Chapter 398 398: What Did You Find?

Gabriel didn't feel comfortable with how Lira was behaving. Not only was she not resisting but she wasn't showing any concern at all. She was just too calm.

Gabriel didn't take the risk anymore.

His spear throat forward, impaling Lira's throat.

Lira raised her head, looking straight in Gabriel's eyes. Her eyes still didn't reveal a trace of fear. It was as if she didn't even feel the pain. Instead, there was a trace of smile while Lira's body disappeared right around the dark spear.

At the same time, thousands of kilometres away, Lira dropped to the ground, breathing heavily. Her face was pale as snow and her body was weak. Her lips were bleeding as if she had been biting them to prevent her from falling unconscious.

Gabriel remained outside the tomb, staring at the spot where Lira had been sitting before. He was still unclear how she achieved her escape. From the start to the end, he never felt as if the person before him was fake or an illusion.

If it wasn't for her calmness,he wouldn't have felt anything wrong either. Amongst all the spells of Darkness that he had known, there was none like this!

Moreover, ever since Lira appeared before him, he had also kept an eye on the surroundings to make sure that Lira didn't use any of her shadows to escape. Despite all the precautions, she still somehow succeeded.

Gabriel didn't remain behind. He cast a flight spell and flew high in the sky! It was restricted to flying in the valley and not even the best of the best could achieve it. However, since the valley was related to Gabriel, he realized that it wasn't a problem for him as long as he used the Element of Necromancy.

He flew higher and higher into the sky until everyone could see it! Even the young royals were forced to look above at Gabriel who was like a deity descending! Avilia also noticed Gabriel, being surprised that he was able to fly there.

What surprised her even more was that Gabriel was out of the tomb so soon. Generally, people spent a few days inside at least.

Gabriel remained high in the sky where cold winds brushed against him, making his long hair flutter with the wind. His eyes didn't look at Avilia or the youngsters. Instead, it appeared as if he was looking at his surroundings, searching for something.

Gabriel searched the entire Valley carefully. Even for Lira, it would've been impossible to escape this valley so soon. Unfortunately, even after searching the farthest corners of the valley, he couldn't find Lira. He could only return to the cliff where Avilia was waiting for him.

"You look concerned. Did something happen?" Avilia asked, approaching Gabriel from behind while he was still lost in some thought, looking at the valley.

"I saw her," Gabriel answered.

"You saw who?"

"The Holy Priestess of Darkness, Lira. I thought I had her but she escaped!" Gabriel explained everything that happened. However, he hid the matter of what he found inside the tomb, only telling Avilia about Lira and the matters relating to her.

"So you're saying she was standing near you but you couldn't sense her." Avilia was also somewhat intrigued. There weren't many things that could hide someone from the perception of a Holy Priest, especially one like Gabriel who had such a powerful soul strength.

"If she had used a spell for it, the spell wouldn't have lasted this long. Even if there is such a spell, it must consume a lot of strength. If she was using it the entire day, she wouldn't have had the strength to escape." Even though it appeared as if Lira was talking to herself, Gabriel understood that she was talking to him.

"It's probably a treasure that she found," Gabriel agreed. And his first thought went to the cloak that she was wearing. The cloak looked as ordinary as a cloak could, but still, the more inconspicuous a thing was, the more it had the ability to surprise one.

"Do you know of a way to find her now?" he asked Avilia, still not losing the opportunity. No matter what spell Lira used, she was most probably still around somewhere.

"If we could sense her aura, it would've been easy to find her. But if she really has a treasure as you describe, it'll be quite hard. It's like finding an ordinary needle in a haystack," Avilia answered. But she still cast a spell.

A formation appeared before her, from which a shadow beast jumped out!

It was Gabriel's first time seeing a shadow beast in its complete form. The Shadow Beast was as tall as the two of them. It was like a fierce beast who had impeccable speed and stamina. However, just by looking at it, no one could have expected that it was a shadow beast since the only pitch black part of the beast were his two eyes.

As for his fur, it was a beautiful shade of white, just like his two beautiful tails.

"Even though it's not easy to find her, I can send some shadows to search around cities. However, we're looking for the Queen of shadows who should be the best at hiding. I won't expect her to be found so easily."

The Shadow Beast disappeared into the shadows. He split into thousands of shadows and easily rushed in a different direction in search for the Holy Priestess of Darkness.

Gabriel sat at the edge of the cliff in silence, looking at the sky above which had darkened. Stars were already visible in the sky. He didn't look like he was in a hurry to leave this place.

"Avilia, I want your help with something..."

"What help?" Avilia asked, wondering just what could this guy need other than her fighting strength.

"I want this entire valley to be sealed. So that no one could enter this valley and that tomb. If we can't stop people from entering, sooner or later, it'll lead to a great disaster," Gabriel answered, lying on the hard rock, having a clear view of the sky.

For him, Lira had already escaped and to find her was almost impossible for now. So the next best thing he could do was to secure this place.

"Why?" From what she had heard, there were only a few Heavenly Stones inside. Even though they were like a treasure, they weren't worth taking action personally. She didn't understand why Gabriel was so serious about this tomb. It was as if she found out something about the tomb that even she didn't know.

"What did you find inside?" she asked directly.
