Chapter 856 Tracking Down The Candidates

"Is Nostic not done yet?" Saresha asked as she tapped the table impatiently. They already saw the party coming with one of their scouts, which was killed instantly, and understood that a fight will break out soon. Without Nostic around, there was no point fighting them since the chances of victory are null.

"Be patient, can’t you sense his growing power? Just wait a little longer." Wyslia shook her head.

"All we’ve been doing is sensing his growth. Can’t you tell us something else?" Quinrad asked with a glare.

"There is nothing else for me to say other than reaching tier 6 is not easy. All we can do is wait for Nostic to reach that tier and hope that he can occupy the white haired girl long enough for us to seal her away." Wyslia shook her head as she could understand why they would be anxious. Their lives are on the line after all.

"Asphil has joined their side too. I suppose the chances of having our plans leaked is rather high." Fellia sighed.

"Indeed. She could be expecting the use of the artefacts to seal her away along with the fact that we’re going to isolate them. For them to continue, it could be that they’re not afraid of single combat." Wyslia looked down and sighed.

However, just as she sighed, they felt an explosion of mana which dwarfed their power easily.

Widening their eyes, they quickly looked over and saw Nostic walking over with a neutral expression while glancing at his fist.

"Mn, tier 6 is indeed different but I don’t think this is enough." Nostic said as he looked up at the candidates.

"I may have reached tier 6 but the chances of me coming out victorious are less than 10%. Have you retrieved the sealing artefact yet?" He asked as they glanced towards Saresha since she was the one responsible for getting the sealing artefact.

"We’re just one or two steps away from getting it. If we can delay them a bit longer, we’ll be able to claim the artefact." Saresha replied as Nostic furrowed her brows.

"Hm... That’s too long. I’ll go get it myself." Nostic said as he made his way out of the castle.

"Is there anything else we should do during this?" Wyslia asked.

Thinking about it for a moment, Nostic glanced back at the candidates.

"Get everyone to follow me. There’s no point in waiting in one spot. We’ll move towards the artefact location and fight them where it is beneficial for us. If I remember correctly, there should be rather large forest with the demonic trees near the artefact. We’ll use that to our advantage." Nostic said as Wyslia furrowed her brows.

"But we don’t know how to use the demonic trees. They’ll attack us as well." Wyslia replied as Nostic didn’t say anything and glanced towards Prisaya, the second ranked candidate.

"Why are you looking at me?" Prisaya smiled.

"You have a way to control them don’t you?" Nostic asked as his eyes seemed to look past her façade.

While it may sound like a question, Prisaya knew that it was basically announcing that she could and not asking for her confirmation.

"Tch, fine I can. My family has found a way to use them not too long ago." She clicked her tongue as Nostic nodded his head.

"We’ll have Prisaya control the tree’s so that they don’t turn on us."

"Just be warned though, our control over the tree’s aren’t amazing just yet. If you hit them, they will disregard our instructions so you have to be careful. You can still use them as jumping platforms or something like that but if you damage them, you will be classed as an enemy for them." Prisaya warned.

"I see... that’s fine. We’ll just have to create our own platforms which shouldn’t be too hard now should it?" Nostic asked as the candidates nodded his head.

Leaving the castle, he looked back.

"Is there something you missed?" Wyslia asked as Nostic stayed silent for a moment before opening his mouth.

"We’ll make this place a trap to delay them further."

Slamming his hand down, a giant tier 6 magic circle expanded out as the castle disintegrated in an instant before being reconstructed by a strange black mass.

Activating a few other tier 6 magic circles, he nodded his head and left without looking back.
