Chapter 583: Chapter 450: Arriving at the Battlefield_1 Chapter 583: Chapter 450: Arriving at the Battlefield_1 “Ding—Ding—Ding—”

The distant, ancient bell sounds slowly receded into the distance.

Opening his eyes, Colin saw the familiar chapel and then, subconsciously, he looked towards a corner of the church.

Unfortunately, the hazy light and shadow did not appear…

He gathered his thoughts, and first thing, he took out the Golden Mark given to him by Shana from his pocket and immersed his consciousness into it—

There was no response…

And, compared to before, there was a distinct feeling of communication being completely severed, like a stone sunk deep into the ocean.

‘Indeed, there seems to be a problem…’

Colin put away the mark, and at the same time, grey ashes spewed from the bonfire, these ashes quickly transformed midair into solid figures of employees.

“Brother Shunzi? You’ve finally come!!” Some showed delighted expressions upon seeing this, then immediately began reporting the prior situation.

However, only half of it was said before Colin waved his hand, interrupting the rest of their words.

“I already know.”

Having said so, Colin did not elaborate further, instead, he sensed the area outside.

He could feel that outside the small chapel, Nun Vanessa was already waiting.

He strode forward, stepping out to see Vanessa in her stance of meditation, hands crossed over her chest, head bowed with a worried expression on her face.

Little Red and several children were beside her…

Beyond them, there stood a woman over one meter eighty-five tall, with blue hair, at Vanessa’s side.

Her appearance was beautiful, and seemed very familiar…

‘This hair color, what does it have to do with Helena?’

Colin’s gaze swept over her, recalling the noble Helena he had met some months before.

This one looked very much like Helena, only taller, like an enlarged version of her, and her eyes were very sharp, her presence overwhelming, and her strength on another level.

“Sister Vanessa, big brother is here…” Little Red saw Colin and her eyes immediately lit up, and then she gently tugged at Vanessa’s robe.

Upon hearing this, Vanessa immediately opened her eyes: “‘Bonfire’ agent sir…”

“No need for more words, I’ve decided to commence the rescue. Just tell me, do you have any news about the current whereabouts of the Saint?”

As he spoke, Colin looked towards the blue-haired lady knight.

According to “Life Mentor Adorable,” this one nearly followed the Saintess all the way through the disaster’s epicenter and knew a lot.

And seeing Colin’s gaze, the blue-haired lady knight did not hesitate and spoke decisively:

“Based on the intelligence I have, it’s very likely that the Saintess encountered an ambush in the Golden City of Black Rock Kingdom because when we left, I heard that place seemed to be a trap…”

“A trap and yet you went?” Colin frowned.

Upon hearing this, the blue-haired lady knight was silent for a few seconds, then nodded:

“Yes, that’s just the kind of person she is…”

She paused, not waiting for Colin to speak, she continued: “In fact, during the ‘Disaster of Magic Fog’ relief efforts, the Saintess has also encountered many ambushes, but most of those plots were crushed by her, this time…”

It could be negligence, or some other reason.

The blue-haired lady knight did not continue.

‘This is really… If we manage to rescue her, she certainly needs to be thoroughly lectured, having strength doesn’t mean being reckless!’

As for now, continuing the inquiry seemed pointless, Colin directly asked: “Do you have a map?”

“Yes.”

“Mark out the potential areas and safe routes.”

Before long, with the map in hand, Colin swiftly set off, but the first destination was not towards the direction of the Mist Disaster but another area.

The Underground Great Labyrinth.

This First Level Containment Subject, though trapped, definitely knew more about the “Disaster of Magic Fog” than it had claimed last time.

‘This time, if it doesn’t yield something actually useful, then for wasting nearly a half-hour of my time, this creature can forget about ever coming out, or if it does come out, I’ll have to ensure it appears in the form of an item.’

Colin muttered to himself.

Ten more minutes passed, and he arrived once more at the Underground Labyrinth.

This time, because Colin did not conceal his presence during the journey, “King of Savage Sound” seemed to have already sensed it.

Just as he reached the entrance, a figure composed of a unique frequency spectrum appeared.

“Respected pre… No, ‘Flame Bearer’ your excellency, congratulations, your strength seems to have advanced further.”

“King of Madness” paused halfway through his speech, recalling some of the humanizing knowledge infused—

Generally speaking, if the other person is a deputy something but such a meeting should still directly address with the proper title; it makes the other feel slightly better and also conveys preemptive congratulations.

This “Flame Bearer” C Level was somewhat lacking in the intensity of flame.

But… among the reserves, should be considered among the best.

It was time to pop the champagne… Wait, what is “champagne”?

“King of Madness” briefly puzzled internally, but before making sense of it, heard the other speak:

“Tell me as much as you can about your understanding of the ‘Disaster of Magic Fog’.”

“This…” “King of Madness” hesitated.

“If the information is accurate and useful, when the opportunity arises, I will give you priority consideration.”

Colin casually painted a picture.

However, “King of Madness” immediately perked up upon hearing this: “Of course, of course, I’ll tell you what I know.”

Although there was no definite reply, this was the first time there was an indication of letting it out.

Good things come to those who wait…

With more performances in the future, there might really be a chance to get out!

Thinking this, “King of Madness” did not hesitate to transmit a special “Inspiration” and, combining with words: “This ‘Magic Fog’, I haven’t really been in contact with it, but I can generally sense that it’s probably a fusion of consciousness from some High Order Containment Subjects, originating from some specific Containment Space…”
