"Vincenzo!"
The name was unfamiliar to Fade. He couldn't recall anything related to "Vincenzo" from his memories.
Therefore, Fade asked cautiously, "Mr. Vincenzo, are you alive?"
"Alive? Dead?" The right arm seemed to be pondering on the question as his mutterings could be heard from the divine soul.
His mutterings grew quicker and quicker, eventually, Fade wasn't able to catch what he was saying anymore. The only thing he could hear was unclear cacophonies.
Upon seeing this, Fade feared that if Vincenzo lost his temper, Fade would become the victim of the arm's violent emotions and get swallowed.
After all, he had personally witnessed the right arm devour four of the Fetus Refine Realm's venerable masters earlier.
An amateur from the Soul Refine Realm like himself was no match for Vincenzo.
Therefore, Fade blurted out, "Mr. Vincenzo, do you want to get out of here?"
"Get out of here!"
The four words seemed to pull Vincenzo back to his senses. He slowly recovered from his disordering murmurings.
"Yes, get out of here, I want to get out of here. I've been locked up for so long. I want to get out of here, and find my body."
Then, Vincenzo asked Fade, "Kid, can you get me out?"
"Well -" Fade was struck dumb by the question, "Mr. Vincenzo, can't you leave yourself?"
Above all, although Vincenzo was merely an arm, in Fade's opinion, he was still a very strong master. He should be able to leave as he wishes.
However, Vincenzo simply sighed, "I'm just a broken limb, I can't leave on my own. Besides, this mausoleum restricts my powers." "Actually, most of the restrictions have been destroyed. I could easily break through them and force my way out."
"Then why not?" Fade inquired.
The question seemed to remind Vincenzo of something. He spoke with a more serious and alerted voice, "If I break through the restriction in such a violent manner, I will only alarm my captors."
"When they sense the instability I've caused in this mausoleum, they'll surely come after me."
"Ah, who are they? Who built this mausoleum to seal you in?” Fade couldn't help but exclaim.
Vincenzo was just a petty right arm, yet he was already so powerful. One can only imagine how strong his captors were.
For a moment, Fade felt asthmatic.
A thought seemed to cross Vincenzo's mind as Fade felt a wave of pain hit him, "I, I can't remember who they were. But I know they were strong and they were my enemies. They dismembered and sealed me here."
"Dismembered, sealed!"
A chill ran down Fade’s spine as his heart skipped a beat.
Then, he asked, "Mr. Vincenzo, if I take you out, won't it alarm your enemies as well?"
Vincenzo explained, "No. Perhaps it was due to the passage of time, or maybe it's because no one takes care of the mausoleum anymore, the restrictions have weakened. I can see many faults and flaws in it."
"You're here right before me now because of those faults and flaws."
"Furthermore, you guys are so weak you're can't even trigger the mausoleum's true sealing formation. Otherwise, it would've been impossible for you to even enter the mausoleum."
Fade nodded and continued asking, "Mr. Vincenzo, how can I be of service?"
"It's simple, actually," Vincenzo answered, "Just let me into your body."
"You possess the Skyscraper Divine Wood. It can block the mausoleum's detection. The sealing formation won't be triggered, so I'll be able to escape."
"You want to enter my body. But, how?" Fade questioned.
"It's quite straightforward," Vincenzo replied once more, "Open your mouth and swallow me into your belly."
"Ah, swallow you, this, this..." Fade stared at the right arm in horror. The idea of swallowing such a thick and horrible arm gave him the goosebumps.
Vincenzo seemed like a rational man. His words had been quite reasonable and believable.
However, no one could guarantee the truthiness of his words.
Nonetheless, after pondering on the thought for a while, Fade heaved a sigh of relief.
Vincenzo's strength was far beyond Fade's imagination.
If Vincenzo had the intention to kill him, he would've done it at the speed of light. There was no need for Vincenzo to coax him.
Besides, if Fade didn't agree, he would have to face all those venerable masters outside himself. He knew that going down that path would only result in his death.
With that thought in mind, Fade replied, "Alright. Come in, Mr. Vincenzo!"
Yet, Vincenzo wasn't in a hurry at all. He flew around Fade and closely inspected him.
After a close examination, he finally spoke, "Your body is too weak. If I enter right now, you might not be able to bear it. I'm afraid you may even explode and die."
"Ah, then, what should I do?" Fade inquired.
"A piece of cake," Vincenzo answered, "If your body is weak, just strengthen it."
Fade continued inquiring, "How? How can I strengthen my body?"
