Lord of the Mysteries

Chapter 1205 A Thousand-Year-Old Trap

Amon!

Blasphemer Amon!

Leonard was no stranger to the person in front of him. Not only had he faced his avatar, but he had also heard of “His” various deeds and nasty character from Old Man Pallez Zoroast.

At that moment, Leonard’s thoughts nearly froze as his mind went blank. Only a small number of thoughts could spin.

Amon’s lips suddenly quivered as “He” muttered a raving that was completely at the level of a deity.

One voice after another echoed in Leonard’s mind as though it came from the countless number of Amons:

“Are you pleasantly surprised? Are you shocked?”

“After realizing that I won’t be able to get Sefirah Castle any time soon, I shifted my focus to Backlund…”

“If it wasn’t to fool all of you, why would I have played such a simple cat-and-mouse game with him?”

“I think you two should be in contact…”

“He must’ve told you that I’m still tracking him and sabotaging his operations, that I even set a trap for him at his destinations…”

“That’s just an avatar that’s close to Sequence 1…”

“Ah, right. Pallez, I forgot to tell you that in the later years of the Fourth Epoch, I pretended to be the ancestor of the Jacob family. I had long swallowed ‘Him’ in secret. Then, I watched ‘His’ descendants panic. Then, I thought of a way to add another secret treasure trove to the place where Tudor became Blood Emperor…”

“I didn’t finish off these fellows, because I had a premonition that this treasure trove would be very useful. I had an avatar that had been sleeping there for more than a thousand years, patiently waiting for someone to open the treasure trove. As for the other avatars, I didn’t synchronize this information to ‘Them.’ That way, I might be able to create a ruse at some point in time…”

“Yes, this kind of ‘synchronization’ is something I invented. Pallez, you’re quite behind the times…”

“In order to confirm your whereabouts, I watched that bunch of fellows destroy the traps and take the items away. I watched your avatar steal the characteristic and Sealed Artifact from their hands. I watched ‘Him’ carefully devour and digest it. Now, my patience has finally paid off…”

“I guess you must be thinking of how to stall for time and wait for a deity’s descent…”

These voices overlapped each other, tearing through Leonard’s thoughts and hurting his soul. It made his head swell and contract, causing a bunch of short black hair to grow on his face. It made his ribs and waist bulge as though it was about to form a new body.

Leonard and Pallez… Amon stole the corpse cathedral from “His” brother and used it to delay a divine descent… So it turns out that when “He” suggested that we play the game of “who will be the first to find Black Demonic Wolf Kotar,” “He” had never thought of deciding on a winner. “He” didn’t care what the stakes were either. “His” goal was to draw my attention and believe that “He” is still pursuing me and trying to steal Sefirah Castle from me… The trap hidden in the Jacob family’s treasure trove was planted by Amon for one to two thousand years.
