Chapter 821 Secrets of the Golden Key ( 1 )


    Orden wryly smiled after seeing the excited Aersus…


    It appears that Aersus hadn''t realized the danger he was in yet.


    Nheless, Orden continued to y with him. He was unconcerned byAersus''s ferocious assault as he charged forward…


    With a sudden burst of speed, he closed the distance between them, delivering a thunderous kick that echoed through the forest, sendingAersusstaggering back.


    Boom!


    The attack seemed to have woken Aersus back to reality as he condensed his draconic aura around his fists as he nned to fight with everything he had.


    In any case, he knew for himself that he would be able to escape if he truly wanted to… n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    It didn''t take long before the battle had once again reached its new peak as the two dragons locked in deadly closebat… Nheless, the two dragons in human form continued their battle without showing any signs of exhaustion or defeat on both sides.


    ***


    In the meantime, amidst the sh between Aersus and Orden,Mennenafound herself ensnared within aplexTemporal Formation Art, it was an unending web of temporal threads that trapped her ethereal form in its intricate embrace. "Haaa~ This Temporal Formation Art… I think it''s made especially for me… I feel really honored." Mennena said as she cast her nce at the two figures hiding in the shadows.


    Thud. Thud…


    The two then stepped forward after confirming that their trap actually worked.


    "Yes… We made it for you, Mennena…"


    "You''re an Arch Fey for sure… You''re dangerous but we got lucky this time. "


    JinandGiorgi, the Time Maniptors ofVale''s Castle, reveled in their sessful trap, their expressions a mix of satisfaction and apprehension at the presence of the powerful Arch Fey within their midst.


    "Release me now, Time Maniptors… or perhaps, ves of the Shadow Immortal… Haha! I won''t be stealing that Golden Key anymore. I just like to meet your owner, the Shadow Immortal." Mennena said with a chuckle.


    Jin, his eyes glowed with a mischievous gleam, regardedMennena''s plight with a sense of amusement that bordered on arrogance.


    "ves, huh… You can say whatever you want, Mennena… But to think that a being of your caliber would grace our humble abode with your presence. It seemsChad''s warning was not in vain after all," he remarked, his toneced with a hint of condescension.


    Giorgi''s features also show his fascination with the situation since he had never seen an ArchFey until now… They should be extinct already! He didn''t expect that they would still exist in the human realm! "That''s true…"Jinagreed before addressingMennena, his voice tinged with a note of caution.


    "Your reputation precedes you,Mennena. We were fortunate to have the time to prepare for your arrival. TheGolden Keyis safe in our hands, thanks to our diligence," he dered, his gaze unwavering as he held the coveted artifact securely.


    Mennena, her gaze a mix of disdain and defiance, met the Time Maniptors'' words with a steely eyes and spoke coldly.


    "You may think yourselves clever for trapping me but do not mistake my confinement for defeat. Did you not think that I''m just bidding my time, gathering the strength to shatter your temporal prison and reim what is rightfully mine?" She proimed, her voice echoing with a hint of otherworldly power.


    As she said this, however, the two Time Maniptors smiled. They knew that the Arch Fey was bluffing.


    Nheless, Jin needed to keep talking as they also needed information from this Arch Fey.


    He showed his interest inMennena''s words and questioned her motives with a curious tilt of his head. "What drives you to seek theGolden Key,Mennena? What kind of n do you hope to achieve by bargaining with theShadow Immortal?" He inquired, his gaze probing for the truth behind the Arch Fey''s enigmatic intentions.


    Mennena, her expression remained inscrutable, and she metJin''s inquiry with a cryptic retort.


    "The Shadow Immortal''s background is a lot moreplicated than you know. It is not for you toprehend, Time Maniptor." She replied, her eyes shing with a glint of defiance…


    AsMennenaturned her attention to the shimmeringGolden Keyheld securely inGiorgi''s grasp, a flicker of greed crossed her features.


    Unbeknownst to her captors, she began to channel her otherworldly energies as she wanted to have a final attempt to steal the Golden Key!


    However, asMennenastarted breaking the intricateTemporal Formation Artthat trapped her, a powerful and pressuring aura filled the air, signaling the arrival of a new presence within the confines of the room…


    With a ripple in the fabric of reality, a figure wearing a blindfold appeared.


    Without a doubt, it was theShadow Immortal…


    To be exact, it was the Avatar of the Immortal who hadmaterialized before the assembled beings…


    "You''re even more terrifying than I thought…" Mennenamented as she resisted the pressureing from the Immortal.


    His form was like a manifestation of dark power and ancient knowledge that had seen the long history of the human realm.


    "Mhmmm…"


    The Avatar, cloaked in shadows that seemed to dance and writhe around his imposing figure, surveyed the scene before him.


    His presence exuded an aura of foreboding that sent shivers down the spines of three beings in the room. Indeed, even the Time Maniptors felt nervous in front of this Avatar.


    JinandGiorgi, the Time Maniptors, bowed their heads in deference to theShadow Immortal''s Avatar, a gesture of respect tinged with a hint of trepidation at the arrival of their enigmatic master. Mennena, trapped within the confines of theTemporal Formation Art, regarded the Avatar with curiosity and defiance, her gaze didn''t leave the Immortal''s figure and met his inscrutable stare.


    The Avatar''s voice, a deep resonance that seemed to echo from the depths of the void itself, cut through the tense silence that enveloped the courtyard.


    "Mennena, Arch Fey of theMirror Realms, what brings you to my domain seeking theGolden Key."


    He asked, and his words weren''t spoken softly, it contained a pressure that tried to hypnotize the ArchFey!


    Mennena knew this, but she met his gaze fearlessly.


    "Ie seeking a bargain, Shadow Immortal, a pact that may benefit us both in ways... The Golden Key can''t be used many times... You will just waste it at this rate... But I seek to unlock something greater with your cooperation…"
