[Inner Awareness of Heaven’s Decree] was a very powerful skill.

Once Shien entered a hidden, concealed, or ambush state, it not only concealed his scent, breathing, footsteps, and presence, but also weakened his presence to a certain extent, even affecting the surrounding environnt and individuals. Among all concealnt skills, this skill was undoubtedly the strongest.

With this skill, even if soone stood right in front of Shien, they wouldn’t be able to detect his presence.

With such a broken skill, one could imagine how terrifying it would be if Shien suddenly launched an attack and assassinated soone at close range.

Relying on this Heaven’s Decree skill, Shien was confident that unless he actively revealed himself, the chance of anyone here discovering him wouldn’t exceed one in ten thousand.

However, if this necromancer used a thod of detecting life force, then Shien wasn’t so sure.

After all, [Inner Awareness of Heaven’s Decree] didn’t have the effect of concealing one’s life force.

That was an aura “emitted by all living beings.” Anima, the Goddess of Life, had eyes that could see this life force, which was why Elise, the Fox Clan Saintess, could track Shien and discover his whereabouts even from tens of thousands of miles away by borrowing the Goddess of Life’s power.

If this necromancer could use magic to detect life force and discover the presence of living beings in the surrounding area, then Shien might be exposed.

Thinking of this, Shien’s eyes turned cold, and he reached out and grasped the Holy Sword at his waist.

If the other party really discovered him, Shien wouldn’t hesitate to beco an assassin, suddenly attacking and killing them before they could react.

The other party was a necromancer, a taboo and unclean existence. Moreover, staying in this place, they must have a deep connection with Mara. Shien didn’t need to have any reservations about killing them.

Coincidentally, his [Inner Awareness of Heaven’s Decree] also had the effect of increasing assassination success rate.

When in a hidden, concealed, or ambush state, his attack power would be greatly increased.

When in a hidden, concealed, or ambush state, the accuracy of his attacks would also be greatly increased.

With these two effects, even if the opponent was a Legendary-level necromancer, Shien was confident in killing them with one strike.

Shien was ready.

He completely overlooked the last effect of [Inner Awareness of Heaven’s Decree] – when in a hidden, concealed, or ambush state, automatically evade magic-based detection.

In other words, detection, investigation, and reconnaissance magic was ineffective against Shien when he was in a concealed state.

“Clang!”

The High Priest’s skeletal hand pressed on the crystal ball, making it emit a ghastly green light.

Within the light, scenes appeared on the crystal ball, reflecting the life force of living beings in the surrounding area.

Instantly, places with living beings appeared on the crystal ball one after another, like a playing video, flashing scene after scene.

There were scenes of slaves and servants working.

There were scenes of knights from various countries patrolling.

There were scenes of people moving around in the mine shafts.

There were also scenes of places like basents, prisons, torture chambers, and interrogation rooms, showing all the places where living beings existed.

Including this stone room, which also appeared on the crystal ball.

However, there was only Limgir’s life force reaction on it, no reaction from the High Priest, nor from Shien.

Seeing this, Shien couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The High Priest, on the other hand, seed to frown, her skeletal hands waving as she repeatedly looked at the images on the crystal ball, as if carefully examining them.

Limgir didn’t dare to disturb her, standing there nervously, not even daring to breathe loudly.

After a while, the High Priest confird everything and fell silent.

“…It seems that there was probably so malfunction with the [Corridor of Death] earlier.”

The High Priest admitted this reluctantly.

She wasn’t very willing to admit it.

But since she couldn’t find anything unusual, this necromancer could only accept it for now.

However…

“Better safe than sorry. Order the security level to be raised, and have the knights check the workers and servants to see if any strangers have appeared.” The High Priest said cautiously, “The Imperial Consort’s plan is nearing its final stage. We cannot allow any mistakes at this ti, understand?”

“Yes.” Limgir quickly agreed, but he didn’t imdiately retreat. Instead, he carefully looked at the High Priest, his eyes filled with fear, but also a hint of expectation and desire.

Glancing at Limgir, the High Priest waved her hand discreetly, and a ghastly green light appeared on the crystal ball in front of her.

The light swirled on the crystal ball, then suddenly shot out and ca to Limgir.

Limgir was overjoyed and quickly reached out, grabbing the light and stuffing it into his mouth.

Yes.

Limgir swallowed that ghastly green light.

After swallowing it, Limgir’s face took on an unhealthy green hue, and the aura around him beca even colder.

However, at the sa ti, Limgir’s aura also surged slightly.

“This…”

Shien was slightly startled, then rembered sothing, using the prying ability of [Outer Awareness of Heaven’s Decree] to check Limgir’s current level.

Upon seeing it, Shien was surprised.

“Level eighty-four?”

Limgir’s level had actually increased to above eighty?

“That’s not right.”

He rembered that when he saw Limgir in Cosmos, his level was only a little over seventy, still quite far from eighty.

Now, in just about two months, his level had already increased to above eighty?

There was definitely sothing wrong!

And the problem lay with this necromancer, or rather, with the ghastly green light that Limgir swallowed.

“Go on.” The High Priest said to Limgir, “As long as you serve us loyally, I won’t hesitate to give you more [Soul Essence] as a supplent to enhance your power.”

The High Priest’s voice was filled with temptation.

“Do you rember the wish you told us before?”

Hearing this, Limgir’s eyes turned cold, and his expression beca sowhat ferocious.

After being brought here, Limgir had indeed expressed his wish.

“I want to defeat Shien Buztout and obtain Roselucia Mitra.”

This was Limgir’s obsession, or perhaps, madness.

Unfortunately…

“With your strength, you’re no match for that person.” The High Priest said rcilessly, “He can single-handedly defeat an Old Demon Faction like the Assassination Branch and annihilate half of the Kingdom Knight Order. Even a dragon has been tad by him, and the strongest Evil God submits to him. He even has the Dragon Demon by his side. How could you, a re young master of a Duke’s family, possibly deal with him?”

Limgir’s expression beca even more ferocious.

The High Priest didn’t stop.

“You should also know that he killed your father, causing the Strimm family to fall apart, and successfully won the heart of the Kingdom’s Treasure, becoming her fiancé.” The High Priest muttered as if talking to herself, “Perhaps, soon, the princess you long for will climb into his bed and beco his plaything.”

Limgir’s breathing beca rapid, and his aura beca extrely chaotic and evil.

Faintly, Limgir’s eyes turned green.

Not erald green, but a ghastly, unsettling green.

Seeing this, the High Priest smiled.

A satisfied smile.

Looking closely, the High Priest’s gaze towards Limgir was like looking at a ticulously crafted piece of art.

“You truly have potential, much better than your useless uncle.” The High Priest chuckled sinisterly, “Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, and there’s enough [Soul Essence] for you to use, you’ll beco a Legendary-level expert in no ti.”

“At that ti, you’ll have the ability to resist Shien Buztout.”

“Work hard.”

“Keep it up.”

“I have high hopes for you.”

Hearing the High Priest’s words, Limgir raised his head, the ferocious look on his face fading.

But the ghastly green light in his eyes didn’t dim.

“Yes.” Limgir bowed respectfully, “I will definitely live up to your expectations.”

“Good.” The High Priest nodded in satisfaction, “Go on. Except for , everyone here must obey you, and you have the highest authority. Kill whoever you want, play with whichever woman you want, but don’t go to the basent. That’s the Imperial Consort’s playground. Even I can’t go down there, rember?”

“Yes.” Limgir agreed.

However, there was still a hint of regret on his face.

Because he knew that the “goods” in the basent were top-notch.

But that was the Imperial Consort’s exclusive playground, not a place he could go.

Limgir could only hide this regret in his heart and respectfully retreat.

The High Priest then put away her creepy smile, her face taking on an even colder expression than Limgir’s.

“Imperial Consort…”

“Mara…”

“Hmph…”

As if displeased by sothing, the High Priest snorted coldly, then closed her eyes.

Motionless, without a trace of life force, she looked exactly like a corpse.

Shien, who had witnessed everything, retreated from the stone room.

He didn’t attack the High Priest, nor did he attack Limgir.

Even though Limgir’s actions just now made him want to take action, Shien still held back.

There were still so places he wanted to check out, so he couldn’t alert anyone yet.

“The basent… huh?”

Shien muttered, then turned his head and looked in a direction.

There seed to be a path leading to the deeper parts of this space.
