"My life? What do you an?" Sir Ferix asked through gritted teeth.
Munez turned his body and walked toward the platform.
"You see, due to certain circumstances, I have a bad premonition that I will likely die in the near future if I do not do sothing to prevent it. Sothing that even the Valroy family will not recklessly intervene in, which is really irritating because it is them who put in this predicant," he said while also bringing Sir Ferix along.
Sir Ferix’s body floated, following Munez toward the platform.
Hearing Munez’s answer, Sir Ferix frowned. "What do you an? What kind of circumstance have you fallen into?"
"Well, it has to do with the recent event at the Ancient Blue Gate World. You will know after this." Munez then turned to look in Godard’s direction.
"Bring him here as well. This will strengthen the evidence later," he said. Godard nodded and pushed Aldrian.
"Move," he said, and Aldrian walked at a normal pace toward the platform.
Sir Ferix frowned again as he heard Munez’s answer.
’Recent event in the Ancient Blue Gate World? I see. Just like His Majesty Aldrian said, this has sothing to do with him. Munez must be anxious right now because of Aldrian the Great,’ he thought.
"Recent event at the Ancient Blue Gate World? I see. This must have sothing to do with Aldrian the Great, right? Let guess: because of the Valroy family you sohow offended Aldrian the Great in the process, and whatever you are planning to do to now is to get out of that situation?" Sir Ferix said as he looked back at Munez.
He suddenly chuckled before bursting into a boisterous laugh.
"Ahahaha. Munez, Munez, you finally reached the point where you have to use your own brother life. Your life as a dog of the Valroy family will bring your own destruction, and now you have to use your blood brother to save yourself. Well, I expect nothing less from the man who killed his own father."
Aldrian raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, while Godard was stunned. They had never heard this information before. Munez did not stop his steps as he climbed the stairs without saying a word, but Sir Ferix continued.
"You are the one who killed our father in the past. He did not suddenly pass away while choosing you as his successor," Sir Ferix said angrily. "You must be wondering how I know about this? Well, too bad for you. You never knew all of Father’s tricks before you killed him. He had already gave the news to before he died."
After a mont of silence from Munez, he finally opened his lips.
"I have already had huge suspicions, but... I see, it’s Elysia, isn’t it? She was actually Father’s underling, and she ca to you to deliver the ssage and to protect you. No wonder there was still a woman willing to beco your wife despite all of that. Now it all makes sense," he said.
"In the end, you fell in love with her and married her. What a touching story. But don’t worry, brother, your wife will also follow you later. You don’t have to feel lonely."
Sir Ferix narrowed his eyes. "What do you an—" he suddenly widened his eyes. "Are you doing sothing to my wife right now?!" he shouted.
Munez stopped and turned his head, showing a smile. "Who knows?"
That was the face he wanted to see, the face of anger and desperation. Watching his little brother like this was truly refreshing for him.
Munez continued walking, while behind him Sir Ferix gritted his teeth but then could not help sighing in relief, which from Munez’s thought looked like a sigh of resignation.
’Fortunately, His Majesty sent another avatar to guard Elysia. If not, I would really be in trouble right now,’ Sir Ferix thought.
"Well, like I said, your wife will follow you later. Anyway, let’s not talk about that. We’ve already arrived," Munez said as he stepped onto the platform.
Sir Ferix finally saw the surface of the platform, and it made him frown. There was a large formation engraved there, still bearing traces of devil energy.
The engraved symbols and each lines of the formation created an ominous, giant pattern, and from its style, Sir Ferix knew it was a devil’s formation. Godard and Aldrian also arrived on the platform, and Aldrian imdiately observed the formation. From the style, he recognized it as a complex devil formation.
He also noticed a small hollow space on the floor, as if sothing could be placed there.
Standing on the platform, he thought it was used as a place for so kind of ritual. He did not think much further, as Godard pushed him forward into the formation. Munez brought Sir Ferix to the center of the formation and placed him there. Aldrian was also pushed forcefully until he stood beside Sir Ferix.
After bringing both of them to the center, Munez and Godard’s figures disappeared and reappeared outside the formation. Munez then took out sothing from his storage ring. It was a large red crystal that exuded a strong devil energy. He placed the crystal into the hollow space on the floor outside the formation.
The mont he set the crystal in place, the entire formation lit up with a red glow, and a barrier instantly ford around it. As Aldrian observed the change, he sensed that the barrier contained powerful spatial laws, making it nearly impossible for anyone inside to escape by any ans.
Suddenly, the formation exuded a thick wave of devil energy that filled the space within it. Aldrian felt his mind being invaded by negative thoughts and whispers of temptation. It was truly like the devil’s whisper, trying to lure him into the devil path.
The devil energy also tried to enter his body, as if it sought to corrupt them and turn their bodies into those of devil cultivators.
Aldrian, with his strong mind and soul, managed to resist the whispers. His golden energy easily purified the devil energy inside him. He glanced at Sir Ferix and saw him struggling to withstand the ntal invasion. Aldrian moved closer and placed a hand on his shoulder.
Slowly, he channeled his golden energy into Sir Ferix to help clear his mind and purge the devil energy that tried to seep into his body.
Munez and Godard, watching from outside the formation, did not notice that Aldrian was channeling energy into Sir Ferix. They only thought Aldrian was helping Sir Ferix endure the effects of the formation, which in their eyes was pointless.
Sir Ferix, finally able to breathe a little easier thanks to Aldrian’s help, looked at Munez with a fuming expression.
"Munez! Why do you have the devils’ possession?! What the hell are you going to do to ?!"
"You just need to stay in this place for the ti being, and need to endure until I say otherwise. You will beco a new person after this formation drop, and you will have a new life—oh well, if you have life after that," Munez replied.
"You bastard! To think that you even have a connection with the devils! A fucking traitor! You will die a horrible death, Munez! You will die when karma strikes you!" Sir Ferix shouted in rage. This one truly angered him to the core.
He had already been told about the possibility of Munez’s connection to the devils from Aldrian’s avatar.
At that ti, he truly hoped that Munez did not really have any connection with the devils. Although he truly hated Munez because of their past, for the sake of the family’s history, he really hoped that Munez did not build any connection with the devils. That would tarnish their family’s bloodline because one of their own now had ties to the devils.
Now, for Munez to have a red crystal that exuded strong devil energy, and for him to know what kind of formation this was and how to activate it, there was no more doubt. Munez likely had a connection with the devils and had already visited this place in the past.
He couldn’t help but feel ashad to be his brother. He wondered when things had gone wrong. Why could his own blood brother go that far? Was it because of the Valroy family again?
Munez smirked as he saw his little brother’s angry face. He understood his brother’s fury, but he did not care. He turned to look at Aldrian.
However, he raised his eyebrows when he saw Aldrian’s calm expression. Those eyes looked at him calmly as Aldrian placed his hand on his little brother, as if trying to help him endure.
That sight finally made Munez frown. He thought sothing must be wrong with this man!
He didn’t seem to be affected by the formation at all!
The formation that could even turn the most powerful cultivator into a devil cultivator with the mindset of the devils themselves, seed to have no effect on this mysterious guardian.
A bad feeling rose within him, but he tried to calm his mind.
’Relax, there’s nothing wrong with the plan. He can’t change anything.’
But then he saw Aldrian smile, which deepened his frown. Aldrian opened his lips.
"I have to thank you for showing your true face, Munez. At least this problem will be taken care of much faster."
