Warlock Apprentice

This is a spacious secret chamber, constructed entirely of silvery-white metal, located underground in the Infinite Battle Tower, also one of the most highly defended places in the Sky Mechanical City.

Muse used short-distance transmission to bring everyone here.

Muse began checking Rosen’s condition. During this period, Angel also learned from Antonio that the reason he couldn’t contact Antonio earlier was because he was forcefully breaking into the Creation Hall to awaken Dean Muse from seclusion.

Once it was confirmed that Rosen was temporarily out of danger, Muse let out a sigh of relief.

He looked at Antonio with a serious expression: ”Why was Rosen attacked, what exactly is happening here?”

Antonio did not answer immediately but quietly looked at Greya and the others in the distance.

Muse seemed to understand, clearly believing that in Antonio’s view, this matter was a secret not to be disclosed to outsiders.

Considering this, Muse decided to take out a specially made isolator to talk with Antonio separately.

However, before he could act, a snapping sound was heard, and Asaz, who was behind the group, disappeared.

Muse glanced at Sanders, sensing a fluctuation, indicating that Sanders must have stored Asaz in the Gravity Garden.

”Except for Horus, we all know about the Seed affair.” Sanders paused, looking at Horus: ”As for Horus, I believe he is qualified to know about this matter.”

Muse, still unclear about the specifics, left the decision to Antonio.

Antonio thought for a moment and then nodded: ”I also trust His Majesty, the Cold Winter King.”

Horus’s expression didn’t change as he silently waited for Antonio’s explanation, also curious about what happened and why Rosen encountered this attack.

”This matter starts with Mr. Pat.” Antonio used Angel’s search for Rosen as the starting point, explaining the whole incident, including Irene’s disappearance and Si Man’s abduction.

Greya and the others only knew about Irene’s disappearance and were hearing about Si Man’s abduction for the first time, listening carefully.

As for Horus, he frowned, not expecting this matter to involve a disordered Mysterious Object.

Having often traveled in the Outer Domain, Horus was familiar with some Mysterious Objects, so upon learning the innate nature of the ”Seed” Mysterious Object, he couldn’t help but feel surprised.

The disorderly Mysterious Object’s power and the vastness of its influence exceeded imagination. Most importantly, the key to activating the Seed’s disordered rhythm was so simple!

The Orderly Guild couldn’t recover the Seed, giving maniacs a chance to revel, spreading the ”key” throughout realms using the Seed as faith. The ignorant, believing it to be a Miracle, didn’t realize that what awaited after unlocking the key was perpetual, endless darkness.

After listening to the Seed believers’ introduction, Horus had one thought: the faith of the Seed must not spread to the Southern Domain!

Muse had similar thoughts, even more profound. Because Seed believers had already appeared in Yirong Country, causing the disappearance of dozens, eradicating the Seed faith was an urgent task!

”City Lord Rosen also intended to expel or eliminate Seed believers, so through a Prophecy, we found their hideout...”

Antonio detailed the process, specifically highlighting the threat related to an ”arrow” from the other side.

Muse frowned: ”So, the arrow that critically injured Rosen was likely the work of the Seed Sect?”

Everyone expressed agreement, as the threat concerning the arrow only came from the Seed believers.

Greya said: ”The arrow must have been shot from outside the Void, how did they precisely target City Lord Rosen without damaging other objects in the Material Realm?”

This was not only powerful but also very strange.

Everyone pondered this question when Angel suddenly said: ”I might have an idea.”

Angel’s words caught everyone’s attention: ”When I was checking City Lord Rosen’s condition earlier, I felt something vaguely familiar about the hall’s lighting.”

”Familiar?” Muse recalled the previous situation, though he was cautious of the light, he hadn’t sensed anything wrong. Perhaps it was because he hadn’t personally interacted with it?

”Yes, a very subtle residual aura.” Angel paused: ”And this aura carried a mysterious trait.”

Mysterious trait! Meaning that arrow might indeed be some kind of attacking Mysterious Object?

Everyone’s eyes showed realization, if it truly were a Mysterious Object, it was indeed possible. The eerie and terrifying nature of Mysterious Objects was known to all.

”I also believe it might be a Mysterious Object,” a metallic, indifferent voice echoed from behind.

The speaker was Rosen, who, after achieving energy balance, finally opened his eyes.

”When the arrow pierced my heart, I distinctly sensed a mysterious wave, and at that moment, I clearly realized I couldn’t resist. So, I relinquished control of my heart, channeling all energy to my head. Fortunately, the arrow shattered my body, but didn’t completely obliterate my head, sparing me from immediate death.”

”It truly is a Mysterious Object...” Muse frowned: ”That’s troubling.”

Everyone understood the trouble that Muse referred to.

The traits of a Mysterious Object are quite strange, nearly impossible to guard against.

The person using the ”arrow” to threaten Rosen, considering how easily he spoke of it, suggested the arrow-shooting Mysterious Object was definitely not a one-time-use item.

As long as using this Mysterious Object’s cost wasn’t too severe, after shooting this arrow, it was plausible there could be a second arrow, a third arrow.

This was what concerned Muse.

If the other party not only wanted to kill Rosen but also aimed to kill Muse or other senior members of the Sky Mechanical City...the consequences would be severe.

”So what should we do now?” Greya asked worriedly, with the enemy in the dark and themselves in the open, making it extremely difficult to prevent.

”The current situation stems from unequal information; from my perspective, the first thing you need to do is understand the Seed and gain a deeper understanding of that Mysterious Object,” Sanders said.

Everyone agreed with Sanders’s viewpoint. Indeed, only by understanding the specific situation could they know how to respond.

However, the difficulty now lay in, what exactly was that Mysterious Object?

After a moment of silence, Greya turned to Angel: ”Angel, do you know?”

Angel shook his head, although Frost had discussed the Seed with him, he hadn’t mentioned a Mysterious Object within the Seed Sect.

Since Angel didn’t know, everyone turned to Muse.

Muse pondered for a moment: ”I’m not sure either, but perhaps someone does know.”
