Apotheosis

The other weapon refiners were clearly baffled. However, Cailen had a vague idea of what had just happened.

He was in charge of the Nine Edges Heaven Slaughtering Array. Thus, he knew the operation well like the palm of his hand. The extremely powerful sword radiance obviously came from Zen's direction.

In addition to that, the idea of changing the array was suggested by Zen himself. His look of complete confidence from before had further verified Cailen's suspicion.

Even so, Cailen kept thinking why the Soaring Snake Sword in his hand was only a replica.

Either way, no one paid attention to Zen the moment the array began. It wouldn't be difficult for him to switch swords.

In any case, Cailen had no intention of telling them what he had in mind.

Zen's display of strength was truly extraordinary. Therefore, he thought that Zen probably came from a powerful lineage.

Besides, they owed their lives to him. Considering that Zen was reluctant to reveal his trump card, it would be really thoughtless of him if he brought it up.

Gant was very fortunate as he followed such a strong man.

If everything worked out well, Gant would absolutely make a difference in the future.

Cailen sighed deeply. They probably would have died today if he had actually stopped Gant that time.

Now that Sebert was dead, Satchel and the rest of the Oneness Guards would only come to a bad end.

Cailen shouldered a heavy responsibility. He had to leave with the Shade Stone. Thus, he couldn't care about anything else.

As a matter of fact, Cailen was not the only one who found out the truth.

When the anomaly of the huge sword was discovered, Gant immediately thought of Zen.

He remembered that Zen had asked his uncle about the grade of the Soaring Snake Sword when he bought the fake one in the Dragon City. He seemed very concerned about it.

During that time, both Gant and his uncle thought Zen only asked out of sheer curiosity.

He had no idea why Zen even bought the fake Soaring Snake Sword. But now, he finally understood that Zen wanted to use it to hide the truth.

The other weapon refiners also had their own speculations.

Some of their ideas were actually good. However, they failed to sense where the power came from because they didn't operate the array themselves. They doubted Zen as well as each other.

l disaster.

"I said, hand it over!"

Elizabeth bellowed. Her aura grew much stronger and gave the crowd an ominous and oppressive feeling.

Gant's soul was the weakest among all of them. His legs were trembling so much that he could barely stand.

However, Elizabeth suffered a huge loss from the Illusory Projection.

The last time she performed it, she destroyed four Arrays of Innumerable Swords. But now that she did it again, her strength was less than half as before.

She had no idea who had the Shade Stone. In addition to that, her projection would not be able to take anything away. She was just projecting a mass of pure energy.

So for now, she forced the group to relinquish the Shade Stone. After that, she would ask a Sun Crow to take it back.

Since they were unwilling to give her the Shade Stone, she would just savagely kill everyone then let her race members take it.

Cailen already predicted what Elizabeth was thinking. He was now frantically thinking of a way out.

Seeing that Elizabeth had lost her patience, Cailen brought out a small bottle and raised it above his head. "The Shade Stone is in this bottle!"

Elizabeth raised her eyebrows in response. Then, she stretched out her hand and the bottle floated toward her.

While Elizabeth was momentarily distracted, Cailen immediately told the group through his life vitality, "That bottle is empty! Run for your lives!"

Elizabeth would not let them go even if they handed over the Shade Stone to her. It would be best if they just took this opportunity to run away.
