"You …" The guard called Sanji was a Light Magician, after all. The others were struggling to even move their eyes, yet he was barely able to speak.
Sanji saw Mofan and Mochizuki Chihaya showing up. However, Mofan was no idiot. There was no way he would let the guard see his face. He had already set up a dark mist in front of him, concealing his handsome face.
"Take a nap!" Mofan went up to the guard and knocked him out.
The whole castle was filled with a strong presence of darkness. Mofan's Giant Shadow Spikes were significantly stronger. The other two guards were surrounded by the dark mist. It was no longer necessary to knock them out. It was unlikely that they would be able to break free in a short period of time.
"Hurry up," said Mofan, glancing at Mochizuki Chihaya behind him.
Mochizuki Chihaya looked at Mofan. Her eyes flickered gently, "Thank you … for your help."
"Don't mention it, I'm a fan of thrills," replied Mofan.
He was right, he was a fan of thrills. For example, breaking into a Japanese female instructor's room and peeping at her naked body was a f * * king thrill!
Mochizuki Chihaya quickly went to the narrow entrance. She knew that the guards would not have the key to the Nightmare Room. She leaned against the thick door and spoke to the person inside.
Mochizuki Chihaya was speaking in Japanese, so Mofan could not understand her.
A moment later, Mochizuki Chihaya turned around and looked at Mofan. Judging from the excitement in her eyes, Mofan knew that her brother, Iwata, was inside the room.
"Why are they keeping you here? Aren't you supposed to be guarding the place?" Mochizuki Chihaya was feeling emotional. Her eyes were already red.
Iwata had been missing for such a long time. She almost thought her brother had vanished into thin air. To her surprise, he was only a bridge away from her. As a member of the West Guard Pavilion, how could Mochizuki Chihaya not know how terrifying the prison was?
"I found the Essence Pearl. I wanted to tell the Osaka government about it, but I was intercepted by General Takagi. He wanted to keep the Essence Pearl for himself, so he put me under house arrest. I refused to say anything, so he imprisoned me here …" The voice inside was very weak. It seemed that the torture was not light.
"Let's not talk about this for now. How can I save you? I can't just watch you die in there," interrupted Mochizuki Chihaya.
The two of them chatted for a long time, and Mofan purposely inserted a few hidden needles into each of the guards.
"Is there no way to open the Nightmare Space?" Mofan asked.
Mochizuki Chihaya shook her head with a blank expression. It was obvious that she had suffered a great blow after hearing Iwata's description.
"What's going on?" asked Mofan.
"Apart from a dark formation, the East Guard Pavilion also has a huge Curse. The Curse will slowly draw out the soul energy of the people imprisoned here. I initially thought it was the effect of the Curse Formation, but not only did it draw out the soul energy of the prisoners, it even gathered them into an orb … "said Mochizuki Chihaya.
"An orb that has gathered the soul energy of all the demon creatures? I'm afraid it's a piece of treasure! "said Mofan.
"Yeah, that asshole Takagi is willing to do such a thing just to help his Sky Ridge Beast evolve into a Ruler-level creature … as the leader of the military of the West Guard Pavilion, he's willing to harm people for his own benefits. How despicable!" snapped Mochizuki Chihaya furiously.
"It's able to help a Summoned Beast evolve into a Ruler-level creature. Even someone with a little bit of selfishness would be willing to do such a thing. That General Takagi must be feeling frustrated because he didn't get what he wanted. He must want to be in a higher position than anyone else. Perhaps he's already tired of being the warden of this prison. Who would have thought that such a treasure exists in this prison? He would definitely try his best to take it," analyzed Mofan.
It was normal for greedy people to exist, but it was even scarier for someone in a high position!
"Let's take the Essence Orb with us. Otherwise, General Takagi is going to kill my brother if he finds it," said Mochizuki Chihaya.
"Mm, mm, you're right. Why don't you let me take care of such an evil thing? Otherwise, it won't be good if the Shuangshou Pavilion ends up in a bloodbath," said Mofan.
Judging from Mochizuki Chihaya's description, the Essence Orb was obviously a kind of orb that could mold a Summoned Beast's soul. It was very effective on Summoned Beasts. Mo Fou knew that molding a Summoned Beast's soul was the most important part of leveling up. Only by molding a stronger soul would the Summoned Beast be able to break through the limits of its body and evolve into a stronger creature.
As a matter of fact, Mofan was interested in the orb too. His Swift Star Wolf's cultivation had not improved yet. It was most likely because its soul's rank was too low. If he could mold a stronger soul, his Swift Star Wolf might have a chance to evolve to a higher level.
An orb that could help a Commander-level creature evolve into a Ruler-level creature during the Advancing Period. It was reasonable for the Warrior-level Swift Star Wolf to evolve into a Commander-level creature, right?
"You better not think about it," Mochizuki Chihaya's eyes turned cold.
"Hehe, I was just saying," Mofan shrugged.
…
According to Iwata's instructions, Mofan and Mochizuki Chihaya headed to the bottom of the East Guardian Tower. It seemed like the Essence Orb was hidden at the bottom of the castle. Since the layout of the castle was extremely complicated, they would not be able to reach the formation that was absorbing the souls of the prisoners without proper guidance.
Luckily, Iwata had already told Mochizuki Chihaya the path and the dark maze to be careful of. Mofan and Mochizuki Chihaya arrived at the place Iwata mentioned without any trouble.
There were no guards here. It was most likely that Iwata, the guardian of the East Guardian Tower, had accidentally stumbled into the place and discovered the Essence Orb.
Iwata was an honest man. He should have just kept the orb for himself, yet he insisted on writing a report about it. In the end, someone with bad intentions saw it and ended up in such a disaster. If Mofan was in his shoes, he would have taken it out himself. If he could not use it, he would have sold it anyway!
The formation was an inconspicuous room surrounded by walls. There was only a small gap at the top that they could jump into.
There was nothing inside the room. It looked no different from a run-down basement. However, a cloudy, evil-looking orb was floating in the middle of the room.
In Mofan's eyes, the orb was not cute at all. It looked like an eyeball floating in the air. It was quite scary at first glance.
