One-Eyed Monster

Boom!

A massive sound erupted from the direction of the alchemy workshop’s experiment site, indicating that significant commotion was underway there.

The Golden Seats of the alchemy workshop were all extremely tense at this moment, as that experiment site housed the chief’s most crucial resources!

If anything were to happen to that experiment site, they would have no way to explain to the chief! This was truly a very tricky situation. The Golden Seats of the alchemy workshop were being delayed by the Kangen Family, not knowing why they were causing such chaos here. But these lunatics were risking it all, preventing them from splitting their attention.

However, the noise just now distracted everyone, and the people from the Kangen Family also turned their heads toward the source of the noise.

Everyone’s heart tightened because of the commotion in that place...

It was only then that the leaders of the alchemy workshop realized that the Kangen Family was deliberately stalling them; their real target was the experiment site.

But they couldn’t figure out who had invaded the experiment site, considering that the Kangen Family’s main force was present here.

If it weren’t for the Kangen Family’s main force, the Golden Seats wouldn’t have been delayed here for so long.

The situation was complex; the large explosion at the experiment site indicated it had been breached, and the alchemy workshop knew there was no one guarding it, just the alchemy array.

Since there was such a significant commotion, it indicated that the alchemy array had already been broken by someone...

The question then arose: what had truly happened to cause such a commotion?

Did the invaders destroy the experiment site, or did someone arrive there and engage in a battle with the invaders? If someone did go, who was it? Could it be the chief?

The Golden Seats obviously had a clear understanding of their personnel, and very few from the alchemy workshop could reach that experiment site. The alchemy array was no mere decoration. Causing such a commotion was beyond the capabilities of ordinary people.

Both the Golden Seats of the alchemy workshop and the Kangen Family’s elites were now drawn to this noise, even slowing their pace and starting to calculate their next move in their minds.

The Golden Seats exchanged glances and then unanimously sprinted toward the experiment site, their concern for the events unfolding there overwhelming. During the Kangen Family’s moment of hesitation, they had to break free from their opponents to freely reach the experiment site.

As the alchemy workshop made their move, the Kangen Family followed suit. They were not ones to be easily shaken off. Now, it was like the alchemy workshop and the Kangen Family were connected by a string: slow when slow, fast when fast.

This gave the Golden Seats a headache, as these Wizards were too persistent, making it nearly impossible to shake them off. If this continued, wouldn’t the experiment site become even more dangerous!

As they were perplexed, another boom echoed from the experiment site, indicating another disturbance had occurred.

This was truly unbelievable, how could this keep happening!

Was there really a battle occurring there? If so, who was there!

The Golden Seats of the alchemy workshop were full of doubt, while the Kangen Family had an inkling. They knew for sure that it was Igor and Kadi who caused the disturbance there, so under no circumstances could they allow the Golden Seats to go reinforce. At the same time, the Kangen Family thought it was time to send reinforcements to Igor...

The second explosion made the alchemy workshop more urgent, yet further excited the Kangen Family.

This emotional contrast directly reflected in their actions. The alchemy workshop’s Golden Seats, driven by urgency and anxiety, faltered in many actions. This chaotic rhythm directly led to disadvantages in engagements, as the Kangen Family’s Wizards completely threw the Golden Seats off balance.

No one could comprehend what was happening there, but they all knew they couldn’t retreat. This stalemate turned the sky above the entire alchemy workshop ominously dark.

Meanwhile, Igor had already emerged from the experiment site carrying Xiso...

Igor, being at the scene of the experiment site, felt the commotion there. He knew Kadi was buying them time, and he couldn’t waste Kadi’s efforts.

Upon emerging, he immediately connected with the plants—Princess Juliette’s plants—remembering the rhythm of spirit power on those plants, and quickly established contact.

Connecting with these plants equaled connecting with Princess Juliette.

The plants quickly provided cover for Igor and Xiso. This hidden spirit power allowed Igor, carrying Xiso, to head toward Princess Juliette’s garden.

He couldn’t waste time. Each step reminded him of Kadi, but he knew he could only live up to Kadi by safely getting Xiso out!

The plants transmitted the information swiftly, and Princess Juliette soon learned that Xiso had been rescued.

Princess Juliette then informed her brother Charles, and this information made Charles change his plans. He immediately used the special method of the Dark Cabinet to notify two Hunters to protect Igor.

Xiso was a strategist, and his return greatly aided the entire plan...

Of course, this news naturally reached the Kangen Family members, despite their fierce battle with the alchemy workshop.

The plants, through their distinctive method, conveyed this information, a secret tactic of Princess Juliette, which she had saved for such a critical moment.

The whole process was secretive, and no one knew what had happened. But when the news reached the ears of the Kangen Family, they naturally became very excited.

Will Kangen decisively issued a retreat order, and once communicated, the Kangen Family, who had held the advantage, suddenly withdrew.

They were in a state of extreme tension while facing off with the alchemy workshop, and now, that taut nerve could finally relax a little.

The retreat was swift, as the Kangen Family consisted of well-trained soldiers accustomed to battlefield retreats.

This scene left the alchemy workshop bewildered. Seeing these people withdraw, they were puzzled. However, they realized their priority lay not here, as the matters at the experiment site were more pressing.

In the face of the Kangen Family’s mass withdrawal, the alchemy workshop paid little heed and quickly turned around, rushing toward the echoing experiment site... Moreover, they lacked the energy to stop the Kangen Family’s retreat...
