Novel Full Chapter 1335 Offers
In the face of such intense overwhelming pressure, Emery could hear his entire body, his bones, starting to crack. Instinctively, he activated his transformation ability, turning into his Twilight Wolf form.
The frown on his face lessened as he could feel the burden he was under became lighter. Even so, withstanding the pressure was still an agonizing sensation.
Howwlll!!
Since his [Twilight Transformation] bestowed magic resistance, Emery was able to withstand some of the brunt of the dark elf grand magus’ spirit attacks. However, as soon as the other party saw him transform, the attack stopped.
“Oh.. it’s not an insect…but a dog instead.. Still…” The dark elf grand magus made a little gesture ordering his men, “We should just kill the dog and the master shall come.”
Seeing one of the dark elf magus draw his weapon at those words, Emery realized that he had to resort to something more effective in order to get what he wanted.
Fortunately, he had prepared for such a possibility before coming to this exchange.
Emery quickly raised his arm into the air, revealing the metal emblem that nestled within his palm, and said, “If you come any closer, I will crush this emblem. Your princess shall come along with me in death.”
His abrupt action put a halt to the magus’ actions, and at the same time, his mind was bombarded with harsh curse words by an exasperated female dark elf.
<What are you trying to pull here?!! Stop right now!> said Lyanna Darkmoon in panic.
Meanwhile, the dark elf grand magus was silent, an inexplicable glint flashed across his eyes. It was apparent that the elderly elf was one that was calculative, and thus he quickly realized that Emery was not just a mere messenger.
After several seconds of tense silence ensued between them, it was broken by the dark elf grand magus’ voice.
“How can I know for sure if the princess is indeed in that emblem?”
Emery didn’t even need to think to answer such a question, as Lyanna immediately told him what the elder needed to hear after she realized the situation. With the answer given for him, he only needed to repeat the exact same words she said.
“Your princess told me to ask, why is it that you, Agar, her uncle’s right hand man, here, not her father’s.”
The elderly elf showed a glint of a smile hearing this and said, “Yes, The Darkmoon clan patriarch is currently occupied with the war, so he gave the task to my master, to bring you back home instead.”
The words given by Lyanna appear to convince the elderly dark elf. On the other hand, Emery became more hopeful when he heard their answer. If the Darkmoon Clan was indeed involved deep in the war, then there was a high chance that they would have the information he needed.
After hearing Emery’s words, the dark elf grand magus seemed to think for a moment. Then, with a little smile on his face, he said, “Alright then, let me hear what kind of information you want.”
Emery steadied himself before saying, “I want to know what happened to the Magus Academy’s acolytes. Where are they now?”
Unexpectedly, the elderly elf broke into a chuckle when he heard the question. Instead of answering, he instead asked a question of his own. “Even if I did tell you, how would you know whether I am lying or not?”
As he had expected such a question, Emery quickly replied in a calm tone. “That is simple; after I confirm that the information is true, then I will find you again to hand over your princess’ spirit soul.”
The dark elf grand magus exploded into laughter at those words.
“Hahaha, what a naive little pup! What guarantees that you will keep your word after receiving the information?” He asked in a mocking tone. “No matter how I see it, this is not a good deal for us.”
Unfazed by the mockery, Emery calmly said, “Even with your princess’ life on the line?”
“Stupid fool! On the contrary, giving you the information will only endanger the princess even more.”
At those words, Emery heaved a sigh. He then stopped channeling his spirit energy into the emblem as Lyanna wouldn’t stop screaming in his mind, asking what exactly he was doing.
This was as far as the plan he had prepared with Grand Magus Fuxi and Julian, and just as he had feared, the dark elves had decided to not play along. The next step of the plan was to give some time for the other side to send a message to Lyanna’s father, as he should be the one who has the authority in this matter.
Such an alternative might work, but unfortunately Emery did not have the luxury of time. Hence the reason he went for a more drastic plan.
🇫🇷🇴🇲
Emery took a deep breath and decided to offer his own plan.
“Then here is what I am proposing… You will take me to where the acolytes are being held, and I will let you have your princess back the moment I confirm the acolyte location.”
The proposal that Emery offered was certainly a surprise to the dark elf as the expression on his face showed. After all, it was basically an ultimate suicide plan on Emery’s part.
With him being brought into the dark elf’s territory, there were hundreds of ways for them to take the emblem from him, either by trick or force.
Simply put, this deal was something the elves have no reason to refuse, and one Emery was willing to do. He was willing to go to such lengths, taking such a risk in order to obtain the information. As for the means to escape, he had to rely on his spatial ability or luck.
“You really are a fool!” the grand magus bellowed along with a laugh.
Again, Emery was unfazed by the mocking words; he was certain that the elf would not reject his offer and was ready to follow them.
But then, he saw one dark elf magus appear out of the woods, approaching the elder, reporting something.
He could see the dark elf grand magus making a startled expression on his face after the magus finished reporting. The elderly man then stared at him and said, “You really did come alone, huh… A mere acolyte had come by himself trying to make a high-secret deal.”
Emery could see the other party staring at him in wonder.
“You have succeeded in confusing me, kid.” He said in amusement. “Either that you are extremely stupid, or that you are just too brave for your own good.”
The development of the situation suddenly made Emery anxious. Emery suddenly had this thought that the dark elf grand magus only entertained him with small talk while his men scoured and secured the surrounding area.
But then, why? What was the reason?
Suppressing those thoughts, Emery said to the elderly elf, “So, do we have a deal?”
The other party only smiled as he said, “No, we do not.”
He said those words while giving a gesture for his underling to take action. Seeing that, Emery quickly raised the emblem again, channeling his spirit energy while putting on some strength, ready to break it any moment as he shouted, “Do you think that I do not dare to destroy this?!”
<Tell him to stop!! Tell him that my father will punish him for this!>
The next words that left his mouth shocked Emery.
With a smile, the dark elf grand magus said, “I think you came here ready to die, Unfortunately, we are not here to save the princess. We are here to make sure the princess dies”
“Kill him, and destroy that emblem!”
