775 The Enigmatic Puppeteer

"SALISTER KANE!"

Ren and the others stood in stunned silence as the rogue, who had just revealed himself as Salister Kane, vanished into the shadows.

So this was where he was. Ren thought.

The connection between the Demon King, the Seven Warlords, the Rebellion Army, and Salister Kane left Ren pondering if they belonged to one story and that they were currently adventuring through it.

Ren couldn't help but wonder where this unexpected twist in the story would lead them.

Salister Kane's presence seemed to tie together threads Ren hadn't anticipated. He speculated that the Demon King, the Seven Warlords, and the Rebellion Army were all interconnected, and Salister Kane's was just the catalyst of it all.

Lorelai gnashed her teeth in frustration. "That bastard! So this is where he went!"

"Wait . . . why is Salister even here in this castle in the first place? Why did he turned Avaris in to stone?" Elena questioned, breaking the contemplative silence.

"Maybe he joined the Rebellion Army," Ren offered an explanation. "After all, his dead parents are one of the leaders of the rebellion, right?"

Elena nodded in agreement. "That could be it."

"If he joined the Rebellion Army, then we need to stop this Salister as well," Vivi declared, her eyes focused on the potential threat.

"He had turned Avaris into stone, of course we have to find him and forced him to return Avaris back to normal. With this type of ancient magic, only the caster could undo it." Desira turned her gaze to Azazel, questioning him. "What do you plan to do, my lord? Can you still extract the corruption from Avaris at his state?"

Azazel's response sent shockwaves through the group. "It's already extracted."

The declaration left everyone baffled.

Desira nodded in agreement. "Like I said, whoever made something that could extract that large amount of corruption and contained it on a living host or something similar must be a master alchemist."

Ren considered the possibilities, and suggested, "Should we extract the information from Lethargia? There's nothing showed when the corruption was stolen from Avaris."

Elena and Lorelai's faces brightened at the prospect.

"That's right! Wake that sloth up!" Lorelai exclaimed with newfound enthusiasm. "What she showed us was missing some crucial parts!"

"You're so clever, Ren. Teeheehee. That's my husband for you," Elena said, seizing Ren's hand and purring as she rubbed her cheek against his shoulder.

Evie wasn't going to miss out and did the same thing to Ren while the latter was squash between the two beauties.

"If Lethargia only revealed that part, then there's nothing more we can do," Vivi stated, a hint of disappointment in her voice.

Perplexed, Lorelai inquired, "What do you mean?"

Desira patiently explained, "Someone must have used an item to block that part. There must be someone else other than Salister Kane in there, the one who extracted the corruption when Avaris turned to stone."

"You can do that?" Elena asked. "Can you block a seer's ability to recall the past? But if that's the case . . ."

Desira nodded knowingly. "This someone was prepared and must have known about Lethargia's abilities."

Azazel and Vivi's expressions turned grim, while Lethargia even managed to crack open an eye.

"In the Netherworld, only a few knew about Lethargia's abilities, given that she's mostly a recluse who spends her days sleeping in her room. Most of them are either dead or too old to recall anything about her," Desira explained.

"However, all of the seven warlords perfectly knew Lethargia's abilities from inside and out."

"D-don't tell me . . ." Ren and the others dreaded the next words that would escape Desira's lips next.

Desira closed her eyes momentarily, as if struggling to believe it herself. "Someone who is a master Alchemist, knew about the corruption and even Avaris's personality, and familiar with Lethargia . . . there's no doubt about it, it could only be Malifira, the Warlord of Envy."
