Ludwig rushed upwards swiftly and soon came close to Nolan, who was still in the prison formation.

Alex
Now, without the suppression from the Ghost Dragons, along with the damage Ludwig dealt with the
formation care at the bottom of the pool, the restrictions upon the old man lessened considerablyâ¦
Ludwig
Alex
Thus, heâd become much stronger and had even placed the thick chains across the surface of the pool
to stop Ludwig from escaping.
Ludwig
Alex
âD*mn it! This really is troublesome!â
Ludwig stopped about a hundred meters away and said telepathically. âIâm sincerely not on the same
side with the Fourcadeâs. You shouldâve sensed it by now, right? Iâve broken down half of the prison,
and I can free you from the other half as long as you cooperate with meâ¦â
Ludwig
Alex
âHmph, in this whole world, only someone from the Fourcade family would be able to crack open this
place. You dismembered the formation so easily. Did you think Iâd be blind enough to believe that
youâre not a Fourcade?â
Nolan put on a firm expression, completely sure that heâd looked through Ludwigâs âlieâ.
Ludwig
Alex
âQuit trying any more tricks. Since youâve fallen into my hands today, prepare to die here with me!â
Ludwig scratched his temple, exasperated. He had no idea what else he could do to persuade the
stubborn old man.
Ludwig
Alex
âAlright then, if words wonât work, Iâll have to use force!â
âMister, I apologize in advance. I really have no other way, and I can only force you to work with me.â
âHahaha! What a joke! You, a kid who hasnât even reached puberty, are threatening me with force? Go
on then, Iâd like to see you try. Come on, youâre about to drown here. Letâs see what kind of force you
can muster!â
âSword heart, prison!â Ludwig stated clearly.
Ludwig
Alex
The force of the swordâs heart reappeared. This time, it separated into nine invincible divine swords
and surrounded the pool, controlling and activating the formation.
âWhat..? What is this?â
This is the first time Nolan had seen such a powerful and heavy presence of the shadow of divine
swords. He shivered uncontrollably in fear under the sword shadows. More importantly, the nine sword
shadows could actually trigger the formation.
It passed through his body and took over the thick chains he had locked over the pool. They rumbled
as they moved, and the formation was moved, tightening as well.
âThis⦠This kid can actually control the formation chains?â
âJulian canât even move the prison. Heâs so young, yet he could actually control it?â
The old manâs shock could be seen on his face. Heâd even forgotten the harm caused to his body as
the chains tightened⦠It dragged his body up bit by bit and floated to the surface. His lower body
sunken in the pool was slowly being pulled up.
Ludwigâs heart shuddered as he looked at the lower body of the old man,
Ludwig
Alex
His lower limbs had been long frozen into ice due to the malicious energy from the Frigid Pool, and it
was in a cool black calor, just like frozen meat stored in the refrigerator for many years. It was even
decomposing, as the veins within had naturally frozen dead long ago.
No normal person could imagine such cruel torture. However, the old man before Ludwig could actually
laugh under such a state.
Ludwig
Alex
âThe Ultimate Book of Medicine, activate!â
Ludwig slashed open his finger and formed the Zharvakko Talisman Formation in the sky with a stream
of blood. It wrapped around the old manâs body slowly.
Ludwig
Alex
âSir, my name is Ludwig Rockefeller!â
Ludwig
Alex
âMy father is called William Rockefeller. I donât know if heâs your son, but some b*stard tried planting his
soul in him and nearly succeeded⦠My dad was adapted by a family that also had the last name,
Rockefeller, when he was still very young. The man who adopted him is called Bill Rockefeller.â
âI heard that the man who handed my father to Bill was paid a large sum of money. But the
Rockefellers didnât treat him as family, viewing him as a money-making machine. When my dadâs
business was running well, our whole family became a nuisance to themâ¦â
âThe Holy Book was the reason why my dad had to fake his death and run away. My mother, Brittany,
also had part of her soul taken away from herâ¦â
Ludwig mumbled as he healed Nolanâs wounds with the Ultimate Book of Medicine.
Ludwig
Alex
âSir, I have no idea where this is. I came here by accident, and I heard about your grudges against the
Fourcadeâs.â
âYou donât have to worry about me trying to take the book from you because I have no interest in it.â
âIâll bring you away from here. When weâre somewhere safe, youâll have the freedom to do whatever
you want.â
With that, Ludwig raised his eyes and looked at the old man. He realized that Nolanâs eyes and lips
were quivering. Tears had long streamed down his eyes, and he was so overwhelmed he couldnât
speak.
