In the face of such intense overwhelming pressure, Ery could hear his entire body, his bones, starting to crack. Instinctively, he activated his transformation ability, turning into his Twilight Wolf form.
The frown on his face lessened as he could feel the burden he was under beca lighter. Even so, withstanding the pressure was still an agonizing sensation.
Howwlll!!
Since his [Twilight Transformation] bestowed magic resistance, Ery was able to withstand so of the brunt of the dark elf grand magus' spirit attacks. However, as soon as the other party saw him transform, the attack stopped.
"Oh.. it's not an insect…but a dog instead.. Still…" The dark elf grand magus made a little gesture ordering his n, "We should just kill the dog and the master shall co."
Seeing one of the dark elf magus draw his weapon at those words, Ery realized that he had to resort to sothing more effective in order to get what he wanted.
Fortunately, he had prepared for such a possibility before coming to this exchange.
Ery quickly raised his arm into the air, revealing the tal emblem that nestled within his palm, and said, "If you co any closer, I will crush this emblem. Your princess shall co along with in death."
His abrupt action put a halt to the magus' actions, and at the sa ti, his mind was bombarded with harsh curse words by an exasperated female dark elf.
said Lyanna Darkmoon in panic.
anwhile, the dark elf grand magus was silent, an inexplicable glint flashed across his eyes. It was apparent that the elderly elf was one that was calculative, and thus he quickly realized that Ery was not just a re ssenger.
After several seconds of tense silence ensued between them, it was broken by the dark elf grand magus' voice.
"How can I know for sure if the princess is indeed in that emblem?"
Ery didn't even need to think to answer such a question, as Lyanna imdiately told him what the elder needed to hear after she realized the situation. With the answer given for him, he only needed to repeat the exact sa words she said.
"Your princess told to ask, why is it that you, Agar, her uncle's right hand man, here, not her father's."
The elderly elf showed a glint of a smile hearing this and said, "Yes, The Darkmoon clan patriarch is currently occupied with the war, so he gave the task to my master, to bring you back ho instead."
The words given by Lyanna appear to convince the elderly dark elf. On the other hand, Ery beca more hopeful when he heard their answer. If the Darkmoon Clan was indeed involved deep in the war, then there was a high chance that they would have the information he needed.
After hearing Ery's words, the dark elf grand magus seed to think for a mont. Then, with a little smile on his face, he said, "Alright then, let hear what kind of information you want."
Ery steadied himself before saying, "I want to know what happened to the Magus Academy's acolytes. Where are they now?"
Unexpectedly, the elderly elf broke into a chuckle when he heard the question. Instead of answering, he instead asked a question of his own. "Even if I did tell you, how would you know whether I am lying or not?"
As he had expected such a question, Ery quickly replied in a calm tone. "That is simple; after I confirm that the information is true, then I will find you again to hand over your princess' spirit soul."
The dark elf grand magus exploded into laughter at those words.
"Hahaha, what a naive little pup! What guarantees that you will keep your word after receiving the information?" He asked in a mocking tone. "No matter how I see it, this is not a good deal for us."
Unfazed by the mockery, Ery calmly said, "Even with your princess' life on the line?"
"Stupid fool! On the contrary, giving you the information will only endanger the princess even more."
At those words, Ery heaved a sigh. He then stopped channeling his spirit energy into the emblem as Lyanna wouldn't stop screaming in his mind, asking what exactly he was doing.
This was as far as the plan he had prepared with Grand Magus Fuxi and Julian, and just as he had feared, the dark elves had decided to not play along. The next step of the plan was to give so ti for the other side to send a ssage to Lyanna's father, as he should be the one who has the authority in this matter.
Such an alternative might work, but unfortunately Ery did not have the luxury of ti. Hence the reason he went for a more drastic plan.
Ery took a deep breath and decided to offer his own plan.
"Then here is what I am proposing… You will take to where the acolytes are being held, and I will let you have your princess back the mont I confirm the acolyte location."
The proposal that Ery offered was certainly a surprise to the dark elf as the expression on his face showed. After all, it was basically an ultimate suicide plan on Ery's part.
With him being brought into the dark elf's territory, there were hundreds of ways for them to take the emblem from him, either by trick or force.
Simply put, this deal was sothing the elves have no reason to refuse, and one Ery was willing to do. He was willing to go to such lengths, taking such a risk in order to obtain the information. As for the ans to escape, he had to rely on his spatial ability or luck.
"You really are a fool!" the grand magus bellowed along with a laugh.
Again, Ery was unfazed by the mocking words; he was certain that the elf would not reject his offer and was ready to follow them.
But then, he saw one dark elf magus appear out of the woods, approaching the elder, reporting sothing.
He could see the dark elf grand magus making a startled expression on his face after the magus finished reporting. The elderly man then stared at him and said, "You really did co alone, huh… A re acolyte had co by himself trying to make a high-secret deal."
Ery could see the other party staring at him in wonder.
"You have succeeded in confusing , kid." He said in amusent. "Either that you are extrely stupid, or that you are just too brave for your own good."
The developnt of the situation suddenly made Ery anxious. Ery suddenly had this thought that the dark elf grand magus only entertained him with small talk while his n scoured and secured the surrounding area.
But then, why? What was the reason?
Suppressing those thoughts, Ery said to the elderly elf, "So, do we have a deal?"
The other party only smiled as he said, "No, we do not."
He said those words while giving a gesture for his underling to take action. Seeing that, Ery quickly raised the emblem again, channeling his spirit energy while putting on so strength, ready to break it any mont as he shouted, "Do you think that I do not dare to destroy this?!"
The next words that left his mouth shocked Ery.
With a smile, the dark elf grand magus said, "I think you ca here ready to die, Unfortunately, we are not here to save the princess. We are here to make sure the princess dies"
"Kill him, and destroy that emblem!"
