System vs Rebirth Chapter 634 Trace

Chapter 634 Trace

"This is where the trace ends." The knight from the Demon Beholder Squad pointed at the ground.

The Stone Lord looked at Septa and asked, "Where did the Plant Lord get stationed at first?"

Septa pointed at the tree fifty meters from them. "That tree."

The Stone Lord narrowed his eyes. Just like the Septa, he couldn't find any trace in the area. He tried to touch the ground to check the uneven terrain caused by footsteps, yet there was nothing he could find.

'This is weird…' The Stone Lord frowned, feeling something wasn't right.

Shale thought for a moment and asked, "How could this happen? There is no trace of battle. In that case, does the Plant Lord run away from the battlefield? I mean, he has said that he would leave if the battle goes awry, no?"

"That is a possibility." Clara nodded in agreement, remembering the conversation.

Still, the Stone Lord had to deny it, considering they came from the same organization. "There is no proof about it as well. So, I implore all of you to retain your remarks, or I might have to take it as an insult to our a.s.sociation."

Shale and Clara exchanged looks before shrugging. They had said all the things they wanted, so they had to wait for Septa to investigate this incident.

They all looked at Septa to see if he could find something.

Septa shook his head helplessly. "I can continue the investigation, but from what I can see right now, I can't see anything that can be used to trace the Plant Lord. It feels like he simply vanishes into thin air."

"Aren't you supposed to be the one taking care of the Plant Lord?" The Stone Lord gritted his teeth, glaring at Septa.The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to n(0))vel(b)(j)(n).

"I did. However, there was a greater threat before us… the Third Superior Demon. If you say that 'The Plant Lord couldn't do anything to protect himself against normal demons while I was forced to stop the third Superior Demon so that we could win' was a mistake, then I have to ask you whether the Plant Lord is qualified to be an elder with both wisdom and strength or not…" Septa gritted his teeth.

He was going to investigate, but the Stone Lord started attacking him. There was no proof that the Plant Lord had died or not after all. At the same time, he remembered that Noel had asked him to do something like this. In addition to the secret mission the previous captain gave him, he could see that they managed to execute the Plant Lord.

Still, he didn't know how to get away from this, considering he was tasked to protect the Plant Lord.

The previous captain told him that he didn't have to care about the rest since it would be taken care of. But with the current situation, the Demon Beholder Squad would take a ma.s.sive blow due to this.

If he could trust the previous captain's words, it seemed that he had to reveal his ability to prove his innocence.

After some consideration, he looked around and said, "In that case, I will use my ability. Other than the Stone Lord and the two Captains, I ask everyone to leave this area."

Clara and Shale widened their eyes. They looked at Septa with a frown.

"During the compet.i.tion, you never fought with your ability, so no one ever knew about your ability. Are you sure you're going to reveal the ability you've hidden so far?" Clara asked with a serious expression. The two captains aside, there was the Stone Lord from another organization. Leaking this kind of information was a serious matter.

"What choice do I have? This is the only way to prove my innocence and find the trace of the Plant Lord. If you understand that, then leave!" Septa clicked his tongue while waving his hand.

The other captains also sent their people back to make sure there was no witness. Even Noel excused himself. It wasn't that he didn't want to be there to avoid mistakes. He didn't stay because he knew that his plan had already worked.

Since there were only four people left in the area, Septa finally explained his ability. "I hope that none of you reveal it to others or I have to retaliate in the future."

He took a deep breath and continued, "I have two main abilities I usually use in tracking my target. The first ability is this…"

He clapped his hand and suddenly golden particles became visible to the naked eye. "Spiritual Energy Tracking. This ability allows me to trace the movement of Spiritual Energy. The spirit spreads Spiritual Energy in the human body. Just like regeneration, our body excretes the excessive Spiritual Energy that our body produces, leaving a trace in the air."

"By using this ability, you will be able to see the trace of Spiritual Energy for up to twelve hours." Septa pointed to the side. "As you can see, there are numerous glows around us. If you see them clearly, some of them are traces from our subordinates… and this one in the center…"

He pointed at the glow that extended fifty meters from this area. They knew clearly this was the trace the Plant Lord left behind.

And this trace ended right in the middle of them where the last trace was visible.

"And the second ability is Barrier Record." Septa formed a barrier next to him. "The barrier can record the Spiritual Energy to see what has happened in this place. So, I'm going to let this barrier absorb the remnant of Spiritual Energy so that all of us can see what has happened in this place. Are you ready?"

Septa looked at them. The two captains knew why Septa wanted to hide this power since it was extremely useful to track people, especially the Supreme Devil Organization. If the organization knew about this ability, they would use all their might to kill Septa.

On the other hand, the Stone Lord nodded in understanding.

Septa then utilized his ability and started showing them what had happened.

To their surprise, after the Plant Lord moved to the last trace, he stayed there for a few seconds before he completely disappeared as if he had just teleported.

"!!!" All the people widened their eyes as if they couldn't believe what they had just seen.

"He…disappeared?"
