Mage Manual-Chapter 619 - 498: Caught in the Rain_2

Yes, since the Divine Being favored him because he possessed a Secret Avatar, couldn’t he just destroy it?

Although the Secret Avatar was precious, it was nothing compared to his own life. Moreover, Ash had already smuggled himself into the Distant Realm, greatly diminishing the importance of the Secret Avatar and the Soul Summoning Technique Spirit. Losing them wouldn’t affect Ash at all!

Once the Secret Avatar was gone, Ash’s exquisite little western-style house would turn into a doghouse-level unfinished building, as he didn’t align with "the most pure, naive, kind, and beautiful girl" in any criteria. No matter how the Divine Being evaluated it, it wouldn’t demean itself by dwelling in Ash’s doghouse but rather, it would settle for the Princess’s cottage, and then Ash would naturally be saved!

Regarding the consequences of destroying the concept, Ash couldn’t care less by then, since he himself didn’t have any Technique Spirit relating to "secrets." However, this would completely ruin Hanna’s plans, and even if it meant being punished by Hanna upon returning, he accepted it, although it was a pity about the Divine Lord’s wishes...

Ash waited with anticipation for a moment, and discovered that the Soul Summoning Technique Spirit was still swimming comfortably in his soul.

He found that whenever his Magic Power tried to harm the Soul Summoning Technique Spirit, it would suddenly stop working, it was just as if...

It was bound by a Contract.

Impossible!

Ash’s pupils dilated, although the Empress’s contract indeed prevented him from destroying the Soul Summoning Technique Spirit on his own. But now he had already entered the third layer of the Void Realm, satisfying the automatically terminating condition of the contract. How could the contract still be effective?!

But there was no other explanation for the current situation, could it be that the Empress had laid a trap in the contract that he was completely unaware of?

A thought flashed, and the original text of the contract appeared clearly in Ash’s mind, and he immediately pinpointed the problem—it was in the very first sentence of the contract.

"When the Heavenly Carriage Bull enters the Spider Tower area, Party B must stay in the Spider Tower area for more than three hours."

The phrase "When the Heavenly Carriage Bull enters the Spider Tower area" was the highest priority condition in the entire contract. All other clauses of the contract could only be executed after this condition was met.

That is, although Ash had already entered the Distant Realm, the contract was still in effect. They would have to wait for the Heavenly Carriage Bull to enter the Spider Tower area for the contract to automatically terminate.

So when would the Heavenly Carriage Bull enter the Spider Tower area?

Other mages might not know, but Ash had a map of the Void Realm to compare, thus he could clearly calculate that the next time the Heavenly Carriage Bull would enter the Spider Tower area was... tomorrow morning.

Dada dada—

The rain outside intensified, and Ash’s heart grew colder and colder.

Compared to a straightforward ’death sentence,’ the jest of being ’just a little bit short of surviving’ plunged him deeper into the abyss.

That was the Divine Lord showing off, that was Fate laughing.

Right, he had stolen the Secret Avatar from Spider Tower while being in the Kingdom of Gospel, how could he possibly escape unscathed? In the Void Realm, he was hunted by Spider Tower, and in reality, he was calculated by the Gospel. Either way, the Secret Avatar would serve the All-Knowing Weaver, just for different purposes.

Even the towering All-Knowing Weaver might not have been watching him; it could be just the Gospel cooperating with the Spider Tower that precisely and cruelly snuffed out all his hopes. He was like an insect stuck in a spider web, with no hope of escape.

The iceberg was still melting, and his soul felt like it was dying. At this moment, a warm and adorable little creature nestled in his arms, reaching up to pinch his face.

"Ash, let’s escape quickly." ’Liss’ looked at him earnestly and said, "Leaving Nabistin, even leaving the Gospel, as long as we flee far enough, you won’t be captured and turned into the Witch Yayin."

Escape.

This option had never appeared in Ash’s thoughts from the beginning, after all, this was Nabistin’s Imperial Palace, and the Divine Being had directly invaded his mind to torment him. Where could he possibly flee? It was nothing more than a futile and ugly death struggle.

But... Ash looked at the earnest ’Liss,’ smiled, and nodded, "Alright, we’ll escape, and I certainly won’t become the First Gospel!"

Ash didn’t take the stairs; he simply jumped out the window and used the "Miracle" to teleport to the outskirts of Yalan Lake. Then he took out the ’Banjee Space Card’ and drew out a motorcycle—his assassination plan of the Princess naturally included escape procedures. Everyone’s space cards had a motorcycle, so that they could ride out of the Imperial Palace, or even out of Nabistin, as fast as possible if the plan succeeded or failed.

Roar! The mechanical monster roared with flames, and Ash looked at the densely rainy world in front of him, feeling as if he had returned to the Time Continent, the noise in his mind also seemed less harsh.

He took out his dark red raincoat from the card and draped it over ’Liss,’ who was almost soaked like a drenched dog. ’Liss’ sat behind him, her little hands tightly around his waist, "I’m not cold, you wear it."

"The rain is too heavy," Ash chuckled, "Wearing it wouldn’t make a difference for me."

Buzz! The motorcycle accelerated in a second, racing at high speed on the stone slab road of the Imperial Palace, effortlessly escaping straight out of the multiple gates of the palace!

Suddenly, the Gospel Book appeared in front of them again, the purple glowing bookmark dazzlingly bright in the rain curtain. Because Ash had already become one-third Yayin, by the time it updated, Ash already knew its updated content.
