Chapter 800: Chapter 618 “Sanctuary” Cannot Shelter_3
However, compared to the possible consequences, if Ash didn’t act now, everyone else’s souls would be trapped in the Time Cage until they met utter annihilation!
That would mean they had to eradicate Silver Lamp here and now—
“Even if we don’t do this, Silver Lamp will surely think of using the power of The Gods of Four Pillars to escape,” three people from the Gun Technique Sanctuary approached, staring at Ash: “This is a zero-sum game situation, and we must engage Silver Lamp in a fight to the death. We have no choice.”
Will Silver Lamp really kill me to survive… Ash immediately suppressed this untimely thought and nodded, “Alright, we’ll cooperate.”
The Gun Technique Sanctuary breathed a sigh of relief: “Then you slightly reveal some of your Miracles, and we will share some information as well, so we can coordinate during the fight. After all, our opponent is Silver Lamp, we must not underestimate her even if we have the numerical advantage.”
The request was reasonable, and Ash had no reason to refuse, so he nodded in agreement and pondered how much information to divulge.
At this point, Igula noticed that the hot-tempered Fire Mage of the Holy Domain had been silent all along and had been looking at Ash with an odd intensity, the tense expression revealing his inner turmoil—a characteristic weakness of Fire Mages, whether hotheaded or calm, they were quite poor at hiding their emotions.
The Swindler’s gaze swept by and saw that the Gun Technique Sanctuary was now less than three steps away from Ash!
When the Gun Technique Sanctuary noticed the Swindler looking at them, they knew they had been exposed and didn’t hesitate to unleash their strongest Miracle!
Indeed, the only entities capable of breaking the Time Cage were The Gods of Four Pillars.
But Silver Lamp, aside from Ash, was another potential key player!
Logically, teaming up with Ash and others to hunt down Silver Lamp should have been simpler than moving against Ash. But don’t forget, Silver Lamp was a Mage adept at Disguise; if she chose to hide, they might not be able to find her!
Moreover, Silver Lamp’s cunning and prowess in combat had left them with a profoundly intimidating impression. Compared to her, Ash’s group seemed like an easier task in their eyes, and by seizing this opportunity for a surprise attack, they could solve all their problems at once!
They merely needed a new touchstone to emerge from the Dead City, and they didn’t care who it was!
Thus, the Gun Technique Sanctuary planned to use the alliance as a pretext to unleash the swiftest and fiercest Miracle, aiming to pierce Ash’s skull before he could react!
As Ash was still considering what information to disclose, by the time he sensed something amiss, the gun’s tip was nearly touching his eyeball—
However, while the Gun Technique Sanctuary sought a chance to assassinate Ash, others were also looking for an opportunity to hunt them.
Ash’s head jerked back as he immediately raised the Holy Domain, effortlessly evading the already dissipating spear shadow.
In the last moment, the Gun Technique Sanctuary’s attempt failed miserably.
Because they were dead.
“Sanctuary” had already taken effect once, drawing them into the highest level of the Time Cage. But if they continued to slaughter each other inside the Cage, “Sanctuary” couldn’t help.
Ash saw the Gun Technique Sanctuary suddenly burst apart right before his eyes, their body resembling both an exploded meatball and a squashed mosquito. The splatter of blood, chunks, innards, and bones all hung suspended mid-air, released from the imprisonment of the Time Cage upon the master’s death, entering the normal Passage of Time.
Within this grisly composition made of scattered remains, Ash saw a seductive figure emerge not far from him. She, adorned in dark-red long gloves, was perched with a glittering Silver Lamp on one arm, dressed tonight in a dark red gown, veiled, and wearing a small hat as if attending a grand gala, regal, alluring yet perilous.
She appeared and instantly killed a member of the Gun Technique Sanctuary!
Inside “Sanctuary,” the first death occurred.
