths of their own?Ti Magic?abilities, channeling their innate powers to push back against the overwhelming influence of?Orden?and?Ryzoir!
Drawing upon their mastery of Ti Spells,?they cast a Layered Chrono Veil!
Jin?and?Giorgi?unleashed a surge of temporal energy that rippled through the ntal landscape, creating a barrier of distorted ti that shielded them from the Dragons' ntal assaults!
"They're gone!"
With a renewed sense of freedom, the two Ti Manipulators focused their energies on finding the Golden Key within the castle!
"We're free! Quick! Find the Gold Key!"
"I'm on it!"
After breaking free from the oppressive ntal grip of?Orden?and?Ryzoir,?Jin?and?Giorgi?wasted no ti in scouring every nook and cranny of?Kyle's castle?in search of the elusive Golden Key.
Their minds racing with a sense of urgency, fueled by the knowledge that ti was of the essence!
The two?Ti Manipulators?unleashed a flurry of?Ti Spells?that allowed them to traverse the castle with unprecedented speed!
Even if there were androids or various guards in the castle, they were unable to catch a glimpse of these two!
They also didn't bother attacking other residents of this castle as they could not waste their ti doing that!
They had to hurry before the Shadow Immortal returns!
'Just hold on there, Demon Lord!' Jin thought to himself, hoping that the Demon Lord would do a decent job.'
As they moved with haste, leaving no stone unturned in their quest,?Jin?and?Giorgi?thodically combed through the various living quarters and chambers, their keen eyes scanning for any sign of the coveted artifact.
They actually found several important artifacts and even potions that caught their interest.
However, they decided to ignore all of that. They simply marked the location of these things and considered taking those with them if they managed to find the Gold Key.
They rifled through belongings, overturned furniture, and probed every hidden alcove, yet the Golden Key remained tantalizingly out of reach, as if mocking their efforts.
***
"What are they trying to find?" Ryzoir comnted as he watched the two go through every room of the castle.
These two Dragons had actually decided to watch them instead to find out what they were looking for! Anyway, they decided to do this since they were confident that the two didn't have any Ti Spell that could break through the barrier they had created.
"It must be Celestial Item… However, did they not think that Kyle was carrying it?" Orden replied.
"Then, it must be a Cursed Artifact. There was no way Kyle would carry it…" Ryzoir added.
Orden could only nod for now as he also had no idea what they were searching for.
***
"Not good… We don't have enough ti… The Demon Lord's Corrupted Divinity is weakening. He's going to be killed at any mont now." Jin said.
"Should we help the Demon Lord and eliminate the Shadow Immortal?" Giorgi suggested.
However, Jin shook his head at this.
"Even if we help the Demon Lord, we have a very low chance of winning with those three Legendary Relics being equipped by a single person. Just the Temporal Tipiece in his possession would already make it difficult for us."
"Right… Let's continue the search then."
After completing their search in various rooms of the castle, the two were still undeterred by the setback and continued with their search.
The two of them glanced in the direction that they hadn't searched yet.
It was the path leading to the basent of the castle.
"Let's do this…"
JinandGiorgiresolved to delve deeper into the heart ofKyle's castle…
As they got closer, they realized that the mysterious basent was shrouded in layers of enchantnts and protective wards.
However, these types of enchantnts were nothing in their eyes, that could manipulate ti. After freezing the area of the Formation Nodes, they stopped powering the barriers or enchantnts, allowing them to bypass the defenses freely.
With a shared sense of anticipation, theTi Manipulatorsbreached the threshold of the basent, expecting to uncover hidden secrets and untold treasures within its confines.
"This…"
However, as they stepped into the dimly lit chamber, a sense of déjà vu washed over them, sending a chill down their spines.
"We've made a mistake…" Jin muttered.
To their astonishnt, the chamber unfolded before them in a surreal mirroring of the ntal landscape where they had faced the imposing specters ofOrdenandRyzoir!
The twoDragons, once ethereal manifestations in their minds, now materialized beforeJinandGiorgiin all their majestic glory, their majestic forms exuded an aura of ancient power and wisdom!
"So they're real… We're in a huge trouble." Giorgi muttered as he knew very well that these dragons had the advantage over them!
As the realization dawned upon them that they stood within the very sanctuary of theDragonsthemselves,JinandGiorgiexchanged a silent glance, their hearts pounding with nervousness.
"Welco…" The Red Dragon spoke, and this ti, it wasn't through their minds. It was a voice that echoed throughout the whole chamber!
The other Dragon seed to smirk at them as the chamber suddenly humd with draconic energy!
Caught between fear and fascination,JinandGiorgibraced themselves for battle!
However, the two Dragons simply laughed, seeing them get ready to fight.
Orden simply blinked and unleashed the full extent of his draconic power within the chamber!
JinandGiorgifound themselves ensnared within the ethereal confines of the Dragon's Domain—a realm where ti itself seed to bend and twist under the weight of the creature's imnse presence.
Their Ti Spells were useless in this Domain!
They were completely caught!
"We surrender…" Jin imdiately said as he realized that there was no escaping from these Dragons. It was just too much for them.
"Now, that's a good start." Ryzoir said.
The oppressive aura coming from himbore down upon the Ti Manipulators.
"Tell us why you're here… We've been watching you search the whole castle. What are you looking for? We're curious."
Jin and Giorgi glanced at each other and sighed. They could only reveal the true purpose behind their daring intrusion into Kyle's castle if they wanted to survive.
