CHAPTER 1347 ESCORTED TO THE MINING AREA

Archie unleashed his big claws and attempted to swipe the Rule Soul Avatar with them.

However, even with his tremendous fiend power, he wasn't able to break into the Rule Soul Avatar's

body. Instead, he felt his claws only hit an infinite space made of soft fabric.

"What the hell?!"

Archie roared in anger as he recognized that his strike didn't land on the body of the Rule Soul Avatar.

Thus, he rushed forth and viciously threw hundreds of attacks again. However, the result was still the

same. His attacks seemed like they were disappearing before they could even make contact on their

target.

Meanwhile, the Rule Soul Avatar was so relieved that the time trap worked. With this, it caused Archie's

attacks to be sent in another place and time.

However, using such a powerful skill also required a tremendous amount of energy. Moreover, he had

used the Order Penetrating, making him exhaust almost all of his Spirit Power.

"Merle, kill him!"

At this moment, the Rule Soul Avatar sensed that Merle had already come back to life. In this crucial

situation, he needed Merle to help him finish Archie off.

As soon as he heard the Rule Soul Avatar's voice, Merle took action. His fiend body turned into a beam

of light, sneakily attacking Archie from behind.

Swoosh!

Merle knew that this could be their chance to defeat Archie, so he gathered and released all of his fiend

power in one go.

At the same time, Archie quickly sensed that something dangerous was rapidly approaching him from

behind, thus he immediately turned around and swiped his big claws.

"Ha! You big idiot! Do you think I'll fall for that again?"

Earlier, Merle had been careless to be brought down by Archie, but this time, he had already learned

his lesson. Therefore, he was prepared for the moment that Archie would launch his counterattack.

Merle timed it perfectly and changed the direction of his attack. With this, he was able to land a clear hit

on Archie's head using his palm.

Boom!

With the massive impact, Archie's head exploded into pieces and his huge body fell into the sewage.

At the sight of Archie's brutal death, the other fiends were dumbfounded and crippled in fear. He was

supposed to be the king in the prison, but he was instantly killed by a single blow. They became scared

for their lives and didn't know what to do.

"Now we're even." Merle raised his head and shot a glance at the Rule Soul Avatar.

On the other hand, the Rule Soul Avatar just averted his gaze, acted indifferently, and didn't utter a

word.

Swoosh!

All of a sudden, the entire prison shook violently. It turned out that it wasn't only happening there, but

also in this whole city.

Then, several extremely huge auras covered the skies above the city, and numerous pairs of dark gray

eyes appeared among the thick clouds.

At the same time, the Rule Soul Avatar could feel that several huge streams of pressure were pouring

towards him.

A frown emerged from his face as he hurriedly withdrew the Time Law.

He briefly remembered that the last time he obtained the Time Law, the chief gods had been attracted

to it and tried to pry on it. This time, it seemed like powerful creatures had also perceived it when he

exhibited the Time Law earlier.

For a while, the violent trembling continued. However, it seemed that whoever was searching for the

Time Law didn't gain any useful information, so they retreated about fifteen minutes later, and all the

shaking also stopped.

After this, Merle approached Archie's dead body. He actually wanted to merge with it right away, but

since he could not activate his Merging Force at short intervals, he still needed to rest and wait for at

least a few days to try and do it.

Merle let out a sigh, knowing that he had no choice but to wait it out. After all, if he hadn't merged with

the previous fiend, he wouldn't be able to kill Archie even if he had cooperated with the Rule Soul

Avatar.

"Let's take care of other things first. Come at me! I'll kill you all!"

Merle quickly turned around and released his enormous fiend power. He unleashed a massive attack,

killing all of the fiends that were still present in the prison.

In an instant, the prison was filled with the blood and dead bodies of the fiends. The scene looked

gruesome as if it was a glimpse of hell.

"Damn it!"

Soon after, a group of fiend soldiers arrived and rushed into the prison.

"What is this mess?! Did you slaughter all of them? Bastards! What are you waiting for? Kill them!" the

leader of the fiend soldiers shouted angrily upon seeing the current state of the prison.

These fiends were actually imprisoned here to serve as workers for a mine. However, not a single one

of them remained. Now, the fiend warden, who was in charge of the prison, had to take responsibility

for this.

At that moment, neither the Rule Soul Avatar nor Merle had time to recover yet after the previous

battles. On the other hand, these fiend soldiers were not to be underestimated. Furthermore, the

warden's strength was comparable to that of a warrior at the top level of the Celestial God Realm. It

meant that the two of them would hardly be able to stand their ground against such opponents.

"Sir, if I may speak, I don't think it's a good idea to kill them," one of the fiend soldiers told the warden.

"Then what should I report to my leader?" the warden replied through gritted teeth.

"Sir, if they were able to slaughter all of the prisoners here, it just proves that they are quite powerful.

I'm just thinking that we can spare their lives and let them do labors in the mining area instead. They

could be more useful to us alive than dead," the fiend soldier explained.

Upon hearing this, the fiend warden thought about it for a while.

"Well, fine. What you said makes sense. Take these two idiots to the mining area and make them work

for a hundred thousand years!" the fiend warden ordered.

"Yes, sir!"

At the warden's command, several fiend soldiers immediately stepped forward and restrained both

Merle and the Rule Soul Avatar. They tied them up and took them out.

Outside, the fiend soldiers covered the eyes of the two with a special cloth before boarding them on a

huge flying fiendish beast.

Then, the flying fiendish beast soared into the air and flew towards the southwest.

On the back of this huge fiendish beast, besides the Rule Soul Avatar and Merle, there were also tens

of thousands of fiends that were being sent to the mining area. Surprisingly, some of them were

comparable to warriors at the Superior God Realm.

This bunch was escorted by four powerful fiend gods, who had the strength at the middle-level of the

Superior God Realm. Knowing this, no one among the prisoners dared attempt to escape.

While they were traveling up in the air, the strong wind kept whistling in their ears. After about a month

of flying, they reached a huge mountain range where the mining area was located.

"Hey, Xavier. Why aren't you doing anything yet? Are you not going to run and escape?"

These thoughts were already inside Merle's head for a while, but he couldn't figure out the answer, so

he asked.

"It's none of your business," the Rule Soul Avatar just responded coldly.

"Humph! Didn't you want to look for that woman as soon as possible? Why are you not in a hurr—"

Merle suddenly stopped in the middle of his sentence. A thought entered his mind that finally

enlightened him. 'I get it. No wonder he never thought of escaping. That woman must have been

captured too and sent to the mine!' he speculated.

"What an interesting guy…" Merle muttered to himself.

He was impressed by how the Rule Soul Avatar thought of things. He was able to calculate every

single detail. It seemed like since the beginning, it was already his goal to be sent into the mine, where

the woman that he was looking for was being held.

'Is he just lucky or can he really predict the future?' Merle thought further.

As a matter of fact, it was not that difficult for the Rule Soul Avatar to analyze all of these things. With

the help of the endless laws that he could filter, he was able to deduce and scrutinize things from even

scarce information.

He had found out that there were a total of three mines under the jurisdiction of the city. Furthermore,

with some laws related to the mines, he learned the recent situations inside them and other details like

the number of people who had been sent in these places recently.

Of course, with such a complex kind of analysis, the Rule Soul Avatar usually had to consider and

evaluate more than a million possibilities in just a few seconds. This was such an extreme workload,

and no one else in the world might be able to do it besides him.

"So, you finally understood," the Rule Soul Avatar said indifferently.

"Humph!" Merle scoffed, feeling the uneasiness in his heart.

A few moments later, the huge fiendish beast began to slow down and gradually lowered its altitude.

"All miners, get down now!" the fiend gods ordered. They knocked and pushed all of the people at the

back of the huge beast down to the ground.

After that, the huge fiendish beast immediately flew away and left, together with the fiend gods that

escorted the prisoners. With this, the manager of the mining area took over the custody of the new

laborers.

As the miners removed the cloth that was covering their eyes, they looked around at the unfamiliar

sight. All they could see was a black mountain ridge around them. Since their fiendish sense was very

much restricted in this place, they could not perceive anything from the outside.

"Listen carefully! A hundred years is just a very short amount of time. As long as you work hard and dig

out enough ores, you can go out alive as soon as possible.

But if you dare to slack off on this job, you can expect that this place will already be your tomb,"

the manager lectured and made sure that everybody understood what he said. holds text © rights.

The Rule Soul Avatar's appearance wasn't too eye-catching, thus he blended well with the fiends. But

his Spirit Power was strong enough to reach and perceive the whole mining area. With this, he was

able to analyze the terrain clearly.

He found out that there were millions of miners in the area, which had a radius of at least several

hundred thousand kilometers. Despite that, the Rule Soul Avatar tirelessly searched for Jenifer's aura

in this vast mining area.
