Chapter 1096 - Caught 2 (1/2)

‘Damnit, I saw it when we came in. I would be able to record the process of Mafa Merlin’s experiments with my image crystal if I could take just one more look.

‘With it, I could obtain the technique to refine the Beast God’s Blood. This would be a huge contribution to the Shadow Tower and I would just need a drop of Beast God’s Blood to advance to the Heaven Rank at that time.

‘After advancing to the Heaven Rank, my Shadow Stealth would definitely become an Ultimate Spell and nothing would be able to block my path from now on, no one could ever stop me.

‘That damned three-faced monster, don’t think that you caught me just because you discovered me…

‘Hmpf, although these guys are powerful, no one discovered the image crystal I’m carrying. And it’s active! It will record anything I see!

‘You had best lead me to the laboratory…’

Byron wasn’t struggling, he was actually looking forward to it. And sure enough, the door to the laboratory was opened and two mages led Byron in after a few seconds.

In the alchemy laboratory, Lin Yun was in the middle of his alchemy experiment and simply didn’t pay attention to the people behind him. Once his experiment finished, he turned around and saw Byron.

Lin Yun smiled, his eyes shining with interest.

‘Planar Infiltrator? It’s not easy for one of those to appear in this era, I truly didn’t expect to encounter one…’

Lin Yun recalled the records of Planar Infiltrators, interest visible on his face.

Plane Infiltrators were the most infamous existences during Noscent’s peak.

These guys were able to infiltrate planes, and they were able to sneak into a Planar Path as long as they found the location of its entrance, whether it was opened or closed.

Moreover, these guys’ concealment abilities were extremely formidable and they could rarely be obstructed. The most famous one was the first one to be called Planar Infiltrator by everyone.

For over a century, every time a plane rich in resources was discovered, the planar coordinates would immediately be known by some interested forces.

The fights over the planes were extremely fierce. Later, someone discovered the truth. A man claiming to be a Planar Infiltrator sold the coordinates of the planes to many forces.

There would always be people buying them. For a century, no one knew who that guy was and only called him the Planar Infiltrator.

It was only a century later that a mage controlling a Spatial Venom Snake’s eye actually discovered the Planar Infiltrator infiltrating a plane from the Planar Path.

After being captured, the Planar Infiltrator’s secrets were unveiled, and people learnt that he was merging with the shadow of the Planar Paths to infiltrate the planes. No one expected that, they thought that he was using some spatial spell to infiltrate the planes.

In the past century, the defenses all forces set up for their Planar Paths were made out to resist spatial magic, so no one could have ever discovered him.

But now, this small thief was discovered sneaking into his Demiplane. How could Lin Yun be cheerful, this guy had clearly come to steal the technique to refine Beast God’s Blood.

A wisp of mana flew out and transformed into a Mana Hand that grabbed into Byron’s shadow.

Suddenly, an image crystal appeared within that Mana Hand and was shattered into pieces as the Mana Hand formed a fist.

Shock flashed in Byron’s eyes, immediately after, a wisp of special power fluctuations appeared around him and the Demiplane’s elemental power formed a three-meter-big cage around Byron before he was thrown out of the laboratory.

Lin Yun controlled the Demiplane’s power to form a three-meter-big cage imprisoning Byron. That space was cut off from the outside world and even suppressed by the power of the Demiplane. Unless his power could match the entire Demiplane’s power, he would never be able to escape.

This was the best way to imprison a Planar Infiltrator. There was no need for a secure cage, they only needed to cut off access to the shadows.

After easily imprisoning Byron, Lin Yun took his mind off this matter and kept researching the Beast God’s Blood.

With this matter rapidly settled, no one paid attention to this matter in the camp and they continued doing what they were doing.

But there were two worried people outside the camp.

Dylas and Sizhang were gathered together with terrible expressions.

Dylas dispatched people to take a look around the camp, but they didn’t discover anything from a distance. The camp seemed to be operating normally.

“Sir Sizhang, I’m afraid things aren’t so good. Our people have yet to return. It’ll soon be a day since they infiltrated Mafa Merlin’s camp, that should be enough to take dozens of trips around the camp.

“Even if they had no success, Byron would have sent someone to report back. Yet not a single person came back and the camp is very peaceful.

“They might have already died, the people I dispatched must have unfortunately been killed by Mafa Merlin…”

Dylas’ expression was unsightly, he was even somewhat pale.

As for Sizhang, he was even paler, just like an Undead.

“Sir Dy… Sir Dylas, this shouldn’t be. Hasn’t it been less than a day? They shouldn’t have completed their mission yet, that’s why they have yet to come out.

“Let’s wait a bit, they’ll definitely return, definitely, right?
