831 The Towers

Chad's blade hummed with the Dragon's Aura being manifested and clashed with the Golem's fist!

Boom!

Although they had a vast difference in size, Chad's strength was already comparable to that of a young dragon. He was completely unafraid to face this Golem, especially after being trained by Orden and Ryzoir for years while also sparring with the True Immortals plenty of times.

Seeing this, Odessa couldn't help but praise the half-dragon.

"That's impressive, Chad… However, we are in a hurry. We don't know what kind of danger awaits us in the Prison Towers, so let me help you. You need to preserve your strength."

Odessa, the previous Royal Mage, was known as a Mystic Arts Practitioner, but she also practices Holy Arts and Rune Arts…

Carefully, she accessed her Spell Models… She used dual casting and unleashed a couple of binding spells, disrupting Golem's movements and making its feet unbalanced to drop it on the ground!

With this opportunity, Chad's fist suddenly transformed and there were already scales on his right hand!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Chad targeted the Golem's head where he thought its core was located!

Boom!

With his fifth strike, the Golem's head finally exploded… The explosion surprised even Chad as he jumped back to avoid the blast.

At this time, the True Immortal spoke.

"It's not over yet… It seems to be a defense mechanism where it detonates a part of its body to destroy anyone clinging to it… Look, it's starting to stand to continue the fight…" Aurion explained as he prepared to finish this battle.

This time, Aurion decided to use one of his most powerful Celestial Arts to ensure the destruction of the Golem's core…

"Wait…" Vale's Avatar immediately held Aurion shoulders as he was able to tell what kind of Celestial Arts he was about to use.

Destroying the Golem would be a complete waste of resources and if they didn't find what they were looking for in this realm, it would be a bit too regretful if they passed this up.

"I'm sure that Denise would be happy to obtain the core of the Golem instead. Let me take it instead." The Avatar said as he raised his hand and opened his palm as if he was asking the Golem to hand over its core.

Chad found it funny but he decided to keep silent and waited for the Shadow Immortal's next move.

To his surprise, however, the Avatar was actually serious with this gesture as he spoke…

"Traceless Shift…"

Just like that, the golem's burning red eyes dissipated as the golem's structure started crumbling…

Then, Vale's previous empty hand was now holding a core that was the size of a human head!

Odessa's eyes widened after seeing this.

From the flow of energy that she just saw, the spell that Vale used was somehow similar to a popular spell called Pickpocket.

It was a Spell commonly used by failures of the Mystic Arts Practitioners. However, this Spell would only normally work if it was used on ordinary people… Aside from that, it could also be used if the Spell Mastery was high and it could work on Arcanists, especially those who hadn't entered their special state yet when the Spell was triggered.

"You can do that?" She couldn't help but exclaim.

Chad also turned his attention back to Vale's hands and realized that he had truly stolen the core without leaving his spot.

"Can you do that in our body organs too? I mean… Can you steal or shift our hearts or kidney into your hands if you want to?" Chad asked curiously.

At this question, Vale's Avatar could no longer restrain his laugh…

"Haha… That's an amusing question, Chad. However, you were right… I haven't tried it yet. If there's a target later, I will try shifting their organs. I should be able to sense it as long as they infused their internal organs with magic to enhance them." The Avatar replied as if he was excited to try it.

On the other hand, Chad suddenly felt conflicted as he pitied Vale's target next time. After all, even if it failed, he knew that the target of such a spell would feel incredible pain for getting their internal organs shaken.

After this, Vale and his companions pressed forward into the domain of the 16 Prison Towers. Because of the Guardian Golem, their senses remained sharp, and their weapons were ready, wary of any potential threats that lurked within the shadows.

Approaching the nearest Tower with caution, they saw a metal door adorned with a cryptic sign that read "Darkness" in the ancient tongues of Oardic or the Spirit Language.

Seeing this, everyone already felt that they knew what was going on...

They decided not to enter this Tower yet and continued to check each of them.

Soon, they realized that their intuition was right all along.

Soon, they found the Mystic Tower to the sanctified aura of the Holy Tower, from the elemental forces of the Elemental Tower to the ancient wisdom of the Runes Tower, each was indeed representing each Arcane Path without a doubt.

They soon discovered the Towers representing the other Arcane Paths. The Beast, Summoner, Knights, Martials, Alchemy, Transformation, and Psychic Arts!

Soon, they all looked at the final four Towers that awaited them. They were curious to see what they were.

However, it wasn't easy. It was at this moment that a few figures emerged to block them!

Before they could take another step forward, a sudden disturbance in the air stopped them…

They felt that they were dangerous and had to be cautious. They were figures cloaked in shadows and emanating an aura of darkness that chilled the very essence of their souls.

"Hmmm?"

As Vale's keen gaze fell on these figures, a sense of recognition stirred within him, for he knew these shadowy figures all too well!

They were none other than the Shadow Sentinels! As a Shadow Immortal, there was no way he wouldn't recognize these entities!

"What are they doing here in the Celestial Prison Realm?" Vale muttered to himself.

The appearance of these shadowy beings confused Vale a lot since they shouldn't be here in the first place…

For now, Vale could only think that these were actually prisoners of the Celestial Beings, but they somehow managed to escape!
