The teleportation array was located in the center of a square.
All around it, quite a few members of the shadow race were guarding the teleportation array.
However, they didn't heed the members of the shadow race's passing. They could easily come and go
as long as they paid their way.
And since there was no reason to guard it, the supposed guards were scattered in the square, chatting
and even gambling.
This kind of scene was common.
And because of it, Austin and his new slaves entered the square and approached a teleportation array
with no problems. After paying a handful of crystals, they were allowed to pass.
Some of them walked to the base of the teleportation array and were about to activate it.
However, just as they were about to step into the teleportation array, something unexpected happened.
"Everyone, stop! Don't activate the teleportation array.
I have received an order from Master Donahue that they are not allowed to leave.
Arrest them all!"
a member who seemed to be a leader of the shadow race shouted, pointing at Austin's slaves.
As if they had been doing nothing else, all the teleportation array guards rushed over to stop them.
Donahue was very powerful and members of the shadow race didn't dare to disobey him.
The consequences would be very serious if they failed to fulfill his command.
Therefore, they all stampeded for Austin and his slaves.
"Bring me all of them!"
everyone roared as they surrounded Austin and his slaves.
"Oh no, master, they are coming for us.
What should we do?"
a slave said to Austin telepathically.
"It's okay. Let me handle it,"
Austin replied calmly. He had already used his spiritual sense to survey the enemies and knew exactly
what he had to do.
A second later, Austin appeared in the square.
Shoop! Shoop! Shoop!
Without uttering a word, he employed the secret skill of the Puppet Strings, and endless, red silk strings
reached out in all directions.
They stretched the outskirts of the square, chasing after the many guards coming towards them.
In a few seconds, all the members of the shadow race had been subdued by Austin and became his
slaves.
"Activate the array now!"
Austin ordered promptly.
"Yes, master!"
A few slaves immediately stepped forward and prepared to activate the teleportation array.
They had been responsible for guarding the array, so they knew all about its inner workings.
Boom!
The teleportation array was activated successfully.
Wasting no time, Austin led all his slaves into the teleportation array.
Whoosh!
In the flash, all the people in the array disappeared.
"No!
We're too late!
The leader was right.
There was something wrong with those people!
Why did they betray us?"
The moment after they had gone, a gray man rushed into the square with a large group of
subordinates.
"Hurry up and find out where they went!"
the gray man roared. He was Donahue.
As fast as they could, several members who also understood the teleportation array ran into it to
calculate Austin's position.
"Master Donahue, they are going to the territory of the elf race!" they reported.
Donahue sneered.
"Contact the prince of the elf race immediately and ask him to arrest all the people who have been sent
through the teleportation array.
Tell him the shadow race will pay a generous price if he does us this favor!"
he ordered.
"Yes, Master Donahue!"
his subordinates answered before scurrying off to inform the prince of the elf race.
In the isolated alien spaces, most races had channels to contact each other, and at this moment, Austin
and his new slaves were on their way to the territory of the elf race.
It only took them a short period of time until
they were
landing on the ground.
Austin checked the surroundings and found himself standing in a teleportation array in a square.
His slaves were standing behind him.
Continuing to use his spiritual sense, Austin discovered that the square was located in a large, ancient
city.
The city was magnificent and prosperous.
There were many beautiful human-shaped creatures passing them on both sides.
All of them looked noble and elegant and carried an air of high importance.
"Are these the elves?"
Austin asked curiously.
Their skin was milky white with a fine luster of emerald.
It was so beautiful that it was hard for one to take their eyes off them.
At first glance, they had all looked very noble.
However, when Austin looked carefully, he found that there was evilness contained in their dignified
auras. It was likely used as a way to lure people in and hurt them.
'Yes, they are the members of the legendary elf race.'
Austin thought to himself, looking around and nodding.
"Master, we have arrived in the territory of the elf race,"
one of his slaves informed Austin telepathically.
"Great. Now we need to get to the territory of the spiritual race.
We don't need to stay here. Use this teleportation array to take us to our destination,"
Austin ordered.
"Yes, master."
The slave nodded in understanding.
In the square, there were many elves responsible for guarding the teleportation array. As long as they
paid a certain amount of money, Austin and his slaves could use the array.
One of Austin's shadow slaves walked out of the teleportation array they were standing in and went to
pay the required crystals.
"Master, now we can go straight to the spiritual race,"
he informed Austin after the price was paid.
However, there was a commotion.
"The prince has ordered us not to activate the teleportation array.
Arrest them all!"
A loud shout was heard.
Immediately, a large group of elves rushed to the square.
"This is not good, master. Master Donahue must have sent a message to the prince of the elf race to
catch us!
The prince of the elf race and Master Donahue have always been friends,"
one of the slaves warned Austin telepathically.
"So we will have to stay here for now.
Let's get out of this square!"
Austin yelled. Then, he appeared in the square and rolled up all his slaves with his sleeve. With the use
of the Secret Reincarnation Skill, they disappeared in an instant.
"Damn it!"
A slender elf rushed into the square with a large group of subordinates on his heels. He had seen what
just happened and rage filled him when he realized he couldn't trace them.
This elf was very beautiful. He had a crown made of beautiful bird feathers on his head. On his back,
there was a green long bow and a quiver hanging around his waist.
"Everyone, go after them!
We need the human brat. The others don't matter as much,"
the handsome elf ordered through gritted teeth.
"And close off the two teleportation arrays. Anyone who tries to come or go must be closely
investigated!"
he added.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
the other elves around him answered in unison.
