Beside a lake in the Negative Plane, there was an abnormally large magical formation. There were only a few animals moving around the formation.
Any intelligent being knew that this place had been designated by the Gathering of Darkness as a place where no other intelligent being could approach except for the members of the Gathering.
Of course, even so, there were still some intelligent beings who wanted to cause trouble.
"Are you sure there's what we want here?" The serpentine high priest asked her companion in a low voice.
"Yes, I'm very sure. Those bastards from the Gathering of Darkness wouldn't set up a magical formation here for no reason." The harpy shook her claws. If not for the fear of being discovered by the minions of the Gathering of Darkness, she wouldn't even consider walking on the ground.
"Hmph, I hope your information is accurate. Lord One-eye paid a huge price for us to enter this place." Another Lich in a cloak slowly followed behind the team.
"Midra, what's the situation up ahead?" The serpentine high priest ignored the lich and instead asked the fallen fairy sitting on top of her head.
"Very bad … I can only see five meters ahead. The magical formation here is very sensitive to power …" Midra rubbed her eyes.
"Also, I don't know why, but I've felt very uneasy ever since we came in, as if we're being watched by something …" Midra looked around cautiously. If not for the elven heart that the fallen one had given her as a reward, she wouldn't even want to enter this damned place.
"Wait!" The harpy stopped in her tracks.
The lich picked up her staff, and the serpentine high priest was ready to cast a strengthening spell. Even the fallen fairy had taken out her bow.
"What's wrong?" The serpentine high priest asked in confusion after not noticing the enemy for a long time.
"… I'm looking at it …" The harpy's expression was very calm.
Hearing this, her teammates became even more vigilant, making the harpy feel even more awkward.
"Heavens! Oh Dark Gods, how do I explain that I'm just trying to shake off the sand in my claws? " The harpy felt like she was about to break down, especially when her serious teammates made her feel even more embarrassed.
"Poor little fellow, why don't you dare speak your mind?" A man wearing a hood and a cloak walked out of the fog.
"Who are you?" The lich raised the staff in her hand and pointed at the unfamiliar man warily.
"Me? I'm an assassin. "The hood blocked the man's face, only his mouth and chin visible.
"Assassin? A human? "The Naga High Priest clearly didn't believe it.
The hooded man smiled and disappeared into thin air in the next second.
"Be careful!" The Fallen Fairy pointed behind her, and the man suddenly appeared behind them.
"Where's my weapon?" The Lich looked at his hand in surprise. The staff that was in his hand was gone.
"My bow … is in his hands." The Fallen Fairy looked at the Assassin warily. The Assassin was holding their weapon.
"I think we can talk now." The hooded man smiled and threw the weapon back.
"Which organization are you from? Why did you come here? "The Lich asked cautiously.
Being able to take their weapons in an instant meant that they could kill them in an instant. One had to respect the strong.
"Walking in the dark night, serving the light, all things are void, all things are permitted." The hooded man stood there calmly.
"I am the middle finger of the Assassin Brotherhood. I have my reasons for coming here." The hooded man turned around and walked forward.
"Where are you going?" the Naga High Priest hurriedly asked.
"To the center of the magic array, of course. Isn't that your goal as well?" The hooded man didn't stop. He continued walking slowly.
The Naga High Priest and the others exchanged glances and silently followed the hooded man.
No matter what, their lives were in the hooded man's hands. They had no choice but to follow.
"My Lord, you seem to be very familiar with this place." The Naga High Priest was a little confused. The hooded man walked as if he were returning to his own home. He walked in a certain direction without hesitation.
He wasn't affected by the Confusion Fog at all. After all, they had taken many detours before.
"Because you're not strong enough." The hooded man's words nearly choked the Naga High Priest to death.
"My Lord, your strength is truly unfathomable." The Naga High Priest resisted the urge to curse and flatter the hooded man.
"I'm not that strong. The difference between us is only this small." The hooded man extended his hand, his index finger and thumb two centimeters apart.
The Naga High Priest's tail flicked in annoyance. She really couldn't resist the urge to curse.
"We're here." The hooded man stopped.
The Naga High Priest hurried forward to take a look. She saw a palace with luxurious furnishings and exquisite decorations. It looked like …
"So much money …" The Fallen Fairy gulped. If these gems were given to her, she wouldn't have to accept missions for years.
But these gems were used to pave the way here?
"Is this what the Dark Council hid?" The Lich excitedly held the staff in her hand.
She didn't want money. She just wanted to stab the Dark Council in the back. As long as the Dark Council was unhappy, she would be happy.
"My Lord, what do you need? Please take it first." The Naga High Priest looked at the hooded man respectfully.
The strong had special privileges. It was the same in every world.
"Oh? Then I'll take it myself. "The hooded man took out four pieces of paper and handed them to the other four intelligent creatures.
"This is?" The Naga High Priest took the papers in confusion.
[This Snake is willing to become (blurred) owner and work in (blurred) custom shop. I will accept all customers and maintain a perfect working attitude.]
"This is a slave contract?" The Lich looked at the hooded man angrily.
The Naga High Priest silently blessed his teammates. The Fairy also angrily used her strongest attack. The Harpy High Priest flew into the sky, ready to attack the hooded man at any time.
"You have a problem with that?" The hooded man didn't move. He only raised his head and glanced at them.
Endless fear. Just a glance was enough to throw them into the abyss of their souls. Intense fear and crazy thoughts filled their minds.
"My Lord, my Lord! Please let us go! "The Naga High Priest rolled on the ground in pain.
"It's not like I don't give you a choice. After all, I'm not a demon." The hooded man sat in the air with a smile.
"Either I throw you into the abyss of your souls or you come work in my custom shop."
The four intelligent creatures glanced at each other, then signed the contract dejectedly.
"Come in with me." The hooded man smiled and took the slave contract back. He pushed the door open and walked in with the four intelligent creatures.
"Master, you?" The Naga High Priest was a little frightened.
"Me? This is my home. The Dark Council sealed me. "The hooded man smiled and closed the door.
