Chapter 571: Chapter 571. Meeting the castle Lord( Chapter dedicated to Philip Miller 0573 for the sixteen golden tickets streak)

Kailen observed with a very calm expression as he cultivated. Every minute facial expression of the castle Lord was noted, and every emotion and thought it conveyed was being noted.

This practice went on for a week. He didn’t notice anything worth using to manipulate the castle Lord during this period.

A number of prisoners had been "sucked dry" by the castle Lord.

Time was not on his side. Kailen was starting to feel nervous. If the plan was not put in motion before he was sent to the castle lord, he would be finished.

Was his plan going to fail?

Kailen analyzed the situation to see if there was any alternative he could make use of. But no matter the angle he analysed the situation from, this plan was the only one that could get him out of this dreadful situation he was in.

Kailen steeled himself.

Everyone had a psychological weakness. Something that could be used to manipulate them if they were not conscious of it and did not turn it into a strength.

He just had to be patient and hope that he would not be taken to the castle Lord before he figured out the weakness of the castle Lord.

Kailen kept observing and cultivating. His cultivation did not yield any fruitful results though. But it was better than nothing.

Prisoners were taken to the castle Lord on several occasions. He absorbed their life force, turning them into dead, husky corpses.

This cycle went on for a month.

Kailen was fortunate that these prisoners were not extremely strong enough and their life force was not potent enough to increase the strength of the castle Lord. Else, the castle Lord would be too strong for Kailen to deal with by the time Kailen was ready to kill him.

Finally, Kailen squinted his brows.

The castle Lord was currently seated in the hall where he fed on his prey alone.

His gaze lingered on a painting of a beautiful lady on the wall.

With emotional resonance, Kailen paid close attention to every miniscule emotional expression of the castle lord, and how they projected his thoughts.

" He loves her? Who is this woman?"

Kailen thought.

He paid attention.

" Oh, so that’s how it is," Kailen thought. A glint of realization flashed through his mind.

Quietly, Kailen kept on studying the man. However, after picking up a key information about the vimodial and the painting on the wall he could use as a strong weakness to exploit the man, Kailen cultivated, observed him and waited.

Day after day, the cycle of prisoners disappearing from the hall continued.

Kailen kept on observing the man. It was the same piece of information he obtained from time to time. The information about the castle Lord and the woman with the picture on the wall.

Kailen was more certain now and confident that he could use this to his advantage.

Very soon, it was Kailen’s turn to be taken to the castle Lord.

The gnome with a crooked appearance came again.

Kailen opted to stand up and follow her the moment her gaze landed on him. Her gaze told him everything. He was next.

He didn’t want to be dragged towards the castle Lord bound in some dark tendrils.

As Kailen and the gnome left the hall, the prisoners whispered. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

" That guy has seriously given up on life."

" Yeah, he didn’t even look scared. It’s like he has accepted his fate."

" Well, will panicking and trying to resist or scream in fear change anything?"

" Sigh.. I suppose that’s the case. He came to terms with it a long time ago. It’s not like he can do anything about his situation. We are all gonna die anyway."

***

Kailen and the gnome walked quietly through the castle. They were currently in a corridor that led to the feeding hall of the castle Lord.

Very soon, they arrived at the feeding hall.

The hall was very clean.

Somewhere on the wall, there was a shelf.

"My Lord, your meal." The gnome gestured respectfully.

" Good. You may leave."

The gnome quickly nodded and disappeared.

"Look at the wall."

An extremely overbearing pressure descended on Kailen. Kailen was not surprised. He had been observing this bastard after all.

Before the vimodial enjoyed his prey’s life force, he always did this.

It was intentional. The vimodial did this to all the others before he fed on them. He crushed them psychologically, made them realize how much of ants they were, before he absorbed their life force.

Kailen would not be psychologically broken. He had played this game on enemies long enough. However, that did not change the fact that the pressure was overbearing, and he could not handle the weight of it. He fell on his knees.

He didn’t dare to act tough, else he’d die before he knew it.

Even if he wanted to, could he?

Kailen looked on the wall as he was commanded.

The skulls of all those the vimodial had absorbed their life force.

He kept them like a trophy.

" Very soon, you’ll be there too. Is that not wonderful?" The vimodial spoke with glee on his face.

The vimodial enjoyed the look of helplessness on the face of his prey, crawling on the floor.

He was broken...

"Ah~ finally a meal that’s sumptuous."

He voiced elatedly, arms stretched wide apart.

" This is when he attacks right? I should initiate the plan now," Kailen thought, mind calm. He could not afford to mess this up. A single mistake and he’d die here.

"She didn’t die."

The moment Kailen’s words landed, the vimodial narrowed his eyes.

"What did you just say?"

The pressure on Kailen completely disappeared.

Now, Kailen’s neck was on the hall. A hand clutched his neck with an extremely ruthless grip.

It was very suffocating.

Kailen choked.

But he would not give up. Not when he had come so far.

This vimodial could choke him all he wanted now.

But this was progress. At least, he was not dead.

Kailen attempted to speak, voice breaking in between as a result of the grip on his neck.

" Sh-e did n-ot d-ie."

The eyes of the vimodial narrowed.

He had not heard wrongly.

How did this human prey know about her?

How was this possible?

This was a secret no one knew anything about.

So how did this human bastard know about her?

Also, what was he saying about her being alive?
