Chapter 442 That Person?

"What?"

In one of the rooms in Seireiden, Bel Peol turned around and looked at Fecor, speaking with a surprised tone.

"That human actually escaped?"

"Yes." Fecor respectfully bowed and said, "Just a while ago, the temple was destroyed, and the human escaped directly."

"Impossible." Bel Peol frowned and said, "The chains used to bind that human are imitations of my Treasure Tool. How did he manage to break free and escape?"

Upon hearing Bel Peol's words, before Fecor could respond, Sydonay spoke up.

"There's nothing impossible about it." Sydonay touched his forehead, somewhat astonished, and said, "I still haven't recovered the horn that human cut off. Even if the chains are imitations of your Treasure Tool, he might be able to cut through them."

"...Even so, how did he cut through them?" Bel Peol's brow furrowed deeper, and she said, "I've thoroughly investigated. That human's body didn't carry any weapons. Could he have cut them with his bare hands?"

"But then again, isn't it strange that he didn't carry any weapons?" Sydonay countered. "The man did use a weapon, a powerful Treasure Tool, and yet, he didn't have it on him when we captured him. Do you believe that?"

Bel Peol fell silent immediately.

As a strategist, Bel Peol was too focused on logic, and as a result, she couldn't see through things as clearly as Sydonay did.

"The mystery of that human's body is too much. Even with one or two more, I wouldn't find it strange." Sydonay coldly snorted and said, "So, we absolutely cannot let this dangerous man escape."

Bel Peol nodded and turned to Fecor. "How is that human now?"

"He should have been intercepted by now." Fecor immediately replied. "Ribesal just returned, and a portion of the Wanderers in Seireiden has been dispatched to pursue. The rest are spread all over outside, guarding. Even if the human escapes the castle, he still cannot leave Seireiden."

Hearing this, Sydonay shook his head and said, "That's not going to be enough."

Fecor was momentarily puzzled.

This time, on the contrary, Bel Peol agreed with Sydonay's words and calmly analyzed, "Although he didn't exert his full strength and didn't use his Treasure Tool, that human once fought evenly with the General, seemingly possessing a trump card that forced the General to retreat. Relying solely on Ribesal and others might not be enough to capture this human."

As a large Denizen group, Bel Peol knew the power of the existence called the "Bal Masqué."

It was a large group that could contend with all Flame Haze without falling behind.

If they were to unleash their full strength, it would be terrifying, needless to say.

However, currently, due to the absence of the Leader, most members are scattered worldwide, each executing their own missions or, like Sydonay before, acting independently. The members remaining in Seireiden were relatively few.

In this situation, dispatching most of the Wanderers outside to be on guard might indeed be insufficient to capture Fang Li.

Thinking until here, Bel Peol hesitated for a moment and then, as if thinking of something, said to Fecor.

"Is that person still in Seireiden?"

"That person?" Fecor almost instantly understood whom Bel Peol was referring to, nodded, and replied, "Yes, the Lord is currently on standby in Seireiden."

Hearing this, a bewitching smile finally appeared on Bel Peol's face as she said, "Then let him go as well."

"That Lord?" Fecor hesitated for a moment, somewhat uncertain, and asked, "Is it really necessary to have that Lord make a move against a mere human?"

"Are you still saying such things now?" Sydonay sneered, directly stating, "I don't want to remind you again how tricky that human is. Since we can't kill him temporarily and must capture him, we must use overwhelming power to accomplish it."

"So, letting that guy go is undoubtedly the most appropriate choice. Although he's not one to show mercy, if he dies at this level, it just proves that we overestimated that human." Bel Peol closed her eyes and spoke again, "Of course, I will go after taking my Treasure Tool."

"Bel Peol-sama is also going to join the battle?" Fecor exclaimed, "And planning to use that Treasure Tool?"

"Not just Bel Peol, I'll go along too," Sydonay raised his head, the eyes beneath his sunglasses glittering with a fierce light. He spoke in a low voice, "To think that my Hecate turned into that, this time, I will use all my strength to crush him. Let me go and take that Treasure Tool as well."

"Even the General intends to use that Treasure Tool?" Fecor was genuinely shocked.

At this moment, Hecate, who had been lying on the bed, suddenly spoke.

"I will go with you."

Hecate's statement surprised all three present.

The first to react was Sydonay.

"No!"

Sydonay, rarely serious, said to Hecate, "You cannot get close to that guy; it's too dangerous!"

After all, not long ago, Hecate had turned into that because of Fang Li.

However, Hecate was equally stubborn.

"I must go."

Hecate stood up, and though her charming face still lacked any emotions, her eyes flickered with an unprecedented determination. She said, "I must get an answer from his body."

"Moreover, I am Trinity and must retrieve the Reiji Maigo (Midnight Lost Child) in his body." Hecate unemotionally continued, "Of course, I will also bring that Treasure Tool."

Now, even Sydonay couldn't refute.

As for Fecor, he had long lost words to say.

"To deal with a mere human, will the highest Trinity of 'Bal Masqué' all attack simultaneously and even bring the Leader's specially crafted Treasure Tool?" Fecor finally began to realize how tricky the human targeted by the 'Bal Masqué' was.

However, no matter how tricky, that should be the end of it.

"Trinity all mobilizing and bringing those three Noble Phantasm (Treasure Tools) made by the Leader to deal with a human? There's no one in this world who can contend with them."

After all, the Crimson Lords surpassing Trinity were only three.

And those three, one was the embodiment of the law, one was imprisoned in the Rift Between Worlds, and the last one had a contract with the Flame Haze, unable to fully manifest.

So, apart from these three, there was no one who could match Trinity.

Absolutely none.
