Chapter 526 The Great Jonathan
Lynn said, “Although I'm not entirely sure how powerful Astro Scepter really is, I do know that you regard Netherworld Map as important as your life. But now, you're willing to abandon Netherworld Map in favor of Astro Scepter. In that case, I choose Astro Scepter!”
After a moment of contemplation, Roland said, “Very well!”
He was originally more inclined towards Netherworld Map than Astro Scepter. Although Astro Scepter was powerful, he still felt a greater affinity for Netherworld Map. The reason why Roland wanted to choose Astro Scepter was to prompt Lynn to snatch it.
It could be said that sometimes Lynn was not that smart.
But in reality, for Lynn, the reputation of Astro Scepter was no less than that of Netherworld Map. In fact, the name of Astro Scepter even surpasses Netherworld Map. Lynn didn't have any special feelings for Netherworld Map, so choosing Astro Scepter was absolutely wise.
After reaching such an agreement, Lynn and Roland temporarily ceased the battle. Lynn then asked with a hint of curiosity, “Do you have a way to locate Jonathan?”
She had been tirelessly searching for Jonathan these past few days, but she hadn't found a single clue.
Roland then said, “The reason Jonathan is hard to find now is because he has a magic item on him. This item is called Polychromatic Mirror. The mirror can help him hide from prying eyes, concealing everything about Jonathan!”
A lightbulb went off in Lynn's head, she finally understood why she couldn't find Jonathan all this time!
Then, Lynn asked, “If that's the case, do you have any way to find Jonathan?”
Roland said, “I have some understanding of Jonathan. He seems to have some interest in Rhiannon who is always by his side. Moreover, Polychromatic Mirror was a gift from Rhiannon to him. The most crucial point is, Rhiannon is the palace leader of Moon Shadow Palace. Now, let's head to Moon Shadow Palace. I believe that as long as we capture the subordinates of Moon Shadow Palace, Rhiannon will definitely rush back!”
Lynn's brows furrowed slightly as she said, “Jonathan simply left without taking care of his woman or his friends. Do you really think that capturing a few people from Moon Shadow Palace will be enough to lure him into a trap? That idea is far too naive.”
“This is different!” Roland said, “Moon Shadow Palace belongs to Rhiannon, and she is a woman. She can't abandon the palace. When the time comes, if Rhiannon asks Jonathan to hand over the Astro Scepter, Jonathan will have no choice but to comply. After all, it was Rhiannon who led Jonathan to Pollerton Tomb.”
Lynn said, “Jonathan may seem carefree on the surface, but deep down, he's not a soft-hearted person. Astro Scepter is crucial to him, it's unlikely that he would just give it up.”
Roland said, “No matter what, we can at least give it a try.”
Lynn glanced at Roland and said meaningfully, “You were once the supreme Roland, and people respectfully called you Sacred Sovereign. Now, you even resort to threatening others' disciples for the sake of getting Astro Scepter. Don't you feel a bit of disgrace or shame in your heart?”
Roland snorted coldly, saying, “What do you know? I've already experienced death once. You must
always understand that being alive is the most important thing. No matter how great one's reputation is in life, it's worth less than nothing after death. What's the use of having a grand reputation? What use are the title to me if I were dead?” He paused, then said, “Since I have the chance to start over this time, I will seize every opportunity and strive to survive.”
“Survive?” Lynn looked deeply at Roland. She didn't criticize him, but said, “You are now alone, so you can disregard your reputation, but I cannot. Let's do this, we'll go to Moon Shadow Palace together, but you'll handle the matters, I'll just watch from the side. If I find that you can't suppress them, then I'll step in!”
“What a joke!” Roland suddenly became very angry and said, “Do you really think I'm a pushover? If I can't even suppress a third-rate faction like Moon Shadow Palace, do I even deserve to be Sacred Sovereign?”
Lynn was taken aback. She had initially thought that Roland would find her demands excessive. However, to her surprise, it was her comment about his inability to suppress Moon Shadow Palace that had angered him.
That being said, Lynn really lacked emotional intelligence when she made a comment! Here we had the mighty Roland, and she actually thought that he might not even be able to suppress Moon Shadow Palace. Hearing this, how could Roland not be furious?
However, these were just minor details. Right after that, Roland set off with Lynn.
On the desolate island, Rhiannon and Jonathan were still quite relaxed and comfortable.
Jonathan had gradually regained all his thoughts, but he was much quieter than before. He no longer harbored any inappropriate thoughts towards Rhiannon.
Just then, Rhiannon's face suddenly changed. She said, “This is bad. My gatekeeper is urgently reporting to me. Something has happened at Moon Shadow Palace. It must be Lynn who's causing trouble at the palace.”
Jonathan knew for sure that Rhiannon must have some sort of magic item related to Moon Shadow Palace. Without hesitation, he said, “Let's go. I'll accompany you to go back!”
Rhiannon was taken aback, then she said, “Lynn is looking for you. Are you really confident you can handle her?”
Jonathan gave a slight smile and said, “Don't worry. I am always well prepared. It's about time we settle these new grudges and old scores.”
Rhiannon was worried about Moon Shadow Palace, so she decided not to say anything more for the time being.
Suddenly, Jonathan waved his hand and a golden gate appeared before him and Rhiannon.
“This is...” Rhiannon was instantly puzzled.
Jonathan said, “This door is a void portal that I've created using my mana. It is similar to the dimensional portal of the original Holy Scripture.”
“You made this with your bare hands?” Rhiannon couldn't help but express her surprise.
With a smile, Jonathan said, “Of course, we still need Astro Scepter. The scepter has the power to condense or alter Spatial Law within Moranta.”
Rhiannon suddenly understood and immediately stopped talking. She and Jonathan entered the void portal!
The moment Rhiannon stepped into the void portal, she saw countless elemental energy and magnetic field molecules, with space-time molecules disintegrating wildly. It was as if she was in the midst of a very fierce and dangerous vortex!
I should never be fooled by Jonathan's casual wave of his hand, the structure within the void portal was incredibly complex.
It was not just complex, but it was like a precision instrument, where not even the slightest error could happen! It was more precise than any magic formation!
Jonathan spent a long decade in a sapphire, where he fully utilized his ingenious mind. The void portal was one of his masterpieces!
Now, the entire program of the void portal had been engraved into Astro Scepter. With a mere thought from Jonathan, the void portal would form.
When Rhiannon and Jonathan stepped out of the void portal, they found themselves already in the airspace above Moon Shadow Palace.
That desolate island was a thousand miles away from Moon Shadow Palace, but with the help of the
void portal, one could arrive in an instant!
Such divine power was beyond the reach of any advanced technology in the main world.
It could only happen when high technology truly accomplish wormhole leaps.
At this point, it was already five in the afternoon, and the sunset on the horizon was a ray of fiery red. The shimmering waves on the sea surface were so dazzling that it was impossible to keep one's eyes open.
Gusts of sea breeze still wafted through the air.
The sea and the sunlight was perfect for a yacht ride, sipping red wine, accompanied by a beautiful woman.
However, at this moment, Jonathan and Rhiannon had no choice but to face a new round of perils which was a matter of life and death!
Moon Shadow Palace had a rather expansive square.
At this moment, most of the disciples from Moon Shadow Palace were trapped by Roland's Netherworld Formation using the netherworld river water, unable to move a muscle in that square!
The so-called Netherworld Formation was nothing more than a portion of the netherworld river water being summoned to form a magical water formation! This netherworld river water combined with the spiritual imprint of Roland, were something that the gatekeeper of Moon Shadow Palace simply could not break through.
Roland waited in the cold, his ultimatum had been issued. If Jonathan and Rhiannon failed to appear within an hour, he would kill one member of Moon Shadow Palace every minute.
Now, merely five minutes had past.
Just then, Jonathan and Rhiannon descended from the sky, landing ten meters in front of Roland directly.
The gatekeeper of Moon Shadow Palace was overjoyed when he saw the return of the palace leader.
Esmeray, Stella, Waverly, and the others were delighted to see Jonathan arrive. They could see hope now, having witnessed Jonathan's prowess before.
Jonathan and Rhiannon stood facing Roland. The sea breeze blew and their clothes were billowing.
At this moment, Jonathan's feelings upon seeing Roland were somewhat peculiar. After all, it was like seeing Roland again after ten years!
However, Roland despised Jonathan so much. In fact, he and Jonathan were just separated less than a day ago.
Rhiannon had initially thought that it was Lynn who came, but to her surprise, it was actually Roland who was there.
Jonathan regained his composure, and with a hearty laugh, he said, “I cannot imagine that a dignified Sacred Sovereign could stoop so low and carry out such despicable acts.” He paused for a moment,
then added, “But it's not surprising. The title is nothing but nonsense. I am your savior, yet you even want to kill me, don't you?”
“You little thief!” Roland was instantly furious. At the same time, he was somewhat puzzled. How did this guy just show up like this and with such audacity? Who does he think he is and how did he arrive so quickly?
“Brat, do you think possessing Astro Scepter grants you the right to be on par with me?” Roland asked sternly.
Jonathan said, “Let's cut the crap, Roland. You've been living in vain all these years. Today, I'm going to teach you how to be humane. How you should treat the person who saved your life. If it wasn't for me, you'd still be sound asleep in that woman Lynn's Heavenly Palace.”
Roland flew into a fit of rage, exclaiming, “This is outrageous! You brat, if I don't kill you today, I swear I won't be human!”
“You were never human, to begin with!” Jonathan sneered.
Suddenly, Roland directly drew out Abyssal Spear, launching another attack on Jonathan.
Abyssal Spear was a fierce weapon! Once unleashed, it was like a long rainbow piercing through the sun.
But this time, Jonathan was not in a hurry.
He struck swiftly, and in the next second, Abyssal Spear was already in his grasp. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
At that moment, Roland was utterly astounded. This guy actually caught Abyssal Spear barehanded. Is this some kind of joke?
In reality, Jonathan's technique was far from simple. He altered Spatial Law using Astro Scepter in an instant...
