Chapter 476: Rescue: Part 3
“Death’s Illusion?” Adolf smiled bitterly. “Has my Sacred Vessel failed?”
He knew in his heart that he had really been fooled by the Great Sage.
The failure of his Sacred Vessel was probably the work of that person.
“Well, so be it if I die… I don’t have to worry about this and that.” He sat calmly on the steps and looked at the blue clouds in the sky.
“Look! What is that?!!” Suddenly, Xie Qiaoyue exclaimed as she pointed into the sky in the distance.
The other five quickly looked at the direction she pointed.
A thick, dark cloud from afar was slowly moving towards them.
“No… those are not clouds! Those are insects!” One of a woman in a sleeping gown suddenly yelled.
Adolf looked closely, and sure enough, the black cloud was not a cloud at all, but a dense swarm of countless black insects.
Due to their numbers, they converged into a cloud-like natural disaster.
Adolf looked at the area where the cloud enveloped and everything, the scenery included were all being torn apart by the ravenous insect swarm as the Death’s Illusion was quickly disappearing as well.
“Is this our end?” Someone cried in a low voice.
The six had all subconsciously came together as they stood at the point in the Death’s Illusion furthest away from the black clouds, looking on as the black clouds closed it. Despair soon started to well within their hearts.
Gradually, the dark clouds in the sky turned into a giant human face.
The face was exactly the same as Faldt they had seen earlier.
He was ravenously consuming everything as he slowly closed in.
“Seems like not even our souls would be left behind…” The old man sighed while the rest kept silent.
Adolf calmly looked at the approaching black cloud, he could feel that it was Faldt’s will made manifest, he was consuming the last of the power of their soul for other purposes.
“Master… I’m sorry. I have not lived up to your trust…”
He knew very well that Lin Sheng was waiting for him to return.
The holy seal on him allowed everyone from the Holy Sanctum to know of his safety.
But whether did he really betrayed them, everyone in the Holy Sanctum knew very well. It was just that he did not expect everything to come to this.
Unconsciously, Adolf thought of many, many things.
In his daze, he seemed to see the Night Lord, Khadula, Fatty, his parents…
Finally, he saw his master, Lin Sheng in white light.
That was the moment he saw his master for the first time.
“Adolf, have you given up?”
The cantering of horseshoes rang out behind him.
Adolf suddenly turned back as a ma.s.sive wide vortex had slowly emerged behind him without him realizing it.
Amidst the vortex, a burly knight in heavy armor on a menacingly armored warhorse slowly stepped out of it.
The knight stood up high, as the pair of pale golden draconic eyes stared coldly and calmly at him, with the rest present could not help but whisper.
“Did it took just a mere setback to completely defeat you?”
The voice beneath the knight’s armor was very familiar to Adolf.
His body shivered violently, his nose turned sore as tears and snot all gushed out in a single go.
Even now, his master had not forsaken him?
“I had betrayed…” He could not help but fall to his knees as he burst into tears.
“Stand up! What are you crying for!?” Lin Sheng growled.
“you are my disciple! Even if you were to die, I will drag you out of this forsaken place!!” The Gorefiend beneath him too snorted, letting out a b.e.s.t.i.a.l roar.
“Stand up! And follow me!” Lin Sheng commanded as he looked up at Faldt’s approaching face and his gaze turned fierce.
Only then did the five recovered from their daze.
A vortex had suddenly opened up behind them, then a heavy knight riding a three meter-tall horse-like beast walked out of it had them shocked and frightened.
They had never expected the person to be Adolf’s master.
“My goodness… What sort of background Adolf had for his master to be able to chase after this place…?!!”
“Could it be that he is some apex Darksider?”
“What sort of Darksider could chase after this place?”
The rest looked on dumbfounded as Lin Sheng and Gorefiend slowly walked out of the vortex.
If it was any other places it may be all fine and dandy, but this was the Death’s Illusion, a place where only souls could exist.
It was one of the most mysterious dimensional rifts for a long time.
For someone to be dressed like this, and bringing with him his own portal, no matter how foolish one person was they would still be able to tell that that person was not someone to be trifled with.
Plus, seeing how Adolf had collapsed and wept on the ground as he murmured between sobs, even fools knew what this moment was. It was time to throw themselves on someone’s legs!
The lady in the sleeping gown was the first to rush over, but before she could get close, she was forced to retreat by Gorefiend’s menacing aura.
That made every other person who had tried to get close to stay back.
Xie Qiaoyue too had originally intended to throw herself at him.
But after hearing Lin Sheng speak, she felt that the voice was very familiar.
And soon a voice deep within her memory came out from her mind.
She then remembered.
“This he not… Is he not….!!?” Xie Qiaoyue immediately turned pale as she quickly moved away from Lin Sheng.
Simply taking Lin Sheng as a savior would be the worst mistake ever.
She was very aware of the ident.i.ty and strength of the person before her.
Back then, the big boss of the Ironfist Society was murderous and did not match the image of a righteous organization.
And this sort of big bosses, if you get too close and upsets them, you only have yourself to blame if you get off-ed in an instant.
Lin Sheng ignored Xie Qiaoyue at that point in time and instead looked up at the encroaching black clouds.
“Just a mere will manifestation.”
He opened his right hand, as pure white holy power quickly coalesced into a ma.s.sive three-meter-long holy sword.
“Gorefiend!” He rumbled.
The Gorefiend immediately roared as it unleashed a potent red soul force.
The soul force immediately shrouded the slightly unstable Death’s Illusion and stabilized it once again.
“The Ward of Storms.” Lin Sheng held the giant sword high as a white silk-like current rapidly formed around the blade as a tidal wave of holy power enveloped the blade.
“Get at it!!”
Suddenly, a white line lit up in everyone’s eyes.
The scorching white light suddenly split the s.p.a.ce before it.
The great holy blade in Lin Sheng’s hand blasted away as countless of light particles surged out of it.
A violent gale blew as the current roiled, tugging the hair and clothes of everyone present.
The blade in Lin Sheng’s hand had instantly turned into a pure white storm as it blew violently towards the black clouds in the sky.
The white wind and black clouds clashed and annihilated each other, creating a large number of small gray lightning arcs.
“Had he gotten stronger?” Lin Sheng sneered, as he forcibly suppressed the killing intent in his eyes.
“Let’s go.”
He turned his horse and walked into the vortex behind him.
Adolf wiped off the tears and snot on his face and quickly followed.
Xie Qiaoyue quickly reacted and pulled the lady in the sleeping gown beside her.
“RUN!!” She yelled as everyone rushed into the vortex as it began to shrink, disappearing within it.
