837 Six

Currently, Vale's main body was about to be possessed by the Death God. No matter how great Vale was, even with all the tricks and extracted spells he had, his enemy was still a being that had full control of a particular Realm.

Even the Abyss Realm's Demon Lord would have to be careful in front of this deity with the power to control the death itself.

At this point, once the Death God managed to possess Vale's body, everyone believed that there would no be turning back for Vale if the Death God decided to kill himself.

Not even the two Time Manipulators could help revive Vale if that happened.

Because of that, they needed the Perfect Vessel to help Vale obtain a new body or to draw the Death God into this perfect body instead. After all, it's not like they have a skill that could attack the Death God inside Vale's body.

They have very limited things they can do.

"Alright That's enough. We'll know more about your race once we return to our Realm." Vale said as he turned to leave.

However, as Vale's group prepared to depart from the enigmatic Darkness Tower, Sreas spoke up.

"I can't leave the tower, Lord Vale."

'Ahh'

Indeed, Sreas was a prisoner of this Darkness Tower, so it made sense that he couldn't leave even if he was now serving Vale.

Of course, Vale knew what they had to do at this time.

Vale then exchanged a meaningful glance with Jin, a silent understanding passing between them as they prepared to address this matter.

"This is my first time freeing a prisoner with this item, so it might take a while." Jin explained.

"Alright you can take your time, Jin." Vale replied.

Jin then took out the Golden Key in his pocket and invoked the power of the Artifact.

After a few seconds, the Key started glowing Then, in a couple of minutes, Jin finally controlled the Golden Key, and the light from the key cast its radiant glow upon Sreas' form.

'I did it' Jin thought.

Soon, the Prisoner Mark that bound the Asura began to dissolve beneath the Key's luminous touch. Sreas, the prisoner, immediately had a sense of liberation as the mark on his body slowly disintegrated, completely freeing him.

Perhaps, even without being marked by Vale's Dominion Thirst, he would be willing to serve Vale since he could finally leave this lonely Tower after so many years.

As the Prisoner Mark was completely removed, Sreas also felt his power returning to him.

The Tower no longer recognized him as a prisoner, so he was no longer being suppressed!

Soon, his strength gradually returned to him, and everyone couldn't help but realize how strong this Asura was!

Even Aurion, the one who had beaten Sreas a while ago, couldn't help but feel threatened by his strength!

"I'm finally free Thank you for freeing me, Lord Vale!"

Grasping the significance of the Golden Key's power, Sreas recognized the gift of freedom that had been bestowed upon him

"So you were actually being suppressed a while ago. Mhmm Although you can now leave the Prison Tower, you're still going to serve me. Don't feel too bad about it. You will have a brighter future if you follow me." Vale said as if he hadn't controlled the Asura's mind yet.

As Sreas joined Vale's team, they soon left the confines of the Darkness Tower

There wasn't much gain in this Tower but it was quite expected since this was supposed to be a prison in the first place.

After emerging from the Tower, they were greeted by the sight of Vale's loyal Shadow Sentinels. They were silently protecting the Tower as if there could be some enemies here.

"Sreas, do you think there are creatures or enemies in this realm?" Vale asked.

"There should be plenty of Celestial Beings here, Lord Vale. When I was transported to this place, it was filled with Celestials. In that gorge, I saw many Celestials coming and going. There's a lot of activity in that area." Sreas said as he pointed a gorge on the horizon.

"Is there some sort of building there?" Vale asked.

However, Sreas had no idea about it as well.

"We'll explore that later" Vale muttered as he noted that place at the back of mind.

Pressing onward, the group ventured forth to the next Prisoner Tower. This time, Vale thought for a moment as he considered entering the Mystical Tower and Holy Tower

"I'm curious about this Holy Prison Tower Let's check it out." Vale said as he led the team inside.

Once again, the Shadow Sentinels stayed outside. This time, however, Sreas joined inside.

As they crossed the threshold into the Tower's isolated space, they realized that, once again, they entered a place that didn't seem like a Tower. It was as if they were transported to a dark land. Vale couldn't help but recall the Abyss Realm!

"They're really here" Vale muttered as he looked at the prisoners.

Apparently, this was why he had chosen this place. He wanted to know if his intuition was right

Well, Vale's intuition was proven true, as the group beheld at the sight of the six prisoners.

Before them stood the ethereal figures of Messengers or the Angel Race! They were beings that should be serving the Celestial Beings and shouldn't be imprisoned!

"I have a bad feeling about this" Vale said as he felt that there was something he was missing. Nonetheless, he shook his head as he decided to confront the truth in front of him.

As Vale and his intrepid group approached the six imprisoned Angels, they were all feeling a bit complicated.

Nonetheless, they were eager to engage in dialogue and seek answers to the mysteries that surrounded their captivity

However, as they drew near, a sudden shift in the atmosphere occurred

Without warning, the six Angels, who seemed to be extremely weak, burst with energy!

Their radiant forms overflowed with fierce energy as they abruptly turned hostile!

In a swift and startling turn of events, the Angels launched a coordinated assault against Vale and his companions!
