At the sa ti that Irving and the others took action, the Envoy of Filth was frantically escaping through the Angel Guild headquarters in a semi-transparent state. He had just recently fled from the cursed mirror, which ant that he was now quite close to Irving and the others.
The Envoy of Filth understood that he needed to find a very concealed location quickly. If he couldn't find a hiding spot, he would soon be discovered by the mbers of the Angel Guild. When he heard the piercing sound of alarms, he realized that his escape had already been detected.
"How could they notice so quickly?! What should I do now?!" The Envoy of Filth was in a state of panic. Though he still had enough energy to maintain his semi-transparent form for a while, he felt that ti was running out for him to find a safe place.
In a desperate situation, the Envoy of Filth decided to move toward the direction with the fewest people. Soon, he stumbled upon a narrow path. Although the path was winding and treacherous, at least there were no mbers of the Angel Guild present on it.
If the Envoy of Filth had been able to remain calm, he might have noticed sothing unusual. When the Angel Guild headquarters went into ergency mode, every route would certainly be guarded by mbers of the Guild. It was impossible for there to be a path unguarded by Angel Guild mbers.
In reality, this path was not a legitimate route within the Angel Guild's headquarters. It was an extension of an anomalous space within the Guild's internal structure. Once the Envoy of Filth could no longer maintain his transparent state, he had no choice but to revert to his human form, stumbling forward along the winding path.
After running for what felt like an eternity, the Envoy of Filth suddenly sensed that sothing was off. He realized he seed to be in a very strange space. The piercing alarms from the Angel Guild headquarters had faded; the surroundings were eerily quiet, so quiet that he could hear the sound of a pin dropping.
Finally, the Envoy of Filth chose to stop and observe his surroundings. It was at this mont that he suddenly felt the presence of soone behind him. He could even hear the person's heavy breathing.
A cold sweat broke out on the Envoy of Filth's forehead. He knew he couldn't afford to turn around easily; if he did, he could very well be killed by the unknown person behind him. So, the Envoy of Filth ultimately chose to flee quickly forward.
However, it wasn't long before he crashed into a transparent wall. At that mont, he heard the heavy breathing of the unknown person behind him once again. With no other options left, the Envoy of Filth quickly turned his head to see the face of the person pursuing him. But the instant he turned, his consciousness suddenly vanished.
Just like that, the Envoy of Filth was lost within the special space of the Angel Guild headquarters. No one, including the mbers of the Angel Guild, was aware of his predicant. Irving was still anxiously searching for the whereabouts of the Envoy of Filth with the other mbers of the Guild.
After about half an hour of searching, they suddenly realized that the Envoy of Filth seed to have vanished into thin air from the Angel Guild headquarters. Irving imdiately approached Aron.
"I think sothing is off here. Does your Angel Guild headquarters have any special hidden passages leading to the outside?"
Aron nodded. "Yes, we do have such special passages in our headquarters. However, the Envoy of Filth would have no way to utilize those passages."
"Then where could he have gone? Is it really possible for him to have escaped from the Angel Guild headquarters?"
Faced with Irving's inquiry, Aron could only shake his head helplessly. He truly had no idea what had happened.
Just as the two were left in silence, pondering what actions to take next, Anna suddenly appeared before them, looking very panicked.
"I just received an urgent distress call from the Green Ivy Company! We need to hurry to Jas's aid; he said he's being attacked by a portal radiating dark energy. Dark Monsters are pouring out of that portal like a tidal wave. If we don't get there quickly, the entire City of Warding will be destroyed by the Dark Monsters!"
As soon as Irving heard Anna's description, he realized that the dark energy portal Jas ntioned was the Dark Portal. He nodded heavily and said, "You Angel Guild mbers send soone to assist ! The rest of you stay here at the headquarters! You must ensure that the Envoy of Filth cannot escape to other areas!"
Aron nodded firmly. "I understand. You should head out right away; I'll have Nick accompany you."
For Aron, it was certainly not preferable to accompany Irving himself. He needed to ensure the safety of the Angel Guild headquarters. If he didn't join Irving directly, the only ones he could send were Nick and Anna. Although Anna was the first to know about the situation, Aron believed that having her stay would provide him with significant support. Therefore, he ultimately decided to send Nick with Irving.
Irving did not oppose Aron's decision; after all, Aron was the highest commander of the Angel Guild. "Alright then, have him co over quickly!"
Thus, Irving set out with Nick toward the headquarters of the Green Ivy Company. On their way, they even encountered so Dark Monsters fleeing from the Green Ivy Company headquarters. Although these Dark Monsters were not particularly strong, they were certainly capable of posing a threat to ordinary humans.
Irving and Nick swiftly eliminated all the Dark Monsters they encountered. "It looks like we need to pick up the pace; the situation with Jas must be extrely urgent," Irving remarked to Nick.
With that, both of them quickened their pace. After about fifteen minutes, they finally arrived at the location of the Green Ivy Company headquarters. When they saw the state of the headquarters, both of them were taken aback with shock.
The headquarters of the Green Ivy Company was completely surrounded by dark energy. They could only see the Dark Monsters that were continuously erging from the dark force; they couldn't even see the outer walls of the Green Ivy Company headquarters.
"Have Jas and his subordinates been trapped inside the headquarters? How are we supposed to rescue them? Do we really have to charge into such thick dark energy?" Nick was very hesitant at this mont. Although he was willing to help rescue Jas and his subordinates, he thought that directly entering such dense dark energy was practically equivalent to a suicide mission.
Irving's expression grew grave as he nodded. "If we want to save Jas, we don't have any other options."
Irving's words extinguished the last flicker of hope that Nick had held onto.
Nick took a deep breath. "Alright! I'll get ready as quickly as I can!"
As soon as Nick finished speaking, Irving bluntly replied, "Why do you need to prepare? You don't need to do anything at all! The upcoming action doesn't require your participation! Your responsibility is only to observe the situation around the Green Ivy Company headquarters and report any anomalies to the Angel Guild."
Nick was left very confused by Irving's words. He incredulously asked, "You brought here just to help you relay ssages to others? I think I can be of assistance during the operation."
Although Nick was already aware that the upcoming action would involve significant danger, he still wanted to join Irving in the mission. After all, in Nick's eyes, those who were qualified to act alongside Irving were undoubtedly the strongest among them. When Nick first joined the Angel Guild, his goal was to beco one of the most powerful mbers.
Irving shook his head with a smile. "I know you want to showcase your strength in front of , but I think you don't need to rush. This battle will last a long ti. The Night Blades must have made thorough preparations for this sudden attack. You will definitely have a chance to confront the elite of the Night Blades. So, just follow my plan for now."
After saying this, Irving transford into a beam of golden light and flew toward the Green Ivy Company headquarters. Though Nick felt sowhat dissatisfied, he ultimately decided to obey Irving's orders. He realized that defying Irving's instructions could very well lead to a complete failure of the Angel Guild's operation.
Nick found a concealed spot to hide, intending to vigilantly observe everything happening around the Green Ivy Company headquarters. If any unexpected situations arose, he would quickly inform Aron and Anna.
anwhile, inside the Green Ivy Company headquarters, Jas was struggling with his subordinates to defend themselves using the weapons and tools at their disposal. Although Elder Astra did not directly intervene, he had removed all seals from the Dark Portal. The Dark Portal was now fully channeling its dark energy into a massive surge of monsters.
These monsters were enough to pose a lethal threat to Jas and his subordinates. Jas already bore several wounds on his face, and he felt that he wouldn't be able to hold out much longer.
"Why hasn't the Angel Guild and Irving's support arrived yet? Have they abandoned ? Or are they planning to use as bait to distract the Night Blades?" Jas's anxiety was palpable, and he even began to worry that his allies had forsaken him.
