“You aren’t her real Holy Saint, so you don’t have to listen to her words at all. As you can see, my sister had, in fact, no regard for you at all. You’re just a pawn. She planned to sacrifice your lives to fulfill her d*mn vocation.”
“Everything she said is false. She’s a drama queen through and through. It’s not too late for you guys to stop, lest the spell formation will drain your flesh, blood, and soul dry.”
“I can help you to get out of her control temporarily and open a passage to leave…”
Artemis’ words shocked Alex and Donovan deeply. With the effects of the scepter and the golden shield, they did feel the Chi on their bodies constantly flowing away.
The Chi was flowing away at this moment, but wouldn’t that be equivalent to the loss of their lives after the Chi was gone?
Nobody wanted to die!
“Don’t worry,” said Athena. “You guys will be fine. Just hang in there.”
She increased the output.
Artemis activated the mystic art. After all, she was Athena’s little sister, so she wasn’t weak by any standard. Even if she had been tricked and was trapped inside Rashomon, she still had her trump card. She spat out a beam of blue light from her mouth, a magical treasure.
It instantly self destructed, shaking the space and blowing up a spatial hole out of it.
Pitch-black, nobody knew where it led to.
The explosion even disabled the confinement spell on Alex and Donovan temporarily.
“Go!” Artemis yelled.
The next second, the golden light on Athena glowed again, enveloping Alex and Donovan.
Swoosh!
Donovan jumped into it.
Alex was a bit slower because he was a little scared of the densely packed Abyssal Demon Bugs on Artemis. Subconsciously, he thought that there were serious consequences if he gave up helping Athena after listening to Artemis’ words.
However, the kind of battle before his eyes was not something a weakling like him could join. He still wanted to stay alive.
Artemis was infuriated. If gazes could kill people, Alex would have died countless times.
She and Alex glared at each other. Now, the furnace of forbidden spells that the ninety nine golden cores had formed in his body spun wildly. He said with a smile, “I said, you’re someone else’s lap dog. Woof, woof, woof! How about it? Come out and bite me if you think you can!”
Having said that, he said to Athena, “Mask, tell me what do you want to do. I’ll cooperate with you fully and make sure to kill this traitor of mankind.”
Athena said, “I’m not going to kill her. Artemis is my little sister. I just wanted to help her get purified.”
“Umm…”
Artemis burst into laughter. “Mortal brat, did you hear that? You can’t kill me. You won’t have a chance either. Wait for me to kill you! I can still kill you even if I have been purified.”
Alex scratched his head and said with a sigh , “Does that mean there’s no room for negotiation? You both sisters joined forces to trick an honest man like me.”
Having said that, he suddenly threw the scepter to the ground with a clang. He had regained his freedom completely.
