Chapter 271: Chapter 261 Emergency Handling
Karl was very clear about one thing.
The black fog still existed in the Spirit Realm, and the connection that communicated between two places couldn't be permanently severed; it wouldn't be long before Colin and Inna would return to their original position.
Although it was an ability to teleport, there was a time limit.
Karl also knew that the family's secrets couldn't be allowed to leak out, and that he absolutely had to resolve the issue with "Mr. Brandy" once and for all.
Thus, in a rare act, he directly bestowed a divine oracle upon Byrne.
In fact, over the years, Karl had seldom given divine oracles to the mainstay of the family, Byrne, mainly bestowing them upon the Priest.
By doing so, he wouldn't make Byrne feel overly favored, fostering a desire to control both secular and divine powers at the same time.
The content of that divine oracle was precisely his request to Byrne on how to handle the matter.
At this very moment, Byrne and Chris had already left White Bones Canyon!
——
Mr. Brandy and the others walked out one after the other from Colonel Abel's shadow.
Still in fear, he took a deep breath, feeling very confused deep inside.
What was going on?
Was the sudden disappearance of those two people a divine intervention?
Was the Fischer family actually the main family of the Lost Cult?
The legendary Lost Cult was an exceedingly formidable and strong secretive organization; they had even sacrificed a town in Cyart and effortlessly killed a bishop of the Salvation Church who had come to pursue them.
The leader of the Lost Cult was even speculated to be a top-tier power exponent of high-level Monarch status.
Why had the Fischer family always seemed so low-key on the surface? Appearing so inconspicuous?
Mr. Brandy suddenly had an epiphany!
It was a disguise!
He had fully realized what was going on.
It was definitely a disguise!
Mr. Brandy still appeared calm on the surface, but deep inside he was completely terrified, feeling that he must leave Fein City as quickly as possible after knowing his enemy was possibly a top-tier strong presence of high-level Monarch status!
He took a deep breath, and the paper he held revealed squirming text, shown to the surrounding followers of Words of Tranquility.
"Cease all actions, we must withdraw from Fein City immediately!"
"I will describe this incident to the 'Silver Poet.' Although Cyart is a small country, I believe that neither I nor the 'Silver Poet' are likely to be a match for the secretive Lost Cult."
"Next, we must inform the leader who is in the Seven Stars Empire of all the circumstances."
Afterward, they hid in Colonel Abel's shadow, and Mr. Brandy, controlling Colonel Abel who had become a puppet, swiftly fled Fein City.
After the few people from Words of Tranquility left, suddenly, Colin and Inna left Nasir Town in horror and reappeared back in the same spot from just before.
"The great Lord of the Lost has saved us!"
Inna's face was covered in tears, she hugged Colin with uncontrollable excitement, then she came back to her senses.
She decided to take her son and leave her home for the time being, planning to return once the situation became safe.
Colin stood there, dumbfounded, experiencing everything.
Within him surged immense excitement, a feeling of gratitude and reverence like none before!
Great Lord of the Lost.
Thank you for saving me and Inna.
Perhaps, deep inside my heart, all this is still a transaction.
But what I will trade you is, my eternal loyalty!
Just a few dozen minutes later, "Mr. Brandy" at the edge of Fein City halted Colonel Abel's footsteps; he suddenly felt a very strong presence approaching.
What's happening?
Who is it?
Hiding in the shadow, he took a deep breath, warily focusing on the distance.
The space in the shadow wasn't big, about the size of a dining room, colored a gloomy grey, "Mr. Brandy" peered out coldly using Colonel Abel's vision.
A strong presence was drawing closer.
He could feel it.
Several kilometers outside of Fein City, Byrne, Chris, Aldrich, Zayne, and Marzo, who had just escaped from entrapment a few days ago, were on their way to Fein City.
Apart from Marzo, who wandered aimlessly, the rest could be considered as members of the upper echelons of Cyart society, yet at that moment, they appeared quite destitute.
Aside from Aldrich who still maintained basic cleanliness, the clothes of the other three were full of dust, for they had been too excited to control themselves since their escape, and the thought of cleaning their clothes or bodies had not crossed their minds.
Byrne took a deep breath, pondering, and realized the direction the other party had fled was this way. His pathfinding was not mistaken.
Soon, that person would encounter them, and it was crucial to ensure their swift demise.
Shut them up!
There had been more than one occasion when someone had found the Fischer family odd, and among them, a very small number had the chance to speculate about, or even discover, their secrets.
However, Byrne and his people always managed to deal with these situations in time.
After receiving the divine prophecy, he was very clear that he could not let the followers of the Words of Tranquility survive or speak!
So Byrne led a group of people into Fein City from this side.
Sure enough, when they were a few kilometers from the city, Zayne detected the traces of the followers of the Words of Tranquility through the moisture in the air!
More precisely, he sensed the anomaly of Colonel Abel, whose body was filled with strange, mysterious mercury.
His expression suddenly became grave.
"Everyone be alert, I've sensed the enemy, and that person has taken control of Colonel Abel. Yes, I will raise the barrier around Fein City immediately."
He muttered to himself, beginning the incantation to activate the barrier, and before long the big barrier surrounding Fein City had risen and unfolded.
"Indeed, I've discovered it as well."
Aldrich nodded lightly and calmly said, "Don't worry, as long as we're both here, there's no chance for the other side to escape."
In the next moment, a transparent water droplet emerged in the palm of Zayne's hand.
With his palm facing downward, the transparent droplet slowly hovered mid-air.
"Go!"
It shone like a pearl, radiating a faint light.
Almost instantaneously, the transparent water droplet shot through the canyon formed by trees and chaotic houses, crossing several kilometers in the blink of an eye.
"Boom!"
One of Colonel Abel's arms was shattered, and he stared ahead in horror.
The droplet of water shifted direction, plunging straight towards the shadow, and the followers and priests of the Words of Tranquility suddenly surged out from his shadow!
Mr. Brandy, hovering mid-air, held his top hat down with one hand, his demeanor serious.
The surrounding citizens were all stunned, watching the scene in disbelief and amazement, unable to comprehend what was happening.
Mr. Brandy, composed and calm, quickly issued commands through the squirming script on a piece of paper.
"We can't wait for the barrier to be fully deployed, escape now! Let's scatter and flee!"
However, just as the followers of the Words of Tranquility were about to flee, streams of water had already fallen from the sky, raining down on everything around them like numerous droplets.
Then, these droplets became more numerous, turning into a torrential downpour!
In an instant, the vast quantities of rainwater came together to form a massive water sphere, engulfing everyone present and then spitting the ordinary citizens back out.
Mr. Brandy could feel that the true body of the suddenly emerged powerful Monarch expert was hidden within those liquids, but for the moment was unable to pin him down and capture him.
Humph.
His expression grew more solemn.
Although both used methods of transforming and hiding their bodies, the Night Watcher's 3rd Squad Leader would not constantly change his position, while Zayne's figure continuously shifted within the water!
The followers of the Words of Tranquility began to show tormented expressions, feeling their life force and spiritual power continuously drawn away by the water, struggling with all their might.
Mr. Brandy remained silent, merely igniting flames the color of watermark on his body, creating a barrier against the surrounding liquid, keeping it at bay.
Following that, he opened his palm and released five Extraordinary Exponents, including Colonel Abel and the 3rd Squad Leader of the Night Watcher, all controlled by his Mercury Flow.
Among these Exponents, one had the power of Bloodline of thunder, while another could solidify liquid into ice; they quickly took action, affecting the surrounding liquid.
Thunder conducted rapidly, water froze into ice, and Zayne, who had become part of the liquid, was immediately subjected to a fierce electric jolt, causing slight paralysis, and then he was frozen by the Extraordinary power.
"…"
Mr. Brandy, with a look of disdain, reached out to end Zayne, but suddenly found the frozen Zayne shattered and once again liquefied.
Indeed, he had failed to trap him!
And right at that moment, he abruptly lifted his head!
An elegant man descended from the heavens and plunged into the water, reaching out to forcefully press down on Mr. Brandy's head, pressing him straight down from the water into the deep ground!
"Boom!"
With a mighty roar, the ground fractured wildly, and Aldrich inside the giant water sphere calmly watched as the heretic Monarch beneath him was unable to move.
Mr. Brandy, trembling, saw that the barrier around Fein City had been completely deployed and realized the direness of the situation. He was finally compelled to activate his most treasured Forbidden rare artifact!
