Chapter 3631 An Ace Up His Sleeve
The Ecclesiastic Order were delighted ever since the news of Thundera’s upcoming return with the mighty beings of the legendary world had spread.
The usual, gloomy scene was nowhere to be found, for their days of submitting to others were finally coming to an end.
They would no longer need to live miserably as outcasts.
The Glorian Order and Levi would never again be a threat to them.
Everyone was waiting for Thundera to return.
“We’ll finally be able to restore the Ecclesiastic Order’s reputation!”
“It’s time for the Ecclesiastic Order to exact our revenge.”
“We’re going to destroy the Glorian Order and stun Levi to his core. Finally, we’re going to stand tall and proud.”
Everyone was elated.
Soon, the determination in the hearts of the Ecclesiastic Order members would form.
In the Corpse Pit, due to Thundera and the Cetus’ imminent return, Gloria sent most of the elites away.
She wanted to gather as much information as possible before deciding her next move.
Therefore, she only kept a few Fatalis Warriors around to guard the base.
Of course, those men were mostly there to watch over Eusof, the Top Ten of the Ecclesiastic Order, and Sonja’s company.
In the secret room, Eusof, who was tormented to the brink of death, abruptly opened his eyes.
His usually cloudy eyes were exceptionally bright at that moment.
In fact, there was a blood-curdling glint in them.
If one were to observe him carefully, one would notice a dull layer of energy enveloping him.
That energy was rapidly healing his wounds.
Initially, Eusof resembled a bag of bones. After some time, his skin gradually began to turn smooth.
Like a molting snake, his previously marred skin peeled away and slowly drifted to the ground after being blown by a gentle breeze of energy.
“Hah!”
Eusof let out a sigh.
His mental state had been refreshed.
Even his aura was much stronger than before.
“Hm?” came a confused hum from a dark corner.
Although the Top Ten had their spiritual bones extracted from them, and their power had been absorbed, they were still the best of the best.
Hence, they were sensitive to the change in the aura.
Moreover, Eusof had been on the verge of dying, yet his aura seemed exponentially stronger at the moment.
How could that have happened so suddenly?
“Hush!”
Eusof gestured for them to keep quiet.
Despite the dim lighting of the secret room, the others were used to the darkness, so they saw his gesture and quickly held their breaths as they waited for his next instruction.
Crack!
By exerting just a little force, Eusof managed to break free of the steel shackles binding his hands and legs.
The Top Ten and Sonja’s company were astounded.
They all knew that Gloria had hired men to specially make those shackles in fear of them escaping.
As a matter of fact, they would still face difficulty breaking those shackles even if their powers were at their peak.
Yet, Eusof had done it so easily.
“Has his power come back?”
“How can that be?”
“I remember that Master Eusof’s power has been completely devoured as well.”
Everybody was confounded.
Nevertheless, the fact that Eusof had recovered his power was good news to them.
“No need for more questions. I’ll be saving you all,” Eusof whispered to them.
Alas, even Gloria had underestimated Eusof.
He was a genius in medicine. He had hidden a few life-saving pills with him.
Even the men whom Gloria had instructed to check her captives thoroughly failed to discover the pills.
Hence, Eusof waited until the time was right before taking the pill and regaining his power.
“Thank you, Master Eusof!”
The Top Ten were so moved that tears welled up in their eyes.
Initially, they had been in despair.
After all, the security was tight, and they had lost all of their power. Escape seemed to be a dream.
Yet, the candle of hope had been lit anew.
It was nothing short of a miracle.
