Once the barrier was erected and projected what happened earlier, everyone instantly narrowed their eyes, observing every little movement.


    There were two people at first. It was clear that they were Septa and the nt Lord.


    As soon as Septa sensed the third Superior Demon, he immediately pointed his hand toward this direction while telling the nt Lord what he should do.


    After making sure of the nt Lord''s safety, he finally began intercepting the Superior Demon.


    This was a careful move that should be considered properly. Even though the situation had gone awry, Septa had done his best to keep the nt Lord safe.


    And the nt Lord stayed in this ce for a while. He even used his Spiritual Energy to begin a counterattack.


    However, everything took a weird turn once the nt Lord suddenly stood still. Itsted for a few seconds before his Spiritual Energypletely disappeared. It felt like he never existed in the first ce, confusing everyone.


    "This…" The Stone Lord narrowed his eyes. Shale, on the other hand, turned to Septa and asked, "Since you understand your ability the most… what does this mean, Septa?"


    Septa frowned. "Actually, this is the first time I have encountered this kind of situation."


    On the one hand, Septa was as confused as the other. On the other hand, he couldn''t help but recall what his mentor had said previously. It seemed that his mentor, who also knew about his ability, had prepared something in order to counter his ability.


    ''The executioner is the famous ''Shadow.'' Considering his position, such a thing can happen. But if this is the case, I think I can work around the situation and prove my innocence. This way, the nt Lord will be considered missing and I can try to get a hand on his information, including the rtion with the Supreme Devil Organization.''


    Septa became silent for a moment, falling into deep thought. He nced at Shale and raised three hands. "There are three possibilities such a thing can happen if I understand my own ability correctly.


    "First, this person is dead. But in this case, the Spiritual Energy should remain for a while since the corpse will still release the Spiritual Energy for a while. So, I don''t think the nt Lord is dead."


    "The second possibility is that he ispletely missing. You can say that it''s kind of a Space Ability. If I remember correctly, there was a man who could control Space and teleport from one ce to another… That man came from the neighboring country and etched his name in history."


    "Last but not least, there might be a third method that I''m not aware of. To be honest, I can''t help but believe this can happen, considering I have a hard time tracking the Supreme Devil Organization."


    "Huh?" They became confused.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    ra looked at the first situation as a doctor and said, "That''s right. Death shouldn''t be an option. I mean, even if there was an ambush, the nt Lord wasn''t that easy to defeat. So, the fact that there was no ruckus meant there was no resistance. I didn''t smell any blood around here as well."


    "Then, is it the second one?" Shale asked while exining his reason. "Frankly speaking, I can''t believe the second situation. I have never heard anything about Space Element Spirit for as long as I can remember.


    "And if we connect it to the third option, are you thinking that the Supreme Devil Organization has this kind of power? This will turn the kingdom upside down. And I don''t think the nt Lord is that important enough for other kingdoms to use this kind of trump card… objectively speaking. It''s not that I''m trying to look down on the nt Lord."


    The Stone Lord gritted his teeth and shouted in anger. "What did you say? The Supreme Devil Organization? Are you suspecting us?"


    "I am not suspecting you, Stone Lord. However, I can''t say the same to the nt Lord." Shale shook his head helplessly. Before the Stone Lord released all his anger, he formed another barrier and showed them the record of what happened on the top floor. "This is the record of the nt Lord in the facility."


    He even showed all the details, especially regarding the mushrooms.


    "I have brought back the two mushrooms: Aldiesta Mushroom and Mfeita Mushroom. You should be aware of their purposes, right?" Shale narrowed his eyes.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    "Aldiesta Mushroom… it''s a mushroom that can disturb the flow of Spiritual Energy. If ingested, that person will have a hard time controlling their Spiritual Energy. But this kind of mushroom should have been guarded heavily…" ra frowned.


    "True. The same applies to the Mfeita Mushroom. It''s a mushroom to hide the flow of Spiritual Energy. Say…" Shale looked at Septa. "Don''t you think it''s possible for the nt Lord to use this mushroom to hide from your ability?"


    "!!!" ra widened her eyes in shock.


    Septa furrowed his eyebrows. He wasn''t that sure either. "If he takes out the mushroom, I should be able to record the mushroom''s energy like in this record. And the other possibility is that he has hidden a mushroom in his mouth this whole time. But I don''t think he has that ability, considering he doesn''t realize that I have recorded all his deeds in the facility."


    Septa and ra exchanged looks, wondering what pieces were missing from the puzzle. They didn''t realize that Noel had been manipting everything.


    He had asked Marquis Stargaze to create a domain for this. Obviously, Dimitri had contacted his friend, the former captain of the Demon Beholder Squad. Not only did he get his cooperation, but he also got the information about Septa''s ability from him.


    That was why Noel changed his n. With this, there was no way they would find any trace of the nt Lord. And all that was left was the suspicion about the nt Lord.


    They didn''t realize that they had been ying in Noel''s hand this whole time.
