"Then, what is your boss's relationship with the Order of the Dead?" Abium nodded at Grold and continued to ask.
A look of astonishment appeared on Grold's face, and soon it replied with an evil smirk.
"Heh, I didn't expect you would see through our disguise. I will tell you honestly now. It is my boss's mission. Well, even I don't know much about him and his missions. All I know is there are many people out there like him who could manipulate strange powers and are lurking all over this world." As Abium heard those words, he felt a chill run down his spine!
After a long silence, he looked into that goblin's evil yellow eyes and asked further.
"What do you know about me?" It was what he needed to know most.
"Pfff! You? Well, you don't have to think of yourself as some hero or savior. You are just a pathetic Seer who got blessed by a Broken Star. Puny elf, I will tell you one little secret." Grold suddenly stopped smiling and continued with seriousness. "He has some big plans for you. He needs your seer power very much. Keke, if you use your brain properly, you may reap some big rewards in return."
As it finished its words, Abium let out a sigh.
'Broken Star? What is that? Well, I will search for that later.' Abium raised his eyebrows and soon sighed inwardly.
'Well, it seems even the Fate divinity holder didn't find out anything about that mysterious fountain which linked to my soul.' Abium breathed a sigh of relief and shifted his gaze toward the tied goblin. While pondering how to deal with that guy, he suddenly thought of a big problem. He knew nothing about the Fate divinity-holder guy.
Abium turned his face seriously and asked.
"Now that I think about it, what is your boss's name? I'm curious to know."
A low chuckle came from Grold's mouth as it shook its head before replying.
"Even I don't know his real name. But he goes by the alias name 'Watcher.'" As his words fell, Abium's expression froze.
'I think I heard that name somewhere in the past.' He got puzzled for a bit and soon shook his head.
'Should I kill this goblin now?' But he dismissed that thought immediately. He knew killing this goblin would only make things worse. Although he didn't know why this goblin followed after him, he could guess it must have something to do with the Watcher. He didn't want to beat around the bush, so he directly asked.
"Why are you here?"
"Well, I just came here to monitor you. We don't want someone to sneak into our group and f*ck up the whole plan like last time. But I didn't expect you would go in a different direction." It said with an annoying tone and quickly spat out three words in the abyssal tongue. The next instant, the rope became loose, and Grold stood up with an arrogant face.
"If you didn't use some strange power to confuse me, I would have killed you long ago." It said.
Meanwhile, Abium stared amusingly at the goblin and shook his head. He could tell this goblin was not bluffing. But even if this goblin had a few strange artifacts, Abium was not afraid.
While he was in deep thought, the goblin Grold suddenly started walking toward Yozis's body and picked up his spatial ring.
Soon, it looked at that ring with greedy eyes and was about to imprint its spirit power shamelessly but stopped.
The next moment, its whole body stiffened up.
"What are you doing?" Grold asked, full of displeasure, and turned its head slowly.
Meanwhile, Abium stood behind the goblin and placed the sword tip on its nape.
Slowly, it let out a dry laugh and raised its hands.
At that moment, Grold saw a layer of light green-colored aura covering the sword and didn't dare to underestimate this elf.
Although the sword was almost on the verge of breaking due to the aura, the goblin knew its life would be over if it made this elf angry.
'Master sword aura!' Astonishment appeared on its face!
"If you try to do something funny, I won't show you any mercy," Abium said chillingly and snatched Yozis' spatial ring from the goblin. He didn't even mind that goblin's hateful look and silently tossed it into his spatial ring.
"Humph, I will deal with you when I return to the tower." Grold spat on the ground and gritted its teeth. It knew Yozis had many magic stones and white gold coins and felt frustrated.
"So, do you know how to get out of this Fex's Dimension?" Abium asked while glancing at Grold.
"Of course, I know." Grold stopped talking while giving Abium an evil smirk and continued.
"But I won't tell you the method unless you kneel in front of this Mighty Lord Grold and beg for my forgiveness." Grold suddenly realized it had the precious Dimension-travel stone and laughed wickedly. It was going to threaten this puny elf using this stone and completely rob him.
But soon, its laughter stopped as it saw Abium standing there while looking at Grold with pity.
"Idiot elf! Why are you looking at me like that?" Grold was so enraged by Abium's behavior and hissed angrily.
"I don't have any time to fool around with you, moron. Look, in this Fex dimension, time flows seven times faster than the Easica plane. So, even if I stay here for fourteen years, only two years would have passed in the Easica plane. I can wait here for fourteen years to increase my strength and then get out on my own using other methods. But what about your boss? Can he wait?" Abium's words made Grold widen its eyes in shock.
"H-How did you know?!" It stuttered while staring at him with a perplexed expression on its face.
A few seconds later, it came to its senses and soon turned pale.
"F*ck!"
At that moment, Grold realized that it had almost ruined their whole plan, so it didn't wish to stay in this strange dimension any longer. It quickly took out a blue crystalline stone with multiple minute arrays inscribed and looked at it with deep thought.
But before it could think through, Abium grabbed the crystal and snatched it rudely from its hand.
Meanwhile, Grold looked at its hand and then turned to Abium with a shocked face.
"I will come back to this place after eight months. Till then, stay alive!" Abium said while snapping his finger. Then, two crimson wings appeared on his back and burnt the nearby tree branches, illuminating the whole surroundings.
Without waiting for Grold's answer, Abium flapped both wings forcefully and shot like a bullet toward the sky. Meanwhile, Grold stood there with a blank expression and soon made a twisted face. A raging howl came out from its mouth, followed by cursing words in the abyssal language!
