Chapter 313
"Could they possibly have a method to suppress my power now?"
"Indeed! They''ve acquired an incantation known as ''Icebound.''"
"It’s juat an incantation. Does it have the strength to restrain me?" vin was taken aback,
questioning their overconfidence.
"They''ve plundered numerous treasures from Antis, and Semar had deciphered the incantation
from a powerful staff. It''s said to clear the mind and purify the spirit, resisting all manner of illusions.
She''s already tested it with illusion-specialized Protégés, and they werepletely unaffected."
Niks stated, "Semar has shared the secrets of Icebound with Roald, Admus, and Felis. All four
Golden Protégés have mastered Icebound specifically to counteract your Shadowlord''s Wrath."
vin understood now. No wonder they were eager to challenge him. They were confident they
could suppress the Shadowlord''s Wrath, and by doing so, they could defeat him. They intended to
make him admit defeat in front of the entire Organization, using his fall to re-establish the renown of
the Golden Protégés.
"Either ignore them ore up with a counter-strategy." Niks and Myke hade specifically to
warn vin. His most formidable move was Shadowlord''s Wrath, and if it was neutralized, vin
might not stand a chance against Semar and the others, which clearly aimed to embarrass him.
Even if Semar were to fail, Admus and the rest would step up to challenge him in session.
vin, however, felt his interest piqued. The ancient incantation of Icebound must’ve possessed
considerable power. Could it truly suppress the murderous intent of the Shadowbringer?
If it really could, it meant that Shadowbringer had a nemesis, and he''d need to be more cautious in
the future to avoid disaster at crucial moments.
"My lord, someone else has arrived," Grima alerted him.

"vin! As fellow Protégés, we should foster closeness, not iste ourselves to the point of having
no friends." A cold voice came from beyond the iron gate. Semar, a trusted Protégé of the Grand
Elder, pushed open the gate. Dressed simply in in garments, her long hair flowed casually down
to her waist. She was naturally beautiful, yet never adorned herself.
However, no sooner had she finished her insinuation about vin''sck of friends than she saw him
there,ughing and talking with Niks and Myke!
Niks raised an eyebrow. "Is it wrong to wish for privacy? Perhaps tonight, you should leave your
door ajar, and I''ll take a stroll through your quarters."
Semar''s eyes turned icy, nearly ready to chastise him on the spot.
"Others can''t enter your abode, but you can freely invade theirs? Hypocrite!" Niks was rugged in
appearance and equally rough in temperament, with no patience for pretense.
"Niks, watch your tone!" Admus, Felis, and Roald emerged from behind Semar. The four Golden
Protégés had all arrived!
vin''s eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed a confrontation was inevitable.
Roald nced at E. Had she truly sided with vin? But it mattered little; such a woman would
cling to power, and once vin was defeated, it would be seen whether she remained by his side.
Felis and Admus were surprised to find Niks and Myke there. Had theye to tip off vin?
"What brings you to my humble storehouse?" vin asked with a faint smile, weing them.
Semar, with a pointed edge to her voice, said, "Previously, we were remiss in not considering your
current status and merely sent an Elite Protégé to summon you. This time, all four of us Golden
Protégés havee. Will you ept the challenge?"
Niks and Myke exchanged nces. This was ruthless! First, an Elite Protégé delivered a
challenge, followed by an Elder''s reprimand, and now four Golden Protégés joined forces to issue a
summon. They wouldn''t rest until their goal was achieved. If vin refused to fight, they could
proim to the entire Organization that vin was too cowardly to ept! This approach might
prove more effective than defeating vin outright.
