Chapter 431 Viktor's Dilemma
"THE TOWN IS BEING LOCKED DOWN. NOBODY CAN LEAVE OR ENTER THE TOWN UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. THE GOVERNORS REQUIRE EVERYONE TO COOPERATE FOR THE SAKE OF THE SAFETY OF THE TOWN AND ITS PEOPLE. THOSE FOUND BREAKING THE ORDER WILL BE PUNISHED!" A loud announcent resounded throughout the entire town. It was as if the announcent was purposefully made this loud to make sure even the ones holed up in the basent of their hos would be able to hear it, and the ones sleeping to get up right away and listen.
This way, nothing or no one could leave the town without vron's notice. There were already dozens of guards surrounding the borders of the town. Not even the high-ranking officials or adventurers were allowed to venture out.
So of the arrogant ones protested after getting stopped by re guards, but the mont the guards showed the order with vron's seal, they imdiately sealed their mouths shut and silently went back, not daring to disobey vron.
It was not even King Erzu or Queen Ashpa that ordered this but the President himself, who rarely interferes in the matters of the town. This ant that sothing very serious was going on, and based on the rumors passed from the guild building, it seed that a thief dared to steal sothing very important to the President.
"Shit…" Viktor placed his hand on his forehead in frustration and worry after realizing that it was too late for Seraphina to get out without drawing any suspicions.
He knew Ara wouldn't tell the truth even if she realized that sothing had happened to Narin and that the fruit was gone. So this entire lockdown wouldn't have been placed unless vron learned the truth sohow and must have already sent every man he could to hunt him down.
If Viktor was alone, he would have easily laid low and escaped upon getting an opening. He was good at escaping and hiding after perfecting these arts for centuries.
But if vron knew it was him, then he would surely capture Seraphina, at least as a hostage or punish her for being his accomplice.
"Damn…Sera…what do I do…" Viktor punched the tree before him as he knew what he should do, but at the sa ti, it might an Seraphina's realm might be fated for destruction. He also knew that Seraphina would tell him to just escape on his own and save her realm even if it ant she might die here. This was their mission, after all.
Viktor looked at the glowing red fruit in his hand and sighed. Fiona
It was as if they could feel a terrifying dragon's presence in this hall, looking down upon them like a god. Felia, Little Pina, Miri, and all the fairies and pixies in the Sacred Spirit Realm must be eagerly awaiting his and Seraphina's return with the fruit.
Even if he went back in to get Seraphina, he had no guarantee he could help her escape with so many powerful experts surrounding them, especially vron, King Erzu, and Queen Ashpa.
Just because he couldn't die didn't an he couldn't get captured. Even the rmaid princess was able to immobilize him, and unless he learned how to properly use his odic force, how could he hope to defeat those who had been mastering the way to use odic force for dozens and dozens of years? He didn't even know about the term until a few months ago.
He really regretted not knowing about all these things centuries ago before he went to sleep.
Still, he thought about the scenario where Seraphina never returned to her ho. Even if he restores the fruit in its rightful place, Seraphina's daughters wouldn't be able to survive without her love and protection. Those poor things might even die of heartbreak, considering how pure and innocent they were.
He took a deep breath as he firmly made a decision in his mind since he didn't dare to waste ti thinking lest sothing happens to Seraphina.
anwhile, inside the guild building, two demon nobles were being led towards the toilet by two guards after they said that they urgently had to go.
Both the guards waited outside, though, after a few seconds, the door opened as one of the demon nobles said in a frantic tone, "Guards! Get in here quick! Sothing is going on here!"
The two guards were startled by his words as they imdiately rushed inside, thinking that maybe the thief was hiding there.
But the mont they went in, all they felt was their heads getting smashed together before everything went dark and cold.
"Ahh…" The other demon noble gasped as he saw two sunken, bloodied heads on the floor. It was an instant kill, even though all he did was bash their heads together.
"Co on, Sera. You don't have ti to get shocked by these things. Quickly use your magic and make us look like them," Yanah said, bringing Seraphina back from her daze as she looked away from the bloody sight and cast another illusion to make themselves look like the dead guards.
Seraphina didn't even expect they would really make it out of that hall. All she did was follow Yanah's plan, where she first knocked out two nobles in the hall silently and took over their disguise. It was quite a big hall with various closed spaces, and thus it made Yanah's job easier.
Yanah was quite impressed by the quality of Sera's tricks since the disguise was quite impeccable, and even she couldn't tell the difference. She was already having her own suspicions about her identity after seeing her use her skills, but right now, she didn't have the ti to discuss it.
"You may not need saying this but stay calm and make sure you act like a guard till we get out of here," Yanah instructed since it seed as if Sera was surprisingly not used to these kinds of things, unlike Azu, who gave off that vibe.
She really gave off the vibe of a simple and innocent village girl who ended up in the wrong place at the wrong ti.
Seraphina nodded with her lips firmly pressed together and took a deep breath as Yanah prepared to open the door when suddenly Seraphina's eyes widened as she stopped Yanah, "No! Don't. They are waiting to capture us outside!"
