Chapter 2635: Chapter 1450: Confession and Return (Part 2)

Upon hearing this, Belinda, who had been subjected to the Silence Technique and various binding spells, was filled with regret and rage, and in her agitation, she directly vomited a mouthful of fresh blood and then fainted.

“Guardians of Devouring? They attack automatically upon sensing a threat? It’s remarkably similar to the action of immune cells; looking closely, those Guardians indeed resemble cells.”

Leo Ray naturally wouldn’t pay attention to Belinda, but instead immediately seized on the key point in the other’s words, realizing, “So, they treat us and the Medusas as intruders entering Your Excellency’s body, hence the proactive attack?”

“That’s right, they are merely a part of my body. Although I have fallen, as long as the essence of my life hasn’t completely dissipated, they will continue to faithfully fulfill their mission.”

The sand-robed old man still appeared justified, nodding his head.

Hearing these words, although it was indeed somewhat unbelievable, Leo Ray quickly caught on.

No wonder those Guardians of Devouring treated Sina as one of their kind; back when Sina was crowned, she had accepted the power, resulting in a significant boost in her strength, and traces of that power must still remain within her, making this situation unsurprising.

“Your Excellency, we mean no offense, and the culprits who forcibly activated the stele have already been captured and will face the harshest punishment. We ask you, on the basis of the agreements reached with our ancestors, to let us leave here!”

Sina’s pale face was full of urgency as she quickly bowed before the sand-robed old man with a gesture pressed to her chest.

“That’s no problem, although you’ve attacked the stele earlier, you’ve only awakened me from my slumber, and I will not hold this against you.”

The sand-robed old man shrugged his shoulders and then said, “But regrettably, besides this spiritual space and a small area near the stele, I can no longer control anything outside, including those Guardians of Devouring, so I cannot directly command them.”

As the sand-robed old man’s words fell, the previously rejoicing group suddenly fell silent again, with Lannis and the other Catman strongmen hanging their ears down, looking helpless.

It must be said, since entering this Medusa’s Holy Land, everything has been too bizarre, far beyond their expectations.

“Even if Your Excellency cannot directly control the Guardians outside, you should know of other ways to leave here, right?”

As the morale of the team was sinking lower, Leo Ray’s calm voice sounded, addressing the sand-robed old man, “Please kindly enlighten us.”

“Indeed, there is another way to leave, which is for me to forcibly send a signal, informing those Guardians that the crisis has been resolved, and they will naturally dissipate and reintegrate into my body.”

The sand-robed old man nodded frankly and said, “But forcibly sending this signal will greatly deplete my already extremely weak life essence; why should I help you? Isn’t staying here with me a joyful scenario for all? This space created by my spiritual power will surely be liked by you shortly.”

“Regrettably, Your Excellency, we appreciate your goodwill, but we have missions yet to fulfill.”

Leo Ray decisively rejected the other’s proposal, then said, “If I’m not mistaken, Your Excellency must be very interested in your lineage, otherwise you wouldn’t have reached agreements with the Medusa ancestor.”

“But unfortunately, even after Three Thousand Years, Your Excellency remains without results, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t still be unaware of who you truly are.”

Having gained experience working with Jess and others, Leo Ray obviously handled such events skillfully and continued, “My ongoing purpose is to uncover the forgotten truths of this world, including those you most desire to know, so why don’t you add a few more hopes to your cause?”

“You haven’t lied to me, and there’s a special, long-lost power within you that makes me feel a bit wary, even though my current strength is almost negligible. Not even the first Tier 6 person made me feel this way; you are indeed something special.”

After pondering for a moment, the sand-robed old man nodded to Leo Ray and said, “How do you prove you will return?”

“It’s simple, because Your Excellency is also hiding things of interest to me, it’s just that neither of us know the connection yet, and this supposed connection is the truth we both crave.”

Leo Ray replied with a faint smile, “If I uncover the truth, I will naturally come back here.”

“I understand; the reason I linger is to know what’s concealed.”

The old eyes of the sand-robed elder examined Leo Ray for a moment, then nodded and said, “Fine, I’ll send you away.”

As the sand-robed old man finished speaking, the sandstorm suddenly arose, countless sand grains retreated and disappeared quickly, soon returning to the vast, pure white space it initially was, and the sand-robed old man had already vanished.

The dispersing scene of countless sand grains was extremely heart-stirring, causing everyone to open their eyes wide.

Next, the old man’s elderly and slightly weak voice echoed again in everyone’s ears: “Alright, I’ve issued the signal to the Guardians of Devouring, you can freely leave my body, lad, don’t forget your promise.”

“This vast desert is my embodiment, formed from the influence of my corpse’s presence back then. Whenever you see this desert, remember your promise.”

Upon hearing the elderly voice, our party’s vision shifted suddenly, and we found ourselves back at the magic stele atop the altar.

“Lord, that peculiar old man didn’t lie; we’ve indeed returned from his spiritual space to real space!”

Xiao Jing’s starry eyes brightened, speaking out, as a Stone Spirit, and skilled in perception and concealment, she undoubtedly possessed a keen insight into external surroundings.

Looking around, the previously tightly packed Guardians were quickly merging into the surrounding white structure, the indestructible walls also melted away, finally making the space ample.

“Good, time is pressing, let’s move!”

Seeing the situation, Leo Ray didn’t have time to say more and, alongside Sina, Lannis, and other strongmen, swiftly darted out toward the entrance of the secret passage they came through.

Thereafter, their movements were quite smooth, and they soon returned to the surface.

At this time, the Catman Clan warriors continued to fiercely battle the enemies, but the foes were clearly at a major disadvantage, their momentum was seriously weakened.

“Belinda has been defeated, aren’t you going to surrender now?”

Sina, evidently using some Mirror Image Magic, magnified her figure dozens of times in the sky, her voice echoing throughout the battlefield.

Upon hearing Sina’s stern voice, those already low spirited Medusas no longer resisted stubbornly, immediately laying down their weapons, kneeling towards Sina, seeking Her Majesty the Queen’s forgiveness.

The remaining Witch Demons and Dead Spirits were soon obliterated, leaving no sound behind.

“Your Majesty of the Humans, we must quickly head to the Desolate Fortress, it’s time for Lucas and the Witch Demons to pay the price!”

Once the Catman Grand Army regrouped, Sina nodded to Leo Ray, solemnly saying.

“Indeed, they will pay an unbearable price for this.”

Leo Ray said, and first took his step, followed by the group hastening towards Ice Stone City.
