Endless Debt

Bologue suddenly stopped in his tracks, then grabbed Palmer, who was puzzled. Bologue reached out and covered his mouth.

"You..."

Bologue looked at him with a serious expression, and Palmer immediately fell silent. Before anyone else could notice anything unusual, suddenly the shadow beneath Bologue’s feet silently began to boil, surging and engulfing both Bologue and Palmer in an instant.

The two disappeared from where they stood, leaving only a patch of shadow that blended into the surroundings. The attendant’s gaze swept over, noticing nothing amiss, nor realizing that two people were missing from the team.

...

Nesanel passed through layers of defenses and entered the Supreme Hub. It wasn’t his first time in this giant tower, but regrettably, on previous visits, he hadn’t explored it thoroughly. He didn’t have a clear understanding of the layout of the Supreme Hub.

But as ignorant as one might be, watching the digits on the elevator descend, Nesanel understood that the elevator’s destination was unlikely to be the Ancestral Council’s location.

"Where are we going?" Nesanel asked calmly.

"Nest Core, the location of the Ancestral Council," the Duke of Conquest replied.

Nesanel sighed, looking at the other with a hint of helplessness, "I don’t like being deceived."

"This is the Supreme Hub. Please cooperate a bit, Deputy Director," the Duke of Conquest said expressionlessly.

Without any warning, Nesanel suddenly lashed out, seizing the Duke of Conquest’s throat and forcefully pinning him against the wall.

With immense impact, the front wall dented backwards, rubbing violently against the shaft wall. The entire elevator roared and trembled, sparks flying.

The attendants around them hesitated not a moment, immediately drawing swords from their waists, positioning them at Nesanel’s throat. Just as they were about to strike, the Duke of Conquest raised a hand, stopping all action.

"Calm down, everyone."

The Duke of Conquest forced a painful smile, blood staining between his teeth, "The Deputy Director is just teasing me."

"Teasing?"

Nesanel’s wrist applied gentle pressure; if he wished, he could break the Duke’s throat at any time. Yet, the Duke raised both hands in a gesture of surrender.

"Deputy Director, I know you have many opinions about us, but must we do this?" the Duke of Conquest persuaded.

Doubt flickered in Nesanel’s gaze, yet the strength in his wrist didn’t weaken in the slightest. Nesanel was never one to be soft-hearted.

At that moment, the elevator reached its destination. Before the gate could open, Nesanel felt the rich Ether emanating from the other side.

"Ether Furnace?"

Just as Nesanel began to suspect, a dazzling aurora burst from the Duke of Conquest’s body. He suddenly swung his arm, and the Sharp Swords at Nesanel’s neck all slashed down.

The brilliant ether exploded in the depths of the Land of Secrets, scorching flames like erupting lava rampaging upward through the elevator shaft, destroying everything in its path.

Behind the gates, flames spewed out, attendants’ figures disintegrating in the light, bodies charred to ashes, and even the Blades melted into molten iron dripping onto the ground.

The Duke of Conquest, steaming and alight, crashed heavily to the ground. Despite the aurora enveloping him, large patches of his skin were mercilessly burned, charred.

He quickly scrambled up from the ground, only to see a shadow stepping forth from the flames.

"I’ve always been curious how you plan to deal with me. This boring trap is all you have?"

Nesanel tore away the scorched cloth from his body, revealing a scarred yet strong physique.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve run out of patience for pretending with you."
