Chapter 620 - Interplanar Traveler
GDK 620: Interplanar Traveler
Who are you?
These three simple words had given Han Shuo a good fright. Never did he expect that the Holy Grail in the hand of the Pope could actually talk.
“Who are you?” after recovering from the startle, Han Shuo immediately transmitted a message. It was the very same question that the Holy Grail had asked him.
“You are not the master of the Grail. I can tell. In that case, are you a friend or a foe to the Grail’s master?” the awareness inside the soul kept silent for a short moment before replying with a question instead of divulging its identity.
“A foe!” Han Shuo hesitated for a moment and replied succinctly.
Han Shuo had no reason to lie. No matter who was inside the Holy Grail, no matter how mighty it was, Han Shuo had full certainty of escaping unscathed. Since that awareness was inside the Holy Grail, it was most likely being imprisoned in there using special methods. Hence, Han Shuo was frank in his response.
“Very good!” shouted that awareness inside the Holy Grail bluntly. Then, as Han Shuo carefully listened, he hurriedly informed, “Just as you have expected, I’m imprisoned inside this Holy Grail. Although it wasn’t the current master of the Grail that put me in here, he could activate some of my ability using the unique seal of this Grail. The spacetime fissures currently deployed around him were released using my energy. Right, since you are not the master of the Holy Grail, then I must let you know that the master of the Grail is still borrowing my energy. In approximately two minutes, time in this region will be suspended. If you remain, you will not be able to budge and the master of the Grail can capture or kill you as he wishes. There will be no possibility of escaping.”
Han Shuo was shocked. He knew that gods who cultivated in the edict of space indeed had the miraculous ability to suspend time momentarily. The mightier their divine energy, the vaster the range and the longer the duration.
During a duel, especially in a battle between gods, in many cases, one second of negligence could mean the conclusion of the battle. A god with this ability could easily escape from attacks inches away by freezing time and then maiming or slaughtering their enemy before their enemy even knew what happened. This was indeed terrifying.
Unlike that divine knight, this divine light magus had achieved some level of attainment in the cultivation of the soul. After his skull burst apart, just like the old shaman, his soul did not dissipate but tried to struggle free at all costs.
Han Shuo had always been very fond of fellas whose souls didn’t crumble after their physical bodies were dead. This kind of mighty soul was very useful to him. Not only could he refine some demonic weapons with them, but he could also turn them into puppets with wonderful uses, for example, a mystical demon.
There were four levels of demon generals, ranked as follow from the weakest to the strongest – original demon, yin demon, mystical demon, and spirit demon. After the deaths of Han Shuo’s twelve mystical demons, Han Shuo did not refine any new demon general because he wanted to refine the demon general of the highest grade – spirit demon. However, as this grade of demon general possessed an infinite potential to evolve, it had very demanding refining prerequisites.
The most basic ingredient required was a mighty soul. It was impossible to refine a spirit demon even with tens of millions of low-level wraiths. A so-called ‘mighty soul’ was a soul that didn’t disintegrate following the death of their physical body.
Han Shuo was delighted to collect that old shaman’s soul to begin with. Unexpectedly learning that this demigod magus also boasted a mighty soul had further added to his delightment. He smiled sinisterly and flicked a finger. A dark radiance shot out from his fingertip and firmly secured itself to this demigod magus’ soul before pulling it into his Soul Depository Ring.
“You want to escape? Sorry, but I won’t let that happen easily!” Han Shuo chuckled heartily and put away his ring. He was in a very good mood.
After sorting him out, all that was left was the Light Pope in front of him restrained by the Mystical Glacial Spellfire. Han Shuo glanced at the Pope whose brows and hair were covered with frost and unhesitantly snatched that Holy Grail from his hands.
With one pulsation of his consciousness, Han Shuo regained contact with that awareness inside the Holy Grail. He transmitted, “With your help, I have now taken down the master of the Grail. Although I don’t know who you are or where you’re from, in any case, you have been a great help. I say we try to treat each other with sincerity. Who knows what unexpected rewards we could find ourselves gaining from each other. What say you?”
Just by utilizing the power inside the Holy Grail, the Light Pope had formed spacetime fissures around him and was about to suspend time temporarily. From these clues, Han Shuo inferred that the awareness inside the Holy Grail had to be very mighty. Although he had assisted Han Shuo, until he fully grasped the situation, there was no way that Han Shuo would just let him out. In the event that this person harbored malicious intentions, Han Shuo had no certainty of escaping his attacks if he were to be freed.
“Where is this place?” the awareness inside the Holy Grail did not answer Han Shuo’s question but took the initiative to ask about the current situation.
“Ossen City of Lancelot Empire,” Han Shuo was startled for a moment before he answered.
That person inside the Holy Grail kept silent for a moment before asking in a bewildered voice, “I’m asking what material plane this place is on.”
“Profound Continent!” Han Shuo gave a clear-cut answer.
“Never heard of it!” the voice replied succinctly. After that, they both went silent.
After rapidly turning about in his mind, Han Shuo tried asking, “Where do you come from?”
“People who cultivate in the edictal force of space are usually without a fixed residence. We are usually interplanar travelers.”
Han Shuo was speechless. After yet another round of silence, he helplessly asked, “Well then, how did you get imprisoned inside the Holy Grail?”
“I was sealed here by the Gyál, one of the three Keepers of the Light.”
“Keepers of the Light? Guards directly under the Light God?” Han Shuo was shocked.
“That’s right. Gyál is one of the Keepers of the Light, the mightiest subordinates of the Light God. He possesses the strength of late-stage highgod!” the awareness inside the voice replied fiercely. It appeared that he carried an immense grudge towards this Gyál.
