Chapter 425: Awakened Death

Only three hours had passed since midnight. As Gabriel was already feeling exhausted after his breakthrough, he didn't go outside or do anything out of place. Instead, he simply rested in his room, soon falling asleep.

Even he couldn't recall how long it had been since he actually slept where he didn't have to train in his dreams.

The night was silent yet many eyes were lurking in the darkness inside the Royal City of Arecia.

Lambard's maid was sitting in the prison cell, unable to sleep. Ever since she heard from Gabriel that it was her last night before she was going to be executed, she lost all her appetite and calmness.

Despite all that, she still didn't consider betraying Lambard. She kept looking at the bracelet of sealing. Lambard was so interested in Numens. And despite living with him for so long, she still didn't know how to get free from the bracelet of sealing other than the usual way of getting outside help.

"It looks like I'm never going to see you again," she muttered, looking in the distant darkness. Her eyes were blank as if she had already accepted her death.

In the scary silence, some footsteps resounded which made the young maid look up. The footsteps weren't like the footsteps of Gabriel. They were much lighter.

The maid couldn't help but wonder who could be coming at a time like this. Fortunately it wasn't long before she saw the person.

"What are you doing here?" The young maid asked, frowning. "Are you here to convince me to betray Lord Lambard as well, Holy Priestess?"

Outside the cell, Avilia stood calmly gazing at the young maid. Not a single guard could be seen anywhere.

The maid had already seen Avilia with Gabriel and knew the two were working together. She didn't expect much from the Holy Priestess before her other than trying to help Gabriel in trying to convince her.

Unfortunately, to her surprise what happened next was something she hadn't expected.

The Holy Priestess of Summoning didn't speak anything. She simply broke the lock on the cell, opening the door.

"What?" The maid stood up, stunned. She didn't understand what Avilia was doing. If she worked with Gabriel, she could've just asked him for the key. Why did she have to break the lock? Something didn't seem right.

"I know you have a lot of questions along with many misunderstandings. However, I don't have much time to explain to you." Avilia stepped closer to the maid, reaching out her hand.

She held the sealing bracelet. With her help, the sealing bracelets opened. After freeing the young maid from the sealing bracelets, Avilia kept the bracelet with her.

The young maid was just too surprised already. She didn't even notice Avilia keeping the bracelet with her.

"What are you doing?" She asked. Now that she was free, she could use her magic again. Even though she knew that her magic was nothing in front of the magic of Avilia, but if she wanted to escape, now that she didn't have to worry about the sealing bracelet, it was easy for her.

However, she didn't leave immediately. She was still a little suspicious. "Is this what Gabriel asked you to do?"

"Why would he ask me to free you? He's already prepared for your execution. I came here to free you because I don't want you to be killed," Avilia responded. "I've been working with him all this time to get him to reveal his secrets to me. However, because of you, I had to break my character and come out to help you."

"So don't make it difficult for me! Get out of here as soon as possible before Gabriel realize that something is wrong. I'll go back and continue pretending to work with him. There are still many secrets that he hasn't told me since he doesn't trust me enough!"

The more the maid heard, the more she realized what Avilia was implying. "You mean you aren't actually working with him and are just pretending to find out his secrets and his weaknesses?"

Avilia didn't answer. She just turned around. "Gabriel is much stronger than we could've expected. I knew this as soon as I saw him for the first time. That's why I didn't fight him. You already know that his element is different. Not much is known about him. So I can't take the risk. I need to know the enemy so we can defeat him when we actually fight!"

"Now don't talk too much and leave?"

Avilia left the cell and disappeared in the darkness.

The young maid still stood frozen in place. What she found out was too surprising for her. Avilia was just pretending to work with Gabriel?

'Now that I think about it, I never actually saw her do anything to help Gabriel. She never fought for him either. It looks like I found out a big secret today! Lord Lambard should be very happy! Maybe we can even use Avilia in the future!'

The young maid smirked, as if finding out a big secret. Now that she was free to use magic, her figure also disappeared into the darkness.

She appeared far away from the Royal Palace, right around the edge of the Royal City.

After appearing at the edge of the city, she checked her surroundings to make sure that she wasn't being followed before continuing.

She didn't realize that what was following her wasn't a person but her own shadow!

Back inside the Royal Palace, Avilia came out of the darkness, appearing right where she had disappeared.

"Thank you for leading us to Lambard..."

Gabriel had already given her a task and she was quite pleased to know that she had already completed half the task already.

While Avilia was following Gabriel's instructions, Gabriel was sleeping in his bedroom.

Without any training tonight, it was supposed to be quite a peaceful sleep for Gabriel. However, something wasn't right.

Instead of sleeping peacefully, Gabriel appeared more and more restless, twisting and turning in the bed. A dark aura of death had shrouded her entire body.

Fortunately, the barrier he had cast previously was still in its place, making sure that the aura of death couldn't be sensed outside the room.

The aura of death kept intensifying around Gabriel more and more. Occasionally, he could be heard speaking some incomprehensible words in his sleep that didn't match any language known.

While Gabriel's body was going through a strange phenomenon, what was really troubled was his soul and his consciousness.
