Game Transmigration: Saving the World Again 1000 Years Later



49 Loyalty

William’s words made Vincent widen his eyes abruptly.

He looked at the man in front of him with a ferocious expression. His hands reached into a spatial rift and pulled out an ebony magical medium. Instantly, the medium lit up with dazzling lightning.

“What did you do to my daughter?!”

At this moment, Vincent, who was in the Astral Lighthouse’s Astral Observatory and had received preliminary authorization from the tower guardian, could mobilize magic power at the Legendary level.

His mind had long exceeded the Master level and was even stronger than many magic chanters who had just reached Legendary. With the augmentation of the Astral Lighthouse, Vincent could be considered a middle-level existence even among Legendary magic chanters.

As Vincent brandished his magical medium, purplish-black dragon-shaped lightning gradually circled in the air and took shape. Crackling air explosions constantly exploded beside the lightning dragon, and the various decorations in the Astral Observatory were also sent floating in the air by the violent spatial fluctuations caused by the lightning.

William frowned and looked at the powerful lightning in front of him. He tapped the magical medium in his hand and said, “Calm down.”

As he had cast Cold Bloodline buff on himself, William used a Frost-type control spell while the buff was still active.

Mute Impact

A dense, cone-shaped Frost aura blew out of the magical medium and deluged the nearby Vincent.

Vincent’s waving of the magical medium instantly froze. When the Frost aura dissipated, every joint on his body was covered in thick frost, and his feet were firmly rooted to the ground by the frost.

He was like a puppet whose joints had been welded shut.

William walked to his side, raised the magical medium in his hand, and knocked on the head of the lightning dragon that was about to take shape. A dazzling light exploded, and the lightning dragon turned into countless specks of light and dissipated.

“Have you calmed down?” William looked at Vincent, who was about to turn into an ice sculpture, and asked.

However, from the other party’s constant struggle and the murderous expression on his face, it didn’t seem to be the case.

“Why don’t you listen to what others have to say…”

William grumbled and continued, “I’m only saying that she might be dead, but I can’t be sure of the current situation. But I might be the only person who knows her whereabouts. Are you sure you still want to attack me?”

Vincent stopped struggling. He looked at William with bloodshot eyes and shouted, “Tell me, what’s wrong with her now?!”

He seemed to lose his comprehension of human language when it came to matters related to his daughter.

William sighed silently. Poor parents. There was no need for him to pick a quarrel with a father. Therefore, he said, “I already said that I don’t know… However, I still know where she might be now. Furthermore, I can bring you there. However, the prerequisite is that you have to calm down. Otherwise, the probability of Liliana surviving will decrease if you delay for another second. Think about it.”

William waited for five seconds and saw the other party’s expression gradually soften in intensity. Finally, rationality appeared in his eyes again. He raised his staff and said, “I’ll remove your shackles next, but if you attack me again, I won’t show mercy.”

As he spoke, he removed Mute Impact. The condensed frost instantly turned into magic power and disappeared. Vincent knelt on the ground due to his frosted joints. However, he immediately struggled to stand up on all fours.

“Where is she now? Bring me to her quickly!” Vincent staggered to his feet and immediately said to William.

“Shut up…”

William recalled the location where the Phoenix pendant’s Mark disappeared in his ether domain and said impatiently.

About ten seconds later, he said to Vincent, “I roughly know where she is. Wait a moment.”

As he spoke, he took out six azure gems from his pocket and threw them into the air. Blinking lightning connected them to form a portal.

Flowing light fluctuated over the portal, gradually revealing a simple guest room. Liliana was lying motionless on a wooden bed.

Before William could say anything, Vincent passed through the portal and rushed over.

How is he not worried that there’s danger?

William thought.

Because portals were extremely vulnerable to interference, most mages would often be extremely cautious when using a portal, especially one opened by others.

There were countless instances of being killed by an explosion while passing through a portal.

William didn’t say anything and followed behind him.

On the other end of the portal, Vincent half-knelt in front of the wooden bed and carried Liliana while trembling. At this moment, Liliana’s eyes were tightly closed, and her expression was constantly twisting.

Upon hearing William walk over, Vincent turned his head and asked him, “What happened to her?”

“She’s having a nightmare,” William answered matter-of-factly.

“She doesn’t wake up no matter how I call out to her.”

“That’s a very nasty nightmare,” William replied.

“It might be a high-level illusion, or it might be a curse. Of course, it’s also possible…”

As William spoke, he walked to the bed and pressed his hand on the girl’s forehead.

“What else is possible?” Vincent asked anxiously.

“It’s also possible that her soul was pulled to the Moon Realm by a goddess you plan to believe in.”

Withdrawing his hand, William said to Vincent with a cold expression, “I’m sorry to tell you that it’s the worst possibility.”

“Lord of Nightmare, Zamara? Liliana’s soul was pulled to the Nightmare Swamp?” Vincent asked with a pale face.

William nodded.

“How… How did this happen…” Vincent muttered to himself in a daze.

However, William said coldly, “First, her archeological team was attacked by the Lady of Starvation’s Stumbling Demon, and now, her soul has been pulled into the Moon Realm of the Lord of Nightmare. Do you have to wait until she’s schemed against by the Whispering Empress again before you can guess why?”

Vincent looked at William and said with a blank expression, “But that’s impossible. I’ve never betrayed him. He also knows…”

His voice became softer and softer as he spoke. Then, he hugged Liliana tightly and gradually fell silent.

William stood at the side and waited patiently.

After a while, Vincent turned his head expressionlessly and said to him, “Can my daughter be saved?”

William nodded.

“Save her,” Vincent said.

William didn’t agree immediately. Instead, he waited for him to continue.

Vincent hugged Liliana and continued, “I swear to all the gods in the world that as long as you save my daughter, I shall pledge my loyalty to you. From now on, every wisp of my soul, every drop of blood, every bone, every piece of flesh, and every thought will fight for you until death.”

With that said, he gently put Liliana down and walked in front of William, preparing to kneel with a solemn expression.

However, an invisible force held him up and stopped him.

Vincent looked at the weather-beaten man in front of him in confusion. At this moment, he was pointing at the magical medium at his knees.

“What oath to all the gods in the world… Didn’t I tell you? My goal is to eternally liberate the fate of humanity from the gods.”

As he spoke, William smiled faintly.

“Moreover, remember one thing… You’re not allowed to kneel!”
