?Chapter 1183: 370. Derivative Controversy


    “Why the Shadow Executioner, why has ite to this?!”


    The Metallic Ancestor Dragon Talsale, which had taken over the body of Paisi Dingda, was still hovering above Revival City.


    It saw the purple-gray figure carrying the Gem Box through the Iron Curtain that spread to the seaside.


    Although the other party had immediately activated the Deep Sea Mist upon detecting its presence, sessfully stopping its pursuit, Talsale had still managed to identify the origins of the figure at the first instance.


    Indeed, it was highly likely the Shadow Executioner.


    This was an unexpected answer for Talsale. <div>


    ...


    It had envisioned several images of thieves.


    For example, a Transcendent Wizard from the Inner Cosmos who had developed powerful Wild Magic. There were a few who specialized in the fields of Illusion Magic and Mental Magic, creating Wild Magic that even Talsale was somewhat reluctant to encounter.


    Of course, “reluctant to encounter” didn’t mean Talsale was afraid of this Wild Magic.


    Though Wild Magic itself could be enhanced by investing energy, Talsale had plenty of ways to deal with such strengthened spells.


    It simply didn’t want toe face-to-face with a Transcendent Wizard and let that group be aware of its existence; that was all.


    The other thieves Talsale had anticipated were members of the Star Pce, such as the Kill the Angel or the Shadow King.


    It had ranked the Shadow Executioner towards the end because its location was far, far, far too distant from the Inner Cosmos and especially remote, so much so that Talsale itself would have to spend nearly 500 human years just to find the urate location of the Shadow Executioner.


    And yet, this being that existed at the very edge of the Universe had sent its avatar into the Inner Cosmos…


    Talsale looked up at the Stargaze.


    It could confirm that there were no stars rted to the Shadow Executioner among them.


    This meant the Shadow Executioner hadn’t “rooted” itself in the Inner Cosmos to aid the Wizards by developing a Sub-Dimensional ne.


    Without much guessing, Talsale could figure out that the Shadow Executioner had entered the Inner Cosmos by “smuggling,” just like those Death Steel Soldiers that had appeared in the Undead Cult.


    In the past era, when the Star Pce Barrier was jointly managed by the Star God, Gilenz, and Selent, such a method of entering the Inner Cosmos would have beenpletely impossible.


    But times had changed, and the Star Pce Barrier had be a Hollow full of holes; anyone with the ability could sneak into it.


    “Once I manage to drive away Nyrephale (the White Dragon), I need to quickly think of a way to repair the Barrier, lest the rest of my ns be interrupted by those from the Outer Space and the Barren Universe…”


    Talsale took onest nce at the sea surface obscured by the Deep Sea Mist, then dissipated the Transparent Iron Curtain and terminated the Skills.


    The disappearance of 3 billion points of Soul Energy might be a disaster for other dragons, but Talsale wouldn’t be brought downpletely because of it.


    It had its own methods to rapidly gather Soul Energy.


    It just needed time.


    Those 3 billion points of Soul Energy represented a year’s umtion for it.


    If it couldn’t retrieve the stolen energy, it would have to spend another year collecting it.


    Inside, Talsale’s heart was mixed with anger and confusion as it flew down towards the city below.


    It still couldn’t understand why the Shadow Executioner would get involved; was it simply to prevent the revival of its former master?


    “That seems to be the only reason.”


    Talsale murmured to itself against the howling wind:


    “You are quite something, Nyrephale, to have been able to contact the Shadow Executioner from the Barren Universe, while in the Inner Cosmos.”


    “Whoo—” The long wind passed through the Garden Gallery of the Pure Light Post, and Talsale returned here.


    It had already released its control over Paisi Dingda, giving the control of the body back to him.


    Paisi Dingda didn’t immediately enter the house.


    He stood in the Garden, where he could faintly hear the roaring of Jay Spade, and had a brief conversation with the powerful being inside him.


    “Yes, yes, my lord, I will do as instructed.”


    Paisi Dingda gave a slight bow to Talsale as a salute.


    He took a pen and paper out of the Magic Pouch and quickly wrote a letter.


    After sending out five letters in a row, he moved his feet toward the noisy inside of the house.


    The iing sharp voice of Jay Spade was particrly grating under the serene Night Curtain and the light of the Gardenmps:


    “What do you mean the Searching Spell Array has no response! I just recently ced high-powered location Runes on that Metallic Gem Box! The location runes cannot fail!! The Searching Spell Array can’t possibly have no reaction!! There must be something wrong with your operation!!”


    “Bring me the Ripple Scroll from the energy fluctuation monitor! Hurry up! You must have carried it during your shift!! You didn’t detect the energy ripples in time!!”


    “Damn it!!”


    (ttering noise)


    “Why is there no record of any abnormal energy fluctuations on the Ripple Scroll! Did you secretly modify the ripples on it!! Look at me, face me, submit to my detection spell!!”


    As Paisi Dingda crossed the Great Gate of the Courtyard, he saw the severely agitated Jay Spade.


    After being controlled by the mysterious person and then inexplicably losing the Metallic Gem Box, the two incidentsbined made Jay Spade furiously angry,pletely losing theposure he once had as an Eighth-Circle Light Wizard.


    He was eager to find the thief, and even if he couldn’t catch the thief himself, he had to quickly find any clues the thief might have left behind.
