This necromancer is going to seduce the beautiful girls who are already dead.

"Then why did you tell me? Wouldn't it have been better to just have my memory erased? That way I wouldn't have gotten anything."

Abis asked.

"Who would like to have their memory erased? I'm warning you, don't expect to get any information out of us! Even if you want to take us hostage, you'd better feed and house us properly!"

The elder then became smug and said to Abyss.

"It's great that you told me on your own initiative."

However, contrary to his expectations, he thought Abyss would be troubled after hearing this, but the boy in front of him seemed quite satisfied.

"why are you laughing?"

"Because I originally wanted to send one of you directly for interrogation to see the result, but now you've told me about the mechanism on you that prevents information leaks, which is great. One of you won't have to have his memory erased because of this."

Abyss said earnestly.

The elder breathed a sigh of relief: "Hmph, good to know."

"Fine, I'm not locking you up anymore. Since I can't get any information out of you, you're useless to me. I've been thinking about it, and your ranks aren't high enough. Using you as hostages probably won't get me anything in return. So there's no need for me to keep you here and waste my prison."

Abyss suddenly became indifferent, waving his hand dismissively as he addressed the four elders.

The four elders never expected that this Abyss would be so easy to talk to.

Are they going to release them now?

Just what kind of strange person is this necromancer from the mainland? Although many necromancers are not entirely mentally sound, it is extremely rare to find someone as eccentric as the Abyss.

"Are you serious? You're going to let us go?" An elder looked at Abyss suspiciously.

Abyss nodded firmly: "Of course, I don't like lying."

His eyes were clear as water, and he didn't look like he was lying at all.

Moreover, he didn't just say it; he beckoned Flora, who was standing to the side, over and instructed her, "Flora, you're in charge of taking the skeleton servants out. It's not a good idea to open a spatial rift here; let's find a safer place."

Flora nodded, then walked gracefully toward the elders.

Flora's beauty goes without saying; she could be considered a benchmark of aesthetics on the continent. When she walked toward the elders, they even felt somewhat honored.

“Let me see you out.” Flora walked to the four elders and began to untie the special ropes binding their hands.

One, two, three, four. Flora untied the ropes binding the four elders' hands one by one.

However, the skeleton servants did not leave with the four elders under Flora's leadership—the four elders had already fallen asleep.

"Good night, sweet dreams." Abyss watched the four sleeping soundly, his smile growing wider. "Since interrogation won't work, I'll let you tell me all this information bit by bit in your dreams."

Chapter 324 Shila Has Grown Up

"I don't like lying."

The four elders, fast asleep, were carried to the prison by the skeleton servants. Flora then returned to the Abyss and, with a hint of coquetry, spoke to him.

Abis chuckled and patted Flora's head: "I'm sorry, but this is the only way to make the four of them relax a little and be less wary. I'll make it up to you later, so remember this, I owe you a favor."

Flora had just used the power of the Nightmare Lord to hypnotize all four of them.

Now, all four of them are in the same dream, and it's a beautiful dream. From now on, everything that happens in the dream will unfold exactly as they imagine.

The Three Venerables will intervene, the Lord of Delusion will lend a hand, and the Abyss will eventually be found in its hiding place...

During this time, they will definitely hold meetings to discuss issues. Moreover, Flora, who is in charge of this dream, will also set up some events that are completely unnoticed to induce these four people to reveal all the information they know.

This is Abyss's method. He first said that he was going to release the four elders, making them temporarily fall into a state of doubt. Then, he contacted Flora through mind sharing and had her complete the task of pulling the four people into the dream.

Next, all we have to do is wait outside for them to ramble on about all the information they have in their dreams.

“After all, even the Three Venerables couldn’t prevent information leaks caused by divine power,” Rebecca said with a smile. “Their main method is still magic.”

Abyss nodded, "That's right."

This is his greatest asset in his direct confrontation with the Council of the Dead—the cooperation between the Abyss and the evil gods is the closest.

The Council of the Dead does indeed cooperate with extraterrestrial evil gods, but their cooperation is loose.

For example, the Lord of the Fallen, although He is worshipped by the Council of the Dead, does not regard the Council of the Dead as His ally.

They were merely exploiting each other, unlike the Abyss, which offered its own and its retinue's souls as refuge to the sane evil god.

"So what are you planning to do next?" Leona asked from the side. "Can I go beat someone up now?"

"There is still a final group of slaves who have not been rescued. I will rescue all the slaves, and after that, I will search for the location of the Lord of Delusion," the Abyss said.

"Furthermore, I need to see how much the elders of the Council of the Dead know about their collaborative project. I am very concerned about their plan to bomb the continent, and if they are indeed planning this, then I must stop them."

“We can’t let them harm innocent people at will.” Flora nodded, indicating her deep agreement with Abyss’s idea.

"Once I find out where the Lord of Delusion is, our formal operation against their top forces should be able to begin. At that time, you can beat up whoever you want."

"Yay!" Leona happily raised her hands. She hadn't punched anyone in a long time, and with a formidable enemy at hand, she was itching to do it.

“The Sacred Tree is all set up, just one more step,” Agnes said, standing next to Leona.

Abyss turned to Agnes and nodded to her: "Alright, then the final step of my plan depends on you."

“Hmm.” Agnes nodded, mimicking Leona by raising her hands expressionlessly. “Yay!”

After speaking with Agnes, Abyss looked at Sheila, who was standing to the side.

Sheila has been exploring the continent with Rebecca these past few days, and this impressive journey has greatly broadened the girl's horizons.

Meanwhile, Rebecca's extensive knowledge, Flora's refinement, and Agnes' wisdom also greatly benefited Sheila.

Now Abyss could see immense confidence on Sheila's face, and her eyes often sparkled with wisdom.

She has grown up now and is completely different from the girl who was obsessed with the knightly code.

Although Sheila no longer recites the chivalric code verbatim, she is still capable of being an excellent knight. Her selfless nature, coupled with her intelligence, makes her perfectly suited for any role, whether lord or knight.

“Sheila, how have you been these days?” Abyss asked with a smile.

“Mr. Abyss! I’ve been feeling wonderful these past few days! Miss Rebecca has been showing us around, and I’ve learned so much from everyone,” Sheila replied happily. “Is there any new task for me?”

“Actually, yes… Sheila, how are you doing with the Eganda’s abilities now?” Abyss asked.

Sheila proudly pulled the Ergunda from her bosom and nodded, saying, "I've been practicing using the Ergunda these past few days, and now I can control my abilities quite well. When I'm looking at things, I don't use up as much energy as before."

"And how do you feel when you see the indescribable—like my soul, for example?" Abyss asked again.

Sheila was a little puzzled as to why Abyss would ask her this, but she still replied, "I think I've made progress, but I haven't had a chance to see it. Or... Mr. Abyss, why don't you stand here now and let me see you?"

Abis nodded with delight. He was no longer impersonating Anita; his soul resided within himself.

Seeing that the Abyss had agreed, Sheila picked up the Eganda and prepared to look at the Abyss.

"Do you need me to install a safety device for you?" Rebecca asked.

“I’ve already seen the true face of Mr. Abyss’s soul once, and I think we can try without the safety device,” Sheila said.

Rebecca thought for a moment. She was a little worried that Sheila would be really hurt by seeing the true face of the Abyss's soul, but she finally agreed with Sheila's idea: "Okay, then, let Agnes cast some magic to enhance your mental strength, so that you won't be too shocked."

“Okay.” Sheila did not refuse Rebecca’s offer.

After conducting extensive research with the team in Eternal Night City, Rebecca can be considered an expert in this field, so listening to Rebecca can't hurt.

Agnes cast a protective spell on Sheila to prevent her from going insane even if she suffered a huge shock.

Sheila placed Ergunda over her eyes, took a deep breath, opened her eyes, and looked at the Abyss.

As the true face of the Abyss's soul was revealed to Sheila, her breathing became rapid, her face turned pale, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

But this adverse reaction gradually disappeared, and Sheila quickly regained her composure.

She put Ergunda down with delight and said, "Mr. Abyss! My endurance has improved!"

Chapter 325 Looting

When Sheila first observed the Abyss, she could clearly feel that her resistance to observing the indescribable had increased considerably.

When Sheila first observed the soul of the Abyss, she was wearing a safety device, but she still suffered a severe mental shock, and her thinking was even seriously affected. If it weren't for the safety device, she might have gone insane.

This time, however, Sheila felt much less pressure and was even able to look directly at the Abyss's true form.

That was the true form of an evil god in this world, not a projection or a dream illusion; ordinary people simply could not witness it.

Agnes deliberately maintained the same level of mental amplification as last time, so that Sheila could directly feel her progress.

And now, Sheila can finally proudly say that her abilities have improved.

Abyss breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Sheila's words. He had been somewhat worried that while Sheila had made significant progress in observing ordinary objects, she might encounter the same problem when observing higher-order beings.

In retrospect, that worry was somewhat unnecessary; Sheila's progress has been surprisingly rapid.

“That’s great. I was worried that you wouldn’t be able to improve your resistance to observing higher-level beings because you didn’t have dedicated practice opportunities,” Abyss nodded slightly.

“I never expected to improve so much. To put it roughly, I think my resistance has increased five or six times.” Sheila’s face was flushed with excitement.

She is quite proud of her ability to make good use of her talents.

"By the way, ABC, why are you asking Sheila this?"

Leona asked curiously from the side.

Abyss has not yet told them about his new plans.

"Because I want Sheila to help me look at something."

Abis held up one finger and said.

The girls exchanged glances, and recalling how Abyss had asked Sheila to observe them to confirm their resistance when they saw a higher-ranking being, they quickly came to their conclusion.

Leona's eyes widened: "You mean..."

"Lord of Delusion?" Rebecca raised an eyebrow.

Abyss nodded seriously and said, "Yes, I want Sheila to see the true face of the Lord of Delusion."

"What is the true face of the Lord of Delusion? Is it what he was like before he became an evil god?" Flora asked. "But what good would it do to see that?"
