Chapter 3233 Ignoring Their Fate
As their brains began to shut down, their consciousness gradually drifted away.
With nothing left in their vision other than a blur, their eyelids were so heavy that they could no longer hold them up.
Having their spiritual bone dug out of them was the equivalent of having their life force extracted.
It was as if the source of their lives had been removed by someone else.
As a result, death wasn’t far.
While the Bonemasters were busy nearby, Azure Dragon and his companions were left abandoned after having served their purpose.
As time went on, the Bonemasters successfully amalgamated the five elemental spiritual bones together, which was a crucial step in the process.
Subsequently, all that was left to do was transplant it into the young man.
In essence, the operation was on the brink of success.
As for the twenty-odd guards outside, one of their faces turned grim suddenly.
“There seems to be someone heading here,” he remarked coldly.
“That’s impossible! We didn’t notice anything at all.”
While the rest of them tried to feel their surroundings, they didn’t manage to sense anything.
It was probably due to the distance and also the fact that they weren’t strong enough.
The guard that first brought up the matter added, “To be honest, I didn’t sense anything strange from the surroundings, but my gut feeling is screaming at me that someone is approaching!”
“Huh? Are you sure? Many have tried, but no one has managed to find this place after such a long time.”
Everyone else was feeling confident, for they had taken steps to ensure that no one could find the location.
Or else, the place would have been discovered long ago.
“No! We have to withdraw! My gut feeling is just overwhelming me. It’s better to be safe than sorry! Given the crucial stage we’re at, we can’t tolerate any mistakes at all. Or else, everything would have been for naught!”
Just as the person spoke, everyone else nodded in agreement.
Now was the time to withdraw and move someplace else.
“Inform them to retreat!”
As the group sprang into action, they informed the Bonemasters at once.
At that moment, the Bonemasters were preparing to transplant the combined elemental spiritual bone into the young man’s body.
When they received the order to withdraw, they began to store the spiritual bone and prepared to leave.
In the blink of an eye, they had packed up and left with whatever they could carry, leaving Azure Dragon and his companions behind.
When some of the figures in black robes noticed Azure Dragon and the rest during their check, one of them asked, “What about them? Shall we kill them?”
“Yes! We should do so, for they have seen us. Even though they didn’t see our faces, the Bonemasters were not wearing any disguises,” one of them suggested.
Another one sneered, “So what if they have seen the Bonemasters’ faces? It doesn’t matter at all, as everyone knows who they are since there are so few of them within Ecclesiastic Order. It’s not like it’s any secret at all. Also, they won’t recognize us because we didn’t reveal our identities. Besides, the five of them are going to die soon. There’s no need for us to kill them.”
“That’s true. We should leave them here as a warning to Levi, to remind him that he isn’t invincible at all. In fact, he is nothing to us, and we gladly await his revenge!”
“Haha, we’re very much unlike Idrae. Moreover, he doesn’t even know who we are at all.”
“What can he do after we dug out the spiritual bones of his comrades? Is he going to ignore their fate?”
“Just you wait Levi, there are many who are aiming to get their hands on you and your daughter’s spiritual bones!”
After that, the men swiftly left.
As Azure Dragon and his comrades watched on in a daze, there was nothing they could do other than wait for death’s arrival.
By then, all five had shut their eyes and were losing their consciousness slowly.
