Chapter 638 Awkward Meeting
"Debra, great job."
"Mr. Ivan?"
The familiar smell and tone made it difficult for Debra to recognize the person in front of her. In her opinion, this man was more mysterious than she had imagined, and he exuded a different kind of wisdom.
"Yes, I am Ewen Marichatton."
Ivan nodded and kept checking his own condition.
He is not a creature from the fairy plane, so he is naturally suppressed by the surrounding environment. This is understandable.
However, the suppression here is a bit more fierce than expected. The initial estimate is close to 35%, and this suppression will increase rapidly over time. After exceeding a certain limit, it will be distorted or assimilated.
"I need to borrow the strength of both of you."
With a wave of his hand, a small stone statue floated out of his pocket. Without waiting for anyone to answer, he began to call upon the power of the small stone statue and Templer to conceal his existence.
The small stone statue was Mavis in disguise, and he brought her into the fairy plane.
Of course, for Mavis, it means returning to the plane she belongs to.
Seeing this, Debra moved her lips slightly but didn't say anything in the end.
In just a few seconds, the suppression on Ivan was reduced to about 20%. This was the best he could do in a short period of time, and it was enough for him to exert most of his abilities.
"Follow closely."
"We are all ancient kings. I will not fall behind."
This time it was Ivan who took the lead, and the group once again approached the most violent area of the storm, moving much faster than before.
The closer to the core area, the more complex the storm becomes, and it goes beyond the scope of ordinary storms.
"Did you find anything special?"
Ivan suddenly asked, and the person he was asking was Mavis.
Among the few people, only Mavis had some knowledge of the Emerald Spirit Realm.
"There is an energy node here that is connected to the Emerald Spirit Realm. The node should correspond to the outlet of chaotic energy. Combined with other factors, it is the reason why such a big storm was set off."
Mavis did not disappoint him and gave a serious answer.
This answer did not surprise Ivan. It was precisely because the situation was so complicated that it was possible to take advantage of the chaos to sneak into Antoinette's trapped place.
If he took the normal route, he would be discovered by Antoinette's enemies immediately.
Speaking of which, Antoinette used to be quite naive and unlucky, and was actually cheated by her good sister and outsiders. The "bitch" she mentioned was her good sister Virginie.
So many years have passed, and Vigdina has been keeping a close eye on her, and there's no telling how many traps she has set up to harm her.
As for why the other party did not kill Antoinette, Ivan did not know. He guessed that it might be related to Antoinette's identity.
Time passed minute by minute, and under his leadership, the group passed through numerous storms and chaos, successfully reached the core of the eye of the storm, and stopped just outside the storm.
“It’s so quiet here,” Debra muttered.
"Don't move, or you may end up with unpredictable consequences." Ivan warned in a low voice.
Inside the eye of the storm, there was neither wind nor waves, only a heart-pounding silence. It seemed as if there was no vitality at all here, and it was dead silent.
In fact, this is indeed a land of death.
From Ivan's perspective, he could see a large number of space cracks that were so tiny that they were barely noticeable. These space cracks looked tiny and not worth mentioning, but in fact they contained terrible power and were extremely restless.
Give him the feeling that the slightest movement could upset his balance and cause a fatal disaster.
Debra's face became serious after hearing the warning. She was not a person who lacked sense of propriety and she knew the priorities of things.
"Listen, there are countless terrifying space cracks ahead, densely packed like a web, full of murderous intent." Ivan continued, and ordered: "Mavis, try to sense Antoinette and see which crack connects to where she is trapped."
As soon as these words came out, Debra couldn't help but look at him with wide eyes, wanting to confirm whether what he said was true or not.
You have to know that the Queen of the Ocean herself, a dignified ancient king, cannot even see the cracks in space completely or clearly, which shows how great the danger hidden here is.
According to what the wizard said, he actually wanted to forcibly tear open a crack in space and then sneak in through it.
Putting aside whether this kind of thing can be done, in the process of action, as long as one action is not fully considered, it is very likely to trigger a chain reaction, and the outcome will definitely be not optimistic.
However, Ivan had made up his mind and ignored her inquiring look.
"I try my best."
Mavis, who had transformed back to normal human size, didn't think much about it. After hearing his instructions, she began to carefully sense her own aura.
Ivan was not idle, pointing out the locations of the space cracks for her one by one.
After half a day, Mavis had selected nineteen space cracks. After another half a day, sweat broke out on her forehead, but the final result was still uncertain, with eight cracks left.
"Oh no! How can this be--"
"Just be patient, this wizard is watching for you."
Suddenly, the space flickered for no reason and the positions of a large number of space cracks shifted. Seeing this, she was so anxious that her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
It was not until Ivan's gentle voice sounded in her ears that she refrained from doing anything rash.
"Mavis, if you don't need the Lucky Compass now, then when will you?"
"Yes!"
Mavis' eyes lit up, and she took out a compass made from a glass mirror.
The Glazed Mirror is the most precious treasure of the Succubus clan, who possess the blood of fairies and succubi. It is related to the power of the goddess of luck and was once offered by the Succubus girl Dafu.
Now, it has been refined by Mavis into a lucky compass, which can point to what you want in your heart.
Her bare hands held the compass motionlessly, and she nervously activated the great power within it. An invisible force swept over her body, and then there was no other movement, as if it had no effect.
"Start with the eight space cracks first, then explore the other eleven. Don't miss the others. Sensing from strong to weak, until you find it--" Ivan reminded softly.
"I found it! It's that one."
Before he could finish his words, Mavis exclaimed in excitement, and at the same time stretched out her finger, pointing at one of the eleven space cracks, her tone very affirmative.
The lucky compass in her other hand had lost most of its luster.
"Okay, let this wizard handle the rest."
Ivan nodded, without further ado, and signaled the three to retreat first. After all, the situation that would follow was unknown, and he could not even guarantee that he would be able to escape safely, so how could he have the energy to protect others?
"I have to go," Mavis said stubbornly, shrinking her body and transforming back into the small stone statue she had been before.
"Whatever you want." Ivan stuffed her into his pocket, flashed towards the center, and walked a distance away in the blink of an eye.
"Be careful!" Debra couldn't help but say as she stood there. "Wait for our news at The Hague Castle." When answering her, Ivan had already transformed into the Void King's spirit body. The extremely restrained Void King's spirit body was like a snake, winding around and approaching the target.
Seeing this, Debra had to leave with Temple.
Not long after the two left, the king silkworm transformed by Ivan crashed into a space crack. The crack opened slightly, swallowed it in, and disappeared completely.
As expected, the inside of the crack was filled with extremely active spatial energy and space turbulence that was constantly appearing and disappearing.
If he hadn't boasted of his extraordinary knowledge of space, he would have turned around and left if he had encountered such a dangerous place.
The place where Antoinette was trapped was certainly not a good place, but a special space called the 'inter-plane layer', which was equivalent to a thin membrane gap just outside the plane.
Such an interlayer position is mobile, like a floating bubble.
It is only possible to enter at a special time, in a special place, and through a special channel.
Right now, with the right time, right place and right people, all three factors are in place, and Ivan believes that this time he will win.
Reality is not subject to human will. After a short while, he was cut by the ubiquitous turbulence and was bleeding. Even the Black Soul Tower could not protect him. Nothing could be more strange than the power of space.
"Ivan, is there anything I can help you with?" Mavis asked worriedly.
"Keep a firm hold on Antoinette's breath and don't relax. Be careful of sudden changes here or you'll waste time." Ivan didn't think there was anything wrong with it, it just looked scary.
He is not only a Void King Wizard, but also a Legendary Star Lord. He has extremely strong and tenacious vitality, and can recover from minor injuries in minutes.
As long as the recovery speed is fast enough, the damage caused by the space turbulence will not catch up and will not be able to seriously injure him.
In this way, Ivan faced one obstacle after another, and was stabbed countless times along the way. Finally, he followed the deepest crack and squeezed into a thick barrier.
It was another dead silent space.
There was not even any light, only darkness covering everything.
After getting back on solid ground, he was surprised to find that his perception had been severely clouded, as if he had returned to being a second or third level wizard, and there was no comparison with before.
"We're here. The main body is not far over there."
Mavis and Antoinette have a unique relationship, they can sense each other's presence without having to rely on perception.
Ivan did not doubt it, he took a step forward, protecting Mavis as they walked to the other side, their footsteps barely audible.
In fact, there is a rather strange situation. They have all arrived at the place, but why hasn't Antoinette responded yet? This makes people think more.
Could it be that Antoinette had used up all her strength the previous time, or had some other changes occurred?
After the two passed through the darkness, a faint dark red light emerged, illuminating an area in front of them, as well as the people and objects in the area.
Looking at that place, both of them were stunned for a moment.
"Ah! Turn your back quickly."
Mavis reacted suddenly and quickly pulled Ivan to stand with his back turned.
However, it was not so easy for him to forget the impact of the scene just now.
The dignified ancient goddess was hanging upside down there with her limbs spread out, naked. A strange dark red flower was floating behind her. The flower was taller than a person and looked like a big mouth, breathing something at her.
He didn't know what to say. This method was too low-level.
However, he changed his mind and thought that perhaps this was the excellence of the other party's good sister Virginie, who clearly wanted to humiliate Antoinette with such a low-level method.
No wonder Antoinette didn't respond, it turned out she was pretending to be asleep.
"Ivan, you can turn around now."
Hearing Mavis' voice, Ivan turned around and found that Antoinette was already dressed, but the clothes needed to be protected with force, otherwise they would soon melt away.
Antoinette was also still tied there with a strange rope.
"Little wizard, you did a good job. I was not wrong about you. But this is not enough." As their eyes met, Antoinette tightened her face and tried to maintain her dignity.
One has to admit that she is indeed a naturally delicate deity, with outstanding appearance, figure and temperament.
Among the women Ivan had ever seen, Queen Lulucia of Comore was in the top half, but Antoinette was even better than her, and was simply the only one in the world.
Even though she was hung upside down in the air in an indecent posture, she still looked charming.
"Asshole wizard, are you thinking about something rude?" In an instant, Antoinette lost her composure and glared at him with bulging eyes, as if she wanted to pierce him.
"Evan." Mavis said coquettishly.
"I was wondering what's going on with the flower behind you. It seems to be somewhere between reality and illusion. Is it unique to the fairy plane? Will it cause any bad effects?"
Ivan changed the subject immediately.
Seeing his serious look, the two decided not to argue anymore. After all, they were still in trouble and time was running out.
"You guessed correctly. This flower is called 'Charming Greed'. It comes from our plane and has only one function, which is to induce evil thoughts in living beings and lead them to evil.
It's no big deal to this god. Once I'm out of trouble, I'll tear this disgusting thing apart."
After listening to Antoinette's explanation, Ivan did not ask any more questions and turned his eyes to the vine ropes that tied her.
“I know this very well. It is just a special elementary force weapon—the Thousand Withered Demon Rope. It has extraordinary toughness and is specially used to bind people. It will also continuously absorb the strength and physical strength of the bound person, causing them to dry up and decay.
Damn bitch!
Back then, in order to protect that bitch's self-esteem, I deliberately threw the Thousand Withered Demon Rope in a clever place, allowing her to find it by accident and plan an adventure. I never thought she would use it against me. How ridiculous!"
Antoinette continued, and she began to curse halfway through her sentence.
Come to think of it, being hung here like this for countless years, how depressing and humiliating it is. The key is that she can't explain it to outsiders or her clones.
She probably didn't know how many times she had scolded Virgidina over the years.
Coupled with the inducing effect of the Greedy Flower, it is not surprising that her personality has changed.
Since the Thousand Withered Demonic Rope was given by Antoinette, she must have a full understanding of this artifact of the Force. What she lacked was only the power to break the impasse.
"Antoinette, do I have enough power?"
After she finished scolding, Mavis asked impatiently.
The reason why Mavis insisted on coming here was to complete her mission and transfer her accumulated power to the main body so that the main body could gain the energy to break free from the shackles.
Bound by the Thousand Withered Demonic Ropes, only this effortless method could buy Antoinette time to break free.
"That's enough. Let the little wizard cooperate with me. The combined strength of the two of us should be enough." Antoinette nodded slightly.
"That's good." Mavis smiled.
Afterwards, both of them looked at a certain wizard. This matter still required his cooperation, and they had to act decisively, otherwise accidents would easily occur.
Once the enemy Vigidina finds out, not only will they be able to escape, but the situation of the other two will also be worrying. (End of this chapter)
