William and the tower guard with fiery red hair were walking in the tunnel leading to the seal chamber.

The two of them were silent along the way. It wasn't until they approached the door of the sealing room that the tower guard said:

"Now that we've come this far, I won't ask questions like 'Do you want to think about it again' or 'Are you sure you want to do this?' But if things get completely out of control, I will try my best to allow you to run out.

."

William just replied expressionlessly:

"You actually don't have to force it."

Then he said:

"But now this situation should be completely avoidable. The reminder given by the Rose Palace was early enough."

In response, the tower guard sighed and said:

"But how he did it, I still haven't figured it out..."

The door of the sealing room opened. At this time, the room was illuminated by countless complicated seals. Seventy-seven seals were blessed on the crazy box at the end of the room.

Crazy Box looks as calm now as before, without any signs of agitation.

Except that the place where the soul fragments should have been floating was empty, everything seemed normal.

According to the description of the guard who was guarding this room before, he first witnessed the thief holding the sacred object at the door of the sealing room. When he looked back, he saw that the sacred object on the crazy box had disappeared.

Before this, he didn't even feel anyone coming into the sealing room.

If the other party hadn't accidentally exposed himself before leaving at the end, he might not have had time to sound the alarm and activate the seventy-seven backup seals.

"The thief probably exposed himself on purpose in the end."

Looking at the seals in the seal room that were constantly changing, the tower guard suddenly said.

"Why did you expose yourself deliberately? Just to provoke?"

William asked casually.

"I don't know...it may be to give us time to react, so that we can open the backup seal, and delay the time for the Demon General to break through the seal manically."

The tower guard replied thoughtfully.

"Is it going to be like this?"

William said perfunctorily.

"But to be honest, if this is the case, then his approach is too risky. When the Star Council designed this place, there was no guarantee how long the backup sealing measures would be able to last. It would be better to say that this thing was just a

Psychological comfort.”

Not noticing the other party's perfunctory attitude, the tower guard looked at the seal solemnly and said.

Not one of the seventy-seven seals has been broken so far, which can be said to be completely beyond her expectations.

After all, Manic is the number one demon general under the Crazy Fool, and his evil reputation can be said to be widely spread in certain circles.

Basically, every time it comes to the world, it will cause disasters on a huge scale, and it is a truly mythical existence.

There are only three records of its coming to this world.

The first arrival was recorded as far back as the Silver Age, and it was only vaguely mentioned that it drove everyone in a big city on the Boiling Plains crazy. In the end, three gods and heroes broke their oaths and successfully banished it.

The second time was when the End Watchers were active a thousand years ago. In the early stage of the second invasion, it disguised itself as the "Mad King" Fawkes III of the Baroque Kingdom. However, ironically, under this fake madman,

During the reign of the king, the national power of the Baroque Kingdom actually increased. Under the command of 'Manic', the Baroque Kingdom won many wars with the Kos Empire. And because of this, it was suspected by the eunuchs under his command, and he secretly found him.

He went to the Tribunal to investigate the anomalies of his own king, and finally the Tribunal exposed its identity and finally banished him back to the Moon Realm.

The third time was during the period when the Law of the Stars was promoted. The manic came to Nakuland and wanted to destroy the construction of this star lighthouse. This time it was defeated by the great sage Yeats and sealed in

The base of this lighthouse remains to this day.

"So now we..."

The tower guard stared at the crazy box and prepared to tell the Thorn City envoy next to him what to do next, but he didn't expect that the other party had ignored the seal restrictions and walked straight over.

…………

Obtaining the soul fragment of the Father of Crows is not a troublesome matter for William.

The defensive strength here may be impregnable to others, but to him it is no different than paper.

The problem is how to evacuate the people in the fortress area before breaking the seal - especially the enchanters and alchemists.

After all, "Manic" is considered to be more pompous among demon generals, and makes a lot of noise when fighting.

If he were to release him like this, after William banished him back to the Moon Realm, there wouldn't be many sane people left in the entire fortress area.

So he had to evacuate all the people here before unlocking the seal - it was best to evacuate to his own territory.

Before he came, he had already informed Nezemael and Kass that they must make good arrangements for the precious technical personnel who came over.

While thinking about it, William passed through the seventy-seven flashy seals and came to the front of the crazy box.

Because the seal of the Crazy Box has never been broken, no one knows what will happen except that Mania will be released after the seal is broken.

Will there be a big movement, or will it be a silent breakthrough? Will Manic break through the seal instantly, and will it take some time to come out?

They had no idea, after all, no one would take off the seal and do an experiment just to find out.

They may even think that those spare seals can buy them some time.

So what William had to do was very simple, just make them think that the soul fragments had been stolen.

Ignoring the voice of the woman behind him, William looked at the empty space above the crazy box and slowly stretched out his hand.

Immediately, a shadow was torn open by William, and he took out a dark illusory crow feather from under the cover of the shadow.

Crowfeather Prophet did not steal the soul fragment at all, and the seal was never unlocked. He just used shadow spells to cover up the appearance and aura of the soul fragment with the blessing of the Crown of Original Darkness.

And the soul fragment that the guardian of the sealing room saw in Crow Feather Prophet's hand was genuine, otherwise he would not have been able to deceive the master-level magic chanter.

It's just that the soul fragment in Crowfeather Prophet's hand is actually the one William took out from the Holy Sepulchre earlier.

According to William's estimation, after the other party discovered that the sacred object that sealed the Crazy Box had been stolen, the first reaction would definitely not be that the Demon General could reach out from the Crazy Box at any time, grab something around and smash it hard.

, put his head to the side to check whether the sealed sacred object was really stolen.

They will directly sound the alarm and open the backup seal as they do now, and withdraw all personnel to prepare for the attack.

This is in line with what normal people think.

Of course, if the other party really doesn't play according to the routine and insists on checking whether the soul fragment is really stolen, it will not have much impact on William in terms of the result.

At worst, if he breaks in at that time, at least it won't affect his ability to get the soul fragments back.

But to those people in the fortress area, he could only apologize deeply.

After all, he has tried his best.

Fortunately, everything went well.

As William took the soul fragment off the top of the crazy box, several cracks opened in the crazy box.

At the same time, the seventy-seven seals blessed next to the crazy box made bursts of sounds like breaking porcelain.

They were broken one after another.

"ah……"
