Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave

The Starry Roc-fish swam around the four pillars, searching earnestly.

It had initially only planned to exhaust Geoffrey's strength.

It figured this was the most efficient way to deal with him and Ziya. Ziya would have been easy pickings after that.

But the Starry Roc-fish hadn't expected Geoffrey to use Grand Teleportation to escape.

The Starry Roc-fish could detect objects using the aura of space, but the Heavenly Ring Staff was obviously shielding Geoffrey and Ziya. It took some time for the Starry Roc-fish's echolocation ability to lead it toward the general direction of the pillars.

It began to sense Geoffrey and Ziya in the area as soon as it approached.

But suddenly, the two became undetectable again.

The Starry Roc-fish had such keen senses that it could see the energy emanating from everything in the world, including from dead people. It could easily pick up on energy fluctuations, too.

Avoiding its detection like this would usually require those in hiding to block all external energy auras and stop emitting auras themselves.

Suffice to say, that was a near impossible feat.

That was why the Starry Roc-fish concluded Geoffrey and Ziya must be using the Heavenly Ring Staff.

It was likely why the Starry Roc-fish couldn't find them now.

But it had to, all the same. It couldn't disobey the downgrader's orders.

"Woo..."

The Starry Roc-fish emitted a long wailing sound.

The sound waves bounced back from surfaces, allowing the Starry Roc-fish to determine the shape of its surroundings, including those concealed.

The sound waves washed through a vast area. But it still failed to pick up on Geoffrey and Ziya.

The Starry Roc-fish figured it must be looking in the wrong area.

It turned to go.

Just then, a door suddenly opened above the Eternal Divine Courtyard. A white light emanated from the doorway.
