Sancho sighed sorrowfully. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Livie standing beside James, and his brows subconsciously furrowed.
Zeno noticed something off with his expression and asked, “What’s wrong? Have you seen her before? Do you know her?”
“I know her very well.” Sancho’s face was full of anger, and his voice became hostile.
“She’s one of the Three Extraterrestrial Demon Commanders who took many lives. Wynne gave it his all and sacrificed his life to injure her.”
Livie inched over to James, tugged on his robe, and whispered, “I’m scared. I can sense his murderous intent. I don’t want to stay here anymore. Let’s quickly leave this place.”
James gently waved his hand, signaling Livie not to worry.
Zeno looked at Livie. He never expected her to be a leader of the Extraterrestrial Demons in her past life, nor did he know that Wynne sacrificed himself just to injure her.
Sancho continued, saying, “After she was injured, Emperor Raiah captured her. However, her wounds were severe, and she died shortly after. Although she had passed, her physical body was potent. Even Emperor Raiah wasn’t capable of destroying her corpse. Back then, he was focused on completely wiping out the Extraterrestrial Demons and didn’t have time to dispose of her body. Thus, his subordinates sealed her away in case she were to awaken again.”
“Where did Emperor Raiah go?” asked Zeno.
Sancho explained, “The Extraterrestrial Demon’s Great Commander fled after he was injured. Their troops also withdrew from the battle. Emperor Raiah chased after him but never returned. I’ve no idea what happened next.”
While speaking, Sancho began to fade, and his voice became faint.
Soon, his faint image disappeared, and the skeleton crumbled into dust.
James looked at Zeno and said, “I didn’t expect you to be a Rune Arts Grandmaster and a subordinate of Emperor Raiah.”
Suddenly, Sancho’s voice rang in the hall once again. “A portion of your soul was extracted, Zeno. If I’m not wrong, it was taken by the Extraterrestrial Demon’s Great Commander. You’ll have to retrieve your soul to recover your strength to its prime.”
