The image of Shroud was manifested in the void of space.
Reneedol glanced at Shroud's image, then looked around.
Only to see that the entire World of Laws was filled with mortals.
These mortals had all been brought into the World of Laws from every corner of the world.
They had all formed covenants with the Law Behemoths and were able to use the power of Laws.
A few moments later.
All of a sudden, countless Law Behemoths roared at the same time, declaring to the mortals:
「 We have sealed off the space 」
「 From now on, no one is allowed to teleport or fly, until this remnant of Radiance is found! 」
With that, the World of Laws slowly disappeared from the mortals' eyes.
Atley and Reneedol returned to Reality, still on the horse carriage.
"Atley, what do you think?" Reneedol asked.
— — kill Shroud!
Aside from the Overlord of Death, all the other Overlords had declared this at the same time.
"Kill … Shroud? Isn't he about to die? Could it be … "
Atley stuttered, as if he couldn't face it.
He turned to Reneedol and was shocked.
Despite how beautiful Reneedol was, her current expression was still terrifying enough to make anyone's heart skip a beat.
"Atley, what do you think these Law Behemoths are trying to do?" Reneedol asked.
Atley blankly replied: "They want to kill Shroud"
Reneedol said in irritation: "The Law Behemoths are clearly so powerful, why don't they kill them themselves instead of borrowing the hands of mortals to kill Shroud?"
Atley thought for a bit, then shook his head: "I'm not sure either"
A hint of disdain flashed through Reneedol's eyes, but she still smiled and said: "I'm guessing that Shroud has something that prevents these Law Behemoths from finding him"
Atley nodded: "That's right, they just said that Shroud has countless treasures on him"
Reneedol fell silent.
Atley thought for a bit, then excitedly said: "Shroud is definitely still in that cave, even if he left, he shouldn't have gone too far, how about we chase after him — –"
Reneedol didn't say anything and suddenly reached her hand out.
There was nothing in his hand.
"How regretful, I remember that Red Wraith had an ability that allowed him to find the target of his thoughts, but to save Shroud, I had no choice but to give up Red Wraith's ability …"
Reneedol muttered to herself.
She carefully recalled what had happened recently, and her heart was filled with endless annoyance.
Damn it.
Why was he so impatient?
On one matter, he changed his attitude too quickly, so much so that he neglected the trajectory of fate.
For someone like Shroud, even if he was on the brink of death, he would still be able to escape and rise from the ashes.
Otherwise, why would he be called the leader of the new generation in the World Valley?
The next time he encountered something, he couldn't be so indecisive.
Reneedol closed her eyes, and a figure appeared in her mind.
Red Wraith.
Although this person was an enemy, he was always calm when it came to facing enemies and adapting to changes.
He was like the calmest hunter. Even when she used that ability and was about to eat him, he still calmly called himself the seventh best swordsman in the world, successfully making her hesitate.
Reneedol clenched her fists.
Why can't I face the same problem as him?
"A truly powerful person … would never be an indecisive opportunist" Reneedol muttered to herself.
Her gaze became a bit more forceful.
"Ah, Reneedol, what do we do now?" Atley asked.
Reneedol turned to look at Atley.
— — -there were many people who could form covenants with Law Behemoths.
Then what about Atley?
He wasn't as talented as Shroud, in fact, he wasn't even as talented as Rhode.
Although the Law of Death was detestable, when everyone was fleeing, Rhode was at least brave enough to stay behind and cover everyone's retreat.
Reneedol sighed, picked up the cup of tea on the table, and took a sip.
I can't continue like this.
From now on, I need to think carefully before making any decisions.
After silently thinking for a while, Reneedol suddenly turned to Atley.
"Atley, do you think we'll be able to catch up to Shroud's group if we return now?" she asked.
"Shroud is still injured, so even if they left the cave, they wouldn't be able to go too far. Our horse carriage has the support of Wind Breath, so it should be no problem at all" Atley replied.
"Atley" Reneedol smiled and asked: "For my sake, would you dare to act against Shroud?"
Even though he had already prepared himself, Atley was still trembling in fear.
"I …"
As soon as he uttered a single word, Reneedol had already reached her hand out and lightly stroked his face.
Reneedol gently told him: "Tell me after you've thought it through. Remember, you only have one chance"
Atley's mouth went dry, his throat trembled a bit, feeling that his hesitation had already been tossed to the back of his mind.
"What do you want to do?" he heard himself asking.
Reneedol smiled in satisfaction.
"In truth, it's very simple …"
…
Halfway up the mountain.
Gu Qing Shan's group of four was moving forward.
They really weren't moving very quickly.
The formation behemoths had banded together to seal off Space.
Their combined power was too great, so Gu Qing Shan couldn't use any spatial or movement techniques, nor could she teleport or fly.
Shroud was injured.
Every fifteen minutes, Epta would stop and heal him accordingly.
Scarlet had formed a covenant with the Overlord of Death, but she was already drunk to the point where she was in a deep slumber.
Fortunately, she had the Radiant pendant in hand.
The power of [Hidden Light] was activated to envelop a radius of 100 meters, making it impossible for any tracking technique to find them.
"How do you feel?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Shroud sensed it and replied: "There is a certain artifact in the Book of Prophesized Destinies that's specifically used for healing, but I can't take it out right now"
"Didn't you take out a pendant?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"It's different, this artifact requires a lot more Radiant power to be taken out"
"Then — –"
Shroud smiled and said: "My power has recovered a bit, as long as Epta heals me one more time, I feel like I'll be able to take that artifact out"
Gu Qing Shan immediately said: "Epta, let's rest here, give Shroud another round of healing"
"Got it!" Epta replied.
They stopped at the lee of a large rock.
Gu Qing Shan carefully placed Shroud on the ground and had him lean against the rock.
Epta also placed Scarlet down and began to heal Shroud.
Gu Qing Shan was in charge of keeping watch.
He was paying close attention to the slightest movement around him while feeling a bit anxious.
This place wasn't too far away from the cave they were resting in before, so they shouldn't be staying here for too long.
But if Shroud isn't healed, everyone won't be able to move at all.
— — hopefully, nothing will happen.
Time became extremely long.
After an unknown amount of time.
Shroud opened his eyes, first looked at Epta, then at Gu Qing Shan.
"I've troubled you during this period of time"
Saying so, he opened the Book of Prophesized Destinies and took out a sphere that gave off a warm white light.
"Radiance, heal my wounds, I am your companion"
Shroud muttered in a low voice.
The sphere abruptly gave off an intense light that shot straight to the sky.
"This is a bit too eye-catching, we'll have to leave right away" Gu Qing Shan scowled.
Before she finished, the light that shot up to the sky had drawn the light of the entire sky.
This sea of light poured down from above, completely enveloping Shroud's body.
"Ugh — — -"
Shroud moaned in pain.
He laid on the ground with both eyes closed.
Immense power erupted from his body — — -
Who would've thought, after this heavy wound, his strength had improved yet again!
"Give me a bit more time, I need to deal with some of my internal injuries as well" Shroud closed his eyes and said.
All of a sudden, he retracted all of his power.
Gu Qing Shan and Epta silently waited.
"Hm? What's going on? "
Scarlet rubbed her eyes and sat up.
She was woken up by the commotion earlier, so she had an uncomfortable expression on her face.
"Shroud is finally going to recover"
Epta hugged her and happily told her.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly turned to look down the mountain.
Only to see a horse carriage appearing at the foot of the mountain, quickly making its way up.
"Shroud caused too much commotion just now, someone still noticed us!" Epta said.
"You guard Shroud and Scarlet, I'll repel them" Gu Qing Shan said.
He was ready to fight.
At this point, Scarlet staggered to her feet and leaned on Gu Qing Shan's shoulder: "Count me in if you want to fight!"
"Can you?" Gu Qing Shan glanced at her.
"Ask Epta, the power of Death I obtained isn't any weaker than yours" Scarlet replied.
Gu Qing Shan turned to Epta.
Epta nodded.
"Alright, let's go together" Gu Qing Shan was glad.
— — finally, we have a helper.
"Hm" Scarlet resolutely nodded.
Soon enough, the horse carriage approached them.
The carriage stopped at a safe distance.
The carriage door opened.
Atley stepped out.
"Atley …" Gu Qing Shan muttered in a low voice.
"Hello, Rhode"
Atley's gaze went past Gu Qing Shan and fell onto Shroud.
Shroud was lying on the ground, completely lifeless and motionless.
"He's not dead yet?" Atley asked.
Scarlet couldn't help but shout: "Bastard Atley, he's Shroud, your friend, what kind of tone is that!?"
Boom!
Black flames erupted from her body.
A black bird landed on her shoulder, staring straight at Atley.
"If you use that tone to talk to us again, I'm going to kill you!" Scarlet declared full of killing intent.
The black bird flew into the sky, then abruptly turned into a several-hundred-meter-long giant bird of death that soared through the air.
Atlee jumped in fright.
This level of power wasn't something normal Laws could compare to.
"You … you also formed a covenant with the Overlord of Death" he stammered.
Scarlet stood in the flames and pridefully declared: "Hmph! Are you saying that only you and the Law of Wind are allowed to — — "
She abruptly stopped, crouched down on the ground, and opened her mouth wide.
Atley took a step back, assumed a cautious stance, and shouted: "What are you trying to do!?"
"Blargh — —"
Scarlet vomited.
She vomited for a long while, to the point where tears were already flowing out.
Atley froze.
— — what's going on?
He couldn't understand the current situation.
Gu Qing Shan helplessly crouched down and patted Scarlet's back: "How much did you drink?"
Scarlet breathed heavily and replied: "Two bottles"
Gu Qing Shan then asked: "How much could you normally drink?"
"I've never drunk alcohol before, I've always been drinking fruit juice" Scarlet honestly replied.
Gu Qing Shan was speechless.
He picked up Scarlet, placed her next to Epta, then returned to Atley.
"You want to kill Shroud?"
Gu Qing Shan coldly asked.
