Chapter 140: Desmond Returns! Kranos Awakes!
A shadow flickered beneath the blood-red skies. The shadow’s eyes were hollow; however, upon closer look, one would notice that there was a spark in the eyes of the shadow.
"Finally at the Scarlet Moon Organization after three months of traveling!" Desmond said in a low, guttural voice. It sounded extremely hoarse, as though two metals were scraping against each other.
Glancing at the blood-red tower in front of him, Desmond’s figure flickered and appeared inside. The moment he did, three figures appeared, each of them wearing a mysterious black mask.
Their horrifying auras pressed down on him, and for a moment, Desmond felt he was closer to death even more than when he was fighting Kathryn.
Having no chance to resist the pressure, he quickly shouted in his hoarse voice, "It’s me, Masters! Desmond!" His voice sounded like a struggle, not only due to his incomplete fusion of his special elements but because he was trying to endure the pressure as well.
"Desmond?" one of the black-masked men said in surprise. Desmond quickly recognized this voice as the Librarian, his master, whom he had studied under previously.
"Yes. I was able to survive Kathryn due to certain reasons," Desmond spoke vaguely, still unwilling to reveal his soul element.
However, the Librarian, who had already discovered it a while ago, understood that this was one of the special abilities of the soul element. With that, his eyes underneath the mask burned with greed.
However, he controlled himself. He had to let Desmond grow some more before harvesting him! Sensing that the other elders were also curious about how Desmond survived, he quickly changed the topic.
"Kathryn?" he was slightly puzzled. He didn’t recall sending Desmond on such a mission.
"Yes! I took the mission to discover Kranos’ secrets. However, Kathryn, the princess of the Elven Immortal World, interfered and almost killed me."
