Chapter 1022 Inky, Pinky, Ponkey?



Chapter 1022 Inky, Pinky, Ponkey?

A few minutes later… 

The southern part of the African continent loomed ahead as two men rode a white fox, racing towards their destination. 

Funnily enough, one of them was still naked. The poor level 1 Oracle shivered in freezing cold as the fox sped through the distance, but Liam looked like he couldn't care less about it.

All of his focus was on finding Derek. He had a feeling that Derek might be in some sort of danger, so he was mentally resting and recuperating to take any action that might be needed.

Landscapes appeared and disappeared beneath them, including several powerful beasts that were yet to be taken care of. However, the group continued moving until they reached their target destination. 

Soon, Luna circled the border of Botswana. They had finally arrived, which brought in the next problem, how were they going to approach the exact location without spooking whoever they were looking for?

Liam, especially, was convinced that Derek had suffered some sort of memory loss. 

Otherwise, they wouldn't have to go after him. He would have reached out to the guild all on his own, or at least he would have reached out to his family members.

"Hmmm. Could you give me the exact coordinates?" Liam asked after contemplation.

"Yes, Mr. Liam." The Oracle eagerly nodded and pointed him in the right direction.

Immediately, Liam patted the white fox. "Ok. You know what to do. Go to this place as fast as you can."

Kyu! Luna bobbed her head, and the next second, she shot forward like a bullet. Somehow her speed had become even higher than the speed with which they had traveled here.

pαndα`noνɐ1~сoМ Caden also noticed that two of her tails were glowing bright and raised his eyebrows in surprise. 

However, he did not dare ask for any details. He simply kept quiet and hoped that this endeavor was enough for him to buy his life back.

And in the next couple of seconds, finally, this opportune moment arrived.

The three of them reached the exact coordinates where this all-defying ally was supposed to be found, but to their surprise, the place was rather questionable.

Liam, Luna, and Caden found themselves at the entrance of some sort of deserted mining site. A diamond mine? 

The site was massive, with several buildings and a network of tunnels leading deep underground. There were all sorts of equipment and heavy machinery lying around, just left there haphazardly.

There were also signs of struggle and numerous beast carcasses lying around. More specifically, there were bones and remains of beast carcasses. The meat was completely stripped clean.

Liam frowned, looking at everything. He suddenly had a bad premonition. "What is this? You brought me to this place? Who is here?"

He only barely closed his mouth when a familiar eerie voice whispered in his ears. "Well, hello there… if it isn't the petty thief who stole what belongs to me."

Liam's eyes widened in shock. He did not have to think twice to know who this voice belonged to. He didn't even have to see the person. 

He could identify this voice anywhere because he knew just how dangerous it was!

Damn it. He gritted his teeth.

But before he could make any moves, a figure casually walked out of one of the tunnels and appeared in front of the group. The danger was already here!

It was almost as if the person had been waiting for him!

Liam stared at the familiar malevolent eyes, and a shiver ran down his spine. The last time he had seen this person, there was a set of bars between them and a very strong barrier.

But this time… there was nothing there.

There was him, and a few feet away, there was the… dragon princess. 

The same woman who had once been behind bars, the same woman whom he had double-crossed and left there to rot.

Liam instantly materialized a soul sphere around him, and Luna and the fox also moved back several paces. 

It was now clear to him that the damned Oracle had betrayed him. He had brought him here to get killed, but the thing was… when Liam glanced, he appeared to be just as shocked as him.

Moreover, the Oracle did not even seem to recognize the woman. Did he really lie?

Liam decided to think about this later. For now, he was in danger, perhaps even more so when he was facing some mere insects.

The hive queen most definitely was not proficient in soul attacks, but Liam was sure that this dragon princess was extremely well-versed in attacks such as this. 

She was, after all, absorbing dragon souls when they had first met. The two were on completely different levels. There was no comparison. He needed to -

Liam was about to send the soul bullet to test the waters when unexpectedly, the other party shouted.

"Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. You damned bastard. You almost killed me once. Don't kill me again. I have no intention to go against you."

Huh? Liam was dumbfounded. He paused his attack and opened his mouth to say something when suddenly, another voice sounded.

"Ho Ho! What a gathering we have here!" 

A slightly short and chubby young man also walked out of one of the tunnels. He had his head cleanly shaved and wore simple clothing, a saffron-colored robe very similar to that of religious attire.

More importantly, his face was the picture-perfect image of innocence. He was flashing an innocent divine smile that only great saints probably possessed. 

One look at him, and anyone would want to trust him instinctively. It was not a quality that could be pinpointed. It was just a feeling that the monk emanated. He just had that good guy/ saint tag attached to him.

"Blessings. Blessings. So many kind souls gathered here today. Would you all be interested in hearing about your future on this fine sunny day? It only costs 100 mana cores."

Now it was everyone's turn to be confused as they stared at the oblivious monk who couldn't read the atmosphere in the room.

Even Liam was utterly speechless at this development. He had come here fully expecting Derek to be in this set of coordinates.

But instead, he was staring at the dragon witch, whom he had never expected to see again in this life, and a monk who appeared out of nowhere?

What was happening?

Of course, there was also the Oracle who had led him here in the first place.

If the prediction read that he would find his greatest ally here, then which one of these three was his true ally?
