Campari’s soul lay silent, the body of the black-haired Elf girl shattered, transforming into an ink-black humanoid form composed of countless subspace fissures.
However, as silver light flared, all the black mist was crystallized and sealed in mid-air.
Defeating part of this Fifth Energy Level expert’s power would have been something worth boasting about, but neither Yafada nor the trio controlling the dragon body under the guise of ’Mahdi’ dared to be careless. They only heaved a sigh of relief once the crystal was completely sealed, thoroughly isolating all the black mist.
Yet the atmosphere turned awkward.
Raising his head, the silver-haired elf locked eyes with the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon, holding the Rainbow Key in his hand. He hesitated but eventually shook his head: "There are a thousand words to say, but now is not the time to discuss too much of the past with you."
"Back then, the Dim Moon uprising... indeed had ties to both Campari and our high ranks in Canaan Moore, but Campari is our internal issue in Canaan Moore; I hope you can understand."
With Yafada’s strength, he did not fear Mahdi, who was controlling the Dragon Body of the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon at the moment. After all, this dragon body could take shape due to his efforts in shaping and catalyzing it. Although he wasn’t certain about the dragon body’s true strength, generally speaking, it was still within his manageable scope.
But now, Canaan Moore’s goal was not merely to deal with the unexpected guest ’Mahdi,’ but to target the body of the ’Misty Dust Nation’... and this split soul sealed by silver crystals before them was the key poisonous thorn and killing move.
It was vital not to lose it, so even Yafada Silvergate, the Grand Council Chairman with the highest control of actual political power in Canaan Moore, had to attempt coordination with Mahdi in a gentle tone.
Within the heart and soul of the dragon, a powerful soul wave stirred, causing Yafada’s heart to tighten slightly. Mahdi’s soul strength far exceeded his expectations; it almost resembled Fourth Energy Level quality rather than Third!
Did he even devour the soul after defeating ’Echo’...
’Mahdi’ naturally knew nothing of Yafada’s thoughts, while Ian felt rather calm inside.
Dim Moon uprising? What did it have to do with him? Although he was the heir of Hiliard and Yinaiga, it was exactly this way his teacher-educated youth could view that failed attempt objectively and rationally... It was a daring yet spirited reform, doomed to fail, but able to ignite the curtains of a new era, unfolding grand changes in a blaze.
And what he had to do was to be the protagonist of this new era’s curtain.
"Only." Therefore, ’Mahdi’ quietly said, the dragon extending its forepaw pointing to the crystal before him: "I want to know how you plan on using this ’split soul’ to confront a Fifth Energy Level entity."
"Go ahead, I’ve already deduced who it was used against, and it’s precisely due to the anger in my heart that I desire to understand more clearly."
"...Alright." Upon hearing this definitive response, Yafada felt slightly relieved instead. He extended his hand, taking the silver crystal confining the black mist, then spoke to the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon: "As you suspected, it was precisely the method used against Inega II during the Dim Moon uprising by the Empire’s internal traitors."
"The Empire’s Crown Prince, Anpid Sertal, actively retained his father Inega II within himself, using it to protect his split soul contamination and analyze the soul structure of the split soul so that the rebels at that time could deliver a critical blow to his Aether True Body core at the most vital moment."
Having said thus, Yafada shook his head dispassionately, like reading about a fool doing something stupid in a history book, using a dull tone: "Even with countless calculations, Inega II was still not a Prophet; how could he possibly predict his son would go so far?"
"Honestly, according to what we know, because of misleading from the Empress and others in various facets, he initially thought his son was in trouble, realized something was wrong, and rushed to save him, only to walk right into the already set trap."
"I see... betrayal of the closest ones." Mahdi glanced at the silver crystal in front and scoffed: "Truly absurd, no matter how many times my teacher explains, I cannot comprehend such folly."
"If you say that your own Canaan Moore orchestrated ’Half-Moon Uprising,’ I can at least see some ’rooting out the old era’s shadows,’ creating a unified new Canaan Moore out of it, then aside from the Dim Moon uprising’s original aims to impede the Empire’s growth from external forces, internally, everyone was cowardly clowns."
"The First Knight is indeed strong... but he is blind to the situation due to his presence."
Yafada knew these words were not suitable to come from him, but he could see that ’Mahdi’ was conversing these matters with him, hoping for an ’alternative perspective’ beyond his master’s... This powerful Second Generation of the Immovable Firmament clearly wasn’t as simple and pure as the first.
He was deep-minded, foresighted, not easily angered, nor would be simply blinded by his own perspective.
So, the silver-haired elf candidly said: "At that time, rumors spread throughout the continent claiming Inega II had found the ’Method of Immortality,’ and the best application of this Method of Immortality was to his ’bloodline descendant.’" This content belongs to novel✦fire.net
