The Crow Feather Prophet didn’t think about this question for too long.

After all, this wasn’t the time to think about this, and the Sealing Chamber was definitely no place to think about this.

He bypassed the dense magic traps around him and the mighty magic chanters. He passed through countless strict defenses in the shadows and arrived unimpeded beside the Mad Box at the end of the Sealing Chamber.

The Crow Feather Prophet suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked at the seal over the Mad Box.

He was the first person among the Crows to reach this place in so many years.

The Mad Box was a hexagonal metal box that had been welded to the ground. The images of the six Demon Generals under Absurdity Jester were carved on every surface of the box.

Paranoia, Anxiety, Depression, Emptiness, and Terror, as well as Mania, who was welded to the ground.

They symbolized the six emotions that drove people crazy. At the same time, they were the six embodiments of Absurdity Jester’s strength.

The entire platform was connected to the Astral Lighthouse. The mana drawn from the Astral Circuit into Currere followed the structure of the tower and gathered on the seal on the box. Then, a pitch-black crow feather floating above the box provided the necessary suppression.

Compared to the countless precautions elsewhere in the Sealing Chamber, there were no restrictions or defense barriers around the Mad Box because they were worried that mana of different natures would interfere with the seal itself.

The Crow Feather Prophet seemed to be able to hold the soul fragment in his hand as long as he reached out.

But he couldn’t.

Being in the shadows, he couldn’t do anything other than use shadow spells of the same nature. He couldn’t even touch the soul fragment.

If he wanted to obtain it, he had to take off the Crown of Original Darkness on his chest.

When the time came, he would be exposed inside the Sealing Chamber and end up facing all the forces within.

At the same time, he couldn’t use Teleportation to leave immediately after obtaining the fragment because the entire Sealing Chamber had a spatial restriction seal.

Presiding Judge, I hope your judgment is correct.

After a while, the Crow Feather Prophet took a deep breath and removed the Crown of Original Darkness.

The peak Master-level magic chanter sitting in the middle of the Sealing Chamber meditating suddenly opened his eyes.

Then, he saw the person holding the pitch-black illusory crow feather tightly in his hand.

After the tower guardian heard that the holy relic used to seal the holy box had been stolen, she left the person in the Astral Observatory, turned into a shadow, and quickly rushed in the direction of the Sealing Chamber.

When she arrived at the entrance of the tower, she realized that William, who had been in the Astral Observatory, was already standing there waiting for her.

She didn’t even have the chance to ask how the other party had teleported here. She pulled the person-in-charge of the Sealing Chamber aside and asked in agitation,

“What’s going on with the sealing holy relic being stolen? Didn’t I already ask you to raise the security levels two notches up?”

“M’lady, there was a…”

The person-in-charge explained in detail what had happened in the Sealing Chamber in fear.

An unknown man had secretly bypassed all the guards and infiltrated the Sealing Chamber. He also removed the holy relic from the Mad Box without alerting anyone.

It was unimaginable that such a thing would happen.

However, the other party accidentally exposed himself just as he was about to leave the Sealing Chamber. The Sealing Chamber guards immediately chased after him when they saw the holy relic in his hand. It was then that the other party disappeared outside the door once again.

At this point, the person-in-charge looked at the constantly gloomy expression on the tower guardian’s face and immediately made a suggestion.

“M’lady, we’ll mobilize all the manpower in the fortress area to replace him immediately…”

“What for!? How’s the situation in the Sealing Chamber now?” the tower guardian roared angrily.

Since the other party could stroll through the heavily guarded Astral Lighthouse as if it were his backyard, they wouldn’t be able to replace him in the messy Blacklight City even if they worked themselves to their deaths.

The most pressing thing was to face the Divine Realm Demon General, Mania.

“Everyone in the Sealing Chamber has been evacuated. The 77 spare seal nexuses have also been activated. Mania hasn’t broken out yet,” the person immediately said.

William suddenly said, “A breakout is only a matter of time. As the strongest Lunar Monster below the Void Sovereigns, you can forget about imprisoning Demon Generals with just the sealing nexuses.”

The tower guardian glanced at him fiercely.

However, she also knew that the other party was right. Without the suppression of the holy relic, it was impossible to produce a complete seal unless the scale of mana was large enough to produce a qualitative change.

She took a deep breath and gritted her teeth.

“Follow our plans and immediately contact… the Astral Council to inform them of the situation here. Then, everyone in the fortress area will enter a combat readiness state. Before the Senate’s reinforcements arrive, we have to ensure that the Astral Lighthouse remains intact!”

When she mentioned making contact, she hesitated slightly.

This was because once this matter was exposed to the Astral Council, it meant that all her efforts over the past five years would be in vain. Even if she broke through to the Legendary domain, it meant the end of her family’s position in the Senate.

“You’re sending them to their deaths,” William said.

Then, he ignored the other party’s murderous gaze and continued, “Converted to the strength of a magic chanter, Mania from a thousand years ago was a genuine peak Divine Realm. Moreover, as a Lunar Monster, the physical strength it creates in Currere is much stronger than that of humans. People below Legendary aren’t even qualified to watch this battle. There’s no point in staying here. What you should be doing now is to evacuate everyone here immediately before the seal is completely removed.”

After hearing William’s analysis, she seemed to calm down significantly. After a few seconds, she said, “If I’m not wrong, you have peak Legendary strength, right?”

The other party could use Teleportation under the restrictions of the Astral Lighthouse. This at least meant that he had magical power control that was close to the Divine Realm.

Unfortunately, he never had the chance to take the last step under the Astral Laws.

William shrugged and said, “Something like that.”

“Then, enter the Sealing Chamber with me and continue reinforcing the seal until reinforcements from the Astral Council arrive.”

William looked troubled.

“Don’t worry, I’ll do the main work. The scale of the mana I can mobilize in this tower can reach the Divine Realm. Moreover… although I don’t know your background, as long as this matter is successfully resolved, I’ll include your contributions in my report. The Astral Council has never mistreated true geniuses.”

William seemed to hesitate for a few seconds before nodding.

Then, the tower guardian looked at the person in charge of the Sealing Chamber and said, “Hurry up and evacuate everyone in the fortress to Blacklight City…”

She paused as if she was thinking about something. Then, she said, “Don’t let the Battle Mage Order and the Spellblades stay idle after entering the city. According to the intelligence we’ve gathered, eradicate the Moon Realm parish called the Gift Church. Perhaps the person who stole the holy relic is among them.”

“M’lady, what about the logisticians? We can’t possibly let them participate in the mission together, right?” the person asked hesitantly.

Other than the combatants, there were also many logisticians in the fortress area, including people from the Enchantment Association and the Alchemy Association.

“When the time comes, the situation in the city will probably turn very messy. Should I leave some people behind to protect them?”

He continued asking.

“Why don’t we teleport the non-combatants to a safe place?” William suggested to the hesitant tower guardian.

With that said, he took out six azure Void Crystals and a Demon Sealing rune with sealed coordinates from a spatial rift.

“A safe place? Where is that?”

She looked at the six Void Crystals in shock.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that six of such huge Void Crystals were priceless.

“I previously set up a Teleportation coordinate south of the Grief Mountains. We can get the non-combatants to hide there first.”

As he spoke, he handed the item to the person-in-charge, whose hands were trembling.

“Wh… You’re giving me such a precious thing…” he stuttered.

“I’m lending it to you.” William added and said, “Hurry up and bring the non-combatants there to take refuge. This place might turn into hell on earth in the next second.”

The person looked at the tower guardian in fear. The latter nodded and said, “Just do as he says.”

The other party only provided the casting medium and coordinates. The one casting the spell was one of her forces. The other party couldn’t interfere with the stability of the portal remotely, so there wasn’t any danger involved.

Moreover, there was no reason for someone who didn’t mind taking out six Void Crystals to covet these enchanters and alchemists.
