Chapter 536 Caught!

"Don't move… say not a single word as well…" Abaddon's terrifying voice lowly rang in Eli's ears, sending shivers down her spine.

The cold blade seemed to have no signs of hesitation as it tilted a little slightly, pointing to her chin.

"Eli-chan… what shall we do?" Wisey did not dare to also trigger panic in Eli's mind.

Instead, she very carefully asked in a steady voice but that was only to make Eli's mind remember that she was not alone and that she was there with her.

"Alert Baobao… be prepared to fight at any time," Eli replied.

But her mind was already running with many different scenarios to slip out of the situation but all of that would entail that she would trigger a premature fight with the whole of the main temple.

"I suggest you give up any chances of running or retaliating or else… your brother will also be in trouble." Abaddon saw through Eli's thoughts despite the latter's calmness.

As if in a queue, she heard a rustle on an area slightly in front of her and her eyes widened.

Her heart dropped when she saw Kayden also captured with Gabriel restricting his every move.

The two captains remained cold and unfeeling, making Eli impossible to think of a way out at the moment.

'Could this be the end?' She asked.

"No Eli-chan… don't panic… we are still here. We just have to find an opportunity to attack…"

"How… we do not even know what they would do. Will they bring us back to the temple to torture or kill us on the spot?"

"Regardless… we are too near to the harbor… an intense fight will cause chaos on the island!"

While Eli had been thinking hard, Abaddon's cold low voice rang once more.

"Move… Do not stop until I tell you…"

Then he made Eli turn in a certain direction back to the center of the forest. Feeling the cold blade and the faint pain of the graze on her neck, Eli could only follow the captain's instructions.

They were moving towards the deeper parts of the forest and the rustles behind her indicated that Kayden and Gabriel were following them as well.

She very much wanted to call on the earth fairies and ask for help but the blade was so close to her neck that she would never doubt that Abaddon would use it before she could muster her mana to move. Besides, Kayden is captured as well.

They were busted!



Eli could not hear anything other than their minuscule movements as her mind became more and more alert.

"It seems that we aren't going back to the temple... Is it?" Wiset noticed that the path they were taking was neither going back to the temple nor heading in the direction of Prince Nalu and the rest.

"I think that they must have some torture chamber here somewhere. Let's expect the worst and be ready." Eli replied as her heart turned more and more vigilant.

After waking for some time they arrived in a very secluded part of the forest.

"Reveal…" With a word from Abaddon, another path was revealed but it was not an underground path like Eli had expected.

"Seems like there's someone in the main temple who is not fond of underground facilities…" Wisey could not help but comment.

"Move…" Abaddon's cold voice entered once again and nudged Eli to step into a mystical portal.

"Eli chan…" Wisey was worried that once Eli stepped into the dimension, there would be no way for them to come back.

"Don't worry… if there's something… we'll ask the help of the Spatial King." Eli finally let out her trump card.

Back when they dropped by the spatial realm to meet the Spatial King, Zenith. Eli happened to bestow him a name and in return Zenith will grant him a wish.





Originally she intended for it to be used during their escape after they rescued the innocent on the holy island and caused a huge dent in the Spectre's plans.

However, now it seems that she will be needing it much earlier than expected.

"I see…" Wisey also underwood. Though she did not witness the conversation with Zenith, she knew that Zenith is one of the mystical beings in Prasinos second only to the angels themselves. He will be reliable when the time comes.

When they entered the portal, another forest path was revealed however the flora and fauna of the surroundings were completely different from where the holy island was.

No matter how much she thought about it, she knew that there was no such place on the holy island. So Eli could only guess that they were no longer on the Holy Island.

As much as she wanted to ask the two captains, they could only walk silently until they reached a wooden house that was neatly built in the forest.

The door opened and there were pitch-black surroundings inside.

"What is this place… so eerie.." Wisey could not help but express her thoughts about the matter.

Even as all of them had entered, Abaddon and Gabriel did not even open any source of light inside. It was also baffling to realize that even when the design of the wooden house outside had glass windows, not one of them brought light inside.

While Eli and Wisey were wondering about what happened, Abaddon suddenly let his sword disappear from her neck but instead put it in the back.

She could only feel the touch of a cold blade on her upper back as the force of Abaddon's hand forced her to bend down.

"Thud!" Kayden and Eli were put into a chair and their limbs were bound tightly. Only when the two were satisfied with ensuring that Eli and Kayden could no longer move, did Gabriel snap his fingers and light up a candle in front of them.

A faint orange light illuminated Eli and Kayden's faces while standing vigilantly in front of them were the two ash gray-haired captains.

"Who are you two? What is your purpose for sneaking into the holy temple?" Abaddon immediately started the interrogation.

"..." Eli and Kayden remained silent. They knew better not to tell anything when clearly these two people were going against them.

"Not going to talk?" Abaddon bent down and his ruthless-looking face stared intently at Eli and Kayden. Then an oppressing aura began to emit from his body.

'This…' Eli frowned in disbelief.

"Such a pure spiritual mana… for a cursed user it should be impossible!" Wisey also noticed the aura coming out from Abaddon.

"Does it mean that the captains can still use their original spiritual powers even if they were curse users?" Eli was now deeply confused.

"I have no clue as well… The temple personnel we have encountered who used their spiritual powers were all corrupted… But this guy… he doesn't have a single trace of it!"

Eli narrowed her eyes and tried to remember. Both the Pope and the 'Fake Paladin' have also displayed their powers in front of her but even then had an obvious trace of curse power in them.

Seeing their unusual appearance that was almost otherworldly, Eli thought that this might have something to do with their heritage or bloodline.

But she could not really be sure at the moment.

"Puff… Geez! These two were really brave! They did not even shudder with your coercion!" While the pressure created by Abaddon did not affect Eli and Kayden at all, Gabriel who was watching on the side could not help but feel amused.

Gabriel let out a playful smile and patted Abaddon's shoulders before saying, "Now… now… stop playing with our guests… right now we have to hear what they have to say…"

Kayden and Eli became more confused.

Abaddon's words and even the way they were treated all told them that they were out to dispatch them for being spies… but now…

Gabriel was looking at them with an amiable smile…

"Tsk… Such a killjoy…" Abaddon scoffed and rolled his eyes before he plopped down on a nearby chair and waved his hand.

"Whoosh!" In an instant, the candle in front of them disappeared and the pitch-black light was replaced with a warm tone of the sunlight.

The surroundings immediately changed and what's more, Eli felt that the bounds that had been restricting their movements earlier were now gone with no traces at all.

"An illusion?" Kayden was the first to react. Especially when he checked that the previous wound on Eli's neck seemed to have disappeared out of nowhere.

"Yes… that's Abaddon's specialty! Are you impressed?" Gabriel answered with a proud smile as he looked at the sulking Abaddon.

"Hmmf…" The Big guy Abaddon only crossed his arms and rolled his eyes to spite Gabriel's actions.

"Anyways… enough of this…" Abaddon's expression became serious and said,

"Who are the two of you? Why are you entering the holy island and trying to attempt the impossible by just relying on a few armies of Green Wave dwellers?"
