Four Split Personalities

1131: Chapter 521: The Fourth Apocalypse 1131: Chapter 521: The Fourth Apocalypse Cordova must have had his reasons for wanting to stay at the small tribunal, although he didn’t say so, both Motan and Yu Chen were acutely aware of this.

But since the most powerful Xiao Yu was willing to stay, neither of them had any objection.

Anyway, even if there were any dangers, with Cordova’s skills, it’s unlikely that anything would go wrong, so they were very at ease.

But Cordova himself was panicking!

Yes, despite appearing calm as an old dog on the surface, his heart was in utter chaos!

The problem lay in that cell with nothing but a drifting black fog…

Although he had initially come to join the excitement and gaze upon the so-called ‘monster’ that was said to closely resemble Motan, as soon as he entered the third basement level of the small tribunal, Cordova had been feeling a faint…

sense of horror.

At first, he didn’t know what the cause was and wishedfully thought it was because of the environment of the small tribunal.

It was, after all, a place where various prisoners were held, and even if it was well-kept, the atmosphere was bound to be lacking, so he didn’t take it to heart.

Then, he suspected the issue might be with the remains in the opposite cell.

A corpse invariably subconsciously burdens one’s psyche, especially half of a body with such a tragic end.

In this world where souls exist and resentment can even take form, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say there would be unpleasant lingering spirits aplenty.

But Cordova soon rejected his suspicion because when he bravely endured the disgust (and with Minor Sensory Protection activated) to closely examine the remains, he didn’t find anything wrong.

Knowing the capabilities of his Rune Body were quite comprehensive, with Master Lu’s all-out efforts, if there were something ‘unclean’ or capable of posing a threat to him, Cordova, equipped with a plethora of sensory and passive scanning devices, would have no reason not to notice.

It wasn’t until later, perhaps due to some innate guidance, that Cordova suddenly saw the light and recalled an incident that seemed to have nothing to do with the current situation, an incident he had desperately wanted to forget.

It was a gloomy day…

In a kingdom to the southwest of the Innocent Continent, the mighty him…

encountered an invincible him.

Because of the circumstances at the time and the fact the other person didn’t look like a good guy at all, Cordova decided to kill that man.

He brandished his staff, overloaded his runes, and put everything into a strike.

Which was casually blocked by the other with an outstretched hand.

And then he was casually lifted up by the other’s single hand.

Finally, the overwhelmingly powerful monster flicked a finger, releasing something resembling a flash, creating a thirty-centimeter hole in him, and attempted to negotiate.

Cordova chose death over submission!

And then he died.

Clearly, this is a sad story…

Because this incident was too humiliating and he had boasted quite a lot when playing with his friends, even during a New Year’s gathering, Cordova had always been vague about his first death after becoming a Rune Creation.

Aside from Ji Xiaodao, who had witnessed the whole process, the others didn’t pay much attention, and naturally, Cordova himself wanted to forget about that misfortune.

Unfortunately, although he ultimately succeeded in selectively forgetting that incident, the engrained humiliation, helplessness, and uncomfortable sensation had never truly disappeared.

Any slight trigger could bring that buried memory back to life.

So, when Cordova looked again at that lifeless black fog, he finally remembered.

That barely perceptible sensation of horror was strikingly similar to the feeling he had that day in a certain Empire on the Southwestern Continent…

After realizing this, Cordova shivered covertly, unnoticed by Motan and Yu Chen.

Later to prove to himself that he was just scaring himself, that it was impossible for there to be a monster that powerful and unreasonable here, he volunteered to stay behind, willingly keeping an eye on the cell with the black fog that was said to occasionally take on a human form.

Of course, while he claimed he wanted to prove something, Cordova had another primary objective, which was to use the Revelation Crystal for confirmation, should he actually see something that felt terribly wrong.

After all, having sensed that aura on the Northwestern Continent and successfully discovered the presence of an “Apocalypse Shadow,” if the being held here indeed possessed the same nature, and that same nature was the common trait amongst the Apocalypse Shadows, wouldn’t it be perfect to complete the mission in one fell swoop by finding that last light and shadow?

As for whether that so-called monster would be incredibly powerful, capable of instantly killing him without a word, Cordova saw through it quite clearly.

Although it wasn’t impossible, from his observation, the security measures of this place called the small tribunal were actually quite poor, and the effectiveness of the low to middle rank Divine Arts restrictions was quite limited.

If that monster was truly as powerful as that masked man, possessing the strength to kill him instantly, then this small dungeon could never contain him.
