Chapter 525: 521 Reversal (2)

The fight between the ambushers and Seirende's people intensified as a sense of desperation aroused on both sides.

"This is not good… I have to think of a way to escape…" Looking at the chaos, Crown Prince Ranon determined that it will be futile for them to fight unless the rear army joins them in the fight.

With Leon's appearance, their overwhelming strength in numbers was no longer an advantage.

Crown Prince Ranon desperately used his brains just to keep Leon busy and find a way to escape so that he could call his reinforcements.

He looked around and checked if he could send more men to pressure Leon only for his gaze to land on the prisoner's area which was still protected by Mishael's team.

A smile bloomed on his face as his eyes flickered in determination. He sneakily retreated back, away from Leon, Kazimir, Antoine, and Mishael's vision, and started to carry out his plan.

'Summon shadows…' He mentally cast a spell as he kept himself well hidden in the crowd. This way, none on the Seirende's side would notice that his power was already utilizing their shadows as a hiding ground.

Slowly, his puppets moved from one people's shadow to another until they reached the premises of the prisoner's area.

When he was about to reach the carriage, he did his best to diminish the presence of his puppets so that none of the people around would detect what he was doing.

In a few minutes, the shadow puppets successfully infiltrated the shadows of the carriage, however, Crown Prince Ranon did not do any drastic movements yet.

Instead, he started to directly engage in a fight after ensuring that the shadow puppets were properly settled down in the carriage.

'Now I just need to buy time…' He thought while using his casting powers to finally join the battlefield.

"Wind storm!" He shouted as his mana conjured to create a powerful wind gale to target Kazimir and Antoine's area.

"Watch out!" Kazimir shouted at Antoine who was fighting above ground. The wind gale was several meters wide and tall and would surely affect those who were fighting midair, so he could not help but panic for his second brother and his men.

Fortunately, Antoine and his crew reacted quickly and managed to barely resist the destructive wind gale. After that, both Kazimir and Antoine moved their attention to Crown Prince Ranon.

"Wait… heh... Are you two teaming up to fight against me? Isn't this dishonorable as a monarch, First, and Second Prince?" Crown Prince Ranon mocked them as he swung his silver sword that was ridden with a faint purplish aura.

"There is no dishonor in apprehending an evil man." Antoine landed on the ground and joined Kazimir in facing Ranon.

"What is evil and what is really good? Only the victors had the right to define what it was!" Crown Prince Ranon shrugged and started attacking the two despite being alone.

Slash!

Kazimir and Antoine could not help but be amazed at Crown Prince Ranon's prowess, indeed he is the Crown Prince of the Vanderford. His skills were clearly above anyone of his peers.

Add to the fact that he is a strong mage and a curse user, the brothers could not help but become vigilant and careful in terms of dealing with him.

Antoine dealt with the sword blows by Ranon while Kazimir supported him by engaging in some sneak attack, all while they were dodging the Crown Prince's barrage of spells and curse attacks.

Just a few minutes of fighting made them already sweat profusely for every attack made by Crown Prince Ranon was out to get their lives in one shot.

Crown Prince Ranon was actually a dual-element wind and lightning mage (not including the secretive shadow element, which was used for stealth purposes). His fighting style is piercingly sharp and fast while his attack range is wide and omnidirectional.

With that dangerous wide range, attacks came from everywhere which made Antoine and Kazimir unable to overpower him despite their numbers. During the exchange, they could only do their best to dodge and guard in his attacks.

But as they kept on fighting, Kazimir and Antoine also became used to each other's fighting styles and had become more synchronized in their attacks.

Kazimir is more gifted in speed and flexibility because of his wind element attributes while Antoine is more blessed in close combat prowess.

Add to the fact that he can borrow his contracted beasts' abilities, he can also exhibit pseudo-devourer capabilities like overwhelming strength and durability in a short period of time.

With their newfound understanding of each other, they were finally able to contain Crown Prince Ranon's ferocious attack and fight back.

"Tsk!" Seeing that the two brothers were getting more and more dangerous in their attacks, Crown Prince Ranon decided that this is the right time to check what the puppets have achieved.

Splitting his senses into two, half of his consciousness was transferred to the shadow puppets, and saw how the prisoners' security mechanisms were made.

The shadow puppets have already managed to sneak past the physical mechanisms however their progress was halted by the multilayered security arrays that secured the prisoners from the outside world.

'It appears that I need to focus on mentally controlling the puppets…' Crown Prince Ranon suppressed the displease in his outward appearance and started to plan how to disengage.

Now that his puppets have already infiltrated the prison carriages successfully, his mission to face the two annoying brothers was already achieved.

Without hesitation, he quickly pulled out of Kazimir and Antoine's attack area and blended once again into the crowd of soldiers.

The brothers thought that he felt the danger posed by their attacks and so he could only choose to retreat. And so they took the chance to also try and get their way to the crowd of enemy soldiers and chance the hiding crown prince.

However, they were already meant to fail as Crown Prince Ranon, just like Arabella and Nikolai had already hidden through the shadows.

Even after searching for so long, they could only deal with the sea of enemy knights in front of them and wait until they spotted Ranon hiding on the battlefield.

On the other hand, Crown Prince Ranon swiftly swam through the battlefield shadows and slowly settled on the nearest shadow of the gorge in the prison area. This way none of the soldiers would sense his presence while trying to decipher the mechanisms of the shadow.

He immersed his consciousness through the shadow puppets and saw that the interior of the prison cage was ridden with multiple runes. Saying that the array structure is complicated is an understatement!

He never saw such an extensive multi-layered array formation that does not disrupt each other's mana source while being effective at the same time!

'There's only one way to deal with this…' Crown Prince Ranon thought as he scrutinized the complicated runes.

'Only the corrosive power from the brute force of the curse can be more effective than slowly deciphering these runes…'

And so the moment he decided, he had already summoned a thin strip of his curse power and channeled them through the shadow puppets.

He controlled the stream of curse power into fibrous thin strips so that none of the people around could feel its presence.

While the process took a few minutes, he was able to gather a good amount of curse power inside the carriage.

He did not waste any second and immediately started to use the accumulated curse power to melt and corrode the rune inscriptions with the thinnest layer in the prison area.

'Just one tiny hole is enough for me to take them out of this prison… After that, they can take the spirit fragments I took with me so that they can finally join the fight.' Crown Prince Ranon thought in his mind.

'If not for the prisoners being the ready vessels for the curse power, I would not have done such a troublesome thing!' He complained in his heart as he watched the curse power do its job.

The true reason why he and the pope insisted to retrieve the Vesala traitors was that their bodies were already trained and suitable spirit fragment vessels for their Lord Raven.

If not for that fact, then they would never even bother to put on a show that the main temple cared for their case.

Retrieving them meant that their Lord Raven would have many ways to reveal himself while they were in the process of making the perfect vessel through Rachana and Leon's genes.

"You sure are desperate to free these prisoners aren't you, Crown Prince?" While deep in thought, Crown Prince Ranon was suddenly disrupted by a chilling voice coming in front of the spot he was hiding.

Leon was looking at the shadow where he hid, and continued, "You do not need to go through that tedious process… I will open the prison carriage for you…"

Without waiting for Crown Prince Ranon to comprehend what he was saying, Leon snapped his fingers and activated the mechanisms of the prison carriage.

Such a large commotion led everyone to look at the prisoner's area and witnessed something unbelievable.

The prison carriages were empty!
