711: Chapter 711

Chapter 711

"The museum is looking great." Another middle-aged man approached Jestor. 0

"You came, John."

"Of course. How can I ignore an invitation by the strongest Warlock."

"Strongest? I'm not the strongest now, and I wasn't the strongest then. There are some really strong people in the world. I'm nowhere close to them," Jestor responded, smiling. 

Hearing the reply, John burst into laughter. "Hahaha, you're just being nice. You know that's not true. I've never seen someone best you in all my years." 

"That's because we live on a small island. We don't see what's in the outside world. I do."

"Are you being honest? There really are stronger people than you? Can you give me an example?"

"I won't blame you. I also used to think the same as you. I was also quite confident in my strength as well until I met him..."

"Him?"

"Yeah, A man who was impossible to understand. He was fierce as a beast, arrogant like a King, and strong like a god. One moment he was a warrior who could kill anyone to get done with things."

" The next moment, he was like a caring friend who worried about what his friend might think about his actions. I don't think I've ever met a person like him," Jestor said, sighing. 

"That certainly sounds like a fascinating character. Why don't you invite him to the island someday? I want to meet him as well."

"Invite him? For that, I need to know where he actually is. I have no idea. That was the first, and the last time I met him. Since then, he has only been a memory," Jestor explained. "I wonder where he might be right now."

"The only thing I can be sure of is that he must be ruling some place like a king..."

"Intriguing. Very intriguing. It seems like I really was a frog at the bottom of the well," John muttered, rubbing his chin. 

"I think you should travel the world as well. Take a world tour and see all the places and how they work. I think that'll give you a good idea about the outside world. It'll broaden your horizon."

"Why don't the two of us go together? Like this, you should be able to find that man you talk about."

"Sigh, I wish I could. But this place is my home. It depends on me. I can't leave it alone."

"Heh, why are you so worried? This Island is really peaceful. It's not like it'll descend into chaos after you leave. Everyone is responsible here." John spread his arms. "Look around. What's the worst that can happen in a peaceful place like this? Some minor arguments?

Thud~

Just as he finished speaking, he heard a noise followed by yelling. 

A guard that was standing outside the entrance came flying after the door was opened. The guard slid on the tiles that graced the floor, only stopping when he reached the feet of Jestor. 

"There you are..." A woman's voice filled the room. 

Jestor followed the voice, ending his gaze on Milena.

He turned to John. "You were saying something?" 

He walked to Eve. "I recognize you. I remember seeing your portrait. You must be the Queen of the Divine Empire. Am I correct?"

"That's right. It's good that you know me. That makes things easier. I'm not here to hurt anyone. I just want the stone that you possess. It was bought in the Divine Empire. Return the stone, and no one gets hurt."

"And if you don't return..." She observed her surroundings. "Everyone will die here in three minutes."

"This stone?" Jestor touched his necklace, showing the beautiful jade.

"That's right," Milena nodded, raising her hand towards Jestor.

"This stone? I don't have any particular attachment to this. In fact, I would've given it to you if you had just asked like a nice guest. However, you...," Jestor said, slowly turning his gaze at the guard lying on his feet. 

He held the hand of the man and helped him up. 

"With the way you behaved, I don't think I'll be giving you anything."

"Are you sure about that?" Milena asked, frowning.

"As sure as I can be." Jameson snapped his fingers. However, nothing happened. 

He let out, slightly surprised. "Hmm... What I heard about you was correct. It's similar to what he had. It doesn't work on you either, but that's not too surprising."

"I didn't have much information before, but I thought a lot about that later. And I know why it didn't work. All thanks to information about the Divine Empire."

This time, instead of trying to send Milena away with his Teleportation, he personally disappeared. He appeared behind Milena, held her shoulder, and disappeared. 

Milena was able to use the Teleportation she received from Arthur, but Jestor had a slightly different version of that. 

Arthur could only Teleport himself and the people he was holding. On the contrary, Jestor was not only able to Teleport himself, but he could also Teleport others from place to place without touching them. 

Moreover, his Teleportation range was much longer than the range of Arthur and Milena. 

After being defeated by Lucifer, two things happened to Jestor. Firstly, he started respecting Lucifer as a powerful Warlock, and secondly, he started looking for answers. 

He was filled with immense curiosity about why his Teleportation didn't work on Lucifer. More importantly, it was so he wouldn't end up in a similar situation if he were faced with another Warlock with similar ability of making his Teleportation useless. 

It was only after he heard about Milena and her Noble that he understood what might have happened. 

He found out about the Energy Negation and how it worked, which made him understand the theories behind it. He also assumed that Lucifer had something similar. 

In the last thirty years, he had found out how to deal with a situation like this, the loopholes and the flaws in the skill and such. 

It could stop Teleportation in the surroundings of the owner, but it couldn't stop the Teleportation of the enemy, which was proven when he was able to Teleport before Lucifer. It was only later that he found it. 

He could not Teleport the enemies without touching them, but it was different if he was teleporting with them since that was a loophole. 

As soon as he touched the shoulder of Milena, he disappeared. 

The man appeared in the far end of the island, which was an empty beach where no humans existed. 

After bringing Milena there, he teleported around five meters away from her. 

He cracked his knuckles. "Here, we can talk in peace. It should be slightly fun."
