Chapter 2816 Sessful!


    The ritual of receiving a crown from a Devil or an aspirant to be a Devil was simple, but dangerous for the receiving party. The greatest risk was that they would fall into the hands of an unscrupulous being who could even remove all their freedom.


    After all, the hell crown had the power to take over the mind of its user. Unless someone possessed exceptional mental strength or was freed by a superior, there was a high likelihood that the absorption would alter the mind of that person.


    Mylecent moved on, feeling her existence shake inside her own body as her necromancer senses intensified. She managed to partially block the restrictive effects of the crown, but still felt part of her mind being taken over by a silent darkness, which merely made her feel reverence and obligation towards the blue-haired figure in front of her.


    But as she felt this, her power fluctuated upwards, enhancing her to such a degree that Ysolt, the one who knew Mylecent best, looked at her with an expressive countenance on her face.


    "That..."


    "No," Minos said as he warned the group that, however promising Mylecent''s growth seemed, it wouldn''t be enough for her to reach the 13th stage. "She''ll reach the critical point for advancing a stage, but she won''t advance. However, that''s not a bad thing. We''re not in the right ce for her to advance, and she''ll now have a chance to progress in no time."


    Tempers calmed down as Mylecent remained crouched in front of Abby, finishing digesting the improvements to both her soul and her body.


    Even though she didn''t advance, she felt much stronger, fully healed of her old injuries and with a more advanced understanding of her specialty.


    When she stood up, afterpleting the absorption of the crown, she was 100% in control of herself, enjoying the same freedom that Minos had given Gloria and Ruth.


    Abby had no interest in suppressing Mylecent.


    But Mylecent had no territory under hermand, which wouldn''t give her the capabilities of Gloria and Ruth, let alone those of Minos and Abby.


    "Thank you for the opportunity," she said in a serious tone, acting very different from when she had met them in the past.


    "What do you intend to do now?" Minos asked her, unconcerned about fleeing the capital city. By now, their group had left the river they were sailing on and entered the open sea.


    In a few more minutes, they would be totally untraceable!


    "You said you''d find a ce for me..." She said, not knowing exactly what to do, mainly because she didn''t know what he had in mind.


    Minos said, "Yes, but I''ll leave you and our men in this ce where you can get back to your ns. Obviously, you need to adjust your ns to the current circumstances, but I won''t stand by you.


    Once we''ve sorted out this whole situation of finding a ce for you, my group will travel for a while again. We''ll be inessible to you." He pointed out that this group didn''t count on them. N?v(el)B\\jnn


    "I thought we could fight side by side atst," Mylecent said with a grimace.


    "Not now. As I said, we have problems with someone much stronger than Eternal Death. We need to strengthen ourselves quickly outside of Hell... That won''t be in Uzira, I''m afraid." He concluded this matter.


    Ysolt looked at her leader and suggested. "Let''s stay in seclusion for a while to calm the situation of the rebels and the royal forces. Eternal Death must be enraged by now. It''s not good to risk taking action at this time."


    "Hmm, I agree." Mylecent didn''t underestimate Eternal Death, despite her current situation and all her knowledge of Uzira''s truth.


    Ysolt continued, "Let''s retreat and organize the group. When the time is right for us to act, we can go to Hell for you to conquer territories and advance stages."


    "Won''t that be dangerous?" Ruth asked.


    Abby shook her head. "Mylecent already knows Hell and knows how to enter through an alternative area to the one we use. And even if she''s connected to me, there won''t be any problems. My enemies don''t know how to chase me, so they won''t be able to get to her just because of this connection... Anyway, the danger for her will be the same as she''s always faced by going there."


    "But now she''ll be able to conquer territories and quickly strengthen herself," Minos said as he approved this n. "Go ahead and stick to this n. And don''t wait for us. As soon as you feel ready, develop your actions with the rebels and our men.


    Armhands will support you in our absence."


    None of the five rebels on that boat underestimated what Minos had said. The strength he showed in this escape was enough for them to believe that the guild could even contribute to their ns.


    "Where exactly are you going?" Ysolt asked, annoyed at not being able to check on Minos'' future.


    He looked at the orange-haired woman andughed, wondering if he should say something.


    He sighed and decided to tell the truth. "Actually, I don''t have a specific destination. I''m going to the Violent Sea, that''s our first stop. But after that, I honestly don''t know where we''ll go. But there is a possibility that we''ll leave Zocarro for a while."


    That wasn''t exactly something they wanted to hear. Leaving Zocarro meant they would bepletely out of reach.


    But it was clear from their expressions that there was no alternative. The possibility of being hunted by a level 128 True Celestial was terrifying and they really had to do everything they could, including risking themselves at this difficult moment.


    "Well then, I can only wish you good luck," Ysolt said after Mylecent said something simr.


    "And the same to us." Gloria sighed, as the group was finally sailing the high seas towards the new ce of refuge for the rebels.


    Minos guided the Hell Lifelings so as to follow the best route to escape possible investigators looking for them, heading towards a calmer area of the continent. The stretch of sea they were traveling through wasn''t as dangerous as the depths of the Violent Sea, but even in that sea, they wouldn''t be too worried. Everyone there was strong enough to challenge the mighty sea that separated Oqia and Uzira.


    So they would travel for the next few days, without worrying about the royal family, who really couldn''t catch them even if they tried hard to catch them. Eventually, they would dock on the northwest coast, from where they would continue their journey bynd.
