Chapter 1172 New Base Of Operation I
With devilish amusement dancing in her eyes, Rin snickered. "I'm well aware of the array your previous self installed between the realms of gods and mortals." She leaned in closer, her grin widening. "And I've found a way to bypass it, to let others do the dirty work of killing the seal bearers."
Her words hung heavy in the air, filled with ominous intent. "As we speak, someone is eliminating a few of those bearers," Rin revealed, her tone laced with malevolence.
Michael's composure wavered momentarily, a mix of shock and surprise evident on his face. The implications of Rin's words were far-reaching and deeply troubling.
The child's demeanor shifted as Rin's presence began to fade. Her smile vanished, replaced by a hiss of arrogance. "Never forget, I am the Princess of Murder," she declared, her voice seething with a deadly promise.
As her presence dissipated, the child's body slumped slightly, the spell lifting, and she scampered away, seemingly oblivious to the ominous exchange that had just taken place. Michael stood there, processing the dire news, aware that the stakes had just been raised significantly. "What exactly did she mean by that?"

"We need to leave Durran," Michael concluded, his mind racing with strategies and plans. "Away from Rin's grasp, where we can carefully plot our next move."
The urgency in his voice spurred Pink into action. They both understood that time was of the essence, and every moment spent under Rin's watchful eye was a moment too dangerous to risk. Wasting no time, Michael and Pink strode towards the Celestial Palace, their steps synchronized in purpose. The grandeur of the palace loomed before them, its towering spires reaching towards the heavens, a testament to the architectural marvels of the realm. The massive doors swung open, revealing the grand hall, resplendent with its high ceilings, intricate carvings, and shimmering chandeliers casting a soft glow over the polished marble floors.
Their presence attracted curious glances from the palace attendants, but they continued undeterred, their focus unwavering.
Upon reaching the hall, an elf salesgirl approached them with a polite smile. Her slender form was adorned in the traditional attire of palace staff, a blend of elegance and functionality.
"How may I assist you today?" she inquired, her voice melodic and welcoming. noVe(Lb(1n
Michael, maintaining his composure, replied, "We're looking for a travel rune to Verdant Forest."
