Seeing the black-robed old man acting all crazy, Velen was momentarily stunned, then recalled the system prompt he had received when venturing deeper into this place.
Could that have been the so-called seal?
As this thought flashed through his mind, the black-robed old man, who had rushed toward the passage at extreme speed, suddenly seemed to suffer a heavy blow. His entire body was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground before Velen, blood trickling from his nose and mouth, looking utterly wretched.
"Brat, that seal hasn't failed at all! You tricked an old man who's been around for centuries! Have you no decency?!"
The black-robed old man rolled on the ground before getting up, glaring at Velen in rage.
Had he not reacted in time with his defenses just now, that soul impact would have been enough to wipe him out completely!
Velen speechlessly stared at the old man.
He had never said the seal was broken—this old guy had just celebrated too soon.
