Chapter 211: No One Is Worthy of Trust



Entering a state of frenzy, the werewolf leader chose to confront Elder Lawrence head-on. At the same time, he shouted to Irving, "You must help me now! I can\'t defeat Lawrence in his frenzied state on my own!"

Irving did not immediately agree to the werewolf leader\'s plea for help. After what had just transpired, his trust in the werewolf leader had greatly diminished.

So, Irving quickly found an excuse: "My companions are in terrible condition right now. I need to ensure their safety first. You\'ll have to hold him off by yourself for a while."

After saying this, Irving swiftly made his way toward his companions.

When he reached Benjamin, Aron, and the others, he discovered that they had only temporarily lost consciousness. The power of Elder Lawrence\'s earlier roar was not as overwhelming as it seemed.

"It looks like you\'re all going to be fine, so I don\'t need to stay here with you," he remarked.

With that, Irving turned and headed toward the two elders from the Night Blades.

Irving believed that the two elders from the Night Blades should have more information and, given the current circumstances, they would be willing to cooperate with him.

After about fifteen minutes of searching, he finally found Elder Howard and Elder Kent in a place piled high with bones.

The condition of the two Night Blades elders was dire. Half of Elder Howard\'s face had been torn away, and the remaining half was covered in wounds. Elder Kent had lost both of his arms, and his legs were broken.

When the two elders saw Irving, their expressions suddenly turned to panic.

"You don\'t need to worry too much. I\'m not here to eliminate you. I believe there is room for cooperation between us," Irving said in a gentle tone.

Of course, Elder Howard and Elder Kent did not believe Irving\'s words. However, they had no other options left; they could no longer afford to be enemies with him.

"Cooperation? What kind of cooperation do you have in mind? We can\'t even fight anymore," Elder Howard said in a voice filled with pain.

Elder Howard\'s injuries were clearly more severe than Elder Kent\'s, and speaking was a struggle for him.

"You should understand very well that I am your enemy. If given the chance, I would certainly eliminate all members of the Night Blades."

Irving did not say anything to reassure the two Night Blades elders.

Irving felt that saying those things now would only make the two Night Blades elders even less willing to cooperate with him.

"However, the situation is a bit more complicated now. We are currently in an underground tomb. I believe you should know that this tomb belongs to the Werewolf Clan.

Fighting in an underground tomb means that the members of the Werewolf Clan will be significantly stronger. Therefore, I believe the werewolf leader is more powerful than all of us combined.

The werewolf leader and Elder Lawrence are competing for the right to continue the ritual. Whichever one of them ultimately prevails will possess power beyond our imagination. So, we must work together to eliminate both of them."

Irving\'s line of thought was actually very clear. Since they were fighting in a tomb that belonged to the Werewolf Clan, the greatest enemies would naturally be the members of the Werewolf Clan.

The werewolf leader was a member of the Werewolf Clan, and while Elder Lawrence was not, after using the Blood of the Abyss, he had, in a sense, also become a werewolf.

Irving wanted to say all of this to convince the two elders that he was being sincere.

Elder Kent then spoke in a cold tone. "I indeed want to eliminate those two damned individuals as well. But you still haven\'t explained why we should trust you! Just as you said before, once you find the opportunity, you will wipe out all the members of the Night Blades. By cooperating with you now, aren\'t we digging our own graves?"

Irving nodded.

"You are indeed digging your own graves by cooperating with me. But this is something you must do, as you have no other options left.

You should be able to feel your life force draining away rapidly. The underground tomb itself devours the life force of any living beings within it.

Your only hope is to cooperate with me, and then, when we leave the tomb, use the array belonging to the Night Blades in Shadow City to create an opportunity for escape."

Irving laid out the most reasonable choice for the two Night Blades elders. Hearing this, their expressions turned very dejected, as they truly had no better options. Even though they knew that Irving would eventually eliminate them, they could only temporarily cooperate with him.

"We can work with you. What do you want from us? We cannot provide you with any help in battle," Elder Howard finally made a decision and directly asked Irving about the terms of cooperation.

Irving smiled and replied, "I certainly don\'t expect you to assist me during the battle. I just hope to obtain more information about Lawrence from you. Only then can I find his weaknesses. Eliminating Lawrence should also be your task, right? So you don\'t need to help him conceal his weaknesses."

After saying this, Irving waited for the two Night Blades elders to respond.

Elder Howard and Elder Kent exchanged glances with each other.

Ultimately, it was Elder Kent who spoke up about Lawrence\'s weaknesses. "Although Lawrence was previously an elder of the Night Blades, he chose to betray us as soon as we arrived in Shadow City.

Our understanding of him is quite limited; all we know is that he has harnessed the power of the Blood of the Abyss. The true nature of that power is known only to the core leaders of the Night Blades.

However, you might be able to ambush Lawrence during his fight with the werewolf leader. That could lead to his ultimate demise."

In reality, Elder Kent did not provide any useful information. Irving could tell that the other party was merely going through the motions.

Yet, Irving did not intend to call him out on it. "Your suggestion is indeed a good one. I will ambush Lawrence. While I carry out my plan, I hope you both will stay here. If you recklessly move to another location, you could very well encounter a deadly threat."

After saying this, Irving quickly left.

The two Night Blades elders watched him depart. Once Irving had completely vanished, Elder Kent hurriedly turned to Elder Howard and said, "We need to get out of here as soon as possible!"

Elder Kent\'s statement surprised Elder Howard. "Both of us are severely injured. If we act rashly, we will surely face unforeseen dangers. It\'s better for us to wait here until the battle is over."

Elder Howard believed that although Irving would not spare them, he would at least ensure their escape from the underground tomb.

As long as they could escape the underground tomb, the two elders would be able to utilize the arrays laid out by the Night Blades in Shadow City to successfully flee.

Before entering the tomb, the two Night Blades elders had set up numerous arrays throughout Shadow City. If they could return, these arrays would activate automatically.

With the help of the arrays, even the heavily wounded Night Blades elders would be able to contend with Irving.

Elder Kent scoffed at Howard\'s words. With an anxious tone, he said, "This plan is definitely not going to succeed. Irving will undoubtedly be on high alert. Our only chance to escape is during their battle. Although we are severely injured, if we act immediately, we still have a chance to get away."

Elder Kent was unwilling to wait around to die. He believed that some proactive measures had to be taken. After Kent\'s persuasion, Elder Howard eventually agreed to Kent\'s plan.

The two wounded Night Blades elders then began to search aimlessly for a way to escape the underground tomb. Meanwhile, not far away, Irving was observing the two of them.

From the very beginning, Irving had never trusted anyone other than his own companions. His reason for discussing cooperation with the two Night Blades elders was merely to extract more information from them.

Since the Night Blades elders had no intention of providing Irving with any information, he naturally decided it was time to let them go. Irving intended to have the two Night Blades elders find a way to escape the underground tomb, and then he would eliminate them.

After all, the battle between the werewolf leader and Elder Lawrence was unlikely to be resolved easily. Irving had plenty of time to observe the actions of others and further adjust his plans.

At the same time, the fight between the werewolf leader and Elder Lawrence had reached a fever pitch. Both sides were harnessing the powerful energy of the Werewolf God within the underground tomb, making it impossible for either to gain a clear advantage.

Elder Lawrence\'s form had shifted from that of a Worm to one resembling a cocoon. This transformation indicated that the power he had gained from the ritual was about to elevate him to a new level.

Seeing the change in Elder Lawrence\'s form, the werewolf leader became even more anxious.
