Chapter 557

Chapter 557: Chapter 434: No Difference (3rd Update, asking for monthly tickets!) Chapter 557: Chapter 434: No Difference (3rd Update, asking for monthly tickets!) Aiwass quickly found the head Guardian within the Cathedral of Candle Master and whispered the situation to him.

It wasn’t just “Yulia” being captured by Emma that was simple, but a more complete version.

That is, “their Queen Isabel was abducted by Countess Emma.”

“...There’s also this matter?”

The Guardian’s brow furrowed instantly, “To think it has come to this...”

George immediately hurried with Aiwass towards an open space—in the overcrowded Cathedral of Candle Master, finding an open space was quite difficult.

As he searched for an open space, his brows continued to furrow.

He felt immense pressure, “I’m sorry, Aiwass.

I was right there at the Candle Master ceremony, just in the front row...

It’s my responsibility.”@@@@

The Guardian hadn’t even noticed “Yulia” at the back.

...

And it was impossible for him to have noticed.

Because Isabel hadn’t even entered the cathedral, she was watching from outside.

Though the Candle Master ceremony didn’t require any exalted status to enter, it was first-come, first-serve.

But inside was too crowded, too packed with people.

And “Yulia,” who was naturally short, wouldn’t be able to see anything if she didn’t get a good spot, there was little difference to her between being inside or outside.

They finally found an appropriate open space.

As the Guardian forcefully blew his chest whistle, the silent whistle carried far through the air.

After a brief delay, hurricanes wrapped around the Gryphon as it blinked and descended before them, and George, grabbing Aiwass, instantly leaped onto it.

“Philip, to the headquarters of the Lohar Society.”

The Guardian shouted, “Hurry!”

“Understood.”

A deep and reliable voice echoed within the storm, and in an instant, Aiwass along with the Guardian disappeared.

The sudden onset of two storms staggered the surrounding civilians—they were first pushed back and then pulled forward.

By the time the storm had subsided, most of them hadn’t even noticed that the Gryphon had landed there or that two people had vanished into thin air amid the crowd.

Aiwass was somewhat anxious.

He had no intention to take the elevator, and neither did the Guardian.

Instead, they directed the Guardian’s Gryphon, Philip, to fly outside the top floor.

He peeked through a window and found Emma’s office empty.

—The good news was, it confirmed that it was indeed Emma who had acted.

Because Aiwass had already warned her not to leave the Lohar Building, but now she was nowhere to be found.

The bad news, however, was that they had no idea where Emma had taken “Yulia.”

“Here’s what we’ll do, Aiwass.

I’ll stay here and use the ‘Eye of Avalon’ to look around, and at the same time, I’ll guard them,”

The Guardian quickly made a decision, “You take Philip and search elsewhere—start with places like the harbor.

Philip can hear my call, and no matter how far he flies, he can return, so don’t worry about losing contact.

The Guardian, while in the state of the Eye of Avalon, was not sufficiently guarded against the outside world.

Anyway, Yulia had already memorized the route and had been branded by her.

There was no need to worry about losing control—the entire Avalon probably had no one capable of eradicating a Succubus’ branding when applied in person.

So she rushed to tell Yulia’s coachman a word, instructing him to take Yulia home first.

Afterwards, Emma immediately activated the demon summoning array she had set up at the top of the Lohar Building, teleporting directly from Yulia’s side.

—Wouldn’t the benefits of beguiling the great Guardian of Avalon during this opportunity far exceed those of charming that odd Minister Moriarty?

Such a thought suddenly sprang up in her mind at that time.

And now, under the full power of Charm, a sharp tail began to grow behind Emma, horns appeared above her head, and her skin slowly turned crimson.

Inside the whole Lohar Building, the merchants who were not participating in the Candle Master’s ritual, one by one, began to get excited.

Their skins turned redder and redder, becoming increasingly agitated as if they were going mad.

Soon, a chaos unfolded within the Lohar Society, initiated by a scream and the sound of shattering glass.

This was just a small fraction of the power that escaped, yet it had a very strong impact.

The traits of the Succubus began to emerge clearly, which was the symbol of a Demon Incarnation utilizing full power—one more step, and the Succubus within her would hatch directly.

But...

Emma felt that the Guardian’s will was exceptionally tenacious, causing her to furrow her brows.

The pure Path of Authority had extremely strong resistance to mental manipulation—in this mental tug-of-war, she actually felt an almost uncontrollable inclination.

Had she made a mistake?

Had she been too rash?

Emma suddenly felt something was amiss.

She questioned herself, introspecting secretly.

—No, I am not wrong.

She quickly corrected the hesitation in her heart.

After all, now that she had acted, there was no chance for regret even if she was wrong.

And if she missed this chance, she probably would never get such a good opportunity again.

Her own plans would be exposed, and other schemes would fail as well.

If she successfully controlled the Guardian, then everything would proceed smoothly...

Success would be doubly beneficial, while failure would bring shared ruin.

Thinking this way, Emma convinced herself and reaffirmed her determination.

Although it was somewhat regretful...

it was time for her days as a human to end.

After all, Emma had long been prepared for this.

As a Demon Incarnation, this day was bound to come eventually.

It was still her, just as the her who was the Son of the Moon, also belonged to the past.

But Emma had no inkling, and would never realize—

Her sudden impulse to act against the Guardian, who was of the same Energy Level yet held a slight advantage over her, and her decision to temporarily set aside the direct order from “Father” to “bring back the Blood of Heracles,” choosing instead to control the Guardian at any cost, mirrored the mindset of those beguiled by her...

...they were indistinguishable.

—Without any mental preparation, at an incredibly opportune moment, Emma was charmed by the yet unhatched Succubus within her!
