Chapter 797: The Nightmare Cell

“Not a problem, I’ll deal with the one standing the furthest away.”

—

The only sources of light in the hall were the dim candles along the walls. The people in charge of the tower were obviously not confident in the security provided by technology. There was basically no electronic equipment in the tower.

However, such an antique environment provided Mo Fan with an advantage. The Fleeing Shadow was perfect in a dimly lit environment. He could easily move wherever he wanted…

Mo Fan turned into a shadow and approached the three guards along the ceiling, watching them carefully. He took his time approaching, just in case there was a Light Magician among them.

Light Magicians were specifically sensitive to moving shadows. They would easily detect his presence from a hundred meters away. Mo Fan was trying to probe their reactions at that range, to see if they had the urge to look at the ceiling.

According to Mochizuki Chihaya, Mo Fan had to subdue the guards in an instant. Each of them had a certain device. If they pressed the button on the device three times at a certain rate, it would immediately send a signal to the people outside. As such, Mo Fan was feeling quite nervous.

Mo Fan slowly moved forward when he was a hundred meters away from the guards.

-Damn, how unlucky am I?-, Mo Fan cursed inside, seeing the guard in the middle suddenly lift his gaze and look in his direction.

Mo Fan did not dare to move, shrouded by the darkness. He did not even dare to move his gaze around.

“Yamaji, what are you looking at?” asked a guard in a rather slack tone.

“Somehow, it feels like the presence of the darkness is a bit stronger,” replied the guard called Yamaji.

“The whole tower is placed under a formation of darkness. It’s common for its energy to pulsate at times. Stop trying to scare yourself just because some people were killed tonight. The person who caused the mess is having a pleasant dream in the cell behind us!” said the first guard.

“I still think we should take a look,” said Yamaji.

“Is it because one of the candles died?” said the slacking guard, pointing at one of the candles.

“Oh, that must be it.”

“HAHAHA, I was nervous like you when I was first assigned here, stop trying to scare yourself. Hang on… another candle just died!”

“Let me check… another one died again, something isn’t right!”

The four guards were startled when they discovered that a few of the candles on the walls had gone out.

As they stepped forward to take a closer look into the darkness, six eerie flickers came from the ceiling, and six shadowy thorns silently dashed forward and nailed the shadows of three of the guards precisely.

The first spike sealed off their movement, and the second spike sealed off their minds!

Mo Fan’s move was precise and clean. He made his move as soon as the guards were distracted, sealing off their movements and their thoughts. Not only were they unable to move, they had no chance to cast a spell too!

“Ambush!” The guard who was the furthest away was alerted. He shrieked and immediately took out his alarm device.

He was just about to press the button when a gray-blue demon branch sprang out from the wall and snatched the device away from him before he could press the button a second time!

The guard yelled, but the demon branch was extremely fast. It quickly wrapped around the guard’s legs, waist, and covered his mouth.

The guard was cocooned in just a few seconds, although its size was nothing like the one that had trapped Mo Fan in the duel. However, it still subdued the guard. He could not even move a single finger.
