Chapter 1079: 338. Enemies on a narrow road_2
The Assassin Angel said:
“It’s not a problem to understand it that way, although it’s not accurate. If you have the chance to enter the headquarters of the Archangel Group, you can try to destroy the ‘No.2 Immersive Master Brain Controller.’ My will shall be freed. I will give you the reward you deserve.”
“No.2… Immersive… Master Brain Controller…” Noland Lee noted down the term.
It was as if he had taken on a rather long-term side task, the theme of which was “Rescuing the Sealed Assassin Angel.”
Considering that the other party had cooperated with him several times, gave a pleasant sensory experience, and was relatively trustworthy, Noland Lee decided to schedule this side task on his future to-do list.
Ah, of course, that is if he could enter Outer Space.
...
The Assassin Angel, unaware of what Noland Lee was thinking, continued:
“I am in great need of the bone material from the Tomb King’s hands. This time, I will offer you even more assistance.”
Invisible, mysterious rhythms emanated from the ring, passed into Noland Lee’s palm, and converged into three “Divine power runes.”
In addition to the rune used for killing Gatherer Hecandi, the Assassin Angel also gave two “Veil of The World” runes.
Attaching this rune to any object would transform it into something only Noland Lee could detect. noveldrama
Things protected by the “Veil of The World” included not only the “Tracking Mark” but also Noland Lee himself.
This showed just how important the bone material in the Tomb King’s hands was to the Assassin Angel.
Succeeding in altering the launcher’s destination coordinates would surely harvest a great deal of goodwill from the Assassin Angel.
Noland Lee stored the “Divine power runes” in his right hand and observed Nissan Dak and his companion controlled by the Blood Sun Seal in depth.
About an hour had passed, and Nissan Dak finished his conversation with Madimanson, controlled by the Blood Sun Seal.
Nissan Dak retraced his original path.
When he was close to the underground 80th floor, he forcefully crushed a red stone Madimanson had given him.
Memories about this visit were wiped away by the extraordinary power of the Blood Sun Seal.
After a brief moment of absent-mindedness, Nissan Dak passed through the checkpoint and headed for ground level.
At this point, Magic Vision could no longer observe his figure.
Noland Lee closed “Mind View” and calculated in his mind the time Nissan Dak took to travel between the ground and underground.
“Around 5 o’clock tomorrow afternoon, Nissan Dak should enter Fissure Corridor with an alchemy card recording the coordinates. I can wait in advance on his inevitable path and then seize the opportunity…”
Noland Lee stroked his chin, pondering in silence.
To prevent the cooperation with the Blood Sun Seal from being discovered, the Tomb King only assigned Third-Ring Wizards to reside in Union City.
It must be said that the Tomb King’s low-profile conduct provided Noland Lee with considerable help.
“Let’s rest tonight and prepare during the day tomorrow.”
Noland Lee turned off the lights of his temporary dwelling and entered the bedroom to meditate with Denise Green.
…
…
Day Two, Four o’clock in the afternoon.
Noland Lee used the underground entrance of Iron Thorn Shield Security Corporation to enter Fissure Corridor in advance.
From Underground Layer 3 in Sector 7, he circled to No. 18 Sector and finally stopped in the vertical passage leading to the underground 79th Floor.
This was Nissan Dak’s unavoidable path.
Noland Lee set up Mechanos and “Tracking Thunder Arrow Array” in the vertical corridor, then concealed them with an Anti-detection Magic Barrier and Illusion Formation.
To prevent Nissan Dak from changing his mind and taking a different route, Noland Lee also placed “Tracking Mark” near the doors of various stairwells.
In any case, Nissan Dak was about to find himself trapped.
The only concern for Noland Lee was the soul contract between Nissan Dak and the Blood Sun Seal.
This contract heightened the soul connection between the two parties, and any soul movement in one would be sensed by the other.
Noland Lee only needed to act quickly to alter the coordinates on the alchemy card before Nissan Dak could react, avoiding triggering any fluctuation in his soul.
Time ticked away in patient anticipation.
A distinct aura belonging to Death Clan Wizards approached from the entrance of the vertical corridor.
Nissan Dak arrived as expected and flew into the passage leading directly to the underground 79th Floor.
Midway through his flight, Noland Lee, in his Invisibility State, unleashed a series of Mental Magic spells.
Suddenly, Nissan Dak’s body stiffened, lingering in place, motionless. Yet his expression remained unchanged, keeping the caution and slight excitement he had when first entering the corridor.
Noland Lee took a deep breath and used “Mind Capture” to grasp the Magic Pouch at Nissan Dak’s waist.
He had already activated Deconstruction to learn the hand gesture to open the Magic Pouch.
Hands made from [Mage’s Hand] transformed into a transparent palm, mimed the “ok” sign, undid the pouch’s drawstring, reached in, and pinched the alchemy card.
After securing the Alchemy Card, Noland Lee wiped the character string from it with a pure liquid reagent, then used a Rune Staff to write down the destination coordinates given by the Assassin Angel.
Merely modifying the coordinates on the alchemy card was not enough.
Nissan Dak certainly knew what the coordinates provided by the Tomb King were, and he would notice something amiss just by checking the alchemy card.
Then the role of “Mental Illusion” became evident.
Noland Lee cast “Mental Illusion” toward the alchemy card, simultaneously using the “Veil of The World” to cover the energy fluctuations from “Mental Illusion.”
As a result, to Nissan Dak’s eyes, the characters on the alchemy card hadn’t changed at all, and he could not detect “Mental Illusion” at all.
Noland Lee cast Deconstruction, checked the Panel Information on the alchemy card one more time, and nodded with satisfaction.
