After eating some grilled fish, Neil felt more energetic. "Ambrose. That guy, the one we fought with… He's too strong. We won't be able to make it if we barge right in."
"Ambrose nodded his head and thought for a while. "Yes. Indeed, it's useless if we hit a rock with another rock. We have to think of another plan."
He was annoyed with himself. 'When have I ever felt so defeated since becoming the Master of the Elysium Gate?'
When Ambrose dwelled on his defeat, Neil got an idea. "I got it! While we're on the island, we could capture two patrol guards and disguise ourselves as them. It'll be a lot easier then."
Neil had entirely inherited all of the strength from Chester—his wit and steadiness.
Ambrose laughed and patted his thigh, "Good! Smart thinking. Let's use this idea. Let's rest for a while. Then, we can think of a way to sneak onto the island when the sky is dark."
After that, they put out the bonfire and rested on the flat surface.
…
At that moment, Antigonus sat on the throne in the main hall. It was already late at night, and he was resting.
Suddenly, a disciple with patrolling duty strode in the main with his face looking very embarrassed. He diligently reported to Antigonus, "Your Excellency, we've searched the nearby waters three times and failed to find those two men."
Since Morticia had addressed Antigonus as 'His Excellency', the members of Sea Dragon Palace followed Morticia and used it to address Antigonus. In fact, the disciple was very worried when he reported it.
Antigonus furrowed his brows. 'Not found? Did they die in the ocean? Based on their ability, they couldn't have died so easily.'
After giving it a thought, Antigonus said, "Spread the order. Increase the defense of the entire island. No slack is allowed."
Antigonus had careful and meticulous thoughts as the supreme leader of the fiend race. He had a high observation.
