Omni-Mastery

Chapter 356 - Revelation



"How did you find this place, Blade? Did you actually plan that long ago…?"

The black-bearded Crane's expression turned passive once more as he ignored the blue haired youth, staring at Blade as he inquired, this place was supposedly isolated both mentally and visually, unless someone came from the inside, he wouldn't be able to access it. Now that he somehow calmed down again and felt that there wasn't much that he could do now, he wanted to at least know how he could have missed up.

"I wish I could reply with yes to that, unfortunately, I was too blinded by my emotions to realize what you were doing... it's only thanks to him that I saw your true form…"

Blade's look still had its angry, unpleased vibe but he simply shrugged at Crane's question as he turned to look at the blue haired youth who stood by his side.

"You?"

Crane looked back at the youth who had somehow broke out of the 'Mark Devourer' shackles as his eyes flashed with a dread light, he may have overreacted earlier but he still believed that Blade had lent the pest some help to achieve that, but it appeared that he was severely mistaken

`~~`~~`~~`

"You?"

"Well, I believe it should have been you or one of your underlings that pushed me, you shouldn't have given me the key to that base."

Looking back at the confused demon, I replied calmly, it took quite a bit of time and stress to reach this point, so I felt that it was only appropriate that I flaunted a bit.

It was truly thanks to whoever delivered the Earthen set to the auction in hope to send the key to that base, the base without which I wouldn't have grabbed the attention of the demons nor would I have met Sprout who gave me a major piece of information which the plan that currently reached its end phase was based at.

Taking into consideration the fact that only one certain group of four left Battle City after the auction, it would only be a matter of time before I would be discovered, especially with how the other four had little recollection of what happened, I decided to use it as an opportunity instead!

Making a detour and arriving late to Battle City allowed me to put all the attention on myself as well as collect more information which allowed me to consolidate my plan and achieve the first step of it, catching the demons' attention as the one who sabotaged one of their bases.

Following that, I directly joined the 'Elemental Blade Sect', the sect containing the demon seed coordinator currently standing before me, giving him a fake feeling that I was under his grasp while I worked my way to meet my target, sect master Blade by establishing my 'Outstanding' value.

'I can't handle all the demons on my own after all…'

Being capable of taking down one base meant nothing considering the fact that they were likely making the same preparation for other bases, just like I had to use the aid of the Lightning Empire in the Light Domain, I had to use the help of the world of sects to neutralize the threat of the demons before they would turn the domain into a war zone.

As such, as soon as I was able to meet Blade, the main candidate for guiding the world of sects against the threat of the demons, I more or less explained the whole situation to him as well as the fact that there was a tumor-like demon seed within his sect, and asked to be given the chance to prove it by risking myself while only asking for little help.

Although I was half-exposed that I had some ulterior motives from the very beginning, in the end, I managed to partially convince Blade who already had some guesses himself and thus achieved the second step of the plan, convincing the sect master of my trial plan as well as obtain some failsafe items for the sake of the double trap.

"So you knew all along the reason behind the mission…?"

"Mhm, you catch up quickly. Too bad it's too late for you."

Naturally, me not even protesting for receiving the strange mission was part of the plan, just like how Blade pretended he didn't meet me nor care about my talent for the short term was another part of the plan, I was already aware of the possibility that I would fall at the very end of the mission.

That was exactly why I asked for the failsafe items, which consisted of a life-saving artifact which would protect me for a whole ten minutes as long as I received a life threatening attack, the same artifact could also be used to remove elemental shackles if I detonated it using my mental energy, the last tool was a mental tracker that had the mentality of Blade which would allow him to find me as long as I activated it with my mental energy as well.

"Even if you knew it was a trap, how could you relay the message to Blade that you were here, mentalities other than me should have been blocked."

"Well, let's say that just because you could only see me, it doesn't mean that I was alone…"

Obviously, a rare item like a spatial bomb being for an end trap was surprising even for me, simply relying on myself and the items I received from Blade wouldn't have cut it anymore…

However, such a possibility was exactly why I also had my own failsafe plans, I was no longer a loner after all, I had Light!

All that I had to do was instruct both Long and Light about how to find Blade to get here in time after enhancing their abilities appropriately for situations like this...
