Ash and his companions were no longer the weaklings they once were. Now, even Igula was beginning to gather his Holy Sanctuary.
Holy Sanctuary Mages were called Tactical Weapons because they possessed the confidence to never be defeated, always having an escape plan. Even if the Mercury Wooden Horse harbored ill intentions, they were now three Holy Sanctuary Mages plus an exceptional martial servant, and Ash could call upon a Host God at any time. Even if they confronted the Four Pillars God Sect head-on, they had a chance of winning.
Therefore, if Silver Lamp was indeed caught, then it would mean a complete fallout with the Mercury Wooden Horse.
However, the Mercury Wooden Horse shook his head, "We haven't caught her yet."
Hearing this, Ash's heart skipped a beat, feeling an inexplicable complexity of emotions. Black Crow seemed to sense Ash's disquiet and shook his head.
