Chapter 657 The Protectors
?Outside the castle, the Storm Knights and the three Disciples of the Sage were puzzled by what was happening.
As soon as their Master rushed to save the Pontiff and instructed the Storm Knights to make preparations, he suddenly stopped moving the moment he used his movement technique to grab the Pontiff.
Indeed, Sage Merlin was standing dazed in front of the Pontiff!
The Pontiff had already stood up and was simply staring at the Sage as he was observing a specimen!
“Why is Master not doing anything?”
“This is confusing… I think they’re fighting through their minds. It’s probably some kind of Divinity at work… It’s out of our league.”
“That’s possible… The Ice Spirits are still fighting. So, it means that Master is still fighting through other means. There’s still hope!”
The three disciples commented as they tried to understand the situation.
But they did not know that Sage Merlin was under hypnosis all along!
On the other hand, Vale was smiling widely after confirming that he had marked the two Half-Immortals with his Slave Mark spell. .
There was no way he would just kill the Half-Immortal who tried to harm his friends. Just like Magnus, he wanted him to be a weapon he could use against the demons of the Abyss Realm.
As a Half-Immortal, Sage Merlin would surely bolster his castle’s defense.
‘However, this move consumed so much Divinity… Although I can already produce them, spending 500 of them at once just to mark these two is still too much.’ Vale thought as he looked at the Sage and Pontiff. Luckily, the Pontiff knew some dangerous illusion spell.
Just now, he applied Divinity to his Slave Mark Spell to make it stronger.
Of course, it wasn’t just that. He also suppressed them with his Doombringer Ring!
That’s right! This item that was approaching the level of Sovereign Artifacts was used against the two Half-Immortals.
The Doombringer Ring could turn their targets into an undead! It was no doubt effective against ordinary people but against Half-Immortals, this effect was certainly weakened by several times.
However, Vale had obtained Corrupted Divinity from the Demon Saints!
With the help of this Corrupted Divinity, he was able to strengthen the effect of the Doombringer Ring! Because of that, the two Half-Immortals were attacked by two Spells that consumed the minds of their target!
Vale then used his Telepathy and commanded the Sage to retrieve his Ice Spirits.
At this time, Vale was also considering taking the Storm Knights or killing them to ensure that the Pontiff being controlled would remain a secret to the whole Church.
However, at this time, something unexpected happened.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of explosions occurred! The castle’s external barrier was being destroyed!
Vale didn’t expect something like this to happen.
He immediately thought that the Demon Saints had arrived to avenge their fallen comrade.
However, as he looked above and saw a massive hole in the castle’s barrier, he noticed a group of people flying in…
They were wearing the uniforms of the Arcane Bureau!
Magnus had mentioned them to him before!
‘What are they doing here?’ Vale frowned as he saw dozens of them flying above his castle…
It seemed that they were using Artifacts that granted them the ability to fly. It was quite a magnificent sight to behold.
The Storm Knights and the three disciples were similarly surprised.
The people who had just arrived were the agents of the Arcane Bureau, the mysterious organization that regulated and monitored the use of Arcane Arts in the world.
They wouldn’t normally interfere unless it was extremely important that it could affect the stability of the Arcane World.
“The Arcanist Bureau had come!” Knight Joseph exclaimed as he immediately recognized them.
“I hope they’re not here to serve the new Immortal…” Knight Val muttered as he clenched his sword tightly. 𝘦𝑎.𝒸ℴ
The Pontiff and the Sage were acting strange. They knew that there was something wrong, but they couldn’t do anything about it. They could only hope that these agents weren’t here to add problems to them.

Agent Fox was a tall and slender woman with blue hair and green eyes under her monocle…She was a senior agent of the Arcane Bureau, who had been assigned to lead a special unit to investigate the castle, or specifically, Magnus, the owner of the castle.
However, after some investigations, she was able to meet other Agents and realized that the castle had four observation targets.
They were Vale Chambers, Constance of the Mystic Tower, the Unholy Faith, and the Genius Magnus.
There were various reasons why these people were being observed, but they all had one thing in common: they had a chance of breaking the balance of the Arcane World and making it unstable.
After getting a tip that something was happening in the castle, she gathered her unit, and they prepared for the operation.
Soon, Agent Fox commanded his unit to proceed with their operation.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, they destroyed the barrier and barged inside after activating their Float Necklace…
As soon as they did this, they felt their bodies being scanned by a powerful Magic Zone. It was something that they could only feel from the Councils of the Arcane Bureau, who were the highest authorities and the strongest Arcanists in the world.
This sensation did not last long, as the wave of aura just passed over them. But it made them uneasy and alert. Then, she looked at the situation below her.
Agent Fox and her team then witness the situation below them…
“This is a mess…” Agent Fox muttered as she looked at the two Half-Immortals, who were defeated by the mysterious subjects they had been observing for a long time now.
They were the Pontiff and Sage Merlin, two famous and influential figures in the world of magic! They were motionless, and her monocle could tell that they were both being controlled!
She also saw the mysterious subject, Vale Chambers, who was holding a black Grimoire in his left hand while looking at them with a calm yet intimidating gaze.
