Chapter 583 556-Breaking the Mirror Seal

Chapter 583 Chapter556-Breaking the Mirror Seal

John had roughly figured out that Duke Arsena and Natasha had been sealed by Darklord, using a method involving a mirror seal.

"So you're saying that Duke Arsena and Natasha were sealed inside this mirror? Although this mirror possesses considerable Mystery power, I don't see how it could achieve such an effect.

Indeed, this mirror can seal some things. But it should only be able to seal things of not very high levels. Both Natasha and Duke Arsena are quite powerful; how could they be sealed inside the mirror?"

Darklord had used the Mirror of Mystery as a weapon in a previous battle, and now that mirror was in John's hands.

Holding the mirror, John posed his question to the three before him.

Shatras, being the strongest among the three and the only one with substantial knowledge about sealing spells, naturally took it upon herself to provide John with a thorough explanation.

"I too believe that the power of this mirror isn't overwhelmingly strong. But we all witnessed Darklord using it to seal both Duke Arsena and Natasha.

Don't you have the Book of the Astral Realm now? Can't you just use it to break the seal? This shouldn't be too difficult for you, especially considering the immense power you displayed in the previous battles."

In Shatras's view, John's hesitation was merely a waste of time.

With his own considerable power, not to mention his possession of the Book of the Astral Realm, which represents spatial authority, John should be more than capable of breaking the seal.

However, John didn't immediately agree.

He was well aware of his own condition and knew he wasn't at his peak.

Forcing the breaking of the seal within the mirror would likely result in a backlash against him.

After the continuous battles, John's own magical power (MP) was essentially completely depleted.

"What you've said makes sense. However, my current condition isn't as good as you might think. Shatras, if you believe you can do it, then I'm willing to entrust the Book of the Astral Realm to you for temporary use."

Shatras was visibly surprised upon hearing this. In her view, the Book of the Astral Realm was an incredibly powerful Sacred Relic.

If she were the owner of the Book of the Astral Realm, she would never entrust such a relic to anyone else for use.

"Are you really willing to temporarily hand over the Book of the Astral Realm to me? Aren't you worried that I might choose to flee with it? If that happens, you would lose this incredibly powerful Sacred Relic."

Faced with Shatras's question, John smiled slightly: "I trust you because we have collaborated many times before. I know you wouldn't easily betray an ally. Moreover, do you think I wouldn't have any contingency plans?

If you really decided to flee with the Book of the Astral Realm, it would teleport you back to Storm City. I've linked the Book of the Astral Realm with the teleportation point of Storm City. No one can take the Book of the Astral Realm out of Storm City by any means now."

John had great trust in Shatras, so he didn't conceal any of the additional precautions he had taken.

After hearing John's explanation, Shatras nodded in understanding.

As a Legend Magus, she didn't believe John would fail to take any precautions.

John's willingness to disclose all his safeguards demonstrated his profound trust in Shatras.

"In that case, let's take action as soon as possible. I'm very eager to find out what exactly happened to Duke Arsena and Natasha."

Shatras extended her left hand, and John naturally handed over the Book of the Astral Realm to her.

The moment she received the Book of the Astral Realm, Shatras could feel the level of her sealing spells rapidly advancing.

The surprised expression on Shatras's face was visible to everyone present.

Adam and Blue Sea also wanted to closely observe the Book of the Astral Realm.

However, they were very aware that they were not qualified to use such a Sacred Relic.

If they were to use the Book of the Astral Realm, they themselves wouldn't be able to withstand its immense power.

As top-tier players, they understood that in the game of god- slaying, some Sacred Relics represented immense danger.

Using such Sacred Relics without thorough knowledge was akin to self-destruction.

"No wonder everyone wants to obtain the Book of the Astral Realm; its power is indeed formidable."

Shatras's tone had slightly changed at this moment, her voice even trembling a bit.

As a Legend Magus, she could feel the amplification the Book of the Astral Realm, this Sacred Relic, provided to magical power.

"Yes, everyone desires the Book of the Astral Realm. But once they obtain it, they don't know how to utilize it properly," John agreed, nodding in affirmation of Shatras's statement.

However, feeling the need to appear more profound, he made a remark that left Shatras somewhat puzzled.

After hearing John's words, Shatras didn't say much more.

She immediately began to use her spell to lift the seal, invoking the power of the Book of the Astral Realm in the process.

With the aid of the Book of the Astral Realm, Shatras successfully broke the seal within the Mirror of Mystery.

Duke Arsena and Natasha naturally emerged from the seal.

Besides them, there were other members of the Order Faction sealed within the mirror, including some guards of Storm City and a few of Storm City's rare weapons.

Duke Arsena and Natasha were understandably overjoyed upon their successful escape from the seal.

Their gazes turned directly to John, as they were well aware that their escape from peril was entirely thanks to John's efforts.

Duke Arsena walked up to John, smiling, and said, "You have once again saved our Storm City. Although I did not witness the previous battle personally, I have learned most of the details from Natasha. It's hard for me to imagine that you could stand against two Devils from the Dark Faction.

Storm City will surely express its gratitude. From now on, you can access any area within Storm City. All system facilities you use in our city will be free of charge.

Moreover, should you find yourself in danger, Storm City will undoubtedly come to your aid. After all, as a benefactor of Storm City, this is the least we can do! We in Storm City are not ungrateful!"

Duke Arsena spoke fervently in one breath.

The reason Duke Arsena offered John such substantial rewards was, on one hand, indeed because John had once again saved Storm City.

As the lord of Storm City, it was imperative for Duke Arsena to offer more rewards.

On the other hand, Duke Arsena felt that John had proven that, aside from himself, no one else could ensure the safety of Storm City.

It was crucial for Storm City to maintain a very friendly relationship with John.

Only in this way would John be willing to assist Storm City should it face danger again.

Faced with the series of rewards offered by Duke Arsena, John merely wore a faint smile.

He felt that the rewards he received were quite normal.

Moreover, John was not particularly concerned about the rewards at the moment.

What he was more interested in was why Duke Arsena had disappeared for such a long time.

After all, apart from Natasha, no one knew what had happened to Duke Arsena before.

"Duke, let's hold off on the rewards for now. What I really want to know is why you disappeared for such a long time. Did you encounter a threat from Darklord earlier? Or was there someone who colluded with Darklord, leading you into Darklord's trap?"

The individual John suggested might have collaborated with Darklord is, of course, the Mystery Protector.

After all, the conflict between Darklord and the Mystery Protector is well known to most.

Furthermore, the Mystery Protector has not yet appeared at the teleportation point of Storm City, which could very well mean that the Mystery Protector has chosen to flee back to the capital of the Northern Myst Empire.

If the Mystery Protector has indeed done so, wouldn't that just confirm John's earlier speculation!
