Chapter 565 - 223: The True World That Truly Exists

’Her?’

’Is he talking about Clelia’s identity?’

’Obviously, the black-robed Grave Digger isn’t talking about her identity as ’Thousand Faces’ of the Eternal Life Association.’

’Thinking back to when that Female Tyrannosaurus Captain from the *Golden Dis* attacked with her Secret Cultivators, Clelia had been so evasive... So, is he referring to what she remembered back then?’

A flicker crossed Wei’en’s crimson eyes. He had to know!

"I am both surprised and pleased to encounter her here—" The Grave Digger spread his arms, the gesture pulling his black robes taut and making his face look like a silhouette protruding from a curtain. "Although the True Forerunner ordered us not to appear before her, she is a far cry from her former glory..."

"This encounter will be her end!"

’Her end?’

’So what? What the hell *is* her identity?!’

"O, great True Master, I..."

"She’s already hiding. You want to end her," Wei’en had no choice but to cut him off, pointing to himself. "You’ll have to get through me first!"

The Grave Digger looked at him, his gaze unwavering and his tone cold. "I have also recalled your identity."

Wei’en raised an eyebrow. "Me? What identity?"

’Besides Ghost Intelligence Officer, Secret Investigation Officer, Mutated Mage, Red-haired Captain, Director of the Research Institute, Shadow Intelligence Group Leader, and Faceless Great Wizard, what other identities could I possibly have?’

"The maggot who disrupted the birth of the great True Master’s servant."

’Maggot??’

’Damn it!’

Wei’en’s expression darkened. He shouldn’t have taken the words of a deranged lunatic so seriously. "If you’re referring to that Alchemy Array on Dakman Island, then yes, that was me."

"Maggot, for daring to disrupt the blessing of the great True Master, your only fate is death!"

Wei’en’s brows shot up. This was the first time he’d met such a chatty Extraordinary. Even the Secret Cultivators he’d slaughtered before weren’t this long-winded.

’I can now confirm that the black-robed Grave Digger is from the Dusk Sect, and just like the Secret Cultivators I’ve met before—brainless!’

"After I kill you, I’ll send the Puppet Queen right after you!"

’Puppet Queen?’

’Clelia?’

’So Clelia had a title like that?’

’It does fit the Extraordinary Abilities she uses. Because of her puppetry... oh, puppet techniques?’

’As long as I know the name "Puppet Queen," I’m confident that with the capabilities of the Wizard Schools’ various Intelligence Departments, I’ll uncover Clelia’s past sooner or later.’

"Finally, you said it," Wei’en said with a smirk. "I wonder what Clelia did to your Dusk Sect to make you hold a grudge for so long?"

The black-robed Grave Digger’s body stiffened, as if he had some strange reaction to that name. "Maggot! This is not for you to know! Your best fate is to sink into oblivion along with this illusory world!"

"Come and try me. I don’t mind sending you to reunite with those Secret Cultivators—hmm, a reunion at your True Master’s place!"

"Hmm? You dare blaspheme the great Truth?"

The Grave Digger’s pitch-black, unblemished eyes stared fixedly at him. His hands were still spread open, and under his black robes, several square outlines quietly bulged out at his sides. As they trembled, they made muffled THUDDING sounds, like stone slabs knocking together. His voice was frigid, "You have angered me!"

[You have been locked on by the killing intent of Grave Digger Agostinho Harvey. Evaluation: Merely a crawler... but quite a bit stronger than a weakling like you. Good luck. Reward: Survival Points +150.]

’The Survival Points for a killing intent lock-on increased?’

’Is this Grave Digger stronger than the Great Demon Commander?’

As Wei’en’s spiritual senses spread out, he confirmed that Clelia and the others had already hidden in the ship’s hold and activated the Rune Array prepared on the *Leonard*. He relaxed a little.

’I can’t fight the Grave Digger on this ship. The aftershocks alone would tear it apart.’

However, he wasn’t too worried.

’During my duel with the Great Demon Commander, I handicapped myself. I didn’t use any forbidden items, nor did I have help from Tina and the others.’

’This time, though, there are no such restrictions...’

’Hmm, if I still can’t take him down even with all that, I’ll just have to escape...’

Immediately after, he opened his panel and glanced at his current basic attributes.

Following that, Wei’en’s thoughts were transmitted through his Origin to four sub-bodies.

Simultaneously, the Spiritual Conversion talent activated. His Toughness Level and Origin Power were converted into Spirit Level, reaching a grand total of forty thousand!

The Secret Master emerged at the opportune moment. "Nico, Ruke."

Two consecutive Blink Spells.

Wei’en’s figure first appeared above the black carriage. After leaving behind eight phantom clones, he vanished again. When he reappeared, he was already in the heart of the Storm behind the carriage.

Although the environment here was harsher, it wasn’t enough to pose a threat to his current body.

"Mens, Dis." The phantom clones stared at the black carriage, a flicker glinting in the depths of their eyes, and then cast a Charm Spell.
