Kranos also got the cue and quickly created multiple ti clones, using his Heaven and Earth Movent Technique as well in a frantic escape.
However, the mont he moved, Desmond, who was hiding in the shadows, struck without hesitation.
He had been studying the battlefield for a while, analyzing everyone’s moves. As an assassin, perfect timing was everything. Thankfully, he had finally gotten the perfect timing to attack after a period of calmness.
Glancing at Kranos, who also wanted to head out of the formation, Desmond used a new shadow movent technique he had created.
In an instant, his shadow vanished from its initial position about ten ters away and appeared within Kranos’s shadow.
His dagger also reached out, targeting Kranos’s neck. Just as Kranos was about to move, he felt a chill run down his spine.
Pause.
Without hesitation, Kranos moved his ti essence, shielding himself as he paused the ti in his surroundings. Everything froze, including the movent of the shadow.
Knowing that he didn’t have much ti to detect the danger, Kranos didn’t bother with it. Instead, using the Heaven and Earth Movent Technique along with the ti clone ability, he vanished from his position.
Using a few leaps, he appeared in front of the crack, precisely at the location where Kevin and the others were.
As soon as he appeared, to the shock of everyone excluding Aurora, the ti flow returned to normal.
Everyone stared at Kranos with wide eyes, and Desmond was in disbelief.
Controlling Kranos’s shadow previously, he was sure it would only be a matter of ti before Kranos was killed. He didn’t expect to turn around just to see Kranos standing there.
And, because of how fast Kranos had escaped by taking advantage of the pause in ti, he was unable to follow Kranos’s shadow and continue with the attack.
At that, Desmond’s eyes turned bloodshot and his gaze beca heated. He couldn’t let Kranos escape, especially not with that treasure.
anwhile, on Luka’s end, his face held a cracked expression as he shouted wildly in his heart.
"Blossom, luck... blossom!"
Luka had already guessed that although there was a crack in the barrier and they could use that to escape, escaping the God Realm experts wouldn’t be so easy. After all, this was a treasure at the divine level.
Because of this, he had no choice but to reluctantly help Kranos and the others using his terrifying luck.
As he shouted wildly internally, just then, it happened.
The mont everyone’s attention turned to Kranos and the others who were escaping frantically, a wave of mysterious energy washed through everyone.
A strange aura perated the surroundings.
Staring closely at the aura, everyone’s eyes widened in shock.
"This... this!" they exclaid.
"The fourth relic has appeared!" At the voices of everyone, they quickly turned and noticed the presence of the relic that was slowly erging from within the sand.
The relic looked pristine and held a unique charm.
Everyone no longer paid attention to Kranos and his group. After all, they had already experienced how difficult it was to obtain the treasure from them with their monstrous strengths.
However, if they could obtain this unique new relic, there wouldn’t be a need to bother about it.
With that, Ren’s gaze turned heated. Moving his mana, he rapidly ford spider-webbed seals that frantically scattered around and appeared around the relic.
He had completely forgotten about the relic that was in the hands of Kranos and his group because he wasn’t truly after the important nature of the relic. Rather, he just wanted to get his hands on a relic so he could obtain the main inheritance of the expert of the Divine Realm.
With that, he continued to draw the seals. Soon, magical glowing lines began to take shape around the relic.
Everyone’s eyes widened as they realized what was happening. The God Realm and God Incarnate Realm experts turned to stare at Ren with a look of apprehension.
The lady with the domain frowned as she spoke. "Ren! What are you doing?"
However, Ren didn’t pay them any mind. Fortunately, his formation seal, which he was setting up, had finally been completed.
At that, he activated his domain, and his spear rotated around him, creating a tornado of flas around him.
Everyone watched in shock as Ren’s domain slowly spread toward the surroundings, burning everything in its midst.
Not allowing Ren to have his way, the God Realm experts moved without hesitation.
Instantly, their domains spread out as well.
The world quickly beca filled with various elents — wind, water, fire, ice.
The temperature was distorted because of the various attacks. However, having created a formation which could enhance his domain as well, Ren wasn’t panicked.
Instead, not concerning himself with his domain, he left it to block out everyone while he quickly approached the relic.
Once the relic was in his hand, he would have no need to bother with any of these fellows.
Everyone had forgotten about Kranos and his party because of the appearance of the new relic.
anwhile, after escaping from the encirclent of everyone, the battles, and the formations, Luka once again created the unique space world and brought them in.
The mont they were inside the unique world, everyone let out a breath of relief.
"That was truly extrely dangerous." Luka’s voice held a slight thrill as he spoke. It was as though he perfectly enjoyed the process of stealing things from others.
After all, this was mainly what he spent his ti doing in the outside world.
Kathryn just threw him a glance and shrugged, not bothering to reply.
Kranos also spoke up after so silence. "There is a new relic. Are we taking that as the fourth one?"
Hearing Kranos’s words, everyone turned to look at Kathryn, waiting for her reply.
Kathryn just shook her head, giving them the answer. "Taking the treasure now would be too dangerous. Instead, we should wait for two more treasures to appear before making a move. Take this ti to recover your essence as well. The next battle might be more dangerous than this one."
Kranos also nodded at her words. All they needed was one more relic to complete them all. They didn’t include Aurora in their count at all. After all, she wasn’t their friend. Moreover, within the unique world Luka had created, Aurora wasn’t present. Because of this, they could plot and plan all they wanted.
Kranos also thought of sothing and turned to Kathryn. "About the soul treasure, what is that seal placed on it, and how do we remove it?" This was also sothing that had puzzled him the whole ti he was with the soul treasure.
Kathryn smiled then began explaining.
"That is a seal used to restrict the aura of a divine treasure. If not, it will cause a divine phenonon, bringing about unwanted attention."
At her words, Kranos nodded then waited for her to answer the second part of his question.
She didn’t keep him in suspense and quickly told him, "Just hand the treasure over to and I will remove the seal. I have a way."
Hearing Kathryn’s words, Kranos montarily hesitated. However, there was nothing he could do. He couldn’t remove the seal himself. On the other hand, he felt that Kathryn would most likely not go back on her word. After all, they had already co this far.
However, Kranos wasn’t too sure.
Humans could change their emotions with a certain asure of benefit when given the chance.
However, Kranos had greatly underestimated and misunderstood Kathryn, whose eyes flashed with a playful light the mont she received the soul treasure.
What was Kathryn’s goal all this ti? What was her reason for bringing Kranos so far? What was her reason for even going the extra mile to make sure Kranos obtained everything he wanted?
Pawn.
It was all because she wanted to make him her chess piece.
Aside from doing this, she had no other reason to do any of the things she did. After all, no one would willingly do things that weren’t beneficial to them, especially not Kathryn — the anomaly.
"Fortunately, with this soul treasure in my hands, you are only a few hours away from becoming my pawn. Finally. I can’t wait."
"Kranos, I can’t wait to see the expression on your face."
Kathryn almost broke her facade and let a cunning smile appear on her face. However, she withheld it just in ti.
Elsewhere, outside the realm of the unique world created by Luka, Aurora glanced around once more, noting the fact that Kranos and the others had disappeared.
She frowned and stamped her foot in anger. Seeing there was nowhere she could vent her frustration, she turned her attention to Ren, who was almost reaching the treasure.
"Speaking of which, I haven’t yet obtained a relic of my own. In that case, how will I advance to the next stage of the trial?"
Aurora frowned, and the next mont her figure blurred. Her movents turned ghost-like as she rapidly approached Ren.
