"We're too late..." Agent Fox said as she saw that the Pontiff and the Sage were already under control. To be exact, she didn't even expect them to be controlled by their observation target.

'Vale Chambers So the suggestion that he killed the Vessels and disguised as a Red Imp was probably close to the truth.' Agent Fox thought as she recalled the incident in the Roaring Summit.

Anyway, she was expecting to see the three groups fighting against each other since they are at the same level of strength!

In the end, their Arcane Bureau still underestimated the young man who had shown mysterious abilities in the Twelve Academies Competition.

After all, her mission was to stop the fight and prevent both sides from being wiped out, not to fight against Vale!

She then checked her communication crystal as she wanted to report the situation to their headquarters.

However, something seemed to be interfering with their connection, so she had no other choice but to take the lead and decide their course of action.

She fell silent for a while as she considered what to do.

The Arcane Bureau wanted to keep these Half-Immortals alive. They didn't want them to destroy each other as it would disturb the balance of this realm...

After some hesitation, Agent Fox gave a secret command to the other agents before she slowly approached Vale.

"I'm Agent Fox of the Arcane Bureau. Vale Chambers, I ask you to release these two gentlemen... Sage Merlin is the Overseer of this Continent and he only wanted to ensure that this continent wouldn't have another Berserk Immortal that would rampage and kill innocent lives. His Holiness Marcus III also needed to be released since the Eminence of the Sea might target you I'm not talking about a deity in legends but a real one" Agent Fox solemnly said.

However, Vale was not interested in her request. Sage Merlin had malicious intentions, and he also felt the Pontiff's greed on his possession, the Black Grimoire.

He looked at her with a cold smile and said

"Why should I? They tried to kill me and my friends. They deserve to be my slaves. And you... Your Arcane Bureau is just a bunch of meddlers who think you can control everything. You have no authority over me." Vale replied as he confirmed the number of Arcane Bureau agents that had surrounded his castle.

He was still a bit unsure how to deal with them, so he considered listening to them for now before he could decide on his next actions.

Agent Fox frowned and said

"Don't be foolish. You don't know what you're doing. These two are Half-Immortals. They have a vital role in maintaining the stability of the Arcane World. If you harm them, you'll cause a disaster that will affect everyone. Many innocent lives will be at stake. You'll also make more enemies than you have now... Do you really want to do that?" Agent Fox said that she really wanted to resolve this through a simple negotiation as much as possible.

However, it seemed that the man in front of her was too greedy with the power he had obtained.

'We should've arrested this man that moment he showed strange actions during the Evil Entity Case.' Agent Fox silently thought.

On the other hand, Vale just shrugged and replied with a calm tone.

"I don't care. I have my own goals and plans. I don't need to listen to anyone. And I'm not afraid of having enemies. We both know that the Abyss Realm's Invasion is coming. I will be needing their assistance to protect this place."

Agent Fox's eyes widened as she realized that Vale had a vague idea about the Abyss Realm Invasion, just like their Bureau. However, considering the mysterious people gathered in this castle, it doesn't seem to be surprising as she thinks about it.

Agen Fox sighed and said.

"I see. You're stubborn and arrogant. You leave me no choice. I'll have to use force to make you comply. Agents, attack!"

As she said that, she and the other agents launched their spells at Vale. They used various types of Elemental Arts, such as fire, lightning, wind, earth, water, and more. They hoped to overwhelm him with their numbers and power!

However, their main mission was to remove the bindings of the two Half-Immortals!

Once they're freed from their Spell controlling their minds, their escape would be easy, and her mission would come to an end.

But Vale was not impressed.

He raised his hand to shield himself from the Tier 1 and Tier 2 Elemental Spells and used his Darkness Manipulation, or perhaps Shadow Manipulation to stop their attacks.

Those who managed to pass through these attacks were removed by the Spell Dispersion Spell!

"You think you can defeat me with your weak spells? You have to do better than that, Agent Fox. I still have two Half-

Immortals under my command. The two of you, show them your might!"

As he said that, he used his Telepathy to order the Pontiff and the Sage to fight for him.

The two Half-Immortals obeyed his will and unleashed their own spells at the Agents. Of course, Vale had still had some use with these people, so he didn't order them to kill these agents.

With that in consideration, the Sage used his Ice Spirits and his Divinity, against the Arcane Arts of the Agents.

As for the Pontiff, he waved his hand to create a storm that made the floating Agents immediately descend to the ground to avoid being flung away by the gust of strong wind!

Needless to say, this attack was also powered by Divinity!

Except for Agent Fox and a few elite agents, most of them were shocked and terrified by the power shown by the two Half-Immortals.

They knew that they weren't even showing their full might!

They immediately looked at Agent Fox as they waited for her command to release their secret weapons.

These weapons were meant to be used against entities from another realm, but in their current situation, they must use them now!

They realized that they had underestimated Vale's mind-

controlling power! He actually had no issue commanding two Half Immortals at the same time!

He wasn't like other Mind Controllers they had met before!
