Chapter 597

[Inner Perception of Destiny] was an excellent skill.

Once Shien entered the state of hiding, lurking, or ambushing, not only could he conceal his smell, breathing, footsteps, and aura, he could even reduce his presence to a certain extent. It could even work on the surrounding environment and individuals. Out of all the concealment skills, this skill was undoubtedly the strongest.

With this skill, even if someone stood right in front of Shien, they would not be able to detect Shien's presence.

With such a foul skill, one could imagine how terrifying it would be if Shien were to launch an attack and assassinate someone right in front of him.

With this skill, Shien was confident that as long as he did not expose himself, the chances of anyone discovering him would be less than one in ten thousand.

However, if the Necromancer in front of him was using the method of detecting Life Force to investigate, Shien would not be so confident.

After all, [Inner Perception of Destiny] did not have the effect of concealing a person's Life Force.

It was an aura that would be emitted by any living being. The Goddess of Life, Anima, had a pair of eyes that could see through this type of Life Force. That was why Elise, the Saintess of the Foxes, could track Shien and discover Shien's traces even from thousands of miles away.

If this Necromancer could use a spell to detect Life Force to detect the aura of other living beings in the area, then Shien might be exposed.

At this thought, Shien's gaze turned cold. He reached out and grabbed the holy sword at his waist.

If the Necromancer really discovered him, Shien would not mind acting as an assassin. Before the Necromancer could react, he would immediately launch an attack and kill him.

The other party was a Necromancer, a taboo and filthy existence. Adding on the fact that he was staying in a place like this, he definitely had a deep relationship with Mara. Sean did not need to have any misgivings. He would not feel the slightest bit uncomfortable killing him.

Coincidentally, his [Inner Perception of Destiny] also had the effect of increasing the success rate of assassination.

When in the state of hiding, lurking, or ambushing, one's attack power would be greatly increased.

When in the state of hiding, lurking, or ambushing, one's attack accuracy would be greatly increased.

With these two effects, even if the Necromancer was a Legendary-level Necromancer, Shien was confident that he could kill him in one strike.

Shien was prepared.

Because of this, Shien completely ignored the last effect of [Inner Perception of Destiny] — when in the state of hiding, lurking, or ambushing, one would automatically avoid detection spells.

In other words, reconnaissance, probing, and reconnaissance magic were ineffective against Sean, who was in the lurking state.

Clang!

The High Priest's bony hand pressed on the crystal ball, causing the crystal ball to emit a pale green light.

Amidst the radiance, scenes appeared on the crystal ball, and the auras of the living beings in the surrounding area were reflected back.

Suddenly, places with living people appeared on the crystal ball one after another. It was like a video being broadcasted, flashing scene after scene.

There were images of slaves at work. were images.

There were images. There were.

There were images of people moving in the mine tunnels.

There were also images of underground rooms, prison rooms, torture rooms, interrogation rooms, and other places where people could be found.

Including this stone house, it also appeared on the crystal ball.

However, there was only Limjow's reaction as a living person. There was no reaction from the high priest or Sean at all.

Seeing this, Shien couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

The High Priest, on the other hand, seemed to be frowning. He kept waving his bony hands as he looked at the image on the crystal ball, as if he was carefully inspecting it.

Limcho didn't dare to make a sound. She stood there, trembling, and didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

After a while, the High Priest confirmed everything. She was silent.

"… … It seems that the [Cloister of Death] might have malfunctioned."

The High Priest reluctantly admitted this.

She didn't want to admit it.

However, since he couldn't find any abnormalities, the Necromancer could only accept it for now.

But …

"There's no harm in being careful. Give the order to increase the security level. Also, let the Knights check those workers and servants. See if there are any strangers." The High Priest said cautiously, "The Queen's plan is coming to an end. There can't be any mistakes at this time. Understand?"

"Yes." Limcho quickly agreed. But she didn't leave immediately. Instead, she looked at the High Priest carefully. There was fear in her eyes, but also some expectation and desire.

Glancing at Limjoo, the high priest waved his hand without batting an eyelid, and a pale green light appeared on the crystal ball in front of him.

The radiance circled around the crystal ball, then suddenly swept out and arrived in front of Limjow.

Limcho was overjoyed. He quickly reached out and grabbed the light and stuffed it into his mouth.

Yes.

Limcho swallowed the pale green light.

After swallowing it, an unhealthy green color appeared on Limjow's face, and the aura on his body became even colder than before.

However, at the same time, Limjow's aura actually rose a little.

"This …"

Shien was slightly startled. He immediately thought of something and used the peeping ability of [External Destiny] to look at Limcho's current level.

With this look, Shien was surprised.

"Level 84?"

Limcho's level had actually increased to above 80?

"That's not right."

He could still remember that when Cosmos first met Limjow, he was only around level 70. There was still a long way to go before he reached level 80.

Now, it had only been about two months, and his level had already risen to over 80?

There was definitely something wrong!

Moreover, the problem was with this Necromancer. Or rather, it was with the pale green light that Limcho swallowed.

"Go down." The High Priest said to Limcho, "As long as you work for us loyally, I will not be stingy to give you more [Spiritual Essences] as supplements to increase your strength."

Saying this, the High Priest's voice became full of temptation.

"Do you still remember the wish you told us before?"

Hearing this, Limcho's eyes turned cold, and his face became a little ferocious.

Back then, when he was brought here, Limjow had indeed stated his wish.

"I want to defeat Shien Boztut and get Rosie Lusti Mithra."

This was Limcho's obsession, or rather, madness.

Unfortunately …

"With your strength, you are definitely not that person's opponent." The High Priest said mercilessly, "He can single-handedly crusade against the [Slaughterer Faction], the Old Demons Faction, and can also destroy half of the kingdom's knights. Even dragons were tamed by him, and the strongest evil god also bowed down to him. He even has demonic dragons around him. How can a young master of a duke's family like you deal with him?"

Limcho's expression suddenly became even more ferocious.

However, the High Priest did not stop.

"You should already know that he killed your father and caused the Sterling family to fall apart. He also successfully won the heart of the kingdom's most precious treasure and became her fiancé." The High Priest seemed to be talking to himself. "Perhaps, it won't be long before the princess you love will climb into someone else's bed and become someone else's exclusive property."

Limcho's breathing began to quicken, and his aura also became extremely chaotic and evil.

Gradually, Limcho's eyes turned green.

It was not that kind of green, but a very horrifying green.

This scene made the Grand Priestess laugh.

He laughed very satisfactorily.

Looking closely, the High Priest looked at Limcho's eyes as if he was looking at a meticulously made piece of art.

"You are indeed very cultured, much better than that useless uncle of yours." The High Priest laughed sinisterly, "Don't worry, as long as I am here, there will be enough [Spiritual Essences] for you to use. At most, after a while, you will become a legendary master."

"At that time, you will have the ability to resist Shien Boztut."

"Work hard."

"Work hard."

"I, am very optimistic about you."

Hearing the High Priest's words, Limcho raised his head, and the ferocious expression on his face began to fade.

However, the ghastly green light in his eyes did not dim.

"Yes." Limcho respectfully bowed his head and said, "I will definitely not let you down."

"That's good." The High Priest nodded with satisfaction and said, "Go down. Except for me, everyone here must listen to you. You also have the highest authority. You can kill whoever you want and play with whichever woman you want. Only the basement is not allowed. That is the place where the Royal Concubine plays. Even I cannot go down there. Do you understand?"

"Yes." Limcho responded.

However, there was still some regret on his face.

Because he knew that the "goods" in the basement were the best.

But that was the exclusive playground of the Royal Concubine, not a place he could go.

Limjow could only hide this regret in his heart and respectfully retreated.

Only then did the High Priest put away his creepy smile, and a cold expression appeared on his face.

"Royal Concubine …"

"Mara …"

"Hmph …"

As if he was unhappy about something, the High Priest coldly snorted and then closed his eyes.

That motionless, lifeless look made him look like a dead body.

Sean, who had watched everything from the sidelines, retreated from the stone room.

He did not touch the High Priest, nor did he touch Limcho.

Even though Limcho made him want to do something, but Shien still held back.

He still had some places he wanted to go, so he could not alert the enemy so quickly.

"Basement …?"

Shien mumbled, then turned his head and looked in a direction.

That place seemed to lead to a deeper part of this space.
