Chapter 928
(Unedited)
…
While flying to the Duke's castle, Shin Jiao is carefully checking the mysterious totem in his hand. He grabbed this totem from the Duke before he left. It is very mysterious as right now no matter how hard he checks it, this totem is like any ordinary thumb-sized totem made of dark wood material.
But the thing that baffled him the most is that no matter if he uses his absolute sense, spiritual sense, or divine sense he could not penetrate the surface of the totem.
This thing has baffled him ever since he held this thing in his hand.
"Hmm… Maybe it is using blood contract…" he thought.
Without hesitation, a drop of blood seeped out of his pore and it floated to the black wooden totem.
Once his blood made in contact with the totem a strange thing happened.
Shin Jiao's mind was taken to an unknown place, and because of this his body fell from the sky and crashed on the castle ground.
…
"Hmm… Where is this place?" he thought as all he could see is all white.
He tried flying but he could not use any of his power in this place. He tried to use his abilities but to no avail.
"This is bad…" he muttered as he looks around him.
"Hello! Anybody here!" he called trying to determine if there are entities in this place.
If he is to face any entity in this place then he would be able to at least face them and know his enemy. But being alone and having no clue at all what is happening is something that he did not want to happen.
He is currently clueless about what is happening, so he is feeling a bit alarmed and distressed.
"Is this my… soul…" he thought as he suddenly found out that he is not wearing anything and that his body is semitransparent in nature.
"This is different from the virtual world that I have created in the immortal land. But how come that I am sent in this unknown plane?"
Since discovering the truth of the matter is Shin Jiao now knew what is happening. It seems that his soul was sucked inside the totem. And the only way to get out of this situation is something that he knew how.
But he is not about to go out yet as he is a bit curious about this place.
He began to write something in the air. It was advanced runes that he learned in the soul mainframe of the immortal land.
"Let's start with search pattern…" he muttered as a glow suddenly appears in the air.
When it appears he suddenly feels a strong presence within the vicinity. As Shin Jiao continue to display the search pattern of the environment he is in, the whole white space suddenly blurred out. Then a huge glowing eye appears in front of him.
This scene almost made Shin Jiao jump in shock.
He did not expect to see such a thing.
Then that eye slowly retreated until a huge head which belongs to a gigantic beautiful woman appears in his sight. Shin Jiao could not help but gasp as he feels creeped out of the situation he is in right now.
"Who… Who are you?" he asked as the woman's gigantic body slowly receded in the background.
Then it did not take long before he could see that the woman is running away with a smiling face while being chased by a man.
When Shin Jiao saw the face of that man, he immediately knew who he is. That guy is Duke Malin Guard.
The happy couple is running in a wide green field happily, as they cuddled, kissed, and share a loving time together.
He could tell that the Duke and the woman are happy.
"Memory fragments…" he muttered.
"That is the reason why my psychokinesis is unable to affect him. It is because of this… memory?" he thought feeling a little bit confused.
"No… it is not the memory… It is because of that woman's love to him."
He looks at the search panel and from there he saw that this totem contains multiple memories of the woman and the Duke.
"I guess, this might have proven me wrong… She does want to keep their memory… Hmm, this is interesting… I guess that's how it works…" Shin Jiao said as his figure suddenly vanished from the spot.
…
Shin Jiao slowly opens his eyes and he found himself looking at an unfamiliar ceiling.
He slowly looks around him and saw a beautiful yet familiar face with her head resting on Shin Jiao's arm beside the bed.
"Im Jae? How? How did she get here?" he thought as he looks around.
As if sensing his movement Im Jae's closed eyes suddenly open as she lifted her head.
"Master Shin…" she said as she happily looks at Shin Jiao.
"Master Shin, you're awake at last!" she said with traces of tears in her eyes.
"Yeah, yeah… I'm awake now… What is happening?" Shin Jiao asked feeling a bit confused.
"You've been asleep for almost 10 days… Miss Luna told us that your soul seems to be not present but your body is still functioning. So she told us not to do anything and just wait. I… I was really worried about you… So…" Im Jae said while her tears began falling.
"Sigh… Don't cry… I'm fine now." Shin Jiao said while patting her head.
"Hmm… What is happening outside? The city seems a bit… lively?" Shin Jiao muttered as he suddenly scanned his surroundings.
"Umm… For these days, the merchant association president, after calling us, began reforming the city… We agree with his plan to revive Zepa city. But… we met some resistance. Some mages coming from outside wanted to forcefully enter the city and get the resources of the mage towers in it. But Mr. Marcus Jing did not let them… So now a fight is happening outside. Big brother Xiamen Gong and the rest are outside… if a conflict begins, they would be ready…"
"Hmm… Alright… Let's head to the walls…" Shin Jiao said as he stood up from the bed.
"Master… Don't you need to rest more?"
"I'm rested enough. It's time to start my plans to revive this city. But first, we have to take care of those annoying mages…"
As Shin Jiao said that, he walks out of the room and the people who saw him showed surprised expressions on their faces.
How could they not be surprised? This guy is well-known in the city for being the person who freed them. Aside from gratitude everyone really respected him for what he did.
At this time, atop the walls, the pudgy Marcus Jing looks at the envoys from the mage towers coming from the next city 5 days away from Zepa City.
"Marcus Jing! I want you to surrender the city to the mages… We need to investigate what really happened in Zepa City!" shouted a mage with silver hair and a thick silver beard.
"We have been patient and waited in here for 3 days already. If you do not let us in, then we will force our way inside the city no matter what the cost is! We also want the guy who killed the Duke! He must pay for what he did!"
"Yeah! We need to follow the law! We need to capture that guy!"
"We should follow the rules of the kingdom if not then we are no more than the hooligans and the bandits!"
"Surrender the culprit!"
"Surrender the culprit!"
The mages shouted outside the walls of Zepa City.
"You hypocrites! When the people of the city are suffering, you did not make your move! When people are asking for help you did not raise your finger. Now that the city is freed from the tyranny of the Duke you dare look for us for trouble and even want the benefactor of the city to surrender! Do you think that we are fools!" shouted one of the soldiers.
The corrupted soldiers have already died in the uprising of the people. And so in 10 days, the city has hired many who are able to fight as soldiers of the city.
"You have no proof of that! You just claim as such. We cannot trust your words since you are from this city… We need concrete proof of what really happened. If not, then we will storm the city today!" shouted the old mage.
Suddenly, from the wall of the city facing a large number of mages outside a huge square hologram appears.
Then the face of Yuma was seen along with his treacherous words. The conversation between him and the Duke and everything that Shin Jiao has seen in the city was shown.
Then the battle between Shin Jiao and the Duke was seen through the perspective of Shin Jiao. It was concrete evidence of what the Duke has done and his conspiracy with a powerful Dark Mage.
When they saw the face of the Dark Mage Gan Warbread, all of the mages outside began to shiver. How could they not be afraid of the strongest Dark Mage in the history of the Xinglo Kingdom?
