Chapter 675 Gates
?After seeing the two Half-Immortal’s condition, Vale no longer hesitated as he used his Slave Mark Spell on them, a spell that would not work on Demon Saints.
He placed a mark on their foreheads, making them his slaves. It worked without any resistance.
Felix and Raizen didn’t have the chance to even raise their mental defense!
“Mhmm… So you’re really members of the Council and not Demon Saints. You guys just have a terrible attitude… What a pity.” Vale muttered as confirmed that they were not Demon Saints, but genuine Half-Immortals of the Human Realm.
Vale then ordered the two to give him the places where the gates leading to the Abyss had been detected.
With that, Felix gave a map where the gates to the Abyss were marked.
Then, Raize also gave some information about the Demon Saints and their possible locations. These possible locations were places where cultists gather around the world.
Although unsure, there was a high chance that they were also hiding the gates in those places.
Vale then took everything with him and prepared to leave the Arcane Bureau.
He looked at his new slaves and said…
“You two will follow me from now on. You will obey my every command including this lady beside me. She’s Lisa…”
Vale paused for a moment as he recalled something before he continued.
“For now… You will stay here in the Arcane Bureau to make sure that there are no other Demon Saints… Do you understand? I need to make sure that the Bureau will not be sabotaged.”
After some thought, Vale realized that the Bureau’s influence could still be used. They just had to make sure that there was no place for Demon Saints in their Organization.
With that said, Felix and Raizen nodded in submission.
Well, they had no choice but to obey him. They had become his slaves, and they could not resist him.
Vale then left the room with Agent Axe and Lisa.
He ignored the other Agents who had just arrived and thought of stopping him…
“What will happen to me?” Agent Axe asked worriedly.
“I confirmed that you’re not a Demon Saint… So I need you to work as an informant. I may not be in the castle for most of the time, but if there’s something important, I want you to deliver that information to the castle. We don’t have a wide network like your organization, so I will need your help.” Vale said.
“This… But those two Council members can do that better than me…” Agent Axe replied.
“They have to do something else. Are you complaining?” Vale said.
However, the real reason was that his Slave Mark was not permanent yet.
It would slowly weaken in due time, and if he continuously let the slave do something that he had never done before or something he hated to do, the Mark would weaken, and it would lessen the days he could control them.
That was why he thought that sending the two Half Immortals to their normal duties would make his Slaver Mark last longer.
“No, I didn’t mean that. Thank you, Sir Immortal… I will work hard!”
With that said, Vale used his Ethereal Steps to escape from the Arcane Bureau. As for Lisa, she also used her Ghost-like movement technique to follow him.
They had completed the mission and obtained the valuable information they needed.
Vale didn’t want to stay in his place any longer. He didn’t even bother extracting the two Half-Immortals since they only have 13 Spell Models, and they weren’t that impressive in Vale’s eyes.
It was better to let them have it since they would be on his front lines once the invasion reached his castle.
For now, he would try to limit the number of gates as much as possible.
***
On the next day, Vale and Lisa went to the next potential location of the gate, according to the map.
They went to the closest possible location and it was in the southern region of the Ruri Kingdom!
To his astonishment, it was already deserted and the crack or gate was concealed in the mountain rocks!
“Did they know I’m coming?” Vale mused as he could still see the things left behind by the cultists.
Anyway, he sensed a faint trace of demonic energy coming from the crack, and he knew that it was truly a gate to the Abyss.
‘I wonder how long this thing has been here… Did they already send out many Demon Saints to act as the vanguard?’ Vale couldn’t help but think as he considered his next steps.
In the end, he decided to try and forcefully close it to prevent any more Demonic Saints from entering the human realm.
He summoned his Divine Lightning, a powerful Celestial Art that he could always rely on.
It didn’t end there; he channeled his Divinity into his Stormbringer Sword, and unleashed a massive bolt of lightning at the crack.
The lightning struck the void with a loud thunder and caused a huge explosion.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
This continued for a while as the mountain rocks shattered and collapsed, but the crack wasn’t sealed by the Divine Lightning.
However, similar to the ones before, it attracted the attention of the Demon Saints on the other side!
Vale smiled at this as he thought he would get to fight another pair of Demon Saints… However, something unexpected happened.
The two Demon Saints only assessed Vale for a while before returning back to the Abyss and closing the gate in the process! 𝘳.𝑐𝘰
“W-what just happened?” Vale was shocked as he realized they fled so quickly!
‘Aren’t you being a bit too cautious for a Demon Saint?!’ Vale couldn’t help but complain.
However, Vale still felt a surge of satisfaction as he closed the gate in the process.
“That Demon Saint who escaped before had probably spread the information.” Lisa remarked after seeing Vale’s confusion.
Vale could only nod at this explanation.
He then looked at Lisa and smiled. “That’s still one less gate to worry about. Let’s go to the next one.”
