Chapter 643 616-I Must Be Deceiving You
Both the Mystery Protector and Shatras were taken aback by the current situation.
Despite employing various methods, the Mystery Protector found himself unable to break the seal at the door.
"Why is this happening?! With such formidable power at my disposal, why am I sealed here?!"
A mix of pain and astonishment echoed from the twisted form of the Mystery Protector.
Nearby, John observed the scene with a serene demeanor.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
Realizing John's composed expression, the Mystery Protector suddenly grasped that this might have been a trap deliberately set by John.
"Is this a trap you set?! Did you intentionally plan to confine me here? You damned adventurer, I should have eliminated you the first time we met!"
The Mystery Protector's furious voice reverberated throughout South Harbor.
Even the NPCs within the buildings of South Harbor felt the wrath of the Mystery Protector, opting to stay inside their homes and not venture out.
Upon hearing the angry outburst of the Mystery Protector, Twilight and Hammer grew concerned.
However, their trust in John prevailed, and they deduced that the Mystery Protector must be in a predicament to express such rage.
John maintained his calm facade while facing the Mystery Protector.
"You seem to overestimate my capabilities! You had an overly high estimation of my strength from our first encounter. I'm merely an adventurer; how could I possibly set a trap for you beneath the magus tower of the Ocean Sage?"
John's words were indeed very reasonable.
The Mystery Protector could somewhat understand that this trap was indeed not set by John.
If not by John, then the most plausible architect was the Ocean Sage himself.
Given the understanding between the Ocean Sage and the Mystery Protector, why would the former set a trap for the latter?
The Mystery Protector mulled over this conundrum for an extended period without reaching a conclusion.
After a quick review to ensure everything was in order, the Mystery Protector signed the contract, which was immediately validated by the system.
The Mystery Protector stripped away all his powers, reverting to his human form.
The powers he relinquished converged into a white candle, which the Mystery Protector then tossed to John.
"The power I possessed is contained within this candle, found by the Ocean Sage in the deep sea. It seems to harbor the power of the Sea God and other unknown forces. The Ocean Sage once used this candle to fend off an invasion from the Northern Myst Empire. However, the power of this candle can erode members of the Order Faction. I would never have resorted to its power had you not driven me to such a dire situation."
Having fulfilled the terms of the contract by handing over the candle, the Mystery Protector also shared its origin.
Holding the candle, John felt an odd sensation, neither cold nor warm, a mix of chill with an undercurrent of warmth, and vice versa.
"Enough with examining the candle! I've kept my promise, now you must fulfill yours. Should you break the contract, you will suffer the consequences of its backlash," the Mystery Protector urged John, pressing him to uphold his end of the agreement.
After pocketing the candle, John looked at the Mystery Protector with a smile, "Of course, I'll lift your seal. But, I'll do so 100 years from now."
With those words, John turned to leave.
Shatras was quite surprised by John's actions but delighted to see the Mystery Protector meet such a fate.
"John, come back here! You dare deceive me? Aren't you worried about the backlash of the contract?!" The Mystery Protector's voice echoed from behind the barrier of the door.
John, already at the entrance of the tunnel, turned back with a smile and addressed the Mystery Protector, "Indeed, I am deceiving you. And deceiving you costs me nothing! I haven't violated the contract, as it doesn't specify when I must lift your seal. As promised, I will remove the seal binding you in 100 years. As a Legend Magus, you should be able to live for another century, right?"
After these words, John, accompanied by Shatras, left the magus tower of the Ocean Sage.
Behind them, the Mystery Protector's roars of regret continued, lamenting his misplaced trust in John and his failure to scrutinize the contract thoroughly.
If the Mystery Protector had scrutinized the contract more carefully, he wouldn't have found himself in this predicament.
"John, I will make you pay! You cannot defeat a Mystery Saint! The Saints of Mystery and the Devils of the Dark Realm will surely come to my rescue!"
The Mystery Protector abandoned all pretense.
Given that most already knew of his allegiance to the Mystery faction and the Dark Faction, he resorted to using these affiliations to threaten John.
Although his attempts were ultimately unsuccessful, he still managed to instill a sense of unrest in John for a time.
