Chapter 381: Isabella
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As the highest point at the land, the holy mountain was always the first thing that enjoyed the first sunlight each morning.
Blurry aurora had given it a more sacred look. As the sun rose, all the Krakoks knelt down and prayed for their wellbeing.
The holy song came once again from the mountain peak, while hummingbird knights patrolled the sky while dispersing white petals among the crowd to strengthen the solemn atmosphere.
When the sunlight reached the altar, groups of choir singers moved around it into a perfect formation.
A group of clerics in gold-rimmed white robe emerged from the temple above them, led by the old priest.
“Hail the Grand Priest!” People called in perfect unison.
The old man slowly walked onto the platform on one side of the mountain peak and gazed at his people with the look of a religious dominator.
The voice in the Spirit Bond was still ordering him to kill, but he was in no condition to heed that order now.
Angor silently watched as Shadow struggled. There was no doubt that their magic covenant just worked its wonders. Shadow would soon find his heart ripped apart if he didn’t give up on the idea of killing him.
But Isabella’s voice kept alluring Shadow’s mind, which prevented him from thinking rationally. He could not “unthink”, which in turn caused him his terrible fate.
As Shadow yelled painfully, Angor looked up toward the altar again.
“Little girl” Isabella was still smiling eerily on the altar. Time seemed to be frozen around her. The choirs weren’t singing anymore, and none of the Krakoks were moving.
Angor said to her, “I don’t know why you want to kill me, but you might as well come to get me yourself.”
Isabella didn’t answer. She kept urging Shadow to do the work.
“I see,” Angor said with a grimace. “You’re not ‘really’ here, am I right?”
He reached out a hand and released a trace of nightmare aura.
As the aura traveled around, the “frozen” Krakoks immediately began to move again. Meanwhile, Isabella revealed a surprised look before her body broke into fragments.
“Nice illusion… but it’s only something created by a small part of consciousness,” Angor muttered.
Once the illusion was broken, the Krakoks continued their routines again.
The portal was still shining, and it then gave birth to another figure. However, it wasn’t Isabella this time.
Angor looked at Shadow again. With a snap of his fingers, an Acoustic Illusion covered them both.
Shadow’s eyes quickly regained the vividness of sanity.
“Bah!” The man let out a painful breath and tried to endure the lingering pain on his body. “God damn that old hag. Almost died back there. Hey, thanks for the help.”
“She used her voice to hypnotize you. You wouldn’t have fallen for it if you don’t have any wrong ideas in your mind though.”
Shadow stood up without minding Angor’s hint. “Ahem! So someone has come? Oh, so I guessed right. It’s Fiona.”
“Well, whatever. Just remember, you owe me one.”
