Chapter 579: Connect With His Root

The guards in front of Zara’s holding cell were doing their duty when a strange-looking ball rolled to a stop at their feet.

They tensed immediately, turning toward the direction it had come from only to see a familiar face.

"Finn?" one of them called, confused.

But Finn only smiled sinisterly and gestured downward.

The two guards glanced down, and that was when they noticed the odd-looking ball was now beeping with light.

The beeping stopped abruptly, followed by a sharp hiss as the ball cracked open. White vapor spilled out, but in seconds, the vapor thickened into heavy smoke, rapidly spreading and saturating the entire corridor.

"What the hell?!" one of them coughed, swiping at the smoke in a futile attempt to clear his vision.

Meanwhile, Finn calmly pulled a compact filtration mask from behind his back and strapped it securely over his nose and mouth. When the smoke reached him, it rolled harmlessly past, unable to penetrate the filters, and left him completely unaffected.

The two guards tried to run, but it was already too late. The wolfsbane smoke invaded their lungs, burning and paralyzing them from the inside. Their legs buckled as they gasped desperately for air, and within moments, both collapsed to their knees, completely unconscious.

Finn stood over the unconscious guards, the smoke swirling ominously around him. With them out of the way, he stepped forward and entered the holding room.
