After receiving permission, Mantayu and Sainz walked towards the table.

Swish!

An arrow brushed past Mantayu and Sainz’s faces.

The two of them immediately returned to their original positions and looked at the old man warily.

Before they could speak, the old man stood at the table and said slowly, “There’s only one position for a leader here. It’s hard to decide.”

The two of them cursed in their hearts after hearing this.

“Old fox, isn’t it obvious that he wants us to fight!”

Mantayu said to Sainz, “How about we have a spar?”

As he spoke, he did not forget to walk out towards the door. After hearing Mantayu’s words, Sainz understood the situation.

Thus, he replied: “Since you’ve said that, I have no choice but to agree.”

Mantayu cursed upon hearing this, “Old fox!”

The guards then led them to the castle’s basement.

After several turns, they finally arrived at the basement.

Squeak!

Light entered the basement as the door was opened.

The guard led the two into the basement, which was about half the size of a hall.

One could only imagine how much manpower and resources were required at that time to build this.

In the middle of the basement, a model of the arena could be seen.

The guard took the Magic Stone to the arena in the basement.

He placed the Magic Stone into a square groove.

While the guards went to light the lamps, Mantayu scouted the surroundings.

After looking around, he turned to look at a statue.

It was a human-shaped statue wrapped in a piece of cloth.

The guard was still lighting up the magic formation and did not notice what was happening.

Mantayu walked straight to the statue wrapped in cloth.

Just as Mantayu was about to reach out and remove the cloth, he heard a furious voice: “What are you doing?! Don’t touch that cloth! You’ll kill everyone here!”

Mantayu stopped what he was doing upon hearing that.

“Go back! I think I already know who won,” the guard said coldly from behind.

With that said, he led Sainz back into the hall, leaving behind the dumbfounded Mantayu.

Not long after the guard left with Sainz, Mantayu began to gain an interest in the statue.

Curious, he walked over to the statue and reached out to remove the cloth.

‘Since no one is here, should I take the opportunity to remove the cloth?’ Mantayu thought about it.

Just as he was wondering if he should remove the cloth, he heard a creepy laughter.

Kekeke~

The miserable laughter echoed in the empty basement, scaring him into running out of the basement.

Not long after he left, a blurry dark purple figure emerged from the statue.

It was impossible to see the figure’s face from the front.

However, judging from the accessories and clothes on his body, he might be from an influential noble family.

Not long after Mantayu and the others left the basement, a blinding light suddenly lit up!

The magic formation was activated.

When the dark purple figure saw that the magic formation had launched an attack, it began to desperately dodge the fatal rays of light.

It tried its best to dodge, but a beam of light still hit it.

A shrill scream echoed in the basement.

The figure melted like snow meeting sunlight.

After a few minutes, the dark purple figure turned into a light purple color.

At this moment, the sound of a door opening broke the silence in the basement.

The one who came in was the guard who had just left. He was holding a talisman that had yet to be drawn.

He waved the talisman into the air while chanting an incantation.

There was a loud bang.

The light purple figure turned into specks of purple light that floated in the air.

The talisman that the guard had placed in the air floated towards the purple light.

After the talisman absorbed the purple light, it turned into a faint purple color.

There were no drawings on the talisman initially.

However, because of the light spots, the talisman gained some inscriptions!

The guard waved his hand, expecting the talisman to return to his hand.

Unexpectedly, a faint purple flame mixed with blue light was released.

An anguished screamed alerted Hank the Spellmaster who was outside.

After entering, he saw the guard rolling on the ground and covered in flames.

He did not expect that the spirit that he had sealed for a long time would gain intelligence.

From the looks of it, a spiritual body that could change its form was born!

First, it lowered its guard by being weak. Then, it entered the talisman to control the fire element within.

“Sigh! Looks like I was too careless.”

“I was so focused on sealing it that I didn’t notice how much stronger it had become.”

“Now, I’ve lost a high-level talisman for nothing, and I’ve also wasted a lot of materials.”

Just as he said that, he realized that the talisman was gone!

He looked around but did not see the talisman. He scratched his head and looked into the sky.

As soon as he looked up, he saw a talisman that looked like a purple meteor flying towards the César Forest from above his head.
