Chapter 1013 Trapped

"The meaning is as it is..." Davis shrugged, "Did you think that we"ll just let you go after you walk into this place, even going as far as to giving us a sweet deal to capture you on your own accord?"

"Capture me?" Nora Alstreim fumed with exasperation written all over her face, "For what!? Interrogation!?"

Nora Alstreim had no idea why they had this masked woman impersonate Claire and mused that it could be none other than an illusion, but she also thought that it could be because Alchemist Davis was truly yet stupidly trying to get a confession out of her for a matter she hadn"t done! Perhaps, even the Dragon Queen had been convinced! Otherwise, she found it hard that such a person would try to make a move against her for no reason.

Her anger against Alchemist Davis soared like a kite!

"You are beyond redemption if you can"t understand when I said that I hadn"t done anything wrong! It"s all baseless slander!"

Nora Alstreim slowly stood up as she gradually regained control of her bodily functions.

However, her expression froze when she finally noticed that her cultivation base had been sealed.

"You!? What have you done!?" Nora Alstreim screamed at Alchemist Davis as she tore a scroll from her back, her face instantly producing a scowl before she tore another one from her back!

Davis sneered at her, "Did you really think that Isabella was just touring around the city without doing anything?"

They bought a lot of items that they deemed to be useful in their revenge. As if she was a tyc.o.o.n, Isabella bought many cultivation resources, so no one suspected her intent when she bought these Sealing-Type Inscriptions!

Nora Alstreim also realized that they used a Peak-Level Sky Grade sealing-type inscriptions on her that shackled both her lower dantian and mid-dantian in her body, making her unable to use her Essence Gathering Cultivation and Body Tempering Cultivation!

She clenched her fists and mustered her energy from all her meridian points, her essence energy, and battle aura that was stored in all parts of her body to break the seal! It speedily flowed to her lower dantian, wanting to free her Essence Gathering Cultivation, but it ultimately failed upon clas.h.i.+ng with the seal.

Nora Alstreim"s expression became pale as she realized that it was useless to try and break the inscription seal now. Her thoughts instantly moved to call for aid, trying to alert her grandpa when her face suddenly swiveled towards the right in force as a sharp sound echoed!

*Paah!~*

A stinging pain lingered on her left cheek that made her become blank for a second. The next moment, she became dumbfounded as she turned to look at the masked woman raise a hand at her again!

She tried to block by raising her hands instinctively, but it was of no use as it seemed that the masked woman targeted her hand, no, her finger as she removed the two spatial rings that she wore in a skillful manner.

Nora Alstreim clenched her teeth as she knew that she was powerless to even deflect something of this level. She tried to retreat, but her wrist was abruptly held by another hand!

*Paah!~*

Just when she was about launch a counterattack, another sharp slap echoed to her left as her head swiveled again, making both her cheeks sting in pain!

Nora Alstreim became dizzy as blood dripped from her lips. The humiliation she felt at this particular moment couldn"t be described in words as she reluctantly felt that she was easily slapped!

However, she didn"t lose all hope but spun once before she regained balance and looked at the masked woman seemed to have a hold of her tiny spatial belt that she secretly wore over her waist, and not only that! Even the few emergency artifacts she possessed seemed to be missing from her body!

When she realized this, her gaze turned towards the side, and she finally noticed the Dragon Queen holding those artifacts in her hands, sealing it with her martial energy, temporarily cutting off her connection that she possessed with them through blood binding.

"Wha..." Nora Alstreim couldn"t help but blurt out in incredulity, but she couldn"t even form a word as she realized all three of them present here worked together to strip her clean of all cultivation treasures after sealing her cultivation base!

She couldn"t understand why all this would happen, making her even more needlessly dizzy from the sheer humiliation she received in these short few moments. The only thing left on her was the white robes she wore, and if it were not for the two women present, she would"ve thought something else was going to happen instead.

However, realizing the heat of the situation, Nora Alstreim became pale as she knew that she had become utterly defenseless to any kind of danger she might face! She only had her Soul Forging Cultivation, but a thought emerged in her head, knowing that in front Alchemist Davis, such a thing would be easily suppressed!

Not to mention that the Dragon Queen seemed to be in on this! With the Dragon Queen moving against her, which she found to be incredulous, she trembled as she could realize that all escape routes have been sealed even if she had a chance.

Nora Alstreim couldn"t help but fumblingly look at Alchemist Davis, "W-Why?"

She still couldn"t understand... She felt as if this could be a trial of unknown nature to become a subordinate in her mind and hoped that it should be, but the presence of an illusion-attribute cultivator made her think otherwise.

"Are you pretending to not know, or you really don"t know?" Davis narrowed his eyes in annoyance before he pointed.

Nora Alstreim subconsciously moved her sight to the direction he pointed and saw the masked woman again.

"How does it feel to have your cultivation base sealed in front of danger?"

"Do you feel hopeless? Despairing? Anguished? Perhaps, deep pain from the depth of your soul?"

Nora Alstreim"s expression became solemn before she possessed an angered expression on her face as she gritted her teeth, "Don"t you dare speak in Claire"s voice again! Stop using that inferior illusion on me!"

"Mhm... You seem to be misunderstanding something... I"m not an illusion." The masked woman raised her hand and removed her mask, revealing her facial features.

Black eyebrows, rosy lips, but those purple eyes and the familiar face invoked tumultuous waves in Nora Alstreim"s heart.

"You are... No..." She shook her head, disbelievingly staring at the other party.

"Are you blind?" Claire narrowed her eyes before she flicked her long black hair, "Obviously, I dyed my hair, but surely you can"t fail to recognize me, no?"

"Don"t lie! Claire is dead! Her life tablet had shattered!" Nora Alstreim waved her hand before she screamed in panic, "Now release me!"

"Haha, it sounds hilarious to hear that from your mouth when it"s probably you who deliberately shattered it." Claire ruefully giggled.

"What... are you saying!?"

Nora Alstreim"s expression shook in both confusion and wariness.

Claire furrowed her brows before she relaxed and smiled, "No matter, you will eventually cough out the truth."

Nora Alstreim"s pupils abruptly dilated!
