Although Elder Astra told the Abyssal Demon that he could easily attract Irving's two companions to the vicinity of the Abyssal Demon, he had not yet figured out how to lure them into the trap.
After thinking for a while, Elder Astra decided to summon his subordinates.
"Irving's two companions have entered the shelter ga world. Irving is our greatest enemy in the Night Blades, so we must eliminate his two companions."
Once he gathered his subordinates, Elder Astra began to explain his plan.
"I know that your strength is not very formidable. You are unlikely to be a match for Irving's companions. In fact, I do not need you to directly eliminate them. I only need you to lure them into the trap."
Elder Astra was very aware that the mbers of the Night Blades were quite fearful of Irving. After a series of previous events, all the ordinary mbers of the Night Blades were unwilling to confront Irving. They were even afraid to go up against Irving's companions.
"What you need to do is to constantly appear around Irving's companions. Make them notice you, and they will naturally pursue you. Once they take the bait, you can imdiately choose to escape."
Elder Astra had practically laid out all the details of the operation. He could now wait for his subordinates to lure Irving's two companions into the trap.
The trap that Elder Astra had prepared was not actually the Abyss.
He wanted to entice Irving's companions into a trap of his own design. Then, during the battle, he would pretend to be defeated by Irving's companions.
This way, when Elder Astra made a hasty retreat, he could lure Irving's two companions to the location of the Abyssal Demon.
After finalizing all the plans, Elder Astra began waiting for Irving's companions to take the bait.
Although the ordinary mbers of the Night Blades had a certain fear of Irving's companions, they also understood that they had to carry out Elder Astra's orders.
In a sense, Elder Astra was even more intimidating to the ordinary mbers of the Night Blades than Irving.
Irving generally would not make things too difficult for the ordinary mbers of the Night Blades, but Elder Astra would indeed impose severe punishnts on them.
It wasn't long before two ordinary mbers of the Night Blades arrived around Aron and Benjamin.
The two of them wanted to discuss how to attract Aron and Benjamin's attention. However, before they could co to any conclusion, Benjamin and Aron noticed their presence.
Imdiately, the two attacked the Night Blades mbers. Faced with such a situation, the two ordinary mbers of the Night Blades could only choose to flee in panic.
"I knew it! The anomalies we encountered must be related to the Night Blades! Those mbers have been secretly monitoring our every move! We can't let them escape so easily!" Aron growled at Benjamin.
Aron had always harbored a strong disdain for the Night Blades. He hoped to eliminate all their mbers, and he certainly would not spare even the ordinary mbers.
Benjamin remained silent, feeling that sothing was off.
In Benjamin's view, although their strength was not as formidable as Irving's, their presence here should have drawn the attention of the Night Blades' elders.
Why would the Night Blades send ordinary mbers to monitor them? They should have sent elders for such a task. Even if the Night Blades had sent ordinary mbers, they shouldn't have been so easily frightened into fleeing.
Although Benjamin was filled with questions, he had no opportunity to voice them. He felt they should first capture the two fleeing ordinary mbers of the Night Blades.
While the ordinary mbers of the Night Blades were quick to escape, they certainly could not outrun Aron and Benjamin.
Soon, Aron and Benjamin caught up with the two ordinary mbers of the Night Blades.
"Have you been monitoring us this whole ti? What is your purpose? Do you have an elder from the Night Blades directing you?" Aron demanded fiercely.
The two ordinary mbers of the Night Blades were visibly panicked, offering no response as they stared fearfully at Aron and Benjamin.
Aron, lacking in patience, decided to attack the two ordinary mbers. Although he didn't unleash his full power, his strikes still caused them considerable pain.
"Stop hitting us! We'll answer your questions! We were indeed monitoring you, but our only goal was to ensure we were aware of your every move. There is indeed an elder from the Night Blades behind us—Elder Astra."
"Where is he now? Do you have any other companions?" Aron continued to press for answers.
While Aron was interrogating the mbers of the Night Blades, Benjamin remained vigilant, observing their surroundings. He felt certain that there could not be just two mbers of the Night Blades nearby. There had to be more of them lurking around.
Before Aron's questions could receive any answers, a large number of Night Blades mbers appeared around them. These mbers were not particularly strong, but they were ard with items that could pose a threat to Benjamin and Aron.
"Stop questioning them! We need to defeat the Night Blades mbers around us first," Benjamin quickly reminded Aron.
In Benjamin's view, they had to address the more imdiate threat at hand. Aron understood that Benjamin's assessnt was correct.
Thus, the two of them began to attack the surrounding mbers of the Night Blades. During the battle, they encountered so difficulties. However, since their strength far exceeded that of the ordinary Night Blades mbers, they did not take long to achieve victory.
The majority of the ordinary mbers of the Night Blades were eliminated, with only a few fleeing toward an unknown area. Aron and Benjamin imdiately chose to pursue them.
Although both of them knew that heading into the unknown could lead to greater dangers, there were also opportunities that ca with such risks. If they could find more useful clues in the unknown area, they could provide greater assistance to Irving.
As they chased after the fleeing mbers, Aron and Benjamin sensed that the surrounding environnt was becoming increasingly strange. They gradually slowed their pace and ultimately stopped in front of a dark castle.
"Do you feel like this castle seems sowhat familiar?" Aron asked Benjamin after examining it closely.
Benjamin slowly nodded. In his eyes, the castle appeared eerie and foreboding. It seed to emanate a powerful dark energy outward.
"Since you've both arrived, why not co in? Are you afraid of ?" The voice of Elder Astra echoed from within the castle.
Upon hearing Elder Astra's voice, Benjamin and Aron instinctively prepared for battle.
"There's no need to be overly tense! I lured you here simply to discuss a collaboration. I do not wish to be your enemy," Elder Astra said in a gentle tone.
Benjamin and Aron found themselves unable to determine whether Elder Astra's words were genuine or not. Although they did not launch an imdiate attack, they remained on high alert.
"What kind of collaboration do you intend to discuss? Are you willing to help Irving recover his strength quickly?" Benjamin asked Astra directly.
Elder Astra chuckled lightly, "If Irving needs my assistance, I would certainly provide it. Not long ago, I collaborated with him. Have you forgotten that I was your ally during the battle against Sophia?"
Astra's statent was indeed accurate. However, Benjamin and Aron still did not trust him. They knew that during the fight with Sophia, Astra had not been particularly effective.
"You were indeed our ally in the previous battle, but you didn't contribute much. As far as I know, you were easily defeated by Sophia. How can we know whether you were defeated due to your weakness compared to Sophia, or if you intentionally avoided a direct confrontation with her?" Benjamin continued.
While Benjamin did not harbor significant hostility towards Elder Astra, he also felt no need to be overly polite.
Astra did not respond imdiately. He slowly stepped out from the entrance of the castle.
"The collaboration I want to discuss is related to what you just ntioned. Sophia has indeed been sealed, but that doesn't an she can't pose a threat to you. The power of the blood moon that Sophia possesses is unimaginable to you. Even in her sealed state, she can still pose a significant danger to all of us."
Astra's words caused both Benjamin and Aron to feel so apprehension. Although they remained skeptical, they both desired to obtain more information.
"It seems you are genuinely interested. Then co with into the castle. This castle has a very close connection to werewolves, and it can help us understand the power of the blood moon," Astra said before turning and walking toward the castle.
Benjamin and Aron exchanged glances, each seeing confusion and concern in the other's eyes. However, neither of them intended to leave imdiately. They followed Astra into the castle, one after the other.
Before entering the castle, Aron deliberately dropped two scrolls at the entrance. The mont the scrolls touched the ground, they vanished. Aron had left a route of escape for himself and Benjamin.
