Chapter 1439: Investigate

Abel returned to the Golden Castle from the Dark World. The intense battles lately were wearing him out.

The Throne of Destruction was only getting more challenging, and he could be put in danger at any moment so he could not let his guard down at all when down there.

In the past he might have been able to clear an area in a day, but now it might take him up to ten days!

A month had passed in the central continent, but Abel had been fully focused on the Dark World. Still, he had reached his limit and felt like he would break down if he didn’t take a rest.

He sat on his Golden Castle above the Battlecry Plateau with a glass of Water Spirit fruit juice and a beautiful view in front of him.

As Doff’s power grew, his faithful grounds were getting even more energetic.

“Magic Circle Spirit, has anything big happened lately?” Abel asked casually. He couldn’t help but shake his head with an awkward smile at himself. It seemed he really was an out of touch person.

“Master, here’s the dragons’ latest report!” A message was transferred to Abel through the Power of the Will.

Abel scanned through it. The most common topic were the fights between the Wizard Union and the Holy Kingdom.

But it was basically a common day-to-day thing by this point.

Abel suddenly thought of that Magic Circle under the Wizard Union and inquired, “Right, Magic Circle Spirit, did you analyze that Magic Circle I gave you last time?”

“Master, I’ve exchanged information with many spirits from the Holy Continent and came to the conclusion that it is a God-Binding Circle. It is an Ancient Circle!” the Magic Circle Spirit replied quickly.

Abel promptly received a report about the Magic Circle.

The Magic Circle sSpirit was one of Abel’s closest spirits and held the highest authority. It had started its research ever since Abel shown it that Magic Circle. It could connect with all spirits in the Holy Continent and do a lot of analysis, but it all still took time.

After all, the God-Binding Circle took the Wizard Union hundreds of years of research by countless powerful wizards.

Last time the Magic Circle Spirit had only given Abel some surface analysis of the God-Binding Circle, it didn’t know exactly how to operate it.

When Abel read the report, a fiery passion burned in his eyes. He had always had his eyes on those twelve Divine Bodies under the Wizard Union. Not being able to penetrate the God-Binding Circle was his main reason for stopping.

Who cared about his treaty with the Wizard Union?. They already had an unresolvable grudge. The fact that he had stolen the World Stone Heart proved it.

The Wizard Union might not know it was him now, but they would not let him go once they did!

But last time he snuck in with Thief god Milton because he was lucky. The Wizard Union wouldn’t fall for the same trick twice.

“I still have to recall Thief God Milton!” He stood up and gulped down his juice before disappearing.

He reappeared on the Fire Tooth battle fort. It sped towards the shores of the Holy Kingdom.

At that moment Thief God Milton had just slit the throats of a preacher and five knights, and he suddenly paused. He quickly put away his holy dagger and flew away.

——

Soon after he left, more God Rank Knights attacked the Howling Castle.

Meanwhile, Knight Felix gazed at the Saint, who was not looking good.

“Your Grace, Thief God Milton was here again, and he just left Lina City!” Knight Felix reported grimly.

“We are basically wasting Faith on him!” the Saint said irritably

“Your Grace, please tell the Guardian Wings to track down Thief God Milton again!” Knight Felix asked firmly.

The Saint was not looking good, but he still had to helplessly obey the request.

He had used the Guardian Wings countless times for this purpose, but he was never able to succeed. Knight Felix’s request would not make a difference.

These days he stayed in the central temple and would activate the Guardian Wings as soon as there was a report that a knight or preacher had been killed.

It was just that Thief God Milton was too cunning, and the Guardian Wings could not pin down his energy.

Still, the God Rank knights did not give up, even though they were using a lot of Faith.

The Saint’s authority had dropped significantly, and he was now doing repetitive and trivial work, feeling like a laborer.

He helplessly connected to the Guardian Wings once again.

But to his surprise, the Guardian Wings really did find something. It was a faint God Rank energy, speeding away!

Abel had no idea that Thief God Milton’s energy would leak out when he was moving at full speed, as he just wanted to take back Thief God Milton as fast as possible.

“We found him!” the Saint gasped.

He had done this countless times and failed, despite the large amounts of faith they’d been using recently, so he had always thought what he was doing was wrong.

But as Knight Felix kept persisting, they finally tracked down Thief God Milton!

“Where?” Knight Felix quickly jumped up.

He was not expecting to find Thief God Milton. All he wanted to accomplish was to drain the Saint’s energy and make him give up in their competition for power.

The Saint sensed the Guardian Wings and replied, “He is going too fast, we don’t have a specific location!”

“See if he is flying in a straight line and if there are any cities along his way!” Knight Felix grunted.

“Yes, he is flying in a straight line, but I need to check their map to see what city is in his path!” the Saint said confidently.

Knight Felix took out a full map of the Holy kingdom and said, “Draw his route here!”

The Saint took out a pen, drew two dots and a straight line connecting them. As soon as he did, Knight Felix snatched up the map and began to analyze it.

Thief God Milton showing his energy was definitely not normal, so something suspicious had to be going on. Also, Thief God Milton would not normally fly in a straight line, but would take detours.

“Not good, Thief God Milton wants to leave the Holy Kingdom!” Knight Felix deduced quickly.

There were no cities in Thief God Milton’s way. In fact, he was heading towards the shore, and the Holy Kingdom’s defense system only worked against invaders.

Knight Felix had speculated long ago that Thief God Milton was entering from the ocean, and this confirmed it.

“Damn it!” he swore.

At that moment, five of the God Rank knights were going about their daily attacks on the front line. Thief God Milton would be gone even if he recalled them at this moment.

But once they missed this opportunity, they might never have it again!

Knight Felix activated a Communication Circle and connected with God Rank Knight Harrison who was nearby, and the two quickly teleported to a city near to the shore.

There he would be able to ambush Thief God Milton!

Thief God Milton might be able to assassinate a God Rank knight, but he would stand no chance in a head-on battle!

They were in the Holy Kingdom and as far as they knew, the only one capable of evading the Guardian Wings was Thief God Milton, which meant they only had one enemy here!

——-

Abel was standing on the shore. He had the Crystal Angel Statue, so the Guardian Wings thought he was a part of the Holy Kingdom.

If not, he would have been spotted by the Saint long ago!

His Druid Soul suddenly sent him an alert. “God Rank Knights?”

By this point the Holy Kingdom was basically like his own territory. Although he wasn’t receiving as much Faith as the Demon from Beyond, his Druid Soul could still clearly sense what was happening here!
